Although this cross is not very similar to what Jun Chengzong has seen, I don't know why, Jun Chengzong always has a faint feeling in his heart that this cross seems to have been seen somewhere.

Jun Chengzong took the cross in his hand and looked up and down, but he couldn't find anything of value, so he had no choice but to take two photos and email them to his friend in the United States, Harvard Divinity School Associate Professor Cook.

Because considering that Cook should be in class at this time, Jun Chengzong fell asleep first, preparing to wait until he woke up the next morning to see how Cook explained the black cross.

But that night, Jun Chengzong had a strange dream, in which a priest-like man knelt in front of Jun Chengzong, and Jun Chengzong uncontrollably took off the man's priest's collar......

The clergyman's collar is the everyday attire of Catholic priests, usually with a white hard piece at the neckline. In front of the reverse collar you can insert a rectangular white hard belt with two rounds. to form a white square that only shows the chin to reveal the identity of the priest.

Wearing a hard white patch on his throat is bound to be uncomfortable when speaking, which also means to a certain extent that the priest should always be careful about his words and not say unholy words. So, another meaning of pastoral collar is to be yoked with the Lord.

In the Church, the priesthood is the symbol of the priest, and once the priest is deprived of the priesthood, it is equivalent to the Church exiling the priest and will no longer recognize the priesthood of the priest.

Jun Chengzong sat on the bed and slowed down for a long time, he couldn't figure out why he had such a dream......

Jun Chengzong's spirit reaction studio, although under the banner of the studio, but actually do the same thing as the supernatural investigation office, there are people who are troubled by supernatural events to find Jun Chengzong for help, and then Jun Chengzong's psychic ability helps them find the crux of the problem, so as to get rid of the trouble of supernatural events.

Therefore, most of the time, Jun Chengzong is fine, and sitting in front of the computer and reading recent foreign psychic medium-related papers has become his most common thing.

After Jun Chengzong got up, he took a bowl of salted tofu brain and sat in front of the computer.

As soon as I turned on my computer, I immediately saw a new email in my mailbox.

Jun Chengzong opened the email, and sure enough, it was the information about the black cross that Cook found for him.

The email included scanned photos of two pages, the pages looked a little old, and the handwriting on them was a little unclear, but Cook thoughtfully attached his own annotations to facilitate Jun Chengzong's research.

Jun Chengzong saw the black and white illustration on the book at a glance, and the cross drawn on the illustration was almost exactly the same as the black cross Jun Chengzong picked up in the basement, with an arc-shaped hook penetrating the center point of the cross, which looked quite blasphemous.

However, what is written in the book is not what Jun Chengzong thought.

This type of cross first appeared in Europe in the 14th century AD and was a symbol of a mystical group derived from the Church.

Over time, this mysterious group gradually integrated into the church, and was hardly different from the ordinary clergy, except for the iron hook cross they wear.

In the twenties and thirties of the last century, the clergy who wore these iron crosses gradually came into the attention of the world, and they were given a special name.

"The Exorcist".

Seeing this, Jun Chengzong understood why he looked at the iron hook cross so familiar, it turned out that the priests who had worked with him were wearing such crosses.

But why would such a cross appear in one's basement for no apparent reason?

Just as Jun Chengzong was about to close Cook's mail, a sentence written by Cook in the email caught Jun Chengzong's attention.

"This kind of iron hook cross is the foundation of the life of an exorcist, there is only one for each exorcist, where did you get this?

"In the last century, the Church has assimilated the Exorcist community with a corresponding number engraved on the bottom of each hooked cross, and if you can send me the number of this cross, I may be able to ask a friend in the church to ask which careless exorcist priest lost it."

Numbering?

Jun Chengzong turned the cross upside down, but at the bottom he didn't see anything at all, where was the number?

Just as Jun Chengzong was about to reply to an email thanking Cook for his help, his wrist knocked over the inkwell on the table, and the ink suddenly dripped on the table.

