Chapter 313: Ghost covers eyes and evaporates Yangshou's "exorcism" prop
So fast?
Do they have ready-made information on hand?
Su Fan thought as he pressed the call button and put it to his ear.
Sam's voice also came from the other end of the receiver.
"I have found relevant information about the antique company you mentioned."
"Is it from the notebook and clues left by your father?"
Su Fan The first thing that comes to mind is the notebook left by the two brothers' father.
There are records of various supernatural events and information about the murderer.
“No, actually I just searched the Internet for news published by some local small newspapers in the UK.”
"You also know that serious large-scale media will not report such strange things as mirror murders. Only small newspapers and magazines will investigate these to attract attention."
"Of course, I also found out After comparing the official case report with published articles, we found that many of the details can be explained."
"According to the information you gave, the only cases that match the case happened a year ago. Villa murder case. "
"..."
There was no movement on the other end of the phone, so Sam asked with some confusion.
"Su?"
"It's okay, you continue."
"The physical evidence of this murder was very complete. The police arrested the murderer on the spot and the trial was held a week later..."
At this point, Sam's tone became weird.
“Do you think it’s weird?”
"It's really strange."
Normally, the process from the collection of physical evidence to the opening of the trial would not be complete without a month or two in between.
The trial was held in just one week, which was extremely efficient.
“Because the entire process of the criminal’s murder was recorded by the camera, not only that, the police call was made by the murderer himself.”
“When the police arrived at the scene, the victim named Katie The patient’s cervical vertebra was broken by the hanging special anchor and he died.”
"Tom, who can be identified as a criminal, is the victim's brother. Whether in the confession or at the trial, he insisted that the mirror bewitched him."
"This confession is exactly the same as that of many years ago. "
"In the same house, many years before this murder, Katie and Tom's father shot and killed their mother. In order to protect his sister, Tom shot and killed her. Biological father."
"At that time, the two siblings also claimed to be the ghosts in the mirror, but no one took it seriously."
" Ten-year-old Tom was considered to be suffering from severe delusions and split personality, and was sent to a mental treatment center. He was not released until he was 20 years old when he was confirmed to have improved. "
"But less than two days after being discharged from the hospital, he committed another murder."
"Many people think that Tom is a liar, because the whole case looks like an extremely arrogant perverted murderer. A provocation to justice. "
"For this reason, the court and the government sought out multiple authorities in the field of psychology to diagnose Tom, and the result was that the latter's split personality and delusional disorder suddenly worsened... …”
Tom’s narration on the phone was completely in line with realistic logic.
From the perspective of outsiders who have not personally experienced everything, Tom's behavior and expressed feelings are so contradictory.
In order to protect his sister, he did not hesitate to kill his father, but many years later he killed his sister again.
In the video recording, it was indeed his hand, but Tom's true grief afterward was something that even the best actor could not portray.
The final diagnosis can only be split personality.
Compared with the fact that there are ghosts in the world and mirrors kill people, this statement is more acceptable.
“However, this statement has also been questioned by public opinion recently.”
Sam suddenly added.
“The late-night devil show you participated in, Su, has spread beyond the United States.”
“Many paranormal enthusiasts abroad regard the scene of you confronting the devil as A strong argument for the existence of gods and demons."
"Under the deliberate restrictions of various countries, it has not entered the mainstream public opinion, but there is still a lot of discussion."
Sam's tone. , with inexplicable emotions.
Exorcists have always been hidden in the shadows, and are regarded by countless people as liars and magicians.
Now that there is a tendency to become a formal profession, how can it not be considered a good thing?
When Su Fan heard this, he just shook his head.
“It won’t be of much use to the person involved.”
On the other end of the phone, Sam, who was a little happy before, was silent for a while, and finally sighed.
"...Okay, you're right."
No matter how the wind changes, the British side will not bring Tom's case out for retrial.
Once this is started, a large amount of social resources will be spent to legislate independently, and then new departments and even special courts will be opened to accept cases related to supernatural beings.
