Xue Lin showed outwardly that she was relaxed but in reality, she was beyond terrified. She thought five years ago, this nightmare was over. She couldn't understand why this nightmare came back unexpectedly.

Five years ago, Xue Lin was in the second year of high school. She went to the school tour with her classmates and teachers. They went to the mountain area. She was the naughtiest girl in the class. With her two best friends, she sneaked out after lunch to explore the areas they were prohibited to go.

When elders say – don't go here or there, children should listen to them. However, sometimes, it's better to disobey the elders.

Xue Lin didn't listen, neither did her friends. They went out and found out something shocking. The village they were in was a devil's village. The whole village was marked in a huge pentagon and the villagers were Satanists.

Satanists are a group of people who worships Satan. Satanism is a group of ideological and philosophical beliefs based on Satan. The contemporary religious practice of Satanism began with the founding of the Church of Satan in 1966.

During the Middle Ages, the Inquisition attached to the Catholic Church alleged that various heretical Christian sects and groups, such as the Knights Templars and the Cathars, performed secret Satanic rituals. The idea of a vast Satanic conspiracy reached new heights with the influential Taxil hoax of France in the 1890s, which claimed that Freemasonry worshiped Satan, Lucifer, and Baphomet in their rituals.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the Satanic ritual abuse hysteria spread through the United States and the United Kingdom, amid fears that groups of Satanists were regularly sexually abusing and murdering children in their rites. In most of these cases, there is no corroborating evidence that any of those accused of Satanism were actually practitioners of a Satanic religion or guilty of the allegations leveled at them.

Satanist groups that appeared after the 1960s are widely diverse, but two major trends are theistic Satanism and atheistic Satanism. Theistic Satanists venerate Satan as a supernatural deity, viewing him not as omnipotent but rather as a patriarch. In contrast, atheistic Satanists regard Satan as merely a symbol of certain human traits.

The villagers were Theistic Satanists and Xue Lin and her friends learned that they were planning to herd the students and the teachers. They were in a place where they couldn't get a cell phone network. So,

cell phones were completely useless. They wished they could take at least walkie-talkie but who knew they would face such a danger?

Xue Lin told her female friend to take a secret path to go to the nearest police station while she and the male friend quickly went back to their tents only to find that the villagers already knocked them off with some kind of homemade sleeping pills. From the villagers' conversation, they realized that the villagers were going to have a huge ritual and their classmates and teachers would become sacrifices for some kind of devil worshiping ritual.

Xue Lin realized that they were too late. Even if her other friend had called the police, before they arrived, all of their classmates and teachers would already become sacrificial objects. So they took the matter in their hands.

It was getting darker. Xue Lin sneaked into the medical room and used those villagers' own sleeping medicines to make them fall asleep. There were only twenty people in the village. After they fell asleep, Xue Lin and her male friend took them in an empty room and locked them. When they were done, it was already the middle of the night.

Xue Lin went to the ritual stage and found her classmates and teachers were inside a huge pentagon and fires were burning around them. There were two men in black clothes reciting some weird words.

Xue Lin shuddered when she saw a fire figure moving. To stop them, she kicked the old man on the fire and fought with the young man. While they were fighting, the old man's whole body was burning and in pain and despair, he ran to the village and went inside the next room of the house where the sleeping villagers were.

Xue Lin's male friend was guarding the house so that after the villagers woke up, he could take care of them. But seeing the old man enter, he locked the room and moved away. While the old man burnt, the house along with another twelve unconscious villagers burnt to death.

Xue Lin's male friend came to help Xue Lin. Xue Lin told him not to interfere and save their classmates and teachers. The boy threw a fire stick at her which she caught and used it to burn half of the young devil worshiper's face.

The fire rose and became a huge bonfire. It lightened up the whole forest.

It became almost dawn when Xue Lin's female friend came with the police. The police were able to arrest only one villager and that was the young man. Others were burnt to death. After lots of interrogation and investigation, the case was closed. The Police Chief and the Mayor of B City awarded Xue Lin and her two friends for their bravery.

However, everything was kept secret from others, and their classmates and teachers who were victims weren't told the main story since they had no consciousness. Xue Lin and her friends kept it a secret for the rest of the world.

That young man who was arrested was sentenced twenty years of prison life. Before he left, he wanted to talk to Xue Lin. When she went to meet him, he cursed her and her friends in the name of Satan.

Until that incident, Xue Lin would never have believed in that curse. However, after seeing the fire figure rising from the fire, she couldn't take that curse out of her mind. Later, things got peaceful and she almost forgot about it. She was able to forget everything related to that incident after going to Paris.

However, the nightmare materialized into reality right before her eyes. There was no mistake. The guy in black clothes was none other than that young Satanist.
