Chapter 319: Failed to mop up; the turmoil during sleep
One day ago.
In the bedroom in the antique shop, Su Fan was still lying on the bed.
His eyes were closed and motionless, as if he was completely cut off from the outside world.
If it weren’t for the slight rise and fall of his chest and steady breathing that showed signs of life, anyone who saw him would have thought he had died on his bed.
The reason why I say "visitors" is because at this moment, three people were already surrounding Su Fan's bed.
"How long has he been like this now?"
Scarlett asked, her eyes fixed on the sleeping Su Fan from beginning to end.
"It's been almost four full days."
Alice, who was leaning against the door frame, answered truthfully.
She went to work normally and thought it was Su Fan who continued to train, but she didn't expect that he would sleep like this for four days and nights.
Su Fan's long sleep was originally not a problem, but rumors began to spread outside.
You know, since both the private sector and the government have begun to acknowledge that supernatural events do exist, the topic of exorcists has continued to become more popular.
Whether it’s a supernatural horror experience or an exorcist’s autobiography, it ranges from brief comments in discussion groups to specialized review websites.
Many articles and information, whether true or false, are springing up like mushrooms after a rain.
Everyone began to look at the people around them again to determine whether they were hidden psychics or supernatural beings.
It is human nature to be curious about new things. Before we truly understand what an exorcist is, persecution such as witch hunting movements should not occur.
But what’s interesting is that almost all discussions about exorcists are ultimately inseparable from one person.
That is Su Fan.
“Wait, why is Su Fan involved?”
Anne Hathaway, who was standing on the other side of the bed, was a little confused when she heard this.
“Hasn’t he never gotten involved?”
“Some things just don’t mean you can stay out of it if you don’t want to get involved.”
Alice sighed, He raised his chin to indicate someone still sleeping on the bed.
“Rather than saying that he got involved, it would be better to say that many public opinion storms revolved around him.”
"He also said that trees want to be calm, but the wind from the outside will continue to shake their branches and leaves."
"What is the specific process?"
Scarlett asked.
“As practitioners in the film and television industry, don’t you know best?”
Alice shrugged.
As soon as these words came out, Scarlett and Anne immediately understood.
The entertainment industry is tearing up the rankings, and the exorcism circle is tearing up the combat power.
Different circles, the same busybodies doing nothing.
The difference is that the entertainment industry really relies on fans to buy in, but those in the exorcism circle rely on their skills and don't have to worry about this group of so-called fans who have nothing to do.
But such remarks inevitably attracted inexplicable jealousy and lasting attention to Su Fan.
Someone with good intentions discovered that Su Fan had not taken on any more exorcism commissions since the late-night devil show.
Using this topic as a starting point, many people once again discussed the daily life of antique shop owners.
Until someone claimed that they witnessed the news that Su Fan failed to exorcise the demon and was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and attached a surveillance video of Alice carrying Su Fan.
Yes, it’s a surveillance screen.
“Who is the person who leaked the footage?”
Scarlett's face showed a bit of anger.
"The security personnel at the hotel that Su Fan checked into that day...were transferred from the monitoring room to satisfy his own vanity. It was indeed my negligence not to pay attention to this at the time."
"Just Can’t it be explained as being drunk and delirious?”
Anne tried to use public relations.
"It shouldn't be of much use. Compared to boring drunken explanations, what I want to hear more is the destruction of a myth."
Alice stood up and sat on the chair in front of the desk in the room.
“Human beings always like things that change and have contrast. They want to see the weak become strong through setbacks, and they also want to see the strong and powerful fall into the dust due to changes.”
“Love to see purity. The person has been distorted and tainted, but he also likes to see the heinous people showing the remaining love and justice in his heart."
"Now that Su Fan has not shown up for such a long time, and has not continued his business in the antique shop, he has already let someone down. Some people are beginning to have tentative thoughts.”
“Testing?”
Scarlett frowned.
"What's a test?"
