Chapter 326 Obtaining the ancient mirror; Katie’s financial dilemma
Behind Su Fan, there were slaps one after another.
Every burst is crisp and loud.
In the final analysis, they are just people who hide behind the minor protection law and run wild.
Once those who bully others realize that the backers they rely on are useless, the spirit that supports them to be brave and ruthless will disappear in an instant, and they will return to their original cowardly appearance.
If I met someone else tonight, I'm afraid I would have to suffer the loss of being dumb.
But it happened that they met Su Fan.
He didn't pay attention to the unconscious minors, because there was running noise not far away.
Sure enough, a figure came from far and near.
The young man was stronger than Su Fan remembered, and his face was much healthier and rosier.
The energy and spirit all over my body feel completely different from before.
It's Tom.
After seeing Su Fan, Tom's eyes flashed a little confused, but he soon showed surprise, and speeded up a little to greet him.
"Long time no see..."
At the same time, Tom on the opposite side couldn't help but feel a little sigh in his heart.
At that time, he saw the God of Crowbars for less than ten minutes in total, and the other person was only a golden blurry shadow from beginning to end.
Who would have thought that the other party would be so young and handsome.
In the scene of meeting again after a long separation, the other party frowned.
"Didn't I tell you to look in the mirror at your residence? What are you doing here?"
The familiar voice and the familiar tone are undoubtedly the God of Crowbars.
"There is a very troublesome group of teenagers in this area. They always wander the nearby streets at midnight. I am worried that you will not be able to deal with them if you encounter them."
Having said this, Tom looked around, a little doubt appearing on his face.
Normally, those things should have started making crazy noise on the street.
Why is it so quiet tonight?
"Don't waste time, go back quickly."
After hearing Su Fan's urging, Tom also put aside the doubts that had just emerged in his heart.
On the way back, I began to describe in detail the situation of myself and my sister Katie over the years.
In addition to Katie's entry into magic, Tom also has his own growth.
That is health care.
All aspects such as diet and rest have been adjusted.
If Su Fan hadn't come this time at night, he would have been asleep in bed for a long time by now.
Unlike a year ago, Tom always liked to do handicrafts, but now Tom goes to bed early and gets up early, and is full of energy.
Just now, Su Fan also noticed that when he was running, he was breathing evenly and with ease. This kind of physical strength was not something ordinary people could possess.
"After I started to maintain health, I feel that my physical condition has improved a lot. This is not an effect that can be achieved by ordinary fitness or treatment..."
Tom and Su Fan talked about the changes in their bodies over the past year, with excitement on their faces.
"The sword-opening finger you taught us a year ago, I can now use it about ten times a day.
Thanks to this, we were able to escape the guy many times. ”
"Are you sure that the ghost nun who has been chasing you was the ghost nun that night?"
Su Fan spoke calmly, but Tom's expression changed drastically.
"What's wrong?"
"My sister and I discovered during this year that the other person may be sensitive to his own name."
"Last time we were quickly brought closer together and almost got caught."
"I said it, I said it, there's no way to keep escaping like this."
Seeing Su Fan's indifferent look, Tom gradually lost his previous nervousness and continued to answer Su Fan's previous questions.
“This is actually a conclusion reached after Katie’s careful research.
After you left, we went back to check on the house and found that everything there was destroyed. ”
When he said this, that scene seemed to appear in front of Tom's eyes.
Even though that hometown was filled with bad memories, it was still a memory after all. Now that it was destroyed, it made him a little sad.
"In addition to the houses and buildings, a lot of black liquid was also found at the site, which was proved to be made of plants. It was like being melted by concentrated sulfuric acid, which proves that the other party's power is highly corrosive.
Apart from this, a huge number of different species of snakes are also found nearby. ”
As Tom told the story, the two left the neighborhood and came to the residential community.
In terms of residential areas, these single-family houses built in recent years are all very similar.
Coupled with the occasional sight of Shet here, it felt like I was back in the United States.
