Chapter 4: Fragment of The Third Key

The new director, Cross, looked tired.

He said when he saw the young man in the classified file room.

"It seems that I'm not the only one who is in a hurry to solve the case, just one piece. ”

Facing the companion who suddenly appeared, Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, and immediately cheered up, put his right hand on his chest, straightened his waist and saluted.

Cross nodded.

"Let's start, you from the left, I'll from the right. ”

The arrival of the new director did not have much impact on his investigation of the mystery about his crossing, but Tang Ning was a little discouraged after flipping through several files in a row.

It took a full hour, but he didn't find any information related to the secret of the crossing, and it would take at least nearly a year if so many files were completed, and he didn't have so much patience after waiting for two years.

Hesitated again and again to see Cross who was looking down and carefully examining the file, maybe this was a shortcut.

Downing walked over with this adventurous thought.

Director Cross looked up at the young man.

"Found the information?"

Tang Ning shook his head embarrassedly.

"Mr. Director, Mr. Alex mentioned cards and other things to me the other day when I was chatting, and I wondered if his death could be related, but the information here is too complicated, and I have just been officially appointed and am not very familiar with the information. ”

Cross looked down in thought for a moment, then got up and walked around the filing cabinet, muttering.

"Cards and other cases are recorded...... There aren't many supernatural cases about cards and the like in various places, and I'm new here, so I don't know much about the information here, but I know that there are some books about card-based supernatural powers, and there are a small number of them in the archives everywhere, the main purpose is to let agents know about the existence of this supernatural power, of course, most of the supernatural powers in this way have been lost. ”

He stopped in front of a bookshelf and reached out to pull out a book with a solid iron cover.

"This is it. ”

Downing looked at the fine iron book handed over by Cross and was pleasantly surprised, but he couldn't show it at this time, and after saying "thank you", he took the book and found a place to sit down.

The pages inside the book are old, but the cover is new, and it is clearly rebinding.

As a lover of the occult and archaeology, I know that this is Hebrew, one of the oldest scripts.

"The Third Key"

......

There weren't many chapters in the book, less than twenty pages, but Downing's fingers trembled as he looked at the contents of the book.

Because he found what he was looking for.

After observing the new director Cross, who was carefully reviewing the file, Tangning secretly took out the deck he had brought with him after crossing over from his arms, and checked the patterns on the deck one by one.

Eventually, six of them were drawn from the deck and the rest were put away first.

Holding the six cards he had picked out, Downing flipped through the first few pages of the book with a trembling hand, and then made another comparison.

The six sets of patterns on the first few pages of the book match the patterns of the six metal cards that were selected.

Peruse the Hebrew explanations beneath each pattern.

The first picture: His real name is Andumari, the Marquis of Hell, and the depiction is of a man holding a long whip, whose ability is to retrieve stolen objects and detect the true face of thieves.

The second picture: His real name is Dantarin, the Duke of Hell, and the depiction is of a man who can't tell whether he is a man or a woman, holding a book in his right hand. The ability is to teach all the arts and sciences to the summoner, to be able to probe anyone's privacy, to know the minds of all people, and to change their minds at will, to simulate the image of anyone, and to form a mirror image.

The third image: His real name is Syr, the Prince of Hell, and the depiction is of a handsome man riding a winged flying horse. Ability is the ability to reveal the thief and his hidden treasure, and is gifted.

The fourth picture: the real list of Calaby, the Marquis of Hell, with a five-pointed star and the appearance of a person. The ability is to determine the condition of a gem or a bird, and can be transformed into a bird form for the summoner to drive.

The fifth picture: His real name is Berial, the Count of Hell, and the pattern is two beautiful angels driving a chariot of fire, with beautiful voices and the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and distinguish between friend and foe.

Sixth image: Real name Andesia, Duke of Hell, with the depiction of a unicorn and the ability to temporarily emit the sounds of various musical instruments or bend trees according to the summoner's wishes.

The obscure and dry Hebrew analysis makes people drowsy, but at the moment it is like a sweet spring for Downing.

There are only six patterns, and the back is all text analysis.

Reading the text, Tang Ning did not discover the mystery of the crossing, but there were some unexpected gains.

How to use the supernatural power of the card!

The six cards recorded in the book are capable of unleashing some kind of supernatural power and are immune to illusions among the twelve major types of magic.

However, there are some rituals that need to be carried out, and some special materials are required to perform the rituals.

Sneaking a glance at the new director, Cross, who was also checking the information, he had already fallen asleep on the table, snoring heavily.

At the age of the new director, staying up late is no longer his forte.

It's a great opportunity for Downing.

After a moment's hesitation, he took out his notebook and pen from his pocket and began to transcribe what was written on them.

There was a lot of content, and it took a full hour to transcribe everything.

After transcribing the materials and incantations used in the ceremony, he turned to the last page, and looking at the torn marks of the last page, it was clear that the initial judgment was correct, and the book was only a fragment.

It's a pity that if this book were a complete book, you could find the mystery of all seventy-two cards, and maybe you could really find a way back.

"Don't be greedy, tonight's harvest is enough. ”

Downing comforted himself, got up and put the book back, walked over to Cross, and patted Cross on the back.

Awakened, Cross looked up at the young man on the side, looking embarrassed and a little sorry.

"I'm asleep, it's really not a good idea to stay up late. ”

He rubbed his eyes. "It's time to go back to sleep. ”

Walk out of the classified archives and leave the empty Paranormal Investigation Bureau.

"Where do you stay, I can give you a ride. ”

Cross woke up the groom sleeping in the carriage and turned back to ask in a friendly manner.

Momiji Town is small, with a population of no more than 3,000, and you can reach any corner of the town by walking for half an hour.

Because of his weak heart as a thief, Tang Ning refused his kindness and walked down the dark street alone.

The roads are a little slippery after the rain, the climate is cold, the autumn passes, and the winter will soon begin.

However, thinking about the useful content obtained from "The Third Key" on the way, Tang Ning was in a very good mood, and naturally he did not feel cold, this was the happiest he had in two years.
