As An Antique Shop Owner, It's Only Reasonable That I Know A Bit Of Magic - Chapter 89

Both Elise and the Rain Woman Ghost were utterly shocked by what they saw.

Su Fan had clearly had his back turned to the cross-dressing evil ghost, yet it was as if he had eyes on the back of his head. He spun around swiftly and struck with precise accuracy!

What they didn’t know was that Su Fan had long been aware of where the other was hiding.
It was true that the place was pitch-black and filled with fog, but how could such trivial things confuse Su Fan, whose eyes could pierce the gloom?
Leaving his back exposed was nothing but entrapment.

It turned out that this method was the most effective against evil spirits who preferred ambushes.

The cross-dressing evil spirit, having taken a solid hit from the crowbar, was now flat on the ground, unable to get up. The pain forced a beast-like howl from its throat.

It had fallen for a trick!
The moment the evil spirit realized this, it immediately tried to turn into mist again, only to be struck by another blow from the crowbar, interrupting its attempt.

“Where is your companion hiding?”

Su Fan stepped on the spirit’s head, looking down as he asked.

“I… I know where he is…”

The Rain Woman Ghost timidly interjected.

She was afraid that if she lost her usefulness as a guide, Su Fan would simply swing his crowbar and end her.

Not wanting to die a second time, she felt the need to emphasize her value.

But after uttering just one sentence, Su Fan’s sweeping glare sent her scrambling behind Elise in fear.

The evil spirit beneath Su Fan’s foot remained silent, so Su Fan simply smashed its spine with the crowbar.

Another agonized, blood-curdling screech followed, making both Elise and the ghost’s scalps prickle.

“Su… maybe we should just let it go…”

Although Elise also believed evil spirits should be eradicated, she couldn’t bear to watch such a scene.

“While investigating earlier, I looked around and noticed some details…”
“This man’s name was Parker. But after his parents divorced, his mother, who suffered from mental instability, forced him to live as a girl.”
“She often beat and abused him…”

Su Fan interrupted Elise at this point.

“A troubled family or personal trauma isn’t an excuse to become a murderer.”
“Many people live unhappy lives, but not all of them turn to crime.”
“He was a villain in life and an evil spirit in death, harming who knows how many people.”
“After all the evil he’s done, a few hits from this are nothing.”

If I hadn’t encountered you, it wouldn’t be my concern. But since you’ve chosen to show yourself and strut around in front of me, not dealing with you would be a waste of these abilities.

Seeing that the spirit refused to talk, Su Fan channeled his energy into the crowbar one last time and struck, completely dispersing the entity.

“No…!!!”

Suddenly, a sharp, mournful wail came from the deepest part of the house!

From the darkness, a woman clad in white, her form shadowy and indistinct, floated out. She wept and wailed at the sight of Parker’s dissipating form.

It was Parker’s mother!

Elise’s expression turned grim.

That single scream was enough to reveal that her power surpassed even Parker’s!

Faced with such an opponent, could Su possibly…

“Shut up!”

Su Fan frowned. With a wave of his hand, a fierce gust of wind suddenly arose, sweeping up wooden debris from the floor and hurling it toward the woman with a howl!

The woman in white let out a roar, and the faint light that remained in the room was instantly extinguished. Even the lantern in Elise’s hand began to flicker!

The invisible force generated by the roar collided head-on with the fierce wind!
However, the pushing force was quickly torn apart by the gale. Shattered furniture and everything else in the room flew toward the woman!

A tremendous crash echoed through the house!
The woman’s form was also pinned firmly against the wall by the powerful wind!

At that moment, Su Fan let go of the crowbar in his hand. It shot through the air in a straight horizontal line, decisively pinning the woman to the wall!
With that, both of the major evil spirits in this dilapidated house were completely eradicated by Su Fan!

Both Elise and the Rain Woman Ghost stood frozen.

They had never witnessed such a fierce battle of supernatural powers. Everything that had just happened before their eyes was a true eye-opener!

“Let’s go find the one with the mask…”

Su Fan intended to step forward, but he noticed Elise, who had been caught up in the aftermath of the earlier events, suddenly turn pale and tense.

As for the Rain Woman Ghost, she was shrinking back into a corner.

Su Fan didn’t need to ask why, because he could feel it too—the thick, churning ghost energy surging in from outside!

“Su, the commotion we made earlier was too loud. It’s attracted other evil spirits from this realm…”
“They’ve caught the scent of our living souls and are swarming here in endless numbers!”

Before Elise could even finish her sentence, the large window of the abandoned villa was already being pounded by countless bloody, pale ghost hands slapping against the broken glass!

The slapping sounds, accompanied by miserable wails and sharp shrieks, drilled incessantly into Elise’s ears!

The cacophony of ghostly cries could disrupt a person’s mind. Although Elise was a medium, the simultaneous screams of so many evil spirits gave her an immediate, intense headache!

Su Fan frowned and took a step forward.

The crowbar flew from the wall automatically, landing back in his hand.

The evil spirits outside the window stared at Su Fan and Elise, their pitch-black eyes filled with greed!
They wanted to trap these two living souls here, kill them, and then rush to seize their physical bodies left in the real world, to live a second life!

“You mentioned earlier that most of the souls here are evil spirits, right?”

Su Fan’s voice cut clearly through the multitude of wails.

“Yes, all of these who want to steal bodies are…”

The small lantern in Elise’s hand was gradually dimming.

Her power was fading rapidly!

“Good. That makes it easier.”

A faint smile, familiar to Elise, curled on Su Fan’s lips.

He had worn the exact same smile just before violently beating Parker.

Like a leopard, he charged towards the door, actually shattering it upon impact, and plunged straight into the horde of evil spirits!

“Su!”

Elise immediately stood up, disregarding her weakening power, intent on following Su Fan!

Faced with such a large number of evil spirits, how could he possibly fight them all off alone?

Yet the next second, what met Elise’s eyes was Su Fan moving like a tiger among sheep, wreaking havoc!
His crowbar whistled through the air, and not a single evil spirit could get within a two-meter radius of him!

The evil spirits were dispersed before they could even regain their bearings!
A sudden, violent gust of wind erupted, blowing away both the fog and all the evil spirits!
Those closest were even torn apart directly by the powerful gale!

The terrifying slaughter finally jolted these desire-crazed evil spirits back to some semblance of awareness!
They immediately shrank back, huddling together, their eyes fixed on Su Fan ahead—and now, fear surfaced in those countless eyes!

Behind Su Fan, Elise and the Rain Woman Ghost watched the scene, unable to believe their eyes.

Surrounded by a horde of ghosts, yet not a single one dared to approach!

A boundary of about ten meters formed between Su Fan and the mass of evil spirits!
Su Fan glanced at his crowbar.

Because the opponents were spectral entities, no blood had been spilled. Even after all that swinging, the crowbar remained unchanged.

Good.

Su Fan then turned his gaze back towards the dense crowd of evil spirits opposite him.

Eerie ghost fires illuminated their sinister, ferocious faces, a sight that would surely terrify any ordinary person into paralysis.

But Su Fan showed not a trace of fear. Instead, he wore a look of puzzlement as he addressed the ghostly multitude.

“I’ve been thinking and thinking, but I just can’t figure it out.”

“If you were all afraid of the mother and son in this house, too scared to wander near…”

“Then you should be even more afraid of me…”

“So why did you dare to come? Did you want to die a second time?”
