Chapter 41: God and the Devil

Chen Ang looked at the flustered eyes of the voodoo wizard, the room was very gloomy, traces of voodoo witchcraft could be seen everywhere, the withered and rotten remains of eagles, snakes and lizards, the corpses of animals, human bones, the monkey heads, antelope skulls, and bracelets made of elephant tails used to cast spells hung on the walls, and all kinds of bottles and jars were placed on the table.

Chen Ang walked past the table and saw sun-dried chameleons, women's fingers with long nails, vulture heads, bundles of antelope horns and tusks tied up, brightly colored local textiles, and bundles of dead man's hair.

Chen Ang walked to a shelf where blood sacrifice utensils were kept, with necklaces made of beast teeth, ashes and other colored powders to coat the body, ornate priestly costumes and decorative witchcraft, and small hammers of various sizes to break skulls, sledgehammers to smash bones, daggers to cut open chests, large knives to decapitate, and spears to assassinate sacrifices.

Chen Ang took off his spear and carried it twice in his hand, and the wizard over there was sobbing and begging in a low voice, "Let me go!" I don't know anything! ”

Chen Ang suddenly turned around, and the spear in his hand shot out, piercing his chest.

Strange, who was guarding the wizard, was startled and said in horror, "You killed him? Why kill him! We haven't asked yet! Are you crazy? ”

Chen Ang stepped forward, stepped on the spear with one foot, and pushed the spear that passed through his chest again, most of the spear body passed through his chest, and fell to the ground, forming a bracket to support him, and the wizard hanging on the spear was bleeding through seven holes, and died a miserable death, Strange was at a loss, and he didn't know what Chen Ang was doing.

"No matter how much we torture him, he won't say anything!" Chen Ang said calmly: "After all, we can't hurt him. ”

The wizard on the spear remained motionless, his limbs twisted and dead.

Chen Ang reached out and grabbed a handful of butterfly scale powder from the jar on the table and sprinkled it on his corpse, then he opened five or six boxes of sorcery materials, and grabbed a lot of powders of various colors, lime, clay, red clay, dark red powder made of blood mixed with spices, and even a small gold dust.

Chen Ang looked at the gold and silver powder in his hand, and tasted interesting: "It seems that you have been in Egypt for so long, you are not wasting time in vain, gold, silver and gemstones symbolize the gods of ancient Egypt, and they are also the origin of European alchemy, gold is the sun, man, the power of life, silver is the moon, women, the power of the spirit, this is the magic system of ancient Egypt." ”

"It's just right for me!" Chen Ang used the powder to dipped the blood of the wizard and painted all kinds of mysterious symbols and geometric patterns around it.

Strange looked at him solemnly and said, "Do you want to summon his soul back to torture?" ”

"No!" Chen Ang quickly finished drawing these rune symbols, stood up, looked at the corpse and said, "Do you know the meaning of the word voodoo? ”

The word comes from Benin, one of the most backward countries in Africa, and the origin of voodoo, which was created in the eighteenth century by the Voodoo Empress Lavieu, but Benin is the cradle of voodoo, which originated from the ancient beliefs of the local indigenous people. In the local language, vododo means "god", "spirit" and "spirit". ”

"Few people know that the ancient origin of voodoo, even before humans went out of Africa, it was passed down from generation to generation in an ancient tribe, long before the Egyptians built the pyramids and developed their own sacrificial culture, the predecessor of voodoo, spread on the land of Africa."

"Legend has it that its source is one of the five tribes on the African continent that hold the secret of human origins."

"The name of that ancient tribe is no longer verifiable! But the 'god' they worshipped, or rather, feared, spread, and voodoo depicts the nature of that 'god' and the inheritance of its power. In the voodoo worldview, everything has a spirit, and spirituality comes from the outflow of an indescribable 'god'. ”

"The spirit flows out of the source of God and returns to the body of God with death."

