Chapter 76 I'll Take Your Dog's Life
Reading Settings
Another drawback of amulet coins is that they cannot be used indefinitely.
Once the protective power above, that is, the accumulated power of prayers and blessings over the years, is exhausted, it will just be an ordinary item.
Of course, such amulet coins also have other uses, which will not be mentioned here.
The next day, Cao Kun drove his Dodge Challenger to a gas station more than 20 kilometers away to refuel.
The 8-cylinder engine is great, with plenty of horsepower, but its fuel consumption is also exceptionally high.
Every few days, I have to keep going.
This made Cao Kun realize that buying this car was a bit of a miscalculation.
It wasn't that Cao Kun wanted to travel this far to refuel; it was just that the nearest gas station was this far away.
Upon arriving at the gas station, Cao Kun pulled out the fuel nozzle and poured the fuel in.
While refueling, a Mercedes SUV drove up and stopped next to Cao Kun.
The car window rolled down, revealing a blond, white man covered in tattoos, along with three other men in the car.
They were all young, only in their early twenties, and each of them had very prominent tattoos.
The blond young man driving the car wore a gold chain around his neck and swayed his body to the music playing in the car.
He whistled at Cao Kun: "Wow, man, that's a great car."
Cao Kun could tell at a glance that these were probably members of several gangs.
He killed quite a few guys like that recently.
Cao Kun rolled up the car window, hoping to avoid seeing it.
To his surprise, several guys got out of their car and started circling around it.
After driving around a few times, one of them went to refuel, and the blond young man came over and knocked on Cao Kun's car window.
Cao Kun impatiently pressed down on the glass, staring at the man with displeasure, his eyes telling him to get lost.
I don't know if this person is slow to react and can't understand, or if they simply don't care.
He lit the cigarette in his mouth, leaned over to look at the car's dashboard, and his expression became even more exaggerated.
He said, "Dude, it's rare to see a Challenger this well-maintained and so new. Where did you buy it?"
Cao Kun glanced at the cigarette in the man's mouth: "This is a gas station, smoking is prohibited."
The blond young man shrugged: "Hey buddy, are you selling this car? How about I trade you my car?"
"No change." Cao Kun coldly refused, opened the door, got out of the car, inserted the fuel nozzle back in, and closed his fuel tank cap.
When Cao Kun went inside to pay the bill, he saw those guys still circling around his car.
Cao Kun had decided that if any of these men dared to touch his car, they would be dead.
As a result, those people just stood around watching and discussing amongst themselves, without showing any intention of actually doing anything.
After paying the bill, the car sped away amidst the gazes of several people and the roar of its eight-cylinder engine.
As Cao Kun left the gas station, he suddenly felt that the scene was somewhat familiar.
After thinking for a moment, he realized where the sense of familiarity came from.
In the movie "John Wick," the protagonist, John Wick, encountered a similar situation.
This film series is very famous and is also known as "Take Your Dog's Life".
It's Keanu Reeves' comeback film.
Keanu Reeves plays John Wick, who is driving a retro muscle car to a gas station when he encounters several gang members.
The man wanted to buy his car, but he refused to sell it.
That very night, those thugs broke into John Wick's house, not only injuring him but also killing the dog his deceased wife had left him and stealing his car.
Enraged, John Wick went berserk and returned to his life as a hitman.
He went on a killing spree, not only killing the petty thugs, but also taking down their father, a gang leader.
The film became a huge hit after its release, giving Keanu Reeves' acting career a renewed boost.
This has even spawned a meme online: Never mess with Keanu Reeves' dog.
"Could it be that now it's not just horror movies that are becoming reality, but crime action movies too?"
"No way?"
Cao Kun looked bewildered, not quite sure.
After all, this movie was only released in 2014, and it's impossible to know whether there will be any sequels.
"It shouldn't be that bad. Apart from horror movies, all other movies in this world are based on the trajectory of another world."
"It's most likely just a coincidence."
"After all, given the arrogance of gang members, it's not surprising that something like this happens."
As Cao Kun was pondering, his phone suddenly rang.
When I picked it up, I saw that it was Charlize Theron calling again.
Upon answering the phone, Chariz-Theron said anxiously, "Something terrible has happened, Master Cao Kun, something's wrong."
Upon hearing this, Cao Kun immediately thought of many things: "What's wrong?"
Charlize Theron: "It's hard to explain over the phone, Master Cao Kun. Could we meet in person?"
Cao Kun is free right now: "Want to come to your house?"
Charlize Theron: "I'm not there. That house is already listed for sale."
I'm currently staying at the Hilton Hotel, room number is..."
After hanging up the phone, Cao Kun looked strange.
"Booking a room for me, could it be that they're planning to..." Cao Kun muttered to himself.
When Cao Kun arrived at the hotel, he realized he had been overthinking things.
Upon meeting, Chariz-Theron said, "Master Cao Kun, I have a strange pattern on my body."
Hearing that it wasn't someone who wanted to sleep with him, Cao Kun breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little regretful: "What pattern? Let me see."
Charlize Theron immediately began to take off her clothes.
Soon, she was left with only her underwear.
She turned around, facing away from Cao Kun.
Cao Kun immediately noticed that there was indeed a strange pattern on Chariz Theron's back.
He was very familiar with this pattern.
The overall pattern is blood red, resembling a cursive form of the letter "x," but the intersecting points are connected very high.
At the same time, an extra stroke was added to the lower half, making it look somewhat like an abstract painting of a child urinating.
Upon seeing this pattern, Cao Kun's face darkened.
This symbol appeared in the movie "Annabelle" and is said to be the symbol of the Ram Church.
After Annabelle targeted the female protagonist, this pattern appeared on her arm.
However, the pattern later disappeared on its own.
Cao Kun never expected that after this horror movie became a reality, this pattern would also appear.
Moreover, it hasn't disappeared even now.
What does this tell us?
"Master Cao Kun, did you see that?"
Seeing that Cao Kun remained silent for a long time, Chariz Theron asked.
Cao Kun: "I saw it."
Charlize Theron got dressed again and invited Cao Kun to sit down in the reception area.
She seemed a little uneasy: "I suddenly discovered today that I have this pattern on my back. It looks very strange and I'm very scared."
Master Cao Kun, what is this? Is it because of that evil spirit from last time?
Charlize Theron is smart; she easily guessed the truth.
“That’s right.” Cao Kun nodded and said, “It’s that thing.”
As far as I know, this pattern will appear on your body after you are targeted by that evil spirit.
However, with the death of that evil spirit, the pattern should have disappeared.
I don't know why, but this pattern is still on you.
