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

Chapter 306 Anti-Santa Claus Krampus

Su Fan let Lana go first, and of course, did not forget to ask her to leave her address.

Then I got paper and pen again.

"Is it still necessary for you to use paper and pen to draw talismans now?"

Alice looked at Su Fan's behavior and asked curiously.

"Of course, otherwise how can we sell it?"

Su Fan spoke calmly and simply drew a few talismans to suppress evil and calm the mind.

"Besides, these talismans are not for me to use."

Hearing this, Alice was stunned.

"Who is that for?"

It couldn't be for Lana, because if the paper talisman could solve the problem, Su Fan would have no need to ask the other party to leave an address.

"Of course it's you. Is there anything you need to prepare? If not, come with me."

Alice opened her eyes wide, with a hint of disbelief and resentment on her face.

Dear Bella, I am afraid I cannot continue writing to you.

Because my boss, Grandet, suddenly asked me to work overtime.

Unfortunately, there are no labor unions in the vampire society, and the basic rights of vampire workers cannot be maintained...

Su Fan handed the talisman in his hand to Alice, and then took her out of the antique shop.

He had a reason to take Alice with him.

Vampires move quickly and have physical strength far beyond that of ordinary humans.

If there really is a special situation, it will obviously be much more useful than Lana, a helpless composer.

Now that it was getting dark, Alice no longer had to worry about being exposed to the sunlight and revealing her identity as a vampire.

Just looking at her expression, she doesn't seem very happy.

"Haven't you always wanted to see what a haunted scene looks like? You're not happy about it this time."

“Playing and working overtime are two different things. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, as long as it involves work, people will feel tired and disgusted.”

Alice paused at this point.

"What's more, the boss was not even willing to call a taxi for his employees on this cold winter night."

"Are you sure? It's rush hour now. You walk much faster than those iron sheets on the street."

Seeing that Su Fan didn't care about her complaints, Alice gave up complaining.

The two turned into a small alley and then suddenly accelerated.

The cold wind brought about by the rapid movement sobered up countless drunkards on the roadside.

"Will we really not arrive earlier than Lana this way?"

As they walked, Alice suddenly turned her head and asked.

Su Fan was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"…Let's go to the Starbucks next door and buy a cup of coffee first."

Su Fan had watched a video in his previous life.

Above is a black guy teaching his brothers of the same skin color how to appear harmless in the eyes of the police.

The method is very simple. Just hold a cup of Starbucks in your hand and take a sip while talking to the police who is questioning you.

Some people on the Internet said that this is because the relaxed feeling of walking in one's own living room makes it less likely for the police to notice it.

But Su Fan thought that it was imitating the vague sense of death exuded by office workers.

What kind of threat can a worker who only cares about working pose?

While queuing to buy coffee, Su Fan was surrounded by white-collar workers who looked well-dressed but were actually listless.

Su Fan and Alice found a table and sat opposite each other. They didn't speak or touch the coffee in front of them, and both fell into thought.

Su Fan recalled what he had seen and heard in the foreign land before.

There is no concept of time, the space is full of souls and is controlled by the creator behind the scenes.

After he entered and killed a lot of people, they deliberately avoided him.

This reaction was very similar to the one entered into Collingwood Mental Asylum.

Su Fan also made up his mind to find out more about the foreign land.

In the Lurking series, there should be no creator for this alien space.

Obviously, this is another development beyond the original work.

The opponent may be a weak individual like a demon in a mental hospital, or he may be an extremely powerful evil giant.

Su Fan had to be on guard against a sudden attack from this "creator" who had been hiding from beginning to end.

When out of the Yin Shen state, Su Fan's body only has basic self-protection instincts, and his combat effectiveness is basically zero.

It is extremely dangerous if there is no one to watch over it.

"When we get to Lana's house, your job is to prevent anyone from getting close to the house."

