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

Chapter 399: A creature watered with the blood of demons, Caius is the first to get clues

The invisible wind blade broke through the air and cut off all the tentacles cleanly and neatly.

Twisted human flesh tissue was flying in the air. Caius, who saw this scene, suddenly recalled the memory of an hour ago.

The shattered flesh whiskers did not remain silent. Driven by an unknown force, they began to grow wildly, until they became exactly the same as before.

"Be careful, they will multiply themselves..."

Caius stopped talking midway.

His extraordinary dynamic vision can clearly capture the changes occurring to the scattered pieces of meat in the air.

The flesh and blood of those monsters did not begin to regenerate and expand as before. Instead, they shrank and turned black, just like flowers and plants that had lost all nutrients and withered and rotted.

Before it hit the ground, it turned into black powder and was swept away by the strong wind caused by the previous attack, and hit the gray fog outside hard.

No regeneration?

Before Caius could think more, a loud roar came from outside.

The broken rock slid down the gap and fell to the ground.

Caius and Hariya stared at the wall that was cut together and was neatly cut, and their eyelids twitched.

It's not like they haven't seen vampires (superhumans) who use the power of natural elements, but it shouldn't exist that they can control it so finely and unleash such terrifying power.

Even if the wind blade is compressed to the extreme, it cannot cause the same damage.

Beyond that, there must be a mysterious power that only he can use, which increases the destructive power.

What exactly is that?
Caius and Halia didn't want to ask, nor did they dare to ask. They said nothing and just followed Su Fan towards deeper places.

As Su Fan walked, he kept recalling the details mentioned in Caius's previous narration.

According to the content of the conversation between the two people, the man with the accent should be the mastermind behind the blockade of the building, while the other party is an assistant.

The two reached some kind of deal to use the humans currently in the building as nourishment for some kind of ritual (existence).

In other words, the fate of those who are currently in the banquet hall on the top floor has already been determined.

It seems that the rescue efforts from the outside world are going to fail at the moment, and the collaborators will definitely not let anyone interfere.

Although Su Fan himself had never expected any group to come to help, the people upstairs probably didn't think so.

People who are used to a comfortable and leisurely life of fine clothes and delicious food will not risk their lives.

What's the point of playing with life? How can you enjoy life if you don't have life?

They lack the courage to give it a try. Unless it really comes to the last moment, they are probably unwilling to abandon their elegance and decency and embark on a journey of escape.

That's why he said before that it was too unrealistic to try to unite all forces to investigate and eliminate Lawrence and others who were behind the scenes.

There was no other sound on the stairs except the footsteps of a few people.

Su Fan had just tried his hand at it, and the strength he displayed had completely conquered the unruly vampire prince.

The latter walked just half a step behind Su Fan, with his head lowered and his eyes submissive, as if he was born to be a follower.

When they passed the corner, everyone was finally able to take a close look at the marks left by Su Fan's wind blade.

The notch was incredibly smooth and neat, as if it had been carefully polished.

If someone is not aware of this, they might think that this is a special viewing platform reserved in advance during construction.

They were all shocked by its terrifying destructive power and sharpness, except Su Fan, the creator of this scene, who frowned slightly.

The wind blade he had just slashed out already contained the intent of swordsmanship. After killing the monster, it also effortlessly penetrated the wall of the building.

But even so, it still couldn't break through the blockade of the gray fog outside.

The slashing attack was like a drop in the ocean, causing no sound at all.

That layer of gas, which seemed to have life, was still flowing around the outside of the building.

Unlike what he had encountered before, the source of this fog must be closer to the "root".

It seems that Dali cannot perform a miracle, so he can only find another way.

[It's a pity that my current spatial attainments are not enough to open the shuttle door. ]

Su Fan thought of the mysterious stone box he placed in the Hu Tian space.

The function of the stone box is that it can even connect to other dimensions, so escaping from the barrier should not be a problem.

