Chapter 54: The Day of the Summoning
Chen Jun listened to the strange events told by the other party, and the more he listened, the more he felt a burst of creepy, and when he heard the other party mention the strange book, he decisively interrupted the other party's narration and asked: "Is that book called 'The Book of Death', the cover is a page made of tree bark, and there is a skull on top of the two bones crossed." ”
"Of course, it's unique." Hellboy smiled consistently,
"Then something happened." As soon as Chen Jun heard the other party mention the origin of the 'Book of Necrons', he was anxious to know how that book could appear in the nest of the giant python under the old locust tree.
"Shhhh
Chen Jun saw that the other party suddenly showed a mysterious demeanor, and he was secretly suspicious in his heart, guessing what he would say later, if it was said that what he said was false, but when he talked about some details just now, he was obviously a little emotional, why is this, could it be that this person who calls himself a hell baron is also related to the mansion,
Chen Jun secretly thought to himself, in his memory, he had never heard his parents and others talk about it when he was a child, so he couldn't tell the truth from the false, but seeing that this person spoke with a clear and well-founded foundation, people had to believe it.
Chen Jun tried to restrain the shock in his heart, and his half-believing demeanor hoped that the Hellboy would continue......
A week after the death of Mrs. Zhengfang, the Chen family's mansion,
The sun slid down the sea of clouds in the west, a piece of white clouds floated in the blue sky, a full moon corridor secretly hidden in the clouds, calmly waiting for the night to come, so as to show its silver plate-like style, seeing the full moon makes people immediately think that it is the fifteenth of every month, but tonight's full moon is about to face a catastrophe, that is, the legendary 'tengu eating the moon',
On this day, several strangers came to the house, one of them was a man carrying a strange book, the man's thin and sallow face gave people the feeling of a sick seedling, and under his gray and thick eyebrows, there was a pair of eyes that revealed a cold light, and whoever saw these eyes would unconsciously keep a distance from him.
And the few people who came were also mysterious, wearing a black cloak-like cloak, and the cape and hat covered their heads tightly, even if they were up close, they could only vaguely see the outline, and even they couldn't tell whether they were men or women, and the sharp eyes could only be judged from the fat and thin figures, they should all be men.
The men, women, and children in the house were all frightened by these strangers' solemn demeanor and strange costumes, and they were all terrified and secretly speculating, wondering whether these people would help the owner to subdue the evil spirits.
According to the instructions of the visitor, Chen Dadong's family took them to the bottom of the most secret cellar of the house, opened the small door leading to the cellar, and then revealed the dull and swarthy cellar passage, the passage was made of some stones, walking on the uneven passage steps, they were slowly stumbling down, just stepping under the cellar, a damp and moldy smell, rushed towards them, everyone snorted and tried to resist the unpleasant smell,
Except for a round stone table under the cellar, there are almost no special furnishings, there are some mottled surface layers on the cellar wall that are about to fall off and roll up, it is not clear what it is in the dark, the dark cellar seems to have no other furnishings, so it seems to be particularly hollow and gloomy, a group of seven people automatically sit around the stone table, and the naked eye can see that there is a groove on the stone table, the pattern of water chestnut polygons,
As the minutes passed, the man in the lead kept taking out his pocket watch to look at the time.
Chen Dadong's family and several other sturdy men all held their breath and waited quietly for the leading man to give orders.
At the same time, all the people in the house were grounded and moved, it was said that they were afraid of alarming evil spirits, ghosts and gods, and the house in the dark night entered a dormant atmosphere of death early, and everyone in the house was worried and uneasy, and they were worried about their fate and feared the revenge of the evil spirits.
The white beam of the full moon reflected the sleeping earth, and a cold wind swept the shadowy branches, houses, mountains, and rivers all entered an unusually quiet state, and even the tireless nightingale stopped chirping at this moment, as if everything was in silence, waiting for that moment to come.
A shadow suddenly appeared next to the full moon, eroding the bright moon little by little, between the sky and the earth gradually became deep from light black, as the moon was slowly swallowed by the shadows, the sky and the earth were instantly as dark as ink,
In the most secret basement of the Chen family's old mansion, seven people stood up around the stone table, holding hands, without a trace of emotion on their faces, with a mysterious demeanor.
The leading man looked at the flickering candle beam, his eyes fell on the open page, and solemnly recited the sacred prayer,
"I, the messenger of hell and the initiator of the ritual, today have a very pious heart, and call upon the gods whom mankind has always revered, the energy of wisdom to protect the body, to drive away all evil, and to give peace to its good people."
Just after the leading man finished reading the prayer, a cold wind stabbed and swirled, lightly swept over their faces, the groove in the middle of the surrounding stone table, the pattern of water chestnut polygons naturally rotated, and suddenly a cave that looked like a cliff cave appeared in the middle of the stone table, and an evil force continued to spread up from the bottom of the cave, and they didn't know who might be afraid, and suddenly threw away the hand they were holding, their eyes showed a look of fear and fear, and their mouths screamed in horror.
He saw a burning woman, her legs dangling in the air, emitting a foul rancid smell all over her body, staring at them viciously, spontaneously combusting everywhere she went.
"Ghost ...... Hell, we've summoned the devil. "A person suddenly evacuated the core of the ceremony, and the result can be imagined, and the scene was suddenly chaotic,
The leading man was even more shocked, and hurriedly wanted to pick up the strange book, and wanted to withdraw the prayer he had just sworn took, but it was too late, and a burst of smoke and choking smoke came to his nose, and the places where the basement could burn were inexplicably around, and not only the basement was burning, but even the entire house was in a raging fire in an instant......
There was chaos in the basement, the fire in the house was soaring, the people in the house, whether children, men, women, old and young, the whole dozen people were burning, some were burning in their sleep, some were burning in the thatched pit squatting, in short, all the people in the old house were burning,
All kinds of screams, through the empty dark night, the red firelight reflected half of the sky, it is incredible that no one knew what happened to the old mansion for hundreds of miles that night,
It wasn't until a few days later that someone unexpectedly saw that there was only an uninhabited empty shell left in the old mansion, and no living person was found at the scene, nor did they see any corpses, except for the smell of the old mansion everywhere There was a choking and pungent smell.
And later it was said that from the valley flew a flock of black eagles, they landed on the roof of the house, and from time to time the roof hovered over the roof, making a terrible chirping, the 'quack' cry, the real horror, their black eyes turned flexibly, staring at the corners of the house,
