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

Chapter 299 The truth pieced together, the girl behaving abnormally
"Shut up! I can't listen to any of your nonsense!"

Seeing that Su Fan wanted to continue speaking, Hegge immediately interrupted him.

"You also said that I won't live long... Do you think you can fool me with such outdated rhetoric?"

"You just got my information by invading other people's privacy through some dirty means unknown to others."

He spoke with certainty and righteousness, as if he still didn't believe that Su Fan could see through the so-called fate.

But in reality, he was filled with doubt and fear towards the young man at the edge.

Haig didn't dare let Su Fan continue speaking.

If more detailed information were to be revealed, his reputation would be ruined.

At the same time, he was even more afraid that the future revealed by Su Fan would come true.

Haig's inner turmoil was fully displayed to the audience present and absent through his expression.

You can learn so much information about the other party just by tossing a coin?

The mysterious art of divination gradually aroused people's admiration and curiosity.

The ratings subsequently soared.

But in fact, what Su Fan just revealed was just the tip of the iceberg.

Through the hexagram, he roughly guessed how subsequent events would develop.

The future that Alice saw was only a short fragment, and the cause and effect were completely unknown.

[On the talk show stage, the girl's head and face were split in two, but what flowed out was not blood and brain tissue, but colorful and surging energy.

All the electric current at the scene was concentrated on her body, providing energy for the existence that was about to hatch within her body.

The people at the scene fled in all directions, but without exception they all fell to the ground and died, their blood drained out, leaving them only skin and bones.

Someone tried to stop this with prayers and the cross, but he couldn't even bear the girl's gaze, and his head twisted 180 degrees out of thin air...】

According to Alice's description, this late-night devil show undoubtedly invited a real devil and made it come successfully.

After Su Fan confirmed all this, he understood what this so-called talk show was all about.

The advent of the devil generally requires complex and mysterious rituals, as well as corresponding sacrifices.

The guests and audience at the talk show are the nourishment for the devil's coming this time.

But the problem also followed.

Infiltrating the program team and turning a good talk show into a scene where the devil descends upon the world would be impossible without the support of internal personnel.

So, what role did the people present play in this advent ceremony?

The answer to this question can be obtained from Heger's hexagram and Alice's premonition.

Christo, the hapless psychic, has no idea what is going on and is an outsider with some skills.

Haig, a greedy and stubborn anti-counterfeiting magician, is best at changing his attitude according to the situation and taking actions when he sees profit, which indirectly led to everything that happened in the end.

Gus, a man who gradually realized the seriousness of the situation as it developed, lost his life because he couldn't let go of his partner.

As for Jack...

Thinking of this, Su Fan turned his gaze behind the host again.

There, a figure that ordinary people could not see was standing there.

Her face was haggard, she was skinny and all the hair on her head had fallen out.

Apparently he had received chemotherapy before his death.

The woman looked at Jack gently as he talked, her eyes showing both reluctance and a hint of helplessness and pain.

She reached out to touch Jack's cheek, but her hand passed right through his body.

Seeing this, Su Fan looked away, frowning.

He knew the identity of this female ghost.

Madeline, a theatre actress, is also Jack's wife who passed away not long ago.

She and her husband Jack were previously considered a model couple in the entertainment industry.

But Madeline, who never smoked, was diagnosed with lung cancer more than a year ago.

Even so, she still went on Jack's talk show in the last moments of her life, wanting to help him fulfill his dream of topping the ratings.

But their love could not defeat the show with the highest ratings, and Madeline left the world with regret in her heart.

This result made Alice, who told Su Fan the news, couldn't help but sigh.

But she would probably never guess what kind of evil and absurd truth was hidden beneath the appearance of deep love between the couple.

A person who never smoked was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer with no symptoms, combined with the rumors that Jack attended the Sequoia Club.

The answer is already there.

This seemingly decent talk show host sacrificed the life of his beloved to the devil in exchange for success in his career.

The first time he stepped into this place, Su Fan saw the ghost that always followed Jack, which also verified Su Fan's inference before coming here.

But there was one thing he didn't expect.

Su Fan originally thought that this guy was just a hypocritical beast, and that he was holding a grudge against him because Madeline was killed by him, but he later discovered that this was not the case.

Before her death, Madeleine knew what her husband had done, but even so, she still supported him unhesitatingly and loved that man deeply.

That's why, before the show started, everyone tried to stop Jack from continuing to participate and being used by the devil.

The words that Su Fan suddenly said to Jack at that time came from Madeline's mouth.

It would be best if Jack could turn back from his mistakes, but it seems that there is no sign of that for the time being...

……

"It seems that the debate between the two of you did not produce any concrete results."

Jack finally spoke.

"Let's put that question aside for now. In fact, in order to verify whether the supernatural phenomena really exist, I also invited a mysterious guest."

He took out a book from the table next to him.

"Conversations with the Devil, by Ms. Joan Rose Mitchell."

"After reading the contents, I was shocked. The detailed description of the supernatural phenomena made me wonder whether she had really seen a demon."

“And today’s interview is a great opportunity for us to welcome Dr. Joan and her patient, who is also the prototype of the book, Lily!”

The door opened and a woman who looked like an intellectual walked out, holding her left hand with a little girl who looked about 14 years old.

They came and sat down on the other side of Jack.

The girl looked very sunny and cheerful, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with her.

But when his true identity was revealed, it was unbelievable.

Abraxas religion.

The cult was notorious for performing human sacrifices, baby sacrifices, and many other gruesome and evil rituals.

FBI agents confirmed their actions and launched a large-scale crackdown.

After three days of armed confrontation and exchange of fire with government personnel, the cult leader, running out of ammunition and food, ordered the followers to pour gasoline on each other and then set fire to the house that served as their stronghold.

