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

Chapter 366: Home Video, Profile of Horror
The rat infestation that was raging in the city of Hamon was solved in one fell swoop by the Pied Piper.

As a hero who saved the city, the latter should have received the glory and the reward promised in advance.

However, the greedy and incompetent city governor did not fulfill his promise. Instead, he only gave a small reward. Residents along the way who knew the inside story also humiliated the flute player for his wild ideas.

The dishonest and despicable residents finally angered the flute player, who started playing his flute again.

But this time, it was no longer tens of thousands of mice that gathered, but all the children in the town.

The adults wanted to stop it, but found that they could not move at all. They could only watch the children follow the flute player, laugh and leave the town and disappear.

A city without children has no future, and soon it becomes a dead city.

This is the famous fairy tale Pied Piper.

Su Fan grew up in the Western world in this life. When he was a child, Old Man Su saw that he didn't like dealing with other children, so he bought a lot of books for Su Fan to pass the time.

But most of them are fairy tales.

[I never thought that the fairy tales I casually read when I was a child would actually appear in real life. ]

Without thinking about the extraordinary person named Ethan, Su Fan's eyes fell on the items left behind.

"Is he gone already?"

Darcy inquired.

She heard some strange noises and didn't hear Ethan speak for a long time, so she asked this question.

"Ah."

After Su Fan gave an affirmative answer, the scene returned to calm again.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Daisy took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"I called Tom before to invite you to come, but I didn't expect you to come now. There's nothing in the store to entertain you..."

"How about we go out for a cup of afternoon tea together? Of course, it's my treat."

"Afternoon tea can wait until next time."

What Daisy didn't expect was that Su Fan rejected her invitation straightforwardly.

"I came to you this time because I want you to use your ability to help me find a rope."

"of course can."

Upon hearing this, Daisy immediately agreed.

Su Fan didn't expect that the other party would agree so readily, but this was also a good thing as it saved him the effort of explaining the situation.

"What do you need me to do?"

“Just do what you do best.”

As soon as Su Fan said this, Daisy understood everything.

As a medium, she can simply touch things and profile their past with their owners.

It seems that Su Fan wants to use this ability to continuously search for traces of the rope among these cursed objects that are imbued with the power of evil spirits.

This was probably one of the reasons why he asked Ethan to leave the things behind.

But the problem is, judging from Ethan's description, the things he brought are quite dangerous, and touching them is likely to cause serious harm to oneself...

Should I ask for help?
Just as Daisy was hesitating, Su Fan on the opposite side took the initiative to speak.

"Don't worry about your personal safety during your psychic profiling. I will protect you."

Daisy felt relieved after hearing this.

"Then please put those things on the table in front of me."

Su Fan raised his hand, and the cardboard box on the ground floated up and fell into his hand.

After opening it, the layout is revealed.

In order to prevent the cursed objects from colliding with each other and causing resonance.

Ethan specifically used the sacred glass from the church to create simple partitions between the objects.

Placed on the top layer of the square cardboard box are rolls of videotapes with labels on them.

The handwriting on it is not very neat and looks crooked, just like a child's handwriting.

As for the content, it is even more mediocre.

"Family Dinner" and "Family Pool Party" look like videos recording a family's happy life.

But the moment Su Fan opened it, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped a lot.

At the same time, many items in the antique shop began to shake.

Darcy, who had been mentally prepared, immediately clenched her hands, and some sweat came out of her palms.

She stored the collected items in a special way and invited a priest to perform ceremonies every week.

The method learned from the Warrens was very effective, and the cursed creatures have been behaving well for many years.

But now, they began to tremble restlessly, as if the resentment contained in them was about to break through the objects, take shape in space, and take people's lives.

This situation has never happened before!

Su Fan frowned, released some of his aura, and forcefully suppressed all the objects that moved unusually!
The room, which was originally filled with the sound of clanging, suddenly returned to silence.

Just like the boiling excitement of all the beasts, they suddenly felt the roar of a tiger coming from deep in the jungle.

They seemed to understand clearly that their own strength was nothing compared to the owner of this aura.

Anyone who dares to make any unusual move will inevitably face destruction.

Being closest to Su Fan, Daisy could feel the fierce and domineering aura more clearly.

"continue."

Su Fan's voice brought the dazed Daisy back to reality.

"it is good……"

Daisy took the videotape handed to her by Su Fan and began to listen to it carefully.

However, soon after she entered the state, Daisy's originally white pupils suddenly turned upwards uncontrollably!

Her body seemed to be stretched by an unknown force, stretched into a straight line, and convulsed violently. At the same time, the vitality in her body quickly disappeared like a drop of water falling into a dry desert.

not good.

Su Fan was close at hand and quickly raised his hand to rescue.

He placed his index finger on Daisy's forehead to stabilize her spirit, and at the same time began to inject spiritual power into her to protect her body.

After taking these two measures, Daisy's body finally returned to normal and she collapsed softly into the chair.

Her profile was broken, and blood gushed out of her mouth and nose. It was obvious that she had suffered a strong backlash.

In fact, the whole process from Daisy's violent reaction to Su Fan's stabilization took no more than three seconds.

The sudden warning was not wrong. If Daisy had touched the psychic alone, she would have died in just a second.

Su Fan didn't think much about it and immediately took the videotape from his hand.

Human life is at stake. If anything happens to Daisy because of this, Su Fan will be held responsible. It would be wise to stop profiling and provide timely treatment.

As for the human feelings and the slight disrespect before, this time of escaping death is enough.

But what Su Fan didn't expect was that Daxi clenched her hands tightly and refused to let go, and shook her head gently at Su Fan. She couldn't say anything, but her meaning was obvious.

carry on.

