Chapter Thirty-Eight: Intimidation in the Air
Seeing that Xie Wanhua refused to speak, I picked up the diary and said again: "Look at these pages, this is just an ordinary diary, and there are no secrets in it, why does Xie Wanqiao strictly guard such a diary?" ”
"This ......," Xie Wanhua hesitated for a long time before saying, "I always thought that my sister had something on her mind, but she didn't tell me." ”
I said in a deep voice: "If you want to uncover Xie Wanqiao's secret, the only way is to retrieve her diary." Dr. Xie, could you please get the diary back as soon as possible? ”
Xie Wanhua gritted her teeth and said, "I'll try it!" But ......"
Xie Wanhua quickly connected to the phone video and spoke to the other party in fluent English for a long time. Although I couldn't understand what they said, I knew that he was arguing with Xie Wanhua by looking at the foreigner's expression.
I walked to the front of the computer: "Dr. Xie, you translate for me, I'll do it." ”
After Xie Wanhua gave a brief introduction, the old man over there suddenly sank, and said something in a low tone. Xie Wanhua translated: "Dr. Tom said that you are not the person concerned, and he doesn't want to talk to you more. ”
I said in a deep voice, "Make up a reasonable identity for me." ”
After Xie Wanhua finished speaking, she continued to translate: "He said, I can understand your feelings, but that diary is too important. Once the results of the research are achieved, it will promote the development of psychology, and it will be a loss for all mankind to return to us. ”
I said coldly: "The loss of human beings has nothing to do with me, I want a diary." ”
Dr. Tom in the video didn't listen to me at all, and kept talking to himself. Xie Wanhua continued: "He said that his own approach was shameless and even moral, but he did it not for himself, but to promote the progress of psychology. For the sake of the development of psychology and for the sake of all mankind, he can only be a shameless person once. ”
"Damn, that old man is a scoundrel!" I was so angry that I almost yelled.
Xie Wanhua hurriedly said: "He wants to turn off the video!" ”
"Tell him to hear me say three words!" When I roared in a hurry, Xie Wanhua also translated it.
Tom crossed his hands and made a helpless gesture.
I said in a deep voice: "Dr. Xie, you tell him that there is witchcraft in the diary in his hand, and now that the witchcraft has occurred, if he does not return the diary, be careful that there is no place to die." ”
Xie Wanhua translated: "He said that he was an atheist and did not believe in witchcraft, only science. ”
I stared at Tom in the video: "Aren't you afraid of being haunted by ghosts?" ”
Tom smiled contemptuously, "Are you talking about evil spirits?" Although your Eastern magic is mysterious, there is also a Holy See in the West. Although I have never believed in this, since you have mentioned witchcraft, I can tell you bluntly that I have a good relationship with many bishops. ”
Tom sneered, "Okay, Mr. Wu, I think the conversation between us has become more and more boring, I hope we don't have such a call in the future." ”
Before Xie Wanhua could speak, the video became pitch black, and it seemed that the other party forcibly turned off the video.
Xie Wanhua was so angry that she shed tears: "I shouldn't believe him...... I ......"
Although Lao Du didn't say a word, his face was extremely gloomy.
I said in a deep voice, "Isn't that old man afraid of ghosts?" Then I'll let him go to hell. ”
Xie Wanhua looked at me and said, "What can you do?" ”
I nodded, "Yes, but it might ruin the pages of your diary." ”
Xie Wanhua bit her lip and refused to speak, apparently because she didn't want me to touch her sister's diary again. Lao Du said, "Let's move!" Wan Qiao's diary must be retrieved. ”
"Then let me arrange......" I stood up, pulled out a coffin nail from my backpack, and asked Xie Wanhua for a long needle for sewing clothes.
First, nail one page of the diary to the table with a coffin nail, and then connect Xie Wanqiao's mantra together, tie one end to the nail head, and wrap the other end with a steel needle to pierce the other page of the diary.
By the time I had moved the two diaries against the table, the hair between the coffin nail and the steel needle had been stretched into a diagonal line.
I sandwiched three sticks of yellow incense side by side between the index finger and middle finger of my left hand, and with the back of my hand facing up, I lit the yellow incense with the head of the incense facing the sky, holding the incense in the air, and drawing circles on the mantra from east to west.
It didn't take long for bursts of sparks to burst out of the incense. After the scattered fires fell on the back of my hands, the smell of burnt hairs wafted out.
It's done!
Incense, whether it is for gods or ghosts, should be below. Incense floats up for respect. Burning incense on the head is tantamount to a provocation, with the intention of forcibly subduing the other party, which will inevitably cause the other party to rebound. The yellow incense in my hand began to burst into flames, which is the best proof of this.
