Chapter 339: Counterfeits
Feng Tingjing, who was wearing handcuffs in both hands, stood up, he glanced Wen Yichen up and down, and said very calmly: "It's you!" ”
"That's right, it's my ......"
Before Wen Yichen, who was sneering, finished speaking, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet was shot in his forehead.
"Bang!"
The shot hit the target, and the prison guard, holding the pistol, shouted excitedly.
"I hit him......"
Unfortunately, this sentence will be his last words.
Two fingers of a white palm stuck out and plunged into his chest, cutting a bloody hole through it.
"Gah!"
The guard's heart was pierced in an instant, and he fell to the ground with a long mouth and a voice in his throat.
With five fingers and claws, Wen Yichen twisted the wrist of another prison guard who pounced on him with a gun, and then kicked him in the face, and finally killed all the other people who tried to escape.
"For the time being...... Get some sleep! ”
He approached Feng Tingjing's side, stretched out his hand to knock him unconscious, and then drove the bus and disappeared at the end of the road.
………………
"It should be here-" Feng Han came to the location of the large commercial city located in the old department store, where Ye Qiuyu disappeared, and this is also a ritual site marked by the reverse cross.
He took the elevator to the highest floor, which was being renovated and the mall was closed for the next few days.
Because it was in the process of being renovated, an entire floor was in chaos, and some plastic tarpaulins hung nearby, obscuring his view.
In addition, it was late at night, and the environment here was pitch black when the lights were not turned on.
If his weak vampire physique was still there, he could basically gain night vision even in a dark environment, but now, his body shell ability has been suppressed to the level of an ordinary human.
No, it should be a line above the average human.
He walked slowly, even if he didn't have a superhuman physique, Feng Han could faintly hear the voice coming from the darkness.
Feng Han had already heard the sound of someone breathing in the darkness at this time, he was not moved, and still walked over unhurriedly.
He knows...... Wen Yichen is here, I'm afraid not only that, but probably even his adoptive father Feng Tingjing was also taken captive by him.
(Being able to kidnap my father from the police is not something that can be done by stratagem alone, this guy...... If you don't do it well, you will become a troublesome adversary. )
Feng Han had come here alone, and although he had deduced where the next ritual might take place, he didn't tell anyone, because he planned to settle everything on his own.
First, he believed that Wen Yichen must have important information, such as important information about the case that happened to his adoptive father; Second, Feng Han wants to avenge the Rowling sisters, which naturally violates secular laws, and his actions will not be tolerated by the world......
"Besides, if the information I just got from the 'Red Evil Spirit' is correct, I'm afraid only I can deal with this guy!"
On the way here, the red evil spirit unexpectedly appeared.
"It seems that you have decided to crusade against that 'pseudo-object'!"
Feng Han polished the homemade flying knife on the electric grinding wheel, he put a sharpened knife and dart into a leather strap and dart bag respectively, and then he put the flying knife strap and dart bag on his body.
…… Now he is armed and ready for battle.
"'Fake', what does that mean?"
Feng Han naturally has some guesses about Wen Yichen's origin, but the red evil spirit must have more important information!
It's a pity that this guy has always been very tight-mouthed and never reveals anything.
"Naturally, that's what it means literally."
"You don't have to play tricks in front of me, does that guy have any connection with the evil spirit space, some things, as long as you think about it a little, you will come up with some answers."
Feng Han said in a cold, almost undulating tone: "You said before that this is a ritual, it seems that this is indeed the case, so...... Wen Yichen, who used this ritual, probably wanted to obtain an immortal body! ”
"How can mortals obtain an immortal body, it's just a 'pseudo-thing'."
The young girl pursed her red lips and sneered sarcastically at the corners of her grinning mouth.
…… Well, according to this guy's meaning, the end result of the ritual is not to obtain a true immortal body, but another layer of meaning. Feng Han thought about it, it was a bit incredible to get "immortality" or something in this real world, but the existence of this red evil spirit was a miracle in itself, so he didn't doubt it too much. However, it cannot be said that there are no doubts.
"Its ritual is closely related to the ancient 'Eleusus Ritual', through the power of the flame and the Styx to create the 'Undead', you and other raiders, in fact, is its subspecies, however, without the mandate of the Lord of the Secret Rites, the ritual cannot be achieved in the true sense at all, and what is produced is nothing more than inferior counterfeits......"
Wait a minute, the amount of information reported by this guy in one breath is too huge, and in such a short period of time, Feng Han can't fully understand its deep meaning.
The first is the "Eleusian ritual", which is supposed to be some kind of religious ritual in ancient Greece. This ritual derives from the legend of the goddess Demeter, the goddess of fertility and grain, known as the goddess of the earth, whose name clearly reveals that Demeter is composed of the Greek de 'earth' and the mother of the mater, and the name literally means the goddess of the earth.
In the 6th ~ 5th centuries BC, she occupied an important position among the Olympian gods. She is believed to be Persephone's mother. After her daughter's disappearance, she was devastated and searched for 9 days to no avail, and left Olympus in anger when she learned that Hades, the king of Hades, had snatched Persephone with the consent of Zeus.
Then there was no harvest in the earth, hunger began in the world, and sacrifices to God were interrupted. Zeus promised to give her back his daughter, and her anger was gone, and the earth bore fruit again.
According to other legends, Demeter left Olympos and came to Eleucis as an old woman, where she was hired to take care of Demophon and Triptolemos, the sons of King Kleos. She wanted to immortalize Demophon and roasted him in a fire every day, revealing her identity when Cleos' wife, Metanella, discovered him.
Before she left, she instead taught Triptolemos to farm and let him spread among the people.
The Eleusian Ritual is basically based on the legend of Eleusis......
"The Red Evil Spirit uses the term 'fire and the power of the Styx' to describe the ritual process, and in Greek mythology, Demophon, like another hero, Achilles, was immortal at a young age, and Demophon was immortalized by the flames, while Achilles was immersed in the River Styx and thus received the blessing of immortality......"
Whether it's "flame" or "Styx", both represent similar meanings, and it's almost certain that it's an analogy for "life after death" or "death" itself.
