I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 204: Annabell Disappears

But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that he seemed not to have finished watching this horror movie.

It is only roughly clear that a series of horrific events were caused by an evil being possessed by the doll.

Compared to Mary Shaw, who also uses puppets to harm people, Annabelle's power is much stronger and the mental oppression she brings to her victims is also greater.

It perfectly fits the three-step sequence of evil spirits persecuting humans as described by the Eds.

Compared to evil spirits that kill people directly, this sinister and poisonous method of harming people is even more horrifying.

For example, Jamie in the original destiny was not afraid of Mary Shaw's repeated intimidation and overcame the obstruction of Detective Dyson who regarded him as a murderer.

He went all the way back to his hometown to track down clues, got closer to the truth, and successfully escaped after a face-to-face confrontation with the evil spirit in the Lakeside Theater.

It can be said that he has almost achieved the ultimate of ordinary people.

But in the end, his father's body broke his inner defenses and he gave up hope of living.

Of course, this trick doesn't work on Su Fan.

"The last exorcism will begin soon...Thank you for your hard work, Su."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Theresa's words were full of emotion.

"I don't think there is any exorcist who can expel evil spirits as efficiently and thoroughly as you do."

"Thank you."

Su Fan responded casually.

"Actually, I feel the same way."

Theresa smiled softly in the passenger seat.

"It seems that you have a very clear understanding of yourself."

The afternoon sun gradually weakened and shone into the car through the side windows.

The nun turned her head to look at Su Fan who was driving, her eyes were clear, without the silly look of the past.

"In fact, I can roughly guess what Su Ni was thinking about in the afternoon."

Theresa spoke softly.

"You see evil spirits doing evil in the world, but the omniscient and omnipotent God does nothing. So you have bad suspicions about religion and God, right?"

Su Fan raised his eyebrows.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because someone like you who can overcome all difficulties and destroy evil spirits by your own strength probably doesn't fear God."

"When I was young, I could hear a lot of strange noises. My father thought it was an ominous ability and didn't allow me to mention it."

"After my mother died, my life went from bad to worse. I didn't have enough food to eat and had heavy housework. My peers left their hometown to go to school, but I was the only one who stayed in the Romanian countryside..."

"Every quiet night, I would get up and pray to the night sky, hoping that the Almighty God could take me away from there."

"Looking back now, if it wasn't for my faith that supported me at that time, there might not have been a novice nun named Theresa."

“Humans are very fragile creatures.”

“Even if you can live alone, you will fall into the abyss of emptiness because of your desire to fit in with the group and want the care and love of others.”

“We worship God because we cannot change the current situation by our own strength, or there are things that we cannot accomplish in our lifetime.”

"In order to avoid falling into despair, many people will start looking for spiritual support."

"For people with fragile hearts, having a positive religious belief is a form of salvation."

When Su Fan heard this, his eyes drifted to the side.

I originally thought that the nun beside me was just blindly believing like most believers.

In the candlelit church, they pray to the cross above day after day, devoutly and blindly.

I didn't realize that she also has her own views on faith.

Theresa was right.

When people realize that they can never achieve their goals, emptiness and despair will follow.

This is what happens when many scientists are arrogant when they are young, but suddenly begin to have faith when they are old.

The more we know, the more we realize how insignificant we are as human beings.

The sharp contrast between their decaying bodies and the endless sea of ​​truth will make their spirits extremely fragile. Newton, who has been active in the political and academic circles of Great Britain for many years, is a good example.

"I think that Christians believe in the Trinity not because God can give people the power to avoid evil."

“It’s about strengthening your faith and getting through the most difficult and painful things.”

“So, for people with fragile minds, religious belief is beneficial and indispensable.”

"Like evil spirits, huh?"

Hearing this, Su Fan took over the conversation.

And Theresa nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Su Fan sighed.

In the Conjuring series, evil spirits and demons do exist, and the way to resist them is very idealistic.

As long as you have a strong will and don't let others take advantage of you, you will be safe from harm. If you are smart enough to figure out the other person's real name, you can even fight back and exile him.

If your will is not strong enough, you can also use faith to arm your heart as Theresa said to achieve a similar effect.

But the problem is that this world is not a single Conjuring series, but a fusion of multiple horror films.

Freddy and many other evil spirits do not take the path of destroying the mind and then possessing it.

They can directly take the victim's life.

The probability that Theresa's approach will work is very small.

Of course, to Su Fan, the demons in the Conjuring world were no different from the demons in other horror movies.

Before, he might have tried to break through Su Fan's inner defenses, but now there is no preparation at all, and there is a high probability that he will just fight right away when they meet.

At this moment, Theresa's phone suddenly rang.

After the latter answered the call, his expression gradually became solemn.

After hanging up the phone, she turned to Su Fan and announced something unexpected.

"The doll disappeared."

Disappeared?
Su Fan frowned, hummed, and motioned Theresa to continue.

A woman named Annabell Higgins returned to her adoptive parents' home and brutally murdered them.

She then took her boyfriend, who was also a Satanist, and sneaked into the home of her next-door neighbor, Ms. Mia, intending to commit the crime.

Los Angeles Police Department patrol officers arrived in time and shot the man dead, while Annabell committed suicide by hugging a doll in Mia's home.

Since that time, strange things began to happen frequently in Mia's home.

The dolls began to move around on their own, and even wrote notes with a red pen and stuffed them in front of Mia and their room's door.

There was even an inexplicable fire in the house, which scared Mia a lot.

Pregnant woman Mia already had some prenatal anxiety, and the illusion caused by the evil spirit made it even worse.

Although her husband John is a top student at a medical university and a non-religious person, he takes his wife's feelings very seriously.

Father Andrew was soon found.

"Andrew?"

Su Fan suddenly interrupted the narration.

"Isn't he in another community?"

"It's true."

Theresa explained.

"But he is the only clergyman in this area who is responsible for receiving exorcism-related incidents, so he went to receive them."

Although Andrew himself has no ability to exorcise demons, he can't just watch Mia, a pregnant woman, being so nervous every day.

For the sake of their lives as a couple and the safety of their unborn child, he decided to overstep his authority and bring the doll into the church to keep it temporarily.

But somehow, he was hit by a car and was in critical condition.

The doll also disappeared and its whereabouts are unknown.