Su Fan and Tom had to avoid the "mines on the ground through dexterous movements while talking."
"Where?"
"Underground."
“The damage to the house attracted the attention of the local government, who immediately went to investigate.
As house owners and family members, Katie and I also visited the entire process together.
Through instruments, investigators found traces of a large number of life activities underground. A construction crew was called in to lift the foundations of the house.
As a result, I saw countless snakes entangled together.
Although these things are alive but cold, they are intertwined and wrapped around each other, forming a huge sphere with a radius of three meters.
It was so frightening that many people fainted, and the foreman of the construction team was subsequently diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. ”
At this point, Tom's steps slowed down a bit, and he swallowed before continuing to speak.
"Since then, we have used the liquid fused from a large number of snakes and plants to identify each other's characteristics, and the exact same situation has occurred at several subsequent case scenes."
After hearing this, Su Fan recalled a series of preparations Katie had made to deal with the mirror.
Katie was still the same Katie. If she didn’t have enough expertise in exorcism, she immediately made up for it elsewhere.
Those who lack Dao have many skills.
When you are unable to master something due to force majeure, it is helpless to use side methods to make up for it. This spirit of hard work and hard work to achieve the goal is worthy of praise.
But for now, there is still too little experience in dealing with demons.
"Has Katie checked the neighbors? Are their identities and backgrounds normal?"
"Are you worried that there may be cultists around you who believe in assisting the devil?"
Tom immediately understood what Su Fan meant.
"I have done some inspections, but in fact, every time I go to a place, there are a different group of neighbors around me, and I don't even have time to say a few words. It is unlikely that there is a problem."
After Su Fan heard this, he shook his head slightly.
"In your mind, cultists who believe in demons are rare animals, but in fact they are everywhere and are good at disguise."
A look of confusion flashed across Tom's face. Just listening to the description, he still had no idea.
"In order to hold a ceremony, they occupied half of the community's houses and pretended to be neighbors to lure the victim's family who had just moved there."
After hearing this, Tom felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped a lot, and he tightened his collar.
To embolden himself, he laughed at self-hypnosis.
"It's not that exaggerated... maybe I just sneaked into the house when no one was there..."
"Los Angeles' middle-class family communities have always been affordable and have extremely high occupancy rates. It is estimated that the owners of the houses were still dreaming in their bedrooms on the night they arrived."
Su Fan did not continue, but the terrifying information contained in it made Tom couldn't help but feel horrified. Since the owner of the house was still there when the cult members arrived, there is no need to say more about the fate of the latter.
A similar scene seemed to have appeared in his mind.
After working for a day, I go home, wash up and go to sleep peacefully, but I don’t know that a group of strange figures whose faces cannot be seen sneak into the house, holding murder weapons and standing in front of the bed, staring at me...
Just thinking about it made him feel like a light was on his back.
Since knowing that inhuman weirdness does exist, Katie and Tom have subconsciously divided humans into safe areas, but forget that in most cases, humans are more terrifying than evil spirits.
While Tom was scared, Su Fan was also thinking.
The ghost nun herself can appear in the human world, interfere with reality, and developing believers to establish a sect is not that important to her, so ordinary people cannot enter her eyes.
If there is really a helper, the other party may not be a fuel-efficient lamp.
During the conversation, the two of them had arrived at Tom's current residence.
"This is it, please come in."
Tom walked in first and took out slippers from the shoe cabinet at the door.
It seemed that he was worried that Su Fan would dislike him, so he didn't forget to explain.
"This is a new one I bought today. No one has worn it."
After changing his shoes, Tom took Su Fan through several empty rooms and finally came to the master bedroom on the inside, where the ancient mirror covered with white cloth was quietly leaning against the wall.
"Put it in your own bedroom...you are open-minded."
The mirror killed both of their siblings' parents. Normal people would have some psychological shadow, but Tom dared to put it directly into the bedroom where he lived.
"I did feel a little bit at first...but as time went on, it was nothing. It's just that it's very inconvenient to carry around..."