I looked up at Xie Wanhua: "You press your left index finger on the coffin nail, and I will cut your finger with a knife." Don't worry, I won't cut too deep, just a little blood from you. But if I don't tell you to move your finger, you don't move, you know? ”
Xie Wanhua nodded and put her hand on the top of the nail head, and after I gently picked Xie Wanhua's fingertips with the dagger, the red blood spread along the nail head, and only a moment later, the nail head was full of blood.
Seeing that Xie Wanhua's blood was about to spill from around the nail head, a bead of blood flowed from the curse to the diary on the table.
I held Huang Xiang and said in a deep voice, "Don't move, wait for the blood to flow." ”
After all, Xie Wanhua's blood was too little, and the blood bead only flowed to the middle of the spell before stopping.
I simply tapped the nail of the coffin with my dagger, and two beads of blood immediately flowed down the spell and towards the diary......
"Steady, don't move!" When I struck the nail of the coffin with the dagger, the beads of blood on the nail head also flowed down one by one, and continued to flow to the diary.
After the blood beads that had been spilled all the way spread over the spell and landed on the diary, the thin page suddenly glowed with a burst of red blood mist.
In just an instant, the blood mist that diffused from near the steel needle suddenly disintegrated, turning into a blood spot and falling onto the paper.
With a slam of two fingers on my left hand, I sandwiched the yellow incense into two sections, and the incense sticks with the fire fell one after another, and my eyes were locked on the flipped incense.
I watched as a yellow incense turned in the air twice in a row, and then the incense that lit the flame was aimed at the spell and fell straight down. The moment the fire touched the hair, the spell that had been straightened suddenly broke in two, one left and one right.
One spell was like a severed viper, writhing violently and wrapping around the nail of a coffin, while the other was directly immersed in the blood spots on the diary.
I breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, you can wrap the wound!" ”
Xie Wanhua wrapped the wound and asked, "What did you just do?" ”
I explained, "All spells have to be through a certain medium to take effect. To put it simply, spells need something to pass on, either a ghost or an evil spirit. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the things that guard the diary should fall into the category of evil spirits. These pages of the diary in your hand have only taken away some of the evil spirits, and the vast majority of the evil spirits are still in the original diary. ”
"Evil spirits, more easily manic than ghosts, and once they go crazy, they will make no distinction between friend and foe, and it is easy to retaliate against the caster. Everything I just did was to provoke the evil spirits. Whenever the demon goes crazy, the first thing to come to mind is Tom's stinking and shameless thing. ”
Xie Wanhua worried: "If Dr. Tom is killed by the evil spirit, then we won't be able to retrieve the diary?" ”
I shook my head and said, "There are many kinds of evil spirits, and there are also high and low grades. The evil spirits in the diary are not of high rank, and it takes a lot of effort to kill Tom. After a few days of torture, I don't believe Tom won't contact you. ”
Lao Du opened his mouth and said, "That Tom just now, didn't he say that he knew the bishop?" In case he finds someone to crack the evil spirit, we don't work in vain? ”
I said in a deep voice, "So, I'm gambling that Tom, that old thing, won't go to the Holy See in order to get the secrets in the diary." ”
"Don't look at what the old man said is high-sounding, anything for the advancement of medicine and for the benefit of mankind is bullshit. If he had that heart, he could have taken out the diary and studied it with others. He dominates the diary, isn't it for himself to be famous? ”
I paused and said, "Although I haven't met anyone from the Holy See, I know a little bit about the way the Holy See exorcises demons. In their eyes, there is no such thing as compassion, and evil spirits must be purified. ”
"Once Tom finds the Holy See, the entire diary will be destroyed, and he will have nothing left. Do you think a person who wants to be famous and wants to go crazy will watch the opportunity slip away? ”
Xie Wanhua said: "Are you so sure that Tom will definitely return the diary to us?" ”
I said in a deep voice, "Tom is not going to compromise easily, and I guess he will find a way to negotiate terms with us." As long as he is afraid, we have the upper hand. ”
I looked up at Xie Wanhua: "I think, how to put pressure on the other party, you should be better than me, right?" ”
Xie Wanhua nodded and said, "I hope your speculation is correct." Tom's thoughts, sometimes even I can't figure it out. ”
I didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue with her: "It should be daytime in England, the evil spirits are not coming out so soon, you take a rest first, I think, tomorrow will almost have the result." ”
I said to Lao Du: "You go and get a folding bed, you can rest here, and I will help you watch." ”
Although Lao Du and Xie Wanhua slept for a while, it was far from enough for them to recover, and it didn't take long for them to fall asleep one after another. The two of them slept for about another day and a night before they woke up.
As soon as Xie Wanhua woke up, she stayed next to the computer, and according to my guess, Tom should be almost unable to hold on. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Tom to take the initiative to contact Xie Wanhua. When the other party saw Xie Wanhua, he roared: "Xie Wanhua, what do you want to do?" ”
