Strands of hair, with the click of scissors, fell from the top of the head.

With no mirrors and no one to help, Todd had to fumble with the blistering hand on the top of his head while carefully trimming his hair.

Looking at the curly and yellow hair on his hands burned by the heat, and feeling the pain from the scalded blisters on his skin, the monk remembered the fire the night before, and couldn't help but shiver from the depths of his body.

It's so adventurous!

Never do anything like this again next time!

However, judging from the effect, yesterday's well-planned performance can be regarded as hiding from everyone and successfully solving the lead poisoning crisis. Otherwise, their important source of experimental funding will be in vain.

Speaking of the various visions in those exorcism rituals, it looks creepy and sounds thrilling, but in fact it is just some basic chemical reaction. In the previous life, those middle and high school students were able to do it easily in the laboratory.

The reddish-brown "blood" on the linen, paper, and roofs is the reaction of ferric chloride solution and sodium hydroxide to produce iron hydroxide solution (reddish-brown) and sodium chloride.

Todd originally wanted to use an iron chloride solution to react with potassium thiocyanide to produce iron monothiocyanide (blood red) for the sake of real effect, but the preparation of thiocyanide compounds required the use of ammonia gas (invented in 1909, for which Fritz Haber won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry), and the latter was extremely difficult to make under the existing conditions in another world. So the next best thing is that sodium hydroxide is used. Luckily, it was dark and no one noticed the difference.

In the explosion in the room, black powder was used, but the ratio of chemicals was slightly changed to ensure that the sound and light effects were strong and the killing effect was low. The detonation mechanism of gunpowder adopts the "sulfuric acid detonation method", which is inspired by the land mines during the Anti-Japanese War in the previous life, and a piece of wax paper is placed on the explosive, and a few drops of concentrated sulfuric acid are dripped on the wax paper. Any shaking will cause sulfuric acid to drip into the explosive, which will then cause a chain explosion.

As for the "Heavenly Fire" that ignited all over his body, although the effect looked cool, it almost killed him.

It was Todd's idea on a whim, and it came from a jar of fibrous silicate minerals in the lab.

This mineral is also commonly known as "asbestos".

The wide monk's uniform combined with the dimly lit environment provided the best cover. The thick fiber asbestos sewn on the inside of the garment blocks heat and flame, and can also play an explosion-proof role. Even so, when the flames were ignited, the uneasy Todd hid a large amount of salt grains on his sleeve and sprinkled them on his body when he held them high above his head, reducing the surface temperature of the flames and suppressing the spread of the fire on his body.

The last and most thrilling scene is how he survives the fire after others escape from the hut.

The principle is actually very simple, Todd prepared multiple wooden cylinders in advance, divided into two layers, one layer with vinegar and wax powder, and the other layer with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). When the flame is close, as long as the wooden tube is smashed underfoot, a large amount of carbon dioxide and foam will be generated, which will play a role in extinguishing the fire and blocking.

As for the scenes where sackcloth soars and demons scream, it's just some simpler magic tricks, not to mention.

For the two craftsmen of "acute lead poisoning".

After the exorcism, Todd prepared a solution of 1% sodium sulfate, performed gastric lavage on the two of them, and expelled insoluble lead sulfate from their bodies, supplemented with egg whites and goat's milk. Now, the patient has regained consciousness, but the body is still permanently damaged.

Therefore, the monks simply threw some production safety regulations from their previous life to Huggins, craftsmen, and apprentices, and strictly ordered them to abide by them. Judging from their submissive expressions, such an accident should never happen again.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door of the lab.

Todd put down the scissors in his hand and blinked suspiciously.

In this hidden place, only Huggins, Edgar and Jerry Jerry will come on weekdays, but whether it is any one of these three people, they have always pushed the door directly in, how can there be a knock on the door?

Calling for a call to enter, the door was pushed open a crack, and Edgar, the little brat, stuck his head in.

looked at Todd with a restrained face, and whispered, "Mr. Todd, you'd better come out and have a look......"

Call me what?!sir?!

The boy whose name was called looked at Edgar speechlessly, and said secretly in his heart, when did you learn to be polite?

Follow Edgar through the underground corridors, to the ground graveyard, through the main hall of the cathedral, and towards the vestibule of the convent, where guests are received.

The increasingly noisy voices made Todd suspicious.

The Monastery of San Sidro is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are very few visitors, so there is no place for such a noisy time.

Climbing the steps of the antechamber, Todd gasped at the sight before him.

The small hall was crowded with people from all directions, and everyone looked at the inner courtyard of the monastery with anticipation and excitement. Outside the hall, the traffic was busy and bustling, the sounds of conversation, prayers, and shouts came and went, and the carts and cattle had already blocked the small square.

The sharp-eyed believer saw Todd approaching the hall and shouted, "Look! Look! The Son has traveled!"

Suddenly, hundreds of eyes turned in unison in the direction of the monk's apprentice, and people bent their knees and knelt on the ground, some prayed for supreme protection, others begged for forgiveness from the gods, and others begged the Son to exorcise them.

Outside the door, the believers who learned of Todd's appearance desperately tried to squeeze forward. Those who stood close even tried to climb over the railing, touch the body of the Son, and receive God's blessings, and the scene began to become chaotic.

Just when Todd was at a loss, Huggins came to his side, first shrugged helplessly at the monk, and then took on the role of the order officer of the front hall, commanding several people to drive the worshippers into a straight line.

For an entire afternoon, the boy sat in an ornate chair that he had found out of nowhere, with a stiff smile on his face, not knowing how many faithfuls he had comforted with patterned prayers, and not knowing how many kisses he had received on his feet.

The sun is setting in the west, and the afterglow is fading.

When Todd heard someone shouting in his ear, 'It's getting late, please come back,' his nose ached, and tears almost fell.

The monk couldn't wait to get up, but found that his lower body was numb and unconscious, and finally with the help of Huggins and Jerry, he had the strength to step into the backyard.

Eating the food and water handed over by the man, Todd found a clean open space without any image, and asked others while gobbling it up, "How can there be so many people?!"

Glancing at Edgar and Jerry, who were standing straight next to him, Huggins sat down next to Todd with a smile and said in a mocking tone, "You don't know?!

"Famous?"

"Your deeds of exorcism have spread. Yesterday there were believers who came to the door of the monastery in the hope of worshipping the Son, but today there are just more people. ”

Todd's eyes widened, he swallowed the food in his mouth desperately, poured another sip of water and said, "Believer?

"With the power of one person to force out the demons, when the exorcism fails, he is not afraid of danger, and he is willing to sacrifice himself in order not to hurt the innocent, and he dies in the fire and is reborn. Tell me about it, isn't it too much to say that you are the Son?"

He sat still, speechless for a long time.

Todd knew that the exorcism would have a big impact, but he didn't expect such a big fight.

Standing up and patting the dust off his body, Huggins watched the sky slowly darken, and said to him, "When you're done eating, we'll set off to meet someone." ”

"Who?"

The man turned his head, looked at the firelight in the distance, and said calmly, "A member of our xenomorph family, today is the day she returns......

"'Black sheep'. ”
