Elena lost her cool from the moment the fire snake appeared: "The devil's contract, the devil's contract begins." ”

"Calm down!" Anne slapped Elena in the face, and the other party was a little quieter.

A moment later, a large amount of blood poured out of the hollow beneath the cross, flowing like flowing water to the ground.

Anne saw the blood on the ground flowing in circles to the left and right, and shouted urgently, "Stand back in the middle, don't touch the blood." ”

Tulip members moved closer to Anne, and the red blood soon drew a huge circle on the church floor.

The flowing blood did not stop because it met in the middle of the church, but divided into five streams, in a straight line and in different directions, splitting into the circle.

"Spread out, don't step on the blood, stand in the clearing. Don't move. As Anne shouted, the Tulip members jumped over the blood line flowing on the ground and stood in the uncontaminated clearing.

I looked at the pentagram on the ground and said, "What's going on?"

"This is the pentagram. Ren Tianqing explained: "The demon's contract ceremony is about to begin. ”

Then I suddenly remembered the legend of the pact with the devil in the dark arts.

Legend has it that European magicians wanted to make a pact with demons, and there were two things that were indispensable.

One is a reverse cross wrapped in a poisonous snake, which represents that he has abandoned God's love and redemption and is determined to throw himself into the arms of Satan, the Lord of Hell. The function of the Blood Sacrifice Cross is to summon demons to come. The other is the pentagram that is used to protect the magician himself.

Because the pentagram can be drawn with a single stroke, Europeans and even the Onmyoji of the Orient believe that the pentagram can prevent the invasion of demons and evil spirits.

In the pentagram, the circular magic circle is used to protect the magician himself, while the pentagram is used to seal the demon, and the five junctions of its lines are considered to be the "doors" that seal the demon in the middle of the pentagram.

For this reason, the Church refers to the pentagram as the "coat of arms of the devil", the "witch's cross", the "wizard's star", and the "witch's foot", and even claims that the human wolf has a pentagram on the heel.

It sounds contradictory that a black mage summons demons with a reverse cross and protects himself with a pentagram. In fact, it is the key to the demonic contract.

Legend has it that the demon who sleeps in hell will be furious once awakened by humans. The first thing he had to do was not to sign a contract with the summoner, but to eat the summoner and drag his soul to hell, whether the other party was a believer in Satan or not.

The pentagram array can just block the demon's attack, and as long as the magician can't hold out in the array, the demon can't hurt the other party. However, demons can lure magicians out of the circle in various ways.

After a long battle between the two sides, the spirit and the will, if the demon still can't eat the other, he will choose to compromise and sign a contract with the magician, lend the other party infinite magic power, and even for the magician to drive. Of course, there is also a price for magicians, such as their own relatives, or their own souls.

During the entire contract process, the magician must not step out of the pentagram, even if it is just a little bit out, it will invite death.

After the contract is completed, the pentagram will be reversed, from a positive pentagram to an antipentagram. The pentagram turned upside down is the sign of Satan. Legend has it that the cover of the Satanist Dark Bible is printed with the symbol of the antipentagram.

The process of the demonic contract, as my mind spun rapidly, the five-pointed star array was also completed in an instant, and the blood on the ground became more and more intense, and even brought a pungent fishy smell.

"Stand firm, stand firm...... Don't be afraid. It's impossible for a demon to enter the star array, no one should mess around!" Anne continued to comfort the Tulip members, and a dozen fires suddenly lit up in the corners of the walls around the church.

When I looked at the fires on the ground, several fires were like snakes clinging to the snow-white wall and climbing up, concentrating on one point and slowly closing into a fireball the size of a lantern. The whole church was as bright as day in the light of the fire, but it was even more terrifying than before.

A short moment later, there was an eerie grinding sound around the church, and it sounded like people had squeezed into the wall from the outside, dragging themselves through the cracks in the wall into the church.

Soon I felt that a disembodied figure appeared in the church, circling along the pentagram.

Someone trembled, "I...... How do I feel that someone is looking at me, he must be watching me......"

"Shut up!" the other tulip member snapped, and their eyes lost focus at the same time, and the whole person turned around like a marionette and stepped out in the same position.

Although the two are of different heights, the distance they take in one step seems to be measured, not only is it not bad at all, but even the position of the back foot is kept on the same level.

