Chapter 106: The Investigator's Extra: The Second Night (Part I)

Dinner time was nine o'clock in the evening, and because of a falling out with Caroline and his wife, Nick had to go to the kitchen to make a sandwich or two, and Chen Ang and Chen Ang sat at the small dining table in the room to solve his own dinner.

The small dining table is not big, and the two of them sit at opposite ends, and put a mirror in the middle, and they occupy all the places!

Nick took a deep bite of the sandwich, took a bite of the pickled cucumber, and gulped it down.

"I won't ask you why you have to put a mirror on your side while we eat." Nick bit down on the sandwich and mumbled, "When are we going to see the excitement?" ”

"Ahh Chen Ang raised his head, a little dazed on his face.

Nick was speechless: "It was you who asked me to install the mirror, don't say you forgot." I've hidden mirrors in all sorts of places they would never expect, and it's going to be late at night. If there's something in the mirror, there's a lot of fun downstairs! ”

After Chen Ang finished eating, he wiped his hands on the napkin next to the table and said, "Don't worry...... In order to better understand what is inside the mirror, we might as well play a few games first! ”

Nick said, "What game? ”

"It's not popular in the U.S., but in Asia, our occult culture is popular and communicates with the dead...... It's not the communication of the psychic medium on your side, the American side trusts the professionals a little more, and in Asia, we usually invite a few friends to come and explore the secrets of the ghosts...... In this regard, we have an adventurous spirit, commonly known as - to die! ”

"This time, let's play a game that is particularly popular in East Asian culture!" Chen Ang took out a piece of paper and a pen and put them on the table.

"Pen Fairy!"

"Pen elves?" Nick repeated the English translation of 'pen fairy', completely unaware of what elves were terrible, in European and American cultural circles, elves refer to naughty creatures like Peter Pan.

"Necromantic Divination!" Chen Ang changed a translator.

"The rules are like this, generally speaking, there are some tedious rituals that need to be performed before this game is played, such as preparing tributes, calling the necromancers, and attaching to this pen, but because the necromancs we need to call this time are very active, these rituals are not necessary."

"Now, we write two words on the paper, yes and no, and after the divination is released, we will hold the pen together and ask the question, where the tip of the pen moves, is the answer given by the necromancy." Chen Ang wrote two words on the paper, then held the pen in one hand and placed the tip of the pen in the middle of the paper.

"That's right!" Chen Ang took a black cloth, covered his hand, and said, "I temporarily improved the game, during the game, our hand holding the pen will cover it under a black cloth." ”

"Wacky East Asian Divination Game!" Nick muttered.

But he still stretched out a hand and held the pen with Chen Ang, the atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, the two were silent for a moment, and Nick spoke: "Has that game of yours considered this situation?" ”

Chen Ang's face was a little strange: "This game is generally played by little girls in school, and the creator of the game doesn't seem to take into account the size of the black man's palm. You can pinch the barrel with two fingers! ”

After Chen Ang finished speaking, he changed to the lower end of the pen barrel with his index finger and middle finger bent and pinched, and Nick pinched the upper end with the side of his thumb and index finger, at this time, a cold, slender hand suddenly touched it and grabbed the middle end of the pen barrel, Chen Ang and Nick watched as the end of the black cloth close to the mirror began to bulge.

It's like the person in the mirror stretches out a hand and sticks it in.

"I think now we can start divination!" Nick cleared his throat and said, "I want to know, does the Holy Shield know where the fifth seal is?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the pen barrel did not move like a mountain, and the hand did not seem to have the slightest intention of moving the pen barrel.

But after a while, the nib began to move slowly, and Nick felt a force pull the nib to the position of -no.

Nick suddenly slapped his right hand hard, stood up, and said angrily, "It's you moving the tip of the pen, I see you're struggling!" This is a scam......"

Chen Ang also slapped the table, stood up as well, and said loudly: "Because you need to ask a question it knows, idiot!" ”

Nick was annoyed: "What I need is the answer to a question I don't know, if it can't even answer this, then it's a ghost divination, what do I want it for?" ”

"It's just a necromancy, don't ask it this question that the Supreme Mage can't see the answer to with the Time Stone! You're so awesome, why don't you ask the all-knowing and all-powerful God? Chen Ang said: "It only knows what happened in this house, don't embarrass others, okay?" ”

Nick sat down, continued to cover the black cloth, and asked, "Are you the one who was killed by the wizard?" ”

As soon as this sentence fell, the hand began to exert a slight force, and it pulled the tip of the pen in one direction, but Nick held the pen still, and the pen shaft seemed to be rooted, and it was pulled and stayed in place, and the hand pulled it twice, and found that it could not be moved, so he began to pull the pen shaft harder.

Now the strength it uses is far beyond the ordinary big man.

However, Nick has strength, a handful of infinite formula transformation brute force can not be pulled two tons, he pinched it to death, no matter how the hand pulled, the tip of the pen was towering and immovable.

