Chapter 365 The Piper of Harmonn
"I think he might be more interested in these than money."
You're wrong, I want both.
Su Fan added in his mind.
Tom thought for a moment and looked at Su Fan before giving an answer.
"Okay, I'll tell him."
"Okay, if you have a reply, please contact me."
After being polite to each other, the two finally ended the call.
Tom finally couldn't help but ask.
"Su, when you asked me to answer the phone just now, did you want to use the other party's connections to collect strange items to investigate the traces of the rope?"
"Yeah."
Su Fan nodded.
The whim was unclear, and even Su Fan himself didn't know when it would appear.
Whenever I have a premonition, something will happen soon afterwards.
Darcy called just at this time, maybe she can really provide key clues.
However, Su Fan's heart was always filled with a sense of crisis.
It was like there was a shadow behind me that couldn't go away.
【Something is wrong. 】
Su Fan frowned, stood up from his seat, raised his hand and pulled out five spiritual power threads.
It purifies the mind, calms the mind, suppresses evil spirits, calms the house, and the five thunders.
Five completely different kinds of talismans were formed in the air. Among them, the five thunder talismans to suppress evil and calm the house fell on the lintel of the house, while the pure heart and tranquility talismans fell on Katie and Tom.
"Don't go out, I'm going out."
After such explanation, Su Fan opened the door directly, and with a flash of light, his figure disappeared from the doorway.
——
After hanging up the phone, Darcy felt that the guilt in her heart was somewhat relieved.
She once kept a distance from her savior because she was too afraid of the unknown power.
It was only after I sobered up and understood the situation that I finally realized how inappropriate my behavior was.
But now she has nothing that can be used as compensation. Treating guests and letting the other party take the antiques in the store is the most sincere plan she can think of.
[I just hope he doesn’t refuse. 】
Just when Darcy was nervous and rubbing her hands, a voice came from the door.
"Is this Miss Darcy?"
"Yes, are you here to sell antiques?"
"No, it's something else."
The guest's voice was a little weird, he felt that he was in poor health and had little energy.
Coupled with the other party's vague statement, Darcy immediately understood.
Except for antiques, the store is full of weird items with the resentment of evil spirits attached to them.
The other party must be eager to get rid of the source of the misfortune, just like many previous customers.
When talking, Darcy usually touches objects to get the information on them.
This is not only a professional habit, but also proves that he is not a liar with a false reputation.
Whenever she accurately tells the memory of the coexistence between the other party and the object, the seller will be convinced by her and no longer question it.
To be fair, Darcy doesn't like this kind of performance-oriented part, but that's what this industry is like. Only by showing your strength can you win respect.
But just before touching her, Darcy suddenly stopped.
"How many things did you bring in total?"
"I think you need to confirm this yourself, because I don't know which of these things in front of me is..."
"Any questions?"
The voice was still as weak as before.
Darcy did not immediately act as the other party said.
Without the doll that can communicate with her, she is now powerless and blind.
The traps that Ted had laid still frightened her to this day, and at the same time, Darcy learned to be cautious.
There are people outside the world, there is a world outside the sky, and the world is far more dangerous than you think.
"Before touching, please explain how you obtained these things and what unusual things happened to these things."
As soon as Darcy said this, the person opposite seemed to be breathing a little heavier. In addition, there was also a slight sound.
It sounds like a rat chewing on food.
"I said, I'm not very clear. I just feel that these things make me very uncomfortable, so I came here for you to identify them."
The other party's mood seemed to become a little anxious, and his tone was full of impatience.
It's like being in a hurry.
"I didn't come here to tell you a story. Aren't you a psychic who can tell the past of something by touching it? Why don't you just use your ability?"
"Or are you just a liar?"
"To do it or not to do it?"
The other party's question aroused the displeasure in Darcy's heart. She wanted to kick the other party out directly, but considering the money she owed for repairing her store, she could only swallow her anger.
"I understand. Then please put the things in front of me."
As soon as the words fell, footsteps sounded in front of Darcy.
From far to near, there was finally a slight vibration on the table. It was obvious that the other party had placed something on the table.
Darcy raised her hand, ready to touch.
But at this moment, the other party suddenly spoke again.
"I changed my mind. If something unexpected happens today, I'll come back another day."
Darcy felt a burst of air passing by her fingertips.
The other party seemed to move very quickly, and the things that had just been placed on the table were immediately taken away.
The man's sudden change of heart, coupled with his previous unfriendly attitude, is really irritating.
Darcy subconsciously stretched out her hand, but did not touch the other person, only felt the touch of fur.
Is the other party wearing fur?
Just when Darcy was so stunned, a third person's voice suddenly came.
"Is this how you treat your guests by letting them come and go in such a hurry? Don't let them sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving?"
The familiar American pronunciation and the young man's gentle and clear voice made Darcy almost unable to believe her ears.
"Su?!"
Not long after she hung up the phone, the other party came to visit.
The time difference between them is not even more than half an hour.
Could it be that when I was on the phone with Tom, they happened to be working nearby?
If that was the case, Tom actually didn't say a word.
While Darcy was brainstorming like this, Su Fan had already walked indoors.
He didn't pay attention to the blind female medium who looked confused, but stepped closer to the "guest" who wrapped himself airtightly in a coat.
The other party was anxious at this time, and his mouth kept making noises like chewing something.
The moment Su Fan appeared, he immediately distanced himself from him.
The face hidden between the coat collar and hat began to tremble, like an animal that was suddenly trapped and trying to escape.
"It's not that I don't want to have guests, it's just that this guy doesn't seem to have any interest in doing business with me..."
Darcy was already dissatisfied with the visitor, but now that she heard that Su Fan was coming, she was not even in the mood to deal with it. She stood up and went to make a cup of hot tea.
