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

Chapter 364: Daisy Calls
"You did the right thing."

Su Fan nodded slightly, acknowledging the small details of the legend that Tom had written down.

James is not an ordinary drunk with a confused mind. He has a clear mind and a strong body, far better than most people.

Since he said something was fishy, ​​he must have relevant evidence.

"You can pay more attention to the news from the police station recently. If there is anything, James will definitely notify them."

Katie reminded Tom.

"Such a low-level and off-the-beaten-path urban legend should not be necessary."

Tom looked at Su Fan with some concerns.

Human power is limited. Although Su Fan is powerful, there is no need for him to interfere in all the strange events.

Moreover, this could be just a coincidence.

"Just keep an eye on it, don't focus on it. Compared to those, what I want to know is the recent whereabouts of the ghost nun."

Su Fan gave the answer and at the same time mentioned the name that was almost a taboo in the hearts of Katie and her brother.

Is the decisive battle coming?
Katie's heart tightened.

During the time they spent together, she also got a general idea of ​​Su Fan's temper.

The latter treats the enemy ruthlessly, killing them all if possible, and never delaying until tomorrow if the problem can be solved today.

Now when mentioning the ghost nun, the idea of ​​killing her comes to mind, and it is time to put it into action.

The atmosphere at the scene changed, and Katie and Tom's expressions became solemn and serious, like military advisers about to provide advice to the commander.

"I have actually been investigating this. I have discovered a lot of information about the other party."

Katie took a deep breath and began to speak slowly.

She memorized all this information clearly in her mind, without leaving any paper records.

The power of the devil is extremely strong. She once heard that if one is not a professional exorcist, simply calling out the devil's real name or recording his totem will cause the devil to respond.

This would undoubtedly be fatal for them who were fleeing. Therefore, the trivial information they found on the Internet and other places was ambiguous and even somewhat evasive.

However, she still managed to filter out the true parts through her own thinking and integration, summarize the useful information, and keep it in mind.

"Incidents involving that guy have occurred all over the world. As a being that was once an angel, it is not particularly vulnerable to sacred objects. It can even absorb the power of such things to strengthen itself."

"In order to find a certain holy relic, the other party once set off a famous church self-immolation incident in Florence, which shocked the whole of Europe for a time."

Su Fan frowned when he heard that.

In Western beliefs, self-immolation is an act of suicide with a strong religious connotation.

The burning of flames not only means pain, but also represents the purification after the burning.

Burning a priest who believed in God in a church meant a strong insult and extreme contempt for Jehovah.

Even after all this has happened, Jehovah has not taken any action yet, which is really unacceptable.

A church with a long history should be home to a considerable amount of faith and holy power, so it shouldn't be unable to protect a priest.

In this age of waning faith, isn't it killing two birds with one stone to occasionally perform miracles and defend the glory of God?
However, this is not the point.

"Which holy object?"

Su Fan remembered that the only remaining blood of Jesus should have been used up in the last seal. Could it be the legendary Spear of Longinus?

If this is true, Su Fan is quite interested.

"The Eyes of Saint Lucy."

Katie paused and began to explain to Su Fan.

Saint Lucy is a famous martyr in Catholic legends. She was a strong believer and kindhearted, and she never wavered even after many persecutions. God’s miracles were also manifested in her.

The persecutors attempted to drag her to a brothel to humiliate her, but they were unable to lift her body, not even using a bullock cart.

They fetched some dry wood, hoping to burn him alive, but even the raging fire could not hurt him at all.

Seeing that they were unable to persecute Lucy using conventional execution methods, the evil people dug out her eyes.

"The incident with Saint Lucy must have happened hundreds of years ago, right? Wouldn't your eyes be dry after so long?"

At this point, Tom interrupted.

"It should have been shrunk into two layers of skin."

The speech with unique train of thought eased the somewhat serious atmosphere in the room.

"The relics of saints cannot be judged by common sense, and even if they are shriveled, the power attached to them will not be weakened in the slightest."

