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

Chapter 510

Shen Xuanxuan really couldn't understand what was so good about such a nobody who had no presence at all.

But since the nun insisted, he could only try to go along with it.

“Master, you must have other things to attend to before you speak with us.”

The young man's words made him suddenly realize that he had a troublesome client with whom he had connections to deal with.

Turning around, I saw that Officer Andrei was sweating profusely and was pleading for help with his eyes.

"Mr. Julian, this is not only for the safety of the citizens, but also for the normal operation of the hotel. It turns out that there are indeed some evil forces at work here..."

"Evil forces? Listen, I regret the deaths of those workers, but evil forces are a bit far-fetched. This hotel has superhuman security personnel, and they have never mentioned anything unusual."

Julian then turned his gaze to Shen Xuanxuan.

"Could it be that he said it?"

"It is indeed him. Let me introduce you. This is Master Shen, a superhuman from the great Eastern country. He has extensive experience in exorcism, and the power he wields is similar to that of the one who shone brightly not long ago..."

Upon hearing this, Julian's expression finally changed. He looked at the East Asian mustache, whom he had previously scoffed at, with suspicion and uncertainty.

Just when Shen Xuanxuan thought he was going to change his attitude because of this, the latter's attitude became even worse. He frowned directly and made no attempt to hide his disgust.

"Another con artist trying to profit off that person's name. I've run into countless like them lately. You have half an hour to leave the hotel, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"I'd like to see just how impolite you are."

After being humiliated time and again, Shen Xuanxuan could no longer suppress his anger and confronted the attackers directly.

“I can tell you directly, everyone in this hotel is in mortal danger right now. They might die shortly after they leave, and if they do meet with misfortune, the consequences... the debt will be yours, do you understand?”

He took a step forward, only to find that the other person was actually retreating.

A terrible thought flashed through Shen Xuanxuan's mind.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the other person had a pale face, sunken eyes, and appeared to be suffering from poor blood and qi and a weakened yang energy.

Julian, who had been about to stop, started walking again, and Julian also stepped back in time.

The former immediately sped up and ran towards Julian, while the latter, as if he had seen a ghost, turned and ran!

Before Andrei could figure out what was going on, Shen Xuanxuan shouted.

"Grab him! This guy's possessed!"

A whisk emerged from Shen Xuanxuan's Taoist robe, and with a wave of his hand, it seemed to suddenly extend, about to wrap around Julian's ankle, but the opponent easily dodged it with a leap!
Having failed in his first attack, Shen Xuanxuan shook his whisk, changed the trajectory of his attack, and launched another strike. The soft whisk landed in his hand and became as powerful as a long whip, even making a loud cracking sound in the air!

This slash, aimed at the waist, would instantly render anyone unable to resist, and given the tricky angle, it should be a guaranteed hit.

However, Julian suddenly tilted his head back and bent over, folding his body to dodge the attack again. Not only that, but his legs continued to move rapidly.

The bizarre way of moving is something that the human body simply cannot do, and it makes everyone who sees it shudder!
Julian's upper body was folded over so that it faced Shen Xuanxuan, who was chasing behind him.

A strange smile appeared on the face of the rich young master. He opened his mouth, and his tongue shot out like a sharp arrow, its target being Shen Xuanxuan's throat!

The latter immediately raised the handle of the whisk to defend itself. The fleshy tongue collided with the handle, producing a piercing buzz. In addition, sparks flew at the point of contact.

Forced to stop by the ambush, Shen Xuanxuan watched as Julian, possessed by a ghost, entered the hotel's emergency escape route, leaping away and disappearing between the stairs. The confrontation happened in the blink of an eye; by the time Andrei reacted, Shen Xuanxuan had already returned with a grim expression.

"Want to chase?"

Andrei mustered his courage and asked.

"There's no need. You won't find them, and even if you do, they'll be easily killed by the enemy."

Shen Xuanxuan looked down at the whisk in his hand. This treasure, which he had obtained from his master, had a faint white mark left on it from the previous exchange.

This whisk has been with him for many years, constantly nourished by Qi, and its hardness far exceeds that of ordinary high-strength alloys.

If it hadn't been for its shield, his throat would have been pierced by that tongue, and he would have died.

He could sense that the ghost that had possessed Julian earlier was not the most terrifying one in the hotel; the real enemy had not yet appeared.

However, even these henchmen were proving troublesome for him; the evil spirits hidden within the hotel were likely far more powerful than he had anticipated.

Shen Xuanxuan turned to look at the bewildered ordinary people on the side, feeling quite embarrassed and caught in a dilemma.

He just wanted to show off in front of others, but who would have thought he would actually run into such a troublesome situation.

With his current abilities, he probably couldn't save all of these people, but if...

He was determined to recruit the nun, and without further ado, he went to her and the young man again.

The nun hadn't moved since the beginning, and her expression remained calm, showing no sign of fear; she was clearly someone who had seen a lot.

"No one around you seems to notice you. Did you use some kind of special... magic?"

"It's a miracle."

The nun finally spoke.

"Magic is the ability possessed by those who have magical powers, and the power I unleash is called a miracle."

"Okay, I understand. So you are a clergyman from the Vatican, right? I don't know how to address you."

"Theresa Selva".

“Miss Selva, you must have noticed the current situation. The vicious ghosts have likely completely invaded this hotel. For the safety of everyone here, and for those who have been harmed and died unjustly by the ghosts, please help me to deal with these guys.”

"……it is good."

Shen Xuanxuan delivered these words fluently, launching a moral blackmail against the nun named Theresa in front of him without hesitation.

As he expected, the other party agreed to his request after a slight hesitation.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Shen Xuanxuan's somewhat heavy expression finally relaxed a little.

But a voice from the side immediately shattered the good mood that had just begun to rise.

"Sir, what you said was truly righteous and admirable. I almost forgot who brought us in in the first place."