"It's better to take the tea and pour the water slowly. Before that, there is one more thing to do." Su Fan stopped Daqian, then turned to face the "man" in the coat with a cold smile.
"You still have ten seconds to explain your origins."
"Su, are you talking to that gentleman?"
Darcy had some doubts in her mind.
Su Fan, who possesses great power, is not a rude person who would say bad words to people he meets for the first time.
On the contrary, when faced with myself who didn't know the truth and was aggressive, the other party was still able to have a patient conversation.
But now he spoke to that guest in such a vicious manner.
Could it be that they knew each other before and had friction.
Or...
The speculation that emerged in her mind made Darcy suddenly shiver, and even her breathing accelerated a little.
【Just discovered this? 】
The reaction of the blind psychic Darcy was also within Su Fan's observation range. Seeing that the other party's mind had just turned around, Su Fan felt powerless and didn't know how to evaluate it.
With this alertness, he could still be regarded as a spiritual medium.
Boy, you are invincible.
Su Fan's eyes fell on the object held by the black windbreaker figure.
Su Fan had used Tongyou to look at several things the other party brought before entering.
All of them are filth with strong evil aura. Ordinary people who are contaminated with it will have a narrow escape from death, not to mention sudden death.
Although people with some psychic abilities like Darcy would not die immediately if touched, their spirits would be severely impacted.
It is very likely that he will become a lunatic!
As for the person who brought them, the inside is even more weird.
What's underneath the heavy coat is not a human body, but mice stacked one after another and crawling!
They were combined to hold a severed head, and several of them were very dexterous, pulling on muscles that were not completely stiff to make them make movements similar to speaking!
The sound is emitted through another ability similar to remote sound transmission.
The mice's disguise was not very clever. Logically speaking, such disguise would attract the attention of the interlocutor at a very close distance, but without the synaesthesia doll, Darcy could not see.
The other party was obviously targeting this weakness, which meant that they had already investigated Darcy.
Once you think about it, the other party's purpose is quite intriguing.
"I..."
The surface of the windbreaker kept squirming, and the mouse inside seemed to sense the oppression of the young man in front of him, and began to panic.
Its body is also shaky and seems to be falling apart at any time.
"I'm really here to do business, I don't have any other ideas."
The voice was slightly panicked.
"I didn't know I would meet you here...the noble Lord of Wind and Thunder."
Lord of wind and thunder?
This was the first time Su Fan heard this term, and it took him half a second to realize that the other person was talking about him.
Wind should refer to the wind-controlling magical power that Su Fan often uses. As for thunder, it naturally refers to the Five Thunder Talisman.
"Who did you know this name from?"
"Everyone in the circle calls you this..."
The other party tremblingly began to tell about his identity and the purpose of coming here.
His real name is Ethan, and he is an extraordinary person with special abilities.
There are also many people in the psychic circle who like to study evil objects. They often acquire certified evil objects and buy them at high prices.
In order to make a profit, he searched for these things and came to find a famous psychic here in London for identification.
"In that case, we are here to do it openly, so why be so sneaky?"
"I want to too, but..."
The things that come here for appraisal are all too vicious, but any existence in the soul will be contaminated.
He himself experienced a lot of hardships, and finally found someone to help him get rid of his filth after many setbacks.
Rats have no souls, so even touching them has no adverse effects.
That's why he found Darcy, a blind psychic, and controlled the mouse to come for identification.
"This head was obtained from a nearby morgue. It will be returned after use. I have never killed anyone, and I have no intention of throwing away the head after use."
Ethan answered all questions with a respectful and even flattering tone. It can be said that he expressed the word "coward" to the fullest.
After listening to the other party's explanation, Su Fan finally confirmed that he was a human being and had nothing to do with the ghost nun.
However, Darcy on the other side couldn't listen anymore and immediately spoke angrily.
"You clearly know that these things will cause erosion to those who touch them, why didn't you explain it in advance?!"
"That's none of my business. If you touch the past memory of an object, you have to bear the risk of encountering something too evil and being corroded by it."
Ethan didn't feel any guilt at all when he said this.
When doing business, it is normal to conceal information and engage in intrigues, and his behavior can be considered unkind at best.
But soon, Ethan could see through the mouse's eyes that Su Fan didn't look relaxed, and his tone immediately returned to its previous humility.
"I have told you everything, can you leave now?"
"No."
Su Fan shook his head gently.
Judging from the outcome, he came to stop an unreasonable transaction.
But only Su Fan knew that Darcy almost died because of this.
Attempted murder cannot be treated as innocent even if there is no knowledge.
Most importantly, this guy almost ruined his own business.
"Keep all these things and surrender yourself to the police station."
"Huh?"
"What? Is there a problem?"
People with such crooked minds probably do a lot of sneaky things by using their abilities.
There is no problem at all if you sit in jail for a period of time.
"Okay...Okay."
Ethan sighed.
And the dummy made up of densely packed rats suddenly dispersed.
These small rodents, carrying human heads on their backs, scattered in all directions and disappeared after a while.
At the same time, Su Fan seemed to hear the sound of a flute in his ears.
After watching the other party leave, Su Fan felt a little interested.
The first meeting between Zhengerbajing and Chaofan was actually in this form.
As for what Ethan's abilities are, Su Fan also had some guesses in his mind.
Legend has it that a terrible rat infestation occurred in a place called Harmonn City. The local people suffered greatly, but there was nothing they could do.
Suddenly, a flute player in colorful clothes came here and said that he could solve the rat problem.
After agreeing on the reward with the residents, he played the flute in his hand.
All the rats in the city obeyed the flute player's command, crawled out of their caves, and jumped into the river one after another and drowned.