While Su Fan was giving instructions to Alice, he looked out at the sky which had turned completely dark.

“In addition to the ghosts in the foreign land, there are other evil spirits that will move at the news.

You can stick this amulet for warding off evil on the door lintel of her house.

As for the two pieces, the amulet and the tranquilizer, you should always carry them with you."

Having said this, Su Fan paused slightly.

Whether vampires have souls remains a mystery.

But since we are preparing, we must do it thoroughly.

"Once you notice Dalton, Josh, and Ellis showing signs of waking up, place the tranquilizing charms on their foreheads."

"The soul that has just returned to the body is not stable yet. It is very likely to be attacked by wandering evil spirits again and leave the body."

Alice nodded continuously and accepted the talisman.

"Do you still remember the precautions for the talisman?"

"remember."

"That's good."

Alice is a pretty good employee.

The assigned tasks are completed step by step without asking why.

I will look for information on my own and ask questions I really don’t understand afterwards.

This made Su Fan very satisfied.

Out of the Yin spirit, astral projection, foreign lands, Iris…

Even if I just talk about the key points of the process, I don’t know how long it will take.

In the past, all of his temporary partners were clients who had encountered ghosts. In order to make them understand and believe that this was indeed useful, Su Fan had to explain.

Now that he has saved himself the trouble, he can also close his eyes and think about other problems.

Not long after, Su Fan opened his eyes and continued to head towards Lana's house with Alice.

When the two rang the doorbell, two old acquaintances came to open the door.

"Su, you're finally here."

The two men were one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, but when they saw Su Fan, they both showed excitement.

Tucker and Spike, two enthusiasts of making paranormal exploration videos, have become more professional since they formed a team with Elise.

But they are still ordinary people with no abilities. After Ilis fell into a coma, they were left in the dark and had no means to deal with the evil spirits.

"These two are Elise's assistants, Tucker and Spike."

"This is Alice, the clerk in my antique shop."

Tucker and the other man were surprised by Alice's beauty and temperament, but after all, they had seen the world and soon came to their senses.

"Is Elise okay?"

"There's nothing unusual at the moment...you should go in and take a look yourself."

The two of them took the initiative to make way and brought Su Fan into the house.

All the furniture was moved to the corners of the room, and three beds were neatly placed in the middle of the living room. In the middle was a little boy, with the man and Iris on either side.

At this time, Lana was squatting between her husband and son, holding their hands.

Su Fan glanced at Dalton and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have met him once before.

While chasing the oxygen mask evil spirit, the other party opened a door and startled a little boy.

And the little boy was sleeping on the hospital bed at this time.

Su Fan's eyes involuntarily swept to the many paintings on the wall.

Among them, a tall figure was holding a weapon and killing everyone, and the weapon was obviously a crowbar.

There is another line of words written below.

【I want to find him and become like him. 】

Seeing this, Su Fan remained silent.

Could this matter actually have something to do with me?

"Miss Lana invited you because Tucker and I persuaded her. Please don't be offended."

Spike spoke first, his tone a little reserved.

"We know that you are a busy person and don't want to cause trouble, but we can't think of anyone else who can solve this situation."

"After Ms. Ellis formed a team with us, she has been using her abilities to help others. I originally thought this was just another simple necromancy ritual, but..."

"It doesn't matter."

Su Fan waved his hand, signaling the other party not to continue.

Elise and he were also acquainted before, and Lana's family was different from Quinn's last time.

What's more, Dalton always goes to foreign lands because of him.

It is reasonable for him to go through this.

"Do you want us to play the videotape that recorded the communication?"

Tucker took out the video footage immediately and started to play it.

The most important thing in exorcism is intelligence. In order to help Su Fan save time, they made a lot of preparations.

With Su Fan's approval, Tucker and his team used the projector in the house to play slides consisting of photos and video materials.

Alice stood behind Su Fan, as if she was watching a horror movie, with a hint of strong curiosity in her fear.

