Chapter 305 Preparations before the new year, and the last order before the new year
“Thank you for coming, welcome to come again next time.”
After seeing off the two guests, Alice took a look Clock hanging on the wall.
There is still about half an hour until get off work.
Alice took out her computer and logged into her email.
The inbox is already full of letters.
The relationship between Bella and Edward is not very smooth. Apart from the existence of Jacob, the biggest problem is the racial issue between them.
And Bella is actually ready to be transformed into a vampire. But there are still some psychological barriers.
The former chose to relieve her depression by writing emails with Alice, and Alice would also chat with her about her current life.
"Dear Bella, thank you for your letter, I'm doing fine here."
"As for the late-night program you wrote about in your last letter, I can responsibly tell you that it was not special effects."
"Coming here to work and live, I have learned a lot that I have never known in the past hundreds of years. "
"Originally, I thought that we were observing human beings in the most secret and dark corners, but now it seems that we only have a partial understanding of this world..."
Alice's fingers beat rhythmically on the keyboard.
The hot air from the air conditioner in the antique shop made her skin feel warm.
Although she has been a vampire for much longer than she has been a human, she still retains some of the habits of her human days.
For example, when the weather is cold, try to find ways to keep warm.
Su Fan also allowed Su Fan to turn on the air conditioner.
Because he wanted to enjoy the warm air as soon as he returned to the store.
It’s interesting to say that two people who don’t feel uncomfortable due to cold at all are obsessed with warmth.
While Alice was typing, there was a sound of opening the door.
A young man carrying large and small bags came in with the cold wind.
The latter seemed to be in a good mood and hummed a song that Alice had never heard before, but it sounded quite energetic.
"Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah or or...yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah or or..."
"What song is this?"
"Congratulations Make a fortune."
Su Fan sent the ingredients in his hands to the kitchen and answered at the same time.
"This song will be popular all over the world in the future. It will become a classic song similar to "Christmas Kills You"."
"Really?"
"Of course, when we meet, we will tell you that I hope you can have a lot of money. Who wouldn't like to hear that?"
"Really, I think there are many problems that can't be solved even with money."
"Take the little bourgeois flavor in your words, I will make you work overtime later, do you believe it?"
"Cut."
Alice clicked her tongue and then glanced at Su Fan's bag. In addition to basic meat and vegetables, there were some round and thin pasta.
“What are these?”
“Dumpling skins.”
“Where are those?”
“Glutinous rice, used to make rice cakes. ”
Hearing this, Alice finally understood.
“It seems that you are ready to do something big...but there are still almost ten days until the Lunar New Year. Do you need to start so early?”
"There is still a Little New Year to celebrate before the New Year's Eve."
Su Fan smiled mysteriously.
“I didn’t study hard.”
“Xiao Nian?”
Alice was confused.
There are many kinds of festivals in the big eastern country, and the New Year is divided into big and small.
"Xiao Nian, which is the day to worship the Stove, is said to be the day when the Stove Lord goes to heaven to report his duties."
Su Fan explained while taking out the things and sorting them.
"Does the Stove Lord know?"
Alice shook her head gently.
"What you have studied is historical knowledge. It is normal to not understand myths and folk customs."
Perhaps it was the New Year that was approaching, Su Fan had a little more patience and interest, and began to explain to Alice the ritual of offering sacrifices to the stove. The origin, and what kind of god the Kitchen God is responsible for.
After listening to this, Alice had an expression on her face.
“So it turns out that there are gods who are in charge of pots and stoves.”
“You can’t sleep in late on the New Year’s Day. At the same time, you need to clean your home in advance. You are also particular about what you eat.< br>
In the big Eastern countries, dumplings are eaten in the north at night, while rice cakes made of glutinous rice flour are eaten in the south.”
Speaking of this, Su Fan thought of the huge difference in food culture between the north and the south.
The battle between sweet and salty never ends.
The Xiaonian is also divided into the Northern Xiaonian and the Southern Xiaonian.
