Horror Movies, I've Brought the Brothers Again

North America

In a school in the small town of Round Clam.

"Horror movie fans, I'm back with the boys today, we're continuing the classic American Horror Story series..."

A few days ago, Li Dan was charging his phone on the second floor while watching horror movie commentary videos. He was struck by lightning on the day of the Great Luck, and that TV was on the second floor!

Getting struck by lightning was bad enough.

Li Dan also had a set of Ghost Cards appear in his mind. He knew without a doubt they were the culprits that brought him here. One of the cards always had a message appear on it.

"No SCP detected."

At first, he didn't understand what SCP meant. It wasn't until one day he came into contact with a priest from the Vatican that the card popped up with a notification.

"SCP detected - traces of Ghost Nun."

Ghost Nun, Li Dan had only heard of it in the classic American Horror Story summoning series.

Li Dan finally realized that the people in North America were in a much more dire situation than he had imagined.

Gunfights were a minor issue; encountering evil spirits, monsters, and various murderers and deformed people was the real danger.

The most serious problem was that the ghosts and evil spirits here were very unfriendly. Instead of seeking revenge, they liked to kill innocent people indiscriminately. If he had known this earlier, why would he have watched horror movie commentaries? He should have just watched romance or "adult" films instead, right?

As for whether he should try to contain the Ghost Nun.

What a joke. That was a devil sealed in the hell gate of a convent. Could he, an ordinary person, contain such a thing?

Of course, even with this, it was still somewhat acceptable. At least he could survive.

He was afraid of getting involved with Cloverfield, The Lighthouse, The Mist, Call of Cthulhu...

That wouldn't be simple horror anymore; it would be worse than hell.

Li Dan now had 54 black Ghost Cards. The cards had four categories: Diamond, Heart, Spade, and Club.

This was easy to understand, just like playing Dou Dizhu with poker cards.

"Note: Having only 55 Ghost Cards doesn't mean you can only contain this number of horrors."

The highest-ranking Ghost Cards were King K, Queen Q, and Jack, as well as the Big King and Little King, which were separate from the categories and could also be called Big Ghost and Little Ghost.

Ace was a special card.

The rest were number cards, from two to ten.

Kings and Queens could have their own territories and spaces.

The surface of every Ghost Card was blank.

All types of horrors successfully contained would become his most loyal subordinates and fused beings. This was the basic game rule of the Ghost Cards.

There were a total of 54 Ghost Cards.

"Categories: Diamond, Heart, Spade, Club."

The cards he could use now were the Two series. Even all the Twos in every category couldn't contain the Ghost Nun.

Her true identity was a demon god from hell. Would containing a demon god with a Two card really not make him explode from being overloaded?

The moment he contacted the priest, Li Dan might have been targeted by the Ghost Nun. The possibility was very high.

For a being of the Ghost Nun's caliber, eliminating Li Dan might just be a casual act.

Li Dan didn't want to be found by the Ghost Nun one day, so containing other ghosts through the Ghost Cards became a necessity.

After all, he didn't believe in God, only that horror could be used to deal with horror.

It's just that this first step was too difficult.

His thoughts didn't wander for too long because today was the day Li Dan had arranged to go on a trip with some friends outside of school to relax in North Carolina.

It's just that the name of this state sounded a bit familiar. It seemed to be a place prone to accidents...

He couldn't recall it for a moment.

Noon

On a winding road within North Carolina, a Jeep was speeding down the highway, flanked by remote forests.

There were three men and three women in the car, no Black people.

Among them were two couples. Scott and Carly were a couple, and Li Dan wasn't very familiar with the other couple.

The remaining woman was named Jessie. She wore a cropped short-sleeved shirt and standard jeans. She was a beautiful white woman, but her skin was tanned to a wheat color.

A considerable number of people in America liked to get tanned.

Li Dan was invited on the trip by her, but even when going on a trip, he didn't forget to bring an Equalizer of All Beings. A handgun could still give him a sense of security.

Blue sky and white clouds. Even though they had to take a detour due to traffic, the scenery along the smaller road was still pleasant.

Everything seemed beautiful.

Until the car got a flat tire, and then it was rear-ended by another vehicle.

Scott got out to argue with the other driver, while Jessie looked at her phone with frustration and complained to Li Dan.

