While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

Seeing Cao Kun laugh, Lawrence frowned: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing. You want my shop, right? I can give it to you." Cao Kun agreed immediately.

Cao Kun's swift response surprised Lawrence for a moment.

Then he laughed and said, "Cao, you're a smart man. Now, go pack your personal belongings."

"Can."

Cao Kun turned around and went into the inner room.

He didn't even need an hour; he came out a few minutes later, his hands still empty.

"Excuse me."

Cao Kun walked past Lawrence and left.

Looking at Cao Kun's retreating figure, Lawrence was somewhat bewildered. Cao Kun's reaction was completely different from what he had expected.

"Lawrence, don't you understand? He's just like all the yellow-skinned guys, so cowardly. He simply doesn't dare to refuse."

A black man laughed loudly.

Is that really the case?

Lawrence wasn't sure.

"Lawrence, even though we haven't taken any action, you can't skimp on the money you promised us."

"You won't be shortchanged, but you'll be staying here tonight," Lawrence said.

Why?

"He agreed too readily; I'm worried he'll come and cause trouble tonight."

You always tend to overthink.

"That's why I can hire you."

"Okay, but we're only staying one night, so you'll have to take care of our dinner and plenty of beer."

"Deal. Tomorrow morning, I'll bring people over to pack up and change the locks. Then it'll be too late for him to regret it."

…………

at night.

Three black guys were lying on the sofa, watching a big-screen TV and drinking beer.

On the coffee table, there was still their unfinished pizza, casually tossed aside.

In just a few hours, they've turned this place into a complete mess.

"Nothing's wrong at all. Lawrence always overthinks things."

"That's just how Huangpi Lao does things. He prefers to avoid trouble. That kid was clearly scared by us, which is why he left obediently."

"It's better if nothing happens. I can sleep here and get the money tomorrow."

"It's a pity there are fewer women, haha..."

The three of them drank and laughed, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

Suddenly, the bald Maguire noticed the bathroom light flicker.

He turned his head and saw a figure flash by.

Maguire was startled and sat up straight involuntarily.

He got up and went to the bathroom to check, but there was nothing there.

"What are you doing, Maguire?" the other two asked, seeing his state.

"It's nothing." Maguire thought he might have misread it.

He walked back, sat down again, picked up his beer, and continued drinking.

I had only taken a couple of sips when suddenly all the lights and the television in the room went out, plunging the room into complete darkness.

Before Maguire could even feel fear, a scream suddenly rang out: "Ah!"

Maguire recognized Trey's voice and quickly asked, "Trey, what's wrong, Trey?"

Trey didn't respond, so he called to another person, "Kenny, come look at Trey, what's wrong with him?"

No one answered him; it seemed Kenny hadn't heard him.

Just then, the sound of a toilet flushing came from inside.

Maguire immediately turned his head towards the direction of the toilet, but in the complete darkness, he couldn't see anything.

"Tracy, Kenny, say something, say something!"

Maguire felt his scalp tingle and the hairs on his body stand on end; his fear was reaching its peak.

He forced himself to calm down, but he couldn't calm down at all. The unknown in the darkness made him feel like his scalp was about to explode.

Tick-tock... tick-tock...

The sound of liquid dripping onto the ground terrified Maguire even more.

Just then, the TV turned back on, but it was just static.

However, there was finally light, and Maguire immediately looked towards Trey's location.

He remembered that Trey was the first to scream.

Upon seeing it, Maguire jumped up in surprise.

He saw Trey's head slam onto the table, a beer bottle going through Trey's right eye and out the back of his head.

Blood had already flowed all over the ground, but more blood continued to flow.

That dripping sound comes from here.

"what!"

Maguire was so startled that he jumped up and backed away.

"Kenny."

He thought of someone else, but looking left and right, he couldn't see anyone.

At that moment, the lights in the restroom also came on.

"Kenny, is that you?"

Maguire carefully walked around the table and headed towards the restroom.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw Kenny's head buried in the toilet, his body motionless.

What buried Kenny's head in the toilet wasn't water, but deep red blood.

"what!"

Maguire screamed again, not caring about anything else, and ran outside.

But after running a few steps, he felt a chill on his back, as if something had landed on him. His steps became heavier and heavier, and his movements became slower and slower until he came to a complete stop.

He slowly turned his head and saw the thing lying on top of him.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

thump...

He collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.

………………

9 o'clock in the morning.

Lawrence pushed open the door of the Heart-to-Heart Hall and shouted, "Get up, guys! Get ready, the movers are coming soon!"

But no one responded to him.

"Are you sleeping so soundly?"

Lawrence muttered something to himself and continued walking inside.

Suddenly, he tripped and almost fell.

I steadied myself by grabbing the shelf and looked down.

"Fuck."

Lawrence swore and jumped away.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Maguire.

However, the other person's facial features were distorted, and their face was ashen; they were already dead.

"How could this happen?"

Lawrence was terrified, and his face quickly lost all color.

He mustered his courage and peered inside, but couldn't see clearly.

"Trey, Kenny..."

He called out several times, but no one responded.

He took a deep breath and walked inside.

"what……"

Soon, Lawrence rushed out screaming.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Cao Kun.

Good morning, Lawrence.

Cao Kun greeted him politely.

Lawrence, still shaken, pointed inside, gasping for breath, unable to speak for a moment.

After a while, he finally said, "Did you do it?"

Cao Kun asked, "What did I do?"

"You killed them all?" Lawrence's face turned pale.

"Kill him?" Cao Kun walked to the door and saw Maguire, who was closest to the door, but he didn't go in.

He calmly replied, "I can sue you for defamation."

Cao Kun took out his phone and called Sheriff Ford.

"Master Cao, what brings you here?"

Sheriff Ford was very polite.

Cao Kun: "Sheriff Ford, a body has been found in my store. Please bring your men here immediately."

"A body." Sheriff Ford immediately became serious. "Okay, I'll be there soon."

When a murder occurs, the police respond significantly faster than usual.

Shortly after, Sheriff Ford and Laura arrived together.

They walked straight towards Cao Kun, exchanged a brief greeting, and then Sheriff Ford asked, "Master Cao, what's going on here?"

Cao Kun shook his head and said, "I don't know either. My shop was robbed yesterday."

This morning, when I came over, I saw someone rush out of the shop, and inside, there was a body lying there. I was too scared to go in, so I called you.

Sheriff Ford's expression immediately changed: "Where is that person?"

Cao Kun pointed to the shop next door: "It's inside."
