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

Chapter 407

Liam's inquiry took a long time to get an answer, and he wondered if he had talked about something that shouldn't be mentioned.

Just as he was thinking about how to avoid this sensitive topic, Su Fan finally spoke.

"I have no connection with the powerful in America. They can't control me."

"Does being extraordinary necessarily have to be associated with the upper echelons of society?"

of course.

Anyone who can make it to the top has an extraordinary sense of smell.

When the extraordinary first appeared, the British upper class realized that it was something more valuable than political resources.

Violence in the absolute sense.

As long as your abilities are of some use, people in higher positions will immediately extend an olive branch to you.

The competition for the extraordinary has already begun and continues to this day. In this multi-party competition, no extraordinary person can remain immune.

The rest are scattered and weak, which is fine, but how can we allow a being like this young man who possesses terrifying power to wander around outside?
How could they sleep? Anyway, if you put yourself in Liam's shoes, you will find that he can't sleep.

"Well, it seems that I took it for granted. After all, America is much younger than Britain, and freedom is the foundation on which they founded their country. Large numbers of immigrants left their homes and went there because it is a beacon of freedom and human rights."

Su Fan turned his head and glanced at the fat man.

When a person's sarcasm is just right, you can't even tell whether he is being sarcastic or complimenting you.

The Liam in front of him was obviously someone who understood this well. His tone of voice was very similar to that of a minister in a well-known political drama he had seen in his previous life. He was indeed a British government official.

"If you don't mind, could you tell me about your life in America? It's about three minutes away from our destination, so we can chat for a while."

"Just think of it as maintaining my pitifully weak spirit."

After listening, Su Fan chuckled.

Worried about the immigrants mentioned earlier causing him displeasure? Be very cautious.

Unlike some immigrants who are self-conscious and sensitive, Su Fan never feels uncomfortable because of his bloodline or appearance.

"You have been able to hide here for so long. Your spirit does not need my sympathy. I believe that basic honesty is needed between people to build trust, and trust is the cornerstone of all communication."

"Well... Actually, I helped a gentleman solve a small problem during my term. He was grateful and helped me find a job in Los Angeles, California. I can take up the position when I leave office."

"Abandon your homeland and move to another place? Tell me your reasons."

Except for very few special cases, most people's network of contacts is limited to the city where they work and live.

Even if this fat man has abundant connections, he would not go so far as to become a second-class citizen in Britain.

"The reason is actually very simple. It's a safety issue. If London is like this, where else in the whole of Britain can be safe?"

London is a city that combines economy and politics, and all the bigwigs from Britain gather here. You can imagine the level of security and law and order here.

But the emergence of Chaofan broke this law, and a group of lunatics using mysterious powers overturned the original rules of the game.

In Liam's eyes, Britain today is no different from a troubled time.

"I see. Then you can stay here with peace of mind."

Su Fan nodded slightly.

"What you consider to be horrific events are commonplace over there."

If Britain is a place where two lunatics occasionally commit crimes, then America is a pure brawl between sick people.

Los Angeles alone is filled with murderers, brain transplants, evil gods, pagans, evil spirits, and demons.

They couldn't bear the intensity of Britain and went to America purely to seek death.

"It shouldn't be that exaggerated, right?"

Liam paled.

"Then let me tell you how I rescued three survivors from the evil god's followers who massacred the entire community."

"No need."

There were at least several hundred people in a community, and they were all slaughtered, leaving only three survivors. What kind of vicious madman must he be?

No wonder the other party's expression didn't change from just now until now. It turns out that he had seen what the hell map looked like a long time ago.

What on earth is wrong with this world? Liam really wants to ask.

After a moment's silence, he spoke again.

"Why do you want to work in this industry? Sorry, I don't mean to question your decision, but I just want to know if there is any special reason why you continue to do such a harmful job both physically and mentally."

Some horrible and evil things can shock people just by seeing them.

Liam doesn't believe that anyone is born with a rock-hard heart. The tempering process is painful, but what supports him to overcome the pain?

"Because of the money."

Liam was slightly surprised by this answer, but he quickly calmed down.

"Sir, please stop joking. Personal desires alone won't get you far."

Su Fan did not rush to answer, but continued speaking.

“I had just graduated from school, and the only elder in my family had passed away, leaving behind only a store.

He was a taciturn but very kind person. He was worried that I would lose my tolerance for mistakes in life after taking out student loans, so he tried his best to secretly pay off the money while he was still alive.

Unfortunately, after he left, the store's regular customers stopped coming, and revenue went from bad to worse, and in the end, the business could only continue with the landlord's leniency.

My business wasn't doing well, but I didn't want to sell the store, so I had to find a way to make some extra money.

I was lucky. The first few clients I met were wealthy people with good fortunes, and their problems were quickly solved. I even made a profit.”

"According to your idea, I should use the fame I have gained from several exorcisms to spread my name to the ears of dignitaries and show off my talents in front of them.

In the end, they will be entrusted with important tasks and promoted step by step. Or they can directly create an organization and use their power to get everything they want. "

"Shouldn't it be like this?"

"There are always some things in this world that are more important than money and status, such as the lives of innocent people and the gratitude of those who have been rescued..."

There is also one's own cultivation and supernatural powers.

The way he acquires proficiency in the system means that he has to constantly fight against all kinds of weirdness in order to grow rapidly.

The almost continuous exorcism commissions made his strength advance by leaps and bounds.

From a slightly stronger fresh graduate to a monk who had killed demons many times, the time span was less than a year at most.

