Chapter 491: Graveyard Encounter
In the next time, the three of them don't plan to separate, the situation they just encountered shows one thing, if they are separated, there will inevitably be problems, it is better to be together, in case something happens, the three of them will have time to respond.
"First of all, about the origin of the diary in James's hand, where did this diary come from, is a question I have been thinking about before."
Feng Han and his second daughter got into the car together, and they drove to the town.
"This book is very clear to James, he found it from the library, I looked up the catalog of the library, and finally found that some of the books were donated by the Gretel family......"
"You mean, that diary was donated by the Gretel family, that is, our family?" Shanna asked curiously.
"That's right, the donor's name says 'Pastor Fabiu', he is your elder Shanna and the pastor of the town, I guess you've seen him too......"
"Grandpa Fabiu? Indeed, I have the impression that he used to attend the family New Year's party every year. ”
Shanna shook her head and asked, "What does he have to do with these things?" ”
"Of course it does, the former director of the Holy Child Orphanage, Mr. Jemuster, is his father."
"Oh my!"
Rachel, who was driving, exclaimed, saying that it was really unexpected.
"We're going to go to the church in the town now and ask him about these things......"
The group made their way straight to Pastor Fabiu's small town church, where they had to get there as fast as they could, hoping to get further clues to unlock the curse.
It was early in the morning, and there was no one in the town church in the morning, and even the church was cordoned off by the police as a murder scene.
"So it seems. There is no way to get in. Shanna saw that the church was cordoned off with yellow paper tape by the police and knew that she could not enter the church without permission.
"We have to go in, Pastor Fabiu is here......"
Feng Han didn't think so, he opened the seal and walked in with a grin. But when he opened the door of the church, he didn't find anyone inside.
"It seems...... He's not here. However, Fabiu had said that he would find an opportunity to tell me about the situation, and he didn't want to be someone who would break his word, and he should be nearby. He hesitated, but quickly came to a conclusion.
The three of them walked into the church, and Rachel looked around, and when she stood next to the window, she let out a startled sigh. She reached out and pointed out the window.
"Look...... Isn't Pastor Fabiu there......"
The location Rachel was referring to was a cemetery outside, which was the town's cemetery. Governed by the Church. And all three of them saw a figure in the cemetery, and it was the figure of an old man.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
The three of them looked at each other and walked out of the church
………………
Fabiu did not wear a priest's gown, but a simple leather jacket, and stood in the cold wind of Kiyosato, who was relatively old but could not sleep at night. That's why I often wake up very early.
Behind the church is the town's cemetery, where large and small tombstones are erected. It was unusually quiet here, and even the insects could not be heard, and a bleak wind blew, making everything seem lonely.
He stared straight ahead, where there was a black statue, which was the statue of the Grim Reaper. Representing the angel of death under the protection of the gods, it wears a black cloak, holds a scythe, has wide wings on its back, and hides a skeletal face under the hood.
It is the oracle of justice. Treating all things equally, it guards death day and night, like guarding this silent cemetery.
Fabiu looked at the statue of the Grim Reaper, and for a moment thought of the past, and just as he was contemplating, there was a rustling sound behind him.
"Excuse me, Pastor Fabiu, we have a few things we would like to ask you about." Feng Han walked in with Rachel and Shanna.
"I don't know if you remember me, my friend James has also looked for you before......"
This is the second time Feng Han has met with Pastor Fabiu, and when he met the old man for the first time, the old pastor didn't say anything, and he told Feng Han that the next time it was more formal, he would tell him all about the situation, which shows that this old pastor does have some important information.
"Of course, young man, although I am old, I still have a good memory."
Pastor Fabiu smiled and said, "If you don't mind, do you need to come in and have a cup of hot cocoa?" ”
………………
"Very few guests come here, I don't have any refreshments, there seems to be only toffee in the fridge, do you need it, but it's only coffee and cinnamon......"
The old priest had been celibate, and his house was near the church, and from here you could see the cemetery not far away.
"Do you remember me, Grandpa Fabiu?" Shanna grabbed the teacup with the hot cocoa and whispered a question.
"Of course, you're little Shanna, and I've seen you since you were that old."
