Vicky got up from the bathtub, went inside the bedroom, and changed his wet clothes. Then he went to the main hall where professor Oak was sitting on the sofa and sipping coffee.
"Come, sit and have your coffee, you will feel better," said professor Oak
Vicky sat on the sofa and picked up his coffee mug present on the table in front of the sofa.
There were two sofas to be occupied by a single person and a small table of wood between them. It seemed like the professor was not so social that's why he didn't have any visitors as well. Therefore only two sofas were there.
Vicky took one sip of coffee and expressions of satisfaction reflected on his face.
" I have never tasted such a good coffee ever before," said Vicky.
"Or maybe your mind is too tired from the exercise you did right now, " said professor Oak.
"Ya maybe," Vicky replied in agreement.
"Soul teleportation requires utmost concentration, So it consumes a lot of energy," said professor Oak.
"So every time I use this power I have to drown myself in water?" asked Vicky.
"Not every time, since you are a beginner that's you have to take support of water. Water acts like a pull-back mechanism for your soul since you won't be able to hold your breath for a longer period, hence once you release your breath, you will be automatically pulled back to your body," the professor answered.
"Ok, I see," Vicky nodded.
"And remember one thing, never practice this technique before securing your own body," said processor Oak.
"Securing body, what did you mean?" asked Vicky.
"When your spirit will be out of your body, it will become vulnerable to various spirits in this world. They will try to possess your body. This body is the most precious gift of God, once you lose it, you will never gain it back, that's why it is said we live only once," said the professor.
"And how to secure our body?" asked Vicky.
"In occult practices, salt serves a great purpose, salt acts as a barrier to spirits, so always make a circle of salt and sit inside it, the spirits won't be able to penetrate that circle," the professor answered taking the sip of his coffee.
"Ok, got it," Vicky replied.
Vicky and the professor finished having their coffee.
"So you told me that you fought that shadow creature in one of your soul teleportations," asked professor Oak.
"Yes, and that creature was not able to harm me directly when he attempted to touch me, his hand burnt down," said Vicky.
"That means you are having some kind of shield which protects your body and soul as well, so you are the gifted one, you practice soul teleportation without securing your body," said the professor.
"Really!," Vicky exclaimed.
"Yes, but it is always good to take precautions," said the professor.
" Now I got my answer that during your soul teleportation in your home, why didn't the spirits try to possess your body, it was because of the shield you possess," said the professor.
Looking at Vicky, the professor seemed more curious about him. He also wanted to know the complete truth about him.
Now both Vicky and the professor were on the same page.
The professor thought for a second and then said
"Enough of this soul teleportation, let's try another way to find the answers we need," said the professor.
"what? but how?" asked Vicky, confusion on his face.
Professor took a rubber ball in his hands with which children used to play cricket. Vicky looked at him confused, not able to figure out what he was up to. It was 2:30 at midnight.
"Perfect time, now let's move," said the professor.
Vicky followed the professor, the professor locked the door and got inside the car. Vicky also got in. They proceeded to the location unknown to Vicky. After traveling a few minutes, they halted at an abandoned building.
"What we are doing here professor?" asked Vicky.
"This was a hospital 5 years ago, one night the hospital burnt due to some accidental gas leakage, and many people died, from that day this hospital is in the same condition. Now, this hospital is the home of some good spirits and some bad ones. I throw this ball inside the hospital and the place where it will float in the air will give us the confirmation of the good spirit. The good spirit will tell us the answer to our question," said the professor.
It was now 3:00 midnight, a time when spirits become very much powerful. Two people standing outside an abandoned hospital with no doors or windows. This whole scene gave Vicky goose bumps. The professor gave Vicky a torch and one was with the professor.
"Remember one thing, there are good spirits inside as well as bad as well, the bad ones will try to distract you but keep yourself focused," said the professor.
