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

Chapter 251 A blessing in disguise
The girl was stunned when she heard that.

"Why do you say that?"

“It doesn’t make sense.”

Su Fan spoke calmly.

"All the security measures you have put in place are based on the assumption that the perpetrator of the series of disappearances is a brown bear."

"But this is just speculation by the police."

"You said it yourself. Some of the victims still have bodies, while others don't."

"The weather in Washington State is cold, and now it's almost the end of December, so brown bears should be hibernating."

"Bears that come out to look for food at this time are so hungry that their eyes are shining, and they will eat anything."

"Bears are omnivores. Ants, honey, berries, and carrion are all on their menu."

"In the case of a shortage of supplies, shouldn't it take the corpse back to its own cave? Why leave it where it is?"

Hearing Su Fan's words, the girl shuddered all over.

It was a detail she had never thought about.

She subconsciously chose to believe the police's news, but ignored the inconsistency in it.

"If it's not a bear, then it could be..."

"I just provided a way of thinking. It doesn't mean that the police's previous thinking was completely wrong."

Su Fan once again gave the girl an answer that was unexpected.

“Maybe there really is a brown bear killing people… maybe someone is taking advantage of the situation to commit crimes… or maybe it’s a supernatural force at work?”

"Vampires...evil spirits...demons..."

"Or maybe all three."

"Anything is possible, isn't it?"

The girl felt somewhat relaxed after hearing Su Fan's subsequent explanation.

After hearing the word "supernatural power", she concluded that Su Fan was just brainstorming with her.

She doesn't believe in those supernatural things.

"Mr. Sufan, what you mean is that not going up the mountain with your friends tonight is actually a good thing?"

"Good and bad are relative and can change depending on the conditions. Have you heard the saying that misfortune may turn out to be a blessing in disguise?"

"I've heard of it. It's about an old man who always understands good and bad things in a different way than ordinary people."

The girl nodded, but couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

Why did Mr. Su Fan suddenly bring up this?
It was at this moment that the lights in the room suddenly began to flicker.

The same is true for the lights in the corridor outside.

Soon after, all the lights in the room where the two were, as well as the outside world, went out.

Suddenly, everything in sight fell into darkness.

The girl was speechless.

I didn't expect the facilities of this hotel to be so poor.

Originally, the power problem was only in her room, but now the same problem has occurred in other rooms and the corridor.

And it looks like the power supply to the entire floor has been cut off.

"I don't know when the maintenance personnel will arrive..."

The weather seems to be good tonight, and there is some moonlight shining in from the window, which prevents the room from becoming completely dark.

In the moonlight, the girl could vaguely see Su Fan still sitting on the chair opposite.

"Perhaps my bad luck has implicated you, Mr. Sufan."

Landline phones need power to work properly. Now the entire floor has no power, so even if the other party calls back, they won't be able to receive it.

Thinking of this, the girl stood up from her seat and walked towards the door.

"I'll go check out the situation outside."

If there is a real power outage, the emergency lights in the hallway should come on.

At this moment, she still held some hope in her heart.

Maybe, maybe it was just a power outage in the small area they were in? Thinking so, the girl approached the door, but the next second, a black shadow suddenly flashed from the door!
The other person quickly covered her mouth and raised his arms.

Caught off guard, the girl's heart skipped a beat.

In the black shadow's hand, something shining with light was about to fall towards her heart!

It's a knife!

Fear paralyzed the girl's body, making her unable to react or even make a sound.

At this moment, her mind was extremely clear and she immediately understood what was going on.

The so-called power outage was caused by the black shadow that suddenly appeared in front of him.

The purpose is to make them come out from the room to investigate the situation and then kill people!
But it was all too late.

Now she was to be killed by the sword.

But in the blink of an eye, a crisp sound spread throughout the corridor.

The black shadow felt his entire arm become paralyzed, and the weapon slipped out of his hand.

Looking at his right hand again, the base of his palm was cracked and blood was gushing out.

The next moment, a strong wind blew towards me!

The girl only felt the black shadow stiffen, and the hand covering her mouth loosened.

After she collapsed on the ground, she raised her head and saw the scene clearly with the help of the emergency lights in the corridor.

The black-haired young man who was supposed to be sitting in the room came here at some point.

He grabbed the neck of a figure in cleaning clothes with one hand, lifted him up, and then slammed him heavily to the ground!
After a dull thud that made one's teeth ache, the man who had been strangled by the young man fell to the ground and did not move.

This……

The girl sat on the ground in a daze.

She wanted to say something else, but suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.

At this moment, a cell phone rang.

The black-haired young man casually took it out from his pocket and answered it.

In the silent corridor, a voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Sir, there was a sudden power outage here due to unknown reasons, and we are unable to contact you. But please don't worry, our maintenance personnel have arrived."

"I see."

After saying this lightly, the young man hung up the phone.

He looked at the man in cleaning clothes lying on the ground, in a deep sleep.

This guy is the cleaning staff who just passed by the door.

It looked like nothing was wrong, but in fact, there was a human body stuffed in the cleaning cart.

Probably because the door was open and he and the girl might be witnesses, he turned back and killed the person to silence him.

However, he didn't expect that his every move was under Su Fan's surveillance.

With his spiritual awareness expanded, not only was it a small action like cutting off the power supply, but everything in the entire hotel was exposed.

The blow just now actually broke his spine, and he will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Su Fan came to the unconscious girl and checked her physical condition.

After confirming that he was just knocked unconscious by drugs, Su Fan couldn't help but sigh.

We agreed to go camping but got stood up, and as it was late at night, we had to find a hotel to stay.

It's generally annoying, but in reality there may be creatures in the mountains that are more terrifying than brown bears.

Whether it was a vampire or an unknown bat demon, they could easily take her life.

I stayed in a nice hotel, but happened to stay in a room with problematic facilities, so I could only knock on the door of the guest opposite to me to ask for help.

However, because of this, he was inadvertently included in the murderer's list of people to be silenced.

He should have been killed, but he happened to meet Su Fan.

"He is a very lucky man."
