"Tuk! Sincere! ”

There was another knock on the door, and when I opened my eyes, I was not looking at the dark night sky, but on a sunny morning.

Last night's nightmare still stuck in my heart, as the cold woman in my mind said, I really can't see her easily, she easily gave me the most thrilling nightmare last night, fooled me, and I still think in my heart, fortunately it was just a dream.

"Tuk! Sincere!! Sincere! ”

The knock on the door was urgent, I rolled over and got out of bed, opened the door, and saw Alice's face haggard and eager expression, but I felt a lot more relieved to see her, every full moon night is my weakest time, if something happens to Alice, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life.

Without saying a word, I put my arms around Alice's delicate body and whispered in her ear, "I'm worried about you." ”

Alice also whispered in my ear, "As long as you're safe." ”

I smiled and said, "Since I untied your shackles, I don't care about such things, I can't die anyway, don't worry." ”

When Alice was silent, I gently kissed her soft lips, and she reacted enthusiastically, my body seemed to gradually burn, and I said softly, "I love you." ”

Beixue's voice rang out inappropriately: "You are making out in broad daylight, is it because we are jealous of a group of single people? ”

I argued, "What's the matter, what are we doing, you can watch it or not, who watches us like you watch us on a TV show?" ”

Vaughn jumped out of nowhere, raised his hand and said, "Me! ”

Bei Xuejiao smiled: "Since someone performs for free, who can not watch it?" ”

We were teased by the combination of Becky and Vaughn, who seemed to have always regarded this as an indispensable pleasure, and who knew that Vaughn was in the mood to participate in it.

Over the next two days, we continued to prepare for the infiltration of the Louvre and gather information about the mysterious diamond of hope in the Dead Sea.

From which we know several things, first, the Louvre has both internal and external surveillance systems, second, after the Louvre is closed, after the final inspection, a steel door with a thickness of 20 centimeters will be lowered between the halls of each section of the most important protection area, so as to cut off the connection between the halls, if there is an accident such as a fire, it will not damage the key protection of the artworks, third, we focus on the camera in the museum, as long as the artwork is covered with tempered glass, the layer of tempered glass is not only bulletproof and fireproof, Fourth, in the key protection area, with different times, there are different indoor scanning systems, including infrared, sonic scanning, voice control and ground vibration defense systems, and fifth, we have searched all the online information and news over the years and have not found any relevant information about the "hope of the Dead Sea", even we doubt that there is really such a thing hidden in the Louvre.

It's really difficult to enter the Louvre without knowing it, which is one of the reasons why the world's big thieves and thieves don't easily brush its tiger whiskers, and I'm not a professional thief after all, not to mention whether our combination can successfully enter here, if you take something out of the Louvre, it will definitely be discovered, and we are not sure that such a thing is real, if not? Have we not been busy in vain, and have others play with us?

So Beixue set a strategy, this time to go to the Louvre curator's house, if nothing is found, we will give up the matter, maybe the top-secret information is in the Louvre, but that is even more important, not only people work there during the day, but the security guards are there at night vigil How can you get in? The road ahead is really unknown, and it is a dangerous situation.

The three-day appointment with Father Buckley has arrived, and this night Besher is frowning, Vaughn is sitting next to the computer monitor, working intensively on the new equipment, and he is trying to break into the Louvre's computer system, I don't know if he can succeed today, according to Beescher, Vaughn is ten times stronger than her in terms of computers, at least with the world-class Russian hackers, can compete.

I half-jokingly said to Beixue, who was sitting on the sofa, "Since you don't have any special solutions, let's go and ask God." ”

Alice should understand the meaning of my words, she has learned a lot of basic computer knowledge with Beixue in the past few days, and is playing with Beixue's computer notebook, asking Yan to show a listening look, but she didn't speak, and her eyes didn't drift to look.