As for why the dates are different, you have to ask a certain ninth son to win the direct mvp.
"I was thinking about it before, but now I am sure..."
Alice looked at Su Fan with a little disbelief in her eyes.
"Su, are you a good cook?"
"You know a little bit about it."
When Alice heard this answer, she knew something about it. .
Being too modest is equivalent to showing off.
Alice felt that Su Fan interpreted this sentence very well.
The "some understanding" that this guy said is a completely different concept.
While Alice complained in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
Vampires cannot eat the sweet, sour, bitter, savory, salty taste of human food, nor can they absorb it.
Therefore, she might not be able to tolerate what Su Fan did.
It's a pity.
After Su Fan refrigerated the sorted ingredients, he began to think about how to make this New Year feel more festive.
While old man Su was still here, the grandfather and grandson could still be busy doing everything.
Although he is the only one left now, life must have a sense of ritual.
Thinking of this, Su Fan frowned and thought of the tarot cards and mysterious books placed in the store.
The female astrologer ghost can try to wash away her anger through means, but the mysterious book cannot be moved.
Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to put these two things in the store on the day of offering sacrifices to the stove?
At the stall where Su Fan was thinking, the door of the antique shop was pushed open.
Su Fan and Alice both looked up at the same time and saw the sad-looking woman at the door.
Come to commission an exorcism.
Su Fan judged the other party's intention with just one glance.
Although the Chinese New Year is approaching, money still needs to be earned.
I spent a lot of money in the store, just in time to get some blood back.
"This is the place where you receive the exorcism commission, right?"
The woman stepped forward with a hesitant tone.
"Yes."
Su Fan nodded and motioned to the stool in front of the counter.
"Sit down first."
"Okay."
The woman nodded and sat down in front of Su Fan.
"Do you need something to drink?"
"No, thank you. Forgive me for being abrupt, but I still want to talk about what happened to me and my family immediately." The woman shook her head, Then he directly began to talk about the strange things that his family has encountered recently.
"My name is Lana Lambert, I am a musician..."
Happy family, housewarming.
It sounds like it is no different from Basiba's time.
But unlike that large family, Lana and her husband Josh have sufficient financial strength and do not need to buy an old house in the suburbs.
In Lana’s description, she never mentioned that they picked up something casually outside and brought it home.
In other words, this time it was a completely unforeseen disaster.
"My second son, Dalton. Suddenly passed out without any warning and showed no sign of waking up for a whole month."
"Shouldn't we go to the doctor?"
Alice asked.
She was also listening when Lana made her statement.
As a mother, Lana can be said to be cautious.
There is no such thing as a graveyard encounter photographer who deliberately seeks excitement and goes into dangerous situations.
It is not like the audience of the late-night devil show, who are obsessed with curiosity and peer into the abyss.
Logically, their family should not have to encounter this kind of thing.
"We have already been to the hospital. All examinations showed that Dalton is in good health and there is no abnormality in his brain activity."
"At the beginning, Joe and I I just thought Dalton was suffering from a rare and strange disease, and didn't think so, but later I found out that it was not that simple."
Having said this, Lana shrank her body.
“The doors in my home will open and close automatically, and the things placed there will be moved to nowhere in the blink of an eye.”
“In addition, I can also hear A strange man's voice came from the baby's pager. "I thought this was the end, but I didn't expect to see such a horrific scene with my own eyes."
Lana. Holding the basin, he wanted to turn over his son and wipe his body as before, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened the door, he saw a strange man standing in front of Dalton's bed.
When Lana saw the other person, the man seemed to be alert and turned around suddenly.
"You don't know how scary his face is, my God...the pale and thin face, the jagged fangs and the deeply sunken black eye sockets."
< br>"The other party yelled at me, causing my brain to feel as if it had been hit hard by a hammer, and I fell into dizziness and chaos."
"By the time I recovered, the figure had long disappeared. ”
“I’m 100% sure, that’s a ghost.”
All the doors and windows in the room were closed and motionless, and the tall figure just disappeared from Lana's eyes.
