After arranging for her husband to lie down and rest, the obese woman left the bedroom and walked towards the stairs.Her heavy footsteps made the wooden floor creak.

She went to the attic first, and warned the "obnoxious" Louis through the door to stop messing around.The other party mocked her a few words in a polite tone, and then stopped talking.She went outside her son and daughter's room again, admonishing them not to offend their guests.After doing this, she took a deep breath and walked to the guest room.

"Dear Anna," she said from outside the door in a softer voice than ever before, "are you used to living in this room? We are really flattered that you have decided to stay the night. But our house is old and poorly furnished. I've got a nasty tenant, and I'm afraid you're going to be uncomfortable with it."

There was a rustling sound in the house.Soon, Anna opened the door.This young and beautiful woman has not changed her clothes yet, and she is still radiant. "Ma'am, you are too polite. I treat this place as my own home, how can I feel uncomfortable? Actually, I am no different from you, and I may become a part of this family in the future. If you don't treat me as I would be happier if I were treated not as a guest but as a relative."

The fat woman nodded appreciatively.In her opinion, the tone of Anna's speech was the same as that of most rich people in the north, with superior and disgusting arrogance; but the young girl's words themselves were very decent and did not disgust her.In fact, when she thought of Anna's family background and the political status of the other party's father, it was impossible for her to feel disgusted at all.

She went down to the first floor, intending to prepare for tomorrow's breakfast.But before that, an indescribable emotion drove her to do another thing first.She came to the door, touched and rubbed Anna's coat hanging here with her hands, her eyes were full of envy and nostalgia.

It was a coat of lynx fur, light gray fine down with brown spots.The inner layer is another kind of animal skin, which is hairless, soft and delicate.This coat uses three layers of fur in order to stack layers, which is probably expensive.

The dress reminded the woman of her former life at the manor.She wanted such coats back then, and all she had to do was order slaves to hunt, skin, and sew them.She had owned several of them and sold them when the estate was sold. "What a wonderful day! I don't have to do anything, and I can have everything I want!" She walked slowly to the kitchen, sighing softly.

Inwardly, she cursed the slaves who "ungratefully" escaped to join the Civil War, and she cursed Louis along the way.The northerners deprived them of the easy life they had as slave owners, but she had to let the northern soldier's son live in her home!

The corridor suddenly darkened, as if the chandelier behind him was flickering due to unstable power supply.She turned around to check, and found that the coat she had touched just now was no longer on the hanger.Now, it was hanging there, looking as if an invisible man was wearing it.

She rubbed her eyes.The coat was still hanging in the air.With trembling hands she turned the light off and on again.At this moment, the coat was back on the hanger, but the hair on the neckline kept shaking: an invisible hand hung it back on the hanger, and then straightened the collar; Hands stroked the neckline repeatedly, trying to eliminate the breath of others.

For a moment, her violent temper took over, and she wanted to swing the chair and rush there, knocking back and smashing the thing hidden in the air.But then, she noticed something strange on the floor.There was no one in the corridor except her, but there were black shadows belonging to other creatures on the floor not far in front of her.At first it was an oval mass, and gradually extended into black claws - she could make out the branch-like arms and frighteningly thin fingers.

She couldn't hear the eerie voices of men and women: "Don't touch other people's things."

Courage is all gone.She was frightened and opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came out.She ran away, the slippers were thrown into the air and she had no time to pick them up.It wasn't until she rushed into the kitchen and pushed the door shut that she breathed a sigh of relief.

Behind the kitchen door hangs a silver cross, and the recesses inside are filled with holy water.When the devil was at its most rampant in Missouri, Lewis hung the cross here.The other party believes that this door is the center of the house, and hanging here can act as a deterrent.John Sr. and she had argued with Louis about it and thrown him with a kitchen knife.It wasn't until Louis proposed to pay more rent that the couple acquiesced in the existence of the cross.

Now, the cross gave her great peace of mind.She thought it was her wisdom and generosity that saved her, and she was grateful for it.

She has never changed her habit of going to bed early and waking up late. When guests come, she prepares breakfast the night before.This time is no exception.She took a few off a bunch of garlic and started peeling the garlic.

When she was concentrating on the work at hand, she suddenly felt a chill hit the back of her neck.She shivered, and noticed that the spoons, egg beaters, and pans hanging by the wall were all shaken by the gust of wind, hitting the wall one after another.

"It's already December, who opened the window? Well, who else could have done that..." She complained and turned to the window, and then she was struck dumb by lightning.

Not only the windows were closed, but the wooden window panels outside were also locked.They do this every year in late autumn, closing the windows that are prone to air leakage early and tightly.So where does the wind come from?