Fabiu smiled and gestured with his hand to the size of the baby, and he clearly recognized Shanna's identity. It seems that his memory is really good.
"You're really small, only six pounds at birth, which worries both your father and his wife, but you're grown up now...... Time flies. ”
The old man sighed, and turned to the other side, where the boy named Liszt was staring at the statue of death in the distance. He walked over slowly, glanced at the Asian boy, and sighed, "How do you feel...... Isn't it beautiful. ”
"Indeed!" Feng Han nodded and put down the hot cocoa in his hand.
"This statue was given by a man named Adaosi, what do you think it is on the table......"
"Death, the embodiment of death, the serene guardian of the cemetery."
Feng Han muttered to himself, but he also noticed that Fabiu had said that the statue had been a gift from a man named Adolphus, who was Dr. Talisac's name.
"You're a very touching and talented child...... Fabiu found a sofa and sat down.
"Tell me, what do you have to ask?"
"Thank you very much, Pastor Fabiu, I would like you to tell me what these two figures mean?"
Feng Han took out an old piece of paper, as well as a pair of geometric figures drawn on the newspaper with an oil-based pen.
"What is this?"
Shanna and Rachel both looked away.
"The pattern on this old piece of paper was obtained from that diary, and this pattern was engraved on that table when we played with the Spiritual Disk, they should all be magic arrays, but what is the purpose of these things?"
Feng Han shifted his gaze to Pastor Fabiu, hoping that he would give some answers. He also believed that the other party would know something, otherwise James would not have come to him.
"Let me see." Fabiu put on a pair of reading glasses and compared the two pictures.
"Hmm, these are indeed two magic arrays, which are used to communicate with the origin of a great skill, but the former is rougher, and the latter is more subtle, the purpose of these two magic arrays is the same, but the level they can reach is completely different......"
"Pastor, you...... How do you learn about the occult stuff? ”
Rachel was shocked, she was a lover of occultism, but she still didn't know anything about the deeper meaning of this magic circle.
"Haha, you have to know that a person of this age is often like me, and he will always deal with things he doesn't want to deal with in this life."
The old priest smiled and said, "I can also see that the symbols on these magic circles come from some ancient Semitic rituals and the concept of Egyptian dream magic, and the person who uses this magic circle is definitely a master who is proficient in secret techniques......"
"However, the former is rough and the latter is subtle, which means that the latter is of a higher standard."
When Feng Han said this, the three of them glanced at each other, the former should be the séance ritual used by James, and the latter ...... But it was the "thing" that appeared behind that strange spiritual disk, and there was any connection between the two.
"No, nor can it be said that it may have been the work of two different masters, the latter being more adept at this field than the former; The former, on the other hand, is copying this skill, and he has not reached this height......"
The old priest stood up and pulled out a few books from the bookshelves in the room, and he said as he flipped through them: "These séances come from some extremely ancient religious systems, and only some of them are 'supermen' who have reached the extreme, and they will be called technicians, and only technicians can master the most mysterious skills, which are the extremes that mortals can reach, and the essence of this kind of magic is developed to reach that height." ”
"Height, what is height?"
Shanna, who has no relevant knowledge, is even more unbearable than Feng Han and Rachel, and she doesn't understand what it means at all.
"In our words, it's a different dimension and dimension, and it could be a secret realm inhabited by gods or elves......"
The old priest explained.
"You...... More like an occultist than a priest. ”
Rachel admired the speech.
"Son, are you accusing me of not learning these blasphemous things? No, you are wrong, the most important thing as a clergyman is the depth of faith, not the shallowness of wisdom, a person with strong faith will not be moved by external things, on the contrary, no matter what he has mastered or not, he will always do the wrong thing he should have done right......" The old priest said disapprehantly.
"No, I don't have that awareness." Rachel could only smile wryly. She also felt that what she had just said was a bit disrespectful to a clergyman.
"So, Grandpa Fabiu, do you know how to exorcise demons?"
Shanna became excited, and it occurred to her that if the old priest had mastered the art of magic or occultism, he might be able to help them out of their current predicament, or help them lift the curse. (To be continued......)