That’s not a ghost, what else could it be? !
“Then what?”
Seeing the woman stop, Su Fan asked.
If that was the case, the other party shouldn't be so flustered.
There must be a follow-up.
“I explained the situation to Josh. Although he didn’t really believe in ghosts, he finally agreed to me to find the relevant people.”
“But I encountered scammers one after another... …”
With the rise of the supernatural craze, many speculators have discovered new ways to get rich.
They package themselves up, claim that they are psychic masters, find an unlucky person, make a fortune and run away.
This kind of thing has become commonplace.
As for Josh Lana and his wife, they were unlucky enough to meet each other twice.
"Aren't you worried that I am also a liar?"
"I have done enough homework before coming here."
Lana shook her head.
"Mr. Su Fan, I have watched the videos circulating on the Internet, and I am amazed by your ability on the late-night devil show."
"If a master like you is If he is a liar, then no one in the world can be called a real exorcist."
Su Fan knew that in the future, no employer would doubt his ability to exorcise demons.
“After much searching, we found Ms. Elise...”
After Elise’s inspection, Josh and his wife knew the real reason why their son was unconscious.
Dalton has the special ability of astral projection. Every time he sleeps, his soul will leave his body and enter a foreign land.
There is no problem once or twice in a short time, but in the long run, it will attract the attention of evil spirits.
Currently, Dalton's soul should be trapped somewhere in a foreign land, unable to return to his body.
"Elise..."
The image of the energetic old lady appeared in Su Fan's mind.
Now he was 100% sure.
The woman in front of me should be the heroine lurking in 1 and 2.
"Yes. Ms. Elis told me that there are only two ways to solve the problem."
"One is to find Su Fan and ask for help."
“But you happened to be attending the live broadcast at that time, and Josh was eager to save people, so...”
"Just choose your soul to enter a foreign land, find Dalton, and bring him back, right?"
"Yes..."
Lana's face was a little bitter.
It turns out that Dalton's astral projection ability comes from his father, Josh, who met Elise when he was very young.
At that time, Josh was targeted by an evil spirit wearing a black wedding dress and wanted to take his body.
At that time, Josh’s mother found Elise to help solve the problem.
In order to prevent this from happening, Iris used hypnosis and other special techniques to erase the memory related to this experience.
In order to save his son, Josh chose to face the fear of the past and travel to a foreign land himself.
“This is too risky.”
Hearing this, Alice on one side frowned.
"According to what you said, that foreign space should be a place where evil spirits are entrenched, and there is also the old black woman who coveted Josh's body..."
"We didn't know it would be so dangerous at the time. ."
Lana inserted her fingers into her hair, her tone weak and sad.
“Ms. Elis told us that the old black woman has been solved by Master Su Fan, so there shouldn’t be much problem with this operation...”
“It’s just that Unexpectedly, there was an accident in the end."
"Not only Dalton, but also Josh and Ms. Ellis didn't wake up for a long time."
"I was really shocked. I found this place because I had no choice but to find it..."
Lana looked at Su Fan, but saw that the latter's expression did not change, and was still as calm as before, and she suddenly felt uneasy.
"Look at this..."
"I can help you solve it."
This unexpected pleasure made Lana a little confused, but she soon showed a look of ecstasy and nodded like garlic.
"As long as you can save my husband and son, I can give you any amount of money."
"Thirty thousand is enough."
Except for a few weirdos, For ordinary exorcism clients, Su Fan will charge reasonable exorcism fees.
Josh's family belongs to people who have troubles coming from the sky at home.
As for Elise...
It can only be said that the matter with Josh's family is indeed a destined hurdle for her.
Even without the evil spirit of the transvestite perverted old man, he still stumbled here in the end.
I hope the old lady can hold on for a little longer this time.
In addition, Su Fan personally also wants to visit a foreign land again.
Su Fan has only encountered this place twice so far, where weak evil spirits are everywhere mowing grass and gaining experience.
I just took this opportunity to finish the unfinished work and welcome the new year.
