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

Chapter 292: The Storable Spiritual Power Talisman, the Reporter with a Mental Breakdown

“Whose perspective?”

"My own. Generally, unless there is a specific situation, what I see is my own."

"Speak slowly."

Su Fan's face was less carefree and more serious.

As Alice described the situation, she occasionally looked thoughtful.

"Su, if you really want to go, I hope you can be prepared."

Alice's tone became a little more serious.

In her hundreds of years of life, she had never seen a demon with her own eyes.

But in the previous foreseeable scene, Alice finally got a glimpse of its true appearance.

Seeing strange creatures that shouldn't exist in this world, even vampires will uncontrollably feel fear in their hearts.

"It's not that stressful."

Su Fan saw Alice looking ready for battle and smiled a little.

"Demons are not difficult to deal with. I have experience."

Alice was a little bit incredulous when she heard this.

"Have you fought against them?"

"Well, it is."

Su Fan nodded slightly, but was thinking in his heart how to deal with this incident.

If I count the demons I have dealt with, none of them are easy to deal with.

Lashe can manipulate the elements and possesses many abilities such as telekinesis and instant movement. At the same time, he has a certain immunity to decent spells, so much so that even the Five Thunder Talisman cannot kill him in one blow.

Malthus himself has come to the world. He is strong in physical combat, good at deceiving people and creating chaos. He is insidious and cunning.

If Su Fan had not launched a series of fierce attacks without giving the former any breathing time, the former would most likely have instigated a riot among the humans in the studio, with disastrous consequences.

Not to mention Bai Meng, who possessed a human body and forced him to use all his magical powers without even making a main attack.

If this Lord of Hell, one of the four supreme pillars, could put aside his arrogance and attack with all his strength from the beginning, Su Fan believed that he would not be able to escape unscathed.

Of course, that disgraceful demon of Collingwood cannot be counted.

Judging from Alice's description, the demon that will cause trouble in this show seems to be quite powerful.

If we can expel it from the container before the situation becomes serious, everyone will be happy. If we can't...

Su Fan's eyelids drooped slightly, but then quickly returned to his usual state.

He wants to save the lives of innocent people and kill the devil.

Su Fan never regarded himself as an omnipotent god, and was mentally prepared to sacrifice others in the process.

Do your best, listen to destiny.

Knowing that he would have to fight the devil next, Su Fan temporarily stopped drawing the formation.

He raised his hand and light-colored threads of spiritual power formed in the air.

Seeing this scene, Alice immediately became alert, took a fighting stance, and crouched down like a cheetah ready to attack.

"An enemy is coming?!"

Su Fan was startled by Alice's sudden action, and the spiritual power thread condensed in his hand trembled.

"What's wrong with you?"

Alice sensed the hint of anger in Su Fan's tone and was stunned for a moment.

"Aren't you going to draw a talisman using that lightning..."

Su Fan sighed.

"I'm just trying to prepare the talisman."

"preparation?"

Alice straightened up.

"According to what you said, Night Owl is a talk show with the cooperation of the audience. If anything happens, we will take the initiative."

The spiritual power threads were formed in the air at a very slow speed.

"Didn't you say that talismans are usually made of paper?"

"Be prepared for both situations. I'll also make the paper version later."

After Su Fan finished answering, he continued to work on it with full concentration.

The exploration of Tongtian Lu is still ongoing.

After returning from Fox Town last time, Su Fan has been thinking.

As a superior version of the Complete Collection of Talismans, the Tongtian Talisman should not have the limitation of being unable to be preserved.

Maybe he just hasn't discovered this use.

Just try it today.

On one side, the spiritual light in the air was reflected in Alice's amber pupils.

The flexible silk threads were woven into runes containing mysterious power and fell into Su Fan's hands.

Su Fan looked at the magical talisman and a smile appeared on his face.

It became.

The talismans made from the Tongtian Talisman can indeed last for a long time.

She had never seen such a magical scene before, and couldn't help but come closer and carefully look at the runes floating in Su Fan's hand.