Alice no longer answered questions as quickly as before, but seemed a little hesitant, and seemed to have thought of something, with a rare look of anger on her face. color.
“Let’s wait until Su Fan wakes up to discuss this matter.”
At this point, Scarlett suddenly turned her head.
"What is your ability?"
"?"
"He doesn't know many ordinary people. So, what is your ability?"
" My ability won't help his situation at all, so you don't have to think about it."
Alice did not answer directly, but shook her head.
"By the way, the witch you know living in New Orleans is also helpless."
"Even in this state, Su Fan can still subconsciously block other people's special abilities. ."
"We still can't help at all."
When Anne said this, Scarlett also lowered her eyebrows.
The two of them don't have any special abilities. Apart from getting to know Su Fan earlier, they can hardly provide him with any help.
"Perhaps I can still help a little bit...such as helping him turn over to avoid bedsores, or wiping his body to maintain basic body hygiene."
Seeing that the two of them seemed a little depressed, Alice spoke up. comforted.
Actually, she didn’t even believe it when she said it.
Su Fan's body was different from that of ordinary people. She could not smell the smell of sweat from her body.
Decubitus sores are even more nonsense.
But Alice found that the faces of the two people, who were still a little depressed before, suddenly brightened up after hearing what she said.
Yeah!
......
Su Fan just woke up and saw that the clothes on his upper body were gone.
Although it is a sunny morning, the temperature is still cold in winter.
The man who was taking off his clothes didn't know how to put it on quickly...
After he stood up and took out his white shirt and put it on, he heard the arguing coming from outside.
The voices from both parties sounded a bit familiar...
Su Fan slowed down and came to the door, only to see two women confronting each other holding towels.
"As far as I know, aren't you still going to audition for a movie? Why are you here?"
Anne looked at Scarlett in front of her with a "smile", but there was strong hostility in her eyes.
"I watched it and found that the film was not in line with my future direction, so the audition was cancelled. What about you?"
Scarlett fought back without hesitation.
"Don't you have a promotion event for a new movie recently? Is it really a good idea to leave the creative team and come here?"
"Then I don't need to worry about you."
< br>
Annie glanced at the towel in the other person's hand and snorted coldly.
"Don't you know how to use warm water to wipe your body? It seems that this job is not suitable for you."
Do you understand the job of wiping Su Fan's body?
Start!
"It's just because you have delayed me for too long that I have become cold. Can you please stop wasting your time here? Su is still waiting for my care."
Scarlett didn't feel guilty at all.
The hot water problem can be solved at any time. This small problem will be made up for later. But if I miss this time, I won’t have such a good opportunity in the future...Thank you for the opportunity.
“And it was you yesterday, so it’s time to rest today.”
“I’m not tired.”
Annie answered immediately, and immediately her face became a little unnatural.
The last time I wiped my body, Alice was supervising me and I was unable to implement the plan.
But even so, he brushed Su Fan's upper body with his own hands.
That's really...
Scarlett on the other side noticed the change in Anne's expression and immediately knew what she was thinking of. She suddenly lost her temper and her eyes became even sharper.
The two confronted each other, and Alice in the corner had no intention of stepping forward to persuade them.
Now she is staring at the computer screen with excitement.
The game character from the first-person perspective is skillfully throwing the rod and throwing the baited fishhook into the ocean inside the game.
Wuhu!
The boss is not here, the fishing game is so fun!
Su Fan looked at this chaotic scene expressionlessly, and finally tapped the door twice with his fingers.
This movement did not attract the attention of everyone in the venue at first, but soon, they discovered that the direction of the sound was coming from something wrong, and they all turned their heads.
Su Fan, wearing a white shirt, was standing at the door, looking at them.
“Boss, you (actually) woke up?!”
“Su, (how) did you wake up?”
One scared, two regretful.
Three inquiries were made, but none of them contained sincere happiness.
Su Fan could even figure out the subtext in their words.
As soon as the words came out, the three of them immediately realized that their tone was inappropriate, and they showed awkward smiles in a tacit understanding.
