Chapter 1142 Amulet

The silver moonlight fell, and the darkness covered the entire sky.

"I must be crazy!"

A black figure appeared at the corner of the street, covering most of his face with a hat, it was Simon!

I don't know why, but I was just curious for a moment. After I walked into that small shop and saw the Voodoo book, there was a voice echoing in his heart:

"Hiss... get it! I gotta get it!"

Even so, the cost of a gold punk is obviously far beyond his ability.

Therefore, Simon is going to use his own method, a method that is not very visible.

During his rebellious teenage years, he did everything adults would hate: drinking, partying, fighting... He even learned a money-making craft from an old Goldfinger.

"I've noticed the lock in that grocery store, and it's easy to pry open... Then, maybe I can take something else..."

Walking on the deserted street, Simon felt his sanity gradually returning: "But...how could I believe that there are mysterious powers in the world? But to buy that grocery store from Papa Javier, the owner must be very rich !"

Even he didn't realize that although his rationality kept denying the extraordinary power, there were many hidden factors that pushed him to keep approaching that small shop.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

After turning a street corner, Simon suddenly moved his ears and heard the sound of chewing something.

"It's so late, who would eat outside and make such a loud noise?"

With a hint of curiosity, he stepped forward slowly and entered a dark alley.

At the end of the alley was a wall with several foul-smelling trash cans beside it.

At this time, there were two black figures lying on the ground, as if they were devouring something.

"Gulu!"

Simon felt cold hands and feet for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and slowly backed away.

As if the sound was too loud, the two black shadows turned their heads, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes.

And by the moonlight, one could also see a disembowelled corpse lying on the ground, its eyes widened, and various internal organs blood flowed all over the floor.

"ah!!!"

Simon let out a yelp with a distorted voice, and ran away like hell.

In the middle of the night, this kind of scene immediately reminded him of the legendary ghoul.

Chacha!

Chacha!

Behind him, two footsteps were getting closer and closer, bringing a gust of wind.

Simon only felt a huge force coming, and was immediately thrown to the ground.

He quickly rolled forward, turned around, and saw two approaching ghouls.

They were wearing black windbreakers, their skin was dry and tight, and they seemed to have lost their vitality, but their hands had sharp claws, and their blood-red eyes, full of greedy desire, stared at Simon.

"Ghouls! There really are ghouls!!!"

Simon's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he couldn't believe it.

But at this moment, the opponent's sharp claws, and the big rancid mouth dripping with saliva, were constantly approaching.

"No! No! I don't want to die!"

He felt a little wet between his legs, and he crawled back with his hands constantly supporting him. A premonition of death had already filled his heart.

The next moment, just as the ghoul's sharp claws stretched out and were about to touch his face, Simon seemed to think of something, and immediately chanted aloud:

"When lightning rolls and thunder rolls,

Calm me, give me courage,

When lightning flashes and thunder rolls,

Light from Vespers reassures me

Go away, evil ghoul, go with you..."

His eyes were lost, and he chanted the mantra that came to mind completely subconsciously.

When the two ghouls heard the sound, they stopped suddenly and kept backing away, baring their teeth and claws, full of unwillingness.

"The protective spell in the voodoo ritual? So it really works?"

Simon was a little stunned, but when he saw the ghoul looking ready to move forward again, he immediately continued in a trembling voice: "Go away, evil ghoul, and leave with you!"

Under the spell, the two ghouls slowly retreated into the darkness and disappeared.

"call……"

Simon let out a long breath, feeling that his legs were weak and he could no longer stand up.

Whoosh! ! !

At this moment, a piercing police whistle came from not far away.

If it was a minute ago, Simon would be happy to seek the help of those inspector gentlemen.

But now, he hesitated.

After all, he has committed some things before, so he has a criminal record. What's more, he doesn't intend to do good things when he comes out tonight.

If caught, it is really impossible to explain this problem, especially with that dead body.

Thinking of the corpse, Simon quickly got up and quickly left the scene.

Otherwise, how to deal with the inspector's transcript, could it be that he was attacked by a ghoul? He didn't want to be sent for a psychiatric evaluation.

"That voodoo book... I must have it!"

Thinking of the ghoul just now and the magical spell, Simon's eyes lit up, feeling that a brand new door was being opened in front of him.

...

In the early morning, Fang Yuan opened the store door and stretched lazily: "Good morning! Mr. Fred!"

"Good morning, Mr. Andy!" A fat man on the opposite side was obviously a little regretful: "What a beautiful weather... I mean, isn't it usually your maid who comes out to open the door?"

