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

Chapter 307: The Gate to Hell, the Weird and Twisted Woods

When Su Fan's Yin Spirit came out, Alice just happened to arrive at the door.

After the conversation just now, Ms. Lana and the two assistants had left the house and went to rest in a van parked on the roadside.

The vampire's extraordinary hearing allowed Alice to clearly hear the conversation between the three people in the car.

Lana's mood is very unstable.

Although she had seen Su Fan's extraordinary performance on TV, her previous experiences of being deceived made her unable to trust exorcists other than Iris's team.

"Can he really do that?"

"As we have told you repeatedly, if he can't do it, no one else in this world can."

"Unless God himself extends his almighty hand."

As Spike answered, Tucker added some explanation.

"Listen, Ms. Lana, as an ordinary person, you will find it incredible to watch what he does. As exorcists and psychics, we are also shocked, even more so."

"He can do much more than you can imagine."

"Just stay here and wait for good news."

……

Alice could tell that these two people had great trust in Su Fan, even to the point of blindly following him.

But this is normal. Her boss seems to be lazy, but he is very reliable and trustworthy when doing things.

Just as Alice was lost in thought, a strong chill suddenly swept over from her junior.

Different from the cold air outside, this "cold wind" can make even Alice, a vampire, feel physically disgusted.

The "cold air" seemed to have self-awareness and surrounded Alice. She even felt that there were creatures hiding in the darkness and staring at her in invisible places.

The lights in the originally bright room suddenly went out.

At this moment, Alice heard a series of low whispers.

In the corridor before my eyes, shadows kept passing by.

"I didn't know I could get goose bumps."

Alice wiped her forearm and muttered to herself in a slightly surprised tone.

At this moment, the amulet in her pocket emitted a warm breath, dispelling the cold air that was lingering around her.

Feeling the power of the talisman for the first time, Alice couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

The paper was no different than before, and showed no signs of heating or burning.

What principle?
Alice was confused, but she did not forget the important task that Su Fan had assigned to her.

He took out the house-warding talisman and pasted it on the door lintel of the house.

The originally dark house seemed to have suddenly restored power, and the lights lit up again.

The cold and gloomy atmosphere that had previously lingered in the room was also swept away.

“How convenient.”

It is easy to use and has excellent effects.

Only Su Fan can produce such an excellent product, shouldn’t the price be increased?
Alice thought so as she made her way back to the living room.

When passing by a house, my peripheral vision inadvertently caught a glimpse of the scene outside the window.

Countless translucent ghosts wandered around the outside of the house, their pale faces pressed against the glass windows, longing for the four empty bodies inside.

There was peace inside the house, but ghosts were crying outside.

Those with weaker mental qualities simply cannot stay here.

"Okay, now I know why you wanted them all out of the house."

Alice came in front of Su Fan, looked at Su Fan who was breathing deeply and motionless, and whispered.

She knew that Su Fan couldn't hear, and she knew where he had gone, but she was not worried about Su Fan's safety at all.

"You've turned those things into clowns, Mr. Soufan."

Alice held her cheek.

"With you here, who will be afraid of evil spirits?"

……

After leaving the Yin Spirit, Su Fan quickly walked out of Lana's house.

Until I saw a gentle light emanating from the darkness around the house.

Numerous evil spirits surrounded the house and could not enter.

Anyone who tries to force their way in will be burned to ashes by the sudden blazing light.

Seeing this, Su Fan finally turned around and moved towards the deeper darkness.

In horror movies, the protagonist always messes up things that even disabled people can do due to various coincidences, which increases the fear while also raising doubts about the protagonist's IQ.

This also made Su Fan worried whether Alice would suffer a similar impact.

But now it seems that he is overthinking.

Alice is someone who is not affected by the female Mary Sue novels. She has considerable magic resistance and is a solid and reliable teammate.

Unlike the last time he entered a foreign land, Su Fan can now feel the rejection of this space at all times.

