Chapter 53: Scholars

Li Ang patiently continued to turn over this post, according to the landlord's own report, there were many strange situations in the process of holding the spirit ceremony.

"When I was traveling to Cape Town, South Africa, I happened to walk into a remote antique shop.

"The antique shop is dimly lit, the air smells sweet and spicey, and the shelves on either side are lined with dazzling copper utensils, below are brightly painted wooden masks, and in the corners are vintage-shaped bone figurines."

"Just as I was about to touch the doll, I heard from the corner saying, 'This is a voodoo weapon used to curse others, you better not touch it.'"

"The person who spoke sat behind the counter, presumably the owner, and she was an extremely old black woman, very fat, so fat that she had to sit on a chair two people's width, with a plank in her hand."

"'Feel free to take a look, whatever you're going to buy.' She looked up from behind the plank, and that's when I realized she was blind. ”

"I wanted to leave, but I was too ashamed to admit that I was timid, so I wandered around the door of the store and accidentally caught a glimpse of a book on the shelf, according to the owner of the antique shop, a manuscript handed down from the Saxon dynasty (919~1024 AD), it had no cover, the paper was very yellow, and the corners were frayed, and it looked like it was some years old.

But from what I have learned about medieval literature, I can conclude that some of the grammar is derived from the early modern German language, rather than from the Old High German period of the composite age, which should be imitations of modern times.

And normal people with higher IQs than Forrest Gump know that if it was really a medieval book, then it couldn't have been placed on a shelf with a 'low price' brand. ”

"However, the first time I saw this book, I had a vague feeling... Uh, the power, or more accurately, the creepy horror, it was like peeking at me, cutting through the flesh and seeing my heart's desire to communicate with the departed..."

"I bought it, whether it was a fluke or a foolishness, and after a few days of study, I was interested in what it was described, and I wanted to go back to the antique shop to ask for some more details, but I was greeted by a thin black young man, who, according to him, had died the day after I had bought the book and left, and had gone away in his sleep without pain,"

"I returned to the United States after the trip, found a few reliable friends, and for the sake of narration, here I will refer to the three friends I was with A, B, C,"

"A recently lost a loved one, and like me, it was like seeing a loved one through a spirit calling, while B and C participated in it out of friendship and curiosity."

"According to the annotations on this ancient German book that does not even have a cover, we first went to the farm to buy a female black goat, led her to load it into the truck, B is the driver, and on the way he has been saying that this behavior is not good, if the police find out, I am afraid that he will be imprisoned for holding illegal religious ceremonies, and C sarcastically wants him to escape."

"It was a gloomy evening, the cumulus clouds were heavy, and we drove all the way to the long-abandoned abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city – it was so remote that even the homeless people didn't come here, but fortunately there was still a mobile phone signal."

"The book says that the ritual should be held to draw a circle, how do you describe it? Unlike the circles I've found on the Internet and in occult books, the things depicted here are even more bizarre, difficult to describe in the right language, and if I have to describe them, they should be countless non-Euclidean planes overlapping each other to form an extremely complex formation. ”

"Fortunately, B has a talent for painting, and originally thought that the magic circle would be painted several times, but he actually completed it in one go, using white chalk to turn the magic circle with a diameter of three meters into the ground of the abandoned factory."

"The goat was very docile, and when I led it to eat some grass on the lawn outside, and when I pulled it into the abandoned factory, it licked my palm, as if to thank me for bringing it out of the farm."

"I let it stand inside the circle, and A carefully held the hemp rope to prevent it from stepping on the circle"

"Next came the main event, the slaughter of the goat, although I went to the slaughterhouse in the countryside to overcome my fear, and killed one with my own airsoft gun, but the touch of the weather is not at all comparable to that of a bronze dagger."

In many areas, the slaughter of livestock has not been hammered or cut, but with a high-pressure air gun connected to the air tank pressed on the head of the livestock, gentlemanly press the trigger, the compressed gas is sprayed out, and the skull below is destroyed in an instant, the livestock loses consciousness before it has time to feel pain, efficient and fast, and does not make a mess of blood, all around,

"I held the dagger, and the blade was attached to the goat's neck, and it seemed to sense something and stamped its foot uneasily."

Seeing that I hesitated, A gently took the dagger and asked me to stand outside the circle. He gently slit the goat's throat, blood gushing and splashing onto the Ouija board......"

What followed was a large blank space, with only a few blurry images, roughly the surrounding extinguished candles and the chalk imprints scattered by the wind.

“.... As we chanted the incantation, a strong wind blew in the empty factory hall, the candles went out, and C struggled to leave, but A held his hand tightly. ”

"The ritual must not be interrupted, absolutely not."

"The wind blew the remnants of the goat's fur, the rain hit the dusty glass windows of the factory, the sound of kicking and tapping footsteps came from far and near, some, something, stood around us,

It was pitch black on all sides, cold breathing over my shoulder, I shivered with fear, and the chanting of the incantation became softer, but A, who was standing next to me, almost shouted, the incantation was deafening, and his face was so full of determination that I could barely recognize him. ”

"Suddenly, the wind in the factory stopped for no apparent reason, and I faintly heard the voice of the deceased relative, and A apparently heard it, calling the name of his young brother who died of leukemia."

"But soon, the Ouija board began to tremble, and soon it cracked, and I got what I wanted, but A didn't, and he looked at the broken Ouija board thoughtfully, and whispered to me that he wanted to borrow the German book."

"In spite of my best objections, he succeeded, he stole the book, and when I came to his house and I noticed it, A had already performed a ritual alone in the garage and passed out, the hospital doctor could not help, A has not woken up yet, we have found the occultist from England, and we hope he can help."

At this point, the post was interrupted, and Leon noticed that the last post date was just last night.

"An occultist from England?" Li Ang raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself, "Maybe I can get a glimpse of his current extraordinary power through him." ”
