Chapter 22: An Elegy for the Evil Spirit
The two lines of text overlap the letter "S" in the middle, and the original meaning of the vertical text is: "CruxSacraSitMihiLux." that is, to let the holy cross light me;
And the original meaning of the horizontal text is: "NonDracoSitMihiDux." It is to the effect that don't let the wicked lead me!
The cross is topped by the word PAX, which originally means "PEACE."
Four diagonal words around it: "C.S.P.B."
This is a shorthand for the cross of the Holy Father Benedict, which originally translated: "Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti."
And around the cross from the right side is the following text: "V.R.S.N.S.M.V." Circumambulating the cross from the left is: "S.M.Q.L.I.V.B."
They mean: "VaderetroSatana!" nunquamsuademihivana! "Satan fuck off! Don't sway my mind in vain!
and "Suntmalaquaelibas; ipsevenenabibas! "The wine you ask for is wicked; Go drink those ** yourself!
On the spine connecting the front and back covers of "Elegy for the Evil Soul" is a famous quote from the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I: "Fiatjusticiaetpereatmundus"
"Even if the world is destroyed, justice must be done," Ymir recited Ferdinand I's proverbs, his fingers flicking over the cover of the holy book.
Unlike what he had imagined, Ymir could indeed feel the power contained in this holy book, but it did not harm his body in the slightest. It's like a spring breeze, warm and drunken blowing straight into people's hearts, and it doesn't conflict with Ymir's own resentful yin power.
This is truly strange, no matter how you look at it, Ymir's body is really made up of negative emotions. The power of the Church is known to be a positive energy of incomparably holy, but these two forces of diametrically opposed nature, through Guò Ymir's body, as an intermediary, actually achieve a neutralizing effect.
One positive and one negative, two forces, converged at Ymir's fingertips to achieve a delicate balance.
Ymir laughed slowly, he did feel that his body was strange. Logically speaking, as a ghost, he is incapable of appearing in the sun. However, Ymir can also transform the ghost body into a physical body.
A body that can breathe, drink, and eat, and the sunlight does not harm him at all. This has already made him different from ordinary supernatural creatures, and today's discovery is even more outrageous, even the Holy Light of the Church can't hurt Ymir.
So in this world, is there really any power that can hurt him?
If it weren't for the fact that it was a superhero world here, it had countless weird abilities; If it weren't for the quiet reading environment in the library and the fear of disturbing other people's reading, Ymir really wanted to jump on a chair and laugh three times to express his joy!
Just as Ymir was secretly smiling and had nowhere to release, a young man also wearing a Columbia University uniform sat down across from him.
Ymir didn't care at first, there weren't many people in the library, but there were quite a few. There are still more than 100 people, and there is no room for him Ymir here, of course, everyone can sit down and read.
But soon he sensed that something was wrong, and the young man sitting across from him did not pay attention to the rare and precious magic books outside. Instead, he focused his eyes on himself and looked at himself with interest.
Ymir couldn't help but frown, and he looked back with some confusion.
"Ymir, Imir, I can't believe that you came back alive." The young man sitting opposite Ymir looked at Ymir and raised his head, and couldn't help but laugh, he held his two hands with a "quack" and "quack" sound, and looked at Ymir with malicious intent: "What, you don't recognize me?" ”
Of course, even if the original owner of Ymir's body is actually dead, or the young man in front of him has turned to ashes, he will definitely be able to recognize it. Rarely, without Ymir having to recall it carefully, the identity of this person in his body has automatically surfaced in his mind.
It seems that Ymir's body, when he was alive, was not less bullied by the young man in front of him.
With the guidance of Ymir's physical memory, it was much easier for him to recall.
Unlike Ymir, Ymir was admitted to Columbia University based on his own grades, and the young man in front of him, Queenstin Langdon, spent money to buy Columbia University because he was the only son of Herbert Langdon, chairman of the Brand Group.
Well, it can only be said that whether it is in Ymir's past life or in this life, the gap between the rich and the poor at home and abroad is considerable. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the Langdon family is also a thousand-year-old family that plays an important role in the church.
However, due to various reasons, the Vatican-based church power has no way to directly control the development and growth of these families.
After thousands of years of development, the potential power of the Church in the secular world is far more than what it seems. Of course, the potential forces that can really obey the orders of the church are far less huge than some people think.
With the help of the rapid development of science and technology in modern times, there are many ancient families that have been revitalized. The Langdon family is also one of them, and they have made important breakthroughs in the study of new biology, and the study of human DNA variants can also be said to have reached a relative peak.
The son of such a strong group of people has no intersection with a poor student like Ymir. However, it is also a coincidence that Ymir and Queenstin fall in love with a girl from Columbia University Divinity School at the same time, Belica.
In this way, there is inevitably competition in a certain sense.
At least that's how Ymir saw it when he was alive, and he saw himself and Queenstin as a rival in love. Because of this, Ymir, who has always been cowardly and timid, suffered a lot from Queenstin's injury.
Even after he was actually gone, leaving only a body behind, his fear of Queenstin's resentment continued unabated. It's just that this kind of rival contest that is not of the same magnitude has actually come to an end a few days ago. Because a few days ago, Ymir's body was killed on the outskirts of New York City.
(In the case of snow: these chapters may not seem to have much to do with the Marvel world, but they are crucial to explaining the special abilities of the protagonist Ymir.) And, as a reminder, Herbert Langdon is an original character in the Marvel world, and he has interacted with the X-Men and Spider-Man. )
