Chapter 335: Learn now and sell now? Visible and unintentional!
Tom and Darcy left the door and rushed towards the vehicle when they suddenly heard a dull roar.
The two stopped at the same time, their body movements stiff.
It is hard to imagine what physiological structure can emit such a penetrating roar. Even if there are building blocks and spatial distance restrictions, the surging murderous intent can still be felt.
The only person who could make such a noise could be that weird and terrifying doll.
"Are your dolls so powerful?"
Tom was a little uneasy.
He never had any doubt that Su Fan would win, but a complete victory or a tragic victory were both wins. If it was the latter, how would he deal with the ghost nun?
"I...I don't know."
Since getting the doll from the witch, Darcy hasn't used it much.
If her sister's death hadn't ignited the hatred in her heart, Darcy might never have used this thing in her life.
While the two were talking, a roar of wall collapse suddenly came from the villa behind them.
Darcy and Tom couldn't help but turn their heads, just in time to see the black shadow break through the roof of the villa, and then fall heavily to the ground.
Even on rainy days, the light outside is always much stronger than inside the house, but the billowing smoke and dust prevented the two of them from seeing clearly which one fell.
But soon, they had their answer.
The door of the house was opened, and the young man walked out slowly, as if taking a leisurely stroll in the garden.
Tom looked carefully and saw that this guy's clothes didn't even have many wrinkles.
Is the gap in strength between the two sides so huge?
Just as Tom was stunned, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the thick smoke.
The wooden body that was supposed to be stiff showed a flexibility that is difficult for ordinary people to find, as if every joint could stretch at will.
Fists, claws, palms, legs, elbows, knees, the ends of the human body turned into sharp life-killing weapons, launching intensive attacks against Su Fan, but he was always easily resolved.
Too fast!
Tom felt dizzy and couldn't clearly see the actions of both parties.
It's not like he has never watched spy action movies before, and he always imagined that he could kill everyone like the tough guys in them.
But now that he really saw the physical attack and defense, he realized that what he admired before was just some showmanship.
Can a normal fist-palm intersection produce an explosion like the one in front of me? !
But even he who doesn't know how to do it can still see the current form.
Su Fan can be said to be completely suppressed by the puppets!
From the beginning to the end, he just stood there and was able to neutralize all the puppet's weird attacks with ease.
While Tom was watching attentively, the puppet made another uppercut towards Su Fan's temple.
But its attack was blocked by Su Fan with one hand, and he parted his mane with a wild horse to knock it over!
Seeing that the center of gravity was out of balance, the doll fell to the ground and kicked Su Fan in the face!
Unexpectedly, the latter quickly withdrew his hands to defend himself, and at the same time, he stepped forward and sank down. He lifted himself from the ground, twisted his waist and shoulders, and hit the abdomen of the still airborne puppet with a straight punch like a heavy cannon, sending it flying away!
After knocking it away, Su Fan retracted his palm, and the previous attack on him by the doll flashed through his mind.
It was true that Maga was used at the beginning, but Maga itself is not as powerful as MMA in actual combat, so it is a weakened version.
To put it simply, there are four differences.
Therefore, both in terms of moves and reactions, they were all crushed.
Perhaps realizing that Su Fan could not be defeated head-on, the puppet immediately used a fighting technique that combined Brazilian war dance and yoga.
All kinds of gorgeous and confusing movements, line changes and kicks come up.
If a kick above the waist is ineffective, the opportunity will be taken.
Su Fan casually sold the puppet a flaw, and with a move and a thump, it flew out, and then came to the outside world.
[I originally thought that its roar would be similar to Hong Fist's method of using sound to perform martial arts, but it seems that I was overthinking it. 】
Most of the fighting schools that focus on breathing and energy come from the great Eastern countries, and this thing is just a puppet, which cannot reproduce human movement skills at all.
But this is scary enough.
Practicing martial arts is a process of accumulation, turning each move into your subconscious reaction. When the enemy attacks, you don't have to think, your body will react first.
But this process takes a long time, making it impossible for experience and strength to exist in the same person at the same time.
