Chapter 13: The Necronomicon
Danny still approached the one-eyed dragon Nick Fury and told him about the hand and meeting he had obtained from Kunlun. The three-dimensional projection of the one-eyed dragon sat across from Danny, his hands propped on his chin, and his face was solemn as he pondered the information Danny had brought.
After a long time, he spoke: "Thank you for telling us this, in fact, the Hand Peace Meeting, although it is not a secret, but we did not expect that the five fingers of the Hand Peace Club actually have such a origin." I didn't expect that the power of the magic blade was actually involved......"
Danny said solemnly: "The Hand Peace Society must want to sacrifice the Demon Blade with blood, according to the records, the Demon Blade must be sacrificed with blood, if they regain the power of the Demon Blade, the consequences will be unimaginable." The whole of New New York could be destroyed because of this! ”
Nick Fury nodded on the table and nodded, "If you want to stop the Hand and Meeting, you need the help of two people!" ”
"One is the stick, I told you, he is the master of the Daredevil Hero, the one who single-handedly trained him. But there are still some things you don't know, he is also the sworn enemy of the Hand Peace Society, the leader of the ninja organization Innocence Society. The Innocence Society and the Tewakai are rivals, and he knows a lot of important information about the Tewakai. Of course, more importantly, he wants to destroy Hand and will more than you! ”
"If you can get his help, you will catch the fatal point of the hand and the meeting!"
Danny said in a deep voice, "Without your reminder, I'm going to go to him." I may have guessed some of the first person you mentioned, but the second person had no clue...... Do I know him? ”
"Acquaintance!" The one-eyed dragon knocked on the table and said, "But you don't trust him......"
Then a photo of Chen Ang appeared in the projection, and Chen Ang in the photo was wearing a hat, dressed ordinary, looking into the distance and seemingly staring at something.
"Aung Chan, you may not have heard of his name, but in a special person...... That is, in the ears of those of us, his name is widely spread. He is one of the most legendary symbols in the field of investigators, in the United States, in Europe, he has investigated mysterious events, and encountered dangers beyond your imagination. ”
"This is really a mysterious person, he is a legend and a fan!"
Chen Ang's file began to appear in the projection, and Danny noticed some small black print, all of which were: Silent Hill Investigation Report, Elm Street Mystery Incident, Crystal Lake Camp Murder Investigation, Cult Sacrifice Behind the Texas Human Skin Case, Hannibal's Oral Narrative - Psychoanalysis of Investigator Aung Chen, Brill Cliff Asylum Investigation, Los Angeles Murder House Murder Murder Case, Mysterious Falls Town Abnormal Human Research, Colombian Golden Lake Expedition Diary, River Valley Town Cult Family Investigation, Kennedy International Airport Boeing 777 Passenger Plane Parasite Incident... …
In the midst of the dense collection of survey reports, there are countless ancient papyrus and parchment books written in Latin or hieroglyphic and Hebrew, innumerable hexagonal, circular, and circular intricate geometric patterns, and graffiti-like mystical imprints, mixed with intricate star maps on oracle bones and stone tablets.
Nick continues: "He was a truly great master of occultism, having studied Chinese ethnology for a master's degree in his youth, and later went on to earn a double doctorate in folklore and religious studies, and studied occultism at Cambridge University, where he was initially a researcher of oriental occultism. But during his time as an insurance investigator, he was exposed to a series of bizarre events, and again, all I can say is that his progress was amazing, and his excellent knowledge and amazing adaptability made him out of control. ”
"After being deployed to North America, he quickly became a master of the occult in both the East and the West, especially in black magic and cult rituals."
"It may be that there are so many cults in the United States that have given him corresponding practical experience!" "In the end, he chose to go to Europe and track down the cults' strongholds, and he traced them all the way from England to Romania, and then along the ancient Silk Road, all the way back to China, and we don't even know what happened along the way," Nick joked. ”
"But if anyone can figure out a series of sinister schemes of Hand and Guild, he has to be!"