But since it was last used, cracks have appeared on it and it will not last long before it is destroyed.

And because of the previous contamination of the devil's aura, he might be teleported into the devil's cave.

Therefore, it can only be used as a backup when there is really no other way to escape.

Su Fan glanced at Theresa beside him.

If he acted alone, there would be no problem whether he escaped or fought head-on, but with one more person, he still had to be cautious.

But that doesn't matter.

In order to make ends meet at the antique shop, he got involved in the Mary Shaw murder doll incident without any experience.

Now that my realm has been elevated and I have many means at my disposal, I will at least be able to protect someone around me.

It's nothing more than taking the trouble to unravel the mystery behind it.

He was already accustomed to this kind of decryption before getting close to the truth.

"This is really strange..."

After a moment, Caius suddenly spoke.

It was this sound that made Hariya on the side nervous.

"how?"

"When I came up here earlier, there were all those weird and ugly flesh whiskers everywhere. Why didn't I see any on my way down?"

"Of course they can't all disappear. The only answer is that the power wandering in the building has been gathered together."

Su Fan spoke in this way, answering Caius's doubts.

"why?"

The latter still looked confused and didn't understand, his pair of brown-gold eyes revealed the stupidity and dullness of a high school student.

"Aren't there still humans on the top floor?"

"And there is also a group of extraordinary people."

Hariya also added some explanation.

"Although it may sound a bit self-boasting to add this point now, those who are chosen by the upper class to be bodyguards are not simple characters."

"Once everyone agrees, it will be a powerful force."

"Perhaps the guy who did this is sure that the people above can't unite?"

Theresa's harmless words suddenly enlightened Hariya and made her make a guess.

Among the many extraordinary people attending the banquet, could there be an insider who is the mastermind behind the incident?
The thought that came to her mind belatedly made Hariya feel a chill down her spine, as if she had discovered a poisonous snake coiled under the bed where she usually slept soundly.

[That is to say, he had already thought of this when he was about to leave the hall.]

Hariya looked at Su Fan with doubt and surprise.

The image of the latter in his mind was almost equivalent to that of a prophet in legend, indescribably profound and unfathomable. Su Fan had no interest in his startled reactions.

Instead, he began to observe the surrounding environment.

He paced in this silent and deserted space, his figure reflected in the mirror on the wall.

The gym equipment was in mint condition, without a speck of dust, and you could even smell the plastic odor emanating from it.

The treadmills are still running, but no one knows where the people who could use them have gone.

Halia and Caius stood respectfully at the back and did not go forward. Only Theresa could not resist her curiosity and wanted to see what Su Fan was observing. As a result, she blushed as soon as she went over.

The walls of gyms usually have posters of healthy men and women. On the one hand, they promote exercise and fitness, and on the other hand, they also stimulate hormones.

At this moment, Su Fan was staring at the lower body of a female model on the wall who had a thin waist and long legs and was wearing revealing yoga clothes.

"Su...you are looking at..."

Theresa was about to ask when she saw Su Fan actually reaching out his hand towards the special part of the portrait!

Hariya and Caius, who were waiting quietly behind the two men, subconsciously looked away.

This is not something they can bear to see, so they should just pretend to be blind.

But just as they were about to turn around, they caught a glimpse of Su Fan extending his finger again.

Such an iconic move immediately reminded the two of the horrific attack before, and they subconsciously stopped their actions.

What does he want to do?
Attack aimlessly and then lure out the mastermind?
But this time, the two did not wait for the same earth-shattering attack as before.

The wind blade tore the poster above just right, peeling it off completely, allowing Theresa and others below to see the existence hidden underneath.

The flesh beats like a heart, and is covered with twisted and swollen blood vessels.

Its surface is covered with a sticky transparent liquid, which expands and contracts slowly and powerfully as if it can breathe. Every time it moves, it emits a strange red light.

The flesh and blood slowly spread and squirmed upwards, and everyone who saw it felt a chill.

