Chapter 24: The Ritual of Séance I
The next morning, I was suddenly awakened by a sensation.
The sky was hazy, and when I looked out the window, the wind was still very strong, as if it was a sign that there would be a sudden rainstorm at any time.
Hey? There seemed to be a shadow moving towards the forest behind the house, and looking at the back, it seemed to be the girl I met yesterday. Curiosity struck, I rolled over and got up, quickly dressed, and climbed out the window to follow the past.
I followed her closely, but not too closely.
The girl entered the forest, then burrowed into the path and made her way quickly, seemingly familiar with her surroundings. I didn't dare to be careless, and as I walked, I carved arrows at the roots of conspicuous trees so as not to get lost.
After walking for about half an hour, she disappeared more than ten meters in front of me!
Sky! It really doesn't make sense! Although the shrubs here are very mixed, they shouldn't disappear so suddenly, as if they were stealth!
I hurried forward a few steps, then suddenly stopped, and hurriedly flashed into the bushes next to me.
It's so dangerous, almost fooled! Of course, living people do not disappear out of thin air, and there is only one reason, and that is the height difference, there should be a slope at least two meters high, which is not only a good place to hide, but also a surprise test to see if there are any followers.
However, after several minutes, there was no movement in the distance.
"Looks like I'm thinking too much."
I scratched my head, grunted and walked over to take a look, and was stunned!
It is a large round pit with a diameter of more than 300 meters, and the pit is very smooth around it, and it is impossible to see whether it is artificially caused or naturally formed.
The most surprising thing is that there is a very large church in the middle of the pit, which is extremely old and strange, as if it had been caught by fire many years ago, and most of it has collapsed.
Why did the girl go to such a place alone that even a man feels a little chill when he sees it? Is it her secret base, or is there some religious reason?
I was about to open the dilapidated door of the church to investigate, when suddenly a hard object was pressed against my back, and then a cold voice rang out, "Why are you following me?" ”
“Annie! Ha, ha, I, I'm silent at night, you put the gun down first! I recognized her voice, stammering haha.
"Hee-hee! What! It turned out to be Xiao Ye, you've watched too many TV series, but I didn't expect a wooden stick to scare you like that, laughing to death! ”
Annie laughed and jumped away, but there was something unnatural on her pretty face, a little weird to be exact.
I laughed awkwardly a few times, and couldn't find the opening sentence for a while.
Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to speak: "Xiaoye, do you know what place this is?" ”
"It looks like an old church!" I looked around.
Annie sighed and said, "Have you ever heard of the Red Tragedy? ”
I nodded, "I saw it on TV news a few years ago. It seems to say that more than 1,000 Cobanese in the United States committed suicide by poisoning themselves in a church and burning it. Yes! By the way, it's on the red national highway, I passed by when I came, and the church has been renovated, and you can still visit! It is said to be a reminder to the American people not to forget the past! ”
"Well, that's pretty much." Annie nodded, "But do you know that the number of suicides in the Kobanese is far more than the 1,300 people revealed by the government, no, to be correct, it should be 5,730 people!" ”
"What!" I was stunned, but I suddenly stood up in shock, and I couldn't help but look at the church next to me again!
"Not bad!" Annie said gloomily: "This is the place where another government of the Kobanese sect committed suicide that has not been made public, and the remaining 4,430 people are buried!" ”
"You...... Well, why tell me this? I shivered, and I felt a chill down my spine.
Annie didn't answer, just looked at the ruins leisurely, and gently spat out these words: "It's so strong!" Spiritual pressure here. It can't afford any supernatural activity anymore......"
Night has fallen. At eleven o'clock, I waited at the back of the house.
"Shhhh Haruka, a little girl, was wearing a white dress that didn't fit well, and while complaining, she took my hand and said, "Okay, follow me." First of all, that part of the road is a little scary, don't cry! ”
"I'm not as timid as you!" I snorted and said casually, "I didn't expect you to buy such a conservative dress!" ”
"What! It's my sister's! She looked around and made sure she was going in a direction.
"Where are we going?" I asked, confused.
"It's a conjuring club! Don't you also want to know the real cause of your sister's death? I invited a few friends who know some tricks to recruit my sister's unjust soul back and ask! ”
"Ahh You don't even know the real reason?! "I was taken aback.
She looked at me deeply and shook her head bitterly.
“…… But does it work? I asked again.
"It's very spiritual in that place! Trust me, you can. As long as it's that place! ”
"Oh! Where is it so powerful?! ”
"A ruined church nearby! There is a séance ceremony and a hundred tests! ”
"What?!" I screamed, and my whole body stiffened.
The church was built one hundred and thirty-seven years ago, and there is no record in the library as to why it was built in such a remote place, except that it used to be the private land of a rich man, and the rich man died suddenly one day, and the townspeople of Onak Town built this strange church on the site of this rich man's mansion.
That's all I had to say about the church when I went to the town library after I was separated from Annie.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing suspicious, but when you think about it, you feel foggy, why did the church have to be built on a mansion? Could it be that there is something unclean there? Thinking about it, I vaguely felt that the death of the rich man had also become blurred.
For some reason, this church always gives me a sense of depression, as if something lives in its body and will burst out at any moment!
So, when I heard Haruka say that there was going to be a spiritualist meeting there, I couldn't help but scream.
Yaojia quickly covered my mouth and reproached in a low voice: "What are you doing! If you're scared, go back alone! ”
"No, of course I'm not afraid! Just ......"
