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

Chapter 323: Change of Mood; Call from London

Just when Su Fan was lamenting that he could not use the paper man avatar as freely as Jiuchengba, Alice on the side spoke.

"You just said you only killed one, right?"

"Yes...what's wrong?"

"nothing."

Alice looked at Su Fan, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

But Su Fan turned his head and said what he was thinking.

"I didn't kill indiscriminately. Are you surprised?"

Alice hesitated, then nodded slowly and carefully.

She thought it was "unreasonable" that the other party did not kill indiscriminately.

Although Su Fan's body structure is no different from that of humans, after a long period of observation, Alice has realized that the young man in front of her is completely not on the same level as ordinary people.

He has a stronger body and spirit, and can use his miraculous magic to know what will happen in the future in advance.

He can fight against evil spirits and even demons that ordinary people cannot contend with, and kill his opponents easily.

Normally speaking, his heart should have changed a long time ago.

Alice has seen countless newborn vampires.

No matter how docile and kind those men and women were when they were humans, their temperaments would always change drastically when they began to become vampires.

The main reason is of course the physiological desire for blood, but in Alice's view, the weakening of the original awe of life due to the increase in strength is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

The last diplomat of a great Eastern country once said that when one has a sharp weapon, the desire to kill will naturally arise.

As power expands, it is difficult for anyone to stay awake.

Su Fan himself can even completely ignore the laws of the world, yet he is still so restrained.

It's really incredible.

The young man in front of him did not answer immediately.

He seemed a little tired and confused.

Alice felt that Su Fan's temperament changed at this moment.

He was no longer the effortless and mysterious owner of the all-purpose store, but an ordinary young man whose body was supported by a recliner.

However, it only lasted for a moment.

"It's not as bad as you think, nor is it as good..."

Su Fan finally spoke, his tone was the same as usual, but he quickly changed the subject and smiled.

"You're a vampire and you're concerned about my humanity?"

"Can't you?"

Alice tilted her head and asked back.

Su Fan did not answer.

Because the other party is indeed qualified.

Although she is a vampire, her emotions are no different from those of humans.

As for moral standards, they are much stronger than those of Mikaelson and others whom he had killed before.

"...Today's store affairs are left to you. I'm going to take a rest for a while."

"it is good."

After hearing Alice's crisp reply, Su Fan returned to his room.

He sat at his desk, looking at the orange street lights falling in front of him through the window, and fell into deep thought.

Alice's impression of him was correct, in a sense.

He did have a tendency in this regard, and it became more serious as his cultivation level improved.

He realized this only after the incident with the mysterious book and when he began to cultivate his character.

[I was dragged into a fantasy world by the classics, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I realized the importance of cultivating my character in advance...]

If we continue to blindly enhance our strength and ignore the growth of our mind, we may soon be unable to adapt to the rules of human society.

But even if you are willing to change, that perspective and thinking that is detached from the world and looks down on your life will still reveal itself from time to time.

So, Su Fan’s current situation is just like his answer to Alice.

[Where are the high-level guides in the immortal cultivation novels? If not, you can just take me to the immortal sect.]

Su Fan joked to himself, raised the corner of his mouth and let out a breath.

Real life is not a novel. It cannot be simply brushed aside with a sentence about the difference between immortals and mortals.

He stood up and walked towards the bed.

The trauma of his soul has not yet fully recovered. In the future, he needs to get enough sleep like a normal person.

Su Fan, lying on the bed, no longer felt drowsy as before.

[This time, I will never enter another time and space again. ]

With such thoughts in mind, Su Fan finally fell asleep.

While Su Fan was lying comfortably in bed resting, there was a group of people in America who couldn't sleep at night.

Most of them were dignitaries who had had business dealings with Mikaelson in the past, and they should have attended the dinner in a decent manner to discuss many national affairs.

But now they all returned to their own manors, looking sullen.

