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

Chapter 303: Intentional or accidental? Su Fan: Intentional
What Su Fan was talking about was naturally the evil spirits that occupied the bodies of the audience below.

They were attracted by the smell of strangers and came to occupy the magpie's nest. They thought they could have a second life, but they didn't expect to witness what they shouldn't have seen.

They had never seen such a scene before or after their death.

In the great battle between demons and supernatural beings, even a trace of power leaked out can make them disappear silently.

Therefore, during the fierce battle just now, they did not dare to make any unnecessary movements and could only tremble in the corner of the studio like they are now.

“It seems like a lot less.”

Su Fan took a quick look and found that there were only about dozens of evil spirits still occupying bodies at the scene.

It seems that although Su Fan intended to control the battle, the thunder produced by the Five Thunder Talisman just now was enough to shatter the weak evil spirits with evil intentions.

Therefore, those who remain here now are individuals with some strength.

After thinking for a moment, Su Fan used his spiritual power to draw a talisman in the air and threw it out.

Then he turned around and left.

……

Three days later.

Inside the antique shop, a pretty vampire with short hair was cleaning the shop.

The dust contained in the air will accumulate unknowingly, so regular cleaning is very necessary.

While she was sweeping the dust with a feather duster, a program was broadcasting on the TV on the side.

On the screen, a well-dressed female host is giving her opening remarks to the screen.

"A mysterious Asian exorcist made a high-profile appearance on live TV, and a tragedy occurred on the scene."

"Is it a broadcast accident, or is there really an evil spirit at work?"

"Welcome everyone to watch my show. Today we are going to discuss the recently popular young psychic exorcist - Su Fan."

"This time, we have invited the famous current affairs commentator, Mr. Lucius, to help with specialized analysis."

Hearing this, Alice paused what she was doing and turned to the TV.

Just then, the face of a bald white man appeared on the screen.

After briefly exchanging pleasantries with the host, the bald white man named Lucius came up and got straight to the point.

"First of all, I want to state my point directly - Su Fan is a disgusting, arrogant and problematic young man."

"Is it so explosive right from the start? Isn't it a bit too direct to say so?"

The negative review without any preparation surprised the female host Julia, and then she immediately smiled and tried to smooth things over.

But obviously, the other party had no intention of accepting Julia's kindness.

"In fact, if you had seen this guy's interview with your own eyes, you would have come to the same conclusion as me."

"Directly insulting the reporter who was interviewing him, and even using those tricks to scare a writer into insanity, this can definitely be called an evil act."

Hearing this, Alice put down the feather duster in her hand unhappily and crossed her arms.

Denigrating the boss?

She wanted to see what kind of "profound ideas" this so-called expert could come up with.

And the so-called critics on TV are still pointing fingers with full confidence.

"Plus, after he went on the show, he created an anxious atmosphere and showed no respect for the other guests. It can be seen that he did not receive a good family education."

“Wow wow…”

The hostess Julia looked a little disapproving.

"But as far as I know, the reason why Mr. Sufan treated the interviewer badly was because the interviewer blocked his residence and hindered his normal life, right?"

"Ms. Julia, don't you think his attitude is wrong? Accepting media interviews is an opportunity to become famous that most people only dream of.

How many people's fame is accumulated by the articles in the news media? Su Fan didn't know how to be grateful, and he even spoke ill of the reporters for a little business.

He really doesn't know what's good for him and is short-sighted. Besides, if he didn't have any problems, why would he be so guilty that he dared not accept the interview?"

Julia was somewhat speechless at the amazing logic of the bald, greasy man in front of her, but she still patiently pointed out the inappropriateness in his words.

“…However, Mr. Sufan himself does not make money from widespread fame, and has made it clear that he does not want to go down this path.

So there is no need for him to accept public scrutiny, right?
Under these conditions, forcing an interview is an infringement of a person's free will. His counterattack is understandable. What do you think?"