This is a big project in any country. The next prime minister of the United Kingdom has come to power, but there are no signs of it.
It is estimated that when it becomes generally accepted by society, Tom’s second “treatment” will be almost over.
After hanging up the phone, Su Fan quickened his pace and soon arrived at the store.
The antique shop has been closed, but after entering it, the products inside still changed.
This proves that Alice’s clerk is working hard and is not half-hearted.
After taking out the ingredients and making a little something to cushion his stomach, Su Fan read the scriptures for a while, completed his spiritual practice, and then went to wash up.
The body and soul are closely related. Damage to the soul will be reflected on the body, and improvement in cultivation can also feed back the soul to a certain extent.
After finishing his practice, Su Fan opened his eyes, with thoughts flashing through them.
There is a five-hour time difference between the United Kingdom and the United States in reality, and the same is true in dreams.
The auction and the conversation between him and Katie took place in the afternoon, and when he woke up, it was already dark.
Therefore, Su Fan subconsciously believed that while he was dreaming, his consciousness appeared in another country.
What he didn’t expect was that what he saw was a scene from the past.
[Maybe the reason why Katie can hear me is because she is destined to die.
Even if a person who is about to die knows something, he cannot have any impact on the future. 】
Combining Katie's statement and the information provided by Sam, Su Fan successfully found the horror movie with the corresponding plot in his mind.
Ghosts cover their eyes.
It is different from many horror films that rely on protruding faces to scare people and the protagonist's intelligence to create an atmosphere of panic and horror.
Katie, the heroine in this movie, can be said to have used every means she could think of to prevent herself from being disturbed by the strange mirror.
At the same time, the entire film uses a narrative method with two intertwined timelines, deliberately creating a sense of inversion and confusion, which also leads to a certain viewing threshold.
During the more than ten years that his younger brother Tom spent in the hospital, he continued to receive so-called "treatment" from doctors, which caused memory confusion. He could not distinguish between what was reality and what was his fabricated memory.
Sister Katie always remembered the agreement she made with her brother when she was a child, but the latter's rebuttal caused cracks in her originally firm heart, and she was finally taken advantage of by the evil spirit in the mirror.
In the end, Tom as a child and Tom as he grew up almost overlapped, both in the police car, with tears streaming down his face.
But compared to many years ago, the undead in the mansion include not only the dead parents, but also the grown-up sister.
Su Fan felt at that time that after finishing the "treatment" for the second time, Tom would find the mirror again and launch a challenge alone.
But the final result should still be a miserable defeat and loss of life.
[Even if there are only ways to confuse people's hearts, create illusions, and confuse the five senses, it is not something that ordinary people can resist. 】
To be fair, the attack methods of the evil spirits in the ancient mirror are really limited, and they are not as good as the devils in other movies who can use their telekinesis to cause harm to people out of thin air.
It can be seen that the gap between extraordinary people and ordinary people cannot be bridged by technology and wisdom.
But now the situation is a little different.
【It is best to be someone who listens to advice. 】
Before leaving, Su Fan left some easy-to-understand advice to the other party.
If she was smart, she would have prepared something.
After thinking about it, Su Fan felt the sleepiness sweeping over him again.
Are you here again?
This time, Su Fan did not resist the Sandman and fell directly into sleep.
——
“At that time, it was me who fired the gun...”
In the white room, a tall young man sat on a chair, with an uneasy and guilty look on his face and a heavy tone.
“I have completely remembered it.”
Hearing this sentence, the doctor in a white coat opposite him lowered his head, wrote a line of words with a pen, and then immediately looked up.
"I'm sorry to remind you of these bad things, but don't worry, this is the last time."
"It's okay... people always have to face the past."
The young man nodded blankly.
The doctor opposite him did not notice this at all, and just said that it was not painful or itchy.
"You have passed the final test. The report shows that your mental state has stabilized and you can leave here and embrace a normal life."
"I wish you a good start, Mr. Tom. "
The doctor stood up, handed the report in his hand to Tom, and shook hands with him.
"Now, you can leave here."
