"Honey, look at her!"
Jennifer was furious, almost to death, pointing at Emma who had already scurried up to the second floor.
Li Dan had just opened his computer and couldn't help but laugh when Jennifer came to complain again. "What are you arguing with a child for? Even if you make her understand that you're my girlfriend, what's the point?"
Jennifer paused, it seemed like that made sense!
Why should she bother with this brat? Wasn't it comfortable lying in baby's arms?
After thinking it through.
Jennifer stopped chasing. She took off her shoes, revealing her fair, round feet, and casually threw herself into Li Dan's arms, shaking her body and burrowing in.
Li Dan's hands were originally on the keyboard. Jennifer poked her head through the small gap under his arm and slowly squeezed in. Then she sat on his lap, facing him directly.
Li Dan felt the soft pressure against him from Jennifer's front and knew she was craving attention. But who was he?
"Wait a moment, let me check this first."
"Okay, hurry up, baby~"
Jennifer lay lazily on Li Dan, resting her head on his shoulder, ignoring Emma's calls from upstairs. She would only reply if something piqued her interest.
This infuriated Emma. She didn't expect this woman to have gotten smarter.
And to brazenly occupy her spot.
That's right, in Emma's eyes, it was her spot. What if you said she was the real girlfriend?
Please, she just hadn't grown up yet, otherwise, where would this woman be?
You say Emma is wrong?
Emma's personality was already antisocial, how could she possibly think she was wrong?
And so, a dramatic scene unfolded.
Li Dan was in the living room downstairs, on the sofa, holding his older girlfriend Jennifer, looking at posts on a horror website, while Emma was on the second floor, provoking them relentlessly.
Jennifer ignored her, simply taking a deep breath of Li Dan in front of Emma.
Judging by her infatuated expression, this move was an epic, lung-deep indulgence.
This dealt a higher critical blow than a hundred insults directed at Emma.
Li Dan browsed the posts aimlessly.
Suddenly, he saw a post from a housewife, which was strange. Why would a housewife visit a horror website?
Driven by curiosity, he clicked on it.
It was about a woman who married a man she didn't like simply because he said he liked and needed her, as she had no sense of presence.
Her married life was, at first, happy and peaceful.
Until one day.
Her husband went for a medical check-up and was diagnosed with oligospermia. This caused the husband to fly into a rage when he returned home, ransacking the place. In the process, he accidentally discovered his wife's diary.
It recorded the wife's secret crush on another man.
Then began an endless cycle of domestic violence against his wife and son...
Up to this point, it was all normal, just a family issue.
Li Dan was about to scroll away when he happened to glance at the poster's name: Kayako. His heart skipped a beat.
Isn't this The Grudge from next door?
Wait, wasn't there also a Grudge in the American version?
He couldn't tell, but it was possible.
This website recorded paranormal and horror events encountered by most people worldwide, regardless of nationality.
It was just that the level of this ghost was terrifying.
He even suspected that with Kayako's monstrous nature, she might crawl through the internet to reach him.
No, no, no, perhaps Li Dan was overthinking.
Could it be a case of people with the same name... What nonsense! With this experience, it's 100% her!
He just didn't know which stage it was from.
He glanced at the comments under the post, a bunch of "black ghosts" were making lewd jokes.
He was scared, truly scared.
Li Dan immediately exited the post, even deleting his browsing history. The most important thing now was to look at some posts about Deformed Persons killing people to calm his nerves.
Compared to Kayako, any Deformed Person or serial killer was like a sweet, soft little cake.
He continued browsing.
After a cursory glance at over a dozen posts, Li Dan finally stopped at one again.
The post was made by a young woman. Judging by her profile picture, she had blonde hair that wasn't particularly beautiful but was pleasant to look at.
She called herself Rebecca and recounted her experiences after leaving home many years ago.
There was a lot of nonsense in the post, so Li Dan skipped it and read on.
Rebecca explained that the reason she left home for many years was due to a terrifying nightmare.
Even after returning home years later, she couldn't shake the lingering childhood trauma. This terrifying nightmare only appeared when she turned the lights on and off.
She hadn't wanted to bring it up again. The reason she was posting now was that her younger brother, Martin, was experiencing the same thing.
She hoped to get help.
Li Dan looked at the post, lost in thought. Wasn't this just about turning off the lights?
It was quite famous back then. He remembered that in a certain forum, there were many ghost pictures posted after turning off the lights, and every post would be cursed by netizens.
This evil spirit initially seemed to only appear after the lights were turned off.
Li Dan felt he could try, so he called himself an Exorcist in the comments.
The reason he called himself that was mainly because there were too many scammers on this website.
He could get certified, but after certification, his private messages would likely explode. If he didn't help, a bunch of people would jump out to accuse him and engage in moral blackmail.
It was better not to get certified.
Li Dan was no different from the usual scammers; he directly left a comment on the post.
"I am an Exorcist from the church, and I can help you."
This post had very few comments. The main reasons were the lack of photos, no videos, and a bunch of trivial matters mixed in. It was already good that people were commenting at all.
About ten minutes later.
A small red dot appeared in Li Dan's backend.
It was a private message from Rebecca.
"Excuse me, are you really an Exorcist?"
Li Dan couldn't help but smile at the question. It was like asking a scammer, "Are you a scammer?"
He replied, "I am."
Rebecca: "Can you help my brother? What do you need if I want to ask for your help?"
She didn't seem completely foolish, at least she knew there was a price to pay.
As for what price, Li Dan lacked neither women nor money, so he replied:
"This evil spirit is the reward. If you want to replace it with something else, that's fine too."
Rebecca, at the other end of the chat, was astonished.
She had posted online for help on a whim, never expecting anyone to actually reply.
She had thought it might cost a lot of money or something else, but she never imagined it would be the evil spirit. Just reading this made her imagine the person on the other end must be a powerful Exorcist.
She quickly typed a response.
"Sir, if you want to take the evil spirit away, I have no objections. She seems to be getting closer to us. Could you please provide your contact information?"
"Certainly."
After inputting his contact information, Li Dan confirmed her location and found it was only about a state away.
He planned to set off tomorrow, as it was already a bit late today.
Li Dan informed the two people who were still arguing about this news.
Jennifer didn't want Li Dan to leave, but she also didn't want to go with him. For this American girl, an evil spirit was too terrifying.
Emma, on the other hand, was eager to try, but Li Dan definitely couldn't take her with him.
This was a solo mission.
Jennifer watched as Li Dan finished his work. Did that mean it was time for some intimacy?
