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

Chapter 450

"Isn't fairness good?"

Benjamin subconsciously connected this to the many disgusting inside stories within the newspaper.

"Fairness means treating everyone equally, without personal feelings. But people are inherently emotional, and it's inevitable that they'll act on impulse in certain situations, but..."

However, Su rarely experiences this situation nowadays.

Jamie's gaze gradually turned heavy.

Su was fine when they first met, but as time went on, he found it increasingly difficult to feel any emotion from her.

An absolutely correct and powerful arbiter is certainly desirable, as it would have a very positive effect on the world and even on all of humanity.

But if the price is that Su Fan loses his humanity and becomes an emotionless adjudication process, Jamie feels that this might not be so good.

"Never mind that. I have a favor to ask you since you're here today."

"I?"

Benjamin subconsciously pointed to himself.

"What can I do? Help that gentleman write a statement to restore his reputation?"

"No, I want you to investigate who those survivors are and what the building was like before the incident."

Jamie took a file folder out of his trench coat.

“The cult that launched this attack is not only active in London; its presence has also been seen in North America and Asia. I suspect this was just a probing operation by them.”

Benjamin glanced around before opening the file folder, making sure no one was watching before he began to look through it.

However, he closed it again after reading only two pages.

"Have you considered your own safety? We are just ordinary people with no power. Why can't we live our lives quietly and let professionals handle these things?"

Take Su Fan, for example.

"It's not that simple."

Jamie's smile was somewhat bitter.

"Once you know something, you can no longer ignore it as before. When you have a different perspective on the world, a strong sense of fear arises in your heart."

If I don't do something, I think my spirit will break down first.

"...What a terrible vortex."

"It's not a whirlpool, it's a wave."

Jamie corrects Benjamin.

"Everyone is currently in the midst of a massive upheaval, and if they don't find a suitable way to survive as soon as possible, they will not have a good ending."

As the two were talking, a restaurant waiter brought over an appetizer from behind.

Just as she was about to reach the table where Jamie and Jamie were, she stepped on a puddle and lost her balance, causing the plate in her hand to come flying toward the back of Jamie's head.

Unexpectedly, the latter suddenly turned his head and narrowly avoided the attack.

The waiter quickly apologized and came forward to clean up.

But Benjamin's gaze remained fixed on Jamie's face the entire time.

"you……"

Even if you had eyes in the back of your head, you wouldn't be able to react to such a sudden situation.

But Jamie dodged it perfectly.

Excluding the possibility of chance, could it be that he...

“I understand. It seems you’ve had your own experiences during this time. But what about me? Those lunatics will definitely try to kill me to cover it up once they find out they’re being investigated.”

Jamie remained silent, but took out a mysterious object wrapped in oil paper from his trench coat and placed it on the table.

The weight of the product made Benjamin's eyelids twitch.

He knew what was inside; a mere pistol wouldn't surprise him, given his American heritage. He was just more curious about Jamie's ability to procure firearms in London.

"Firearms are sufficient to deal with ordinary superhumans; not everyone has the extraordinary strength of Su Fan."

"However, besides superhumans, you should also be wary of other things."

Jamie explained the information about ghosts and demons to him bit by bit. Benjamin's gaze shifted from initial astonishment and admiration to suspicion and curiosity, and then to bewilderment and numbness.

"These are all the things to note. Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Jamie, who had been talking for so long, was clearly a bit thirsty, so he picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip.

"Have."

"where?"

"Where did you get this knowledge from?"

"Most of it was told to me by Su, and the rest of the trivial details were my own discoveries."

Jamie glanced at his watch, pulled out a napkin from the side, and wrote down a phone number.

"I have other things to do, so I won't be able to have this meal with you. This is a phone card I got in Britain; you can call me if anything happens."

"I'm leaving the investigation to you."

He got up and walked out of the restaurant, his eyes somewhat dazed.

During this period, things didn't go smoothly for him either; he encountered evil spirits several times.

In the end, it was only thanks to the knowledge Su Fan had taught him, a bit of luck, and this changed body that he was able to escape danger.

He could feel his own reactions and strength, which were much stronger than before, and even his sixth sense was ridiculously accurate.

This is also why he was able to dodge the plates that suddenly flew at him in the restaurant earlier.

Strangely, Jamie did not discover that he had any extraordinary abilities.

Perhaps only Su Fan can figure out the principle behind this change, but until then, he needs to continue investigating that mad cult.

……

"Is the situation any better?"

Su Fan withdrew his hand and asked Alice, who was sitting in front of him.

"Ah."

Alice nodded slightly, then raised her hand and touched her eyelids.

"Unbelievable, your power can even repair a vampire's body."

"I originally thought it would take at least a week to fully recover. But now less than a day has passed..."

"It's not a repair."

Su Fan took out hot water and tea leaves from his spatial storage and began to brew them at a leisurely pace.

"Vampires themselves have remarkable self-healing abilities. It's just that your eyes have been corrupted by the power of the mysterious being you were spying on. Once you eliminate this energy, the rest is up to your own body."

"is it?"

Alice tilted her head.

"But why do I feel like my body has changed? I seem to be in better condition than before I was injured."

"You're just imagining things."

Su Fan sniffed the aroma of the tea, seemingly unconcerned about what Alice had said.

"Thank you for taking care of her during this time... She's such a lovely little angel. She's completely different from the members of the Vatican I remember."

Alice searched everywhere for Theresa.

"What about her?"

Su Fan paused, the tea he was about to drink was now in his mouth.

"She went back to the Vatican to report the situation, and we don't know when she'll be back."

Alice was puzzled upon hearing this.

Su Fan, who had just finished a major battle, was also injured. Given Theresa's personality, she wouldn't just abandon him like that...

Alice glanced at Su Fan's expression and noticed that his gaze was wandering.

There is a situation.