"They worship the soul, they study the soul, they try to harness the power of magic, they reject the process of return, they reject death! Why do you think you can control the soul of a voodoo wizard? They have spent their lives struggling to escape from that curse, from that being's gaze, killing animatic animals, using those spiritual materials to create stand-ins, in a vain attempt to confuse that being, to take the place of their own death. ”

Chen Ang looked at the spear under his feet and said with a smile: "The spear can't kill them!" ”

The corpse hanging on the spear suddenly raised its head, an extremely distorted expression appeared on his bloody face, and he said in a strange voice with a leaky air from his broken lungs: "Since you know that the sword can't kill us, why do you dare to come to the door?" ”

Chen Ang kicked him heavily on the body, kicked him into the air, and then lifted his spear to nail him to the wall and hung it, sneering: "What if you can't be killed?" Not a scumbag yet? There are more people who can't be killed...... Ever heard of subhumans? They want to die, do you want to be wrapped in a hundred tons of cement and sink into the Maradona Trench? Scum! ”

The wizard on the wall, in front of Chen Ang's wild domineering, still revealed his essence, seeing that he had not received fatal damage before but still chose to pretend to be dead, instead of fighting back, he knew that this thing regarded immortality as his hole card, and his original form was revealed when he was scared!

He hurriedly begged for mercy: "If you have something to say, strong man, you can ask whatever you want." It's not like we voodoo shamans haven't been cleaned up in this way, they cut off our heads, or burned our bodies to ashes with fire...... But these methods have long been cracked by our wizards! You can't kill me...... But that man can kill me. ”

"He can destroy my soul...... I dare not offend him. ”

The wizard pleaded, "Otherwise, I'll give you some clues." You won't offend him too much, you can find it out for yourself. ”

Chen Ang glanced at him, he couldn't stand the rancid smell in this room, so he asked Strange to open the door, Strange simply stood at the door, Chen Ang turned his back to him, facing the voodoo wizard nailed to the wall, and said leisurely: "Playing with the soul? Is it the devil or the devil? Satan...... Or Lucifer? Mephitos? Barr? Berial? Amon? ”

"It shouldn't be Satan...... Chen Ang said, "It seems that Satan has carried a black cauldron for you!" I hope he won't be too miserable by the investigation team of the Human Revolutionary Union......"

"Which Devil or Demon Lord became Thanos' ally?" Chen Ang played with the lighter in his hand.

The wizard hanging on the wall showed a flattering smile and said, "The monster I summoned should be headed for Wakanda!" They also came to me because I had sneaked into Wakanda. ”

Strange said solemnly, "Why did you sneak into Wakanda, and why did you sneak there?" ”

The wizard showed a greedy smile: "Of course it's for vibranium, but if not, who would go to that backcountry......"

Chen Ang sneered mockingly.

The voodoo wizard shuddered and said cautiously: "Wakanda seems to have a mysterious connection with voodoo, and voodoo people sometimes go there to exchange something. Provide them with intelligence...... Once, the people of Wakanda approached the voodoo cult and asked us to provide us with some clues about the slave capture team that was taking slaves, so I took the opportunity to sneak in, but unfortunately I was caught before I could find vibranium! ”

Chen Ang added with a calm face, "Wakanda is one of the other four ancient tribes that hold the secret of human origins, and it is normal for them to have ties to voodoo! ”

"I think he knows who is working with Thanos!" Strange tilted his head to look at the wizard and said, "How can we get what we want from him?" ”

"I can see it now! His soul is not in his body...... His flesh is just a puppet! ”

"Didn't you notice what was missing from him?" Chen Ang gestured: "His voodoo doll is not on his body, in fact, his soul was hidden in the doll by him, and then his body was refined into a soul corpse, even if he is fatally injured, even if we cut off his head!" He won't hurt either. ”

Chen Ang grabbed the tail of the spear and shook it down hard, the spear trembling in the wizard's chest, rubbing against the ribs and making a clicking sound.

"Then why is he so afraid that you will destroy his body?" Strange wondered.

"He hid the voodoo doll too well! I'm afraid that someone won't find out! Chen Ang said disdainfully: "After the soul is attached to the voodoo doll, he loses the ability to move, and he relies on controlling the action of the soul corpse. If we destroy the resurrected corpse, he will be imprisoned in a doll and wait for someone to find him. ”

"Only when someone rediscovers him can he manipulate others to perform all kinds of evil spell rituals, seize new bodies, or refine new corpses, so in Benin and Haiti, the locals often fear the old voodoo dolls hidden in the middle of nowhere, believing that they are cursed by sorcerers."