Beixue looked at me deliberately, and that look was enough to show that she didn't believe in such superstitious things as I still believed in God, and said suspiciously: "What the hell are you trying to do?" ”

I said seriously, "We're close to Notre Dame Cathedral, and I want to go inside and pray." ”

Beixue examined my extremely serious expression again, and said, "Although I used to go to church a lot when I was young, I never believed it, why did you go?" ”

Alice immediately explained for me: "Because last time I went out with Mark, I met Father Buckley at Notre-Dame Cathedral, and I asked us to go tonight, and I used to be a member of the church. ”

Alice's statement was reasonable, but she didn't expect Beixue to be suspicious: "Then you told me at the beginning, no, why did Mark tell me first?" ”

As I continued to explain, it would get darker and darker, and I would say the problem if there was no problem, but I still took out that serious expression and said, "I really didn't believe in God before, but since I met Alice, I believe that God guided us to come together." ”

Besher was still looking at us suspiciously, and just then Vaughn heard our conversation, and he thought he understood, "Why are you so uninteresting, can't you see that they are going out for a tryst?" Today is the last night before the action, everyone needs to relax, right? ”

Beixue said happily: "How is it, what are your achievements?" ”

Vaughn took a sip of the freshly brewed coffee and said: "The Louvre's computer defense system is linked to the French Ministry of National Security, if I don't separate them, I will be challenging the entire French computer defense system, but, I think about it now, it's not sure, Beixue, your notebook has powerful computing functions, can you help me try to block this system?" ”

When Beixue heard this, she came to her senses, and said to us, "Go ahead, stay safe." ”

As we got up to leave, Besher asked, "Are you really going, Notre Dame?" ”

We nodded like two honest children, and Beschery gestured goodbye to us.

Alice and I went downstairs, it had been raining a lot lately, the air was a little more humid, and we walked leisurely to Notre Dame Cathedral again, these two days, as soon as I had time, I practiced the appendage technique, and gradually I was able to hold on to 30 seconds to let my body melt into my own shadow.

At night, the lights in Notre-Dame Cathedral are bright, and the church is in a solemn and solemn atmosphere, and the yellow light reflects on the vaulted dome, as if the church is bathed in a warm holy light.

As soon as we entered, there were already five or six people sitting on the benches at the front, and as we had done last time, we saw only Vice-Bishop Evan, who was preaching and reading from the Bible, and when he saw us coming in, he stepped down from the pulpit and came to us and said, "Bishop Buckley, you are waiting for you, please come in through the side door." ”

We walked through the corridor with a portrait of Newton, and when we entered through the middle door, Father Buckley was not in the room, but we saw Mr. Cardin. Karting was very happy to see us arrive as scheduled, and smiled: "We have not wasted our trust in you. ”

I approached him and said, "Why wouldn't I be happy if I could learn more special skills?" ”

Father Buckley's voice rang out behind Karting as he said, "Well, we're going to have your initiation ceremony today. ”

Father Buckley, standing in the doorway on the other side, not far from here, made a gesture to invite in, "Come with me." ”

Our group, with Father Buckley, walked into a corridor, which was parallel at first, then gradually inclined and turned downward, and walked down the stone steps, about five meters above the ground, we came across a wooden door, and Father Buckley entered first.

When we entered, we saw that there was a large hall, all around and the floor was made of marble stones, and in it was placed a large rectangular square table, and there were rows of chairs around the square table, and there were already seven people sitting on the chairs, all of whom were dressed in black robes, and their heads and faces were all covered with black veils, and only a pair of eyes were showing to watch us coming.

After Father Buckley and Karting saluted the man in the middle, Father Buckley introduced, "This is the person who has been recognized by the magic book, his name is Mark, and the girl next to him is her girlfriend. ”

The one in the middle of the black-robed man nodded, but did not speak, and the one to his left was the first to say, "This is what you call the one with dark magic." "This man has an old voice, a pair of deep and unpredictable eyes, and a serious and solemn speech, and should be an important person.

I muttered in my heart, these gods are mysterious, and I don't want people to look at their heads and faces, there is no taste of honesty at all, and I feel a little more disgusted in my heart.