Thinking back to the conversation with the one-eyed dragon just now, Danny found the hotel where Chen Ang was, and after asking the front desk room number, he just arrived at the door when he heard the people inside: "Come in!" ”
Danny walked in, Chen Ang was reading a black book in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and before Danny explained his intentions, Chen Ang closed the book and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to come to the door so quickly!" Looks like someone reminded you......"
Danny nodded and smiled, "I've investigated Harold's whereabouts before he died, and his death is likely related to a ninja organization called the Hand and Kai, which occupies a large part of New New York, and even the underground world on the west coast of the Atlantic. Moreover, the conspiracy of the Hand Peace Association ...... "Danny informed Chen Ang of the relevant clues of his investigation with reservations.
Chen Ang nodded slightly, "Take the page of the parchment you got on the Harold computer!" ”
Danny had already prepared to take out a copy of the photo, Chen Ang took the copy, put on his glasses to check it, his face was solemn, concentrated, and it took a long time to put down the copy and said: "This is the Book of Necrons written by the mad Arab poet Abdullah Al-Hasad in 730 AD. ”
"Of course, this is not the original. Although it is a parchment book, it seems to have been intended to mislead the reader into believing that it was translated by the Greek scholar Theodorus Phretas in Constantinople in 950 AD, since this is the only version written on parchment in Greek. But the page we see, with its abridged charts of the positions of Yoggs, Koth, and Charnos, is so rudimentary that it should have been republished in Italy by the publisher Aardas Manutius. ”
"This published edition was originally illegalized by Patriarch Mikhail of Constantinople in 1050, burned it, and based on the remnants of the manuscript, it was edited and printed, so it lacks the star chart."
"This edition, which was printed in less than 100 copies, was also subject to a massive ban, but I know that the collection of the University of San Marcos in Lima, Peru, may be the last folio in Greek. This parchment is supposed to be someone's vintage manuscript at the University of San Marcos. ”
Chen Ang returned the copy to Danny and said, "I think I already know what Hand Hehui and Harold want to do!" ”
He turned his head and asked Danny, "You said, there may still be a magic blade made by the Yin and Yang family in the hands of the hand and the Hui-Wudao?" He stood up from his desk, turned his head to look at the dusk view of New York behind the floor-to-ceiling window, and said slowly: "Divine Soldiers and Demon Blades, each with different magical powers. The divine soldiers must be recast and re-lighted, and the demon blades must be sacrificed in blood. ”
"Whether it's the Necronomicon or the Demon Blade, what they all have in common is that they require sacrificial rituals in order to reforge and summon certain beings. Most of these rituals are very evil and require the ritual killing of a specific target at a specific time, in a specific place, in a specific way, and ritually. ”
"These ritual features are very obvious, so ...... I need information on the cases of unnatural deaths in New York City in the last three years, and I need to know every single person who has gone missing and died in this city in recent days. Within three months, whether it is a normal or unnatural death and all the information of the disappearance, you need to show me it! ”
"I need a detailed map of the city, including sewers, abandoned factories and residential areas."
"I need the organization behind you, to monitor the movements of the hands and the people of the meeting."
Chen Ang ordered Danny, who was silent for a moment before he spoke, "What you need, I will contact you to send it to you......"
Chen Ang said, "I need to borrow an observatory!" ”
At this point, Danny couldn't hold back any longer, and he complained, "Observatory? Why do you need an observatory? ”
"Whether it is the Demon Blade Wudao, or the Book of Necrons, their power and recorded knowledge all need the cooperation of the stars, whether it is the Three Huan Twenty-Eight Constellations, or the ecliptic equatorial constellation system, those cruel rituals need the cooperation of the stars in the sky, so the star map also reveals the secret of the operation of the corresponding rituals."
Chen Ang smiled, but Danny felt that there was clearly sarcasm hidden in that smile.