Force came from all directions, trying to squeeze his soul out of this space.

But Su Fan's strength at this time was no longer comparable to before.

The rejection from foreign lands does have some impact, and Su Fan needs to use almost 20% of his strength to fight against it.

But even with a 20% discount, it is enough to deal with various situations in this space.

Tongyou gave Su Fan a special vision, which allowed him to see through the endless darkness that seemed endless to ordinary people.

The true face of the alien space unfolded completely before his eyes.

The layout is similar to the real space, but there are gray-white doors everywhere.

The white fog and gloomy tones made these doors, which should have been normal, look like they were made of bones.

Su Fan randomly picked one of the doors and opened it, and saw an unexpected scene behind the door.

"Jamie?"

The familiar young man was lying on a beach at this time.

The beautiful women around him came up to chat with him from time to time, but Jamie ignored them.

After everyone had dispersed, Jamie took out a happy photo of himself and his dead wife Lisa from his wallet.

Seeing this, Su Fan closed the door in front of him.

This time point should be when Jamie was traveling to relax.

Iris was not wrong. In this foreign space, there was no concept of time. What lay behind the door led to an unknown time and place.

Exploring different time and space is indeed very attractive. Even Su Fan feels a little eager to try it out.

But he did not forget the real purpose of his trip.

Iris and Josh, father and son, are still suffering at the hands of Krampus.

Su Fan's mind moved, and his spiritual consciousness emanated from his body.

"The scope has narrowed..."

The spiritual consciousness that could originally extend to 500 meters from the house has now been compressed to about 300 meters.

Although it was harmless, Su Fanren couldn't help but frowning at the feeling as if his arm was shorter.

Of course, the divine sense that has shortened the distance cannot find Krampus's lair.

Su Fan could only rely on his vision and perception of his surroundings to keep groping forward.

As a demon, Krampus' aura is much stronger than that of ordinary evil spirits.

Su Fan also remembered that the door leading to the devil's mansion was blood red.

The iconic features would not be too difficult to find. Just as Su Fan was thinking this, he found that the environment around him suddenly changed.

In this foreign land that was originally identical to the outside world, all the buildings have disappeared.

All that remained were many closed doors.

The doors of these rooms are no longer the same bone white.

After a quick look, in addition to white, there are also red, yellow, green, black and gray...

Each of them exudes a different aura, but they are all weird without exception.

Su Fan didn't hesitate and went straight towards the red gate.

He didn't know what the other party's plans were or what the current situation was, but one thing was very clear.

Extra actions will cause unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, the moment these doors appeared, Mengtou, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly sensed something.

The thing behind the door was actually enough to threaten his safety...

This fact immediately made him alert.

The night is long and dreams are many, so it is better to rescue people and leave quickly.

With this thought in mind, Su Fan opened the red door, but what came into his eyes was not the evil Christmas house described in Tucker and the others' information.

Instead, it was a space filled with red hot air and skeletons.

The strong smell of sulfur rushed straight into Su Fan's brain.

Along with it came a strong evil spirit.

Dilapidated and ruined buildings and endless wilderness burning with flames.

Without any explanation, Su Fan knew where he was.

"hell……"

The moment he realized this, Su Fan grabbed the door with his hand and immediately closed it!

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. In less than a second, Su Fan's figure was completely hidden behind the red wooden door.

There was only a tiny gap left before the wooden door could be completely closed.

But at this moment, Su Fan felt an unknown powerful push!
At the same time, there were faint noises coming from behind the door.

That was the sound of chanting.

It was like a concerto of a large orchestra, coming from far away and gradually getting closer, from being inaudible at the beginning to being extremely clear.

A terrifying aura suddenly descended!

Su Fan frowned.

While exerting force, he used his magical power to attack the wooden door.

To be able to have such a powerful appearance, the opponent is definitely not an ordinary person.