Hearing these words, some color appeared in Tom's eyes.
For many years, he has been in different psychotherapy centers and has never had the opportunity to truly move freely.
Now that I have finally been freed, I don't feel much surprise in my heart. Instead, I feel confused.
He stuffed the report into the backpack given by the hospital and walked towards the door, only to find that there was no lock on the glass door. For a moment, he didn't know if he could open it.
"Hey kid, all you have to do is reach out and I've already unlocked the access control for you."
In the security room not far away, the security guard's kind reminder made Tom smile a little awkwardly.
He nodded and immediately followed suit.
After walking out of the hospital, Tom took a deep breath.
The air without the smell of disinfectant smells extra fresh.
The weather seemed to be very good. The warm winter sun was shining on him, as if it was trying to wash away the coldness that lingered in the ward all year round.
At this moment, he saw a smiling long-legged beauty leaning against the car not far away.
The latter’s iconic red hair and face that made him subconsciously feel close to her were enough to prove her identity.
"Katie..."
Having not seen each other for many years, the two of them were a little excited and hugged each other.
"Get in the car and talk, I've prepared a place for you."
While driving, Katie tried to strike up a conversation. In addition to talking about her work and life, she also didn't forget to calm down Tom's inner feelings. The strangeness and panic of the outside world.
“The changes in the outside world are a little big now, but they are just small details in life, so don’t be too nervous.”
“I am also mentally prepared, the doctor at the hospital Occasionally, I will bring some novel things, so I won’t be like an old antique who doesn’t know anything.”
“That’s good. We don’t have much time. With your words, You can speed up the progress a little bit.”
The incomprehensible words made Tom feel a little doubtful and wary.
"Speed up what progress?"
Katie, who was driving next to her, was also startled before continuing.
"Of course it is to fulfill the promise we made to each other when we were children..."
"Eliminate the culprit who destroyed our family."
After years of "treatment", Tom felt that his sister beside him was a bit strange to him, but he still asked patiently.
"Isn't it me who caused all the tragedies?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the car that was originally driving pulled over and stopped.
Katie turned her head, looking a little unbelievable.
“You...don’t remember?”
"Remember what..."
She looked at Tom's face carefully, trying to find any flaws in his face, but found nothing.
Realizing that her brother had forgotten the agreement she made with her when she was young, Katie suddenly felt a sense of emptiness and helplessness in her heart.
But the burning fire of revenge made her take a deep breath and calm down.
Even if she is alone, what she has to do will not change.
Moreover, Katie believed that her brother had memory disorder due to long-term brainwashing by a psychiatrist.
As long as you return to your old place, the dusty memories can resurface.
The car passed through the bustling city center and arrived at a residential area where houses are clustered together.
The scenery in front of him gradually became familiar, making Tom feel more and more anxious.
Until the vehicle stopped at the door of the old house that held both beautiful and painful memories.
That's right, his sister Katie took him to their former home. "After they left, this house was taken back and prepared for auction.
However, through my... various efforts, it was preserved.
It was transferred to my name when I was 18 years old, which also made me the only owner when I was in school.”
“I’m great, right?”
Katie spoke in as relaxed a tone as possible.
"Come on, come in with me and take a look."
Tom stood up, followed Katie, and approached the door step by step.
Memories of the past flashed through his mind, and those broken and incomplete pictures were gradually connected.
Stepping inside, Tom discovered that the layout of the house was almost exactly the same as it was eleven years ago.
Only the decoration has been significantly renovated.
Judging from the lack of dust on the floors and furnishings, there should be someone cleaning them regularly.
And the only one who can do such a thing is Katie in front of me.
But compared to these details, the various things displayed in the house are more eye-catching.
Computers...cameras...drinking water...food...electricity storage devices...as well as many potted plants and emergency lights everywhere...
Anchors fixed to the ceiling...
If these can be considered normal, others are completely puzzling.
Holy water...a cross...a Bible...something similar to a bracelet strung with black round beads...
