Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Witch's Hammer
The darkest and most terrifying of all the dark sorcery is necromancy, a method of communicating with the world of the dead, a Greek word meaning death and supernatural powers.
"Necromancy" is divided into two factions, one is called "necromancy", which mainly achieves a certain purpose by summoning and dominating ghosts, and they usually use spells, pentagrams, and items with messages about the dead as the necessary medium of channeling, which is relatively common in society.
The other faction is called the "Dead Corpse Faction", they claim to have mastered the method of "soul return" of dead corpses, and obtain the terrifying black magic power they need through exhumation and tomb robbing. There is a lot of information that shows that those who communicate with the spirits of the dead are motivated by their own interests. For example, knowing the specific location of a treasure through the undead or getting a very important piece of information is very similar to how a mosquito knows the cheats of a game through the undead.
Therefore, after knowing this information, Yuan was very worried about the safety of the blood-sucking mosquitoes, and she insisted on going to the appointment, just to see with her own eyes whether the soul-chasing party held by the mosquitoes was carrying out those evil "necromancy". If so, she said that she must find a way to save the blood-sucking mosquitoes, so that everyone will not get acquainted with each other in vain.
After listening to her words, I fell into deep thought, if the cause of death of the students of the fog university medical center was mosquitoes and they provoked black witchcraft, then what was their real purpose? Why do you have to choose a particular group of students from a medical center? Why did you choose Shangguan Yun'er's undead? What's so special about her?
"Xiaolou, are you done talking? It's almost ten o'clock, your friend should be tired, I bought her some food for supper. These snacks are famous in the fog, so pack a little for you and take back to the hotel to try it. ”
Lin Suo's magnetic voice interrupted my conversation with Yuan, looking at him standing beside us with a big bag of food, I felt inexplicably warm in my heart, he is really a man with a very delicate mind.
"Xiaolou, you are so happy, my husband is too good, these things are for me? I'm really sorry to let you break the bank, I'm really hungry, then it's disrespectful! Yuan smiled and took Lin Suo's plastic bag, and his emotions changed the moment he saw Lin Shuai.
"Xiaolou, let's go back then. Tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon, at the gate of the old campus of Wuda University, we will see you there! You're going to go with me, aren't you? ”
"Yes, yes, don't worry, see you tomorrow!"
When we walked out of the Yuxi Restaurant, Yuan didn't let us take her back to the hotel, so Lin Suo called a taxi for her. She waved at us, got into the taxi behind her, and drove to the hotel, while we also turned around and walked in the direction of home at the suggestion of a walk in the woods.
"Thank you Lin, I didn't expect you to be so careful and buy things for my friends." I spoke gratefully.
"It's so polite, it's the first time she came to Wudu, and I have done my best on behalf of the thirteen landlords, and I can be regarded as thanking her for telling us the information about vampire mosquitoes. However, you have changed a lot from what she said about you! Lin replied with a smile, and his voice sounded very warm. The night breeze blows softly on your body, and the street lamps stretch each other's shadows for a long time.
"Lin Suo, many people think I'm too ordinary, why did you recruit me into the thirteenth institute? Because of Lin Hua? ”
"No one is glamorous when they first appear, Uncle Qi is not, Tang Ming is not, Ruoyan is not, and you are not, this is not surprising. However, compared to other people's comments, I believe in Lin Hua's vision more, and I believe in my own vision more, I will not look at the wrong person. Your ability, experience, and personality are very suitable for working as an information collector in a university, and this kind of affinity that can be integrated with many students and teachers is something that many people do not have, and you also have to believe in yourself. Today, I heard the source talk about you in the past, and I also want to know, do you like your current self? ”
Lin Suo's words, let me not know how to answer, should I ask myself a question, do you like everything now? I experienced too many things at the beginning, and I chose a plain and ordinary life that was not noticed, but what was the result? will still be criticized and blamed by others. The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, some things may be fate, and fear and worry cannot be avoided. I didn't speak or answer Lin Suo's question, and he didn't ask anything more, just walked quietly with him.
"Lin Suo, do you think the blood-sucking mosquito will be a new dream witch? Did he really come into contact with the dark forces? ”
Compared with other people's comments and attention, the most urgent thing at the moment is not whether I am qualified to become a member of the thirteen institutes, but to find out the real culprit behind the scenes as soon as possible and prevent the students of Wuda Medical Center from having another accident. Knowing this, he told Lin the original thing about the mosquito.
"When we tracked down Shangguan Yun'er, we found that she had climbed over the wall on a foreign website, registered as a member of a black witchcraft association, and ordered a large number of black witchcraft things. When I heard the mosquito's statement today, I suddenly had an idea, was Shangguan Yun'er's indifference and unsociability back then to learn witchcraft? Did her best friend know something and deliberately set it on fire? Lin said with a slight frown.
"Lin Suo, have you heard of the book 'Hammer of the Witches'?" I say
"Oh? What kind of book is it about? I haven't heard of it! He replied.
Published in Germany in 1487 by the Catholic monks and Inquisitors Krama and Sblenger, the book was claimed to be a treasure trove of knowledge of witchcraft and witchcraft, and until the 17th century it was a basic manual for witch hunting. It teaches witch hunters and judges how to recognize witchcraft, how to test witches, and how to torture witches. This book exacerbated the prejudice and persecution of witches at the time, and eventually led to the famous witch hunting frenzy in European history in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In this book, it is said that shrine maidens like cats, but they will make other small animals around them die, they will make the surrounding plants and flowers die, and they will also make the innocent people around them sick, and the most well-known way to eliminate them is to burn them at the stake. Moreover, for the sake of evil purposes, witches will collude with the devil through gatherings and associations, and finally achieve the goal of harming all good people. Lin Suo, do you think there is any similarity between all this and what happened to Shangguan Yun'er and the blood-sucking mosquitoes? I continued.
"Yes, but I believe that if there is a demon in this world, it must be a person behind it. The clues you mentioned are very important, and I will immediately ask them to investigate Shangguan Yun'er from these aspects of daily life, including her two girlfriends who have lost their whereabouts and her ex-boyfriend. Xiaolou, you and Uncle Qi have a good chat another day, I think you will hit it off at first sight. Tomorrow's offline event, we have to cheer up the spirit of 120,000 points, and there may be many unexpected situations. Lin Suo looked directly at himself, and said with a firm and courageous look in his eyes.
"Well, Lin Suo, I remember!"
