Chapter 12: Necromancy
Zheng Yuanli deliberately waited at the turn of the staircase of the overpass for the one-armed necromancer who stumbled over.
"You, Chinese."
Zheng Yuanli felt that it was perfect to talk to this necromancer, for the simple reason that their fate had existed since the necromancer's lifetime. Although, the necromancer's voice sounded as harsh and sharp as glass friction between the psionic senses.
Zheng Yuanli nodded and did not speak to him.
The necromancer realized that the Chinese man in front of him was the first person in these days to hear him.
Except for this man, the necromancers in this passage are obsessed with their own thoughts, and the living can't see him at all.
Seeing the first person who could ever see him, the one-armed necromancer was like grasping at a life-saving straw.
"I want to go home and help... I. ”
Zheng Yuanli nodded again.
"These days... I can't get out of this passage anyway. Please help me. ”
In fact, the reason is very simple, this necromancer has nothing to rely on, and he died in vain, and part of the corpse was blown into flesh and scattered in this space. So, naturally, he couldn't do without this closed overpass.
Zheng Yuanli smeared his blood on his lips and recited a few words in a low voice before he opened his mouth.
Ordinary people speak with the vibration of sound waves, which enter the ears. However, the necromancer does not have physical ears, only spiritual sense, and Zheng Yuanli's Tianyantong only opens the spiritual sense to be able to see the necromancer, which does not mean that he can communicate with it.
"You can't get out because you feel wronged and unjust, and it's difficult to go to the world, I can help you get rid of it."
"You're... Priests? ”
"No, I guess part of the reason you can't get out is because you don't want the murderer to get away with it."
The Necronomicon hung its head.
"You must have noticed someone, something special, these days. You can tell at a glance that he is inextricably linked to you. ”
"Well, I see... Over two Irishmen. It's like... You Chinese can easily distinguish between Chinese and... The difference between Koreans, I can also... It's easy to tell the Irish from the crowd... and the English. Those two Irishmen came here, and I saw... They knew they were inextricably linked to my death. I'll tell you the truth, since I lost... My arm, I always felt as if I had a strong intuition, I seemed to be able to hear everyone's thoughts... All you think... The ardent anticipation. At that time, I saw people coming and going, each pausing and praying for God and salvation. I only heard the words independence and autonomy from their hearts. ”
The words of the necromancy were harsh and intermittent.
"Can you describe what they look like?"
"Both are men, both in their thirties. One has a goatee and a beer belly and is bald, and the other is tall and thin with tattoos. I guess they must be filthy and vile Irish riffraff who came to the capital simply to cause trouble. Those two lowly Irish people are inseparable from my death. ”
As he said this, the Necronomicon suddenly became agitated, and his words stopped stopping.
Zheng Yuanli thought to himself that such an image was rather punk, not so much a terrorist for expressing some political purpose, but more like a death rock musician.
Zheng Yuanli did not doubt that the necromancer could hear the fervent prayer of the murderer in front of him, which was normal. Compared to the relationship between Zheng Yuanli who just gave a Chinese knot and was rejected by this necromancer, the person who killed him and his fate are more profound. Even if they don't know each other, this fate is also in the dark, tied to each other, as part of the yin in yin and yang.
"What else?"
"They don't seem to have anything else. How, can you conclude that these Irish brutes are the murderers who killed me? ”
"Quite possibly. But I will investigate in greater detail, and the culprits will soon be brought to justice. ”
"Chinese, you take me with you, you must have a way to take me out of this ghost place." I can't afford to stay here any longer
Zheng Yuanli did not answer, and there was a silence between the two for a while.
"If you can, can you help me with something?"
Zheng Yuanli looked up at the necromancer and asked him to continue. Of course, this does not mean that Zheng Yuanli will definitely agree to his next request.
If it's a gesture, Zheng Yuanli doesn't mind helping, but if it's not, he minds. After all, there are thousands of dead souls like this in this world, and to help them one by one, selflessness towards them is selfishness towards relatives.
Zheng Yuanli has no obligation to help him, but he doesn't mind listening to his request first.
"I... This time I took the train from Manchester to London to see my brother who was about to pass away. If I could, I would like to see him again in this life. ”
The one-armed necromancer said earnestly, poor baba.
Zheng Yuanli glanced at him, thinking that maybe their fate in this life was over, and it had nothing to do with him.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I used to treat you badly on the train before. Please forgive me, and forgive me no matter what. ”
As he spoke, the necromancer fell to his knees.
"Show your mercy, gentleman from the East."
Zheng Yuanli didn't know how to refuse him for a while. There are many ways to take him away. But the way to lose the least is to solve the incident in front of him first, so that after the villain is brought to justice, as long as he knows, his resentment will disappear, and he can leave this passage freely.
"Yes, I promise you."
Zheng Yuanli said half-truthfully to this necromancer. As he spoke, Zheng Yuanli took out a thunder light spirit talisman to urge the Yuan Shen, and then a flash of lightning flashed.
"After three days, this talisman will take effect, and you can leave this passage on your own and go find your brother."
When the necromancer saw that the Oriental man in front of him was able to use the talisman to guide thunder, he thought it was a miracle. In fact, although the lightning charm can attract electric light, it is not the right thing for this necromancer's eyes. What can really solve his problem is the need for spirit talismans.
However, making and using the Imperial Spirit Talisman to forcibly take the necromantic out of this passage would greatly damage Zheng Yuanli's cultivation. He wouldn't do it for a foreigner who only had a one-sided relationship, not for any reason.
The necromancer was overjoyed and fully believed what Zheng Yuanli said. Hurriedly struggled and jumped up, almost giving Zheng Yuanli a one-handed hug. If it is a human being of normal weight, there is no way to get up on one hand so easily, but it is precisely because the necromancer has no weight that it can jump up so easily.
However, Zheng Yuanli certainly didn't want to be embraced by the dead, whether it was friendly or not.
Gently descending a step, this necromancer seemed to be held by an invisible force, and could not take one more step forward.
Zheng Yuanli waved his hand and turned around, and strode down the steps.
"Thank you, kind sir."
The Necronomicon shouted loudly with its piercing voice.
Not far away, a man and a woman were waiting for Zheng Yuanli.
