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

Chapter 337: Night visit to the police station, bloody sacrifice
"It doesn't matter. It's not fair that you're the only one saying that."

Compared to the cautious Amber, Katie is much more generous.

"It's just that I don't have much to say specifically. It's very cliché that I got into trouble with some troublesome people. That guy should be trying to find out about me now."

"Gangsters?"

This was Anbei's first reaction.

Many homeless people and refugees who had just arrived in London could not make a living because they were not eligible to enter the relief station, so they had to go to the gangs to borrow money at high interest rates.

Once you get involved with this thing, there's no hope of turning things around in your life, so it's not uncommon for debtors to run away.

"Well, that's about right."

Katie was still thinking about which statement to use, but Amber gave the answer himself.

The ghost nun was pitch black and kept chasing after them, trying to snatch the mirror that she and Tom had saved for Su Fan, and she was full of murderous intent towards both of them.

Yes, it’s a gangster for sure.

"So you have to hide in the house all this time? No...work?"

Katie has an excellent figure, appearance and temperament, exactly like the urban white-collar beauty that Amber imagined.

The first time I saw him, I ruled out the idea that he was engaged in the sex industry.

"You still have to go out and have a look once in a while. You can't be unaware of anything when someone comes to your door, right?"

But what An Bei said was also true. The money she had now was only enough for one month's living expenses. Not to mention that there was no room for error in case of emergencies, living off her savings was not a solution.

"Anbei, is there any place nearby that is hiring for temporary work? Please introduce them to me."

"Actually, the factory where I work seems to be hiring recently. How about you come with me tomorrow to try it out? Although the boss there is a bit annoying."

"What exactly is it like?"

"Forget it. I don't want to spread negative energy. Once I open my mouth, I will probably become a nagging and difficult old lady in the community."

Katie was about to make a joke when she heard it, but suddenly noticed that Amber, who was talking to her energetically just a second ago, now looked tired and his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

"Are you tired? Go back and rest..."

Before she could finish her words, the girl laid down on the table.

"Amber?"

The call had no effect, so Katie immediately stood up and checked the situation.

His breathing was even and it looked like he was really asleep.

Seeing this, Katie began to feel doubtful.

Falling into sleep so quickly and uncontrollably...is this girl suffering from some special disease?
Unable to wake the other person up, Katie took a coat from the hanger next to her and prepared to cover Amber with it, but just as she approached the other person again, a warning sign suddenly arose in Katie's heart!
The lights in the room suddenly went out. Katie turned her head sharply and saw a woman standing in front of the closed door with a strange smile on her face.

Undead?!

Katie didn't hesitate. She tapped the tip of her right thumb and quickly recited a spell in her mind. Just as the sword finger was about to take shape, the lights in the room suddenly came back on.

The sudden change between light and darkness made Katie's eyes unable to adapt to the sudden change and she paused for a moment. When she looked at the door again, it was empty.

Katie was silent for a moment and sat back in her original seat.

Not long after, Amber woke up slowly. After realizing that she had fallen asleep suddenly, she apologized to Katie very awkwardly.

"I'm very sorry. I've been having some strange dreams recently, so my sleep quality isn't that good and I'm always dozing off."

"What strange dream?"

"It's nothing special. I just dreamed about my deceased mother... and a strange box..."

Having said this, Anbei suddenly stopped talking, with a hint of fear flashing across his face.

"It's just a boring nightmare of a sleepy person, nothing special."

"Thank you for your hospitality today. If you are interested in working in my factory, you can wait for me at the door of the room at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. I live next door."

"Yeah, okay, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After sending Amber off, Katie closed the door and let out a worried sigh.

I encountered a paranormal phenomenon on the first day I moved in. Was moving here really the right decision?
-

Many policemen gathered together in the police station at night.

Among them, a police officer was reporting the situation.

"The murderer was found on a road about 2,000 meters away from the crime scene, and was brought back by two police officers who were on patrol."

