Chapter 122: The Divine Hall Encounters the Dark Sacrifice
Under the leadership of the Nine Buckets, Li Mi successfully sneaked into the Tongzai Hall, and was about to search for the traces of Kaoru Asakusa, but he didn't expect the Nine Buckets to take him to such a secret shrine!
Li Mi pushed open the shrine and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him!
In his impression, whether it is a Catholic or Christian shrine, it should be full of holiness and warmth, but this hidden small shrine is full of darkness and evil, even if the psychological quality is as strong as Li Mi, there is also an impulse that is unwilling to step into half a step and wants to leave immediately!
The temple was not large, with only a candlestick, and in the dim light of the lamp, there was a St. Peter's cross, the upside-down cross, hanging from the front wall!
I don't know how many times the cross was drenched with blood, and these blood stains coagulated and coagulated, emitting a foul smell, like red-black gelatin, but even if it stenched, not a single mosquito, fly or reptile was seen!
On the ark beneath the cross was a row of tiny skulls, apparently the skulls of infants!
And in the middle of the holy cabinet, there is a black Bible, Li Mi walked in and took a look, even if he didn't understand the text on it, he could see that it was a dark apocrypha!
This apocryphal depicts the image of the devil, as well as a lot of strange and distorted charms and coats of arms, and more importantly, the cover of this apocryphal is actually translucent leather, because of the stretching and tightening, you can even see the residual body hair and pores on it, which is clearly made of human skin!
Li Mi originally thought that this Emmanuel was an impostor, but he didn't expect this person to be a dark saint!
It's no wonder that the little fat man pulled Li Mi here, and even bluntly said that the red-haired ghost is not a good thing, such a scene, if it were another child, I am afraid that he would have been scared half to death, and it would be a loss to a person with nine buckets whose nerves are thicker than his legs.
Li Mi thought about it, then stepped forward, closed the apocryphal scripture, and looked at the cover, there was an inverted chalice pattern on it, and under the pattern was the title of the book in oblique letters, which could be seen to be "Grimorium Verum"!
"It's this book!" Li Mi was also shocked, but he didn't expect that this was not a dark apocrypha, but a black magic book!
This black magic book, also known as "The Truth of Grimoire", is a black magic book circulated in Italy, probably appeared around the 16th century, and the time is about the same as the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, I didn't expect these people to bring this book over!
This book of dark magic is the culmination of dark and evil magic, and the inverted chalice on the cover, known as Lucifer's coat of arms, is used by Satanists to summon the fallen angel Lucifer!
Before Li Mi entered the police academy, he was very obsessed with crime mystery novels, and it can be said that his dream of becoming a detective was born out of these novels.
Agatha, Edgar Allan Poe, Edogawa Ranbu, Conan Doyle, etc., Li Mi loved their works, and he was simply familiar with the plots and some special things in them.
The things described in literary works, by chance, were held in his hands so vividly, what an impact and shock to Li Mi's soul!
Jiu Bucket showed a disgusted expression, and said to Li Mi: "Wronged, let's go, I just think this place is mysterious, so I took you in to have a look, and I can't stay for a moment now......"
Li Mi also knew that time was pressing, this place was so secretive, the black magic book was spread out, and there was still a little smoke in the incense burner of the holy cabinet, thinking that they had just performed some kind of dark ritual.
This book is so important, it is impossible to keep it on the holy ark all the time, it must have been forgotten by Emmanuel and the others after the ceremony, and they will definitely come back to collect the book later, and then it will be troublesome.
Li Mi didn't have time to think about it, so he was about to leave with the nine buckets, but as soon as he reached the door, he turned back, tore off a tablecloth next to him, wrapped up the large black magic book, and let the nine buckets carry it.
Nine buckets looked reluctant, but he also knew that these were not good things, and the reason why Li Mi wanted to take them away was because he was worried that the red-haired ghost would use these things to harm people again, so he reluctantly carried it.
After coming out of the Divine Hall, they were just about to leave, but Li Mi suddenly became alert and suddenly pressed the hilt of the knife!
There were already five or six people in front of them, the first of whom was wearing a black monk's robe, a white hat, a scarlet ribbon, and some dark artifacts in his hands.
And beside him were two fair-skinned and blonde female foreigners, wearing priestly robes, and behind him were two short Japanese thugs, wearing red bamboo armor, wearing ghost helmets, and carrying knives that were longer than Li Mi's height!
Li Mi thought that Emmanuel would question them, who they were, why they trespassed on private territory, etc., but Emmanur did not have any intention of asking, but ordered the people around him in pure official words.
"Kill them!"
Li Mi also knew that he had touched the biggest secret of these red-haired ghosts, and they would not let Li Mi go no matter what!
The two female foreigners took out their robes from the sacrifice, revealing their snow-white slender thighs, and in the blink of an eye, they pulled out their slender and straight stabbing swords, but the two widows stood opposite each other, you pull out my sword, I pull out your knife, and pull out the long knife!