Su Fan was silent for a moment, then came behind Daisy, straightened her thin body, put his whole hand on her shoulder, and chanted a spell.

"Tai Shang Tai Xing, constantly adapting to changes, expelling evil spirits and trapping evil spirits, protecting life and body, having clear wisdom, peaceful mind, three eternal souls, and no loss of soul..."

Unlike the high-speed chanting during battle, Su Fan spoke at a moderate speed, with a special tone and rhythm.

Accompanied by a brief pause in Su Fan's voice.

Daisy felt an indescribable force slowly approaching.

Gentle and fresh, like a breeze, blowing away the panic and fear in her heart and returning her to calm.

Not only that, this mysterious power did not disappear, but seemed to stay consciously and continue to play a role.

It was the first time that Daisy had such a magical feeling. This real sense of being protected and secure was something she had never been able to obtain despite countless prayers before.

The strong curiosity in her heart made her suppress her physical discomfort and wanted to turn around and ask.

And Su Fan had already seen through her thoughts.

"The Heart Purifying Mantra is one of the eight great Taoist mantras. It can protect your mind and prevent you from falling into madness and being unable to save yourself."

"Profiling means that one's thoughts and consciousness are synchronized with the person concerned, so it is inevitable that one will be affected by his or her emotions."

"Fear, anger, despair, hatred... these negative emotions will poison your mind and cause you to change unconsciously."

"But now, I'm here. You don't have to worry about that."

"Until the end, my power will protect you at all times, both body and soul."

The voice of the young man behind her was calm and not sonorous, but Kedaqian seemed to feel an incomparable sense of security at this moment.

It was like a cannon fodder going into the battlefield unarmed, suddenly possessing an indestructible full set of armor, holding a spear and a thick shield.

While I am surprised at how powerful I am today, I can't help but sigh about how hard times I lived through in the past.

At this moment, Darcy's confidence suddenly increased.

Even if there is a dangerous cave ahead, she dares to go and try it now.

"Go."

Following Su Fan's instructions, Daisy once again tightly grasped the videotape, her consciousness continuing to sink as if falling into bottomless water.

The defenseless soul was exposed, and just like before, spikes of darkness came from all directions, as if to tear it into pieces.

However, this time, with the blessing of the mantra chanted by Su Fan, Daisy was able to dive deeper without any harm.

In the endless darkness, she finally saw a little light.

When Daqi opened her eyes again, she found herself in a courtyard.

It was not quite correct to say that it was herself, because at this moment, she was completely a bystander.

It's like a second personality split from this body.

Can only watch, cannot manipulate.

Everything in front of me was swaying up and down, accompanied by the swaying skirt hem and the feet wearing small leather shoes that appeared below from time to time.

Darcy finally realized the situation.

She attached herself to the body of a little girl who was playing on a swing.

Through the girl's perspective, Daisy was also able to carefully observe the surrounding situation.

There is nothing special about the residential backyard, but it is always shrouded in a gloomy tone.

In addition, she also noticed a big tree not far away.

The tree stood alone in the courtyard, with lush branches and leaves, but one of the branches had been deliberately sawed off.

The broken branches were not cleaned up and were just left where they were.

Such a strange and unreasonable place seemed to arouse the curiosity of the owner of this body.

The girl gradually stopped the swing she was sitting on, came to the side of the tree, stretched out her little hand and placed it on the rough trunk.

A blurry image suddenly appeared in front of Darcy's eyes.

A man, a woman and two children had sacks put on their heads and ropes put around their necks, connecting them to a tree branch on the other side.

As the saw continued to move, the thick branches broke, and the weight generated lifted up the four bound people.

Their bodies lifted into the air and they kept kicking their feet, trying to find something to support their bodies, but to no avail.

As time passed, the struggles of the four people became more and more intense, and finally at a certain moment, they all stopped.

There was no sound throughout the whole process, only the pictures told the silent fear.

The strange scene seemed to frighten the little girl. She withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and then trotted back into the house.

The same was true for Darcy, who was also watching the scene.

She could feel her heart beating rapidly and her breathing becoming heavier.

Darcy's eyes began to show horrible hallucinations, and the scenery in front of her eyes began to twist irregularly.

At the same time, a dark figure appeared behind his soul...

Suddenly, a gentle strength emerged from Darcy's shoulders and enveloped her heart.

The previously wild and uncontrolled beating miraculously returned to normal frequency in an instant.

As her breathing calmed down, the horrifying images that had appeared before Daisy's eyes gradually disappeared.

Knowing what was going on, she gently covered her heart and unconsciously placed her hand on her left shoulder.

During this time, the girl had come into the house.

She trotted to the study, as if she wanted to seek her father's help, but instead of seeing her father working there, she saw a strange girl.

The latter smiled and took her out of the study and came to the attic.

After climbing up here, Daisy found that this place was already full of children.

They were men and women, sitting neatly on both sides, leaving a seat in the middle. They smiled and silently extended an invitation to the girl that Darcy had profiled.

At this moment, Daisy suddenly felt the joy emerging in the girl's heart.

It was the first time she met so many people of her age, and her long-standing loneliness and depression were relieved.

It was also the first time that I felt the happiness of being valued.

The only thing the girl wants to do now is to fit in with them.

So, Daisy looked at the body and walked step by step to the middle of the children and sat down.

The projector located in the middle of the crowd began to play the film...

On the blank screen, a man in a suit who seemed to be wearing a mask suddenly appeared and walked towards him step by step.

In the end, he landed directly in the middle of the crowd, and then appeared in front of the girl in an instant!
He gently stroked the child's soft golden hair and whispered something in his ear.

"Your father has always wanted to be famous. Don't you want to help him at all?"