Chen Ang couldn't stand it anymore, he looked up at Nick and said, "Are you in a tug-of-war?" ”

"Give me a little respect for the pen fairy...... It's crying! ”

Nick let go of his hand, and moved the tip of the pen to the yes position with that hand, and he replied sincerely, "I just wanted to test its power...... Although these necromancers have no physical body, they are so powerful that they are equivalent to a well-trained boxer. And it's a heavyweight boxer...... The kind of hunk man with a big man! ”

Chen Ang sighed helplessly, he took out a small box from his back, and took out a part of the armor with the engine from itβ€”the kind that Stark usually used to carry jet thrusters in the palm of his hand, and there were small gloves to compensate for the engine in all directions.

"Suit parts for Miss Potts!" Chen Ang explained to Nick, "I happened to have it with me, and I was going to take it to the Divine Spear for overhaul!" ”

Chen Ang put on his mecha gloves, pinched the pen shaft, and made an inviting gesture to Nick: "Come, go on!" ”

"Are the Carolines in this house the wizard who killed you?" Nick continued.

This time, under the threat of Chen Ang's mecha gloves, Nick did not pull the pen barrel again, but he began to use the electric shock bracelet produced by S.H.I.E.L.D., with high-voltage discharge, electric shock to that hand, the sound of chirping electricity on the barrel of the pen pulled by three hands, Ziz's dazzling current radiated from the tip of the pen - a Tesla electric circle reaction.

Chen Ang had to use a hedge current to electrocute Nick to the point of convulsions.

Seeing that the pen stayed in the yes position again, Nick, who began to have a burnt smell on his body, his hair stood up against his scalp, and he twitched from time to time, got up from under the table and said, "It's not afraid of electricity!" Likely not to respond to energy attacks. ”

Again, ask, "Those two wizards are the black servants who used to serve the bankers?" ”

Chen Ang wore the Edelman alloy gloves, watching the high-energy laser slash through his hand, the shell of the Edelman alloy vibranium alloy was sparkling, the black cloth had been cut by the laser, and Nick's five fingertips were carrying a small laser generator, and his right hand was holding the sunglasses hanging on the bridge of his nose.

"It won't be harmed by lasers either...... So why don't they come out during the day? ”

Nick's expression was a little solemn.

If that kind of thing is formless and insubstantial, will not be physically damaged (this has just been confirmed by Nick with a knife), will not be damaged by electricity, and is not afraid of lasers, then most of the technological means will not work against it, and that thing has a strength comparable to that of Hercules, can directly use physical means to interfere with reality, has a certain degree of intelligence, and if there are some special means, then it will be a difficult type of enemy.

"If scientifically...... Yes, daylight only means that the earth can receive the sun's rays, but from an occult point of view...... During the day, it's not that simple, and it has some special implications. Chen Ang said.

"The Three Elements of the Occult – Timing, Symbolism, and Ritual."

"Some witchcraft and magic in the will, symbols in the conceptual sense are important, they need metaphysical concepts that are subjectively formed on top of matter, are the products of human consciousness reflecting reality, are some informative elements, some ...... Conception! ”

"Yes, they can't come out during the day because most people are afraid of the dark, because when the human genes are transmitted, some of the fear of nocturnal predators is memorized in the genes, and those humans who are afraid of the dark survive, and the genes they carry for the fear of the dark are also passed down."

"So, people think that daytime is safe compared to night!"

"Light and fire give them a sense of security."

"So during the day, we have the concept of security, and human consciousness gives it the meaning of safety, so when we face something, it can protect us!"

"But there are a lot of images given to the concept of protection and security, and I just tried it with a cross, and it is not afraid of the cross at all......"

Chen Ang replied: "The 'spirit' formed by different cultural concepts has different ways of coping with it, as the saying goes...... If you believe, you will have, and if you don't believe, you will not. Voodoo religion uses red brick powder to defend against enemies, Catholicism believes that salt can ward off evil spirits, Japan believes in Jizo King Bodhisattva, and China uses cinnabar to restrain ghosts. ”

"The ghosts born of a culture can only be dealt with with concepts unique to that culture."

"Take the holy relics of foreign countries to drive away the evil of your own country. Take the sword of a foreigner and behead the officials of this dynasty. How can this be true? ”

"If you want to know why the ghosts here can't be expelled with Catholic relics, then ask how the wizards created these ghosts?"

Chen Ang turned his head and asked Bi Xian, "Do you want to take revenge?" ”

The pen that no one was holding stood upright on the paper, and under the manipulation of an invisible force, the tip of the pen slowly moved to 'yes'.

Chen Ang asked Nick to go first, grabbed the pen himself and went to the door, he turned his back to the room, took the pen and threw it back, and there was silence behind him.

Chen Ang smiled slightly and walked downstairs.

Nick was waiting for him in front, and when he heard Chen Ang's footsteps, he was held down by Chen Ang just as he wanted to turn back, and Chen Ang said in a low voice: "Don't look back!" Go ahead...... Meet our two archwizards. Gotta tell them...... Their best friends came to see them! ”