A sword made of wood...a mirror with a Tai Chi pattern on the back...< br>
With a yellow note with incomprehensible words...and something similar to incense...
"What do you want to do with these preparations?"
"You will know later. If you want to leave, I can understand..."
Tom looked at her, wanting to speak Stop again.
Sister Katie is the only relative he has left in this world.
Although Tom could not understand the other party's inexplicable behavior and subconsciously felt that it was not a good thing, he did not want Katie to risk her life alone.
"I'll stay for a while."
Katie walked around in front of various laptops and cameras to check if they were running normally.
After finishing all the preparations, I pressed the video button.
Facing the camera, Katie began to introduce herself, also explained the identity of her brother, and then detailed the current time and place.
“I will first introduce the many preparatory facilities present, then set up the mirrors and uncover them.”
Three cameras with different angles ensure that there are no recording blind spots in the house, and independent power supply equipment and current loops allow them to operate normally in any unexpected situation.
Medical temperature monitoring will automatically alarm if the temperature changes by more than five degrees Celsius.
Two mobile phones, one satellite phone and another landline phone to ensure communication with the outside world.
Off-site personnel will call every once in a while to confirm safety.
In addition, there are four alarm clocks that serve two purposes, to remind you to change the video tape and to eat and drink.
"Why four? Wouldn't two be enough?"
"Backup."
After briefly explaining to Tom, Katie continued to explain to the camera.
“The above preparations I have made are all to prove that this mirror has supernatural power.”
“Because among the information that can be searched so far, there are 45 murder cases, all of which Something to do with it.”
As she spoke, Katie took out the murder case information that had been printed, including photos, text descriptions, announcements of the church investigation, etc.
The Duke who died in the fireplace, the noblewoman who died of thirst in the bathtub, the bank manager who locked the bank manager in the vault, bit off the wires and was electrocuted to death, and who broke all his bones. Pregnant woman...
A series of shocking cases were spit out from Katie's mouth, and the last deceased person to appear was the father and mother of the siblings.
"If you think there is something wrong with the mirror, why not just destroy it?"
Hearing this, Tom finally couldn't help but speak.
In his eyes, Katie's behavior was simply mentally ill.
When they were young, they were just scaring themselves.
Dad went crazy and killed mom. He picked up a pistol and killed dad...
These are all undisputed facts.
The reason Katie has such unrealistic fantasies is entirely the result of her being unable to accept reality and escaping all self-hypnosis.
"So, you really don't remember it at all, do you?"
"We tried it when we were kids, hitting it crazily with a golf club, but in the end we found that what we had been attacking was just next to the mirror. The wall did not cause any damage to its body at all."
"This is the mirror's self-protection mechanism. If you don't believe it, you can try it."
"Absurd!"
Tom immediately picked up the bench on one side and prepared to step forward to take action, but the moment he stood in front of the mirror, he suddenly calmed down.
"You borrowed this mirror from somewhere else. If you break it now, you will only be punished by the company."
"Your mood has changed too much. It seems that it has already It worked.”
Katie was not surprised at all by Tom’s behavior.
If things were really that simple, she wouldn't have to go to such trouble.
As said before, she had made sufficient preparations before taking action.
It’s not like no one in history has tried to destroy mirrors, but they have always failed.
The creator of that crack was hit and killed by a truck on the road a few steps after going out.
“Don’t you think you are abnormal?”
Tom’s reaction was even more intense.
“It’s okay to use technological means such as cameras to record, but what are those miscellaneous things used for? Are you planning to perform an exorcism ceremony on-site?”
"I..."
With such accusations, Katie suddenly didn't know how to speak.
Should she tell Tom that a voice that suddenly appeared in her head that only she could hear instructed her to do this?
The voice of the young man who previously claimed to be the "God of Crowbars" never appeared again after bidding farewell.
The things she prepared were all collected from the Internet and bought.
I just don’t know how to use anything other than the biblical cross.
The scene fell into a long silence, and the relationship between the siblings also quickly cooled down.
"I'm going out for some air. Are you coming?"
"I..."
