Chapter 14: Sacrifice

Back then, I privately investigated Ye Yun's disappearance, as well as the mysterious six-pointed star altar pattern, and I did find some clues.

I settled down and said slowly, "This mysterious six-pointed star altar pattern seems to be related to a kind of Nanyang head-lowering technique. ”

"Nanyang Head Lowering Technique?" Li Meng frowned, she had only heard that this was an ancient harmful witchcraft, but she didn't know much about it.

Xue Hang nodded slowly and said to us, "The head-lowering technique is a kind of witchcraft technique, which is very similar to Miao Jiang's Gu technique, but it is not exactly the same. It is a kind of witchcraft that can control others remotely, that is, a kind of witchcraft that kills people through remote means. ”

"This is outrageous, if everyone knows this method of killing people remotely, then we police can't do it." Li Meng smiled faintly and said casually.

At this moment, the owner of the small restaurant brought us three servings of noodles, habitually wiped his hands with his dirty apron, and chatted with us in somewhat broken Mandarin: "You're not local, are you?" ”

"Well, we're here for a tour." I took a bowl of noodles and said casually.

The shopkeeper smiled, looked at us, and asked a little puzzled: "I just heard you mention the head lowering technique, I think you are here to learn Gu." ”

"Shopkeeper, do you know the head-lowering technique?" Li Meng looked at the shopkeeper and asked seriously.

The shopkeeper turned to sit down at the table next to us, and took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it: "I know a fur too, but I won't, haha." ”

"Boss, can you tell us about it?" I smiled kindly and accosted the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took a slow breath, spit out a wisp of smoke, and said to us: "There are two kinds of head-lowering techniques, one is called 'descending magic', and the other is called 'Gu poison', which is a kind of long-range witchcraft, for example, you use a puppet, write the identity information of the other party, and then apply a spell to prick the puppet with a needle, you can make the other party hurt."

Gu poison is the kind of poison that can make people insane, crazy, and finally rot and die.

Anyway, everyone is saying that, I haven't seen anything specifically, but it's all some feudal superstition. If it was so smart, wouldn't it have entered the island country long ago? ”

The owner of the shop is a more talkative person, and he chats with us more realistically, and he is telling the truth.

"So, there's no such thing?" Li Meng took over and continued to ask.

The shopkeeper smiled, his expression a little hesitant, as if he hadn't figured out how to explain this kind of thing to us: "I think this thing is like a folk belief." I've been running a restaurant here for many years, but I've heard about something, I've heard that there is a kind of head-lowering technique, which requires sacrifice, and then people can get eternal life, and it is said that no matter what kind of cancer it is, it can be cured in an instant! ”

The shopkeeper couldn't help laughing out loud as he spoke, and then said, "Isn't this?" A disease that can't be cured by a hospital, can you be cured by a crooked way? is still immortal, Qin Shi Huang still eats elixir! It's all, something that fools people. ”

The shopkeeper was smiling, but I couldn't laugh at all, because I had heard about it when I was investigating.

And the six-pointed star, after some simple graphic changes, is an altar pattern, which is what the shopkeeper calls a sacrifice.

We are policemen, and we listen to these crooked ways as a joke. But even so, we still have to continue to investigate this somewhat ridiculous head-lowering technique, because this is the only clue we can find Ye Yun.

I pondered for a moment, and then suddenly asked the shopkeeper, "How did you make that sacrifice?" What needs to be sacrificed? ”

The shopkeeper took a puff of his cigarette and reminisced as he said, "I have also heard some people who come to eat mention that it seems to be a sacrificial sin, and that if there are enough sins, a person can have eternal life. ”

"The Seven Deadly Sins." I made a firm voice and added.

"Oh yes, yes, yes! It's the seven deadly sins, how do I know what the hell the seven deadly sins are, it's weird. The shopkeeper shook his head as he spoke, and made a casual quip.

At this moment, all three of us stopped the chopsticks in our hands and fell into deep thought.

"This six-pointed star organization seems to be carrying out these seven deadly sins." Xue Hang said in a deep voice.

I nodded and affirmed, "That's right, we always thought that they were an organization that committed crimes for the sake of crime, and wanted to enforce the so-called 'justice' in their own way, and maybe they had a more core purpose. ”

"You're saying they're going to give someone eternal life too?!" Li Meng's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at us seriously.

"That's ridiculous, no one really thinks that you can use any altar to get eternal life, right?" Xue Hang secretly sneered and let out a voice with mockery.

After listening to our words, the shopkeeper was a little speechless for a while, he looked at us in a daze, and asked with some doubts: "You guys don't want to practice the head-lowering technique, do you?" ”

Looking at the shopkeeper's somewhat surprised expression, coupled with his tentative tone, I quickly explained: "If you don't cultivate, what are we doing with that thing, this is a cult, that is, it only exists in a certain country in Nanyang, who would believe in this kind of thing." ”

After listening to my words, the shopkeeper showed me an appreciative and affirmative expression: "I said yes, how can you young people believe in such ancient things. ”

Just then, another group of customers, presumably locals, walked in and spoke to the shopkeeper in a dialect we didn't understand.

The shopkeeper snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and walked into the back kitchen.

"Ye Yun's disappearance has a lot to do with this head-lowering technique, and it must also involve the most core altar immortality." I thought about it for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Does he have any illnesses? Want eternal life? Li Meng frowned suddenly and asked in a daze.

"Is it said that he was sacrificed?" Xue Hang said something that he didn't even believe.

I slowly put down my chopsticks, stared at the noodles in the bowl, fell into deep thought, and replied mechanically: "Ye Yun is about the same age as me, what diseases can he have?" How can one believe in so-called eternal life? Sacrifice is even more impossible, and he didn't sin, all of this is really too strange. ”

Then, I whispered, "And, my gut tells me that he must be alive." Because a few months ago, I received an email from abroad, the IP address of country T, and I don't know about the rest. ”

"This problem, maybe when we wipe out the entire Hexagram Organization, we will know it." I smiled bitterly and said lightly.
