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

Chapter 481

With almost no time to react, old John, who had been standing still, had turned into a boneless lump of mud and collapsed in the pit.

Their speed and dexterity left Jamie speechless.

He was used to being ruthless towards ghosts, but now standing in front of him was a living, breathing person.

To be able to disable his mobility without hesitation, one has to admit he truly lives up to his reputation as a vampire who feeds on humans.

However, before Jamie could figure out why, old John, who was lying on the ground, screamed.

"No, that's not right! You're lying to me!"

"You don't have that much power! You can't possibly foresee the future! You're lying to me! You cunning, despicable, and filthy vampire!!!"

His only intact muscle, his neck, was twisting wildly, and his eyes were fixed on Alice, as if he wanted to tear this seemingly frail girl to pieces.

Alice did not deny it upon hearing this, but instead revealed a bright smile, her perfectly aligned teeth standing out prominently in the darkness.

Old John now realizes that it's too late to change the outcome.

The battle just now was truly dangerous.

Give Jamie a portion of the purifying talisman and have him pretend that he has been bewitched by another member of the cult, so that he can use this opportunity to capture him.

This part went very smoothly.

But this also means that Alice herself is more likely to be dominated.

Especially in the final part of the battle, she seemed to be chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened, but in reality, all sorts of distorted and terrifying hallucinations began to appear before her eyes.

"What did he just say?"

Jamie was still a little confused, but didn't have time to ask too many questions.

The originally quiet and eerie environment suddenly became frenzied, accompanied by Old John's roar.

The pale, shadowy figure kept flashing, and each time it appeared, it moved closer to Jamie and Alice.

Moreover, the surrounding air temperature dropped rapidly, becoming so viscous that it felt like being surrounded by highly concentrated glue.

"Stop acting stupid and quickly stick the talisman on that corpse!"

Jamie was jolted awake by Alice's scolding voice.

He immediately stepped forward to stick the only talisman he had on the restless female corpse on the ground.

Just before the talisman fell, Jamie suddenly saw the female corpse's cloudy eyes turn towards him.

However, being an experienced person, even such a bizarre scene only made his hand tremble slightly, and the talisman was eventually firmly affixed to the female corpse's forehead.

The talisman emitted a blinding golden light the moment it touched the female corpse, causing Alice and Jamie's expressions to turn grave.

The fact that the talisman could produce such a violent reaction indicates that the female corpse's power was greater than they had expected.

The golden light only lasted for a moment before it was enveloped by the surrounding yin energy, which was like the sea.

They seemed to surround the talisman, constantly squeezing it, trying to break through its blockade and merge with the female corpse inside.

"It seems that the talismans we have are not enough to solve the problem! We must evacuate as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Alice gritted her teeth, turned her head, and kicked the corpse on the ground with all her might!

The strongest attack that the human body can deliver is something a professional soccer player can easily break by kicking a baseball bat, but Alice's strength far exceeds that range.

One stomp and even a heavy truck would have to move.

The female corpse, having taken the hit, flew out like a cannonball, smashing through the metal fence before landing on the open ground outside, without sustaining any damage.

But this was within Alice's expectations.

Without the right method, even high-intensity bombardment with firearms could not destroy the mutated corpse. Her goal was not destruction, but to move the corpse as far away as possible from this crater filled with corpses and resentment, thus weakening its power.

The power of the talisman might be able to temporarily suppress these ever-growing evil energies, but every second that is delayed increases their danger.

Jamie quickly understood Alice's intention and was about to take a step when he felt a strong sense of weightlessness.

He was a burly man over 1.8 meters tall, yet Alice lifted him up like a little chick.

The latter held himself in one hand and the unconscious old John in the other.

They ran like Shaolin monks carrying buckets of water across a small bridge in kung fu movies.

Of course, he also didn't forget to occasionally kick the female corpse on the ground like a soccer ball.

Damn, the dribbling skills of those who play this game are so amazing. If you were to play in the World Cup, there would be hope for the revitalization of American football!

In the moment of confusion, Jamie inadvertently glanced behind him.

Then, clusters of dark, twisted energy gradually condensed in the air into a shadowy figure with long, flowing hair.

Its enormous body almost completely blocked his field of vision.

"Gift crab!"

Jamie had initially felt some discomfort in his neck and wanted to suggest that Alice be a little gentler.

But now he wished the latter had two more legs so he could quickly escape the pursuer.

Judging from the strong winds blowing in their faces, Alice was running at a speed of at least 40 miles per hour while carrying the two of them.

This speed is already quite astonishing.

But the dark shadows behind them continued to relentlessly pursue them.

The lights along the road behind us were all off; the sight was suffocating, and fear spread through me.
"What should we do now? They don't seem willing to let us go."

"I know."

Alice replied calmly.

Vampires don't need to breathe, so they don't pant heavily. Even when running at high speed, their tone of voice is no different from their usual conversation.

"To be honest, I can't think of any solutions at this point. We've really reached a dead end."

"My law?!!"

In a moment of crisis, Jamie once again transformed into that down-to-earth American small-town youth.

"No, no, no, I think we can still be saved."

"A significant part of our success is due to our ability to take shortcuts, but there are limits to how far we can go."

Alice speaks very fast.

"Because we ourselves do not have the ability to confront them head-on."

Luckily, the old man on my right wasn't very bright and I managed to trick him into giving up. Otherwise, the two of us wouldn't have been able to defeat him and the female corpse, who were manipulating resentment.

"But now that we've left that warehouse, we can now employ the traditional American combat tactics."

"What traditional skills? The situation is urgent, please stop keeping me in suspense! I'm begging you!"

"Call for tactical support."

Alice's tone was full of self-righteousness.
