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

Upon hearing Aresa's words, Samara and Emma both crowded around.

Samara asked with a curious look:

"Is he the same guy who hit someone?"

Aresa nodded gently and said in a calm tone:

"That's right, that guy also carried a strange aura."

And he's already been marked; he probably won't live past tomorrow morning.

Emma froze, staring at the spot where the black man had just bumped into her.

I am very worried that I may have also come into contact with something unclean.

Samara, however, continued with great interest:

"A mark? He was marked by what? Aresa, tell me!"

Alessa reached out and took her schoolbag from Emma's hand.

He explained softly:

"Some kind of curse, the kind that almost guarantees death."

As she spoke, Aresa raised an eyebrow and whispered a reminder:

"Mom's here."

Upon hearing this, Samara quickly retrieved his schoolbag.

Then, somewhat curiously, he asked:

"Which curse is stronger, that one's or mine?"

"I think it's stronger than your curse."

After giving Samara a casual reply,

A bright, sunny smile immediately appeared on Aresa's face.

This was a stark contrast to his previous indifferent expression.

She looked at Ross, who was getting out of the car, and said with a smile, "I'll be all sweet and coquettish."

"Mom! Why are you so late?"

Ross smiled apologetically and said to Alessa:

"Sorry, honey, we got into a car accident and were stuck in traffic for ages."

Ross reached out and hugged Alessa, then whispered to Samara and Emma:

"You must be starving! Get in the car, we're going back for dinner."

Samara and Emma nodded happily and followed Ross into the car, leaving the school.

Jackson, the black student who knocked Emma down,

In the evening, he got extremely drunk and drove home.

Jackson was a star player on the school's basketball team.

The reason for his low mood

It was because not long ago, he and his girlfriend attended a pool party with their classmates.

As the party was drawing to a close, Mason, a teammate on the basketball team,

Suddenly, he pulled a wooden jar covered in carvings from his backpack.

Then he showed off its origins to everyone.

Mason said he and his girlfriend found it at the top of the mountain while hiking.

He has an identical one at home, which is a very valuable antique!

Jackson thought Mason was bragging.

That jar was probably just a beautifully crafted work of art.

So I didn't pay too much attention to it.

But just then, Mason opened the jar.

Jackson was shocked to discover that there was another one inside.

A bone whistle made from a dried-up, shrunken human head!

At this point, Mason's girlfriend said with obvious disdain:

"Oh! Mason, stop showing it off, it makes me sick just looking at it."

Jackson and his girlfriend Browning nodded in agreement.

That thing looked absolutely disgusting.

At this point, besides the two couples, the only other people remaining by the pool were...

Also, there's Ellie and Will, and Will's sister Daphne.

Daphne was expelled from her original school for drug use, which is why she transferred here.

I just arrived in Los Angeles today and haven't started school yet.

Mason's whistle was disliked by everyone,

But Mason still loved it very much and kept playing with it in his hands.

Seeing this, Jackson assumed Mason was just creating a unique persona.

Wanting to attract other people's attention, he jokingly said:

"Mason, if you really like that damn whistle, you should just blow it with your mouth!"

After saying that, he and his girlfriend loudly mocked Mason.

Provoked by Jackson, Mason immediately retorted, clearly unconvinced:

"Of course I dare, I just love this stuff!"

It is filled with an aura of mystery!

Perhaps we can even perform a soul-summoning ritual!

As he spoke, Mason slowly raised the whistle in his hand.

Puff out your cheeks and blow it out!

Mason's actions successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Daphne noticed that they seemed to be trying to get some kind of mystical connection.

Somewhat bored, he stood up and said softly:

"I think I'd better give up on the idea of ​​whistling to summon spirits."

Ellie, who was somewhat familiar with Daphne, quickly stood up and said:

"Daphne, sit a little longer, let's go together."

Just then, Mason, who had stopped moving,

Seemingly captivated by the face on the whistle,

He unconsciously brought the whistle to his lips and gently exhaled.

"Buzz—!"

A brief, weak, high-pitched wail instantly pierced everyone's ears.

Everyone by the pool heard the whistle.

They all reached out and covered their ears.

When the whistle ended, everyone's hearing returned to normal.

They gazed at each other in silence, yet a faint, unsettling feeling rose within them.

Soon after, a series of unfortunate events occurred.

Mason was the first to blow the whistle after a basketball game.

Suddenly I felt a little absent-minded.

While he was washing up alone in the bathroom, it spontaneously combusted!

As the water flow washed over him, his entire body was burned to a crisp by the flames!

Next up was Mason's girlfriend.

She also died unexpectedly one day after school.

Moreover, the corpse had been transformed into a state of being terminally ill.

All the hair on her head had fallen out, and she was emaciated.

The deaths of two people did not frighten Jackson.

He and his girlfriend Browning also visited the newly built haunted house.

However, Browning also encountered an accident here.

When he found his girlfriend, she was already dead.

The corpse had transformed into a very old woman!

Seeing the horrific scene before him, Jackson finally felt fear.

He rushed to the school and contacted the other survivors.

Unlike Jackson and others,

After Daphne and Ellie realized something was wrong, they investigated the matter.

I also learned the name and origin of this bone whistle.

However, Jackson didn't believe it. After he ran out of the school and bumped into Emma,

He went straight to a bar to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

It wasn't until dark that Jackson secretly climbed back into his bedroom.

I just climbed into the house and sat on the bedroom floor.

Still immersed in grief, Jackson suddenly realized that

There was a dark figure standing in front of him!

Jackson was so startled that he immediately sobered up.

He quickly climbed to the side and looked at the dark figure.

He discovered that the dark figure looked exactly like himself!

All he saw was his own face, studded with shards of glass and covered in bloody wounds.

His neck was also tilted to one side, as if it had been broken!

The dark figure let out a roar and limped towards Jackson.

Jackson immediately screamed and ran to the door, turning on all the lights in the room!

The moment he turned around, the figure vanished completely!

Seeing this, Jackson breathed a long sigh of relief.

She murmured softly:

"This is all an illusion, this must all be an illusion..."

At 9 p.m. sharp, the private jet carrying Li Yuan slowly landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

Before disembarking, Li Yuan thanked the pilot and flight attendants of the private jet.

He then disembarked from the plane with his three attendants.