Compared with Lucius's magical opinions, Julia's conclusions are more in line with the truth recognized by ordinary people.

Just as Alice nodded slightly, the sound of the door opening was heard.

"Don't listen to this kind of idiotic talk. If you get confused by it, your IQ will be lowered."

He closed the door casually and went back to the recliner at the counter and lay down with ease.

The visitor was none other than the owner of the antique shop, Su Fan, who was also the subject of discussion on the TV show.

Su Fan, lying in the rocking chair, looked at the gloomy weather outside and let out a long sigh.

"It doesn't snow every day, it's just windy and rainy. Winter in Los Angeles is really boring."

"If you want to see snow, you can come with me to Forks again. The snow there should be above the ankles now."

"Forget it then."

Su Fan really didn't want to watch the drama between Bella Edward and Jacob.

Without the external crisis of the Volturi family, all that remains is the tug-of-war between men and women.

Su Fan poured boiling water from the kettle to make tea, and then habitually looked for books under the counter.

"How can you still read a book leisurely like nothing happened?"

Alice looked at Su Fan with a hint of confusion in her tone.

"Why can't I read a book?"

Su Fan remained calm and unhurried.

"Don't you have super senses? Don't you know exactly what's going on outside?"

Alice knew that Su Fan was referring to the reporters who had gathered at the door.

After the late night devil show ended three days ago, no one has been hanging around trying to peek inside the antique shop.

These guys who make a living by digging into other people's privacy probably know something from various channels.

It is confirmed that the antique shop owner is indeed a ruthless person.

After that, they no longer dared to gather here and block the door to take pictures as before.

"Okay, the reporter's problem has indeed been solved by itself, but have you ever considered the problem of the public's focus?"

"Your plan before going on the show should be to avoid escalating the situation, right?"

"But look, there are programs about you on TV now."

Alice said, pointing to the TV.

Among them, the footage of Su Fan’s interview happened to start playing.

……

Reporter A: Alex, the filmer of Cemetery Encounter 2, has been confirmed dead. But judging from the footage, you seemed to have had the opportunity to rescue him but didn't. Was that intentional?
Su Fan: He wants to kill me in order to escape from the mental hospital. Should I save him?

Reporter A: Although he had a bad experience with you, it was still a human life. Could you just watch him die from hunger and do nothing?

Su Fan: So what do you think I should do?
Reporter A: You can be more tolerant, forgive the other person's mistakes, and escape with him and his companions.

Su Fan: Silly dog ​​(middle finger)

……

Reporter B: Mr. Sufan, is the reason you didn't save Alex because he is a transgender?

Su Fan:?
Reporter B: Alex has dressed as a woman many times in school. Some analysts have pointed out that he may be a hidden transgenderist. Are you discriminating against him and that’s why you refuse to rescue him? Su Fan: It’s unbelievable that you have such a misunderstanding about me. In fact, I am also a transgenderist. Although my biological sex is male, I consider myself female.

Reporter B: How do you explain the fact that you dated a female classmate in college and usually wore men's clothes?

Su Fan: I am a homosexual and a transvestite.

Reporter B: ...Really?

Su Fan: Fake.

……

Reporter C: As an exorcist with the power to exorcise evil spirits, I’m sure you face difficult choices in your daily work?
Su Fan: For example?

Reporter C: For example, an evil spirit attacks two different people, and you have to decide which one to save first.

Su Fan: That doesn’t exist. Only people with insufficient abilities can make the choice.

Reporter C: Let’s say there’s a fire in a museum and there’s a famous painting and a cat inside. You can only save one. What would you choose?

Su Fan: Put out the fire first.

……

Interview scenes like this continue one after another.

Alice looked at Su Fan, who kept saying golden sentences on the screen, and sighed.

"In fact, you can also say some bland and polite words, as long as others don't think you have any special features."

“That approach no longer works.”

Su Fan lay down, rocked the recliner, and spoke slowly.