The information that Mikaelson was dead did not just shock them.

The so-called media tycoons are nothing more than members of the shadow government, that is, the mouthpiece managers trained by big corporations.

Training a new one is time-consuming and laborious, but it is possible.

The question is who did it.

But before the group of behind-the-scenes consortium leaders could give any orders, even worse news arrived.

Some of the top-secret information in Mikaelson’s private mailbox and database was spread on the Internet!
As the dog of politicians and many bigwigs behind the scenes, the former has been exposed to too many secrets.

He secretly intercepted many letters and materials to protect himself at critical moments.

However, these things failed to save his life from the mysterious killer. Instead, they became tools for the former to confuse public opinion.

These text and image materials containing state secrets, political secrets, and scandals of bigwigs were all destroyed in less than half an hour, without even any remaining traces or screenshots.

The various forces usually seem to be fighting each other to the death, but at this moment they are very tacitly using the resources and power at hand to completely extinguish the fire that has not yet started.

A few scandals are handy tools for attacking each other, but this situation can be said to be a crisis for the entire top leadership.

Once that news gets out, the government's already limited credibility will be completely lost.

No force wants to see a country in chaos, so such swift action was taken.

The enemies who were against Mikaelson's backers were very enthusiastic about cleaning up the mess.

Isn’t this handle that is delivered to your door the best hand for winning consecutive games?
In contrast, the political and business celebrities involved in the emails and information were all furious.

The image that you have worked so hard to build over the years may be ruined. Not only that, you may also be caught by your opponents and lose the initiative in the confrontation.

The loss involved cannot be measured by money!
For a time, everyone involved in the incident hated Mikaelson to the core.

At the same time, there is a burning desire to kill the person who caused the current situation.

However, they now have no time to seek revenge on each other.

Because what is about to greet them is a surging wave of public opinion.

The next morning.

"Good morning, boss."

Alice came to work on time and greeted people as soon as she came up.

It was almost a holiday again, and this time when she came to work, she brought her own tackle box, apparently preparing for a big fishing trip after get off work.

But as soon as she entered the door, Alice noticed Su Fan's strange expression.

"What's wrong? You look like you didn't sleep well."

"fine."

Su Fan answered casually. Alice didn't take it seriously and took out the notebook she carried with her.

"Su, you missed so many things because you were sleeping."

"Last night, a large amount of secret information suddenly appeared on the Internet, including but not limited to where the military expenditures in the war went... the secret manipulation in the election..."

“Power-for-money transactions…political scandals…so exciting.”

Alice marveled at this while searching through the computer for the data that she had saved offline yesterday.

But Su Fan had no interest in these.

Because he asked the astrologer ghost to do all this.

It turns out that this move is extremely effective.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Commissioner Smith's $50 cart, and few people were paying attention to the so-called supernatural events and the exorcist.

After all, you can't encounter evil spirits at any time, but taxes have to be paid every month.

They are the ones who are supporting a bunch of idiots who throw parties all day long and embezzle money, and yet they shamelessly say every day that it's all for them.

I bother!

Angry taxpayers have begun spreading the news to each other and preparing to organize protest marches.

It’s just that the websites and discussion groups where they gather always malfunction for unknown reasons, or disband on their own…

As for who did it, it should be a network problem~~
However, even with intentional suppression, it was never able to form a large scale, which was enough to make the group behind it suffer.

Not only can it cause trouble to the other party, but it can also screen out those busybodies who really need exorcism commissions and those who are driven by curiosity.

Kill two birds with one stone.

But at this time, Su Fan didn't pay much attention to the development of the situation, but rather whether he yawned or not.

Because he really didn't sleep well last night.

After the incident with Katie and her brother, Su Fan did not encounter the special situation of last time, but he still had a weird dream.

In the dream, he turned into an outer disciple of an immortal sect. After successful practice, he was able to participate in the meeting where the sect's disciples chose their own weapons.