"This is pure energy, it has no substance."

Alice's hand passed over the rune, and apart from feeling a slight difference in temperature, she didn't feel any substantial touch.

Su Fan looked at the talisman and started trying again.

This shape is a bit too ostentatious and needs to be scaled down and made darker.

Under the guidance of Su Fan's mind, the talisman in his hand gradually shrank, the light dimmed, and then disappeared into the palm of his hand.

Ordinary people can't see any problems at all.

The concealment is also quite good.

He is now more and more satisfied with the skill of Tongtian Lu.

Su Fan raised his hand again and continued to draw the next talisman.

The immobilizing talisman, the ghost-wandering talisman, the sleeping talisman, the calming talisman, the evil-suppressing talisman, the five-thunder talisman...

As Su Fan repeatedly made talismans and collected them, prompts about his proficiency in the Tongtian Talisman emerged in his mind as usual.

Su Fan originally wanted to wait until the end before watching, but he didn't expect that the talismans that he was going to continue storing in the middle would actually disintegrate in the air.

This phenomenon, which had never happened before, made Su Fan frown.

[You use the Tongtian Talisman to prepare a talisman and store it. Tongtian Talisman +10]

[Talisman storage limit: 12 (can be increased)]

Is there a storage limit?

After learning the reason, Su Fan's brows relaxed.

It doesn’t matter, being able to store is good enough.

Moreover, the annotation "can be increased" behind the skill also offset Su Fan's concerns.

I believe that as my proficiency improves, one day I will be able to reach 20, 30 or even more.

[Perhaps, it can also optimize the consumption of spiritual power...]

This thought emerged in Su Fan's mind again.

However, that will have to wait until later to explore further.

"Alice, will you help me with the ink grinding?"

"Seen."

Su Fan took out his unused ink stick and inkstone and handed them to the other party.

He took out the yellow paper under the table and began to think about the many possibilities that might happen.

The possibility of the audience being influenced by demons, the possibility of collective hallucination, the possibility of riots and killing each other...

The number of talismans can only be more, not less, in case of emergency.

Meanwhile, Alice had already finished grinding the ink. Su Fan picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and drew the evil-repelling talisman on the yellow paper in one go.

As time passed, more and more talismans appeared on the table on one side.

During this process, Alice was constantly repeating the steps of pouring water and grinding ink.

As time went by, there was an indescribable tacit understanding between the two of them.

When he had drawn about forty pictures, Su Fan stopped writing and moved his pen gently twice.

"Put these aside for now, wait until they are dry in the shade, then put them away."

“…Don’t think about taking one or two from the middle. I don’t know.”

After hearing Su Fan's words after a pause, Alice's movements seemed to stiffen for a moment, and then she pretended to be calm and withdrew her not very honest little hand.

Su Fan returned to his rocking chair and made himself a cup of tea.

Although the demon itself is powerful, Su Fan also has the confidence to subdue it.

His focus is different from Alice's.

Regarding Jack and Night Owl, Su Fan was more interested in the so-called "Sequoia Society" organization.

A gentleman is open and honest while a villain is always worried.

If they weren't doing anything shameful, why would they make every large gathering so secretive?

Su Fan had long heard about the degree of perversion of the upper class in this country.

A few years ago, when I was still in college, the famous director Kubrick died.

At that time, there were rumors that Kubrick ended up like this because he had implicitly revealed related matters while filming "Eyes Wide Shut".

Many people just laughed at this legend, but Su Fan, who knew about many high-level scandals in the future, could not completely regard it as a conspiracy theory.

The closer one is to the top of the pyramid of power, the weaker the constraints of law and secular world are, and most of the time one can only rely on one's own morality.

The moral level of this group of top leaders who made their fortunes by plundering and killing has been clearly revealed in countless subsequent declassifications.

Perhaps, in addition to recruiting extraordinary people such as Feng Shui masters and psychics, they have already dealt with the demons from hell.

Still need to observe...