"There's no signal at all in this dump. Li Dan, does your phone have any signal?"

The words "no signal" seemed to flip a switch in Li Dan, making him instantly nervous.

Classic American Horror Story, no signal.

After learning the name of the person who hit them, Chris, and their reason for being here, he became even more certain.

A classic American Horror Story splatter film, "Wrong Turn," which tells the story of a group of mutated ogres, born from chemical agents and incest, hunting down passing tourists.

At this moment, the Ghost Card he was casually playing with also chimed in.

"Detected traces of contained entity: Mutated Ogre."

Li Dan glanced at the surrounding jungle.

Mutated Ogres were not only far superior to ordinary people in strength, endurance, and damage resistance, making them almost impossible to kill with bare hands or ordinary clubs, but they were also proficient with various weapons.

Most importantly, there wasn't just one mutated ogre; all three brothers were present and cooperated with each other.

Difficult to deal with, but this might also be an opportunity.

After getting out of the car to assess the situation, Jessie looked back at Li Dan and asked.

"Li Dan, do you want to go with us to call for a tow, or wait here for rescue with Evan and the others?"

Li Dan listened to Chris's words and said.

"It's better if we don't split up. It's not safe here; I heard there are ogres around."

Li Dan initially didn't want to get involved, but more people meant a higher chance of survival. Then he wouldn't have to outrun those deformed people...

"Ogres? Dude, are you trying to make us laugh to death?" Evan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Undoubtedly, the others didn't believe in ogres either.

Classic disbelief...

Li Dan had no choice but to follow Jessie, Chris, along with Scott and Carly, preparing to walk back along the road to see if they could find a place with signal to call for help.

Although Li Dan knew about Wrong Turn, he had clearly forgotten a lot of the plot, only remembering the general outline.

Not to mention there was a whole series.

They're endless, they're just endless.

Seeing this, Chris chuckled, "Buddy, relax. This is America, how could there be ogres?"

Li Dan's caution stemmed from not wanting to end up like the American Police at the end, getting a golden headshot from a hidden sniper. That would be a truly unjust death.

The group searched along the road.

At a short fork in the road, they saw an old, dilapidated cabin with white smoke rising from its chimney.

Several rusted, long-abandoned cars were parked around it.

Chris suggested they check it out, and the group walked towards the dilapidated wooden house at the end of the fork.

Li Dan observed the surrounding cars, realizing they must have belonged to passing tourists who had unfortunately encountered the mutated ogres and become their meals.

Sometimes he really wanted to curse. What were the police around here even doing?

And that damn phone, always no signal.

"Hey, maybe we should leave," Jessie said, looking at the surroundings and stopping at the entrance.

Chris, however, felt that with their numbers, there was nothing to fear. Besides, the next intersection was unknown, and it might be dark by then.

"Hello, is anyone home?"

Chris shouted while knocking on the door, while the woman from the couple picked up an iron rod and curiously tapped on the wire mesh, making a clanging sound.

Li Dan watched the suicidal behavior in silence.

Seeing no one, Chris directly pushed the door open and entered the cabin. Jessie initially thought it was rude, but seeing Li Dan follow closely, she didn't say anything further.

As soon as they entered.

Everyone was hit by a foul stench.

On the table were not only leftover scraps of "people" but also recently dried, blackened blood, along with various杂乱ly piled items in every corner, and a pot of delicious stew simmering on the stove.

It didn't look like a house, but more like a cluttered storage room filled with garbage.

Ignoring the others' chatter, Li Dan began searching for a suitable weapon.

Unfortunately, there was no Equalizer of All Beings in the house.

Only a few melee weapons.

Li Dan casually picked up a rusty machete.

Chris, Scott, and Carly didn't touch anything in the house, thinking Li Dan was overreacting.

Jessie, seeing Li Dan pick up the machete, advised, "Li, this belongs to someone else; we can't just take it."

"For self-defense."

Jessie looked at Li Dan's earnest gaze and shrugged helplessly. "Alright."

Jessie's attitude towards Li Dan was different from how she treated others. Although Li Dan was an international student, he wasn't like the short, yellow-skinned Asians she usually saw. He was tall, handsome, with naturally fair skin, and most importantly, he had money.

As the group finished looking around the room, a woman's scream came from inside.

They went to the innermost room and saw a dismembered female corpse soaking in the bathtub.