"So will you do it or not?"

"..."

Even Su Fan was a little uncomfortable with Tom. Seeing Katie's silence, he was ready to move and quickly brought the topic back on track.

"That thing has obtained the Eye of Saint Lucy, right?"

"Ah."

Katie nodded.

"After her strength is enhanced, she can travel any distance. She no longer needs to live in a person to move freely like before."

"The evidence is that it appeared in America in the morning, and then caused a tragic murder in Britain within a few hours.

There is no means of transportation that can do this currently available to humans.”

"If you want to fight it, the first thing you should consider is to block its escape route."

Su Fan is indeed powerful, but from the past to now, he has never demonstrated any spatial abilities.

If you fail to kill with one blow, the opponent will escape and recuperate, and will soon come back.

"Don't worry about that. I have my own way."

But contrary to Katie's expectations, Su Fan didn't seem to care about what she said, but gestured for her to continue.

Could it be that he still has some hidden cards that he hasn't revealed yet?

"Oh well."

After Katie finished speaking, she continued.

"Because they wanted to seize the ancient mirror, their activities were confined to London and its surrounding areas for most of this year."

"The traces of activity are Barnett, Brent, and Harrow..."

The movement trajectory of the ghost nun that Katie mentioned also represents the process of their move.

Within a year, Katie and Tom moved constantly to different areas of Outer London, and judging from the sequence, some of the moves were so long that they could almost be described as fleeing in panic.

I think he was trying his best to avoid the other party's pursuit and subconsciously wanted to stay away. After finding it useless, he could only deal with it.

Katie thought the hardships were not worth telling others and never talked about them with Su Fan.

Now that it was mentioned, the latter also sighed in his heart.

"The last one is here, Enfield."

“There are quite a few churches and monasteries here in Enfield, but so far there has never been any unusual incident reported.”

"But I guess the other party should have already sneaked in, but just didn't expose himself."

Unlike ordinary churches where masses can be held, monasteries where nuns live generally have little contact with the outside world and most of them are located in the suburbs.

Once they are completely destroyed, no one will notice it for a short period of time.

"The monasteries in the suburbs are the focus of attention. I have already screened the list, but if someone can help investigate during the day, the effect will be better."

The reason why Katie did not directly choose to check the monastery that had not communicated with the outside world for a long time was because she considered the possibility that the other party used illusions.

With the power of the devil, it is natural for him to control corpses to be resurrected in a short period of time and disguise themselves as normal.

Therefore, the testimonies of ordinary people are not very reliable.

After hearing this, Tom chuckled.

"In addition to the police, we actually have two helpers."

"Who?"

Katie was curious.

"Sasha and David."

Sasha was, of course, the friend Tom met in the mental health institution, but who was David?

Even Su Fan turned his head to look at him, waiting for his further explanation.

"Su, you are really a forgetful person. David is the young man we rescued last time when we went to the police station to look for something."

Tom complained.

It turned out that David was a worker in a large forestry company in London.

He usually has a good personality and wide friends, and can use work as an excuse to go to the villages near the monastery to collect information.

"Thanks to Sufan, David's original life sentence was reduced to one year, and he will be a free man after parole."

"Young people have relatively little savings, but they want to repay you for saving their lives, so they contacted me and told me to let me know if they need any help."

Hearing this, Katie couldn't help but nodded.

He is a good young man who knows how to repay kindness.

Why doesn't she encounter such a thing?
Thinking of Amber whom she had met before, Katie felt a little upset.

But Su Fan did not accept it as Katie and Tom thought, but shook his head slightly.

"Too dangerous."

The Ghost Nun is one of the seventy-two demons. She has strange methods and great power. If ordinary people go to investigate, their intentions will be quickly discovered by the other party and they will lose their lives.

If possible, he didn't want to involve irrelevant people.

Especially a good young man like David who knows how to repay kindness, and a kind person like Sasha who has a tragic fate.

