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

On the way to the US-Mexico border crossing.

Li Yuan was driving the car, chatting casually with Raphael in the passenger seat.

Remembering the commission Raphael had received, Li Yuan asked with a smile:

"Raphael, how's the commission you received a while ago going?"

"Don't even mention it."

Raphael shook his head helplessly and said softly:

"I wasn't much of a help. Apparently, the culprit is a batch of cursed paintings."

Some unscrupulous "artists" stole them, which led to a series of tragedies.

As he spoke, Raphael sighed softly:

"By the time I found the cause of everything, the curse had already wiped out that group of rich people."

In the end, I simply used some magic arrays to reseal those cursed paintings.

The plot sounded somewhat familiar to Li Yuan; it seemed to be a movie he had seen in his previous life.

However, since Raphael has already solved it, there's no need to think about it anymore.

While the two were chatting,

Sherry, sitting in the back seat, curiously looked at Grace beside her.

She was very interested in this silent woman.

But the other party didn't seem to want to talk to Sherry.

She just blinked her bright eyes, gazing at the desolate scenery outside the window.

Seeing this, Sherry mustered her courage and struck up a conversation with Grace again:

"Grace, aren't those deserts outside beautiful?"

Because I heard Li Yuan call the other person's name before.

So Sherry knew Grace's name.

Upon hearing this, Grace turned her head and gently shook her head at Sherry.

It means the scenery outside isn't very good.

Sherry was slightly surprised by Grace's expression.

She thought Grace liked the scenery in the desert.

Sherry then asked:

"Then why are you looking outside?"

Grace took out a pen and paper from her pocket and wrote something casually:

"I just enjoy watching it."

Looking at that line of text, Shirley paused slightly.

I remembered when I had just regained my sight.

Like Grace, she finds joy in everything she sees.

Sherry asked curiously:

"Grace, were you blind too?"

Grace tilted her head and thought for a moment, then wrote on the paper:

"More or less."

Me too.

In that instant, Sherry felt she had met a kindred spirit.

She said with empathy:

"I understand that feeling."

However, she suddenly realized that Grace couldn't even speak.

Then, with even greater heartache, she said:

"It's alright, Grace. Maybe in the future, when medical technology is more advanced, you'll have the chance to speak again."

Grace smiled and gently shook her head.

Li Yuan, who was driving, noticed the two people chatting in the back seat and said with a smile:

"Sherry, don't worry about Grace."

She will speak again someday; it's only a matter of time!

A faint smile appeared on Grace's face.

He knew that Li Yuan would definitely help her find her tongue.

Unaware of the truth, Sherry didn't say anything more.

I could only silently wish Grace a speedy recovery.

As they spoke, Li Yuan drove the car and arrived at the San Ysidro border crossing, the border between the United States and Mexico.

Traveling from the United States to Mexico, the border checkpoint process is very efficient.

Border police generally don't conduct overly thorough checks.

They'll just do a quick check of the trunk to see if there are any smuggled items.

After a brief inspection of Li Yuan's car, the police quickly released him.

Li Yuan restarted the car and slowly drove through the border checkpoint.

However, after the car crossed the border,

Suddenly, I saw the long line of cars on the opposite lane.

Looking at the long queue, Raphael couldn't help but sigh:

"Too far from heaven, too close to America."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan pursed his lips and remained silent.

Instead, they sped up and headed towards Anna's hometown.

After driving for a short while, Li Yuan saw a desolate town ahead.

A sign stands by the roadside – Los Años, 885 residents.

This is the hometown of Anna, the cornea donor from Sydney.

Not long after the car entered the town, it passed a row of railings with offerings and flowers.

At that moment, a burning black shadow slammed into the car window.

This startled Shirley, who was sitting in the back row.

But when she looked at Li Yuan in the driver's seat,

But they found that the other party did not react at all, as if they had not seen anything.

Seeing the fiery black figure gradually disappear into the distance, Sherry quickly spoke up:

"Li Yuan, could you pull over for a moment?"

Although Li Yuan didn't know what was wrong with Xue Li, he still slowly stopped the car.

"What's wrong, Sherry? What did you see?"

"I saw a burning figure, just like the one in my dream."

As she spoke, Sherry pushed open the car door and got out alone.

She stood on tiptoe and looked around, discovering a sizable area of ​​ruins not far away.

There were a few children playing football nearby.

Li Yuan saw Xue Li walking away on her own.

Turning to Raphael and Grace, he said:

"I can go by myself. You two stay here and keep an eye on the car."

"Don't come back in a bit and the wheels will be gone."

"Go quickly!"

Raphael rolled his eyes at Li Yuan and muttered:

"It's not as chaotic as you make it out to be."

Li Yuan didn't argue with him, but just chuckled twice.

He then jogged over to Sherry's side.

Li Yuan reached out and grabbed Xue Li, who was still walking forward, and warned her in a deep voice:

"Don't go alone next time, remember to walk together."

Sherry, regaining her senses, was slightly taken aback.

He nodded somewhat shyly.

"Sorry, Li Yuan, I was a little anxious just now."

The figure engulfed in flames vanished nearby.

Although Li Yuan didn't say anything,

But in my heart, I couldn't help but complain:

There are always these kinds of extraordinary characters in horror movies.

He was suddenly drawn to something and ended up being eliminated for separating from the group.

Li Yuan shook his head, gazing at the children playing football in the distance.

He said to the embarrassed Sherry:

"Shall we go over and take a look? Maybe the locals will know something."

Sherry nodded and followed behind Li Yuan, slowly walking towards the group of children playing football.

A boy who was sitting alone in a daze suddenly noticed Li Yuan and his companion.

He stood up somewhat fearfully, looking at Li Yuan with wary eyes.

He nervously retreated behind him.

Seeing this, Li Yuan slowly reached out his hand to the boy.

He offered a butter cookie as a gesture of goodwill.

At the same time, he speaks fluent Spanish.

Smiling, he pointed to the ruins beside him and asked:

"Don't be nervous, child. I just want to know what's going on around here."

Seeing that Li Yuan didn't seem like a bad person, the boy cautiously walked over.

He took the tempting cookie, looked up at Li Yuan, and whispered:

"A fire once occurred at the factory here."

All the doors were locked, and almost no one escaped the inferno.

I have an older brother who also died here.

While the boy was speaking, the other children also stopped playing.

They all looked over at Li Yuan and Xue Li.

Li Yuan nodded upon hearing this, and then asked:

"Do you know what caused it?"

The boy took a bite of the cookie in his hand and said softly:

"Because of a witch."

Li Yuan knew who the other person was talking about; it was Anna, the donor of Xue Li's corneas.

Li Yuan then asked:

"Do you know where that witch lives?"

At this moment, the other children also came over and pointed in the direction behind them, saying:

"Her house is not far past the church."

"The church is white, so it's easy to spot."

"But the witch is dead."

Seeing this, Li Yuan took out some more biscuits and distributed them to the children, saying with a smile:

"Thank you for your cooperation, go have fun."

Li Yuan waved to the children, then pulled Xue Li along and walked towards the car.

At the same time, a dusty pickup truck drove towards Li Yuan's car.
