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

Chapter 52: Guide to Avoiding Evil Spirits, Strange Existence at the Crossroads
Although Karl's situation was speechless, fortunately there was no rush.

What the detective meant was that if Su Fan was free and willing, that would be great, but if he couldn't spare the time or didn't want to get involved, Carl wouldn't have any objection.

"Tell the detective that I know about this. Ask Carl to pick me up in three days."

You may complain in your heart, but appraising the treasure is not a difficult task.

He wanted to see what kind of Buddha statue could be worth 300 million US dollars.

This old man who is trying to scam people dares to do this. He is really not afraid of getting the money but not spending it.

Su Fan drank the cocktail in the glass in a few gulps, took out a few dollars and put them on the table, then looked up and nodded to the bartender.

The latter got the result he had been waiting for for a long time, and his hands became faster when wiping the cups.

"Let's go, Jamie."

"it is good."

The two men walked out of the tavern.

According to the season, it is almost late autumn now, but California has plenty of sunshine and warm weather all year round, with the temperature difference throughout the year not exceeding ten degrees Celsius.

The sun is a bit too strong.

On the way, Jamie and Su Fan chatted casually.

The former, like the detective, is very interested in certain aspects of things.

"Besides curses, what are some situations where you are more likely to encounter evil spirits?"

“Normally, no, as long as you don’t deliberately play some psychic games.

Many children like to play with those things, but they are actually very dangerous.

Compared to adults, children’s minds and wills are less mature, making them the easiest targets.”

"I haven't done this before. After all, there is a legend about Mary Shaw in this town, and the adults are very taboo about it..."

"In addition to not playing psychic games, you should also not participate in some strange religions or worship obscene temples. Worshiping without reason will bring bad luck.

Unruly monsters and demons are often more effective than ordinary righteous gods.

The reason is that the former will stop at nothing to achieve their wishes.

If your dream really comes true, don't be complacent.

What is borrowed must be returned, what is wished must be fulfilled.

Most of the time, the price to pay for fulfilling a vow is beyond the ability of ordinary people to afford.

The best way is to control your inner greed.
Think about it, most of those who were bewitched by cults were initially attracted by the fact that if they believed in it, whatever they asked for would be granted, and after tasting the sweetness, they could not help themselves. "

"I see... According to you, isn't the United States, where religious freedom is concerned, very dangerous?"

Jamie thought about what he had seen and heard during this time.

"It's very dangerous. Are there not enough vicious incidents caused by religious fanaticism and cult activities here?"

Apart from evil spirits, the most mentioned thing in American horror films is the cults that believe in evil gods and demons.

Hearing this, Jamie was thoughtful.

"Besides these? What else?"

Su Fan paused here and thought of Freddy's incident.

“Don’t touch old objects casually.”

“After moving, throw away the old items of the original owner if you can, don’t keep them just to save money.

This is how the evil ghost Freddy in the dream was awakened by the director and others.

In short, be careful and you will never go wrong."

"Respect ghosts and gods but keep them at a distance" is a popular saying in China, which means respect them and stay as far away as possible.

"If you don't have enough skills, try not to get involved with these things."

Hearing this, Jamie suddenly realized.

"I was wondering how you know how to exorcise demons, Su. It turns out you learned this to prevent mistakes when running your antique shop."

"..."

If I really handled antiques every day, I might not have such great skills now.

Su Fan felt a little embarrassed, but he replied, "Of course."

As he walked, Su Fan felt two gazes.

From the corner of his eye, he saw that it was a patrolman on his daily patrol. The two looked at Su Fan and whispered to each other, probably because they recognized the latter, but Jamie didn't know this and was a little angry.

"Those two patrolmen kept their eyes on you. Are they doubting what you would do, Su? Damn racists."

There are many people who are not working and are hanging around during the day, but the police generally pay more attention to people of different races other than white people.

In their stereotypes, most of these people of color are low-income people with poor public security.

Jamie would not allow anyone to discriminate against Su Fan, and he immediately went up to argue with them.

He was stopped by Su Fan before he took two steps, and then he heard two greetings from the opposite side.

"Su, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The other person was smiling, while Jamie looked confused as if he had drawn his sword and looked around.

After Su Fan finished chatting with the two of them, he immediately raised a question.

"Su, do you know these two?"

“I don’t know them, they know me.”

These two were among the patrolmen who took part in the welfare home operation.

The two people who witnessed the whole process were very awed by Su Fan.

During the brief conversation, Su Fan learned that they came to maintain order.

An elderly person in the community died and they were preparing to hold a funeral. There were a lot of people coming and going, so we had to keep an eye on it.

At this moment, some warning suddenly emerged in Su Fan's mind.

He pretended not to care, turned his head and looked to the side.

On the left side of the intersection, there was a child standing.

The latter has long golden hair and a young face that is difficult to tell whether he is male or female, giving people a very strange feeling.

A pair of eyes stared blankly in Su Fan's direction, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Su Fan just took a glance and then looked away.

This time, he was very cautious and did not use Tongyou to spy on others.

Su Fan could feel that there was something very bad inside the other person's body.

[You have solved evil spirit incidents one after another, and it seems that you have attracted the attention of some existence. 】

[Please be careful, don't look into their eyes before you are fully prepared! ]

Sure enough, a clue soon appeared in Su Fan's mind.

Su Fan, who pretended not to notice the child, felt his heart sink.

What on earth is that...

Su Fan’s strength has greatly increased now and is no longer the same as before.

But even so, the system still reminded Su Fan not to let the other party discover anything unusual.

Evil God? Or a demon?

Su Fan was thinking rapidly in his mind.

He glanced at Jamie beside him, who didn't seem to notice anything unusual and just walked forward on his own.

That's fine.

If he was discovered by the other party, he didn't have the confidence to fight him while protecting Jamie.

There was no change in the pace of the two men, and the child's eyes still moved as Su Fan walked.

At this moment, Su Fan felt as if something was observing him through the child's eyes.

When Su Fan and Jamie's figures completely disappeared around the corner of the street, the child's dull and numb eyes seemed to regain a little consciousness.

At the same time, a boy who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old walked up from behind the child.

"It's almost time to go back. Mom and Dad are still waiting for you to eat."

After the boy finished speaking, seeing that she didn't reply, he picked her up and walked towards the house in the distance.

But the boy didn't notice that the child's eyes were always fixed on the direction where Su Fan left, and a crisp tongue-clicking sound came from his mouth.

"clatter……"