"You mean Mo Ligu?" Fang Yuan smiled, "She was busy last night, so I sent her to make coffee."

"One... all night?" Fred's eyes widened, feeling that his confidence had been greatly crushed: "I really admire you, Mr. Andy, do you have any secrets?"

"The secret? It's very simple..." Fang Yuan turned his head, saw the lady who came back with a bread basket, and suddenly stopped talking.

"Lucy...good morning!" Fred and Fang Yuan looked at each other, and wisely ended the previous topic: "Is the bread bought so soon?"

"Hmm..." The female neighbor Lucy was a little out of her wits: "Gentlemen, have you heard? Just two streets ahead, a murder occurred, and the scene has been cordoned off."

"Robbery? Murder?"

Fred was clearly interested.

"Neither...I heard that the scene...was scary!" Lucy ran back home with a trace of fear on her face.

Fang Yuan shrugged, went back to the store, and picked up a newspaper.

Half an hour later, the first customer entered the store and angrily put a small bottle on the table: "I want to return it!"

"It's you, Nietzsche!" Fang Yuan yawned boredly: "Sold in this shop, no return or exchange!"

"You clearly said that this is the water of enlightenment, but I used it all night yesterday and saw nothing!" Nietzsche argued.

"Young man, this is genuine enlightenment water, but you didn't listen to me carefully, it's just 'a certain probability'!" Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders.

"you……"

Nietzsche was speechless, with the grief and indignation of "you are a profiteer" in his eyes.

"Sorry to bother you!"

At this moment, a female inspector wearing a black uniform and carrying a gun walked into the store and showed a ID: "I am Vivienne, a trainee inspector. I have something to ask the owner!"

"I am, what's the matter? Beautiful lady..."

Fang Yuan stepped forward with a smile.

This female inspector has well-proportioned and powerful muscles like a cheetah, a fit figure, and a serious expression on her face, which made Nietzsche dare not speak for a while, and took a few sneaky glances.

"I need to make some routine inquiries about the murder that happened last night. Do you know Mr. Capone?"

"Carpone, I don't know him!" Fang Yuan shook his head.

"Someone testified that he visited here yesterday afternoon!" The female inspector suddenly showed suspicion: "He was wearing a blue plaid shirt and black leather shoes..."

"It turned out to be him!"

Fang Yuan suddenly realized: "That's a strange customer who came to my shop for the first time. As you know, ma'am, I can't register every customer's name. This is really a generous customer who bought my shop. A 'Ghoul Claw Talisman', I have to say, his vision is really good, this is one of the few treasures in this shop..."

After hearing this sentence, Nietzsche immediately rolled his eyes, showing disapproval.

"talisman?"

The female inspector narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Yes, it's made of sterling silver, inlaid with a fragment of a ghoul's claw... the price is five silver coins!" Fang Yuan confessed honestly: "What's wrong with him?"

"Assaulted, confirmed dead..." Inspector Vivienne replied blankly, "I don't have the amulet you mentioned..."

Snapped!

Fang Yuan clapped his fists: "I see, it must be robbery and murder! Thieves are really discerning and know the value of this talisman..."

This time, even Vivian rolled her eyes a little: "Please don't make unnecessary guesses, Mr. Andy! When Capon came to your place yesterday, did he show any abnormalities?"

After some questions and answers, she put away the shorthand notebook: "Thank you for your cooperation. Before the case is closed, I have the right to summon you at any time!"

After the female inspector walked out, Simon came in with a pale and frightening face, and dumped a pile of small change on the counter: "A gold punk, quickly give me that voodoo book!"

Molly put away the change angrily, very unwillingly.

She waited for the thief all night yesterday, who knew that the thief never came.

"Well, it's yours!"

Fang Yuan didn't care how Simon raised the money, and handed over the blood-red tome to Simon.

This large transaction immediately caused Nietzsche's eyes to widen.

At this moment, Simon hesitated, and asked in a trembling voice: "Sir... do you believe that there are... ghosts in this world?"

"Of course!" Fang Yuan replied without hesitation: "Otherwise, where do you think the mysterious products in this store come from?"

"Then, is there anything wandering around here, such as... ghouls?!"

Simon stared at Fang Yuan's eyes.

"Ghouls? I don't know..." Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "But if you are troubled by ghouls, I recommend the ghoul amulet, which only needs five silver thurs!! However, this kind of amulet only has the mind Only those who are determined can use it, otherwise, it may be easier to summon the hostility of ghouls..."
