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

Chapter 30 The dust has settled, and the original truth
Nightmare prayer?

Su Fan carefully recalled the description of this unfamiliar term.

[Is it equivalent to an illusion? ]

After understanding, Su Fan was quite satisfied.

Illusion is a magical power with a huge upper and lower limit.

If you don't know how to play, you can only make the other person dazed for a while and that's it.

For those who know how to play it well, refer to the character of Aizen Sosuke in the anime "Bleach" that we watched in our previous life. He is so amazing.

Su Fan expressed his liking for this kind of magical power that relies on manipulation.

"Is everything over?"

Carl was in shock.

"ended."

The detective breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as Su Fan doesn't catch up or make any more moves, it's a sign that the problem has been solved."

During the incident with Mary Shaw, Su Fan moved to four different locations many times in one night and defeated all of Mary Shaw's backup plans in four places.

The keen insight he demonstrated made the detectives have almost 100% trust in Su Fan.

"let's go."

As the detective was speaking, he suddenly found that the amulet in his hand suddenly shattered.

The same is true for Carl.

Seeing this, the former was shocked.

He clearly remembered that the reason he was able to come in was all thanks to this amulet.

Without this thing, wouldn't I...

"The curse that absorbs human life is placed between the floor and the basement..."

Just as the detective was panicking, Su Fan's voice came from the front.

"I've lifted up the floor, and the person is dead, so what is there to be afraid of?"

After hearing the explanation, the detective let out a sigh, turned around and saw Karl looking a little confused, and coughed.

"Go and tie that guy up."

Carl woke up as if from a dream and went to do as he was told. The detective looked at Carl, who was a step slow, and didn't say much.

Today, this kid has seen too many scenes that are beyond common sense. The things he firmly believed in the past have been shattered. Now it takes time to rebuild his cognition.

Moreover, it was an emergency and he was the only one who went down with me. He was a real man.

To sum up, the detective had a good impression of this kid and gave him a certain degree of understanding.

"Su, are you okay?"

The detective came forward and asked about Su Fan's physical condition.

"It doesn't matter."

Su Fan waved his hand and handed over the small revolver in his hand.

After the detective took it with his handkerchief, he glanced at Luke, who was being dragged on the ground by Carl like a dead dog.

"He clearly had a pistol, why didn't he take it out right away?"

“Maybe it’s because of self-confidence.”

Su Fan thought about it.

Relying on the fact that he had lived a few more years, he thought that he could definitely deal with the people coming down. When he saw that Su Fan was unarmed, he became even more unscrupulous.

To be fair, this guy's fighting skills are pretty good among ordinary people, but meeting Su Fan is his retribution.

Later, he realized he couldn't win and wanted to use a gun, but with half of his body almost crippled, how could he threaten Su Fan?

However, none of this matters anymore.

Su Fan walked to the center of the broken formation and checked Max's condition on the ground.

Although the soul has left the body, the time is not long and there will be no sequelae.

In order to ensure that there was no curse left, Su Fan specially used his Qi to check it before he felt at ease to pick it up.

"Detective, come and help. Bring this kid out, too."

Su Fan gestured to Daniel in the corner.

In this way, the three of them each took one person and left the basement.

……

After that, the police investigated the welfare home.

But nothing was found.

The detectives somehow managed to fool the police, and the incident was classified as a cult abduction.

Although it was a trick, Su Fan guessed that the detective was telling the truth, but no one believed it.

Many people subconsciously believe that supernatural events do not exist unless they have experienced them personally.

The two children, Max and Daniel, were fine except for being too frightened.

Although Ms. Kate suffered very serious injuries, she received emergency treatment in the hospital and survived.

During the hospitalization, Su Fan visited him several times.

During this time, seeing her depressed because of her husband's death, I felt mixed emotions. With Lina's half-baked skills, she should not be able to completely distort the will of an adult. The reason for the quarrel and the breakup was partly due to John's own reasons.

In other words, her husband might not love her as much as he seems.

