Several people were indeed attracted by Jennifer's beauty.

Coupled with the police report about the Ghostface Killer's crimes, they hatched a plan to take advantage of the chaos.

As they infiltrated the property.

The three men's hearts were already burning with desire. They thought of the hot, beautiful, and sexy Jennifer, and also of the wealth owned by the villa's master.

It was probably enough for them to live lavishly for several months.

But before they could get into the inner courtyard, Chopper, the only Black man among the three, heard a violent breathing sound.

The breathing sounded like a roaring engine.

Chopper could even feel the heat behind him. Mustering his courage, he called out, "Hey, bro?"

There was still no response, only the heavy breathing from behind.

Chopper's fear grew. He glanced at the light inside the house and slowly turned around, his eyes widening.

Holy crap.

A monster with blood-stained, bluish skin, nearly two stories tall, was staring at him, chewing on something.

The chewed food looked like the lower half of his good brother's body. The heavy breathing, like a car engine, was clearly coming from this monster.

Chopper tried to stay calm and not scream to provoke the monster. Instead, he pointed towards the house, "Hey, man, there's better food inside. I haven't showered in a month, you can smell me, or how about I become your servant?"

Li Dan watched the Black man trying to communicate with the Evil Spirit Wendigo and couldn't help but admire his courage.

He was actually trying to appease the Evil Spirit Wendigo and then divert the trouble.

But that just meant he deserved to die even more. Wouldn't it be better for these unruly guys to stay in Africa or the Black neighborhoods?

However, it seemed like a good choice for the food of the containment object.

Li Dan emerged from the shadows. To Chopper's shocked gaze, the Evil Spirit Wendigo slowly lowered its head, offering its loyalty and submitting to the man.

Chopper immediately knelt and confessed.

"I was wrong, please..."

Li Dan snapped his fingers, not wanting to waste another word on the little Black guy.

Before Chopper could even scream, the Evil Spirit Wendigo opened its bloody maw and bit down. Chopper was left with only half his body. Then, it bit down again, flung him into the air, and swallowed him whole, clothes and shoes included.

That's the good thing about Evil Spirit Wendigos; they have strong digestive abilities and aren't picky eaters.

In a small, two-story house near the villa.

Emma witnessed the entire process. She was indeed startled when the Evil Spirit Wendigo appeared.

But as she saw all three of them torn apart and swallowed, excitement inevitably flickered in her eyes.

This excitement reached its peak when the Evil Spirit Wendigo bowed its head in submission to Li Dan. This was the kind of person she wanted by her side.

If it were a normal little girl, she would have been terrified, crying, and run back to her parents.

But for Emma, a natural-born troublemaker.

Seeing the Evil Spirit Wendigo kill only made her curious and excited.

It was much more thrilling than watching a small animal and not helping.

And so.

The next morning.

Emma woke up early and rang Li Dan's doorbell.

When Li Dan opened the door and saw Emma, the little loli, he was still half-asleep and asked, a bit confused.

"Emma, what is it?"

"Can I come over to play, big brother?"

Emma flashed a sweet smile. She wanted to witness the scene of the monster feeding from last night.

The children here mature early. Emma was only a little over ten years old, but she looked like she was twelve or thirteen.

"No, I'm still sleepy. Come back at noon." Li Dan wasn't interested in the little loli right now; he just wanted to sleep in.

Emma was shut out.

But she wasn't discouraged.

Emma believed that one day she would see that big monster. She even thought that if she became someone by Li Dan's side, she could have the power to decide the life and death of others.

The passing of a life held immense appeal for her.

She even felt that staying by Li Dan's side would be worth sacrificing her father's life.

This thought was quite filial in a twisted way.

But this was a manifestation of antisocial personality disorder.

Deceitful behavior, aggressive tendencies, irresponsibility, lack of remorse.

Emma could be described as having all four symptoms.

But she was exceptionally intelligent, unlike a typical antisocial personality, and her facade was so convincing that no one had noticed it until now.

Halloween officially arrived.

On Halloween Eve, most people were out and about, but on the actual day, the vast majority chose to spend it with their families.

This brings us to the most commonly eaten food at gatherings here: "turkey."

In the past, I often saw movies depicting family reunions, with roast turkeys prepared for holidays, taken out of the oven looking golden and delicious, making your mouth water.

But in reality, roast turkey doesn't taste very good.

Li Dan had eaten it a few times and felt qualified to speak on the matter; he thought the meat was worse than simple boiled chicken.

Even with a lot of seasoning, it couldn't be saved.

As for why turkey is so popular in North America, he guessed it was either habit or lack of other options.

Jennifer went out at noon.

She heard she was going to separate from her parents and reclaim her parental rights.

Li Dan had even arranged for his butler and lawyer to accompany Jennifer to prevent any disputes or bullying.

She was his woman, after all. He could bully her, but no one else could, not even her parents.

This moved Jennifer so much that she said once Li Dan returned and completed his coming-of-age ceremony, she would have several babies for him.

Li Dan naturally refused. It was a joke; he was only eighteen, how could he have children? Plus, with all the immortal Evil Spirits, Demons, and the undead, having children might become a burden and a weakness in a sense.

Adoption would be a better choice.

Like Emma and Yurenka, raising them from a young age.

Li Dan was fully capable of this; he could easily handle even the first Deformed Person he had contained.

Children might not be necessary, but Li Dan was very willing to go through the process of raising them with Jennifer.

After Halloween.

Li Dan took a car to California, and also booked Professor Goodman's public lecture.

Although someone had uploaded Professor Goodman's lectures on the horror forum, online classes couldn't compare to the real thing, especially when you could ask questions.

He heard that this time they had also invited the famous Warrens from the church to answer certain questions.

Li Dan absolutely had to go see it, even if it was just for the sake of the seance.

Not to mention, there were many like-minded netizens from various states and countries on the horror forum who were reportedly planning to attend the lecture.

He saw many familiar faces among them.

Most of them were experts at courting disaster, and some were even traveling internationally to the University of California for research and exploration.
