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

Chapter 537

This was the first time she had come into such direct contact with malice from human society.

This has nothing to do with any faith, nor is there any external evil manipulating thoughts; it is simply a morbid and distorted phenomenon born from the dark side of humanity.

All the miracles that Theresa learned were for the purpose of fighting the devil. Before entering the Holy See to study, she did not even have any basic fighting skills.

Honestly, if I were in the same situation without anyone else present, my reaction would probably have been even more intense than Anne's.

Perhaps in the end, it will become a dish on the banquet table, just like those "livestock" in the kitchen.

Wait a moment……

Theresa looked at Anne.

The ability to think, which had been previously affected by the shocking images, is gradually returning.

Having personally experienced that extravagant banquet, how did Anne manage to leave that estate unscathed and escape America to come here?
Although he wasn't carrying any photography equipment, the former is a household name and a very popular movie star. If he were to casually reveal some shocking information in an interview or during a reporter's interview, the subsequent handling of public opinion would be extremely troublesome.

There were only two possibilities that Theresa could think of.

First, Anne may have been somehow modified during the banquet, turning her into a cannibalistic madwoman, or perhaps she was filmed consuming similar food.

Secondly, they deliberately let Annie out to see who she would turn to for help.

Thinking of this, Theresa suddenly became nervous.

[This is bad. I don't have Su Fan's sensory abilities; I can only sense disturbances within the area of ​​this side hall.]

They might be hiding somewhere in this restaurant right now, waiting for their chance to strike. We need to move immediately.

But Annie now...

Just as she was in a dilemma, a sudden knock on the door interrupted her thoughts!

"Who is it?!"

Her tone was calm and showed no sign of anything amiss, but her body was ready for battle.

He stepped forward, shielding Annie behind him. His body, enhanced by holy power, now had a lustrous sheen.

"I'm sorry to bother you, I'm just here to let you know that the dishes are ready. Would you like to eat now?"

Theresa was stunned for a moment.

That was the voice of the waitress who had brought her here.

Did she think too much?

"Miss?"

"No need to serve the food, thank you. Our schedule has changed, we'll be leaving soon."

“I understand. Miss Anne has something left at the front desk. Should it be sent to her residence later, or should it be sent now?”

"Please bring it over."

"Understood. Please wait a moment."

Only when the footsteps faded into the distance did Theresa lower her guard.

She carefully placed the palm-sized paper figures on the table, and then tried to infuse them with holy power to activate them.

Before she could even act, she felt a gentle push. Looking down, she discovered that the paper figure had stood up at some point and was even pushing away her hand, which she was about to infuse with holy power.

"What do you mean? It operates automatically and doesn't need charging?"

Theresa murmured unconsciously, and the paper figure below seemed to understand her and nodded.

"Amazing!"

Although its combat power is inferior to that of the puppet, in terms of intelligence alone, the paper doll is far superior to the puppet.

Su Fan always manages to come up with some unexpected and wonderful things.

Just then, a slight noise came from outside the door, followed by a series of rhythmic knocks.

“Miss Selva, I have retrieved Miss Anne’s belongings.”

So fast?
Theresa was surprised by the other person's efficiency and replied.

"I understand. Just leave it outside..."

Before she finished speaking, the paper figure that was originally on the table suddenly shot out, its body expanding rapidly in mid-air until it was almost the same size as a normal human.

That seemingly light and airy paper body, with its low center of gravity, glided across nearly ten meters in a single step as if it were gliding through the air. The fingerless upper limbs were slightly bent at the ends, mimicking a clenched fist, and it punched the door!
The whole process was incredibly fast. Just as Theresa saw the paper figure's movements clearly, the door to the side hall was smashed open by the paper figure's punch!
boom!
A roar accompanied by turbulent air currents whipped up the tablecloth, and through the flying wood chips and the rummaging white fabric, Theresa could barely make out what was in front of her.

A withered hand with sharp black claws enveloped the paper figure's fist, and following the hand upwards, one could see the waitress's expressionless face.

A pale and withered face peeked out from behind the waitress, staring at the paper figure in disbelief.

"It's a paper doll? It's incredibly strong."

The withered face did not open its mouth; the words came from the waitress's mouth, whose face had long since lost all color and life.

This guy actually used the waitress's corpse in a way similar to a puppet show, using the voice of the unjustly killed person to lower her guard!
If it weren't for the paper figure noticing something was wrong and striking first, I would have been completely unprepared and put in a passive position!
"Who are you! What do you want?!"

Theresa asked coldly.

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that you are about to die, you little girl from the Vatican."

You don't actually think you can save your life with just something like this, do you?

At this point, the man suddenly smiled.

"The information is correct. He was indeed seriously injured, which is why he could only send out something like this to protect you."

The waitress suddenly slipped from his left hand and attacked in the direction of Theresa!

The waitress's upper body swayed as if it had lost the support of her spine, accompanied by the rapid strides of her legs!
Such a horrifying sight did not deter Theresa; she stayed by Anne's side without leaving for a moment, ready to fight back.

But before she could make a move, the other paper figures on the table, which had been sitting still, suddenly came to life!
They leaped off the table with a somersault, and then, like the first individual to take action, their bodies rapidly expanded.

The fastest one of them had already blocked Theresa's path, delivering a powerful whip kick that struck the corpse puppet that was lunging at the two of them squarely in the abdomen!
The latter's body flew backward like a cannonball and embedded itself hard in the wall behind the man!
Such a shocking scene left the man speechless, because the fist of the other paper figure he was holding suddenly changed.

Despite the lack of visible power gathering by the paper figure, the latter still unleashed tremendous strength.

Even he could only be forced to retreat repeatedly to dissipate the force.

Unexpectedly, the paper figure, having won the battle, pressed on and quickly closed in. Moreover, behind the paper figure, three almost identical shadows attacked from other blind spots!
