Chapter 351 The Ring at Midnight
As long as the conditions are in place, the target effect can be achieved no matter how hard the props are used.
Even a wild dog wearing golden holy clothes can beat ordinary people.
Su Fan once had similar thoughts.
However, subsequent experiences have proven that talent is the biggest influencing factor.
The talisman drawn by Su Fan's current cultivation level can not only kill demons and monsters instantly, but also ensure that the user is not threatened.
As long as Angela uses it honestly and according to Katie's instructions, it will be easy to keep the child safe.
But judging from the attitudes they showed when they left, it was only a matter of time before something went wrong.
And there is Emma, the biggest variable.
"What do you think about Emma?"
When Su Fan thought of this, he couldn't help but become interested.
He wanted to know what Katie thought of the other person.
“I don’t know much about him, but I feel like he’s the type to get along well with.”
Katie gave her answer based on her first instinct.
During the days when she stayed at her uncle's and aunt's house, she always said whatever she wanted and never behaved in order to seek something.
Her mind was full of things about ancient mirrors, and she had no energy to deal with those that were not there.
"Good intuition."
A playful smile appeared on Su Fan's lips.
"Judging from her behavior, I guess she won the favor of your aunt not long after she moved in. She was only about 9 years old at that time, right?"
"It seems that the obedient minors who perfectly fit in the minds of adults have either been taught that they are more at the mercy of adults, or they are too precocious and have a high self-esteem.
Although he looks obedient, he is actually a bratty kid who looks down on adults who are easily manipulated by him. ”
"Emma is the latter?"
After hearing Su Fan's statement, Katie immediately asked.
But when Su Fan shook his head.
"It's much worse than you think."
"Bad."
Katie murmured and repeated it, but she didn't have a specific idea in her mind.
Su Fan, on the other hand, took a sip of the drink brought by the waiter and told Emma about the little moves he made when he left, which shocked her.
The woman's behavior before leaving was both provocative and seductive, as well as deceiving and contemptuous.
Apparently the woman took Su Fan's attention on her as coveting her figure and appearance.
Therefore, in Emma's eyes, Su Fan is a wretched older youth who has perverted desires for minors. Such a person is a very suitable target for manipulation.
"Do you think there are people in this world who are unaware of their beauty?"
When Su Fan said this, he suddenly asked Katie.
"It should not exist."
Katie answered exactly.
If you want to know what you look like, you only need to pay attention to the attitude of strangers when you first meet them.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and having a good-looking skin will benefit you in various situations.
The murderer was so handsome that someone signed a letter hoping for a lighter sentence. It sounds ridiculous, but it has happened in ancient and modern times at home and abroad.
Those people who looked ignorant and seemed to know nothing about their own beauty, in Katie's eyes, were just a group of shameless people who were pretending to get an advantage and behave well.
After hearing this, Katie had a new understanding of Su Fan's "high self-esteem".
But if that's the case, the other party can only be regarded as a bad boy with a bad temperament, and he is far from worthy of Su Fan's "serious" evaluation.
During the conversation, the waiter had already started serving the dishes.
Seeing Su Fan pick up the knife and fork, Katie did not sit still with the food in front of her.
"I will investigate the details about Emma afterwards, but I don't know if this will waste too much time. I think the most important thing now is to have relevant information about the evil spirit."
Exorcism is actually not much different from investigating a case. Only by using the information that is available now to gradually peel off the cocoons and determine the cause of the malignant incident can we make corresponding countermeasures.
"The way my aunt's child was cursed was because he watched the videotape. First of all, the origin of the videotape should be traced..."
"What you said is based on the cooperation of your uncle and aunt."
Su Fan interrupted Katie.
"You have also seen their attitude. This will not work for the time being."
"For a long time, I have dealt with many incidents of evil spirits and demons. Do you know what is the most troublesome for me?"
"The devil's power is increasing day by day?"
Katie answered tentatively.
"No, it's a client who is in the way and is doubtful."
Whether it was finding the mastermind by peeling off the cocoon, or directly fighting with him to face an enemy with incredible power, it was all within the acceptable range of Su Fan.
But the real challenge is to guide people's minds so that the client or the key figures in the incident can play their due role instead of adding chaos.
Words of persuasion are useless. Only by hitting the wall and bleeding can they fully realize the reality.
Under Su Fan's supervision, there was never a situation where the situation got out of control and the person involved was directly harvested by evil spirits, but this work was really tiring.
"If you are too soft-hearted and cannot bear to see the client suffer, it is very likely that everything will be lost in the end."
Su Fan casually put a forkful in his mouth.
People always have to pay a price for their own knowledge, similar to Angela. Next time, she will sell an evil charm for 1,000 pounds.
After seeing that Su Fan was not so anxious, Katie seemed to be infected by this leisurely atmosphere. She calmed down and enjoyed the delicious food that she had not eaten in more than half a year.
In fact, while Su Fan was eating, he already had a general guess about the exorcism incident in front of him.
The cursed video tape, the suddenly ringing phone and the strange female voice predicting death...
Even if the country and the identities of those who witnessed it are different, when these key elements are put together, it is easy to guess who is behind the scenes.
Midnight bell.
The famous island country horror film created the image of the female ghost Sadako, which is quite famous around the world.
As a well-known horror film IP, it has also been remade in the United States.
Su Fan has seen both versions, and his opinion of the American version is unsatisfactory.
Although the atmosphere is good, Europeans and Americans seem to be unable to understand the karma and retribution in East Asian culture, so the film has a strange smell.
"Sadako..."
Su Fan was a little curious. In addition to Britain and the United States, there was also a curse video being quietly spread on the island country at this time.