Seeing this, Jun Chengzong hurriedly got up, picked up a paper towel from the side, and cleaned up all the things on the table, just as he picked up the cross on the table and was about to wipe it clean and put it aside, but the cross printed a line of small words on the paper towel.

What is it?

Jun Chengzong's cross was dipped in ink, and he printed it on the notebook next to him, and sure enough, a clear line of numbers was printed on the notebook.

“03。”

That's what Cook calls numbers?

Jun Chengzong relieved himself, and after putting away the ink on the table, he reprinted the number at the bottom of the cross on the paper, took a photo, wrote an email, and sent it to Cook.

Closing the mailbox, just as Jun Chengzong was about to go to several professional psychic community websites to find the latest research papers, suddenly there was a copper bell downstairs.

Someone?

Jun Chengzong's heart moved, and he immediately got up and went downstairs, but when he got downstairs, he found that it was an acquaintance.

"Mr. Jun, I found you!" Wakaki stood at the door, breathing between his hands, and it seemed that he was not lightly frozen.

"How are you?" Jun Chengzong was obviously a little surprised.

Jun Chengzong obviously didn't expect that it would be Ruomu, he and Ruomu only have a one-sided relationship, could it be that he came this time to ask for help?

"Why can't it be me!" Wakaki rolled his eyes and pouted dissatisfiedly, "Can you go in and say, it's so cold outside!" ”

Jun Chengzong was also negligent just now, and hurriedly opened the door and let Ruomu in, but he looked at Ruomu's short skirt and woolen coat, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and secretly said in his heart: "It's strange that this dress is not cold!" ”

"Teacher Jun, do you know that your place is so remote," Ruomu looked at the European-style decoration inside Jun Chengzong's spirit reaction studio, and said, "Hmm...... The decoration is still quite tasteful! ”

For Ruomu, Jun Chengzong has always been regarded as a student, and he is really not used to students and teachers walking too close, so he can't help but feel a little more estranged in his heart, and he has an attitude towards Ruomu, and asks, "Why are you here?" Aren't classes going on today? ”

Ruomu didn't seem to notice the emotion in Jun Chengzong's words, and replied casually: "Exam review week, there have been no classes for several days, Mr. Jun, do you know how hard I went to find your address!" ”

"What are you looking for me? Is there something wrong? Jun Chengzong didn't mean to take Ruomu upstairs, if Ruomu didn't have anything else, Jun Chengzong would be ready to send off guests.

"Hey, do you know that after Mr. Mu and Bai Lou went back, they reported everything you did to the school leaders, and after learning about it, the students who came to listen to the lecture that day were boiling, and even some students from the outer courtyard came to me to ask when you would go to the school to give a lecture again, let me tell them!" Ruomu turned around and said to Jun Chengzong with an excited face.

"You're famous!"

Jun Chengzong chuckled, shook his head, and said, "It's a pity that the last lecture ended in such a hurry. ”

"Yes, yes, so Teacher Mu and I have been suggesting to the school recently, saying that you should come again, and tell us what you didn't finish last time, when do you think you have time?" Ruomu smiled at Jun Chengzong and asked.

Although Ruomu was full of admiration for Jun Chengzong between his words, Jun Chengzong didn't appreciate it at all: "You shouldn't have come here this time for this matter, right?" ”

Holding lectures in the school, no matter how much you don't pay attention to it, it is impossible for a student to contact it, so Jun Chengzong concluded that this Ruomu must have something else.

Let Jun Chengzong say this, Ruomu's expression was a little cramped, and he smiled bitterly, which can be regarded as telling the truth: "I can't hide anything from Mr. Jun, it's actually my aunt, she has encountered some things recently." ”

"Things? What's the matter? Jun Chengzong's brows furrowed slightly and asked.

Ruomu's lips were originally frozen white, so when Jun Chengzong asked this, it seemed that she remembered something that frightened her, the expression on her face was a little weird, and she took a deep breath and replied: "My aunt thinks that there may be someone in her family ......"