"I swear, in all the thousands of years I've lived, I've never seen anything so disgusting."

Caius said this with a grim look on his face.

"What exactly is this?"

"Is it made of the flesh and blood of murdered humans, just like the previous tentacles?"

"Please don't come near."

Hariya was about to step forward, but was stopped by Theresa.

"Unlike the previous ones, this bone and blood contains the evil power of the devil. If you approach it rashly, you will die."

The former obeyed and did as he was told, not because Theresa was as majestic and powerful as Su Fan, but because her tone and expression were completely different from before.

Theresa, who had been following Su Fan before, was always gentle, polite and leisurely.

It seems that he is completely unaware of the danger hidden inside this building.

Therefore, Haliya subconsciously regarded it as a "vase" that Su Fan carried with him.

Only now did she realize how wrong she was.

How could the person who could travel with that person be just a simple canary?
Theresa's surroundings were dotted with white lights. The moment this gentle and holy power appeared, it seemed as if darkness and weirdness retreated away.

Even Su Fan looked sideways at such an attitude.

She folded her fingers, prayed for a moment, then stepped forward, using the power surrounding her body to dissolve the demonic power that had accumulated in her flesh and blood.

The whole process went so smoothly it was unbelievable.

"Bravo! The young lady's abilities are much better than those third-rate priests. It's really eye-opening."

Amid Caius' applause and loud praise, Theresa turned and looked at Sufan.

"how?"

"very nice."

Su Fan nodded sincerely.

Demons are inherently vicious. The evil spirit and resentment left in their bones and blood after death are even more intense than those of ordinary people, and cannot be compared to ordinary evil spirits.

Theresa purified it easily by herself. Judging from this ability alone, she is already the strongest person Su Fan knows.

Theresa was in a great mood after receiving Su Fan's praise, and the curve of her mouth became a little more obvious.

"Even the flesh and blood of demons are used to make this kind of thing..."

Hariya looked a little dazed.

Having grown up in an environment where various Bible-based sects flourished, even if you are not a religious person, you have heard of the power and evil of the devil.

The invincible existence that only appeared in legends was now being used as nourishment to create monsters. The gap was so great that she found it hard to accept.

"Surprised? Demons are not superior to humans. In front of more powerful beings, they can only be slaughtered."

Su Fan said this and casually cleared away the disgusting evil creature.

Flesh and blood that have lost their resentment and strength have no outstanding features except that their defense is slightly stronger than steel.

As it turned into powder, the other three were ready to turn around and leave, only Su Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

At the moment before the piece of meat disappeared, Su Fan caught a glimpse of a strange yet somewhat familiar rune on the wall.

It disappeared so quickly that he couldn't even see clearly what was written on it.

The reason why it is familiar is that its structure is different from the simple runes or other texts, and the overall style is similar to talismans.

Or rather...it was simply a talisman.

Accent... Talisman... Sect... Mysterious person... Abandoned child...

The mist covering the building... the spy among the extraordinary... the newborn vampire...

Su Fan did not tell anyone else about this matter, but just thought about the connection between these clues in his mind.

At the same time, he silently opened his spiritual sense and covered the other three that were not far away in the detection range.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

The floor under Su Fan's feet could not be penetrated by his spiritual sense.

To this day, Su Fan has never seen such a special material that can block spiritual consciousness, nor has he ever heard of such an existence.

Could it be that……

Su Fan stopped, raised his foot, and kicked the floor lightly.

A dull and subtle sound was heard. He listened carefully and then let out a breath.

I didn't expect such a situation to happen. It seems that if I encounter flesh tentacles and similar monsters again, I can't kill them casually.

"I found an important clue."

Suddenly, Caius' excited voice was heard not far away.

A few people looked in the direction of the voice and saw him coming to everyone with an interested look in his hand, holding a cell phone with a dim screen.

"Stored here are recordings from when the incident happened and earlier. Perhaps we can get important information from them."
