Los Angeles, located in southwestern California, is the second largest city in the United States and is often referred to as the "City of Angels."

Bordered by the Pacific Ocean and backed by the rugged San Antonio Hills, the city sits in an open basin surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on the other.

In addition to the indigenous people, Mexican immigrants, black Africans, and Chinese descendants, as well as German, French, Spanish and other European people, often live in Los Angeles.

At this moment, on the Lawrence High School campus, students have just finished class.

Lawrence High School is located north of Los Angeles, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are also uninhabited forests in some places, and wild beasts roam in the valleys.

On the side of the road in the square on the east side of the campus, two young people were walking briskly towards the school gate.

"Amanda, will you go to my house tonight for the pre-graduation party?"

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old black boy said to a white girl in front of him, who was also fifteen or sixteen years old.

This white girl is 1.7 meters tall, with a slender figure, golden curly hair draped over her shoulders, skin as white as snow, long eyelashes, and blue eyes like the deep sea, this is definitely the best beauty among white people.

"Glover, I'd love to go, but I can't promise you right now."

"Uncle Bourne might be coming over for dinner with us tonight", Amanda continued with a wink of her long eyelashes, "but he often doesn't count when he talks".

The young man in front of him was called Glover, with a dark complexion, shining eyes, short hair on his head, and an exceptionally strong body.

Glover's expression was a little sad, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but be happy again: "Okay, I'll go to your house on time at 7 o'clock tonight to look for you, and if your Uncle Bourne doesn't come, I'll take you away."

Amanda nodded and said, "If Uncle Bourne doesn't come tonight, I'll definitely go."

"What are you talking about, Amanda?" a red-haired girl came running.

"It's Glover, he's going to have a pre-graduation party tonight." Amanda said.

Glover hurriedly said: "Ivana, I was about to invite you, but I haven't come yet, just so you came, are you free tonight"?

Ivana has a high nose, a little freckles on her face, delicate facial features, long red hair, and a ponytail on the back of her head, and the whole person looks very capable.

Ivana pursed her lips and said a little dissatisfied: "I'm very busy tonight, so let's talk about it then, I'll try to go."

"Alright then, I hope you guys can come, I'll pick you up at your house at 7pm, goodbye Amanda, goodbye Ivana". Glover happily beckoned to them and left.

He likes you, Amanda, I can tell. Ivana had an eerie smile on her face.

Huh, what are you kidding, we're all best friends, you know. Amanda replied with a smile.

Ivana leaned in and put her arms around Amanda's neck, she was about to graduate, Amanda, what is your plan? Where are you going to go to college? To be honest, I really can't bear you!

Amanda broke Ivana's wrist, looked into Ivana's eyes, and said solemnly: I was about to tell you something important, I may be leaving the United States and going to China to go to college.

Ivana opened her eyes wide and said in surprise: Isn't that going to the other side of the world?

Amanda said leisurely: You know, my father's company is exploring the Chinese market, and last year it was rumored that my father was transferred to the vice president of China, and now my father seems to have been decided.

Oh, Amanda, do you know how reluctant I am to let you go, you will be so far away from me?" Ivana said in a somewhat painful tone as she put her arms around Amanda's neck again.

Amanda quickly kissed Ivana on the forehead: It's not decided yet, dear. But even if it was true, I thought that I would stay in the United States with Uncle Bourne.

Amanda and Ivana have been neighbors since childhood, grew up together, and have a very strong relationship, and the two chatted all the way back to the door and then said goodbye to each other. Amanda's house is a typical American-style bungalow, the terrain is quiet, two floors, a grass in front of the door is planted with roses and azaleas, a birch tree is planted on the west side of the yard, and the grass is surrounded by a white wooden fence, which looks clean and tidy, and it is said that this was originally the residence of a noble gentleman in England.

Amanda opened the door, but found that the house was unusually messy, at this time heard the sound of a quarrel, Amanda went upstairs, found that her father was talking to Uncle Bourne, and when she saw Amanda coming back, Uncle Bourne said to Amanda with a serious face, Amanda, you must get out of here with me as soon as possible.

Huh? Why?

Uncle Bourne will tell you in detail on the way, I still have important things to explain to your uncle, we will meet at the airport, now go and pack your things, and leave tonight. Amanda's father urged in a hurried tone.

Although Amanda didn't know what was happening, she saw the anxiety on her father's face and hurriedly ran back to her bedroom.

Amanda closed the door, and two lines of tears flowed out, there is too much reluctance and nostalgia here, but Dad's words can't be disobeyed, what should I do?

Amanda threw herself on the bed and rolled over, her eyes staring at the ceiling, thinking about her thoughts, her mind numb.

The leaves of the birch trees outside the window rustled with the evening wind, what a wonderful night it should have been, but now Amanda's heart was full of sorrow.

Suddenly, a gust of wind rose, and then the screen window shook, and a silver-scaled python, the upper body stretched in from the window, the front half of the bowl mouth was thick, the fierce eyes gnawed at the face, and swallowed a red tongue. The python spotted Amanda on the bed and pounced.

Amanda was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about her thoughts. Suddenly, I felt a big white shadow sweeping past me, only two meters away from my head, and the fishy wind was strong and urgent. Just now, there was a loud bang from the horn, and a click sounded everywhere, and the person rolled under the bed.

That big python, to say the least, has a body three or four meters long and as thick as the mouth of the bowl. A head had been cut off by the neck, flew over the bed, and hit the door, and even a large piece of the patent leather on the door was knocked off. The rest of the python's body was wrapped tightly, and the legs of the bed were coiled several times, and the blood in the neck cavity seemed to gush out, and it was thrown with its body, like a torrential rain, shooting in all directions.

Amanda's father and Uncle Bourne heard the noise and ran over and opened the door, only to see Amanda standing beside the bed, one of her right arms emitting a blinding cold light.

What's wrong with me, Amanda raised her right arm in a cold light and was suddenly stupefied.

At this time, I heard a strong knock on the door from downstairs, and at the same time, there were many hurried and trivial footsteps downstairs. Quick, Uncle Bourne picked up a thin quilt on the bed and wrapped Amanda's glowing right arm tightly, Amanda's father hurriedly instructed Amanda, hurry, go through the back door with Bourne, he is my dearest brother, and he will definitely protect your safety. I'll deal with these people, and then Amanda's father, Nathan, rushed downstairs.

Before Amanda could react, Byrne said, it was too late, judging from the footsteps downstairs just now, this house must have been surrounded by them, and we couldn't escape.

At this time, there was a more violent slamming of the door downstairs, followed by a loud bang, the door was smashed open, and then there was a fierce fight, and soon the dense footsteps went up the stairs, getting closer and closer, Bourne picked up the vase by the door, stared at the door, intending to smash the first person to rush in.

Amanda, you hide first, I'll fight with them!

As soon as the words fell, several men in black had rushed into the door, and the vase in Bourne's hand smashed towards the leading man in black. Amanda was frightened by the scene in front of her, and hurriedly opened the closet to get in, but at this time, the closet door suddenly seemed to be as heavy as cast iron, Amanda grabbed the closet and pulled it with all her strength, and with a buzz, Amanda's right arm emitted a dazzling light again, and in an instant, the sheet wrapped in her right arm was torn apart by the light, and the closet creaked open, and a cloud of white light also erupted from inside.

Amanda didn't hesitate at this time, and with Byrne, she faced the dazzling white light and burrowed into the closet.
