Back at that church, it was already the afternoon of the day.

It was raining lightly, but the wind was so fierce that it killed people. Except for the dead Davy, the remaining twenty-six members of the Paranormal Society of Haruka and Seattle Middle School, as well as me, gathered in the dilapidated cathedral.

Jame silently examined the contents of the cathedral, and in the blink of an eye his face became dead, and a cold sweat that was out of season continued to break out on his forehead.

"By all indications...... We did do that ritual. It was a long time before he muttered.

"No way, we'll be home before twelve!" One member said.

Jame didn't bother to answer, so he picked up a half-used candle and threw it to him.

"We arrived at eleven o'clock, and then we lit the candles, and this thing doesn't prove anything!" The member said stubbornly.

Jame snorted and said, "Mark, please use your brain and calculate how long that candle burns!" ”

"Jame is right. Ordinary candles can only burn for an hour and a half, but the candles of our club are specially made and can burn for at least three hours or more. Look at how long it ...... now," Jone took a breath and explained, "At least it burned for nearly two hours. In our memory, we stayed here for less than an hour and then went back, right, but why did the candle burn for two hours? The only explanation is that we stayed here until a little closer, and that the memories of twelve o'clock in our minds were distorted by something! ”

"How...... How so?! ”

In the face of the facts, Mark and the rest of the club shivered in unison.

"The most important thing now is to find out the true cause of Davy's death as soon as possible. For example, what was abnormal about him yesterday, or did he behave in any special way during the séance ceremony at night! I said without saying a word.

"You...... You're saying that Davy didn't die of a sudden myocardial infarction?! "Those supernatural society members who have not experienced the wind and rain are shocked.

Jame was about to speak, but I pinched him from behind, shook his head before he could speak, and said, "Of course we have to believe the coroner's words, but it is not ruled out that it may have died from other special causes, so we have to investigate." ”

I am well aware that the guts of this rabble, organized only by interest, if provoked too much, will inevitably lead to a situation in which they will be scattered, and that no one will be allowed to withdraw at this time when they are most needed.

"Don't ...... No kidding! If Davy hadn't died of a myocardial infarction, it might have been something unknown to humanity! How could we possibly go against that kind of monster! ”

Unexpectedly, the words I tried to be euphemistic were still beyond the psychological capacity of these members, and they all shouted to quit the club and walked towards the exit, regardless of Jame and Jone's bitter explanations.

"Hey, you can persuade too! Woe comes out of your mouth! Yaojia pushed me and said dissatisfied.

I smiled faintly and deliberately said in a loud voice, "It's okay, let them go." In a week's time, we might all be dead! Hehe, maybe I'll be happier if I don't know! ”

Suddenly, both those who were blocking and those who were rushing out stopped their actions at the same time as my words fell.

"You...... What do you mean by what you just said? One member asked in a deep voice.

I just smiled and didn't answer.

Of course, this is not to appease them, I just said that sentence casually, and now I have to desperately find some excuse to convince them.

"Say! Say it! Why the hell?! ”

The crowd rushed up, looking anxious, and even Jame and Jone leaned over curiously to see why I said that.

"Don't be in a hurry, sit down first, let me ask you a few questions, and then you can think about the connection. This is important! I said slowly, thinking in my heart that since the hidden method would not be effective, I would simply exaggerate the matter, "First, some of you ...... Even once, did you hear Davy say that he had a bad heart and so on? Second, the séance was clearly successful, but what did we summon? Third, why did Davy die the day after the séance, was it just a coincidence? Fourth, if it happens that it is not a coincidence, then ......"

As I was talking, a sudden spiritual light crossed my mind, it was a sudden conclusion, this terrible conclusion, I couldn't help but shudder.

By the way, if Davy's death is not a coincidence, and he didn't do anything different from us, but just that thing's revenge for last night, it's just that he was the first to be the target of anger, then each of us has the possibility of dying......

I tried to say this astonishing conclusion as calmly as possible, and the silence suddenly became all around, even Haruka, who was the most noisy, may not have spoken for a long time.

"So I think we have to rely on all the strength, connections, and energy we have now to investigate whether Davy's death was accidental." I paused and said, "Otherwise, I will have to sleep and eat every day, which is really more painful than death." Right, at least I would! ”

“……”

In this way, under the guidance and impressing of my patient and slightly threatening words, all the members who were sluggish and not sluggish understood that this was a major matter of life and death.

So, on the premise that we have common interests, we came to an agreement

Everyone worked together to find out what was summoned that night as quickly as possible, by any means, and to get it back as soon as possible.

"Haha, Xiaoye, you really can do it! It's funny to play with them in the palm of your hand in just a few words! Haruka looked at Jame and Jone beside him with a smile, and said to me in Chinese: "It seems that I can't underestimate you in the future!" ”

"I'm just stating the facts. And they weren't impressed by me, they were just afraid of their lives. I said lightly, my eyes constantly looking around.

This is the old school building of Seattle Middle School, and I was invited by Jame and others to discuss the suspicions.

Judging from the cleanliness of the ground in the building, there are still quite a lot of people coming and going here, and it seems that the school club that uses this as a club base is not the only one. However, the Psychic Society occupies an entire floor on the third floor.

"This is the collection room and my office. Generally, no one other than members of the club is allowed to enter, but of course you are an exception! Jame said as he pushed open a door, and I followed absentmindedly, startled by what I saw, and stunned like a fool.

In that room of more than 100 square meters, almost every inch of the place was densely pasted with things related to the magic array. I made a rough calculation, there are at least ninety of the one hundred and seventy-three pentagram demon descending arrays here, and sixteen of them are still the forbidden arrays that collectors dream of.

"Hehe, I'm scared. Anyone who knows a little bit about Pentagram will do this when they come here, and your expression is pretty good right now. Jame said proudly.

"What a treasure!" I amazed, slowly circling around the room as I admired the rare array of magic arrays, spells, and their historical data, before finally stopping at a broken door.

"What's over here?" I asked curiously.

"Vision! There is a collection of items collected by generations of members in places with particularly high spiritual pressure. Want to go inside and have a look? Jone replied.

"Well, if it's convenient." I'm very interested.

Jame smiled, took out a key from the drawer and opened the door, revealing a large room full of glass chests of drawers more than two meters high.

This room is more like a small library, except that instead of books, the shelves are filled with worn-out items, and the time and number of the collection are posted on the glass window in front of the items.

I looked at it a few times, and I couldn't help but reveal a disappointed expression.

To tell the truth, these treasured and collected things may have value, but their value is far less than that of the previous room. They're so ordinary, so common that you can see them everywhere.

For example, in the third drawer, it turned out to be a pebble the size of a fist; And in the ninth, it was a rusty iron nail!