"Then let's just let the plainclothes police go, just like last time, and give each of them a talisman, what do you think?"

Tom felt that the talisman was such a precious thing that anyone with a discerning eye could see its value.

Running errands can give you a chance to save your life from the evil hands. With a little consideration, you will know which choice to make.

But Su Fan still shook his head.

The evil-suppressing talisman is not very effective against the Grudge, and there is currently no better way to enhance it.

If ordinary people want to save their lives from the attacks of the ghost nun, the number of talismans must be increased.

But how many is enough?

"Then you plan to..."

Tom and Katie were a little confused about what Su Fan was trying to do, and were waiting for his plan.

"It would be great if we could find something that has been tainted by the ghost nun's scent."

It would be too troublesome to go to each household to investigate one by one, so the first thing that came to Su Fan's mind was the mysterious stone box he got from An Bei.

If the attempt is successful, you might be able to catch the opponent off guard.

"This does exist."

Katie’s words made Su Fan’s eyes light up.

"where?"

"I don't know exactly where it is, I just know it's a rope."

"rope?"

Tom was confused.

“While searching for the holy relic that could restore their strength, the other party slaughtered countless nuns and priests.

When the demon was about to succeed, the only nun who had not yet been controlled chose to hang herself with a rope to prevent her body from being possessed by the demon and causing the holy object to become a tool for the demon to strengthen itself.

"In theory, a person who commits suicide cannot enter heaven, but because of the nun's spirit of self-sacrifice, her soul was taken away by the open heaven on the spot."

"The guy witnessed this scene with his own eyes. In anger, he shook her hanged body and cast a curse on the hemp ropes that bound the nun, causing her body to bleed continuously. It did not stop until she was found two weeks later."

"That rope has its remaining power and aura. As an ominous object, it should have been purified by the local church, but before that, it was taken away by someone."

"What are you going to do with that thing?"

Tom thought it was a bit ridiculous.

It is not surprising that good things that are blessed are snatched up by people, but is there anyone who would buy something that would bring bad luck or even be dangerous if touched?
Just at this moment, Su Fan on the side suddenly spoke up and cleared up his doubts.

"For devil believers, anything tainted with their aura is a valuable object that can be used as an offering."

"It is like the Ark of the Covenant to the Bible-based religions."

Katie continued to explain only after Su Fan finished speaking.

"The incident took place in Romania, but a hundred years have passed, and no one knows where the hemp rope is now."

Without any clues, finding an ordinary rope in Europe is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.

Su Fan might be able to interpret its approximate location through fortune-telling, but he would not be able to locate it accurately.

Compared with this, it would be better to visit the monasteries located in remote areas of Enfield one by one.

The conversation paused for a moment, Su Fan frowned, and suddenly an idea came to him.

Just then, Tom's phone rang.

The former took a look and found it was an unfamiliar number. He was about to hang up but was interrupted by Su Fan.

"catch."

The latter's simple instructions did not confuse Tom. He followed the instructions and turned on the speaker after pressing the button.

"Is that Tom?"

A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me. May I ask who you are?"

"…I'm Darcy."

The image of the imposing short blind medium suddenly emerged in Tom's mind.

The latter was able to hold her own in the debate with many people in the police station. If Su Fan had not produced evidence that made her speechless on the spot, she would not have known how to refute with her stupid mouth.

"What's the matter?!"

Tom's tone was lukewarm.

The other party accepted Su Fan's help, but he did not show any enthusiastic gratitude. Instead, he avoided him like a snake or scorpion.

This reaction is really chilling.

Su Fan didn't care, but he felt uncomfortable!

Perhaps sensing the unhappiness in Tom's tone, Darcy's tone became much gentler than at the beginning, and there was also a hint of apology in it.

"I'm calling this time to formally thank you for your help that time."

"I was shocked and terrified at the time... I would like to apologize for my behavior at that time."

"Recently, my antique shop has been basically renovated. Please tell Mr. Su Fan that you can come here anytime if you are free. If you like anything, just take it away."