She backed away in panic, touching the knife holder.She was cut on the outside of her little finger, and the pain caused her to jump up and then slip to the ground.When she struggled to lift her upper body and tried to stand up, she saw the wooden frame full of knives wobble, and finally fell to her side!

"No!" she yelled in horror.

The expected tragedy did not appear.A white and slender hand held the wooden frame and pushed it to a safe place.After finishing all this, Anna smiled condescendingly and said, "Madam, are you alright?"

"No, I'm fine! Thank you so much." She got up in shock, ashamed of making a fool of herself in front of her future daughter-in-law.

"Your hand is injured, please go and bandage it. I guess, you are preparing food for tomorrow. If you don't mind, can you let me join?" Anna thoughtfully did not go into details.

"Of course! My God, you are so kind! To be honest, I have never seen such a lovely girl as you!"

Anna smiled, and watched the fat woman run out of the kitchen until she confirmed that she could no longer see her.She bent down and used her fingers to collect the blood on the ground, then stuck out her long and thin tongue to lick the blood off her fingers.

"Why don't you get a bird from outside? The blood is warm and fresh, and clean."

Anna ignored the other party, still licking her fingers, her chameleon-like dexterous long tongue wrapped three times on her fingers.It wasn't until she got tired of the trick that she stared at Louis and said, "I prefer human blood."

Louis stared coldly at the woman in front of him.She was beautiful and regal, as always.But he knew what she was originally. "You came to my house to demonstrate? Or, are you also interested in human love?"

Anna walked over smiling. "Your brother is lovely, and his lips are as delicious as living blood. I want to have love with him, but after solving your business. My master wants you to come to us. But last time When I invited you, you completely ruined my invitation ceremony."

Louis raised an eyebrow.He didn't understand why the guy always wanted himself. "Why me? Greedy people want to make a pact with the devil to get what doesn't belong to them. Those people are easier to deal with than me."

Anna blinked playfully, like *. "If you come to our side, you will naturally know the answer."

I worked for him for several years in my previous life and didn't get an answer. "Such words can only deceive children." Louis thought for a while, raised his finger to point at the other person's face, and warned: "The reason why I haven't attacked you now is entirely because of Jason——I don't want to make him feel bad. I'll keep an eye on you if you do anything..."

He quickly withdrew his finger, and the words of warning were interrupted.Just now, Anna's face suddenly began to tear from the corners of her mouth to both sides, forming a big mouth that reached the ears on both sides.If Louis hadn't stopped quickly, his fingers would have been bitten off by the big mouth full of fangs.

Anna's skin turned pale, and a cruel yellow-green light radiated from her eyes.She opened her mouth of frightening length and smiled. "You let go."

***

Louis came back to his senses and realized that he was now in a small restaurant with a warm atmosphere, and what he was in front of was not a scary-looking demon, but a glass that was poured with red wine again. "No thanks. I'm a poor drinker."

"You should drink a little wine in winter, which will help you keep out the cold." Roland said with concern, "You seem to be worried. Can you tell me what's bothering you? Maybe I can help you."

"I..." Louis pondered for a moment, then stared at Roland's face, and said slowly: "I was exorcising demons outside, and the family I stayed in did something stupid to lure wolves into the house. What's more interesting is that there are demons Hopefully I can join his team."

Roland let out an "oh" in surprise. "You shouldn't worry about such a thing. I think, in this case, you will directly expel the demon."

"It should be. But she has a troublesome identity, and to make matters worse, my brother is in a relationship with her." Louis tapped his forehead. "I don't understand what a person in love thinks! What if he sees her true face and still loves her? What if he is driven crazy?"

Roland thought for a while, and seemed to make a serious suggestion: "If you want to know what the person in love thinks, we can start dating now. Personal experience is the fastest way."

Louis rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "You can't find anyone who is willing to marry you, so you settle for the next best thing? As far as I know, there are no gays in your family. If you just..."

Roland raised his hand, motioning for Louis not to say any more.After that, he smiled towards a position behind Louis.

Louis was at a loss, but quickly figured out what was going on.A pretty waitress came over and wiped her hands on her apron in a panic.She looked at Roland with a flushed face, and showed a shy smile: "There is no need to tip for today's lunch."

Roland raised his head and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Louis saw the girl turn redder, and turned away in chagrin.Although he didn't want to be a heartthrob, such a Roland really made him jealous!

"Do you understand now? There are many people who would fall in love with me, but I fell in love with you."

Louis sneered. "I only understand one thing: you're crushing my ego with your charisma."
