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

Renault's reckless driving brought the car to Li Yuan's office without incident.

As Li Yuan stepped out of the car, still shaken, he gave the following instructions:

"Drive slowly on the way back. The way you drive is only suitable for driving at noon."

"No big deal! Remember to call me next time something like this happens."

Renault waved to Li Yuan.

The car quickly disappeared from Li Yuan's sight.

After Li Yuan pushed open the door and walked into the office...

I found a middle-aged man in a suit sitting anxiously on the sofa, wiping away sweat.

Li Yuan politely inquired:

"Sir, I am Li Yuan. What would you like to buy?"

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, the man grasped at them as if they were a lifeline:

"Exorcism potion! The kind that's priced at 10 a bottle on your website!"

The man spoke quickly, seemingly in a hurry.

He even forgot to introduce himself.

"Okay, no problem. How many bottles do you need?"

"2...No! Give me 3 bottles!"

Before Li Yuan could take out the holy water, he said this.

He then took out his checkbook and wrote him a check for 30.

Li Yuan took the check and then handed three bottles of holy water to the other party.

Seeing the man pick up the holy water and about to leave, Li Yuan grabbed him:

"this..."

Li Yuan glanced down at the name on the check before continuing:

"Mr. Cotton Marcus, I need to explain how to use it to you first."

Cotton slapped his forehead in frustration:

"Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Li. Please tell me how to use it."

Seeing that the other party was anxious, Li Yuan quickly sped up his speech.

I explained to the other party how to use the holy water and the precautions.

Finally, he didn't forget to add a word of advice:

"If you still can't handle it, you can call me and I can come and take a look myself."

Cotton nodded somewhat awkwardly upon hearing this.

Before leaving, he asked meaningfully:

"Mr. Li Yuan, do you think God is willing to save the lost sheep?"

The man's words startled Li Yuan, and he didn't know how to answer him.

Fortunately, the man only said something absentmindedly before quickly leaving the office.

It seemed that he didn't really want Li Yuan to help.

Li Yuan watched the man's departing figure, then glanced down at the check in his hand.

He muttered to himself, "This man is really strange."

Then he turned to Edward and said:

"We can update the products on our website now, adding liver pies and demon-slaying potions."

"What's the price?"

"5 per serving."

"Why don't you just rob it..."

Edward rolled his eyes. Who would buy something this expensive?

The firm's subsequent business dealings proved Edward and Raphael's words true.

Since that deal with Cotton, Li Yuan's firm has not reopened.

The surroundings suddenly quieted down, and everything was so calm and peaceful.

Li Yuan spends his days playing with cats and browsing paranormal forums.

It was just texting and chatting with Megan, Scarlett, and Laura.

The police and church that had been targeting Li Yuan previously

For a moment, they seemed to have forgotten about Li Yuan.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed quietly.

Christmas is just around the corner.

Li Yuan, who was browsing forums on the website that day, received a text message from Megan.

"Li Yuan, do you have plans for New Year's Eve?"

Upon seeing this message, Li Yuan, who was feeling listless, immediately perked up.

"No, are you going to ask me out?"

Megan replied happily after reading Li Yuan's reply:

"My mother gave me two tickets to the Poseidon cruise ship. How about we spend New Year's Eve together on the cruise?"

Li Yuan searched his memory for the name of the Poseidon.

Finding that there wasn't anything particularly memorable, he readily replied:

"No problem, is there anything I need to prepare?"

"There's nothing to prepare. Just wait for my news."

At that moment, Edward's large head suddenly leaned closer:

"You've got another girl asking you out, is it Scarlett or Laura?"

Li Yuan reached out and pushed Edward's head away, saying:

"No, what is it?"

Edward chuckled awkwardly, then looked at Li Yuan somewhat sheepishly:

"Could you come home with me... for Christmas?"

"go home?"

Edward's words surprised Li Yuan:

"Didn't you have a falling out with your family?"

"I've had a falling out with my family, but... I'd like to ask you to come back and help me with something..."

Li Yuan nodded, somewhat surprised.

"Okay, but what kind of help is it?"

"Um...can I tell you after I get home?"

Edward smiled sheepishly:

"Let's drive back."

"I remember your hometown is in Chicago! How could you possibly make it in time?"

The thought of that long journey gave Li Yuan a headache.

"No, my hometown is actually Texas."

Edward said somewhat guiltily, "It should only take three or four days to get there."

Li Yuan was taken aback when he heard this; he really didn't know that.

Edward rarely asked him for anything, so Li Yuan reluctantly agreed:

"Okay, that's pretty mysterious."

After agreeing, Li Yuan turned his attention back to the computer screen.

At this moment, a heated discussion was taking place on the paranormal forum.

The famous exorcists, the Warrens.

Li Yuan stared at the Warrens' names on the forum and muttered to himself:

"If we really can't encounter any evil creatures, then we'll have to actively seek them out; we can't neglect improving our strength..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuan's eyes lit up:

"Yeah, this trip is a good opportunity to try our luck and see if we can run into any weirdos or monsters!"

The next morning.

After getting ready, Li Yuan, along with Hellstalker and Edward,

I embarked on a journey to Texas for Christmas.

Before leaving Los Angeles, Li Yuan visited Raphael's shop.

He left behind 10 bottles of Demon-Slaying Potion and asked him to help sell them.

"Li Yuan, you're selling this for too high a price."

Raphael kindly reminded him:

"Several exorcists came to ask about the price, but they all ran away in fear."

"I'll help you promote it if I find someone with the resources; I don't expect to make money off the poor."

Li Yuan smiled and waved goodbye to Raphael before leaving Los Angeles.

As the car drove out of Los Angeles, it quickly left behind the city's hustle and bustle.

We entered the vast desert highway.

After arriving in Phoenix, Arizona, the two rested for one night before setting off again the next day.

Today they are preparing to speed up and drive through New Mexico.

Li Yuan and his companion took turns driving along the way, and their speed was not slow.

However, by evening, the car still hadn't left the long, uninhabited area.

The surrounding dark and silent desert seemed poised to swallow people up at any moment.

Edward gripped the steering wheel and said to Li Yuan with some concern:

"If we can't find a gas station, we'll have to fill up with spare fuel..."

Holding the black cat, Li Yuan said without any concern:

"It's okay, we have enough spare fuel to drive all the way to your hometown."

He had already prepared gasoline and food in his system space.

They're not even afraid if their car breaks down.

Captain Hans' BMW is still stored in the system space.

As the two were talking, Edward suddenly realized that

In the pitch-black night, there was a place with lights on!

He exclaimed happily, "Great! It must be a gas station!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan sat up straight and said seriously:

"We'd better be careful. This desolate wilderness is a perfect place for murder and robbery."

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Edward immediately became nervous.

"Or should we just stop trying to keep going?"

"Go and see for yourself, but be cautious."

A moment later, Edward parked the car at the gas station.

Li Yuan took out a pistol from his spatial storage and held it in his hand.

They cautiously observed the movements around them.

Edward looked around and said in confusion:

"It seems... nobody's here..."

"You go refuel first, I'll keep watch."

Upon hearing this, Edward immediately ran to the refueling pump.

Quickly pull out the fuel nozzle and refuel the car.

Just as the two were tense.

'Bang!'

A gunshot shattered the silence of the night.
