The silver moonlight shines, and darkness covers the entire sky.

"I must be crazy!"

A black shadow appeared on the corner of the street, covering most of his face with a hat, and it was Simon!

I don’t know why, but I was just curious for a moment. After walking into the small shop and seeing the Vodou scripture, a voice echoed in his heart:

"Shit...get it! I must get it!"

Despite this, the cost of a Golden Punk is obviously much beyond his ability.

So, Simon is preparing to use his own way, a means that he doesn't know much about light.

In his rebellious teenage years, he did everything that adults hated: alcoholism, depravity parties, fighting... and even learned a craft of making money from an old golden finger.

"I have paid attention to the lock of that grocery store, and it can be easily pried open... Then, I may be able to take away something else..."

Walking on the deserted streets, Simon felt his reason gradually return: "But... how could I believe there is a mysterious power in the world? But if you can buy that grocery store from Dad Javier, the owner must be very rich!"

Even he did not realize that although his rationality had always denied extraordinary power, many factors in the dark still pushed him to get closer to the small shop.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

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

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

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

At the end of this alley is a wall, and there are several trash cans emitting foul smell on the side.

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

"Gurl!"

Simon felt cold in his hands and feet for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and slowly retreated.

It seemed that the sound was too loud, and the two black shadows turned their heads and showed blood-red eyes.

With the moonlight, you can also see a corpse with a broken belly lying on the ground, with wide eyes and blood flowing all over the ground with various internal organs.

"ah!!!"

Simon let out a voice-changing scream and ran away.

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

Crack!

Crack!

Behind him, the two steps were getting closer and closer, bringing a strong wind.

Simon felt a huge force coming and was immediately knocked to the ground.

He quickly rolled forward, turned around, and saw the ghouls approaching from both ends.

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

"Ghosts! There are really ghouls!!!"

Simon was sweating profusely on his forehead, and he couldn't believe it.

But at this time, the other party's sharp claws and the rotten mouth dripping dripping were constantly approaching.

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

He felt a little wet between his legs, and his hands were constantly supporting him to crawl backwards. A premonition of death had filled his heart.

The next moment, just as the ghoul's claws were about to touch his face, Simon seemed to have thought of something and immediately recited it loudly:

"When the lightning rolls and thunder sounds,

Let me calm down, bless me with courage,

When the lightning makes thunder roll,

The light from the evening prayer reassures me

Go away, the evil ghoul, leave with you..."

His eyes were lost and he was completely subconsciously reciting the mantra that came to his mind.

When the two ghouls heard the sound, they suddenly stopped moving, kept retreating, spreading their teeth and claws, full of reluctance.

"The protection mantra in the Vodou scriptures? It turns out that it really works?"

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

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

"call……"

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

Whoosh!!!

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

If it was a minute ago, Simon would have been happy to seek help from the inspectors.

But now, he hesitated.

After all, he had committed some things before, which was considered a criminal record, not to mention that he didn't plan to do good things when he came out tonight.

If caught, it is impossible to explain this problem, especially the dead body.

When Simon thought of the body, he quickly got up and quickly left the scene.

Otherwise, how to deal with the inspection transcript, could it be said that he was attacked by a ghoul? He didn't want to be sent for a mental examination.

"That Vodou scripture...I must get it!"

Thinking of the ghoul just now and the magical spell, Simon's eyes lit up and felt a brand new door 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 opposite was obviously a little regretful: "What a good weather... I mean, aren't your maids usually coming out to open the door?"

"You said Molly Gu?" Fang Yuan smiled at the corner of his mouth: "She was busy all night last night, so I sent her to make coffee."

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

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

"Lucy...good morning!" Fred and Fang Yuan looked at each other, wisely ending the previous topic: "Have you finished buying bread so soon?"

"Well..." The female neighbor Lucy was a little absent-minded: "Gentlemen, have you heard of it? Just two streets ahead, a murder occurred and the scene was blocked."

"Robbery? Or murder?"

Fred was obviously interested.

"None of them... I heard that the scene is... it's scary!" A hint of fear appeared on Lucy's face and ran back home.

Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders, returned to the store, and picked up a newspaper.

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

"It's you, Nietzsche!" Fang Yuan yawned boredly: "This store sells it, no return or exchange!"

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

"Young man, this is the water of the spirit that is changed like a fake, but didn't you listen to me to say it carefully? It's just 'there is a certain probability'!" Fang Yuan shrugged.

"you……"

Nietzsche was speechless, and his eyes showed grief and anger that "you are a profiteer".

"Sorry, I'll bother you!"

At this moment, a female inspector wearing a black uniform and carrying a gun walked into the store and showed a document: "I am the trainee inspector Vivian, and I need to ask the owner of the store!"

"I am, is there anything wrong? The beautiful lady..."

Fang Yuan smiled and stepped forward.

The female inspector had a cheetah-like muscle, a toned figure, and a serious look on her face, which made Nietzsche dare not speak and took a sneak glance.

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

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

"Someone testified yesterday afternoon and saw him visiting here!" The female inspector immediately showed a suspicious look: "He was wearing a blue plaid shirt and black leather shoes..."

"So it's him!"

Fang Yuan suddenly realized: "That was a strange customer. The first time I came to my shop, you know, ma'am, I can't register the name of every customer. This is really a generous customer. I bought one of my 'Ghost Claw Talismans'. I have to say that he has a good vision, and this is one of the few treasures in this store..."

After hearing this, Nietzsche rolled his eyes and showed disapproval.

"talisman?"
