Chapter 352 Do you understand what it means to keep pace with the times? It is human instinct to follow the easy path without stereotypes.
It was too tiring to travel long distances on my own feet, so I came up with a means of transportation.
It is too troublesome to calculate long manuscripts, so there are calculation aids such as abacus.
In this way, the technological progress of human society may be driven by the driving force of "enjoying convenience".
But convenience also means being unable to adapt to the life of the past.
Those who are familiar with urban life would be in a hurry to live in the countryside, let alone throw them into the virgin forest.
So, people who solve problems by killing people will become dependent on this method.
Bypassing the complicated interpersonal relationships and cause and effect factors, you can rest easy as long as the specific person who caused the problem is solved.
How simple and convenient.
Emma has always done the same thing.
If you can't get the first place in the exam and can only be ranked second, then just get rid of the first place.
If you encounter a teacher who doesn't like you and is unwilling to award a medal to you, then get rid of her and find a new teacher.
As for what he has done being discovered by his biological father...there is only one way to go. After all, the dead are always better at keeping secrets than the living.
As for relatives, without him there will still be Aunt Angela, without Aunt Angela there will be others.
Even if all his blood relatives are gone, there will be kind-hearted people in society who will adopt him.
She is destined to be loved by everyone and get the best of everything in the world.
As for the black master tape, in Emma's eyes it was not a curse or bad luck at all.
It is a gift from God.
Although it is fun to constantly think about how to get rid of others without leaving any traces, the risk of exposure is still too high.
She didn't care how many families she would be in, but she would inevitably become curious about any one and investigate.
Once she discovers any clues, Emma will plan again.
The cursed video tape obtained by chance can be said to be the perfect solution to the problems Emma faces.
Supernatural beings kill people, and there are no clues that can be found through modern criminal investigation methods. Even if they are known, they can only be blamed on illusory evil spirits.
What a perfect killing tool.
Video tapes are intentionally sent to the homes of unwanted people, who will die within seven days if they watch them.
Emma plans to use this method to deal with trouble in the future.
But before that, she must get rid of Angela and Robert's child.
With the birth of the child, Emma has clearly felt the shift in their focus.
That piece of rotten meat that can only cry and sleep is not worthy of possessing the "love" that should belong to her.
The plan is going very smoothly...but it seems that there are some hiccups so far.
"Exorcist..."
Emma muttered this word.
Recalling the black-haired young man I met before.
Those black eyes lingered in her mind.
Is it greed and lust that covets her beauty?
Emma rejected the idea at that time.
The other person's eyes were as calm as a frozen lake on a winter night, cold without any warmth.
There seems to be a joke in it that already knows everything.
This feeling of being seen through made Emma disgusted and frightened at the same time.
Maybe the other party really knows something?
Somehow her worry and fear turned into unwillingness. She didn't know what was going on, but she actually lifted up her skirt and provoked the young man.
What reassured Emma a little was that nothing happened after that.
Maybe the other party is really just a bluffing liar.
With this thought, Emma lay on the bed and closed her eyes.
But not long after, her body stood upright like a corpse, and then she quickly walked to her desk and opened her laptop.
"Psychic medium...exorcist..."
As her fingertips quickly entered keywords, dense text and hyperlinks of various colors appeared in front of her.
Emma, who usually concentrates on her studies and likes to scheming with others, has never paid attention to similar information.
After searching for the first time, I learned that in the superpower America on the other side of the ocean, supernatural events have been officially recognized as existing.
Its impact is rapidly sweeping the world.
The prestige of the Holy See is rising at an unimaginable speed.
[Perhaps joining a monastery in the future and becoming a priest is also a good choice. 】
Emma does not have any respect for the so-called faith and gods. She just feels that she is the only one worthy of such a good career.
But soon, the content searched later attracted her attention.
【Amazing! The top-secret battle between the mysterious wizard and the devil leaks! 】
I just clicked on the video and couldn’t watch it. Emma suddenly closed the laptop with an ugly look on her face.
The black hair, the lack of ups and downs in the tone of voice, the many yellow papers with mysterious runes spilled from the pockets...
Everything is the same as what I met today. The man was exactly the same.
[No...no...maybe the other party has also seen this video and deliberately imitated it to gain the trust of others? 】
Emma was extremely panicked, and soon after, she got up and left her house, heading towards the small baby room.
She took off her shoes, walked gently along the way, being careful not to make any noise, and then gently opened the door.
The child in the crib was sleeping soundly and did not even notice that a figure had arrived.
At this moment, the shadow on the ground suddenly began to shake.
The shadows of the trees were whirling, as if a woman's black hair was blown wildly by the wind.
A terrifying and weird atmosphere enveloped her. Emma froze and immediately exited the room.
She is a mentally ill person with mental and ideological problems, not a mentally retarded person who is unaware of danger!
At that moment, she felt the same eerie fear as when she first watched the cursed video tape.
If she dares to stay, she will definitely be affected and become the target of the curse again!
But... doesn't this just prove that that person's so-called amulet doesn't work at all?
Emma realized this and smiled.
Sure enough...
How can there be so many coincidences in the world.
For an exorcist who can fight demons head-on, why would he come to London to enjoy his money and fame instead of enjoying money and fame in the United States...
So, that young man is just a poor imitator.
With this thought in mind, she returned to her room and finally returned to her bed peacefully.
But this time, Emma did not fall asleep as quickly as before.
She suddenly felt as if a fire was burning in her abdomen and her stomach was churning.
It was too late to get the trash can in the room, Emma started retching on the bed.