This resulted in the largest collective self-immolation incident in American history.

Firefighters found a baby girl in the rubble after the fire.

The baby girl had nothing on her except a card with her name on it.

She was adopted by a welfare agency, but as she grew up, many strange phenomena that could not be explained by common sense occurred to her.

For example, his height and appearance have not changed much.

For example, there is always an electric current gathering around her, making it impossible for ordinary people to get close to her.

When many doctors were at a loss, Dr. Joan, who was well versed in mysticism, took the initiative to undertake the treatment task.

With her continuous efforts, Lily was finally able to live like a normal person and participate in the show.

"Hello, Lily."

"Hello, Jack." After a brief greeting between Jack and Lily, he got straight to the point.

"What do you think of the live show? Can you adapt to it?"

“It’s quite nice here, I like it very much.”

Lily's eyes swept across the audience, across all the cameras, and also met the eyes of many guests, finally stopping on Su Fan.

"Of course, he's still my favorite."

As she spoke, Lily raised her finger and pointed at Su Fan, with a mysterious smile on her face.

"It seems that our exorcist master has successfully touched the girl's heart with his handsome face."

Jack's humorous words caused a small laugh.

"So what do you think of me? Have you seen my show?"

"I haven't watched it, because I usually fall asleep at this time. But I know you, Jack. Dr. June often mentions you and says that you are very handsome when you are hosting."

"..."

Jack's face froze when he heard that.

The audience below was very curious.

"Lily..."

Dr. June wanted to say something to interrupt Lily, but she didn't care and continued speaking.

"You don't have to worry about your show, because I have a feeling you're going to be super famous after tonight."

"Oh... okay, thank you for your comfort."

Hearing this, Jack's complexion seemed to improve a lot.

"Just now you said that you like Mr. Su Fan the most. Can you tell me why?"

"Before I answer your question, can I make a request?"

"Please tell me."

"I want to sit next to him."

Lily's request was not too big, and the people present did not think there was anything wrong with it.

There were even people in the audience who started booing and whistling.

The admiration of young boys and the worries of young girls are always popular wherever they are.

Not to mention, the two who want to be a couple now are a mysterious girl who is related to a cult and a fortune teller who never stops making shocking statements.

"I don't think Mr. Sufan would refuse a beautiful girl like you to sit next to him, right?"

Jack faced Lily, but his eyes turned to Su Fan.

There should be no need to ask for opinions from ordinary guests, it should just be a formality.

But Jack was unsure about this guy who didn't play by the rules.

Sure enough, before Jack finished speaking, Su Fan spoke.

"I reject."

Before the cameraman turned the camera to aim at Su Fan, a fluorescent light flashed in the latter's eyes.

……

Hopeless.

Su Fan took back Tongyou and sentenced the girl named Lily opposite him to death in his heart.

The devil's clone was sleeping inside her body.

This body, like the container prepared for Baimon, has completely lost its will.

The normal Lily who now appears in front of everyone is just an adaptive personality formed after spending a long time in human society.

The reason why the other party showed such great interest in Su Fan should be a subconscious self-protection behavior.

[In the face of a powerful being, in order to preserve the weak self, do you immediately show a friendly and submissive attitude? ]

The fusion of the body and the container is so complete that the ritual should have been completed long ago, with only the last step missing.

Su Fan thought of this and looked at Lily opposite him again.

Long hair, fair skin, a straight nose, bright eyes, a denim suspender skirt, white stockings and Mary Jane shoes.

Appearance can be considered a symbol among white people.

If it were an ordinary person, he might have already started to develop a liking for this little beauty who looks like a loli.

But Su Fan felt a sense of disgust.

No matter how good-looking one is, it cannot conceal the evil aura emanating from within.

It's just like watching a stinking zombie posing and pretending to be something in front of you.

This shock was even greater than the one when that dwarf old woman played the role of a lolita before.

Su Fan couldn't help but clench his hands on the spot.

At the same time, on the wall behind the stage, a long canvas bag trembled slightly.

……

Due to Su Fan's straightforward refusal, the atmosphere at the scene became cold for a moment.

"Well, it seems that our young and promising fortune teller is a little too shy about this matter. Even his hands can't help but tremble."

Jack was trying to smooth things over, but the producer's voice came from his headphones.

He seemed to be talking to someone on the phone, and his tone was no longer as enthusiastic as before, but instead a little more cautious.

Even through the microphone, he seemed to be able to see the other person sweating and nodding his head.

After a few seconds, the producer exhaled and cursed in an unhappy tone.

"New Orleans can still control this place with such a long reach, what are the top executives in Los Angeles doing?"

"damn it……"

After a few words of scolding, the producer finally spoke.

"Some big shot up there is unhappy."

"Just find a way to jump to the questioning session and don't let that girl bring up the issue of changing seats again."

Jack was a little confused.

But that’s fine too.

He himself did not dare to provoke this mysterious young man.

"It seems that the seat change cannot be reached unfortunately, Lily."

"It doesn't matter. Some things really can't go as we expect. There are always all kinds of unexpected situations in the world, right?"

Lily seemed very understanding towards Su Fan's rejection.

The gentleness she displayed made everyone feel pity for her.

"Let's talk about the one inside you, shall we? I heard that you have given it a name before?"

"Yes, I call him Mr. Twist."

"So this Mr. Twister is here with us now?"

"Yes."

Jack, who asked the question, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

At that moment just now, he seemed to hear a sneer coming from the darkness of the stage behind him.

"Then do you have any way to let Mr. Niuniu prove his existence...similar to communicating with everyone..."

But for the sake of the show, Jack gritted his teeth and continued speaking.

It requires major revisions, and I will try to finish it before 1am.