After drinking a sip of tea, Su Fan stood up and continued to work on making talismans.
-
In a mansion in Los Angeles.

Rowling was reading with her glasses on when the phone rang outside the door.

Just as she was about to get up, she was gently pushed down by her husband beside her.

"I go."

After a while, Ed walked in.

"What's the matter, dear? Who's calling?"

Seeing that her husband didn't look very well, Rowling immediately asked with concern.

"An invitation from a TV show, the kind we've participated in, similar to a reality talk show."

After Ed finished his explanation, he didn't want to continue, but he met Rowling's worried gaze.

"The reason they invited us this time is that they want us, as authorities in the supernatural, to verify whether a certain person is a fraud or not."

"You clearly said we were liars before, and now you want us to go and identify other people. This is ridiculous."

Hearing this, Rowling felt it was ridiculous and couldn't help but continue asking.

"Who did they ask us to identify?"

"That's the worst part, Rowling. They asked me to identify Sue."

"what?"

After these words came out, Rowling's mind went blank for a moment.

Seeing this, Ed briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter.

"I see……"

Rowling had never expected that such a major supernatural event would occur during the two months she was recuperating from her injuries.

"So you turned down this invitation?"

Ed nodded, and immediately added his explanation.

"In fact, I was worried that something might happen."

"I don't think Su is the type of person who cares about what other people think. He went on the show most likely because he thought something big would happen on the show."

Hearing this, Rowling also nodded.

Great power attracts other beings with great power.

Su's reputation in the industry is already well-known.

Under such circumstances, anyone who dares to cause trouble is not a simple character.

"Am I being a bit too cowardly?"

Ed hesitated.

"will not."

Rowling shook her head.

"You and I have a full understanding of our own abilities, and that's a good thing."

"If your premonition comes true, forcing yourself to get close will only cause trouble for Su."

After hearing that his wife was safe, Ed's face looked much better.

"Besides, there are things we can do..."
-
"Jack... things aren't going well."

Backstage, Gus's face looked almost bitter.

"I don't know what happened, but all the psychics contacted by the TV station rejected our invitation."

Hearing this, Jack's face showed visible anxiety and he tugged at his tie with his hands.

"Is the appearance fee not enough? The price we offer is already higher than the market price in the industry."

"Probably not. I heard from the contact person that they all agreed at first, but when they heard what was going to happen, they all hung up the phone."

"These guys don't want to ruin each other's jobs, damn, they are quite moral."

"But... why do I feel that they don't want to offend the young shop owner named Su Fan?"

The anxious Jack suddenly calmed down and turned to look at his partner.

"What did you say?"

"Brother, you have been busy preparing recently. Have you not read the news online?"

Before Gus said this, he rolled his eyes, as if he was worried that someone might be listening.

“One of the reporters who interviewed the store manager earlier started to become mentally unstable for some reason.

He was mumbling all day long, saying that he was cursed by Eastern witchcraft.

He was suspicious and thought the whole world was out to harm him. "

As he spoke, Gus took Jack to a computer in the backstage and found the relevant video blog from the search engine.

In the video, a man is hiding in his house, mumbling to himself.

He looked haggard, and from the heavy bags under his eyes and greasy skin it was obvious that he hadn't slept for a long time.

【Dear viewers, I am your friend Oliver. Now I have to tell you some bad news.】

【I am cursed.】

[After interviewing the owner of the antique shop, I went to the shop to investigate.]

[As soon as I got to the door, I saw the shop owner inside, smiling evilly at me.]

At this point, the man in the video shuddered all over, as if he recalled the horrific memory of that time.

Just at this moment, an inexplicable noise came from behind him.

Oliver jumped up immediately, like a frightened bird.

After checking that there was no problem, he returned to the camera.

[He made some strange gestures and muttered something.]

[I feel like nothing has gone well for me since that day, and my spirit has become increasingly depressed.]

【I think this is all because of the curse. 】

[If I die, I hope everyone can help me speak out and not let that man go unpunished. ]