Now he is in a state of Yin spirit and cannot display his full strength.

The opponent has the home advantage of Hell.

Confronting the opponent head-on is like not dying fast enough!
However, he did not expect that although his reaction was quick enough, it was still noticed by the existence in hell.

shit!

Su Fan cursed inwardly and added a little more strength to his hands, but even so, the wooden door still could not be completely closed.

Not only that, there was also a faint crisp sound coming from it!

Clearly visible cracks spread across the wooden door.

Su Fan could see the black aura emanating from the gap through his peripheral vision!
The heavy black air flowed down the red door like liquid.

In contrast, the orchestra and chanting on the other side of the door became increasingly louder and louder, as if the singers were about to completely tear their vocal cords apart!
Seeing this, Su Fan knew that he could not delay any longer, and immediately used his power to slay the demon.

A green light was released from both hands and penetrated through the door to the other side.

"..."

The pressure on the other side of the door suddenly decreased, and Su Fan took this opportunity to close the door completely and took a few steps back.

He stared at the door with his eyes, and made up his mind that if it made any unusual movements again, he would immediately return to his body.

Fortunately, after a few breaths, there was nothing unusual.

Su Fan was still a little worried, so he observed for a while before turning around and leaving.

Can the foreign land connect to hell?

This was an unexpected situation he had not expected.

But what surprised Su Fan even more was the hint given by his Mengtou.

Among the many gates, the red gate that had just been opened was not the one that gave Su Fan the strongest sense of crisis!

“I thought it was a shallow pool, but it turned out to be an underwater cliff.”

He didn't remember that there was such a dangerous area in the foreign land in the original Lurking series.

Su Fan looked left and right, but saw no other red gates, so he turned around and returned the same way.

He was sure that this was not the road Dalton had taken, and Krampus's lair was definitely not here.

Su Fan didn't know how long he had been walking before the community complex and many buildings shrouded in white fog finally appeared in front of him again.

This gloomy scene made him feel at ease.

Finally back to the novice village.

After expressing his feelings like this, Su Fan started looking again.

With the previous experience, he became cautious in his actions. Before changing direction, he would always stop and make sure that Mengtou had no reaction before moving forward.

However, this also slowed down the pace of exploration.

Just as Su Fan was beginning to get anxious, a flash of red light at the end of his vision attracted his attention.

Following the red light, Su Fan actually saw a twisted and strange forest.

All the birch trees here do not grow upward normally. Each one is crooked and has a strange shape.

Su Fan walked forward and wanted to take a closer look, but suddenly he saw a human face with a distorted smile emerging from the birch tree!

As for this kind of mysterious thing, Su Fan raised his hand and directly threw out a wind blade.

The invisible sharp blade cut the birch tree in half. Fresh red blood flowed from the broken trunk, which looked extremely horrifying.

"Has the soul been melted into the birch tree?"

Su Fan frowned.

Someone's soul dissipated from the tree trunk that was just cut off.

Apparently, something had forced him into the birch tree.

Judging from the blood flowing from the birch tree, the mastermind behind this should be trying to transform the birch tree into a second body suitable for the soul to reside in.

Such an evil act, combined with the birch trees and the red light.

There is no need to explain what is on the other side of the woods.

Su Fan passed the tree that had just been chopped down and stepped onto the secluded path leading deep into the forest.

Along the way, in addition to birch trees, there are countless strange sights.

A wild cat with a human face, a pumpkin head that would suddenly pounce on Su Fan, and a short, strange creature covered in human skin.

These strange creatures all showed extremely strong aggressiveness and were ready to take Su Fan's life as soon as they appeared.

But unfortunately, Su Fan is much more aggressive than them.

Many times, they were destroyed by Su Fan before they even had the chance to reveal their hideous true faces.

After opening the gates of hell and finding himself in danger, he realized once again that he needed to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible.

He would not waste any of the things he encountered on the road and would kill them all.