What came out of his mouth was not the dinner he had eaten tonight, but clumps of hair wet with ice water.
"vomit..."
She kept vomiting, but her hair seemed endless.
The severe pain and fear made Emma unable to think as usual. She could feel something that did not belong to her body, entrenched in her abdomen. It was constantly twisting and squirming, as if trying to break free.
Emma grabbed the black hair in her throat and pulled it out in one breath. This action caused another burst of retching and itching in her throat. And the pain caused tears to flow from her eyes uncontrollably.
But Emma has no time to care about these, she only has one thought now.
Let that weird thing leave your body!
Unfortunately, her actions were meaningless.
The thing in the abdomen kept squirming, and a clear and ferocious human face actually appeared through the pajamas!
Seeing this, Emma rolled down from the bed, crawled to the cabinet with difficulty, and knocked it over.
Among the objects scattered on the floor, Emma fumbled for a pair of scissors.
She untied her nightgown, raised the scissors, and was about to stab her, but was suddenly interrupted by an exclamation.
"Emma! What are you doing?!"
At this moment, all the fear and weirdness seemed to be gone, whether it was the itching in the throat or the burning in the abdomen , all disappeared.
Looking down again, there is no weird human face, only the plain lower abdomen is exposed in the air.
Emma was stunned for a moment. At this moment, the sharp part of the scissors stabbed a little, and the sting was accompanied by red blood drops gushing out, proving that what she was seeing was not a dream.
"Oh my God, Emma...why is this happening..."
Angela screamed and rushed forward, snatched the scissors from Emma's hand, and hugged her The latter couldn't control the tears on his face and flowed down.
But this outpouring of concern did not move Emma's heart much.
She just felt that this middle-aged woman's noisy manner was hindering her from investigating the truth of the matter.
Emma tried to turn her head and finally saw the place where she had vomited before.
There was no black hair at all, nothing.
Hallucination...
Why?
There was only one question in Emma's mind.
The black hair, the cold aura, and the illusion that only he could see.
All of these are experiences caused by being cursed.
She has clearly passed the curse to an old man.
Even the other party’s death, Emma had carefully observed it in the name of mourning.
Confirm that the other party did die in a strange way.
It was clear that a suitable scapegoat had been found.
Why does the curse of the video tape appear on me again?
Emma couldn't understand.
But the time now seems not enough for her to figure this out.
Because she only has one week left to live.
——
"According to what you said, Katie, Angela and Robert seem to have been cursed by the video tape..."
In the villa, Katie has finished listening to her narration. Tom understood the cause and effect of the matter.
“But how did that videotape appear in their home?”
“Uncle Robert has the habit of collecting old things, among which the movie master tapes in the second-hand market are his My favorite, maybe it was brought home at that time.”
Katie recalled past memories in her mind.
Uncle Robert is a blood brother with his father after all, and his attitude towards her is a little better than that of his aunt.
But only one thing.
“As long as you think about things carefully, you will find many unreasonable places.”
“Even if the video tape is at home, someone must specially insert it and play it.”
"If it's Robert, then he should be the first one to be cursed."
"And Emma, why didn't anything happen before? The day she took the initiative to take over the care work, she came out. "Is there a mistake?"
"There are too many coincidences."
Katie also had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't think about it too deeply.
The power of evil spirits can move objects at will and produce supernatural phenomena.
Having a TV play a videotape automatically doesn't seem like a big deal.
“Coincidence?”
While the two were talking, Su Fan walked out of his house.
“Once or twice is accidental, but the occurrence of small-probability events one after another is a deliberate human necessity.”
“That Emma lost her mother when she was young, and then her father. Not only that, Murders occurred one after another around us.”
"Do you believe that there is no connection at all?"
Tom looked confused when he heard Su Fan's speech.
"Su, how did you know about her previous experience...did you get her birth date?"
At this point, he suddenly realized it again.
"Did you ask the police to find out her date of birth? And then use that to make the arrangements?"
"No, I directly asked the police to send her past experiences to my e-mail."
Su Fan's answer shattered Tom's illusion of his scheming and omniscience.
“Um...I thought...”
“It’s useless not to look at it if there is clearer and more intuitive information. Do you understand what it means to keep pace with the times.”
< br>Su Fan felt that he needed to break Tom's stereotype.
With the subsequent development of smart phones, people no longer have to worry about fortune telling, but directly use mobile apps.
There are even more Taoist priests who watch short videos when they have nothing to do.
Sometimes, people in Taoism are much more fashionable than people think.
"I have sent the relevant information to your mailboxes. You can read it yourself."
After hearing this, Katie immediately brought her computer and boarded the mailbox. .
Sure enough, I saw a lot of information in it.
After reading it carefully, he frowned.
That Emma is like the heroine in a tragic novel.
She is always plagued by misfortune, being suspected, and even her biological father becomes frantic and wants to kill her.
But even after going through all this, he still maintained a kind and optimistic attitude, and was highly praised by everyone.
They would even pity her tragic experience and pour more care into her.
"Just looking at it makes me want to vomit..."
Behind Katie, Tom, who had his head close to her, curled his lips.
Katie herself figured everything out based on the clues and Su Fan's previous subtle attitude towards Emma.
If the initiator behind those murders is Emma, does that mean that this curse video is also closely related to her?
"Don't panic, she said it herself before, if it doesn't work, she will come to collect the debt."
Seeing Katie's expression struggling, Su Fan said with a smile.
“And if she cares about money, it’s not necessarily who is the unlucky one.”
