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

Chapter 515 Rebirth Through a Surrogate Pregnancy
Andrei was in a daze.

Even though his consciousness was hazy, he could vaguely sense that this was just a dream, but everything in front of him was too beautiful.

The girl's skin was as white, smooth, and soft as milk; just touching it made him lose his mind.

A moment of blissful passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold; in such a scene, it doesn't matter whether it's a dream or not.

Little did he know that almost everyone in the hotel lobby, men and women alike, was lost in a dream, their faces beaming with happiness and sweetness, and they were strangely and slowly rising to their feet.

They moved with their feet, and even with their eyes closed, these people, immersed in their dreams, seemed to be able to discern directions and avoid obstacles.

Men and women walked toward each other and, just as in their dreams, began to remove each other's clothes.

The hotel lobby on the first floor was already quickly descending into a decadent impart phase.

The people with their eyes closed had flushed faces, and white vapor kept rising from the tops of their heads. With each wisp of white vapor, the faces of the people trapped in the dream below became more withered.

But the latter was completely unaware and continued doing his own thing.

Numerous pale, illusory figures hovering above the dome greedily devoured the aura of the living, their bodies rapidly expanding until they gradually covered the entire hall.

Harsh laughter came from all directions.

"The scent of a living person is wonderful, even more so than smoking marijuana."

"Once we absorb this vital energy, our power will become even greater."

"This is all thanks to those people..."

“You’re such a fool. They’re just treating us like pigs to be slaughtered, fattened up and then killed to eat.”

"Yes, yes. They were very skilled at waking us up,"

"Hehehehe... I know, but they treat us like pigs, but aren't we the same?"

"What a pity. I thought they were really capable, but they were just lackeys who ran errands for others. They weren't tasty at all."

"It would be bad if the leader of those henchmen came knocking on our door."

"It's okay, this isn't the first time we've experienced something like this, is it?"

"Even the best swimmers drown, and the best riders fall from their horses. People always make mistakes in things they think they have complete control over, and in the end, they die without a burial place."

"Absorbing people's vital energy, possessing corpses to return to life, reincarnation, the Five Thunder Technique. These things were already used by Taoist priests against us hundreds of years ago. How dare they try to teach us?"

"Perhaps the extraordinary flesh and blood soul behind them is even more delicious. Until then, consider this an appetizer."

"Shh, don't let that stupid Taoist priest hear us. We've finally found someone to play with, don't scare him out of his wits."

"Hehehe... Hahahaha..."

It seems like a conversation between several individuals, or perhaps like a person asking and answering their own questions.

The whispers of the ghosts were noisy, like groups of monks chanting tedious Sanskrit.

Just then, some unusual activity was heard from below.

……

"That's not good."

Just as Shen Xuanxuan was about to deal with all the ghosts, Su Fan narrowed his eyes.

"The yin energy is starting to fluctuate; the evil spirits here have begun to move."

"Are the people downstairs in mortal danger?"

Theresa reacted quickly; as soon as Su Fan nodded, she immediately turned and went downstairs.

"They are not in mortal danger, but someone is about to die... or rather, someone is about to die."

Theresa looked at Su Fan, quietly waiting for what was to come.

“As we analyzed before, the evil spirits here aren't after people. The reason they won't let the people leave the building is so they can become their parents.” “Parents?”

Theresa was horrified upon hearing this.

"You mean, evil spirits control the men and women below to have sex, causing the women to become pregnant, and then they seize the bodies of the undeveloped infants and bring them into the world?"

“That’s right. But this is probably a common tactic used by evil spirits in Asia. The fact that these ghosts know this means that someone deliberately informed them.”

As for who informed them, it wasn't that hard to guess. As far as Su Fan knew, there was only one person who had the ability to stir up the resentment of evil spirits from a hundred years ago, and also possessed this kind of knowledge.

This was undoubtedly the work of the esoteric sect's henchmen, but the eerie atmosphere it exuded piqued Su Fan's interest.

Is there any way to stop it?

Theresa was somewhat worried about the safety of the people below, but she was generally able to remain calm.

She believed in Su Fan's abilities and therefore assumed that everything was still under his control.

And so it is.

“When have I ever failed at dealing with these things? Have you forgotten what I did on the stairs when we came here?”

The two talked close to each other for a long time, causing some of Theresa's neatly styled hair to fall down.

A mischievous thought suddenly arose in Su Fan's mind, and he gently blew on the strand of hair.

The latter subconsciously shrank his neck, and his gaze toward Su Fan revealed a hint of reproach.

Su Fan, however, remained calm, as if his previous actions were not his doing at all.

Theresa coughed lightly twice, bringing the topic back on track.

"A talisman? Shall we activate it now?"

"It's unlikely to be launched."

Su Fan shook his head.

"Stirring up trouble will only make the enemy retreat into a corner, and it will take much more effort to find them. So it's enough to let them warm up a bit."

Su Fan raised his toes and kicked the floor beneath his feet.

A wisp of spiritual energy, so faint as to be almost imperceptible, spread down from the floor and precisely arrived at the corridor they had just passed through.

There, a talisman drawn with a black marker waited quietly.

When spiritual energy enters it, the talisman seems to awaken, emitting a hazy glow. Even the ordinary black ink marks gain a mysterious aura because of this glow.

"Om..."

A barely perceptible ripple spread downwards.

The person below, whose clothes were disheveled, seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move at all.

Immersed in his sweet dream and the girl's gentle whispers, Andrei felt as if a thunderclap exploded in his ears, and the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end, as if they could lift up the sweat-soaked shirt clinging to his skin!

His consciousness quickly returned, and the previous hazy and confused state vanished.

Looking at himself again, he was surprised to find that he had taken off his heavy police uniform and was now standing in the hotel lobby wearing only a vest.

Although Andrei was a rough man, he had never lost his composure like this while on duty. His first reaction was to look down for his clothes and check if anyone was watching.

But that one glance had a profound impact on his soul.

The people who had been bundled up tightly were now huddled together in twos and threes, their clothes disheveled.

This even included the police officers he brought along on the mission!

Andrei instinctively wanted to reprimand them, but then he suddenly realized something was amiss and his expression changed.