……
Robert, who was waiting at home, remained leaning on the sofa. With his mouth dry, he glanced at the water glass next to him, and finally gave up.
It was too dangerous for him to go to the toilet without someone to look after him.
Until Emma and his wife Angela come back, it's better to stay where they are. Robert looked down at his legs, feeling suddenly sad.
A man in his prime turned into a useless person who couldn't take care of himself...
He couldn't help but start to recall what happened that night...
Before he fell into coma, with the help of a little light from the street lights on the outside street, he seemed to see a figure swaying not far away and disappearing in a flash.
He didn't think much about it before, just thinking it was an illusion caused by the evil ghost that Angela said, but now that he thought about it carefully, he felt that the figure looked more and more familiar.
It looked so familiar that he couldn't help but start comparing the familiar people around him one by one.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the courtyard not far away.
"I can't believe what stupid thing I did... I actually exchanged eight hundred pounds for this rough and crude piece of paper!"
The voice came from far away, and soon came to the door. The speaker was obviously not in a good mood, his tone was angry, and his steps were hurried.
Looking up, he saw his wife Angela pulling open the door.
"Did the meeting not go well?"
Seeing this, Robert's heart sank, and he immediately turned to look at Emma, who was following Angela.
“Everything went well.”
Emma answered, and then described what happened to Robert.
Robert was also shocked when he heard that an amulet cost 800, but unlike his wife Angela, he quickly calmed down.
"Go tell your Aunt Angela...Katie never likes to lie. Since she sells it like this, there must be a reason why the amulet is expensive."
"Since you have spent money, let's use it as the other person said."
Emma nodded, and then headed towards Angela's room.
But when she got here, she didn't mention a word about what Robert wanted her to convey earlier.
Instead, he and Angela began to recall the details of the meeting as soon as they came up, while constantly agreeing with the latter's views on Katie.
"That girl Katie has always been like this from before to now. In so many years of boarding life, have we ever had less food for her and less clothing for her?"
"No gratitude at all."
With that said, Angela took out the yellow talisman from her pocket.
"This kind of thing is just fine if you just give it over casually, but you actually ask for a high price. I think you have been away from home for a long time, and you have no savings, so you want to use this to extort money."
"Maybe it's not Sister Katie's problem..."
At this moment, Emma spoke.
"You can tell at a glance that this yellow talisman paper is not from our country. It is most likely the reason why the black-haired man gave it."
Angela was stunned for a moment, and then anger appeared on her face.
"She has random boyfriends who are scammers and mysterious. She feels like a hippie from the United States..."
"His eyes are always looking at you. If it weren't for business, I would have taught him a lesson."
"It's okay, aunt, this is not a problem."
Emma showed a "sensible" smile, and this appearance of enduring grievances for herself made Angela heartbroken.
In a rage, Angela took out the talisman and wanted to tear it into pieces.
Emma, who was beside him, had a somewhat "depressed" expression suddenly changed, and her eyes were fixed on Angela's hands, looking forward to it.
But to her disappointment, Angela suddenly paused before taking action, with a look of struggle in her eyes.
This is 800 pounds.
Even if it has no effect, you can't just tear it up, otherwise it will be even worse.
After Angela stopped her hand, she sighed and put it under the stroller.
"Just think of it as a psychological comfort."
Seeing this scene, Emma's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she immediately hid it.
"Auntie, I still haven't finished the homework assigned by the teacher. I'm going back to my room first. I'm running around today. I hope you can pay attention to your health and rest early."
She got up and headed towards her room.
After entering the room, he closed the door, came to the mirror, and smiled.
No one knows that this is Emma’s daily homework since she was five years old.
A beautiful and approachable smile can arouse the favor of others and help her gain higher popularity.
Being liked by everyone makes it easier to get what you want.
The distance between the brows, how much the eyebrows are raised, how high the corners of the mouth are raised, how many teeth are exposed...
And the angle of the face...
She corrected her smile again and again in front of the mirror, and finally selected the most satisfying frame and recorded it using the camera function on her mobile phone.
Immediately all the muscles in his face collapsed.
The beautiful woman who was smiling one moment became an expressionless doll in the next second,
The contrast between before and after is so strong that it would be no exaggeration to say that it is terrifying.
She got up and went to the desk again to open the drawer.
A pitch-black videotape was suddenly exposed to the outside space.
The unspeakable evil could almost hurt people's hearts, but Emma didn't care at all.
This master tape was obtained by chance.
The opportunity was a boring summer party. The boys who got the beer were all drunk, and they started to suggest some kind of dare game.
This master tape is the key prop.
Legend has it that everyone who watched the video died of unknown causes without exception.
Unless seven days have passed before it is passed on to the next person for viewing.
Such a topical thing aroused everyone's competitive spirit. The minors who pursue excitement are already lawless, and now they play the content in order to prove their fearlessness.
Emma originally didn't want to get involved, but she was worried that she would lose everyone's praise and love because she didn't watch, so she sat down to watch the movie together.
She still remembers that the originally noisy broadcast scene suddenly became silent at the beginning of the short video.
It was so quiet that you could even hear everyone's rapid and panicked breathing.
After that, Emma heard about other people's deaths.
People who watched the video that day died one after another.
Emma was safe and sound, because she had already played it to one of the dying old people through her status as a nursing home volunteer.
kill.
This word that is far away to others is not unfamiliar to Emma at all.
The old man didn't have many days to live, so to die for such a good boy in his prime was a well-deserved death.
But Emma, who got rid of the curse, did not throw away the master tapes, but stored them...