"Shhhh There is only half an hour left! There's something to say when it's there. Let's go! She interrupted me and hurried forward.
It didn't take long for the oval-shaped crater to appear in front of our eyes.
It turned out that when she followed Annie in the morning, she deliberately took a long detour! Alas! That weird girl, I really don't know where she came from, seems to know a lot of things that no one knows......
For some reason, whenever I think of her, I always hate her teeth, and I have a kind of urgency to dig out everything she has!
"Jone, are you all here?" Haruka screamed softly.
When I came back to my senses, I heard a thud in the bushes on the left, and then a boy of fifteen or sixteen came out.
"It's all here, I'm waiting for you." Jone said, looked at me, laughed twice, and reached out in a friendly way: "I heard that Chinese men know kung fu, is this true?" ”
"Haha, yes, it is prescribed by law."
I smiled and shook his hand.
Yao Jiaxiao's waist bent down, and he scolded with a smile: "Jone, don't listen to this guy's nonsense, he can only do one thing, which is bragging." ”
The night was dark. There are no stars or moons on the black canopy, and against the backdrop of this all-engulfing darkness, the dilapidated church has a shocking sense of horror!
Pushing open the dilapidated doors of the church, a large main hall is revealed. The tables and chairs in the main hall have been removed, revealing a blank space of more than thirty square meters in the center.
There were more than 20 people busy, some drawing something on the ground, some hurriedly lighting candles around them.
What a dimly lit place! I rubbed my eyes and froze for a moment when I could see what was being drawn on the ground!
"Abculus Exorcism!" I pointed to something on the ground and exclaimed, "You guys can do this?!" ”
"Didn't I say that earlier?" Haruka pouted dissatisfiedly.
The boy not far from her looked at me in surprise, held out his hand to me, and said, "I'm Jame, the president of the Paranormal Club at Seattle Middle School. Haha, I didn't expect that a friend from the far east could actually call out the name of this special pentagram! ”
"What! Is this really the Ablaculus Exorcism? ”
I stared at this thing like a fool, and couldn't say anything for a moment.
The name Abculus originated from European mythology, he was originally an archangel of power and desire, but because of the expanding desire in his body, he betrayed the Lord, and wanted to take the Lord's place, but when this conspiracy was about to be carried out, it was discovered by the Lord, so he drew a figure with blood, opened the door from the heavenly realm to the demon world, and he successfully escaped to the demon world.
Later, this figure was called the Abculus Exorcism Array, and because it has the ability to open the three worlds of human and demon gods in legends, it was classified as a kind of pentagram!
"This is a magical magic array, as long as there is something that person has used in his life, and there is someone who is related to him by blood, he can summon his undead. It's fun, isn't it? Our Seattle Middle School Paranormal Club has been studying it for generations! Jame looked at the magic circle feverishly.
"No kidding! Do you know what this place is?! I shook off his hand and yelled.
Because of my own relationship, I have looked up many books on the supernatural, and of course I have heard about the properties of this magic array.
It is said that it can only be effective in places with high spiritual pressure, but it is taboo to use it in places where there are undead. It is rumored to cause the spirits of the undead to gather, bring bad luck and even put their lives in danger!
If Annie's words are true, then at least 4,431 people have died here!
What are the consequences of such a horrific number? With such a strong curiosity, I don't have the slightest desire to know!
"According to the records in the book, I can judge that the spiritual pressure here is very high, which is very suitable for the use of this kind of large magic array." Jame's eyes were full of obsession.
"I'm not referring to that, I'm asking if you know where this is? Its historical background? And whether or not anyone has ever died here! I yelled, and I looked a little out of shape!
Jame looked at me in bewilderment, and suddenly felt shocked.
"Ahh Do you mean that the reason why the spiritual pressure here is high is because there are unjust souls left?! He was stunned, then turned sharply and shouted, "Quickly put out the candles, and the magic map on the ground!" Fast! Wipe it off with your feet...... Worst! It's too late! ”
He looked at his watch, and at that moment, a strong burst of light shot out of the magic circle. The light is intense but not dazzling, misty as mist, but it is very cold.
Everyone was stunned.
Light filled the entire main hall, and it lingered towards everyone, as if searching for something. We stiffened in the light...... It felt like a century had passed, and the light of life seemed to decide something, and it shrouded Haruka together.
"Don't!"
She screamed in fright, but she couldn't move her whole body!
“Jame! This magic circle should have a spell to form a formation! Read it out! I snapped my eyes at Jame and exclaimed.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! Yes! I almost forgot! Jame frantically spat out a few ancient words: "Through the border between today and tomorrow, you will be born again." ”
The light shot from the Abuculus exorcism immediately disappeared abruptly, but everyone still stood in fear, their faces constantly dripping with cold sweat.
"It's over......" Haruka said with a sigh of relief.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have done it here!" Jame shook his head, sat down weakly, and suddenly screamed as if he remembered something, and bounced off the ground.
"Haha......" Jame said to us with a wry smile, "I wanted to tell you a bad news, hey, I seem to have mistaken the starting spell for the knot spell......"
The crowd was speechless, and there was silence.
"Quick! Bow down, everyone! I yelled and rushed towards Haruka.
With a bang, the light in the magic array gushed out like a volcanic eruption.
I just pressed Haruka under me, only to feel something behind me, and then my mind went blank......