……
"So, has it been so long..."
Su Fan returned to his recliner.
Scarlett and Anne have gone back.
The two do have auditions and the announcement of a new movie to catch up on.
With such a tight schedule, I didn’t forget to come here to make a fuss. Su Fan really didn’t know whether to be moved or to complain.
Now the only one left in the store is Alice.
"It's not too long. A vampire can stay in a daze for a month or two, or even stay motionless for several years. In my opinion, you just took a nap."
< br>"As for those two people, they couldn't get through to your mobile phone, so they came directly."
Alice immediately distanced herself from the relationship, saying "it's none of my business" both inside and outside her words.
But she soon noticed Su Fan's slightly regretful look.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just feel that the rice cakes need to be kept in the refrigerator for a while."
Su Fan replied casually.
Originally, I wanted to celebrate the Little New Year, but after this sleep, neither the South nor the North could celebrate the Little New Year.
“Did anything special happen during my coma?”
Su Fan asked casually, but did not wait for Alice's answer.
Just such a pause made him feel strange.
"It seems that we have it. Let's talk about it carefully."
"This matter was conveyed to me by Deputy Director Dyson. At the same time, when he stated it, he repeatedly expressed the hope that you can "Keep calm."
It turns out that since Su Fan fell asleep, the previously silent media began to move again.
But they didn't dare to visit Su Fan's residence, which was the antique shop, in person, so they decided to target other people.
As for the intention, it is also very simple.
Test Su Fan’s current real situation.
“Whose idea was it?”
Su Fan frowned.
Scarlett and Anne both have professional public relations teams behind them, Dyson and Carl are both police officers, and Jamie is nowhere to be seen in Los Angeles.
Ron Not to mention, the backers behind the Mayfair family and those media companies are on the same level, and no one dares to stroke the tiger's beard.
Even the foodie Sister Theresia has the support of the Vatican.
"It's Dalton and Josh."
Alice finally revealed the answer.
"In addition to them, there are other people you have helped."
"The Quinns, and some college students..."
"These ordinary people are overexposed to the flash. Under this, life has been greatly affected."
"..."
"They can provide each other with what they want."
He didn't care about the slander or slander from the rumors outside. Anyway, to him, they were just the incompetent barking of a bereaved dog.
It was just a single commission relationship, and he didn’t have much relationship with that group of people.
At this time, it is wise to protect your family and life and sell him decisively.
Su Fan will not hate them for this.
“But they didn’t.”
The answer Alice gave made Su Fan silent for a moment.
"They refused to answer questions about you, but there is no solution."
In other words, they endured harassment for as long as Su Fan slept.
At this moment, a video happened to be playing on the TV on one side.
"We have the right to remain silent about your problems. Get out of here and stop disturbing my family! Get out now! Get out!"
In the shaky camera, Josh, the emotional father, showed rare anger.
In the background, which was overshadowed by the roar, there were boys and girls crying, as well as the mother's low voice of comfort.
......
"I know what you want to do."
Quinn's father blocked the door with his body and raised his middle finger to the camera.
"Fuck you."
...
"I don't know anything...well maybe a little bit, but Su is definitely a good person and very strong."
Facing the camera, the little fat Paxton was quite nervous and spoke inconsistently, but he kept mumbling one sentence.
“He saved our lives.”
The video stopped abruptly, and the host's heavily made-up face took up the screen.
What was revealed was that the interviewer was under pressure from someone and did not dare to say anything bad.
Or they are evil Easterners who use drugs and brainwashing to control innocent people.
Alice sounded irritated and quickly walked forward and turned off the TV.
Since then, there has been no sound from the antique shop.
The slight movement of Su Fan's body rocking the rocking chair and the ticking sound of the clock's second hand sounded so clear at this time.
Alice suddenly shivered and turned to look in the direction of Su Fan.
The latter had already stood up from the recliner.
"Take a good look at the store. I'll go out and be back soon."
