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

"Sit down."

After Cao Kun spoke, Little Radish sat down again.

But his face was still full of shock: "How do you know these things? I've heard that some people can see a lot of things through divination, can you do that too?"

Cao Kun was certainly not a fortune teller.

It was just what Little Radish said; it was actually a plot from a horror movie.

From Cao Kun's current perspective, the way terror manifests in reality is not fixed.

Sometimes, it's just a monster from a horror movie appearing, like Amanda's experience with Paranormal Activity.

Others will be very similar to the original plot.

For example, the Amityville Horror story that the Casey family experienced.

Now, Cao Kun heard from Xiao Luo Bu that this story should be similar to that of the Casey family, with a very similar plot.

The horror movie that Little Luo's girlfriend's best friend encountered was called "Ghostman".

The plot is pretty much what Little Robert described, and the female lead is also named Miranda.

He is also a psychiatrist, working at a mental hospital.

Her husband was the director of that mental hospital.

One day, while driving home from get off work, a sudden downpour caused some accidents on the road, blocking her way home.

She had to take another route, but almost bumped into a girl.

Fortunately, she turned in time and dodged it.

After getting off the bus, she went to check on the girl, who suddenly burst into flames and touched her.

After that, she knew nothing more.

When she woke up, she had already been locked up in the mental hospital where she worked.

Her husband, however, was brutally murdered.

Even more bizarrely, all the evidence points to the fact that she killed her husband.

She vehemently denied it and refused her lawyer's request to admit that she suffered from intermittent mental illness.

With the help of her former colleagues, she escaped from the hospital and, after some investigation, discovered the truth.

It turns out that she really did kill her husband.

However, at that time, someone else was controlling her body.

Coincidentally, this horror film was the one that brought Robert Downey Jr. and his girlfriend Susan together.

In another timeline, Little Radish is considered the male lead, but his role isn't particularly memorable, and his character is quite unlikeable.

Susan is the producer of this film.

Cao Kun never expected that, even though this horror movie didn't exist in this world, Little Radish would still end up with Susan.

Moreover, this horror film still appears around them in a way that reflects reality.

After recalling some random thoughts, Cao Kun said, "How I know this isn't important. What's important is, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Little Robert was stunned by Cao Kun's prophetic abilities and showed him even more respect, saying, "Miranda said she didn't kill her husband, but now all the evidence points to her."

Susan and I absolutely believe Miranda. There's only one possibility: the girl Miranda almost bumped into that night had something going on.

She is very likely not human.

It was because of that girl that Miranda killed her husband.

Cao Kun: "So, you want me to find that girl?"

Little Robert: "Yes, if we find that girl and get her to admit that she did these things, we can exonerate Miranda."

Cao Kun looked at Xiao Luobo with a playful expression.

In the movie, Robert Downey Jr. plays Dr. Pete, who never believes Miranda's words.

They didn't believe the girl existed at all.

He only apologized to Miranda at the very end of the movie when the truth was revealed.

Now, little Robert trusts Miranda completely.

Seeing Cao Kun's strange look, Little Radish touched her face and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

Cao Kun: "No, your idea is bold, but it is very logical."

Little Radish's face lit up with joy: "Then Master Cao, can you help me, no, help Miranda?"

Cao Kun: "As long as you're willing to pay me enough."

If it were anything else, Cao Kun might refuse since he hasn't fully recovered yet.

But the ghosts in this horror film aren't very powerful, and the case is quite simple.

It wouldn't hurt to agree.

"Of course." Seeing Cao Kun agree, Little Radish's smile widened even more: "Name your price."

Cao Kun: "10 US dollars."

The smile on Little Radish's face froze instantly; this was far beyond his expectations.

He now earns around $10 to $20 per movie, and that's before taxes.

Cao Kun's offer was so generous that it required the equivalent of one of Cao Kun's film salaries.

Currently, he only gets a few roles a year.

The little radish asked somewhat awkwardly, "Can you make it cheaper?"

Cao Kun firmly shook his head: "This is my lowest appearance fee."

The little radish looked conflicted, as if it were weighing its options.

His intention was to help his girlfriend Susan and give her a surprise.

Now, this surprise will cost $10.

It seems a bit too expensive.

Cao Kun began eating the appetizers that were served: "No need to rush to make a decision. Just tell me your choice before this meal is over."

Little Radish made a firm decision: "No need, I'll pay for it."

Cao Kun smiled, put down his knife and fork, and extended his hand to Xiao Luobo: "You are a qualified boyfriend, and you will become an excellent husband in the future."

After making the decision, Little Radish relaxed a bit and shook hands with Cao Kun: "I hope so."

Withdrawing his hand, Cao Kun continued eating: "When is the statute of limitations for Miranda's prosecution?"

Little Radish: "Three days later."

Cao Kun: "There's still time. Tell me the address of the mental hospital. We'll meet there at 10 a.m. tomorrow."

Seeing Cao Kun's confidence, Xiao Luobo felt much more at ease and nodded in agreement.

"Oh, right," Cao Kun added, "you need to pay me a $2 advance payment. If things fail, the advance payment is refundable."

Since she had already agreed, Little Radish didn't hesitate: "Okay."

When Cao Kun parted ways with Little Robert at the restaurant, he had already received a check for $2.

He drove back to Wenxintang.

After lighting a row of incense sticks, the mangled flesh face was released.

The man with the fleshy face immediately leaned over the incense and took a deep drag.

Cao Kun, meanwhile, entered the system.

After killing Morian, you received a reward of 5000 merit points.

Adding his original 1300 points, he now has 6300 points.

However, this does not upgrade one's cultivation level.

He now needs a full 25600 points to upgrade his cultivation level.

Not only could his cultivation level not be upgraded, but his spells also could not be upgraded.

Advancing from the third to the fourth level requires a full 1 merit points.

With 6300 merit points, Cao Kun was completely unable to level up, leaving him utterly helpless.

The next day, at 10 a.m.

Cao Kun and Xiao Luobo met outside the mental hospital.

Next to the little radish stood a white woman in her thirties with a decent appearance.

She wasn't very tall, only a little over 1.6 meters with shoes on.

But she was a lucky star, or rather, a savior, for Little Radish.

Upon seeing Cao Kun, Little Radish immediately introduced him: "Susan, he is the very powerful exorcist I was talking about. In China, he can be called Master Cao."

Cao Kun had gotten used to being called "Celestial Master" and didn't correct him. He extended his hand to Susan and said, "Hello, Susan."

Susan shook his hand and asked, "Donnie said you can tell fortunes and see through a person's destiny, is that true?"

"Sometimes," Cao Kun smiled. "But what we need to do most right now is to rescue your friend Miranda and help her get off the hook, isn't it?"

"Of course!" Susan said impatiently. "Let's go now."

The three men entered the mental hospital and asked to see Miranda, but were refused.

Susan grew anxious: "You have no right to restrict her from receiving visitors."

However, the person receiving her remained unmoved, refusing to allow her to receive guests, citing Miranda's poor health as the reason.

Just as Susan was about to explode, Cao Kun said, "Don't rush, let me handle this."
