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

Chapter 352 Do you understand what it means to keep up with the times? Stereotypes are not acceptable
It is human instinct to take the easy way out.

It is too tiring to travel long distances on foot, so people came up with means of transportation.

It is too troublesome to calculate long manuscripts, so there are calculation aids such as abacus.

In this way, the technological progress of human society may be driven by the driving force of "enjoying convenience".

But convenience also means an inability to adapt to the past.

People who are familiar with urban life will be in a state of confusion if they are asked to live in the countryside, let alone thrown into the primeval forest.

Therefore, people who solve problems by killing will become dependent on this method.

Bypassing the complicated interpersonal relationships and causal factors, you can rest assured as long as you solve the specific person who caused the problem.

How simple and convenient.

Emma has always done that.

If you can't get the first place in the exam and can only be second, then just give up the first place.

If you meet a teacher who dislikes you and is always unwilling to give you a medal, then get rid of her and get a new one.

As for being discovered by his biological father about what he had done... there was only one way for him to go. After all, the dead were always better at keeping secrets than the living.

As for relatives, even if he is gone, there is still Aunt Angela, and even if Aunt Angela is gone, there will still be others.

Even if all your blood relatives are gone, there will be kind people in society who will adopt you.

She is destined to be loved by everyone and to have the best of everything in the world.

As for the black master tape, in Emma's eyes it was not a curse or bad luck at all.

But it is a gift from God.

Although it is fun to constantly think about how to get rid of others without leaving any trace, the risk of being exposed is still too high.

She didn't care how many families she would be transferred to, but she couldn't help but be curious and investigate.

Once she finds any clues, Emma will make plans again.

This cursed videotape that was obtained by chance can be said to be a perfect solution to the problem Emma was facing.

When supernatural beings kill people, it is impossible to find any clues through modern criminal investigation methods. Even if we know the clues, we can only blame it on the illusory evil spirits.

It's a perfect killing tool.

Deliberately send a videotape to the home of someone you hate, and once the person watches it, they will die within seven days.

Emma plans to use this method to deal with troubles in the future.

But before that, she had to get rid of Angela and Robert's child.

With the birth of the child, Emma has clearly felt the shift in their focus.

That rotten lump of flesh who only knew how to cry and sleep was not worthy of the "love" that should belong to her.

The plan was going very smoothly...but now it seems that there are some minor issues.

"Exorcist……"

Emma kept repeating the word.

I recalled the black-haired young man I met during our previous meeting.

Those black eyes lingered in her mind.

Is it the greed and lust for her beauty?
Emma rejected the idea at the time.

The other person's eyes were as calm as a frozen lake on a winter night, cold without a trace of warmth.

There seemed to be a hint of mockery in it, as if everything had already been known.

This feeling of being seen through made Emma feel disgusted and terrified at the same time.

Maybe the other party really knows something?
Somehow, worry and fear turned into unwillingness. She also didn't know why, but she took the initiative to lift up the hem of her skirt and challenged the young man.

Emma was somewhat relieved that nothing happened after that.

Maybe the other party is really just a bluffing liar.

With this thought in mind, Emma lay on the bed and closed her eyes.

But not long after, her body stood up straight as if a corpse had risen, and then she quickly walked to her desk and opened her laptop.

"Medium...exorcist..."

As her fingertips quickly input keywords, dense text and hyperlinks of various colors appeared in front of her.

Emma, ​​who usually concentrates on her studies and likes to intrigue with others, has never paid attention to similar information.

During my first search, I learned that in America, the superpower across the ocean, paranormal events have been officially acknowledged to exist.

Its impact is rapidly spreading across the world.

The prestige of the Holy See is rising at an unimaginable rate.

[Perhaps joining a monastery and becoming a clergyman in the future would also be a good choice. ]

Emma had no reverence for so-called beliefs or gods. She just felt that only she was worthy of such a good career.

But soon, the content that was searched later attracted her attention.

[Amazing! The battle between the mysterious wizard and the devil, top secret leaked! ]

Emma just opened the video but couldn’t watch it. She suddenly closed her laptop with a grim look on her face.

Black hair, a bland tone without ups and downs, and a lot of yellow papers with mysterious runes spilling out of his pocket...

Everything is exactly the same as the person I met today.

[No...no...maybe the other party has also seen this video and is imitating it on purpose to gain other people's trust? ]

Emma was extremely panicked. Soon she got up and left her house, walking towards the small baby room.

She took off her shoes, walked lightly, careful not to make any noise, and then gently opened the door.

The child in the crib was sleeping soundly and didn't notice a figure approaching.

It was at this moment that the shadow on the ground suddenly began to shake.

The shadows of the trees danced like a woman's black hair dancing wildly in the wind.

A terrifying and weird atmosphere enveloped Emma, ​​who froze in her tracks and immediately left the room.

She is a mentally ill person with mental and ideological problems, not a mentally retarded person who is unaware of the danger!

At that moment, she felt the same eerie fear as the first time she watched the cursed video tape.

If she dares to stay, she will definitely be affected and become the target of the curse again!

But... doesn't this just prove that the so-called amulet of that person is completely ineffective?
Emma smiled when she realized this.

really……

There are not so many coincidences in the world.

An exorcist who can fight demons head-on, why is he not enjoying money and fame in America, but coming to London...

Therefore, the young man was just a poor imitator.

Thinking so, she returned to her room and finally settled down in her bed peacefully.

But this time, Emma did not fall asleep as quickly as before.

She suddenly felt as if there was a ball of fire burning in her abdomen, and her stomach churned.