Unable to erase this fear and the long-held experience, the local shamans threatened them that they were cursed when they found voodoo dolls. This curse can only be exorcised by luring others to take it. Curious tourists often suffer from this...... I investigated a case in which a tourist's family was murdered out of curiosity who bought this voodoo doll attached to the soul of a wizard as a souvenir for their tour. ”

"So......" Chen Ang concluded, "every wizard is troubled, how to hide his voodoo doll, hide it too obviously, it will be destroyed by the enemy." It's too hidden, and if no one finds out for thousands of years, it's over! Chen Ang looked at the wizard hanging on the wall with a smile: "This belongs to the one that is too hidden!" ”

"So he's afraid that we'll destroy his body, but he's keeping the bottom line. Because if he betrays that person, even the soul will not survive, right? Strange sighed, "Looks like we can't get anything more!" Let him explain a little more, and change his body back! ”

When the wizard heard this, there was excitement in his eyes.

Chen Ang sneered and dispelled his elation: "It's cruel and ruthless than the means, I'm sorry...... I haven't lost yet. He was afraid of the man who persecuted him, but he should be afraid of me even more! Chen Ang's voice came coldly from the darkness, and his face was hidden in the faint, extremely gloomy.

Chen Ang leaned in front of the voodoo wizard and whispered, "It seems that you can't feel the real fear yet, so you will put the fear of that person above me......"

The wizard was scared to pee.

It's scary enough, but there are few humans who are more terrible than you, what are you doing with the devil as a human being? Are you proud to win?

He screamed frantically, "What are you going to do? If you destroy my body, I won't tell you anything! ”

Chen Ang threw the heads of crocodiles, eagles, wild dogs, goats, and orangutans at his feet, took the corpse oil, mixed it with high alcohol, slowly fell from his head, and drew an intricate magic circle with blood on the wall behind him. The wizard's soul frantically sounded the alarm, and he burst into tears of fear, and pleaded, "Please, I really can't say his name." Say it, and his soul will be taken from me......"

"I signed a contract!" He finally wailed, "Please, I have signed a contract...... Don't ruin my soul. Are you going to use Hellfire? ”

Chen Ang's face relaxed: "It's the devil!" It's good that we know something more. ”

"And we know why that being would let him go! Out of the nature of the devil, he wants nothing from our actions, but instead allows it to harvest a superior soul. Strange added.

"You're too cowardly!" Chen Ang said in the wizard's ear: "Seeing that you chose the Soul Voodoo Doll, I know that you are a coward, a voodoo wizard who is truly not afraid of life and death, can only refine the stand-in doll, and then transfer the damage he has suffered to the stand-in, that kind of wizard dares to pick up a knife and fight with people at will!" ”

"You coward who only thinks about fake death, no wonder that being thinks it can take your soul!"

Chen Ang paused, then continued to pour alcohol on his head...... The wizard struggled frantically, he tried to pull out the spear from his chest, but Chen Ang quickly nailed his palms with two sacrificial daggers, and then pinned his feet with a short sword, and the wizard collapsed against the wall like a Jesus.

Strange frowned, "Why did you put him like this and want to attract the chase of the church?" This is the image of the crucifixion of the Son Jesus...... He doesn't deserve this yet! ”

"I don't have that bastard!" Chen Ang said indifferently: "There is nothing unworthy, the person I personally nailed up, he deserves this glory!" ”

The wizard on the wall did not feel the supreme glory, he only felt the deep fear of death.

Chen Ang lit the lighter and threw it at him, and the fire burned from the body of the 'Son of Suffering', and in the dark blue flames, Chen Ang recited the incantation: "The wings of an eagle, the fins of a crocodile, the smell of a wild dog, the hand and wisdom of an orangutan, the sacrifice of the goat, the unspeakable, guide them to what I seek......

Strange couldn't bear to watch it, and turned his head to avoid looking directly at the wizard's earth-shattering screams and struggles, but the fire was extinguished after three seconds!

After a while, the wizard also stopped screaming and said excitedly, "I'm fine...... Ha ha! I'm fine! ”

Strange turned his head and noticed the missing skulls in the center of the circle beneath his feet, and what didn't belong thereβ€”a rudimentary doll carved from bones taken out of his body, carved with witch charms.

Strange glanced sympathetically at the happy voodoo wizard there, and there was a rare moment of silence for him for three seconds.

A few minutes later, the Voodoo wizard with a dead face said everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

His contract was replaced by Chen Ang with a fresh dead man's soul, Strange saw the soul in the void behind him that was taken away by an inexplicable force, and finally thought solemnly, what kind of strength is Chen Ang, what kind of wizard is it, and how far does magic have to be learned to tamper with the devil's contract?

Strange couldn't think of it...... He had a genuine fear.

I always feel that the Mephitos who is playing tricks behind the scenes doesn't seem to be as scary as this person.
