I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 137 Does the sacrifice have to be a man and a woman?

Su Fan did not continue speaking, but the meaning of his laughter was self-evident.

"That's troublesome."

Dean looked up in the car.

He had no mercy on ghosts and would kill them whenever he could.

But if the enemy is a bewitched human being, one feels constrained.

"Let's go to the town first and take a look."

Driving into the town, Dean found a place where he could print documents and printed out the missing person notice.

Su Fan and Sam were just about to get out of the car to get some fresh air when they saw a girl with a backpack walking towards them not far away.

"Excuse me, which direction does the station go?"

The woman with short blond hair asked the question. She looked full of personality and energy.

“I don’t know. We are not from here.”

Sam said there was nothing he could do.

"Well, it looks like we'll have to stay in this town tonight."

The blonde woman looked helpless.

They were free anyway, and the short-haired girl was eager to chat, so the two of them started talking after a few exchanges.

During the conversation, Sam learned the basic information of the short-haired girl.

Her name is Meg and she is a backpacker who loves to travel.

She couldn't bear her parents' strong desire for control and unreasonable attitude, so she decided to go on a spontaneous trip.

Meg's family situation quickly resonated with Sam.

Invisibly, the distance between the two people narrowed a little bit.

"So, what are you doing here? Did your car break down?"

Meg stroked the hood of the car with an admiring look.

“It’s very well maintained.”

"You guessed wrong. The car is not mine and it is not broken. We are just waiting for someone here."

"Your brother?"

"Yes."

While the two were talking, Meg's eyes inadvertently fell on Su Fan, who was looking into the distance in silence.

"Is that your friend? He looks a little cold."

"That's his personality, don't worry about it."

Hearing this, Meg's face showed curiosity. She walked up to Su Fan and smiled.

"Hey, my name is Meg, can I meet you?"

Su Fan then withdrew his gaze from the distance. After staring at Meg with his pair of black eyes for two seconds, an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Su Fan."

…………

When Dean finished copying the documents and walked out, he just saw Meg's leaving.

"It seems that someone had a wonderful encounter during the short time I was away."

"Let me guess, Sue or Sam?"

Dean had a smile on his lips that all men understand. After looking around, his eyes locked on Sam, who looked a little unnatural.

"She was just a backpacker who came to ask for directions."

Sam began to explain.

"You can ask Sue."

Dean turned to Su Fan, and saw that the latter nodded.

"Yeah, a poor backpacker possessed by a demon."

demon!

The Wen brothers, who caught the key words, immediately changed their expressions, and the previous playful atmosphere disappeared.

Dean looked carefully at Su Fan's expression. The latter had a calm face and did not look like he was joking.

"How did you find out? Her eyes turned completely black?"

"No, but I noticed it anyway."

What Su Fan said gave people a sense of arbitrariness, "If I think so, then so is it."

But the Wen brothers had no doubts at all.

After the two of them pondered for a while, Dean finally stood up first.

"I'll go see if there's any holy water in the car."

"I'll go find a Bible."

The two brothers sprang into action.

Seeing them getting busy, Su Fan also stood up and picked up the two missing person notices printed by Dean.

"I'll go take a look inside the town. You guys get ready first."

"Wait a moment."

Dean, who was looking for something in the trunk, called out to Su Fan, then took out a revolver and a pack of ammunition from the trunk and handed them to him.

"This bag contains half salt block ammunition and half live ammunition."

"I know you can fight, but there's nothing wrong with carrying a gun."

"We'll wait for you to come back."

Dean patted Su Fan's shoulder gently.

Su Fan took the pistol and ammunition, and then took out two talismans from his arms.

"These two are amulets that can prevent you from being possessed by demons."

"That woman could come back at any time, so wearing it is an extra layer of protection."

"Do you want to count the money?"

Dean took a look and asked subconsciously.

He and his brother were not really wealthy.

He also knew about this thing. Five thousand dollars a ticket was almost equivalent to the expenses of two people for half a month.

"This is for you, no charge."

Su Fan was left speechless by what Dean did to him.

After briefly explaining a few precautions regarding the talismans, he walked alone along the road towards the interior.

Seeing that there was no one around and no surveillance, Su Fan simply started running.

With one step, Su Fan's figure seemed to teleport, and in the blink of an eye, he was dozens of meters away.

A distance of one hundred meters is just two steps.

While running, Su Fan also used wind control to reduce air resistance.

It takes its already swift pace to a higher level!
If someone looked down from above, they would be able to see a figure running on the road at a speed that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

In just less than five minutes, Su Fan arrived at the edge of the town without blushing or panting.

He looked like an ordinary person and did not attract any attention. He blended in here easily.

Along the way, Su Fan would occasionally take out a missing person notice and ask residents if they had seen the person listed above.

The answers I got were all: I don’t know, I haven’t seen it, or I forgot.

Two young men, an old man, two children...

The answers we got were surprisingly consistent.

Su Fan could naturally tell whether someone was lying or not.

The situation seemed to be a little better than he thought, and not everyone was aware of it. "If you want to know about these two people, I still have a little impression of them."