Using temperature detection instruments and a number of specialized video equipment, they captured images of many ghosts wandering around the house.

The pale-faced twin girls holding hands appeared at the end of the corridor...

A man with a rotten face and bloodshot eyes...

These photos were recorded using a special camera that the two of them studied.

In addition to this, there are also psychic records.

Just reading the conversations retold through Iris's mouth made Alice feel uncomfortable.

It seems that the boy’s experience can be restored through these words and descriptions.

He was lost in the dark space, not daring to speak loudly or move, for fear of being discovered by the mysterious and malicious beings in the darkness.

He didn't even dare to have too much communication with Iris, who came to rescue and guide him out.

"Iris described what that thing looked like, didn't she?"

After reading to the end, Su Fan suddenly asked.

"Well, it has dark eye sockets, red skin, horns on its head, a tail behind it, and legs that look like goat hooves."

"Same as someone I know, a typical demon-like appearance."

"Have you ever dealt with demons?"

"That's it."

Hearing this, Tucker and Spike looked at each other in amazement.

In less than half a year, this young exorcist has reached a level they could not imagine.

According to Su Fan's style of doing things, he definitely had a head-on fight with the so-called devil.

And now that the other party is standing in front of them intact, they can already reflect many things.

Tucker and Spike felt reassured and continued their explanation.

Su Fan was not impatient and listened carefully from beginning to end.

“Before Ellis completely cut off contact with us, he described the place where the red-faced demon imprisoned Josh and the others.”

"Red lights, record players, masks, dolls and even Christmas trees..."

Alice was a little surprised after hearing the description.

"It sounds like a Christmas party..."

"Come to think of it, Josh and Elise also happened to lose contact with us at Christmas time."

Tucker spoke as if he remembered something.

At this moment, Su Fan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Krampus."

"What did you say?"

"The monster's real name is Krampus."

Tucker and the others' description reminded Su Fan of the information he had read in the past.

There are legends about Christmas and Santa Claus.

This bearded old man who rides a reindeer sleigh, climbs down the chimney and delivers gifts to children door to door on Christmas Eve is a widely circulated Christmas image.

But besides Santa Claus, there is another terrifying existence that is completely opposite to him, that is Krampus.

Unlike Santa Claus, who rewards good children with candy and gifts, Anti-Santa Claus Krampus beats bad children with birch branches and takes them back to his horror lair.

According to legend, the other party is the son of the Queen of the Underworld.

"I see. This explains why there are so many Christmas-themed props in the devil's lair."

Alice and the others suddenly realized.

"So, he won't harm Dalton, right?"

"After all, it was just a beating with birch branches."

Tucker and Spike suddenly asked with hope, but were met with Su Fan's ruthless denial.

"Compared to the body, the soul is much more fragile, and the pain is also more intense."

"After the soul of an ordinary person leaves the body, it cannot even withstand the blast of cold wind, let alone the whipping of birch branches."

If they really did that, the three of them would be close to death.

Su Fan glanced at Lana who was trembling on the side and didn't continue speaking.

"So, without further ado, go and save people now."

Upon hearing this, Alice immediately put away her previous attitude of watching the fun, turned around and prepared to go and paste talismans on the lintel of the mansion as Su Fan instructed.

"Do you need our help?"

Tucker and Spike volunteered.

"Take Ms. Lana with you, and keep as far away as possible."

Alice's main task is to keep an eye on his body, and having more of them would only distract her.

"I see."

The two of them didn't waste any more time. They came to Lana and tried to persuade her with kind words. Finally, they supported each other and left.

After clearing the area, Su Fan took the talisman and stuck it on his body, then closed his eyes.

As a white light flashed in front of him, Su Fan felt his body become lighter.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw his own sitting body.

The dark space unfolded in front of him, instantly enveloping Su Fan's soul.

Unlike before, there was white mist flowing on the ground inside the house.
