I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Li Yuan was slightly taken aback when he saw the woman walking towards him. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed.

She was tall and slender, with fair skin and soft features, and long, smooth, dark brown hair that cascaded over her shoulders.

Beneath a pair of slightly heroic eyebrows are a pair of light brown eyes.

However, a faint trace of sorrow lingered between her beautiful brows and eyes.

"Hmm...this person looks so familiar, who is it again?"

Just as Li Yuan was staring intently at the woman,

The little girl who had followed the woman in suddenly looked up at her and said:

"Mom, that uncle is looking at you."

The woman was taken aback by what she heard, and then turned her gaze toward Li Yuan.

There was only one table of guests in the restaurant, Li Yuan's.

Therefore, women can easily lock onto their targets.

When the woman saw Li Yuan staring intently at her, she showed a wary expression.

Seeing this, Li Yuan immediately felt somewhat embarrassed.

He had indeed been staring for too long and had lost his composure.

He then stood up with a smile and said softly and honestly to the woman:

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I just felt you looked familiar, I didn't mean any harm."

Seeing that Li Yuan's gaze was sincere, the other party seemed to genuinely mean no harm.

The woman's gaze softened slightly.

She chuckled softly, shook her head, and whispered to Li Yuan:

"I'm sorry, sir, I don't think I've seen you before."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan nodded, his smile unwavering, and said:

"Okay, then maybe I made a mistake."

He smiled and nodded to the woman.

Li Yuan slowly sat down in the chair, feeling a slight sense of relief.

"Thank goodness, I almost got mistaken for a pervert..."

At this moment, the restaurant owner also brought out the prepared food.

Li Yuan, whose stomach was already empty, stopped thinking about it once the food was served.

He buried his head and began to concentrate on cooking.

Li Yuan eats very quickly.

After he finished his food, the mother and daughter also finished their meal.

They ate very little and seemed to have little appetite.

The two paid their bills one after the other, and Li Yuan followed the mother and daughter as they slowly walked out of the restaurant.

He noticed that the woman's eyes kept glancing at him.

Li Yuan had no choice but to slow down and said in a friendly manner:

"Madam, I really meant no harm."

As he spoke, he took out his business card and handed it to the woman, saying:

"My name is Li Yuan, and I am an exorcist. This is my business card."

Hearing Li Yuan's self-introduction, the woman couldn't help but be somewhat taken aback.

She couldn't believe she had any idea how she could be associated with exorcists.

After taking the business card, the woman looked at it carefully for a while before saying:

"Hello, my name is Dalia. How can I help you?"

"Have you encountered anything strange lately?"

Dalia shook her head in confusion:

"No, everything is normal."

Taking into account the unique characteristics of this world, Li Yuan...

Anyone who looks familiar to him, unless they are a real actor...

Then it's highly likely that he's a character from a horror movie.

So Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, then whispered to the woman:

"Madam, I hope you won't mistake me for a con artist, because that could harm you."

Li Yuan stared intently at Dalia and then said:

"You're likely to encounter some strange things in the near future."

If you feel scared, you can try contacting me. I've been in New York for the past few days.

Dalia found the other party's behavior somewhat puzzling.

But seeing the other person's serious expression, I subconsciously put the business card away.

Dalia nodded to Li Yuan expressionlessly.

Then he quickly left with his daughter.

Li Yuan watched Dalia's departing figure and muttered to himself:

"Which movie was it? I can't remember at all."

Patting his head, Li Yuan said helplessly:

"Watching too many horror movies isn't a good thing..."

Li Yuan glanced down at his watch and realized it was still early.

He planned to take a stroll around the neighborhood.

In winter, the afternoon sun warms you up.

Having finished his meal, Li Yuan strolled leisurely through the crowd with his hands in his pockets.

The surrounding area is mostly filled with office workers.

They quickly finished their lunch and rushed back to continue working.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Li Yuan couldn't help but think of himself in his previous life.

It seems that no matter the era, those trapped by life are always the same.

No one can escape this daily grind.

After strolling through several streets, Li Yuan suddenly noticed that...

There was a shop on the roadside with an interesting name; its signboard read "Strange Antique Shop".

"I'd like to see just how strange this name is."

Li Yuan pushed open the door and stepped into the small shop.

Upon entering, Li Yuan frowned as he looked at the narrow and cramped space.

The shelves were filled with all sorts of strange and unusual goods.

You can find items from all eras and countries here.

Li Yuan even saw some animal specimens in the corner.

At this moment, an elderly man with white hair and beard slowly squeezed out of the house.

He looked Li Yuan up and down, his muscular build sizing him up, and said playfully:

"Young man, your style probably doesn't suit this place."

Li Yuan's lips twitched, and he nodded, saying:

"That's what I think too."

With that, Li Yuan turned around and prepared to leave.

But the old man behind him suddenly spoke, calling out to Li Yuan:

"Wait a minute! I think I know you!"

Li Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this, then turned back to look at the old man and asked in confusion:

"We don't think we've met before, have we?"

The old man stared at Li Yuan for a moment, then suddenly burst into hearty laughter:

"You must be Li Yuan? I've seen you in the newspaper!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan smiled and nodded to the old man, saying:

"That's right, I am Li Yuan, an exorcist."

The old man suddenly paused, then quickly stepped forward and grabbed Li Yuan's arm, saying urgently:

"Since you're an exorcist, you must be interested in cursed objects!"

"Of course I'm interested."

Li Yuan was somewhat surprised and asked curiously:

"You still have that kind of thing here?"

"That's right, I have a cursed box here, and I hope you can take it with you. I dare not keep it any longer."

As he spoke, he pulled Li Yuan inside.

The old man's words excited Li Yuan. Could it be the Box of Grief?

With anticipation, Li Yuan followed the old man through the narrow space of the shop.

We arrived at the storage room at the back of the shop.

The old man took a silver box from a hidden shelf.

The box was covered with characters that Li Yuan couldn't understand.

Upon seeing the shape of the box, Li Yuan immediately deflated.

He remembered what the Box of Grief looked like; it wasn't this shape.

"Li Yuan, please buy it, please help me out."

"Buy it?"

Li Yuan was taken aback by the old man's words.

He thought the old man was going to give him something.

"Of course, you have to let me recoup my costs. I paid $500 for it back then."

Li Yuan frowned as he took the box and carefully examined it.

They found no evil aura above.

But the moment I touched it, I felt a faint chill.

"It seems to be fine, so why don't you keep it for yourself?"

Li Yuan didn't intend to take it; he always felt that the old man was trying to cheat him.

"$200! How about $200?"

The old man said with some sadness:

"I'll accept the loss, but I really don't want to keep it anymore."

Li Yuan pulled out a Franklin note and said:

"It's only $100. If you agree, I'll take it."

The old man snatched the banknotes and nodded eagerly in agreement:

"make a deal!"

Li Yuan's lips twitched, and he silently thought to himself:

"Looks like I got scammed by the old man... This is probably no different from the handicrafts sold in tourist attractions."

Li Yuan held the box in his hand, shook his head slightly, and then turned and left.

The old man watched Li Yuan's departing figure and muttered to himself:

"It's so easy to make money off these celebrities."

As he spoke, he took out a small silver box and put it back in its original place.

Feeling somewhat down, Li Yuan took a taxi back to his residence.

After a quick dinner, I went to bed to rest.

He casually tossed the small silver box onto the bedside table.

Just as Li Yuan turned over, the box suddenly trembled slightly.
