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

Chapter 482

Tactical support?

Jamie was both surprised and delighted to hear this.

"What fire support? Did you contact Su Fan beforehand?"

Jamie knew without a doubt that she had a close relationship with Su Fan, given her unique way of doing things and her signature talismans.

As soon as he arrives, all the problems can be solved.

"No, this is my first independent mission. I only prepared talismans."

Jamie paused for a moment, then thought of another possibility.

"You're not planning to lead this shadowy figure towards the ruins of the building, are you? This direction isn't right... What exactly do you want to do?"

"Su Fan is not the only one with extraordinary power in this city."

Under the scorching sun, darkness is indeed nowhere to hide, but on nights when the sun rests, the cool moonlight and twinkling stars can illuminate the path ahead for travelers.

Alice estimated the location to be about right and stomped her feet hard.

The power unleashed by those seemingly slender, even frail, legs actually broke through the asphalt road, leaving two ruts in it.

In contrast, Alice, who had made this furrow, had her shoes, socks, and trouser legs completely torn, but her snow-white bare feet remained unchanged except for some stains.

She cleared her throat, and then, under Jamie's blank gaze, let out a scream.

"Help! There's a ghost!"

Jamie's standard Hollywood pretty-boy scream threw him into disarray.

He didn't know what Alice was trying to do; all he knew was that the shadowy figure behind them was rapidly closing the distance because they had stopped.

"Maybe we should just keep running..."

A wave of eerie energy washed over him, and Jamie finally felt the true power of resentment.

A constant stream of memories surfaced in his mind, ranging from the tragic deaths of his father and Lisa to the arguments he had with his playmates in his childhood.

These negative memories are constantly eroding his mind, making Jamie want to scream and vent his burgeoning destructive urges.

"hold on."

Alice's situation wasn't much better.

She also uncontrollably recalled the inhumane treatment she suffered in a mental hospital when she was still human.

But she trusted her own judgment more.

The series of bizarre events in London had long attracted the attention of organizations tasked with dealing with them, the most powerful of which was a team led by a cardinal of the Papacy.

After the incident subsided, they rushed to other places to handle important matters, but at the request of the British authorities, they left behind outstanding members to handle the aftermath.

They divided into small teams, each working from different angles to eliminate the influence of evil gods and paganism in London.

They may assist government investigators or conduct their own investigations.

There was only one person who foolishly patrolled the area near his residence.

This area is where she frequently spends her time.

Alice wasn't sure if the other side was strong enough to fight off the monsters behind them, but at least they were organized and had a plan. They could at least send messages to ask for help and hold out until reinforcements arrived.

Her cries for help should have already attracted her attention.

"Is it not ready yet?!"

Jamie was not put down by Alice to prevent wasting time if the plan failed and they had to run away.

But this also meant that he could only try his best to turn his head to check what was behind him.

Darkness drew ever closer, and Jamie held his breath in tension. "Was that you guys shouting for help just now?"

A voice suddenly came from the side, and Jamie turned his head in surprise.

A woman with a beautiful face and clear, bright eyes was standing not far away, looking in their direction.

She was wearing classic nun's clothing, which covered her from head to toe, with only her hands and face exposed to the air.

But even wearing such unattractive clothes could not diminish her beauty in the slightest.

"Run!"

The nun looked so beautiful and delicate that Jamie, without thinking, instinctively told her to run away.

But the moment he opened his mouth, a black hand reached out from the street corner.

Its owner gripped the wall at the street corner, peering out at the enormous figure with wildly dancing black hair.

The moment the shadow appeared, the talisman that had been kicked all the way by Alice on the female corpse lost all its power and shattered into pieces.

The female corpse rose from the ground, her cloudy eyes looking down at Jamie and Alice with hatred.

Two ants that she could easily crush with her bare hands dared to be so disrespectful to His body and deserve all kinds of torment!
The enormous black shadow swiftly disappeared into the woman's corpse, its body, less than two meters long, swallowing the terrifying shadow whole with the force of a whale.

On the pale skin, the dark veins were clearly visible, like tiny venomous snakes wriggling on its surface.

Thick, foul-smelling blood began to seep from the surrounding ground.

The horrifying sight made Alice involuntarily back away, but after only a few steps, she felt a warm power coming from the back of her heart.

In that instant, she suddenly realized that the blood that had gushed onto the ground and the many strange sights had vanished.

Is it an illusion?

The moment Alice had this thought, she rejected it.

Besides the area beneath their feet, not far ahead on the ground, blood had already gathered into winding, thin rivers of blood.

"The question I asked earlier was a bit silly, and the result was obvious, but don't worry, I'm still quite confident when it comes to exorcism."

Alice turned her head and saw the nun smiling.

This girl, who was half a head shorter than her, gave Alice a strong sense of security.

She removed the pure silver cross from her neck and uttered a biblical prayer in Latin.

Accompanied by a chant-like hymn, a gentle white glow gradually spread across the area.

Without any earth-shaking destructive force, without any loud roars or violent movements, the white light calmly and irresistibly approached the female corpse, erasing all the strange phenomena produced by the latter's evil power.

The female corpse was unwilling and opened her mouth to roar for the first time. The black tide formed by her resentment surged and turbulent, but it could not shake the spreading white light.

The white light engulfed the female corpse, and He, having lost all power, fell to the ground.

The entire process took less than a minute, which Alice found somewhat incomprehensible.

"Alright, you're safe now."

The woman put her cross away.

Alice noticed that there seemed to be tiny beads of sweat on the other person's forehead, and knew that she must have expended a lot of energy.

"Thank you for saving me. I'm also grateful for your help this time."

“It’s alright. Can you tell me why you encountered Him, Miss Alice?”

“Of course, my dear Theresa,” Alice said with a grin.
