Chapter 99 Su Fan: Look, this guy looks dead. "Please repeat it again, I don't quite understand." In the interrogation room, the detective raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. The policeman next to him also had a dazed look on his face. "Was I not clear enough just now?" A look of doubt appeared on Haley's face. "No, you made it very clear, but I just want to confirm..." "You took the box from the forbidden room." "Yes." Paxton admitted.
"Then, you went to an antique shop owned by a Chinese owner on the Avenue of Stars to have it appraised." "Ah." Haley nodded. "He told you that the tarot cards in the box have evil power and will bring about fatal disasters." "Yes." "And then you guys did a fucking tarot reading with that deck?!" The detective's tone gradually rose. "Um...that's it." The men and women didn't know where the detective's anger came from. After looking at each other, they nodded fearfully. "I think you should really listen to the antique shop owner." The patrolman on the side sighed in his heart and added explanation. He was an eyewitness to the welfare home incident at that time, and the strange things he saw with his own eyes also changed his previous ideas. He could only describe what this group of people did as "wonderful". "Detective, excuse me for asking, but do you mean that what that person said is true?" Grant asked tentatively. "if not?" the detective asked back. “Will the police believe this?” "The facts before you are beyond your control."
"I know it's hard to accept, but kids, there are so many things in this world that you don't know about. Just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist." The detective felt at this moment that he was having a conversation with his past self. “Respect the mystery and don’t take risks. Otherwise, by the time you realize something is wrong, death is inevitable.” "Then what should we do now?" Panic appeared on Madeline's face. "If you still want to live, go to the antique shop immediately, apologize to the owner, and beg him for help." "It has to be him?" Paxton inquired. "Believe me, if there is anyone who can definitely save you, it is only him, provided that you can gain his forgiveness." After coming out of the police station, everyone looked a little unnatural. None of them took the antique shop owner seriously, but who could have thought that the alarmist warning would actually come true. Having ridiculed him before, now he has to beg him for help. It is not easy for a young man who values face above all else. "Okay, I admit, that boss might actually have something." Lucas shrugged. "But you don't have to ask him for help. Since there's an evil spirit haunting you, you might as well go find the church pastor." "Compared to unknown exorcists, aren't priests recognized by the Holy See more reliable?" "Didn't you hear what the detective said? This is not a joke." Grant couldn't help but refute Lucas's statement. You are still so stubborn about the matter of life and death. Don't you really want to live? "Anyway, we should definitely go to the antique shop again." Haley, who knew the most about the occult, finally spoke. "Everyone knows that Iris couldn't have committed suicide. There was no one else in the school building at the time..." "Instead of looking for a priest who we don't know if he is really capable, we should seek help from the boss who is sure to be capable." After a rational analysis, several people nodded silently. "Meet in front of the antique shop at 7 o'clock tonight. Don't be late." After agreeing on a meeting time, they parted at the entrance of the police station. He came with a confused look on his face and left with heavy hearts. The shadow of death hangs over their heads, lingering. Even California's usual good weather seems not so bright. The sun sets and the moon rises, and night falls quickly. The six people arrive at the door of the antique shop one by one.
Haley breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her companions had arrived safely. But he found that everyone's faces were a little gloomy, and he couldn't help but feel dazed. Looking back to this time the day before yesterday, they were still talking and laughing, relaxed and comfortable. But within just two days, everything was turned upside down. Haley sighed, and then, like before, was the first to push open the door of the antique shop, and her first sight caught the black-haired young man's eye. The latter seemed to have known they were coming. Everyone waited for Haley to speak, but she didn't know where to start. What? She said that she did not listen to the other party's advice and was forced by her companions to do the forbidden tarot divination. Incurring misfortune and still wanting others to rescue you? This is too shameless. "We... came here to seek your help." Seeing that Haley didn't know how to start, Grant, who was standing next to her, spoke quickly. "It's about the box from the night before last..." "I know why you are here, no need to explain." Before Grant could finish his words, he was interrupted by the young boss. "That person called Iris didn't come with you. Is she gone?" The other party glanced at everyone's faces and spoke like this. Grant was stunned, then smiled bitterly. This boss's words are still as unacceptable as ever. Sure enough, when these words were spoken, except for Haley and Grant, the others were all a little unhappy, but they dared not say anything. There was no respect in the other party's tone, which was really disgusting. Su Fan didn't care about their expressions at all, he just thought about it for a moment. He originally thought it would take two days to react, but it happened so quickly. Not quite normal. "Did the detective suggest you come here?" "you……" Several people were a little stunned. From beginning to end, they did not reveal any information except for the initial attempts to get close to each other. How did the other party know all this? "Did the detective contact you?" Madeline asked subconsciously.
This was the most reasonable possibility she could think of. "No, you can figure this out if you think about it a little bit." Su Fan answered casually and continued. "You are now facing death threats and are in constant fear, but do you know what kind of people are most likely to die?" Haley and others shook their heads subconsciously. "In this world, good people don't die easily, and bad people don't die suddenly. Only fools die inexplicably and quietly." Hearing this, Lucas, who was already unhappy because of Su Fan’s previous remarks, couldn’t help it. "Hey, I know you know about psychic arts, and maybe you can do a little exorcism, but you should at least have some basic respect for the dead!" "You think I'm talking about dead Elis?" Su Fan looked at Lucas, then pointed at him and smiled. "Look, this kind of person obviously won't live long." (End of this chapter)