The old voice asked me, "Will you join my sect, swear not to apostasy, not to reveal your identity at any time, not to do evil, and to swear to my Lord to be faithful to Him?" ”

I replied, "I do." ”

The old man nodded to the middle man again, and the black-robed man in the middle took out a crystal ball-shaped thing from his arms, but when he looked closely, he found that it was a crystal skeleton, and the crystal skeleton emitted a faint halo in this person's hand, and the light points suddenly gathered together, and finally the light points fell on my eyebrows as if they were ejected by someone, just a little flash, and the light points jumped back, and then the man nodded.

When I was out of sight, the old man spoke, "You have passed the prophecy test of the wizards of your sect, and from now on you are a member of our Dark Cross Sect, and I am subject to your position as the only magician of your sect. ”

Karting said, "Great, you've finally been recognized." ”

I wondered, "But I don't know much about magic right now." ”

Father Buckley walked over and said, "Magicians are people who have magical powers, and we admit that this has nothing to do with whether you use magic or not. ”

The old man stepped out of his seat, came to me, and said, "Stretch out your right hand." ”

I stretched out my hand, and the old man took my finger and made my palm upward, and he stretched out his index finger with his left hand and drew a five-pointed star pattern on my palm, and suddenly my palm ached as if it was being burned on the fire, and there was a five-pointed star pattern on my hand, and I withdrew my hand in pain and exclaimed, "What are you doing?" ”

Karding laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, this is the identification mark of our Dark Cross Sect, only people within the sect can evoke this pattern, you see." ”

As soon as Karting stretched out his palm, he saw the five-pointed star appear in his hand, and then everyone in the room, including Father Buckley, raised their right hands, and every one of them had this figure on their right hand.

Father Buckley said, "This diagram is what we call the Devil's Pattern Diagram, which helps to improve the magic power, and the person in front of you is the Saint Master of our Dark Ten Sect." ”

I hurriedly said, "Thank you." ”

Alice also nervously asked, "Mark, are you okay with your hand?" ”

I watched the pentagram fade into the palm of my hand and comforted her, "It's okay. ”

The Sect Saint looked at Alice and said, "The reason why we let this girl in is because she used to be a contractor, and now this contractor has become you. ”

Alice and I both looked shocked, indicating that most of our affairs were known to the Dark Cross Cult Saint.

The Holy Lord said calmly: "Don't, think that we know everything, there are some things that you still need to go through in detail, many years ago I was the Holy Cross Society, collecting contractors from all over the world, at that time I already had information about the contractors, so you don't need to be surprised, tell us about your affairs, we may be able to help you, now you are people in our sect, of course, this matter has to be dealt with together, for more than a hundred years, we can't tolerate the Pope of the Holy Cross, It's going on to be a fool. ”

Father Buckley took me by the hand and sat me down, and after everyone was seated, he said, "Now that there is a Holy Lord, you are in charge, what is the inside story, I hope you two will not hide it, it is not for nothing that I saw Alice for the first time and mistook him for a witch." ”

At this time, this group of people who originally covered their faces with black veils revealed their true faces, and the person in the middle unexpectedly turned out to be a young girl, somewhat similar to Alice in appearance, and not worse than me in age, except for revealing a white face, the rest were hidden under the black veil and black robe.

The other six also showed their faces, and the others were all old faces, all of them were about 50 years old and above, except for the girl, Father Barkley and Karkart were the youngest among him, but I don't know why even the Sect Saint had to bow to the girl?

The Holy Sect first said: "There are not many people in this sect, and there are still three people who have not attended, and I will introduce to you when I have the opportunity in the future, because it is a relationship with innate magic, when we all go to see God, there may be no such church." ”

I secretly wondered in my heart, no wonder the Dark Cross Cult had to win me in.