The place where the weapons are placed is called Zanggun Peak.

Since he was indeed in a dream state, Su Fan subconsciously ignored the inappropriateness of this name.

He followed his fellow junior brothers and sisters into the room and took out his own crowbar.

Since then, he has been on a rapid rise and has become the soul figure of the younger generation of the Immortal Sect, leading the way.

His skill in controlling the stick is so good that even the elders of the sect cannot compare to him.

While traveling around the world with a sword... no, a stick, Su Fan also met many female friends.

I just don’t know why these close female friends all look like people from other countries, and I can’t describe how familiar they are.

These beauties with different temperaments and beauty surrounded Su Fan, and a party struggle that was well-received was unfolding.

In the end, with Su Fan's words "You are all my wings", everyone was happily convinced and obeyed him.

However, what made Su Fan most nervous was the crowbar that appeared several times in the middle.

This thing completely replaced the sword and was used as the main weapon by myself in the dream.

Thinking of him swinging the sword with that thing in a relaxed and easy manner, Su Fan had the urge to cover his face.

But it also reflects another looming problem.

[It’s about time to get a real spiritual sword. ]

Although the swords used before were made with modern forged steel technology and were sharp and solid, they were still just ordinary objects.

After following Su Fan through battles of all sizes, it was almost completely damaged.

Moreover, it has disadvantages such as being inconvenient to carry and being unable to be used in special occasions.

Just as Su Fan was thinking this, the phone on the side suddenly rang.

Alice picked up the receiver deftly.

……

Inside a house in London.

A sturdy young man walked to the window and looked outside vigilantly, as if he was on guard against something.

Only after confirming it was safe did I draw the curtains.

He turned and headed inside the house.

The simple furnishings only have basic living functions. It is obvious that he has just moved in not long ago.

When passing by the table, the young man stopped and picked up a photo frame from it.

In the photo frame, the red-haired woman and the young man stood side by side with smiles on their faces.

The young man wiped off the dust on it with his hand and put it back in its place with great care.

He looked up at the opposite wall.

There was no decoration on the wall, only a huge mirror covered by a white cloth.

[That was not a dream...]

He thought to himself, reached out to pick up the receiver of the landline phone, and started dialing with his other hand...

……

"Hello……"

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Su Fan's antique shop?"

"Yes, please tell me if you have anything to say..."

"Can you please ask him to talk to me in person?"

The voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little nervous. Alice covered the phone and looked at Su Fan.

Only when he saw the latter extending his hand did he reply.

"No problem, just wait a moment."

After handing the receiver to Su Fan on the other side, Alice returned to her seat.

If you are so hesitant, you definitely are not doing business.

As for the exorcism, let him handle it personally.

But strangely, after answering the phone, Su Fan didn't say anything.

With Alice's keen hearing, she could clearly hear the noise coming from the other end of the phone.

"is it you?"

The speaker was so cautious that his breathing seemed to be trembling.

"Well, should I say long time no see?"

After Su Fan's calm voice was heard, there was a low cry of suppressed ecstasy from the other end of the receiver!
The caller seemed overly excited and his movements bumped into the surrounding furnishings, but even so, he didn't care at all!
Su Fan listened to the familiar voice and a smile appeared on his face.

He had met the other person before, or rather, he had met him in a dream.

Tom, Katie's brother, the frail young man who liked the gym.

Now that the other party can talk to me, it proves one thing.

His actions in the dream did change history and have an impact on the present!

If Katie's life was saved, he would naturally not be detained again as a mentally ill person who killed his sister as the original historical trajectory had indicated.

However, Su Fan was still a little surprised that the other party found the antique shop's phone number so quickly.

He is indeed quite famous now, but he is only somewhat well-known within the United States.

It is still somewhat difficult to find relevant information in the UK.

But soon, the other party's next sentence made Su Fan's smile freeze.

"It's really you, the great crowbar god!"