A young girl next to Su Fan took the initiative to talk to him.

"These two guests came here around this time last year, but then disappeared."

"Their car is still at my uncle's car wash."

"Are you local?"

Su Fan looked her up and down.

"No, I just came to this place a year and a half ago. My parents died of illness, so I came here to live with my uncle and aunt."

"The towns around here are in economic depression and can't even support people. Only this place seems to be blessed by something and has a good harvest every year."

The young girl sighed.

Su Fan nodded slightly, seemingly staring intently, but in fact his spiritual sense was monitoring every move of the people around him.

The old man in the house and the young man passing by on the street seemed to be busy with their own things, but their eyes would turn towards Su Fan from time to time.

"Emily!"

A voice was heard from inside the house.

"I'm here!"

After hearing the call, the girl quickly responded and immediately showed an apologetic smile.

"Sorry, I have to go help out in the store."

"It's okay, go do your thing."

There was not much point in continuing to ask, so Su Fan simply found a restaurant and prepared to sit down for a while.

Just at this moment, a couple came over, talking and laughing. From the way they looked around, it was obvious that they were not locals.

“Hey, you on a road trip too?”

The women in the couple greeted each other warmly.

"Barely."

Su Fan glanced at the two of them and then spoke.

"It's been a bit uneasy here lately. If possible, try to leave before dark."

The smiles on their faces froze as they stared at each other.

"Don't think I'm trying to scare you."

"A couple mysteriously disappeared on the road that passes through the town around this time last year..."

Before Su Fan could finish his words, there was a noise at the door.

"Hello, can we go out and talk?"

The man in police uniform walked up to Su Fan and gestured outside.

He looked down at the Asian youth below, watching him stand up from his seat and walk out of the store.

The store manager not far away saw this scene, gave a malicious smile, and turned back to the cashier counter.

However, after the police left, the couple at the next table suddenly spoke up.

"Can you tell us more about it?"

In their eyes, the police just came in and stood there for a moment before leaving on their own initiative.

Nothing was unusual.

Beside the two of them, Su Fan sat in the same place, not moving at all.
-
The sky gradually became gloomy, the dull and humid air and the occasional thunder heralded the arrival of heavy rain.

Soon, big drops of rain fell from the sky.

Black umbrellas gathered in the heavy rain.

If there were ordinary residents here, they would definitely recognize them as the "big shots" who are well-known in the town.

"The offering is gone."

The store manager spoke first with a gloomy expression.

"I have already expelled that person from the town..."

The policeman who appeared in the store during the day said in annoyance.

"What should we do now? It's already the seventh day. There's no time to find a new sacrifice."

"The trees in the orchard have begun to wither, and His wrath is about to sweep across the town..."

The white-haired old lady's face was full of panic.

"In that case, we can only let that young Asian man come here to serve as a sacrifice."

"He deserves it."

A hint of ruthlessness appeared on the policeman's face.

"Really want to do that? This is outright murder."

The old man next to the old lady was the one who monitored the conversation between Emily and Su Fan during the day.

"What else? As a member of the town, we have the obligation to protect the town."

The person who made the final decision was an old man wearing glasses.

He is the director of the town library.

It was also he who initiated the sacrificial ceremony.

"As for the woman to be used for the sacrifice, use your niece. If she hadn't been so talkative, there wouldn't have been so much trouble."

The old man and the old woman both sighed but said nothing.

"If you have no objection, then act now and capture them!"

The librarian's voice was full of indifference and unquestionable.
-
"Sam and I looked through some related books and finally found some clues based on the bloodlines of the residents in this town."

Dean's voice came from the phone.

"They are not worshipping some evil god, but the 'Wanne' god among the Nordic gods."

"It can bless the land and ensure a good harvest no matter what the circumstances."

“Just erect a statue of it inside the plantation.”

"Just provide one man and one woman as human sacrifice every year."

Dean paused here.

"The couples or lovers who disappeared before were probably sacrificed to the God Wan Ne."

"If you want to defeat it, you must burn the sacred tree that is its power."

"I understand. I'll take care of this God thing. After I'm done, I'll join you guys."

After hanging up the phone, Dean suddenly frowned.

He seemed to hear some strange noises on the other end of the phone.

It must be just his illusion, right?
But before Dean could think carefully, he heard the voice of his younger brother Sam.

"He came up and splashed water on the other person's face without saying anything... He is very polite."

Hearing this, Dean gave a nasty smile.

"If it's really not the case, just say that Su asked you to do it. Anyway, there's no substantial loss, she will forgive you."

"..."

the other side.

After Su Fan hung up the phone, he looked out the window.

The heavy rain outside came and went quickly, and did not affect travel at all.

He walked to the door and looked at the town police and the store manager on the ground leisurely.

The two men knelt on the ground, raised their hands, and sweat poured down their cheeks.

There were shotguns and daggers not far away from them, but they didn't even dare to look at them!
Because behind them, the pale-faced priestess with her eyes blindfolded in black cloth had her sharp claws against the backs of the two men, ready to pierce their hearts at any time.

"Does the sacrifice have to be a man and a woman? Why don't you try with two men?"