Katie opened her mouth, and finally lowered her head slightly.
"I want to continue to monitor here and cannot leave..."
Tom snorted coldly.
“It’s up to you.”
With the sound of the door closing, Katie’s heart sank to the bottom.
Even her only relative can't understand what she did.
Is the long-term persistence really correct?
Katie doubted herself for the first time...
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in the silent room.
"It seems that your brother does not very approve of your actions."
Hearing this, Katie's eyes suddenly lit up.
He's back!
——
“It also has automatic venue switching.”
Su Fan opened his eyes and found himself in front of a house.
Although the door and windows were closed and the curtains were drawn, he could still hear the faint conversation inside.
With the experience last time, Su Fan's movements seemed to be very familiar.
He directly blurred his body and walked into it swaggeringly.
As soon as I came in, I saw a young man rushing out the door angrily.
Katie stood there with a look of despair on her face.
"It seems that your brother does not very much agree with your actions."
Su Fan, who knew what was going on, floated in mid-air and said casually.
"Well, he forgot the agreement to destroy this mirror together... In his opinion, everything I did is unreasonable."
Katie's eyes that originally lit up, It quickly dimmed again, and the voice also took on a bit of sadness.
"Do you blame him?"
"No. After more than ten years of psychological counseling, even the most unforgettable memories will be blurred. It was the environment he lived in that created him."
"Actually, you can also choose to give up."
Hearing the unexpected words of the other party, Katie was stunned.
"Isn't this the choice of most ordinary people? Forget the past, live in a daze, and live a relaxed life."
"After so many years, as a survivor, you have no Have you ever thought about starting a new life? Now you have a decent job and your brother is back with you."
"Everything is going in the right direction, and a happy life is within reach with just a little compromise. and.”
"...thought about it."
Katie was silent for a while and replied.
“But I thought again, what mistake did mom and dad make?”
“They should not have to suffer that fate, let alone be regarded as crazy and jealous people who cheated and domestically abused them. The devil's resentful wife..."
"At that time, my mother was controlled by the mirror and wanted to strangle me to death, but she suddenly let go. I could see the struggle in her eyes..."
"My father, too, committed suicide with his last vestige of sanity in exchange for the safety of Tom and me."
"I love them... Every time someone says that I am the son of a criminal and a madman, I cannot accept it."
"Things shouldn't be like this..."
Katie's tone became more and more determined.
“So I must continue!”
Su Fan looked down at Katie, who had regained her energy again, and nodded slightly.
The spirit is commendable.
"Last time you told me that you wanted to use magic to defeat magic, did you want me to prepare props for exorcism? Take a look, these are all."
"Due to limited time , I don’t know which ones have any effect.”
But soon, his expression became subtle.
Katie did listen, but like many ordinary people.
I feel that after bringing in all kinds of things, there is always one that will work, which makes the part where the exorcism props are stored look messy.
"How about it? Is there anything that can work?"
"..."
"Are you here?"
"Where did you get these?"
"Bought them from some psychic shops. What's wrong?"
"You listen to me and wait until this incident is over. , covered the salesman’s head with a linen cloth, and hit him hard with a home run on the head with a baseball bat.”
Hearing Su Fan’s words, Katie was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized something was wrong.
“None of this works?”
"It's useful, it can quickly evaporate your Yangshou..."
It was okay not to ask, but Su Fan's face turned darker when he asked.
Not to mention Buddhist beads, I’m afraid she doesn’t even know what Buddhist scriptures are.
Crosses require considerable faith to exert their power. Holy water is useful, but the problem is that the holy water she got is not pure and not strong enough.
The wooden sword is not a mahogany sword, but a willow sword.
Not to mention the willow tree gathering yin, according to Su Fan's judgment, it was made of willow wood from the willows by the river. It was really yin on top of yin.
There is also the Bagua mirror, which seems to be innate Bagua, but the problem is that the Qian and Kun hexagrams are reversed.
The world is turned upside down, literally going against the heavens.
This is to buff the opponent, because you think you are not dying fast enough, right?
