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

Li Yuan casually hung up the phone, then turned to look at Jessica as she walked into the guest room.

For some reason, Li Yuan felt that this girl...

At this moment, he suddenly became somewhat timid, as if he were a little shy.

He was completely unlike how alert he was when we first met.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled:

"What's wrong, Jessica? Is there something you need?"

Jessica slowly walked to the chair beside Li Yuan's bed and sat down.

Then, somewhat hesitantly, he spoke:

"I'm just... a little curious about Los Angeles."

As she spoke, Jessica looked up at Li Yuan and said:

"I've only been to Chicago; my family moved here from there."

Upon hearing Jessica's words, Li Yuan immediately understood.

This is clearly another girl who wants to make her way in Los Angeles.

However, when Li Yuan heard that Jessica's family was from Chicago,

I immediately became interested:

"Oh? What a coincidence!"

Then, he smiled and introduced himself:

"I went to university in Chicago before moving to Los Angeles with a friend."

Jessica was taken aback at first, then smiled with delight and asked:

"Really? That's such a coincidence!"

"Of course it's true, I spent several years of college life in Chicago."

Upon hearing Li Yuan mention university life, Jessica's smile gradually faded.

I started to feel down.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Li Yuan looked at Jessica, who was looking dejected under the lamplight.

I don't know what happened. Did he say something wrong?

Li Yuan frowned and asked softly:

"Jessica, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Jessica immediately snapped out of her daze.

He then took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying:

"I...may not be able to go to university because of some unforeseen circumstances."

Li Yuan paused slightly, then nodded thoughtfully.

I'm going to change the subject and stop talking about this.

But before Li Yuan could speak, Jessica started talking about her previous experiences.

It turns out that a few months ago, Jessica was at a party...

I secretly drank a lot of alcohol with my friends.

Because she had brought her younger brother Ben with her at the time, she had to take him back.

Instead of staying at his friend's house, he drove back home.

When Jessica, who was driving under the influence, was driving through Chicago's South Side...

Suddenly, they discovered that there was a fire ahead.

And there were a large number of police officers there, stopping vehicles!

Jessica, drunk and afraid of being caught,

They sped up to evade the interception, which led to a police chase.

Finally, just as they were about to get home, the car went out of control and crashed into a large tree on the side of the road.

Fortunately, neither Jessica nor Ben was injured.

However, Ben developed aphasia due to the shock.

Jessica was also suspended from school for resisting arrest while driving under the influence.

This made the news in Chicago.

So it might have an impact on my ability to go to university.

This is why Jessica's family moved away from Chicago and to this remote, impoverished area.

After listening to Jessica's account, Li Yuan awkwardly touched his nose, thinking to himself:

"Could it be the time I set the fire?"

"Hmm, it can't be that. The South District is so chaotic, there must be another reason..."

Thinking of this, Li Yuan looked at Jessica, whose mood had improved somewhat.

He offered a forced laugh and offered words of comfort:

"This may not be a bad thing."

With your looks, you could totally go and try your luck in Los Angeles.

As he spoke, Li Yuan couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Hiss... What's going on? This line sounds exactly like something a con artist would use to lure a girl."

However, Li Yuan glanced at Jessica again and confirmed in his mind:

"It's really pretty; it'd be perfect as a decorative vase."

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Jessica's previous gloom vanished, and she became even happier.

She leaned forward, asking somewhat uncertainly:

"Can...can I really do it?"

Li Yuan stroked his chin and stared at Jessica for a moment.

He then nodded and said seriously:

"I think it's fine if you really go to Los Angeles."

I can recommend some friends in the entertainment industry.

As he spoke, Li Yuan raised an eyebrow at Jessica:

"Keep my business card safe, don't lose it."

Upon hearing this, Jessica took out the business card that Li Yuan had given her from her pocket and nodded vigorously.

Just as Jessica looked at Li Yuan, blushing, and was about to say something,

Her eyes suddenly widened, and she pointed behind Li Yuan and screamed:

"Ah—! Monster!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan quickly turned around to look.

Outside the guest room window, a dark face with empty eyes was staring blankly out!

Seeing this, Li Yuan frowned slightly.

With a swift movement, he instantly appeared by the guest room window!

The monster peering out the window seemed surprised by Li Yuan's speed.

It paused for a moment, then quickly plummeted downwards.

He vanished from Li Yuan's sight in an instant.

Seeing this, Li Yuan quickly opened the window and looked down.

The monster's figure had completely vanished!

At that moment, Roy and Chris, who had heard Jessica's cry, also rushed to the guest room.

The couple looked at their daughter and asked with some concern:

"What's wrong, Jessica? What happened to you?"

Somewhat frightened, Jessica said to her parents in a trembling voice:

"A monster...a monster! I just saw a monster outside the window!"

Upon hearing this, Roy immediately looked at Li Yuan.

I plan to ask him what's going on with him, as an exorcist.

Before Roy could speak, Li Yuan turned and asked:

"Where is your son?"

"Originally..."

Roy hadn't finished speaking when

His eyes widened instantly, and he shouted loudly:

"No! Ben... Ben is in our bedroom!"

With that, he rushed out the door and ran towards his bedroom.

Li Yuan followed closely behind.

At the same time, he instantly activated [Sense Evil Creatures], attempting to track down the monster from before!

Jessica and her mother had no idea what had happened.

They could only huddle together and patiently wait for the two men to return.

Sure enough, when Li Yuan activated [Sensing Evil Creatures],

The location of the monster was instantly pinpointed.

It really was in the Roys' bedroom!

This made Li Yuan somewhat suspicious.

Was that just now a feint that the monster anticipated?

However, Li Yuan didn't have time to think further at that moment.

He shoved Roy, who was blocking his way, and rushed into the bedroom.

Upon entering, Li Yuan saw a black scarecrow wearing a black top hat and made entirely of straw.

He swung the huge wooden cross in his hand with all his might, aiming it at Ben on the bed!

But Ben was completely unaware of the impending danger.

He still stared at the scarecrow with a grin, thinking that the other party was playing with him.
