Chapter 678: Light and Darkness Together
Mark immediately rushed to the scene when he heard this, and by the time he arrived at the scene, the police had already finished collecting evidence, and Mark wanted to see the body, but it had been pulled away by the police.
"I need to see the body."
Mark was holding a book in his hand, with a black leather cover, and he couldn't tell what it was.
Through a conversation between the Order and the police, Mark was able to see the couple's bodies without incident.
Opening the body bag, first of all, the female corpse, Mark briefly looked at the examination records, then carefully examined the whole body of the corpse, and finally found a trace of corruption in the wound on the chest, this corruption is not the normal decay of the corpse, because this corruption is round, as if it has been poked by something.
There was a small round decaying hole in the heart, and the wound was so small that it was not caused by a steel tube at all, as if it were caused by a needle in a syringe.
Other than that, there was nothing unusual, and the skin on the corpse's chest had been punctured by a steel pipe, so it was not known if the rotting wound had been pierced from the chest.
Mark took another look at the female corpse's wound and then came to the male corpse.
Similarly, when the body bag was opened, the wounds of the male corpse were on the wrists of both hands and the soles of both feet, and three steel nails directly penetrated these three places and nailed him to the wall.
Mark also examined the body, and there were no round wounds on his chest, except for the three wounds.
Mark frowned, flipped through the book in his hand, and he kept flipping through it until he reached the illustrated page.
The illustration shows ten people around a pile of blood, with the corpses of many women lying around, and in the middle of the ten people is a bloodied child with black and white light.
This is a ritual, a ritual to summon the seventy-two pillars of King Solomon, and each ritual will have a demon god summoned to the world, obviously, the demon god summoned this time is Shaxx, otherwise he would not appear in the world so often.
The demon body cannot come to the human world at will, and most of them can only move around the human world at the cost of possession, except for a few top demons.
The fastest way for most demons to descend on earth is through the summoning ritual, so that there are no believers in the human world to summon them.
Mark looked at the illustration with a solemn face, Shaxx obviously wanted to come to earth, and his plan was being implemented.
"Go and check the activities of all denominations during this time, especially the predominantly female ones."
Mark instructed the priest beside him that this ritual of summoning Shaxx required the sacrifice of virgins, so if you want to find Shaxx's followers, you must start with the female disciples.
The priest immediately left to investigate, the intelligence agencies of the Holy See are independent of any country, they have the intelligence of all the sects in the world, and any newly formed sect in the West is in the sight of the Holy See.
Leaving the police station, Mark returns to his residence, where the couple killed in Chinatown is certainly not an ordinary murder, and the couple's child is missing, and Mark analyzes that the child may have been sacrificed so that Shaxx can come to earth through the child's body.
But judging from the pictures and text descriptions on the illustrations, this child must also have two powers, one black and one white, what are these two powers? The couple is obviously ordinary people, can their children have both powers?
Mark rubbed his eyes tiredly, got up and made a cup of coffee, according to the book, the sacrificed child needs to have two powers at the same time, one black and one white, these two powers are in one body, is the child still alive.
Mark knows that these two forces represent light and darkness, but the existence of these two forces at the same time will conflict, and the two forces will constantly fight each other and attack each other in the body, knowing that one of the forces is completely strangled, but this process will directly lead to the death of the host.
This night, Mark checked a lot of information, all of which were aimed at the light and dark constitution, even the Vatican's huge database did not have much explanation about this situation, after all, this situation is so rare, no one with the light and dark body can live to adulthood, and even the youngest one in the data only went for three months.
This kind of physique is too rare, there is no way to balance light and darkness, even the Holy See is helpless, can only forcibly suppress it can not be completely solved, but forcibly suppressing can only protect a lifetime but not a lifetime, and when the suppression effect disappears, it will be attacked like never before.
The night passed, with his hair like a chicken coop, the coffee in the coffee pot gone, and the table in front of him was a pile of materials and books in addition to the computer.
There were no clues that night, except for Mark, and the priests who had been out there collecting clues had all returned in vain.
"Let's all go and rest, get a good night's sleep, and talk about the rest later."
Mark told everyone to go to rest first, and he went out to interrupt breakfast.
Coming to the restaurant, which is a fast-food restaurant selling some hamburgers, fries and pies, Mark simply ordered a set menu and asked for a small apple pie, sweets can stimulate the brain, open the mind, and also help the body and mind to be happy.
"Hey, did you hear, last night Jack saw a bunch of strange people performing a ritual in the scrapyard to the east."
A blonde young man said angrily to a little lady sitting across from him.
"I heard that Jack said that the group of people still drew some magic circle with blood, and said some inexplicable things, and finally said that the blood was not enough, and he looked at it for a while and left in fear."
The little sister said indifferently while eating French fries.
"Cut, that guy Jack is a coward, if I keep watching."
The blonde young man said a word of disdain and began to gulp down the hamburger.
Mark heard the conversation between the two and felt the need to visit the scrapyard, he was usually not nosy, but these were extraordinary times, and Mark was worried that those people were planning to summon Shaxx's followers.
It turns out that Mark was right in his fears, and that group of people was Shaxx's followers, half of the ten were elderly, both men and women, Shaxx promised them youth, and the other half were middle-aged, Shaxx promised them wealth and status.
Demons are like that, they often tempt you with what your heart desires most, but they never break their word, they always do what they say, but after you get what you want, the demon will also get your soul.
Mark hastily finished eating, took the apple pie and walked to the scrap yard that the two bad boys said.
The scrap yard is very large and there are a lot of cars, and the placement is also scattered and disorganized, and there is a factory in the middle of the Philadelphia factory, where the scrapped vehicles are disassembled.
Mark first walked around the perimeter of the scrap yard, and he found that there was not even a monitoring probe around the scrap yard, and through the rusty sign at the front entrance, he knew that the scrap yard was empty after four o'clock in the evening, and there was no guard, so the convenient conditions were completely prepared for this group of people.
Mark went around again, remembered the route and went back, he was dressed in a priest's suit, there were always people greeting him along the way, no one doubted why he was wandering around the scrapyard, even the patrolling policemen greeted him very friendly, just because he was a priest.
