Chapter 100: Forget it, it’s too late “I’ve had enough!” Lucas didn't want to ask Su Fan for help in the first place, and after hearing this, he became so angry that his face turned red. "Haley, just keep begging him here! I can't stay here any longer!" After saying this, Lucas left the antique shop angrily. "Lucas!" When Madeline saw her lover leaving, she immediately followed to comfort him. Haley could only shake her head helplessly. Although what Su Fan said just now was a bit harsh, it was obvious that he was revealing a message to them. Smart people may be able to escape from the subsequent misfortune and save their lives. But Lucas wouldn't listen.
I can only convey the key information to him later. But the question is, how can we get the help of the store manager? Haley actually already has the answer. Her mother had taught her. If you want to be cunning, you must be smart, but if you are not smart enough, then sincerity and humility are the qualities you should possess. "We deeply regret not following your advice before." "I hope you can tolerate our ignorance and give us guidance." "Please name any reward you want. We can do everything we can to prove our sincerity." "We don't want to die..." Her expression was genuine, her tone sincere and apologetic. Without any beating around the bush, he expressed the most fundamental demands. Because Haley knew that being timid and pretentious would only make the other person disgusted. Su Fan looked at her without saying anything. There was a long silence in the antique shop. Time passed minute by minute, and just as they were becoming increasingly anxious, a light laugh was heard. “It’s not that there are no merits.” Haley and the others were stunned, with surprise in their eyes! "Thank you so much!" "Having money ready is more useful than anything else." Su Fan spoke coldly. "Do you have any materials on tarot cards and death cases? Bring them up for us to see."
"Done!" The fat boy Paxton excitedly took out his laptop from the backpack he was carrying. "After I left, I contacted the detective again and learned more details about the case and sorted them out." "Paxton? When?" "Um... when I got home, I went to see my dad, and he told me to do this." The fat boy opened the document while speaking. “His first suggestion was for me to go find the store manager.” During the conversation, he had already opened documents full of information and presentation files. Su Fan looked through it carefully. Although it was considered a careful reading for him, in the eyes of others, it was just super speed reading where one could read ten lines at a glance. In less than a moment, Su Fan looked up. "Did you bring your tarot cards?" "No." After Haley finished speaking, she immediately added something. "I tried to destroy the tarot deck at home, but even when I threw it into the fire, it didn't break." "I thought it was too dangerous to carry with me, so I sealed it up and hid it in the activity room where we often gather." “Most people don’t go there.” There was nothing wrong with Haley's behavior, and Su Fan didn't say much. "Just now on the file, it was written that you did divination for everyone and the results." "Do you remember Iris's card now?" "Yes... her card is the Priestess, representing..." Even though she did the deconstruction herself, Haley could only remember the general idea. "It means that she will enter unknown areas due to her strong curiosity. If she doesn't pay attention to her steps, she may end up in ruin." Su Fan fluently repeated the records in the document, word for word. "Ellis died in the corridor outside the dormitory, directly below the attic. The death report said she was hit hard by a ladder, but there were also signs of injuries from falling." He looked at Paige and continued. "You also said that before the accident with Iris, she told you that there seemed to be someone knocking on the door as a prank." "But it wasn't humans who did it, it was evil spirits." Having said that, Haley and the others immediately understood.
"This way of dying..." "As you can imagine, Tarot Cards are played according to the card you draw." "Did you forget? You said that Lucas would have a change in wealth, and he won a scratch-off ticket." Su Fan's slow explanation seemed to grab the hearts of Haley and others bit by bit, making it impossible for them to breathe normally. "You live in peace during the day, but die alone at night." "It proves that the evil spirit that inhabits the playing cards is not that powerful. It can only act in the dead of night when the victim is alone." After hearing this, everyone felt relieved. "Wait, have you forgotten about Lucas and Madeline..." The little fat man suddenly spoke, and the flesh on his face began to tremble with fear. "It's evening now." Hearing this, the faces of several people changed. Grant was about to rush out the door immediately, but he heard Su Fan's slow voice behind him. "Forget it, it's too late." ------ "I'll take you here. Bye." "bye……" After waving goodbye to Madeline, Lucas set out on his journey home. With the constant comfort from his beloved, he finally felt much better. Sharing their true feelings with each other made their relationship heat up rapidly. The dopamine produced by love made him forget the previous unhappiness, and he walked towards the subway entrance with light steps. But at this moment, a strange growl came from behind him. Lucas turned around suddenly, but saw nothing. There are only the shadows of trees swaying under the street lights... The strange scene made him feel a little suspicious and he quickened his pace. Lucas was the only one walking in the wide corridor. Bright lights suddenly began to flash... In the silent passage, the footsteps were getting faster and faster! Haley's explanation during the divination, the dark and terrifying hand-painted tarot card pattern, and the detective's words kept appearing in front of his eyes and echoing in his ears... When he turned a corner, he stopped.
At the end of the passage in front of him, a strange black shadow holding a lantern walked towards him step by step! At this moment, Lucas's hair stood on end. There is no need to say more or see clearly what it is. The biting cold and evil have already stimulated his instinct for survival! Lucas ran back without looking back, trying to go back the way he came, but he saw that the lights that were originally on were quickly going out one by one. Darkness came quickly along with the disappearance of the light, as if a giant beast opened its mouth of the abyss and wanted to swallow him! Both roads were blocked, so Lucas could only run towards the flashing red warning lights. He ignored the danger warning, opened the door, rushed in, and locked it tightly with his backhand! Turning around, he seemed to have arrived at an abandoned train parking lot. The lights flickered, sometimes brighter and sometimes dimmer, and the dark ghost holding the yellow light appeared in front of him again and attacked him quickly! In fear, he subconsciously wanted to find something to hide, and ran towards an abandoned carriage not far away, but was hit by the roaring train, breaking his upper body... "The light of the hermit will lead you down the wrong path..." (End of this chapter)