If you are really greedy for the little things that come from the hands of the upper class, and it hinders the improvement of your own strength, you will be picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

Su Fan naturally would not tell outsiders about these considerations, not to mention that this fat man has been telling lies from the past to the present.

But this guy probably wouldn't believe what he said.

What Su Fan didn't know was that Liam had already started brainstorming in his mind and came to a conclusion based on the cause and effect. What he said just now was true.

Such a walking natural disaster can almost get everything he wants directly or indirectly.

Money, power and sex are no problem.

As long as one raises his arm and calls, countless followers will gather, and even overthrowing the national regime will not be a problem.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he chose to walk alone in the building, helping other people who had nothing to do with him to find a way out.

He couldn't think of any reason other than that he had noble character and extraordinary integrity.

But does such a person really exist? Or does he have other intentions?

Liam has seen too many people who pretend to be indifferent to the world to win favor. They give up their immediate interests just to gain more.

Once things don't go as one wishes, one's true colors will be exposed.

So, is he such a person?
Liam was so lost in deep thought that he didn't notice the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracking!
With the center of gravity out of balance, his upper body tilted forward uncontrollably, and at a glance he saw a gaping hole below!

That was not the mouth of a beast with bared teeth, but a mouth with complete incisors and molars. This horrifying state that was similar to that of a human but not a human made the rationality in Liam's mind disappear madly.

"Ahhh!!"

He was screaming like crazy, with tears and snot streaming down his face.

Oh my God, is today the day he dies?!
In less than a blink of an eye, the only remaining light around disappeared, leaving only a strong fishy smell in the face.

In the darkness as thick as ink, a deafening thunder exploded!

Everything within sight was illuminated, and a thick pillar of lightning almost brushed Liam's nose as it fell, shattering the abyss below.

An inexplicable force lifted his body up, and he rose from the huge hole created by the thunder.

Only then did he see the scene below clearly.

The huge white teeth shattered, blood splattered from the gums, the giant's face twisted in pain, and he let out a heart-wrenching howl.

This seemed to have caused dissatisfaction in the young man, and another beam of light fell and directly split the big mouth into pieces.

"Why are you yelling so loudly?"

Thunders containing terrifying power fell one after another, as bright as day.

Liam saw something hideous about to emerge from the depths of the mouth, but before it could display its power, it was annihilated by the lightning.

The high temperature generated by the thunder actually welded the upper and lower lips of the big mouth together.

Perhaps because its strength was exhausted, it quickly disappeared in front of the two people, as if it had never existed.

Liam was still in shock after landing.

If the young man beside him had not taken action just now, he would undoubtedly have died in that big mouth.

"What's going on... I don't remember there being anything like this on this floor..."

"While you were talking to me just now, the ground was gradually tilting at a level that was imperceptible to ordinary people. In fact, the height we were at dropped by about six meters.

Not only that, the interior has changed.”

Liam was about to speak when he felt dizzy and his face turned visibly red.

He was horrified and couldn't help thinking to himself.

Could it be that the evil energy here has entered his body and caused adverse effects?
"What's wrong with me? Sir, save me!"

Liam was trembling and almost crying. Su Fan on the side let out a long breath and then spoke.

"Gravity is reversed, and the blood is flowing backwards. It's okay. Just stand upside down."

After hearing this, Liam immediately did as he was told. Sure enough, after standing upside down, the feeling of blood rushing up suddenly disappeared.

"This is so weird! My arms are clearly supporting my body, so why is the blood in my body flowing in the completely opposite direction?"

Because both gravity and space have been distorted to varying degrees.

Su Fan's assessment of the danger of the unknown demon rose to a higher level again.

Regardless of where the power comes from, the ability to create such an environment requires his attainments in formations to be beyond imagination.

It was far better than the crude arrangement Su Fan had seen in Greenwood.

This trick naturally has no effect on Su Fan, but something more tricky has not yet been fully revealed.

[Should I say that he is indeed a high-ranking official from a prestigious family? ]

Su Fan put away his thoughts and casually glanced at Liam who was lying upside down.

"That's the situation. If you want to survive, you have to adapt to the situation. If you can survive them, then a handstand on Akagi... a handstand on Akagi is easy for you."

Liam, who was about to say something, was speechless and could only bite the bullet and move forward.

He couldn't continue talking. He felt that if he argued on this issue, his life would be in danger.

"How far is it?"

"Almost there."

Walking upside down was not as hard as imagined. Perhaps because of the abnormal gravity, Liam found it increasingly easy, and could even be said to be in his element.

"Can you tell the direction clearly even with an inverted perspective?"

"We just need to go in the opposite direction. Besides, we have already walked almost two-thirds of the way. Logically, we should be there soon. However, the altitude change you just mentioned makes me unsure."

"That's enough."

Su Fan stopped.

Unlike Liam who knew nothing, at this distance he could already sense the strange aura emanating from not far away.

Just like a black hole, its true appearance cannot be detected through spiritual sense.

The energy escaping from here is constantly merging into the surrounding space, rapidly transforming this place into a devil's cave where ordinary people cannot survive.

"arrive."

Liam was stunned for a second, and the next second he suddenly felt his hands become weak.

Gravity is restored!
He reacted quickly and hugged the back of his neck, curling up into a ball to avoid injuring his cervical vertebrae.

In fact, Liam succeeded. Apart from slight pain in his hand, there was no substantial damage to his body.

When it comes to saving his life, his intuition has always been sharp and his actions are inexplicably decisive.

That’s right, it was just like he saw at a glance that the man with the bun needed a chess piece and recommended himself.

Whenever it comes to a critical moment, Liam always manages to grasp that glimmer of hope that is so dim that no one notices it.
