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

After hearing Cao Kun's three sentences, Amy's eyes widened in shock: "You...you also performed that ritual?"

Cao Kun found this extremely interesting.

He just saw those three sentences online.

As a result, Amy got into trouble because of those three sentences.

What a coincidence!

It's all so coincidental; there must be an invisible hand orchestrating it all.

"Of course I didn't," Cao Kun said. "Any kind of spiritual game or mysterious ritual should absolutely not be performed."

That's like you opening up your body to ghosts and monsters.

It will also establish some kind of connection between you and that monster, allowing it to see you, harm you, or even... eat you.

Amy's face paled even more: "What should I do now?"

Cao Kun: "What happened after you held that ceremony?"

Amy: "Nothing happened at first, but that night we all had a dream that we came to the forest in the video."

The forest was very eerie, shrouded in mist.

Just as I was about to check, a dark shadow suddenly pounced on me, and I was startled awake.

The next day, I asked them, and they said they had all had the same dream.

Cao Kun felt increasingly familiar with it; it seemed like the plot of another horror movie.

Cao Kun: "Did you see what that dark figure looked like?"

Amy: "I didn't see it clearly, but it should be the same as in that video. It was a tall, thin figure in a suit, but without facial features, just a deathly pale face."

Amy's reminder finally made Cao Kun realize what had happened to her.

Cao Kun asked, "Is the thing you summoned called Slender Man?"

"Yes, it's Slender Man." Amy nodded quickly.

There's nothing surprising about that; this horror movie has become a reality.

And this horror movie is called "Slender Man".

In another world, this thing was originally an urban legend created by someone online.

Then, a film company adapted this urban legend into a horror movie.

Now, this horror movie has become a reality in this world.

The plot of this horror movie is pretty much what Amy described.

It could even be described as old-fashioned and boring.

It's about four young girls who did something reckless, performing a ritual to summon Slender Man based on content from a video.

After that, they all ran into trouble one after another.

First, a girl went missing.

Later, both girls died.

Only one girl remained, still struggling.

But in the end, he couldn't escape and became food for the Slender Man.

There's always this kind of formula in horror movies.

The main characters are usually young men and women.

After the incident, they neither told their parents nor thought of calling the police for help; instead, they faced the investigation on their own.

In the end, they either die a horrible death or survive by sheer luck.

But now, with terror becoming a reality, everything has finally changed.

At least, Amy told her parents.

Her father brought her to Wenxintang, seeking help from Cao Kun, a professional.

"Master Cao, you can save Amy, right?"

Seeing that Cao Kun had a good understanding, Bain asked expectantly.

Amy also had a pleading look in her eyes, filled with a longing for life.

Cao Kun did not answer immediately.

He was thinking about the description of Slender Man in the movie.

It is said to be an existence between spirit and physical form, a kind of alternative ghost.

In the movie, it's quite powerful.

It is tall and thin, and has many tentacles on its body, just like Doctor Octopus.

However, those tentacles looked a bit like tree branches.

In addition, it has a number of other abilities.

But for Cao Kun, who is now a seventh-rank geomancer, he felt that this should be enough to handle the situation.

Meeting the expectant eyes of the father and daughter, Cao Kun nodded: "Okay, $10, I'll take care of it for you."

It seems that they already knew Cao Kun's pricing standards when they inquired about it.

Bain didn't hesitate and immediately agreed, "Okay."

Cao Kun: "A prepayment of 2 yuan is required, with the final payment to be settled after the project is completed. If the project fails, the prepayment will be refunded."

After putting away the $20,000 check, Cao Kun said, "Let's go, I'll go to your house."

The Bain family is clearly not an ordinary family, given that they can afford $10.

Upon entering the affluent neighborhood where they lived, the environment became noticeably cleaner.

The lawns in front of each house were trimmed very neatly.

Because of a bizarre rule in country M, clothes cannot be dried in the yard.

Therefore, you can't see those clotheslines hanging there.

After parking the car in Bain's garage and entering the living room through the garage door, Bain introduced his wife to Cao Kun.

"I also have a younger daughter who is currently in school."

After introducing his wife, Bain pointed to the photos on the wall and said...

Cao Kun recalls that in "Slender Man," the female protagonist did indeed have a younger sister, who was only about 10 years old.

However, she did get along well with Bain's youngest daughter.

In the movie, the youngest daughter also watched the video and held a ceremony.

At the end of the movie, the female protagonist dies, and her sister becomes Slender Man's next target.

I wonder if Amy's sister has already held the ceremony now that it's become a reality.

Under normal circumstances, she should be able to attend school normally and should be fine.

But since it's related to ghosts and monsters, it can't be judged by common sense.

Cao Kun turned to Amy and asked, "Did your sister also watch that video?"

Amy was unsure: "No...no?"

In the movie, the video that the younger daughter watches was made by one of Amy's friends.

After that, the friend was dragged away by the Slender Man's tentacles.

Amy's friend is now dead.

So, if the plot remains the same, then according to the timeline, Amy's sister has already seen that video.

Cao Kun's expression turned serious: "Bain, get in your car and head to your youngest daughter's school right now. Amy, you come too."

Seeing Cao Kun's serious expression and solemn tone, Bain panicked: "Master Cao, Eileen, she..."

Cao Kun: "I'm not sure right now; we'll only know after we go and see for ourselves."

Bain's heart was pounding in his chest.

He couldn't even imagine how devastated he would be if his eldest daughter were to get into trouble too.

His wife panicked when she heard this: "I'm going too!"

The four of them drove quickly to the school.

After some communication, all four were allowed to enter the school.

They found the class where their youngest daughter, Eileen, was, but couldn't find her there.

The Bain family panicked even more.

Bain's wife was on the verge of tears.

Bain and Amy also had racing hearts, their faces filled with tension and fear.

When I asked the teacher, I found out that Eileen had gone to the toilet.

"However, she has been gone for 10 minutes and has not returned yet."

The teacher looked at the time and also looked puzzled.

In particular, the Bain family's noticeably strange reaction made her nervous: "What's wrong with Eileen?"

Cao Kun's face darkened. The bathroom, being such a filthy place, was naturally prone to accumulating evil energy.

It is one of the places where evil spirits appear most frequently.

If Eileen really watched that video and performed that ceremony, then there's trouble.

Cao Kun said in a deep voice, "Where is the restroom? Take us there quickly."