"How can an elephant hide behind a stick without anyone noticing?"

"Since exposure is inevitable, why not just go with the flow?"

Alice tilted her head, a puzzled look on her face.

"What do you mean?"

"Literally. Think about it, the reason why the public is curious about exorcists and supernatural phenomena is simply because things are rare and valuable."

"But what if everyone knew and was sure that these things existed?"

"I see. You want everyone to accept these things and get used to them, right? But what about the government?"

Alice nodded, but also asked a question.

"I've also talked to Sheriff Dyson. The government's previous attitude towards supernatural events was to block the news and play dumb."

"Won't your plan be obstructed by them?"

"This time, that time."

After Su Fan finished speaking, he did not explain further.

That’s right, more than half a year ago, the American government could still turn a blind eye to the continuous paranormal events.

But as time goes by, strange events have spread all over North America.

Although these people who have encountered life-and-death crises will not easily tell others about their experiences, they will definitely communicate with each other.

At the same time, I will pay special attention to similar news.

Truth will come to light sooner or later, and the U.S. government’s credibility is extremely poor. Compared to “blocking,” “unblocking” is definitely more convenient, faster, and saves time and effort.

Perhaps, the upper echelons have had similar ideas for a long time.

When Alice saw this, she knew that Su Fan probably had his own plan.

"I know you don't need me to worry, but I'm worried that if the existence of vampires is exposed, we might be surrounded and attacked."

"Don't worry. Vampires kill fewer people in a year than people who die from drugs in a month. They don't have time to pick on you."

Su Fan waved his hand with a smile.

"Even if something really happens, I will try my best to protect you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Alice turned her head around with a confused look on her face.

Such warm and powerful words coming out of Su Fan's mouth always felt a little off.

Although he behaves like Grandet, he seems to have some conscience.

Alice showed a slight smile on her lips and went to the small warehouse at the back to continue dancing with her feather duster.

And Su Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Is it easy for this antique shop to find employees? After months of posting missing person notices, he finally found someone else.

Alice is good at calculating accounts and selling goods, and she is also good at protecting the store. She can defeat a small Karami with one punch.

It also has the functions of being immortal, easy to keep, and being a little helper who can predict the future.

Where can I find such a perfect clerk?
Su Fan was thinking when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

It's Dyson.

Both parties were old acquaintances, and Dyson also knew Su Fan's temper, so he simply skipped the small talk and explained the purpose of his call.

"Su, I'm calling to confirm something with you.

When you were on the show before, you had a battle with the devil, right? "

"Well, what happened?"

"Are you hurt?"

Dyson's tone was a little nervous.

"All the audience members who left the show fell seriously ill and became extremely weak."

"This is what you called the symptom of Yin energy entering the body, Su."

"so……"

In Dyson's mind, Su Fan's strength can be said to be unfathomable.

Getting rid of negative energy is even easier.

But the audience at the show was, contrary to their usual behavior, invaded by negative energy.

The first possibility that Dyson thought of was that Su Fan was tied up in order to protect this group of burdens and suffered a hard battle.

"Don't worry, I'm not hurt."

"That……"

"When I exorcised the evil spirits, I retained some of the Yin energy in their bodies."

"why?"

Dyson was confused.

"Was it intentional or accidental?"

"Of course it was intentional."

It can be said that the love of watching and listening to gossip is an instinct engraved in human genes, which is understandable.

But if you are willing to put yourself in danger just to satisfy your curiosity and desire to pry, then you are impatient with life.

Su Fan felt uncomfortable when he thought about these idiots jumping around immediately after waking up.

Therefore, the talisman that Su Fan drew before leaving was a weakened version of the evil-suppressing talisman.

The strength is just right to wipe out the evil spirits and leave some negative energy.

Only by retaining some Yin energy can they know that the large intestines they ate... ahem, only then can they know that they were possessed by a ghost and walked on the brink of life and death.