"According to the murderer, his mental state was extremely unstable at the time and he saw many hallucinations... He felt that he must have been bewitched by the devil."

"Any record of taking illegal drugs?"

The plainclothes officer leaning back in his chair and holding a ballpoint pen asked.

"No, the murderer is in very good health. Neither his family nor he has any history of mental illness."

"In this case, we cannot rule out the possibility that the other party fabricated lies in order to evade legal sanctions."

Another person sitting at the desk with his hands in his pockets said so.

"If it was in the past, it could be said so, but don't forget that in America, the topic of the supernatural is very popular."

"Some people have already started proposing to the government to include relevant laws in the constitution."

“Until it’s actually implemented, there’s no need to pay too much attention to it.”

“However, similar cases have also occurred in other police stations’ jurisdictions.”

The police officer in charge of reporting handed over the prepared information in his folder for everyone to circulate.

"Ten days ago, a female body was found in the woods by the roadside. The deceased, like the suspect in this crime, had been stabbed thirteen times."

"But the suspect is currently missing..."

"Twenty days ago, a priest committed suicide at the door of the church. Inside the church, there are the bodies of the clergymen he killed..."

"The deceased also had thirteen stab wounds on his body."

The number thirteen is a rather unlucky number in Western beliefs, but the murderers of these three murders all chose this number.

It's hard not to think of religious fanatics.

It’s just like the Manson family’s home invasion and murder incident that shocked the whole of America.

For a moment, the gazes of all the police officers in the room turned strangely.

Because at this moment, the murderer who had completed the physical examination was sitting there, in a trance.

"Just let him die, and you will be the ones who will suffer next."

Suddenly, a voice came from not far away.

The plainclothes police officers and detectives all turned around and saw a young Asian man.

The latter entered here at some point, silently.

"Who are you? If you're calling the police for help, please wait outside."

Someone in the middle was confused and his tone became a little unfriendly.

This office is where they discuss the case, and not just anyone can enter to listen.

The plainclothes officer sitting at the desk stood up and went to the door to see off the uninvited guest.

But the next moment, the figure in front of him suddenly disappeared.

While he was still confused, his colleagues behind him already had expressions as if they had seen a ghost, and each of them was facing a powerful enemy!

Because the Asian youth who was standing at the door just now crossed the distance from the door to here in the blink of an eye and came in front of them. Those who had guns on their waists subconsciously put their hands down and prepared to draw their guns.

"Everyone, I advise you not to act rashly."

The young man's voice was extremely calm, but it made the police officers who wanted to draw their guns pause.

At this moment, they seemed to feel the cold blade pressing on their necks. If it was pressed a little deeper, it would break the skin and ooze out deep red blood!
"what do you want to do?"

Among the crowd, only the plainclothes officer leaning on the chair immediately accepted the current situation and asked questions.

"It's very simple. In the next few hours, keep an eye on the murderer you just locked up and don't let him commit suicide."

"why?"

"To save the lives of other people within your jurisdiction."

"Are you his relative? Or a friend?"

"Do you think I'm threatening you with killing other people? Don't think too much about it, just take it literally."

The Asian youth spoke calmly.

"you……"

At this moment, the plainclothes policeman who had stood up from the table earlier screamed in horror.

"Are you the exorcist that appeared on the psychic show?! Aren't you in America?"

Exorcist?!

After hearing this name, many police officers once again focused their attention on the young man in the middle.

First, he didn't have a cross, and second, he didn't carry a Bible. The aura he displayed just now was more like that of a butcher who had killed countless people than a clergyman who saved people.

The man sitting on the chair realized something after hearing his colleague's exclamation of disbelief, and spoke again.

"It seems that this matter is really related to supernatural phenomena... I wonder if there is enough time to give us an explanation."

"Let me help you solve your doubts."

Just at this moment, another figure opened the door and walked in.

"My name is Tom, and I'm his temporary assistant."