However, there was no need for Su Fan to destroy the image of her deceased husband in the other party's mind. He just gave her a calming talisman to ensure that Kate would not be affected in her recovery due to excessive grief.

Daniel and Max are in the same hospital and often come to visit.

Females are weak, but mothers are strong.

Kate's mood gradually cheered up when she saw the children with gauze still on their bodies coming to comfort her.

Seeing this, Su Fan also understood that there was probably no problem with the latter.

After this incident, both Max and Daniel have changed significantly. The former is closer to his mother Kate than before, while the latter has become silent and keeps to himself.

One day, after the visit, Su Fan was about to go back, but was stopped by Daniel.

I thought the latter would continue to speak outrageously, but what I didn't expect was an apology.

"I'm so sorry for saying that to you before. I sincerely thank you for saving my life and the lives of my family."

"I will always remember this kindness."

What Daniel said was not just polite talk.

After Kate was discharged from the hospital, she sent Su Fan a check to thank him and invited him to dinner, but Su Fan declined.

It's really hard to accept the money from this orphan and widow, so let's just forget it.

After a while, the detective who had disappeared for a long time came to visit.

"These past few days, I went to Louisiana to investigate the house that was left to the nuns and visited many of the surrounding residents."

"They told me all the rumors about the villa."

The detective sat opposite Su Fan and told him what he had seen and heard in the past few days.

"The villa once belonged to a wealthy white family with a pair of children. They bought a couple of black slaves to serve as housekeepers."

"At a party one day, the two searched everywhere for the child and finally discovered that the black couple was secretly teaching their child voodoo in the attic."

"They were so angry that, under the instigation of many guests, they hanged the black couple directly."

"After that, strange things happened in the villa one after another, and finally the white man killed his wife and then committed suicide. Locals said that this was the revenge of the ghosts of the black couple."

The detective took a sip of tea and sighed.

"Now combined with the magic that those two guys used to exchange souls, the truth should be."

"During the banquet that day, the two exchanged their souls with the child's body, so the one who was actually hanged was the white couple's own child."

"It was probably that the white rich man was told the truth and couldn't bear the shock, so he killed his wife and then committed suicide."

"I never thought that we would be facing a pair of old monsters who have lived for nearly a hundred years."

The detective sighed but also had doubts.

"You said, the couple clearly already have new bodies, why would they risk being discovered and perform the ritual again?"

"If it were me, I would definitely settle down in that house over in New Orleans."

"They have done this before, but greed is the key."

Su Fan spoke up and answered the detective's questions.

As their voodoo skills improved and they became bolder, they began to think about stealing other people's property.

Using her identity as the director of the orphanage, the black woman quickly selected the Coleman family as her perfect prey.

First he pretended to know nothing and sent Lina over to destroy family harmony and alienate Kate and John.

He took advantage of Lina's abnormal psychology, killed the two people, and then used a magic circle to kill Lina to silence her.

In the end, she exchanged her soul and her husband's soul with Max and Daniel and inherited the family business.

The many flaws after the soul exchange can also be covered up by mental attacks.

It's perfect.

The entire process, except for the final ceremony, was handled perfectly by both of them, and there was no evidence.

With this style of behavior, if anything went wrong in any part, I'm afraid the two would immediately stop and flee thousands miles away.

At that time, in such a vast sea of ​​people, where can we find two people who deliberately concealed their identities?

There is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief on guard against a thousand days.

Su Fan wanted to kill these two guys right here to avoid any more trouble.

"But Max and Daniel are brother and sister... Could it be that they are planning to..."

The detective was shocked when he discovered the blind spot.

"The evil rituals with serious side effects, as well as their souls that decayed over time, have long distorted their minds."

“The physical sibling relationship is not an obstacle, but makes it more exciting.”

"Besides, didn't you just say that the first pair they chose were a pair of siblings?"

Su Fan's words took the detective a long time to recover from his shock.

“It was really unexpected.”

If I were to say what is unexpected, you are the one who surprised me.

Su Fan complained inwardly and took a sip of tea.
