Chapter Twenty-Nine: Enchantment
After a short time, the pendulum began to swing slightly from side to side.
Zheng Yuanli knew that this so-called enchantment should have been successful. This kind of enchantment ritual has the same principle as the spirit rune, but in a different way, the same is to go from yang to yin and back to yang, so as to present the result desired by the practitioner.
"Mr. Lancelot, pen and paper."
Luna said this to her brother. Lancelot was quick to say nothing, and immediately opened the door, went to the trunk and found a bag, from which came a brown leather book and a Parker pen. Back to the cab.
"Draw a Ouija Plate."
The so-called psychic disk, if it is simpler, is the same as the problem disk of the pen fairy or the dish fairy. You need answers, you need to ask for answers, these spiritual objects cannot tell you directly. They always have to tell you through some medium.
The simple way to do this is to draw various answers on the paper, such as time letters, whether or not, numbers, etc. However, because ordinary people themselves are born without understanding the principles of yin and yang, it is often easy to invite some spirits that they cannot control.
Even fortune tellers like Zheng Yuanli are reluctant to provoke the necromancers easily, one can imagine how terrible those so-called uncontrollable necromancers are. And this kind of enchantment is to extract the fragments of someone's soul.
So, it's very safe, this spell can't be beyond her control. Lancelot honestly negotiated the letters of ABCD all the way up to Z on the paper of the brown book. yes and no are also written, as well as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 0. It was handed to Luna
Luna took a look.
"Brother, aren't you very good at math, what about the 6 behind the 5."
Lancelot took the notebook back and took a look, even Zheng Yuanli could feel his embarrassment, so he could only watch silently as Lancelot silently added a 6 to the end of 0 and handed it to Luna.
The first question is, is the owner of this soul fragment far away from here now?
This distance is based on the subjective consciousness of the owner of this soul fragment.
The pendulum moved to no.
The second question is, how many kilometers is that?
The pendulum oscillates between 5 and 6 sharply, after all, because Lancelot made a mistake, which caused the two numbers to be far apart.
The third question is, is it 5 to 6 kilometers?
The pendulum stopped at yes.
The fourth question is, where?
The pendulum paused for a moment in each of the three letters of Bar.
The fifth question is, what is the name of the bar?
The pendulum G and H paused, respectively, and began to swing around.
"Can you be more detailed?"
Luna asked the pendulum.
"It doesn't seem to work, probably the owner of the soul is drunk. This time will appear in the bar, and with the fact that he also has a tendency to drug addiction, it is hard to imagine that he saw that he was not drunk. ”
Zheng Yuanli answered next to him.
"But there are only a handful of bars that start with GH within five or six kilometers, like gray hound. I dare say that half of the pubs in the UK have that name. ”
Lancelot guessed.
Luna put her finger to her chin and thought for a moment.
"I'll give my assistants a call and look it up to see what bars are called GH nearby. Also, I feel that we need support. ”
Zheng Yuanli knew that Luna was talking about the official police officers in London. She had always had the delusion that those police officers were her assistants. This is a girl who lives in her dreams.
She picked up the phone and naturally dialed a call.
"Hey, Lilith~ I'm looking for you Sheriff Howard, you said he was making a report to the commissioner, and his phone didn't stay with him, okay. I'll call the director. ”
Then, Luna made another call.
"Hey~ Uncle Andy. It's me, Luna. Ah, no, I'm not here to ask you for a Christmas present, I'm not a kid anymore. I'm looking for Sheriff Howard, I heard he's in your office. Yes? He's done his best, and I've actually found the lead to that case. Howard, he did his best, well, can I talk to him on the phone? ”
Zheng Yuanli listened from the sidelines, and could hear that it seemed that Luna really enjoyed a high reputation in the London police department, and seemed to know her from top to bottom. At least, the police station where she called was like this, and I don't know if London is also divided into police stations.
"Xiao Huo, it's me. Assign you the task to find out which bars in the Black Bird area are now starting with GH. Be fast, give you ten minutes. There is also the dispatch of police forces to assist in the investigation, and the grace is required. . . I think about it, or not. Come to 20 people? ”
Luna put her hand on her chin and thought for a moment. In fact, when it comes to thinking, it is completely patting the head and looking at the mood.
"Huh? There are not so many people, what are you doing with all the funds, have you used them all for vacation? There are 8.28 million people in London, and I only asked you for 20 police officers to protect the citizens, and you can't do it. How do you say we are going to trust you. ”
Zheng Yuanli listened from the sidelines, feeling as if there was no necessary logical connection between these two numbers.
"Alright, let's four of us, and in twenty minutes, meet at Black Bird. We're going to go to arrest the suspects. By the way, don't forget, this time the opponent is no ordinary thief. ”
Zheng Yuanli thought about it on the side, the action of arresting the suspect is not a war, not that the more people, the better. Television and film programs often involve a lot of police officers for the sake of pomp, but in reality, as long as it is not a large-scale riot/riot conflict. There is no need to use too many police officers, only a small number of elite personnel need to be mobilized to attack quickly. With lightning speed, it is enough to subdue the opponent before inflicting damage.
Ten minutes later, Luna's phone rang just in time. Sergeant Howard was very honest and fulfilled the task assigned to him by Luna, and sure enough, less than two kilometers away from the three of them, there was a bar that started with GH. The name is Gray Hound.
When Luna said the name of the bar, Lancelot said it as excitedly as England had scored a rare goal at the European Championship.
"I'll just say it!"
Luna was deeply unimpressed by her brother's childish behavior, and scoffed at her. set his eyes on Zheng Yuanli, who was looking at his watch seriously.
"Now the next step, I heard that the ancient Chinese magic method is to confirm that the person or thing you are looking for is not somewhere."
"Well, you can do it with Liuya. Can you, lend me three pounds? ”
"I'll think about it."
"Forget it, I'll look for it in myself."
Luna grabbed a coin from her pocket and handed it to Jung.
Zheng Yuanli looked for it himself, and it seemed that there was only one, and it was the pound of money confiscated by the homeless man when he went to buy Big Issue magazine before.
This pound of money has been kept by him until now.
Lancelot, quite consciously, began to rummage in his coat pocket, and finally found a pound sterling as well.
This is really, the hardest time for me to get three coins from three people. Zheng Yuanli couldn't help but think so.
He divided the coin twice to form two hexagrams.
The results are in.