Without having time to get the trash can in the room, Emma started to dry heave on the bed.

What came out of his mouth was not the dinner he had eaten tonight, but clumps of hair soaked in ice water.

"vomit…………"

She kept vomiting, but her hair seemed endless.

The severe pain and fear made Emma unable to think normally. She could feel something that did not belong to her body, lurking in her abdomen, twisting and wriggling, as if trying to break free.

Emma grabbed the black hair in her throat and pulled it out in one breath. This action caused another round of retching. The itching and pain in her throat made tears flow from her eyes uncontrollably.

But Emma had no time to care about these, she only had one thought now.

Let that weird thing leave your body!
Unfortunately, her actions were meaningless.

The thing in the abdomen kept squirming, and a clear and hideous human face appeared through the pajamas!

Seeing this, Emma rolled off the bed, crawled to the cabinet with difficulty, and knocked it over.

Among the objects scattered on the ground, Emma groped for a pair of scissors.

She untied her nightgown, raised the scissors, and was about to stab, but was suddenly interrupted by a scream.

"Emma! What are you doing?!"

At this moment, all the fear and weirdness seemed to have disappeared, whether it was the itching in the throat or the burning in the abdomen, all disappeared.

Looking down again, there was no strange face, only a plain belly exposed to the air.

Emma was stunned for a moment, and at that moment, the sharp part of the scissors pierced her a little, and the pain was accompanied by the oozing of red blood, proving that everything before her eyes was not a dream.

"Oh my god, Emma...why is this happening..."

Angela rushed forward screaming, snatched the scissors from Emma's hand, and hugged the latter, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

But this concern that was expressed beyond words did not move Emma much.

She just felt that this middle-aged woman was noisy and was hindering her from investigating the truth of the matter.

Emma tried to turn her head and finally saw the place where she had vomited before.

There was no black hair at all, absolutely nothing.

Hallucination…

why?
This was the only question in Emma's mind.

Black hair, that cold aura, and the illusion that only I can see.

All of this is what happens when you are cursed.

She had clearly passed the curse on to an old man.

Emma even observed the other party's death carefully under the name of mourning.

Confirm that the other party did die mysteriously.

It is clear that a suitable scapegoat has been found.

Why does the curse of the videotape appear on me again?
Emma couldn't understand.

But the time now doesn't seem to be enough for her to figure this out.

Because she only has one week left to live.
-
"According to what you said, Katie, Angela and Robert seem to have been cursed by the videotape..."

In the villa, Tom, who had listened to Katie's narration, understood the whole story.

"But how did that videotape end up in their house?"

"Uncle Robert usually has the habit of collecting old things, and movie master tapes from the second-hand market are his favorite. Maybe they were brought home at that time."

Katie recalled the past memories in her mind.

After all, Uncle Robert is her father's blood brother, and his attitude towards her is a little better than that of her aunt.

But only a little.

"If you think about it carefully, you will find many unreasonable things."

"Even if you have a videotape at home, someone has to insert it and play it."

"If it was Robert, he should be the first one to be cursed."

"And Emma, ​​why did nothing happen before, but something went wrong the day she took the initiative to take over the care work?"

“There are just too many coincidences.”

Katie also had some doubts in her mind, but she didn't think too deeply about it.

The power of evil spirits can move objects at will and cause supernatural phenomena.

It doesn't seem like a big deal to have a TV set automatically play a videotape.

"coincide?"

While the two were talking, Su Fan walked out of his room.

"Once or twice is accidental, but when low-probability events happen one after another, it is inevitable that they are deliberately caused by humans."

"Emma lost her mother at a young age, and then her father. Not only that, but murders also occurred one after another around her."

"Do you believe that there is no connection at all?"

Tom looked confused when he heard Su Fan's speech.

"Su, how do you know her past experiences... Did you get her birth date?"

At this point, he suddenly realized.

"Did you ask the police to retrieve her date of birth? And then used that to make a chart?"

"No, I just had the police send her past experiences to my email."

Su Fan's answer shattered Tom's fantasy that he was smart and omniscient.

"Um... I thought..."

"It's useless not to read the more clear and intuitive information. Do you know what it means to keep up with the times?"

Su Fan felt that he needed to break Tom's stereotype.

With the development of smart phones, people no longer have to think about fortune-telling in their minds, but use mobile phone apps directly.

There are countless Taoists who watch short videos when they have nothing to do.

Sometimes, people in the Xuanmen are much more fashionable than the public imagines.

"I have sent the relevant information to your two email addresses. You can read it yourself."

After hearing this, Katie immediately took out her computer and checked her email.

Sure enough, I saw a lot of information in it.

After reading it carefully, he frowned.

That Emma is like the heroine in a tragic novel.

She was plagued by bad luck all the time, suspected by others, and even her own father was so crazy that he wanted to kill her.

But even after experiencing all this, he still maintained a kind and optimistic attitude, which was highly praised by everyone.

They may even feel pity for her tragic experience and devote more care to her.

"Just looking at it makes me want to vomit..."

Behind Katie, Tom leaned forward and curled his lips.

Katie herself figured everything out based on the clues and Su Fan's previous subtle attitude towards Emma.

If Emma was the mastermind behind those murders, does that mean that this cursed videotape is also closely related to her?

"Don't panic. She said before that if it doesn't work, she will come to collect the debt herself."

Su Fan smiled when he saw Katie's struggling expression.

"Besides, if she is stingy with the money, it's hard to say who will be the unlucky one."