Li Mi also suddenly realized, although life and death are at a critical juncture, he has always been confused, the knife is so long, and the Japanese are generally as short as monkeys, how can they pull out the knife, it turns out that the truth is to draw each other's knives!
If he hadn't entered the shrine and stole the black magic book, maybe Li Mi would have taken the initiative to report his identity as planned, causing them to be jealous, and these people would not dare to kill him.
It's just that he didn't expect that this Emmanur would be such an evil dark saint, and at such a juncture, no matter how Li Mi explained, he would definitely not let Li Mi leave alive!
Li Mi didn't think much about it, so he pushed the nine barrels aside and roared in a deep voice: "Run!" ”
The nine buckets were also frightened and their legs weakened, but under the instinctive stimulation, they also crawled backwards with a rolling belt, while Li Mi untied the burden indiscriminately, pulled out the old antique gun, and pointed at Emmanuer!
The faces of the two female priests and the Japanese warriors also changed drastically, and they hurriedly protected Emmanuel behind them, especially the two warriors, when they saw the old antique gun in Li Mi's hand, they also scolded Li Mi angrily in blunt Ming official words.
"It's you, the damned man, who killed the Raven Pure Leader!"
Emmanuel had a big beard, and he couldn't tell his exact age, but his hooked nose was very eye-catching, and he was sacrificing to the two maidens at this time.
"Good sister, the Dark Lord will protect you, overcome all the enemies in front of you, all the dangers and fears, will bypass you, kill this person quickly!"
The two female priests didn't even have the slightest suspicion, as if the musket bullets would really avoid their bodies, raised their swords, and stabbed at Li Mi!
Li Mi knew that after being poisoned by the cult, these people had lost their humanity, as long as they had the opportunity, they would let these two female priests eat Li Mi, and they would not frown!
Li Mi didn't dare to think about it, because these two female foreigners used fencing skills, and with his half-hanging knife technique, they couldn't resist it at all, either you die or I live, and my life hung by a thread, Li Mi wanted to pull the trigger from instinct!
However, looking at the insensitive and empty eyes of the two female priests, Li Mi finally relented.
He is not a murderer, strictly speaking, these two female priests are also victims, and Emmanur is the real mastermind!
After all, Li Mi's muzzle was raised by five points!
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
As if it were really like God's blessing, Li Mi's flintlock pistol struck one after another, but the sparks could not ignite*!
Although Li Mi's flintlock pistol is an antique shape, it is a new gun, and at that time, it was an extremely advanced firearm.
He himself knows the principle of the flintlock pistol, so he cleans it from time to time and maintains it very well, but the thing is so mysterious, at this time he snapped and pulled the trigger, and it couldn't be activated three times in a row!
Seeing that the two female priests had already been assassinated, and one of the two samurai had already gone around to the back and pursued the Nine Barrels!
"He's just a cult leader, it's all just a coincidence!" Li Mi kept telling himself this in his heart, and then pulled the trigger again!
"Smack!"
The flint nose hit the anvil and splashed sparks, and finally ignited*!
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, tongues of fire spewed, smoke surged, gunshots rang out through the night sky, and the iron sand filled in the barrel rushed out, even if Li Mi raised the muzzle of the gun, there were still many scattered bullets that hit the two female priests, although it was not fatal, but it was enough to repel them!
The priestesses let out an exclamation, and then both fell to the ground, and the fright they received was the main reason compared to the injuries caused by the iron sand.
Emmanuel didn't expect Li Mi's short gun to have such great power!
He also sailed from the West, he has traveled to many countries, seen many ancient civilizations, and learned a lot of newly emerging scientific and technological products, but he did not expect that the young people who broke into his own territory would have such powerful firearms, and they were also flintlocked!
"Darkness will hang over you for the rest of your life!" Seeing this, Emmanur cursed, and then stepped back, and the only remaining warrior rushed towards Li Mi!
The so-called one inch long and one inch strong, one inch short and one inch dangerous, this samurai's sword is half a cut longer than Li Mi's height, if you really want to wield it, it is a little difficult to dodge!
However, no matter how long this knife is, it can't be as long as Li Mi's short gun, but this short gun is only a single shot, and if you want to fire again, you need to reload.
Although * has been weighed, divided into small packets, only need to pour into the chamber of the gun, use the firing pin to make it strong, and then stuff it into the soft cloth wrapped in iron bullets, to be able to fire again, but the whole process takes at least three or two minutes!
Although Li Mi also has strengthened exercises, he is still a new hand after all, and now it is a critical moment, how can he complete the refill in a short time!
If you don't use a musket, Li Mi will only have the Qi family knife and the fetal short knife that he asked for back from Qiu Dong, his own knife skills have not been cultivated to his home, and the enemy is a ferocious widow who has experienced a hundred battles, what should this be!