Wearing gloves, he took out a strangely shaped black wooden sculpture of a goat's head from a black plastic bag.

"We found this thing under the floor of the crime scene. It is also the culprit of this incident."

"We had visited two other police stations before visiting here. We found the same items there."

"What's wrong with this?"

“Yes… um…”

The young man named Tom was suddenly stuck after saying this and could only look awkwardly at his companion standing in the middle of the crowd, the Asian young man who had subdued all of them.

"This is the necessary medium needed to inflict the curse."

The young man spoke briefly and to the point.

"It is filled with evil energy. It is not a problem to hide it normally, but once the caster starts to act, it will seize the mind of the cursed person and make them do crazy things that ordinary people would never expect."

"You mean, the murderer in our custody was also manipulated by someone to commit the murder."

The plainclothes officer on the chair sounded suspicious.

"Your statement alone, without any evidence, is really unconvincing."

The young man heard this and raised his hand gently without saying too much.

The water cup on the table automatically flew up and landed steadily in his palm without spilling a drop of water.

This scene had already shocked the police on the scene, but what happened next completely shattered their previous worldview!
The young man took out a piece of yellow paper with mysterious characters on it from his arms and shook it gently, and flames suddenly rose up.

The burnt ashes fell into the water cup and instantly melted into it.

The young man flicked his fingers and shot towards the eyes of everyone present.

The cool water drops fell into the policemen's eyes and they blinked subconsciously. It was this action that caused the water drops to soak the entire eyeballs.

"Damn it, what did you do to our eyes..."

Before the police could ask any questions, they were all stunned.

In their vision, the goat head wooden sculpture, which was originally ordinary except for being a little shabby, was actually surging with a thick black aura like mud.

The heart-pounding evil flowed through the fingers of the young man named Tom and disappeared into the air.

Needless to say, it was a shudder of fear emanating from the depths of the soul.

Anyone who sees it can instinctively know at the first moment that it is definitely not a good thing!

"Do you have the evidence?"

"..."

The police officers at the scene looked at each other and finally nodded.

"Did you come to London just to solve this incident?"

"That's it."

After getting the answer, the plainclothes officers at the scene immediately showed reverence on their faces.

The other party did not reveal much information from beginning to end.

But they can already piece together the "truth" behind it in their minds.

In order to investigate the terrifying supernatural events that have killed people, a highly skilled exorcist traveled thousands of miles to a foreign country.

All of this is to protect the safety of the citizens and prevent demons and dangers from threatening the peaceful lives of ordinary people.

This event, which seemed like something out of an ancient heroic biography, was actually happening right before their eyes.

As a witness, how could I not be overwhelmed with emotion?

However, Su Fan, the person involved, had no idea what the other party was thinking.

All he could think about now was the curse.

soul.

Human souls can greatly enhance the power of demons.

Blaspheming God and defiling pure souls to bring them depravity will greatly benefit the devil.

This is evidenced by the fact that Malthus once hoped to harvest the souls of Father Andrew, a clergyman, and Anne, a believer.

According to the other two cases, the other party's hunting targets even included kind and sensible children and couples who truly loved each other.

These three represent purity, love and faith.

Perhaps this is the standard requirement of the sacrificial ceremony.

[Tom responded that murders occurred wherever they went, and the clergy around them died. In fact, it was the devil harvesting souls in order to restore its power.]

The murderers of the other two cases, one committed suicide by slitting his throat, and the other's whereabouts are unknown, and it is likely that he will also be in danger.

From this we can see that the final suicide of the manipulated puppet may also be a necessary part of the ritual.

And the more the enemy wants to do something, the less likely Su Fan will let him do it!

Even if this ghost nun goes to the toilet, Su Fan will blow it up!
The reason why Su Fan wanted to protect the controlled person instead of dispelling the curse directly was that he was worried about alerting the enemy and allowing the other party to smell the movement and escape early.

[Sacrifices and item search. This ghost nun has come up with so many tricks to recover her strength.]
