Halloween Eve Horror Story Meeting · Black Forest Spirit · Scream

Halloween Eve was a blast for everyone.

At the bar.

The dazzling lights were intoxicating. If I had to describe this scene in one word, it would be "demons dancing."

Everyone was dressed as monsters, so the word fit perfectly.

Li Dan looked at the sea of Halloween makeup and felt that even if he released the Soul Severing Clown, no one would find it out of place.

He'd have to reconsider if it were a Wendigo; that thing was too big.

After dancing for a while.

Perhaps bored, and with all these women clinging to him, Li Dan decided to get a private room upstairs.

Compared to dancing, he preferred enjoying delicious fruit platters.

Pineapple, watermelon, mangosteen, cantaloupe... all his favorites. As for drinks, he was more into beverages than alcohol.

Jennifer followed him up; what was the point of staying alone if Li Dan left?

Heather was probably the most disappointed. She had just mustered up the courage when the party dispersed.

They danced until it was close to midnight.

A host came onto the stage. This host was unremarkable, giving off a vibe of being incredibly ordinary, yet somehow familiar.

He introduced himself as Mugins and then began to tell a story.

A horror story fitting the Halloween theme.

Li Dan initially found it boring but perked up slightly when he heard they were going to tell stories, preparing to listen.

Jennifer, who had been restless, was firmly patted on her backside, covered by jeans, by Li Dan. Pulled into his embrace, she finally seemed content.

At this moment, the host had captured everyone's attention.

Mugins held the microphone, his voice a gentle, immersive narrative.

"The story we're going to tell today took place in a remote region of northern Sweden. Legend has it that a group of local indigenous people worshipped a human-faced, beast-bodied monster for generations."

"Some say this monster is a demon from hell, extremely bloodthirsty and feeding on human entrails. It would then skin its prey and hang the hides in the black forest. Others say this monster has another identity in legend, that of a Nordic..."

The story was captivating.

Even Jennifer and Heather, who were initially indifferent, listened intently.

Li Dan, however, found something off about it. The more he listened, the more he felt it was describing the Black Forest Spirit.

This thing seemed to have a connection to Cthulhu.

As for the so-called son of a Nordic god, that was laughable. While there were myths in North America, divine miracles never appeared.

Were there not plenty of monsters disguised as sons of gods?

More often than not, it was the lies fabricated by superstitious worshippers, afraid of monsters, to avoid repercussions.

Li Dan never believed in those so-called myths. If gods truly existed, the Vatican wouldn't be in its current state; they would have been the first to react.

Compared to myths, there were more cultists who worshipped evil spirits.

In a sense, these terrifying beings hidden in the darkness would indeed accept your worship.

It's just that the cost and reward were not equal.

The story continued.

The bar patrons fell silent, engrossed.

Only when the story ended did the crowd snap back to reality, with continuous questions about the story's authenticity.

Mugins's response was as follows:

"This story is adapted from true events. Whether you believe it is up to you to judge."

Mugins then continued with more stories.

But none were as captivating as the first.

The bar patrons excitedly discussed, some even wanting to form a team to witness the supreme deity from the story.

Jennifer might not have believed before, but after witnessing certain things, she felt that gods might indeed exist.

"Darling, do gods really exist?"

Li Dan chuckled, "No. If gods truly existed, there wouldn't be the profession of Exorcist. Even if they did exist, they would be Evil Spirits or disguised Demons."

Heather, eavesdropping on their conversation, found it incredible.

She didn't believe in the existence of gods either, but she couldn't understand: if gods didn't exist, how could Evil Spirits and Demons exist?

And the church's Exorcists, weren't they priests?

Was it due to religious belief?

Da Shan believed he had seen a Midnight Person. It was precisely because of this that he wanted to cling tightly to Li Dan.

He didn't want to suddenly kick the bucket one day while walking down the street, without even knowing how he died.

Jessie, however, had a different feeling.

She now felt that not only North America was unsafe, but the entire outside world was terrifying. She even had the idea of working at a church.

After the storytelling session ended.

When Li Dan and the others went downstairs, the bar was still discussing the Black Forest Spirit.

It seemed that several people genuinely wanted to buy tickets to Sweden to witness this deity.

Li Dan suspected that Mugins might be a follower of the Black Forest Spirit, deliberately telling stories to lure people to their doom.

However, Li Dan currently had too few containment items to bother, otherwise, he would have bought a ticket himself and joined the group to Sweden to see what the Black Forest Spirit really was.

Night approached eleven o'clock.

Round Clam Town Police issued a notice.

A homicide had occurred nearby. Residents were advised to avoid traveling alone unless absolutely necessary and to stay home if possible.

The target was described as wearing black clothes and a Ghostface mask, blending in with the Halloween festivities.

The police announcement added a touch of horror to the upcoming Halloween.

Especially for the young people, they were the most likely to court disaster.

Upon hearing the police report, some were not scared but instead put on similar outfits and disguises.

As Li Dan and the others emerged, they happened to hear this announcement.

Black clothes + Ghostface mask = Scream.

Scream, a classic American Horror Story series.

It was definitely Scream, but they didn't know if it was the real one or an imitator.

The Ghostface Killer was famous in North America and had even been featured on horror forums.

Many people liked to act under the name of the Ghostface Killer, but in the end, these imitators were often killed by the real Ghostface Killer.

Looking at the young people on the street with the same outfits.

Li Dan could only say, there were still too many people, so many courting death.

Jennifer didn't care about this killer at all. Her boyfriend was someone who could even expel demons; compared to him, murderers were nothing to be afraid of.

"Honey, where are we going next?"

Da Shan and Heather were also waiting for Li Dan to make a decision.

"How about we have dinner, then go home and watch a supernatural show?" Li Dan had no special plans. After Halloween, he was preparing to go to California.

Jennifer hugged Li Dan's arm. "Whatever you say."

After dinner, they parted ways.

Li Dan and Jennifer returned home to wait for the supernatural show to start. This program was a rebroadcast of the famous British show, Supernatural Night Watch.

Before the show began.

Li Dan suddenly stood up. Jennifer asked him what was wrong.

"It's nothing, I'm just going to the balcony to get some air. I'll be down in a bit."

Li Dan casually found an excuse and went up to the third-floor balcony to look down. Several people dressed in black and wearing Ghostface masks were sneakily climbing over the wall into the villa.

They didn't look like the Ghostface Killer, but more like a few lustful petty thieves.

Given Jennifer's beauty, it was normal for someone to have wicked intentions. Moreover, there were only two people in the villa today, and with the Ghostface Killer active in town on Halloween eve, some might want to take advantage of the situation.

The Soul Severing Clown might cause a bit of a scene if it encountered them.

Li Dan thought about it and decided to send out the Evil Spirit Wendigo. It would be easier to just have it eat them and avoid the trouble of disposing of the bodies.

A colossal figure silently appeared on the third floor.

Meanwhile, on the second floor nearby.

Little Loli Emma was secretly peeking through the window at the petty thieves sneaking into the villa. Just as she was wondering how the neighbor's life would end.

She witnessed a scene she would never forget in her life.
