Chapter 40: The Book of Night Ravens
The momentum of the accumulation is rapidly declining.
The pace of moving forward slows down.
Dumon's eyes became blank, and his vicious right arm was hunched to the ground, turning into a shriveled leather tube.
When he walked in front of Su Xian, his footsteps completely stopped, and he hung his head like a repentant sinner.
Su Xian held the "Luo ●'s Card Book" in his left hand, and pressed his right hand on the "Reverse Hangman", looking at him with a flat gaze, no hatred, no joy, no anger, and no sorrow.
With the activation of the skill, Dimon's soul seemed to be hooked by the hook of fate and pulled out of his body.
As if there were invisible threads pulling at it, the soul's hands were pulled behind him, and his feet were forcibly brought together.
His spine stood up, turning into a pitch-black stake.
The hands and feet are tied behind the back.
In the cycle of light and darkness, the stake begins to rotate counterclockwise.
When the field of vision turned from black to white, the stake just turned 180 degrees.
Dumon's soul was frozen on the stake.
Such as a condemned sinner.
……
Its body hung its head and its arms hunched, like a walking corpse wandering on the banks of the River Styx.
……
Su Xian glanced at his soul, closed the card album, and said, "Follow me." ”
Then he strode to the door of the church.
Dimon's body unconsciously followed his orders, turning to follow him.
He walked down the path between the benches, glancing only slightly sideways as he passed Professor Barker.
But at this glance, Professor Buck's hair stood on end, and he instinctively took a step back, clinging to the wall, panicked.
If he wanted to sit on the sidelines before, now he doesn't even have the slightest intention of doing so.
No one wants to be like Dimon.
Those sacrifices also stared at Su Xian's back with fear until he walked out of the church.
The moment the evil god realm in the church was lifted, the dim light came back on, but no one moved for a long time, and only the sound of torrential rain and thunder came in from outside.
……
After Su Xian walked out of the church, he directly found an abandoned house next to him and entered.
He pushed the door open, waited for Dumont to follow, closed the door, and walked up the stairs to the second floor of the house.
Dimon lost all momentum, but not without thinking.
His soul seems to be hanging upside down from a stake, but in fact it is still connected to the body.
It's not out of the body.
Su Xian sat down on the couch covered with ashes, looked up at the walking corpse-like Dimon, and tried to ask, "Can you still talk?" ”
Dimon shuddered and didn't make a sound.
Su Xian's heart moved slightly, and he pinched the "Reverse Hanger" in his hand, trying to reduce the power of this skill.
When he felt the same, he asked the same thing again: "Can you speak?" ”
Dimon's eyes were half-closed, still blank, but he slowly spoke: "Yes." ”
Su Xian carefully observed for a while, confirmed that he was still a salted fish, and after a little thought in his heart, he asked, "Do you know who you are?" ”
Dimon said in a tone that didn't have any flat falls, "Yes." ”
But he didn't say his name.
Su Xian was silent for a while, and then said, "Learn to bark." ”
Dumont: "Wang." ”
Su Xian: "......"
……
He rubbed his temples, feeling slightly tired.
The "reverse hanger" can dominate the soul of a person, so that the person loses all momentum, does not take the initiative to do anything, and does not even want to think.
In modern parlance, it is to turn a person into a complete salted fish.
And to put it another way, it is to turn a person into a walking corpse.
At this moment, the "upside-down hanger" has entered a state of utopian inaction in disguise.
This state is extremely close to the state of people after being hypnotized, but the level is even deeper, pointing directly to the soul!
If Su Xian is proficient in psychology and hypnosis, he can even hypnotize him in the true sense!
As for whether the effect of hypnosis can continue after the skill ends...... Since it has not been tested, it is not known yet.
Su Xian had already realized this at this moment.
He squinted his eyes, regained his energy a little, and began to hurry up and ask Dimon questions.
For someone who doesn't have any extra thinking, asking questions requires some skill, but it's not that hard.
He quickly asked what he wanted to know.
……
When Dumont came to Brut City, he first bought an apartment in a less populated area.
But he did not immediately begin the second sacrifice.
First, because the conditions of the sacrifice were very harsh, in addition to the problem of timing, the seventeen people who were sacrificed must also be sincere when they drip blood into the small bowl!
This condition prevented him from using brutal means to achieve his goal, so he turned his mind to the old men who were also eager to continue their lives, and chose Mrs. Green as a partner for this purpose.
Madame Green is the owner of Redwood Winery, and when she was young, she had an affair with the Earl, and the two were in love, and they soon hooked up again.
But in preparation for the second sacrifice, Dimon realized that what he was doing now was evil and unacceptable to the world—although he was not a good man, the older a person grew, the more afraid he was of the consequences of fate, so he was a little jealous.
It was also at that time that he met a man when he was walking deep in the alley at night.
It was a hunchbacked old man who had completely encased himself in a black robe, and only his ugly hooked nose could be seen in the night.
Dumont was very vigilant, but the old man didn't say anything to him, just gave him a book as thick as Cihai, and told him that if there was anything he wanted to know, open the book and read it.
Dumont wanted to ask, but the old man disappeared very abruptly.
When he came back to his senses, he was the only one left in the alley.
He was terrified at the time out of his awe and thirst for supernatural powers, but when he returned to his place of residence, he couldn't help but open the book.
He wanted to know more about the Gospels and the God to whom He sacrificed!
So after a sleepless night, he finally chose to open the book.
It was a black book with no writing on the cover, and the cover was very thick, and when it was opened—there was still no writing in it!
He began to flip the pages frantically, feeling like he had been completely tricked.
But when he flipped through it, he found a dark compartment in the middle of the book, and a quill was hidden inside.
The feathers on the pen were pitch black, like feathers plucked from a crow.
He trembled and picked up his pen, and suddenly realized the meaning of the old man's words.
So he didn't dip it in ink, but used the pen to write in the book.
The words he writes on the right side of the book, immediately after the left, will have an extra signature on it: [Unnamed].
Soon after, a new line suddenly appeared under the line on the left page.
He still remembers it clearly, it was:
[Curse Moon]: Another newcomer is coming?