Ye Xun and I looked at each other, got up and ran straight at the same time, and reached out to grab the two people's backs, but before the two of us touched each other's shoulders, the two had already stepped out again, and my and Ye Xun's palms fell into the air at the same time, and my heart suddenly sank - the hand that Ye Xun and I stretched out turned out to be in the same position, and even the long open fingertips were withdrawn at the same rhythm.

When the corner of my eye swept to Ye Xun's palm, my body seemed to open its five fingers uncontrollably, and the left foot that was stepping on the ground also took a step forward. Ye Xun beside me was the same as me, stepping out at the same speed and in the same weird posture, and just a second later, the two of us were standing in the same position again.

In a panic, I suddenly turned back to block Ye Xun and took him back two steps back.

The two tulip members fell to the ground as we retreated, half of their bodies fell outside the circle, but they remained in the circle from the waist down, and the blood stains that flowed like a red belt were attached to the waists of the two of them.

Ye Xun and I grabbed between the heels of the two again, and Anne suddenly shouted: "Don't move, you can't drag them in, the devil will follow." ”

Ye Xun and I were slightly stunned, and the outstretched palm stopped in the air.

At the same time, I saw the corpse thrown out of the circle, as if it had touched the ice cube of hot water, and most of the head disappeared in an instant, and the disappeared part was still spreading to the corpse's body. In the blink of an eye, the two limbs seemed to be erased out of thin air from the chest, and all four arms were scattered on both sides of the corpse at the same time.

Ye Xun and I didn't need to discuss, and grabbed the ankles of the two corpses at the same time, and suddenly lifted the corpses into the air, and the two corpses disappeared quickly between the continuous rotation. Strangely, there was not a drop of blood flowing from the mangled corpse, and only the yellow sand as fine as flour flew into the air.

Between the two limbs suddenly fell to the ground, it was like two sands that were lifted to the ground, and the fine yellow sand between the dust and dust spread close to the ground like water, although there was no blood, but it made people feel even more chilled in their hearts.

I looked back at the Tulip members, only to find that they were all covering their mouths to keep themselves from making a sound, but their tears couldn't stop pouring out.

I turned to look at Anne, "What's going on?"

Anne opened her mouth before sighing, "You still speak! You can't make a sound in the pentagram, as long as something that represents your breath appears outside the pentagram, the demon will follow your traces and rush into the circle, taking you out and devouring you." ”

Anne explained: "Legend has it that there was a magician who, frightened in endless fear, lost his urine, and when his urine flowed outside the circle, the demon followed the urine to find him and devoured him alive. However, as long as the contract can be completed, the mage will reap great benefits. Therefore, there are countless people who take risks for it. ”

"Voices are also part of people, and each person's voice is his unique sign, and demons will definitely follow the sound. ”

As she spoke, Anne walked to the space of the star array I was in: "The two of them died because of their words. Now, the two of us have spoken. Let's stand here together! There's something we can face together. ”

I was about to nod when Ye Xun suddenly spoke, "Why does the demon have to arrest us instead of killing people in the magic circle?"

"Why are you ......" Anne didn't expect Ye Xunhui to speak after she gave a solemn warning.

Ye Xun said lightly: "Between brothers, pay attention to living and dying together. ”

"But ......" Anne couldn't understand the meaning of "living and dying together", so she could only say: "The pentagram can not only defend against demons, but also ban demons. Even if he could break through the first layer of the magic array, he would not dare to act rashly in the pentagram, unless he could break the core of the pentagram. ”

According to Anne, the safest place is to stand in the central pentagonal shape of the pentagram. But Arthur's petrified corpse also happened to lie in the center of the pentagram.

The result of standing past is to guard a curse and wait for the devil.

Just as I was about to speak, Ren Tianqing suddenly exclaimed, "Look at the magic circle on the ground. ”

I turned my head to look at the edges of the array, and my head buzzed.

Just now, when Ye Xun and I threw the corpse out of the formation, we didn't pay attention to the four arms scattered on the ground, and after a short while, those four arms had completely desertified, and the scattered yellow sand mixed with the blood flow on the ground.

Just now, it was like circulating blood, but it turned into yellow sand just a moment after we spoke.

The dark yellow, which represents death, is spreading along the outer circle of the circle to both sides.

The circle is going to be erased!