"It's been difficult for you for so long."
Su Fan stretched out his hand.
Touching the mirror through the white cloth, apart from the cold touch, there is also a vague and non-existent wave emanating from it.
【This is it...】
Su Fan could feel his soul reacting vaguely to this fluctuation, and he couldn't help but resonate with it.
During the coordinated trembling process, previously damaged parts are nourished.
[It does not simply emit power that can nourish the soul, but uses resonance to promote recovery. 】
[It’s quite fresh. 】
[How can those ghosts with little cultivation ability endure such methods... It's no wonder that none of them escaped and were enslaved by them. 】
After confirming that the mirror was indeed useful, Su Fan retracted his palm.
There is no rush to repair the injury, there is one more important thing that needs to be asked.
"You didn't mention Katie's situation before. Where is she now?"
"According to what we agreed, she should be in the next area now...but she also has a backup plan that I don't know about."
Tom sighed.
"Anything that is successful by keeping it secret will lead to failure if it is leaked by talking about it."
"Ever since I learned fortune telling, I have become mysterious all day long."
Is it true that things are accomplished through secrets, but failure is revealed through words? It does look a bit like doing things.
"What are you worried about that the other party can read minds and expose their plans?"
...Maybe it's just persecutory paranoia.
"I will help investigate your sister's matter. It's getting late, so go and rest."
After Su Fan sent Tom to go to bed, he took out the coins from his pocket.
It’s the customary six-yao time again.
After reading the hexagram, Su Fan's brows gradually wrinkled.
"Although there are no immediate worries, there are dangers and undercurrents."
"We should move with the trend and do the right thing right now."
"If we intervene forcefully, we will"
Is it me?
If that were the case, it might not be a wise move for Katie to go looking tonight.
Su Fan put away the coins and looked in the mirror.
In this case, let’s start repairing the damage to our soul.
He sat cross-legged in front of the mirror and slowly closed his eyes.
Repair soul scars as quickly as possible.
Because the use of magical powers is closely related to it.
In short, while both body and soul are present, spiritual and soul power are consumed simultaneously.
When there is only a soul, only the power of the soul is consumed.
No matter when and where, magical powers are Su Fan's most reliable means of killing.
And just when Su Fan was repairing his soul, Katie opened her eyes a hundred miles away from the house.
The heating supply in the house is sufficient, and the abundant firewood burning in the fireplace on one side emits considerable heat.
This allowed her to meditate inside the house wearing only a T-shirt and shorts.
Meditation helps you focus on yourself and eliminate distracting thoughts.
She does it for five minutes every night before going to bed.
It’s just that this time it seems that I forgot the time.
Katie stretched out her hand and gently pressed the arch of her foot. When her toes moved and there was no numbness, she stopped and stood up.
The thighs without any scars have soft curves, are plump and white, and reflect a warm luster under the firelight.
She has long fiery red hair, covering half of her face, which is quite attractive.
But this beauty, looking at the account book on the table that recorded her own expenses, looked worried.
Separating from Tom meant the money spent almost doubled.
Food and clothing have never been a problem, the biggest expense is undoubtedly rent.
The evil beings were pressing closer and closer, and she really didn't have much time to work to supplement her funds.
The savings on hand have almost bottomed out.
The rent is due today and she must move out tomorrow.
But at this time, there were really few places for her to choose from.
Maybe she really can only make do with that kind of family hotel for a while.
"It's a pity..."
Some time ago, Katie had a sudden idea and tried to use the magic she had learned to predict the direction of the stock market and make profits from it.
But I didn't expect that I didn't have enough time and I lost money.
"If I had known better then, I shouldn't have listened to the stud lectures given by the elders of the Mayfair family..."
Thinking of this, she became annoyed and bit her lip.
"Things have reached this point, and there is no use regretting it."
It’s better to think of ways to find a good house...
Katie turned on her computer and searched for nearby rental information.
By coincidence, a rental advertisement fell into her eyes.