The Sect Saint paused, and introduced in turn from the girl: "This is the only prophet in our sect, Shebelle, on the left is the Grand Alchemist Golden Shield Bishop, next to him are Baron, Standler, Link, Tarshi, and myself, the Demon Master Drake, Cardin, Buckley, you all know each other, the other three who are absent will be introduced later." ”

After this, I recounted in detail my encounter with Alice, and since I had told others about it before, I was now speaking it again without organizing my language, much faster than the last time I had spoken to Bishop Albus.

When I finished speaking, the Drake Sect Saint nodded and said: "We have understood about your contract, we have been engaged in this research since the beginning of the religion, and have investigated and verified the supernatural, soul, magic, alchemy, etc., and there have indeed been contractors in history, who signed a contract with the demon, and the demon was enslaved, and when I died, I got the soul of the opposite, but this kind of contract of yours is very rare, because it has continued to the present, and it has killed all the people of a big family, Such an evil contract is unheard of, and the demon that resides in the body is not controlled, but becomes its master, and as far as I know, there is no way to break it, and other people can also have their opinions. ”

Jin Dun said: "We all know that all real magicians have a short lifespan, although they cast spells and only consume their own magic power, but every time they use the energy of life, they will also be consumed a little, so since four hundred years ago, magicians have become extinct, and the people who contain magic power can barely use alchemy except for a few of our old bones, and the rest of the people we have no ability to explore, those three people are just to find children with magic in the world, and the contractor has a similarity with the magician, It's the same loss of one's own life in exchange for a powerful ability, according to my reliable information, in order to completely eliminate us, the Holy Cross Society not only sent people out to find the contractor, but also probed our headquarters, at least two contractors have been mastered by them, Mark's peculiarity is that he is not only a contractor but also a magician, to completely screen the power of the contract, we need to find a large number of ancient scrolls, and I don't know if we can find a way, this contractor can't use the demonic energy that resides in his body, It's also a strange place, the average contractor can only make the contract disappear when he dies, or someone will set up a legendary sealing array to seal the demon in another place, so the contract is with the person for the rest of his life. ”

Baron next to him said: "I don't think there is any need to solve the problem of this contract, firstly, the demon's ability cannot be used, and secondly, the demon cannot control the host's body, as for the shortness of life, everyone will die in the end, and there is no point in calculating the long and short." ”

Stockler also said: "No matter what the outcome will be, I think Mark wants to care about the girls around him, and as for her problems, we will try our best to help her." ”

Stockler seemed to understand other people's intentions, I nodded, and Father Buckley, who was sitting next to me, said to me, "We don't have any good methods for the time being, you don't have to worry, practice the spells in the magic book well, and we will let you know as soon as we have good news." ”

The Drake Sect said: "The purpose of today's gathering is to let new people get to know everyone, and some are to meet the contractor, and everyone should pay attention to the Holy Cross's search for Alice, she must be an important person that the other party is looking for, I have planted a magic mark on Mark, we can all find him at any time, this is the end of today's meeting, let's go back and collect news and information." After everyone stood up and saluted the Holy Church, they left without saying a word, and after Alice and I had finished the salute, the Drake Saint, Father Buckley, and Karting all stayed, and the Drake Saint commanded: "As for you who are members of the Church, we will provide you with the protection you deserve, during this time Buckley is in the light and Karting is in the dark, do you understand?" ”

Father Buckley and Karting both nodded, and Drake said to me again: "For the time being, you are still living normally, don't worry about the current situation, once you are in danger, we will shelter you, so let's stop here today." ”

As we all walked out of the underground synagogue, I wondered how they would know if I was in danger. Since I had the support of some mysterious people, of course I was happy, Alice seemed quiet during the meeting, and did not speak on the way back, and it was Mr. Karding who sent us downstairs, and after saying goodbye to Kartin, I asked Alice, "Why didn't you talk all the way?" ”

Alice slowly threw herself into my arms and said, "If I die, can you not be sad?" ”

In this quiet night, I breathed heavily and said in a deep voice, "No! ”

I hugged her body tightly.
