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

Chapter 406

"No need to panic."

Su Fan didn't know the real reason why Liam was surprised, he just thought that he was frightened by the change in the floor.

"It's just a little trick."

He made complicated hand seals and muttered something, and after just a moment, a clear air was released.

Liam didn't know what was happening. He just saw that the gray fog around him, which seemed to be fixed, was destroyed, as if an invisible pair of hands was tearing it apart.

Although it was not the first time that he had seen a scene that went against common sense, he could not help but feel dazed.

The extraordinary things that had been regarded as illusory in life for the past forty years have appeared one after another in the past year, shaking the government's rule.

Most of the powers they possess violate the common sense that humans have always relied on.

In order to control this group of suddenly rising forces, heated discussions were held internally, and ultimately the decision was made to focus on winning them over.

Overnight, a government-exclusive supernatural organization came into being.

Facts have proved that most of the extraordinary people who come from civilian backgrounds are not aware, or simply do not realize the effectiveness of the power they hold in their hands.

They treat their own power as a commodity, selling it to the powerful in exchange for opportunities for class advancement.

I never thought that he could replace me.

Therefore, Liam always has some contempt for these so-called extraordinary people in his heart.

It's like watching a mentally retarded child playing with the Dragon Slaying Sword. It's dangerous, but not too dangerous.

This idea was not broken until the disgusting flesh whiskers appeared before him.

Just as the fat civil servant was daydreaming, a drop of sticky liquid suddenly fell on his face.

Liam subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, and saw a dazzling red.

is blood!

Before he started screaming, he saw an even more horrifying scene.

A limb that looked like a human arm fell from the sky and landed on the ground in front of it.

Logically, a limb that was disconnected from the body would just twitch a few times, but this arm with no skin but only flesh and blood was showing its fangs and claws, and even a mouth full of sharp teeth appeared on it.

It jumped up from the ground and was about to bite Liam's neck with its huge mouth, but was cut into pieces by an invisible blade in mid-air.

Liam looked up subconsciously and saw a scene he would never forget.

Countless pairs of similar arms appeared out of thin air in the gray mist that lingered on the ceiling, underfoot and even in the air.

They continued to lengthen, moving towards the young man in the middle and himself, but were ruthlessly chopped into pieces.

Compared to him, who was sitting on the ground with weak legs, the young man next to him was much calmer.

He stood there without even extending his hands, but countless wind blades continued to burst out from around him.

Under this intensive attack, the originally untouchable gray fog has been shattered.

The violent airflow lifted the young man's slightly long black hair, and his pair of black jade-like pupils showed no joy or sadness.

The monsters in the gray fog were cut down by the wind blades before they could fully reveal their hideous faces.

When everything calmed down, Liam looked at the dense and criss-crossing cuts around him and couldn't help swallowing.

There is hardly any intact open space on such a large floor.

I have heard other extraordinary people jokingly say that those with wind attributes are the most useless. Although they seem to be able to cause huge damage, they can only rely on the wind to blow other objects to attack. Their actual killing power is not as good as that of those with telekinesis.

At the time, Liam thought it made some sense, but now he just wants to say "bullshit" to that person.

He looked around carefully.

The condensed gray mist was quickly dispersed, and the dense wind blades cut it into pieces while seeming to "evaporate" part of it.

It seems that this young exorcist seems to possess a special power that can slightly restrain the fog created by the cult.

He was so focused that he didn't notice a fist-sized ball of gray mist gradually drifting towards him.

It wasn't until a gray-black sharp claw suddenly stretched out and reached for the neck that Liam came back to his senses.

The excavator moved extremely fast, and its sharp nails had already touched Liam's skin, about to break through the skin and pull out his bronchus. The familiar wind blade finally arrived.

Liam’s face turned pale, and he subconsciously covered his neck, not noticing Su Fan’s intriguing expression not far away.

The final episode did not cause much impact, and the fog that shrouded the surroundings was quickly dispelled.

"Scared me."

Liam, whose throat was almost cut, was able to breathe now. Fortunately, the cold mist around him was dispelled by Su Fan, so he didn't feel as painful breathing as before.

"This fog wasn't that scary before. Damn it, how could it be so fast?"

He was terrified and could only curse to relieve his fear, and the information he revealed also made Su Fan quite interested.

"You said it so quickly... Do you know some information about the current situation?"

"of course I know."

If I hadn't shown enough value, I would have been slaughtered by you long ago.

Liam thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it at all, so he could only continue to explain honestly.

"At that time, the leader mentioned to his subordinates that the longer a place was occupied by the cult and the gray fog, the greater the changes would be... At that time, I was not quite sure what the changes were. Now..."

First, the building itself was replaced by flesh and blood, and then the thick fog lowered the temperature and caused new changes.

Even the size of the interior space has changed.

"What kind of devil's cave is this?"

Liam sat on the ground, seemingly ignoring the dark red mass of flesh wriggling on the ground.

"We can't get out."

"What you said is exactly the same as what I heard in the recording of the victim."

"is it?"

Listening to the voice of the young man next to him, Liam laughed miserably, looking completely hopeless.

"But maybe we still have time to think of last words... What do you do?!"

Before he could finish his words, the young man beside him grabbed his collar and easily lifted him up.

"Things haven't reached that point yet. Stop saying discouraging words here. It's annoying to hear."

Liam suddenly panicked. He struggled hard and kept shaking his hands and feet in the air.

"Put me down...Ah!"

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly fell to the ground. Due to his unstable center of gravity, he almost fell flat on his face.

"You asked me to put it down."

A faint voice came from above.

Liam turned his head and stared at the other person's calm face in disbelief.

The fact that the young man had saved him previously gave him some trust and affection for him, but now he realized how wrong he was.