Those who can crack the puppet's fighting moves are not as powerful as it. There may be those who can compete with it, but their moves are not as sophisticated.
Coupled with its invulnerable hard body.
Even with bare hands, the head of a closely guarded target can be taken away.
It's almost time to end.
Just when Su Fan was thinking this.
The puppet stood up from the fallen trees, raised its hands, and made the same gesture as Su Fan before.
The white crane spreads its wings.
But before he could launch his attack, Su Fan appeared in front of the puppet.
After several attempts to attack, the puppet actually responded with the same moves Su Fan had used before.
However, this behavior did not achieve the same outstanding results as its "teacher", but was beaten even harder.
Almost as soon as he raised his hand, he was hit hard.
All ancient martial arts boxing techniques focus on the possession of form and meaning.
It's just an empty shell of moves, without any inner meaning, but it just makes people laugh.
After knocking it down again, Su Fan raised his hand and played a holding charm to trap it, then lifted it up and poured out the items placed in the five holes in the back of his head.
The puppet that was still trying to struggle immediately lost all signs of movement after the thing left the body.
"It's over."
Darcy, who had been listening to the noise, and Tom, who was watching everything intently, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Unlike the nervous two people, Su Fan seemed very calm.
"Let's go."
……
After placing the dolls properly, the three of them left the unrecognizable villa.
Tom also didn't forget to send Darcy back to her own antique shop.
After the latter got out of the car, he bowed and thanked Su Fan.
"Thank you very much for your help. I will remember this kindness forever."
"As promised before, the doll will be entrusted to you from now on. I will prepare a detailed instruction manual for you on how to control it."
"Okay."
"Thank you for your help. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. I still need to tidy up the store..."
Tom, who was on the side, heard the politeness and alienation in the other person's tone, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
He wanted to speak, but Su Fan waved his hand to silence him.
"Go ahead. Don't forget to help coordinate Sasha's coming out when the time comes."
"No problem, see you later."
Watching Darcy enter the antique store, Tom finally started the car.
The problem is solved, and the two of them are now going back to the house where he lives, preparing to pack their things and find Katie's whereabouts.
But...
"Su, I have something to ask you."
"Say."
Su Fan's simple response came from the back seat.
"Darcy's tone just now... didn't you hear something was wrong?"
Tom doesn't understand...
It was obviously Su Fan who saved her life and helped her avenge her sister Danni.
Why do people feel a clear sense of alienation when the other party talks, as if they don't want to have a relationship with them anymore.
"Throw it away after use? It's so boring!"
Listening to Tom's somewhat aggrieved thoughts in the driver's seat, Su Fan seemed unusually calm. "It's not that she wasn't mean enough. She fulfilled her promise and also released her goodwill, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that they don't know how to get along with people like me."
The strange young man who was previously tit-for-tat and identified as a villain, in the end not only became his great benefactor, but was also unfathomable and powerful beyond his comprehension.
Such a huge impact will cause people to be confused.
Darcy's gratitude was not fake, and her kindness was not a disguise. It was just that her subconscious felt that she didn't know what to do, which led to avoidance behavior.
I believe that when she recovers, she will return to her original state.
"You can't expect everyone to be grateful to me and worship me like a king."
"That's what I say, but..."
Tom wanted to say something else, but gave up in the end.
Su Fan looked out the window.
He didn't have much entanglement with Darcy's attitude. He was more concerned about the doll and its origin.
There are so many good things here in London. In addition to the ancient mirror that helps restore the soul's wounds, there is also this special doll.
After all, it is a time-honored European power, and its foundation in mysticism is always a bit thicker. It cannot be compared to a land with a weak history like the United States.
Su Fan thought of this and opened the system message in his mind that he had not clicked for a long time.
[Your understanding of Tai Chi, Wing Chun, and boxing against enemies has been improved. 】
[Grandmaster’s heritage enables you to get twice the result with half the effort! 】
[Tai Chi +30, Wing Chun +5! 】
As expected of the system, this point distribution is quite reasonable.
Su Fanpi was smiling but not smiling.
