Outside an ordinary bar in New York City, two police officers are on duty.

"I don't understand, what are we doing here? Since that incident, there have been hundreds of such new denominations in New York City. It's just the self-soothing of some boring and timid guys. "A young policeman is complaining.

"There's only one reason we're here, the superiors want us here. To be honest, we are just here to make a show for these religious gatherings that we have voluntarily reported. This is just the beginning, and I reckon they will last at least until the wee hours of the morning. So, I'm going to get something to eat, and you keep an eye on it first. Would you like some? ”

"Bring me a cup of coffee, a burger, and a fries."

The older cop left the car and walked towards a fast-food restaurant. And the young policeman just took out his phone out of boredom and started playing the game.

This kind of picture appears in every corner of New York City. The New York police were powerless to deal with it, so they had to send two officers on duty symbolically. And the vast majority of police officers are just coping.

And in these gatherings, there are some corners that cannot be seen. Certain bloody and horrific images are being staged. In many basements, a large pool-shaped pit has appeared. Inside these pits are unimaginable, massive amounts of boiling blood. It's a huge pool of blood.

At this time, a group of men and women with fanatical eyes were slashing their wrists and bleeding into the pool of blood. They don't seem to feel pain, and let their own blood flow into the pool. And there was even an expression of intoxication on his face.

The NYPD has recently received several tip-tip calls. It was several people who reported their neighbors for drug use. According to them, their neighbors have been pale and vain in their steps recently. But there was an eerie sense of intoxication on his face. This set of symptoms is consistent with the characteristics of drug use.

The U.S. police still pay more attention to drugs. The anti-narcotics team took over the case and then conducted a surprise inspection. However, to their disappointment, except for a small amount of marijuana found in one of their homes, the rest of the people did not have any traces of drug use at all. According to their explanation, it's just a complication caused by being too busy at work recently and being physically tired.

The police returned in dismay, but a young anti-narcotics cop became suspicious. It's not because of anything else, it's just that the characteristics of the people being reported are too similar to each other.

"Maybe it's some new drug." This is the first conjecture of the young anti-narcotics policeman. He quietly got his hands on the files of several people and began to investigate the matter independently. That is until he sees several of the people under investigation walk into the same bar. The young policeman knew he had made the right bet.

According to the arrangement of the movie, at this time, he should be alone in the in-depth investigation, and finally break the criminal gang, get promoted and raise his salary, and reach the peak of his life. But the police officer, Daniel, is a rationalist. He decisively reported his information and once again attracted the attention of the police.

When dozens of police raided that bar. All the officers were stunned by the pool of blood in front of them. After that, the senior management who led the team quickly realized that this was not a case they could handle.

However, it was too late at this time, and I saw a sudden surge of blood in the blood pool. Immediately afterward, a thick mist of blood spread. All officers who came into contact with it seemed to melt away. The skin, the flesh and blood, turned into blood in just a dozen seconds.

It's all like a signal. All the blood pools throughout New York City began to come alive. The blood-colored mist formed twelve nodes. The Blood Sacrifice has begun.

Messages were layered up to the level of S.H.I.E.L.D. Then the council and the monastic congregation received the news.

"Then they might do it early."

"It's not possible, it's definitely going to be. Or rather, they have already begun. Don't you feel it? ”

"What?"

"The surrounding magical elements have begun to become inert. Interestingly, this is not the kind of space-breaking spell we imagined, but a magic sealing array. The magical element is rapidly stabilizing throughout New York City. And once the activity level is reduced to a certain level, more than eighty percent of the magicians are useless. They're not there to open the door to the space, they're here for us. ”

"We had a plan for this situation." Jia Ying pulled out a colorless transparent crystal bottle, and inside was a highly condensed ball of primordial magic.

"More than a decade ago, we developed this crystal bottle to store magic. All magicians above the intermediate level will inject a part of their mana into it and store it in their free time. In this case, in the event of a depletion of mana, or something similar, you can urgently replenish your mana. ”

"Portable magic battery, nice idea. In that case, let's get started. Casillas, as well as the Dark Sect, can draw power directly from the Dark Space. Our magicians have only one wave of fighting power. So, hurry up. End it all when everything hasn't gotten worse yet. ”

This time, the U.S. government reacted surprisingly quickly, and countless National Guards drove into the city as soon as possible. And directly brought an armored regiment. However, by this time, the Blood Sacrifice had accumulated enough power.

Twelve pools of blood in New York City at the same time began an unprecedented boil. An invisible fluctuation spreads quickly. For ordinary people, there is no special feeling. But in Lin Xuan's senses, the twelve points were connected by alien energy that could not be seen by the naked eye, forming a huge sealing magic array. The magical elements of the entire New York City have fallen into a state of inertia that has never been seen before.

"The Guardian Circle in New York has been greatly suppressed. We are no longer able to fully monitor New York City. Crucially, none of the believers who gave their blood died. We can't just kill tens of thousands of people. That would put us on the opposite side of the world. ”

"Inform S.H.I.E.L.D. and tell Nick Fury about this."

Fury, who was in the Three-Wing Building, heard the news and almost fell off his chair.

"If anything happens, S.H.I.E.L.D. won't throw napalm like tens of thousands of civilians."

"Then it can't be helped. They launched the blood sacrifice in advance, and now the whole spell is not perfect. But over time, it quickly becomes unsolvable. At that time, the power of the Magic Council will be greatly weakened. And the opponent will be strengthened. We will choose self-insurance first. New York City is about to be guarded by you. ”

"What do you mean? Isn't the council here to protect humanity? You're going to give up like that? ”