The other person's character is so bad.

"You said earlier that you heard some key information about the ritual. Tell me now and I will destroy it."

Everything he saw was created by the cult. If he hadn't been concerned about the people still inside the building, he wouldn't mind just starting a bombing campaign and leveling the entire building. But it didn't work.

Although that would solve the problem, the cost would be too high.

He wants to find the optimal solution to this problem.

Therefore, the information from this fat man is extremely important.

When Liam heard what the other party said, he did not answer immediately, but evaded the question.

"I just heard a little bit of news, it may not be completely true..."

"Can you forget what happened less than five hours ago?"

"There's nothing we can do about it..."

"Can't remember now?"

"Can't remember."

"you sure."

"……Sure."

Su Fan crossed his arms and looked at the greasy fat man opposite him leisurely.

"Have you heard of the Great Memory Restoration Technique?"

"What great memory recovery technique?"

"In short, it is a method of hitting the head with all your strength to refresh the mind and restore memory."

The young man moved his wrists and snapped his fingers, and suddenly there was a series of crackling sounds.

When Liam saw the malicious smile on Su Fan's lips, he shuddered suddenly and his expression suddenly became stern.

"But if I think carefully, I will be able to provide useful information. Please be patient."

"You're so polite. How can I force it?"

"No, I don't force myself. I also want to defeat the enemy's plot as soon as possible and avenge the people in distress. Everything I say comes from my heart and is a word of justice."

Within seconds, Liam's eyes lit up and he raised a finger.

"I didn't hear the key to the ritual clearly, but they seemed to have drawn a very important picture on the wall of the lower floor. It is the key to connecting this side and the other side, and there is a constant stream of gray mist coming out of it."

"How many pictures are there, and how do they relate to each other?"

Since it is a passage, it is impossible to have only one point. A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and the same is true for the treacherous and evil cult members.

They planned today's action for a long time in advance, which was time-consuming and laborious, and the plan must have been thorough.

"There is indeed more than one painting. They are scattered in various corners of the lower floor of this building. As long as one of them is not destroyed, the others will be restored within a certain period of time."

"And once we start, it will alert the cult members who are monitoring the status of the painting. Then they will suddenly appear from different places and launch an attack."

"Don't tell me you haven't seen anything like this."

I saw it, of course I saw it.

In the mysterious light technique, those believers wearing black robes and with pointy heads suddenly appeared from the flesh and blood, knocked Hariya and her group unconscious and took them away.

Although the previously crushed vampire was a factor, the enemy's elusive movements did leave a deep impression on Su Fan.

"I can lead the way for you, but remember to tell me before you do anything so I can stay away."

Liam shrank his neck, looking extremely cowardly.

How could a mortal like him stand by and watch the fight between gods? Who knows if this big guy will get excited and send a wind blade to cut off his head.

"How can this be done?"

Su Fan looked "surprised".

"Have you forgotten the attack in the gray fog? Once you step out of the five-meter radius around me, you will inevitably be attacked by the believers."

"I will have to deal with the enemy and protect you at the same time. I will be in a disadvantageous position if I cannot take care of both ends. You should stay with me."

Liam felt like there was something stuck in his throat.

They are already thousand-year-old foxes, why are they still playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?

He had long seen that the young man opposite him did not fully trust him, and the so-called disadvantageous position was just an excuse. In fact, he wanted to keep his life firmly in his hands before he felt at ease.

He is obviously a young man, why is he so cautious?
Put yourself in his shoes. If you had similar strength, your muscles would have controlled your brain and strength would have replaced thinking.

"Are you unhappy? Or is the information you provided untrue?"

"Of course I am happy to do so. I am just a little flattered that such a powerful transcendent like you can escort me."

Liam laughed dryly.

"I will show you the way now."

He walked quickly forward, came in front of Su Fan, and walked towards the deeper part.

Since the guide Liam was an ordinary person, the travel speed was not very fast along the way.

For a long time, the only sounds on the silent and empty road were the footsteps of two people.

Finally, Liam couldn't help but strike up a conversation.

Although chatting does not actually bring people closer together, at least it makes you feel better when you have someone to talk to in this quiet space.

"This building was built not long ago, and it is still the preferred place for many politicians to meet and hang out. I have heard that many important decisions are made from Downing Street, but they are actually made here."

"Really? How did you know that?"

"Sir, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Once a secret is revealed by the first person who knows it, it is no different from being made public."

"You are right, but the transmission of information and resources is from top to bottom."

Su Fan smiled warmly.

"From the way you talk and behave, you should be more than just a clerk in the government. How about telling me more about your previous work experience on the way?"

"They are all trivial matters, nothing much to say. My position is not high, otherwise I would not be sent here as cannon fodder."

Liam changed the subject.

"Sir, why did you come all the way from America to here?"

"For an important person like you, how can the big shots over there let you act alone?"

Su Fan quickly understood what Liam meant after hearing this.

The concentration of resources in the United States is comparable to that in Britain. This old hand who has been working in the government for many years naturally regards Su Fan as a member of the government agency.

In addition, just like the other extraordinary people in the top-floor banquet hall, they were wooed by big figures in the business and political circles and became something like guest officials.

The curve of Su Fan's mouth was meaningful.

If it hadn't happened before, it would have been possible, but it happened before I came to Britain.

Media tycoon Mikaelson took great pains to protect himself from a lot of negative information, but he just spread it around without paying for it.

Not only did it attract the attention of the grassroots people and almost set off a public opinion frenzy, it also handed a knife to other countries.

So much time has passed, they must have already found relevant clues. To remain silent would simply mean that they lack the confidence to kill with one strike.

One or two of them wanted to grind Su Fan into ashes, but they didn't dare to do anything.