In previous battles with dolls, most of them used Tai Chi, and occasionally Wing Chun, but the intention was just to improve their proficiency.
But this action still failed to get through.
But that's not the point. What he cares about now is the following message.
[Congratulations on getting the doll Golem (fake). 】
After reading the prompt, Su Fan knew that his guess was quite accurate.
Golem, an inanimate dummy made of clay, bronze, or stone in Hebrew legend.
Legend has it that the purpose of this doll was to protect the Jews from being persecuted by their enemies.
Golem can move, and the principle is the powerful spell [Ameth] written on its head by the caster, which means "truth" and "God's truth".
And if you want to destroy it, you only need to erase the first character of the spell on its head.
In this way, "truth" becomes "death", and the golem itself will turn into dust and gravel and scatter on the ground.
Of course, what the witch gave away could not be powered by the power of God.
So what Su Fan obtained was a fake created using alchemy.
[It’s not so much a fake as it is an enhanced version. 】
Without the obvious weakness spell on his forehead, and with Ted's improvement and ability to imitate, he has become a good helper for killing and stealing.
It just so happened that it was time for the astrologer female ghost to be formally sacrificed.
When Su Fan went back, he was going to tinker with it again and redesign it.
At that time, the defense force in the store will be able to reach a higher level.
at the same time.
Katie is following the directions on the map, moving between different rental locations.
After successfully evading the landlord who repossessed the house by pretending not to be at home, Katie made up her mind to find a new place to stay.
In order to save the taxi fare and the damn 15% tip, her long legs were strained today.
If the weather hadn't been too cold, Katie would have wanted to take off her boots right now and massage her stiff arches.
[Hold on, we are the last one...]
Katie encouraged herself.
This one was her guaranteed choice that she had planned for a long time.
Her request for renting a house should not be rejected.
Across the corner, the shops became increasingly sparse.
There are two or three minors with unkind eyes, homeless people standing in front of fire barrels to keep warm, and drunkards lying on the roadside full of alcohol and not knowing whether they are alive or dead, all of which reflect the chaotic public order in this area.
Katie saw these scenes, but she could do nothing.
The situation is stronger than the person, and the money on hand does not allow her to be picky.
Stepping up the few steps, Katie knocked on the door in front of her.
Not long after, someone opened the door.
A middle-aged man who looked a little sleepy poked his head out from behind the door. When he saw Katie's long red hair under her hat, there was a trace of disgust in his eyes.
But the latter was not surprised.
Since she was a child, she has often been looked down upon because of her long hair.
As long as the other party didn't directly sneer, Katie could pretend she didn't see it.
"Hello, I am..."
"You're here to rent a house, right?"
The man interrupted Katie and opened the door.
"Come in and take a look at the room first."
Katie at the door was stunned.
It was beyond her expectation that the other party was so easy to talk to, and her prepared words were of no use.
Katie simply thanked her and walked through the door.
"As you can see, this building only accepts women... The conditions are quite different. Although there is no independent kitchen, the bathroom conditions are not bad."
Except for showing a slightly off attitude at the beginning, the man was loyal and conscientious during the sales process.
In the process, she also met several girls who were living here.
Most of them have typical Middle Eastern looks, and it is obvious that the process of coming here is not very formal and legal.
After Katie walked around in a circle, she felt that the environment was indeed good, but there was an indescribable feeling of weirdness, and she secretly increased her vigilance.
Her intuition told her that this place was not very clean.
If she could, she wanted to turn around and leave, but...
"Does this place accept short-term rentals?"
"I accept it, but I don't accept rent arrears and credit. Don't think of my place as a shelter. Pay first and then move in."
The man was not polite at all.
Katie looked confused, but finally sighed and took out the banknotes from her pocket.
"I saw the rent from the rental advertisement... This is one month's rent. You collect it first."
Naturally, there is no such thing as a residence or contract.
But Katie had a recorder ready when she had nothing to do, so she wasn't afraid of him cheating.
The man didn't even look at the amount. He took the money and put it in his pocket. He said a few words and left directly.
But he didn't see the red-haired woman behind him, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
