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

Chapter 214: Anne, the Chosen Prey, Theresa's Sin

The headless body fell down, and soon a pool of blood appeared.

But in the blink of an eye, the corpse, blood, and skull fragments scattered on the ground all disappeared.

Su Fan, who watched all of this, narrowed his eyes slightly.

This was the devil Malthus's provocation to him.

Just at this moment, the phone suddenly rang.

"Mr. Su Fan, there is news about the matter you asked us to investigate."

The caller of the strange phone call was an agent who had just been separated for a short time.

……

Adam and Davis used their identities as agents to temporarily requisition computers in the hospital.

At this moment, the screen was playing surveillance footage sent by the police station.

The priest was walking towards the church, but not long after, he was suddenly knocked away by something and fell heavily to the ground.

The doll in his arms fell to the side.

Soon, he was taken away by a woman in white clothes.

The scary thing is that this woman never took a step while moving, and her whole body seemed to be floating in the air.

"The person who took the doll away was a woman in white. According to the attachment sent by the police, her identity is Annabelle Higgins, who is supposed to have committed suicide."

After uttering this name, Adam and Davis suddenly discovered that in the surveillance footage on the computer in front of them, the woman stopped and actually looked up in the direction of the surveillance camera!
At this moment, the evil spirit with the appearance of a woman seemed to be staring at them through the screen and the barriers of time and space!

Adam and Davis felt a chill all over their bodies, and that gaze was full of malice.

It was as if an ice-cold, invisible hand penetrated their skin, muscles, and bones and grasped their hearts!
Davis was quick to act and immediately turned on the power of the host.

As the picture disappeared, the two returned to normal.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, but it felt so long to them.

After taking two breaths, Adam continued speaking.

"After the doll was taken away by the woman, it somehow ended up in a doll shop in the next district."

"Then it was bought by an old lady and sent to the xxx studio in Los Angeles."

"The movie being filmed in the studio is the sequel to the popular The Princess Diaries."

……

After listening to the agent's brief summary, Su Fan hung up the phone.

Anne Hathaway.

This female movie star, who had not been in contact for a long time, was chosen as the prey.

why?

Was it because of the close encounter he had with Anne Hathaway during the Freddy Kills?

Or was it because of Anne's Catholic beliefs and her desire to become a nun?

Su Fan didn't have time to think about this carefully.

The distance between the studio and the hospital is not too far, and it can be reached in less than ten minutes by car.

During this time, can Anne resist the invasion of evil?
Theresa on the side felt the change in the atmosphere around Su Fan and guessed that Su Fan already knew where the puppet was.

Without saying anything, when Su Fan got in the car, she quickly walked forward, opened the door, threw the box on the back seat, and then sat in the passenger seat.

The two of them no longer felt as relaxed as when they came. Within a few minutes after leaving the hospital, there was no other sound in the car except the roar of the engine.

"What is the name of the demon we are facing?"

After a while, Theresa was the first to break the silence.

"Malthus, 38th of Solomon's Demon Gods."

"Is it strong?"

Theresa asked.

"Not sure. The order of the seventy-two demon gods is based on the order in which they responded to Solomon's first summons, not their strength, but they should be strong."

Su Fan answered simply.

"If you find something wrong later, don't take out the cross to participate in the exorcism."

"I know."

Theresa nodded. She had heard similar stories when she was undergoing exorcism training.

A priest who didn't have enough power himself, but tried to perform an exorcism by force.

The fingers holding the cross were broken one by one, and then the body and the cross suddenly caught fire until they were completely burned to ashes.

Bashiba is so difficult to deal with simply because he has received the blessing from the demon god.

Theresa couldn't imagine how powerful the demon she was about to face was.

"... Two months ago, the abbey told me that my father had died."

Suddenly, Theresa spoke softly.

"After my mother died, he became depressed and strictly prohibited any mention of my gift of seeing strange visions."

"At the same time, all the housework is thrown to me."

“Even after I entered the monastery, they would come to my door from time to time and ask for money.”

"After hearing the news of his death, although I felt sad, in a corner, I actually felt a little relieved and relaxed."

"After I found out about this, I was horrified and filled with guilt."

"I shouldn't have such emotions when I spend the whole day in the monastery listening to teachings."

"I couldn't help but wonder, am I happy that my own father is dead?"

Theresa's voice was so soft that it would be drowned out by the roar of the engine if one wasn't careful.

“This is so sinful.”

"For this reason, I kneel before the cross again and again, hoping to receive God's forgiveness."

"It wasn't until a few days before departure that things started to get a little better."

“As a daughter, I failed to comfort my father’s grief over the loss of my mother, and instead used him as a shackle to restrain myself.

Even after believing in God, I did not change my mind..."

She stopped talking and waited for the young man's answer.

Su Fan still looked straight ahead, as if he had not heard what Theresa said at all.

But soon after, a calm voice sounded beside the nun.

"Why are you telling me this? Do you want me to rebuke your sins?"

"No, I just want to speak out the darkness hidden in my heart."

Theresa shook her head.

"Devils will use the sin and pain in people's hearts to create many illusions and undermine people's will."

"I can't help much with the exorcism afterwards, but at least I don't want to be a burden to you."

"I fully understand your thoughts."

Su Fan nodded slightly.

“I actually have a little opinion, would you like to hear it?

"Ah."

"My opinion is that you have too high a moral standard for yourself. This is wrong and will only make you suffer."

Theresa's eyes flashed with confusion.

"Don't you think it's too weird? It's not right to set high moral standards for yourself."

“Love is compassionate and magnanimous, and one can forgive and pray for even those who are hostile and murderous toward oneself.”

"In your teachings, there are only a handful of people who can do this, except Jesus and the famous saints."

"You are just a novice nun. To hold yourself to the standards of Christ and the saints is just another form of arrogance."

"Too high is arrogance, too low becomes a sinner."

"So, you have to figure out the scale yourself."

"To sum it up, that's about it."

Theresa didn't have time to think carefully about the meaning of Su Fan's words.

The car braked suddenly to a stop.

"arrive."
