Chapter 18: Jennifer's Hot Kiss and V/H/S
In the living room of the house.
Jennifer surveyed the luxurious decor, a hint of envy in her eyes. Although she was a beauty at Salem High School, she came from an ordinary, divorced family.
She worked hard to maintain her glamorous facade.
The moment she showed weakness or something happened, those fake friends and so-called besties would be the first to step forward and kick her while she was down.
Actually, there were rich guys among her suitors, but compared to Danny, they were completely insignificant.
Not to mention, his family even owned property overseas.
Of course, these were external factors. The main reason was that Danny himself was very attractive and capable. In the past, there were bullies who tried to cause trouble, but no matter how many people they brought, they usually ended up backing down.
If Jennifer were with Danny, those fake friends would only be envious, jealous, and bitter, instead of spreading rumors that she was being kept by some businessman.
With this thought, Jennifer's gaze toward Danny gradually intensified. She was truly starting to like him.
Jennifer sat on the sofa next to Danny and asked with concern.
"I heard something happened on your caving trip. Are you okay...?"
Danny leaned back on the sofa, holding a pillow, and looked at Jennifer. "Hold on, first tell me if you've encountered anything unusual recently?"
"Unusual things? Why are you suddenly asking that?" Jennifer said.
Danny didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "Because I suspect you've been targeted by a demon or an evil spirit."
Jennifer looked as if she were hearing a joke. She placed a hand on Danny's cheek and looked at him seriously.
"Babe, are you kidding? Or were you scared by what happened in the cave? Come on, demons and evil spirits aren't real. If you're scared, I'll stay with you, okay?"
"I'm not kidding." Danny knocked Jennifer's hand away, stern and serious. He asked a question, and this girl actually tried to comfort him instead. Her thought process was a bit off.
Jennifer said helplessly: "Alright, let me think... It seems there have been a few strange things. Sometimes I remember clearly locking the door, but when I woke up, the lock was suddenly open."
"Sometimes the TV would turn on by itself in the middle of the night, but these don't mean anything, do they? Although it's a bit weird."
Jennifer shrugged, still not thinking much of it. All these things could be explained as accidents—perhaps she just forgot to lock the door herself?
Upon hearing this, Danny opened the laptop on the coffee table and logged into a paranormal research website, searching for "precursors of demonic invasion."
These were conclusions drawn by a university professor who researched supernatural incidents, then posted on this site by horror enthusiasts.
This professor discussed certain abnormal phenomena.
These were commonly known as precursors to invasion by demons, entities, or spirits.
Environmental Anomalies: Objects in the house moving without cause, sudden temperature changes, abnormal switching of electronics, especially unexplained sounds or temperature changes when alone.
Physical Anomalies: Sudden unexplained bruises on the skin, abnormal body temperature, frequent illness, or strong aversion to certain smells.
Dream Anomalies: Such as frequent nightmares, terrifying scenes appearing in dreams, or even sleep paralysis phenomena.
Besides these three points, there were also mental and behavioral changes, such as becoming irritable, frequent insomnia, mental disorientation leading to self-doubt.
Or frequently talking to oneself, conversing with empty air.
Don't doubt it—the demon has already invaded to a certain stage. Please leave immediately and contact a demonologist.
A video was also included below.
A woman was cooking in the kitchen with her back turned, and a chair suddenly started rocking by itself.
After watching the video, Danny explained.
"This university professor is very well-known. His name is Dr. Goodman, and he specializes in demonology and even teaches classes."
He definitely knew about this professor, because this was the researcher who personally conducted experiments in the V/H/S series.
He'd heard of those found-footage horror films, but wasn't entirely clear on the specific plots.
He'd heard they were for researching demons, ghosts, and even alien encounters...
The reason Danny wasn't clear was that he'd only heard about them from friends. He honestly wouldn't dare watch those found-footage films alone, precisely because they were too realistic and terrifying, causing genuine physiological discomfort.
But now, he planned to find an opportunity to meet that professor.
Or rather, attend one of his public lectures. He'd heard you could even ask questions?
Jennifer didn't think that deeply. After all, it was broad daylight and Danny was there, so she naturally didn't believe it without seeing it firsthand.
"Babe, what does this video prove? Many movies are scarier than this. You can achieve the same effect with a transparent wire outside the frame. Please stop being so paranoid, okay?"
Damn, Danny really wanted to summon the alpha crawler to scare Jennifer, but on second thought, he decided against it. There was no need.
"Since you don't believe me, then we have nothing more to talk about."
"No, we still have a lot to talk about."
"Like what?"
Jennifer removed the pillow from Danny's chest, knelt on the sofa with one leg crossed over to the other side, looking down at Danny: "Like our relationship."
Danny was silent for a moment before saying.
"Take me to your house to check it out."
Based on what this girl just described, it already seemed to be a sign of suspected invasion, but judging by the demon's habit in Jennifer's Body of eating people after possession, it shouldn't be fully manifested yet.
Jennifer straddled Danny's lap, and her lips curved into a smile: "Of course, babe, but in exchange, shouldn't you give me a tour of your family's property?"
"Okay." Danny saw this as a transaction. The containment object was very important to him.
Jennifer, on the other hand, saw this as a sign that Danny was accepting her. Before Danny could react, her lips had already pressed against his.
Danny felt the softness from her lips, and he was momentarily stunned.
Mmm...
Although it was sudden, Danny was a guy, after all, so his hand very instinctively rested on Jennifer's slim waist and slowly slid down.
After a deep kiss,
Jennifer's eyes focused on the handsome face before her, and she asked in a soft voice: "How was it?"
Danny didn't understand: "How was what?"
Jennifer leaned down and breathed against Danny's ear.
"How did it feel?"
Danny didn't blush or show a racing heart and said: "Hmm, very good."
Jennifer was amused. She liked Danny's serious expression: "You clearly liked it a lot, so what's with that face, babe?"
Danny stopped talking. He wouldn't be manipulated by a woman.
Still pretending! Jennifer's face was flushed. She actually felt it too, but she hid it well.
Danny patted Jennifer, signaling her to get up.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, get up. Let's go check out your house first."
He was more interested in the demon possessing Jennifer now.
"The visit can wait. Let me enjoy this first." Jennifer was clearly enjoying herself. She slightly raised her head, wrapped her arms around Danny's neck, and began demanding more passionate kisses.
Although Jennifer had a certain reputation in Salem, Danny was indeed her first real relationship. Her goal had always been clear: find a strong, capable, and attractive guy.
In short, she admired competence. Everything else came second.
Few in school met her criteria.
Outside school, most were older guys who just wanted to use her.
Plus, that group of fake friends spread rumors every day.
How could someone as shrewd as Jennifer casually date anyone? Besides, she'd been eyeing Danny for a long time. Everyone in school was mesmerized by her, except for Danny, the transfer student, who kept his distance.
For Jennifer, conquering this guy also brought a sense of achievement.
Now that she had him, and he was the first guy she'd been intimate with, how could she not savor it?
