Chapter 1269: Summoning of the Undead
Yes, if most other walls in the room are hung with decorations such as weapons and beasts, then the wall in front of you is the most empty. There are no decorations hanging here, only a colorful oil painting is hung. Although there are only oil paintings on the whole wall, behind the oil painting is a huge circle similar to the Western-style array, no matter how you look at it, the circle is red, as if it is drawn by blood. The actual area basically covers most of the walls, and there are various strange symbols that are difficult to understand. The types of symbols seem complex, but in fact they are neatly combined and intertwined, and there is no trace of chaos at all. Therefore, under the interweaving of many symbols of unknown significance, a ball of suspected magic array appears, and is clearly drawn in the middle of the wall. Not only that, if the magic array is painted in the middle of the wall, then the oil painting is also hanging in the middle of the magic array.
At this moment, staring at the magic circle on the wall, He Fei's eyes wide open, his whole face was full of doubt. He was immersed in inexplicable astonishment with Zhao Ping standing side by side. The two were like this, and Cheng Ying was like this, including Chongling, Chen Shuihong, Tang Mengting, Qiao Mengting and Xie Xiaona. Even Chen Xiaoyao, who usually talks the most nonsense, was stunned by the scene in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, no one expected that the seemingly luxurious room was hidden in such a strange scene?
But then again, even though the scene is weird and the picture is weird, as a unique person who feels uncomfortable without saying anything, Chen Xiaoyao has not been silent for too long. As soon as he came back to his senses, he looked at He Fei and asked, "Hey, Lao He, what is on the wall? What is the painting? Why can't I understand at all?"
As a Maoshan Taoist priest in China, Chen Xiaoyao is really capable, and his research on supernatural issues has reached the point of being knowledgeable and proficient. That's right, but his proficiency is limited to Eastern China, and at most it involves countries with similar civilizations around it. For Western culture, it is simply a dark eye, which is basically blank. It can be imagined that facing the extremely obvious and strange figures of the Western characteristics in front of him, Chen Xiaoyao has completely become a novice, and his actual understanding level is even worse than that of others who are on the scene again. So it is natural that as a novice who has a shallow understanding of the West, Chen Xiaoyao was stunned when he saw the pattern and instinctively asked He Fei beside him, as for He Fei...
Seeing Chen Xiaoyao asking curiously, He Fei immediately answered him, but his tone was a little uncertain: "Uh, this thing feels a bit like a magic circle? It seems that this thing has appeared in many Western magic movies."
"Magic array? What is the magic array?" Seeing He Fei responding casually, Chen Xiaoyao was even more confused and stared at him again. He explained the meaning of what he didn't understand, but unfortunately He Fei could no longer answer this time. The reason was that even he himself could not understand the meaning of the magic array. Since he was confused, how dare he talk casually? Seeing He Fei stammering and silent, Chen Xiaoyao decisively shifted his target, turned his eyes to look at another gentle and gentle man.
Maybe he noticed the gaze that Chen Xiaoyao was cast, or maybe he had seen something through observation. Just when Chen Xiaoyao looked at Zhao Ping, the man narrowed his eyes slightly, and at the same time he turned his head and said a paragraph to everyone present, a summary of observation with a stern tone:
"It's already certain that this is a star-ray magic array, which is the unique supernatural magic technique in ancient Europe!"
…………………
If you want to know whether a person is knowledgeable, you can start from many aspects. The most critical point is knowledge accumulation. Knowledge accumulation depends on your own knowledge. In other words, only those with rich knowledge can have the prerequisites for knowledge accumulation. Therefore, relying on excellent personal knowledge and years of knowledge accumulation, staring at the graphics for a moment, Zhao Ping took the lead in speaking and made a conclusion in a relatively positive tone, concluding that there is a magic array in front of you, a star-bright magic array involving Western magic.
The people present at Zhao Ping's knowledge are obvious to all. Seeing the man with glasses, the words of the man in glasses are affirmed, including He Fei, everyone chose to believe it. In fact, even if Zhao Ping didn't say it, they almost had guesses. The guess was just like the magic array when He Fei answered Chen Xiaoyao a few seconds ago. The graphics are very similar to magic arrays, and no matter how they look at it, they look very much like the star-bright magic arrays in many magic movies. The reason why Zhao Ping spoke clearly was to eliminate doubts and directly set the tone of the problem.
"Star Magic Array? The name is quite interesting, but what is the specific function?" When Zhao Ping heard that he was so sure, he saw others nodding. Chen Xiaoyao, who had been curious, did not let him ask again, further locking the deep focus on the question. The implication is very simple, that is, no matter what this thing is called, I just want to know what the function of this strange circle is?
so……
After Chen Xiaoyao asked this persistently, the crowd looked at Zhao Ping again, but this time Zhao Ping did not answer, but turned his eyes to Cheng Ying.
Seeing Zhao Ping looking at Cheng Ying without saying a word, everyone suddenly realized this time! I almost forgot that there was an international killer who had a deep understanding of Western culture at the scene. Since that's the case...
"I do have a certain understanding of the Star Raiding Array, but it is only a theoretical understanding and cannot involve the deeper level." As expected, when everyone looked at me, Cheng Ying nodded without any ink, and then began to explain it after giving a pre-reminder to everyone, spreading a piece of supernatural knowledge that was being studied due to personal hobbies:
"Just like the mysterious magic in the east represented by Maoshan Taoism, the West also has its own unique supernatural means, and magic is the most typical representative. Due to the lack of documentary records, the specific means of magic are unknown, so I can only use various theories passed down in modern times as a reference. Magic is said to be a magic method that can control and use natural elements through the spirit. Anyone who can control natural elements can often be called a mage or magician. A powerful mage can even reflect the elements outside in a visible way to the naked eye, so as to attack, defense, treatment, and even add various states to others, etc.."
"Of course, these are just conventional magic. If we apply the Westerners' own statement, it can be called light magic in a blunt way."
Because he has been active in European countries all year round, Cheng Ying has a good understanding of Western history and culture. In addition to revising the explanation, he has also analyzed and interpreted the worldview of the people. At this point, Cheng Ying gave a brief pause, but everyone present, led by He Fei, did not think that the explanation was over. After all, the focus has not been covered yet, and the focus is undoubtedly a strange figure that is close to the point. The result is certain. With just one pause, Cheng Ying continued to add and explain it again, but...
After the pause, when Cheng Ying spoke again and explained, for some reason, the girl's expression changed and became serious. Then she continued with a frown: "People all know that the opposite side of light is darkness. In fact, magic also has both positive and negative sides. If conventional magic can be collectively called light magic, then the opposite side must be dark magic, which is the black magic that often appears in many magic movies."
Black magic?
Hearing this, it was as if his nerves were stimulated by an unknown piece of ice. When Cheng Ying talked about the word "black magic" which is purely fictional in reality, He Fei's heart suddenly hopped, and he had a faint premonition of unknown feeling with other executors who were also listening. It was specific and clear, but the inexplicable premonition of unknown feeling was really frustrating, and it maintained a bumpy and panic. Everyone continued to listen, listening to Cheng Ying continue to explain:
"Unlike the conventional magic that relies on elements to control the casting, although the black magic is also called magic, in fact, the black magic does not rely on elements, and does not even involve the elemental level at all. That is to say, the black magic and conventional magic are not the same type, but two extremely different magic methods. The biggest difference is that the black magic involves the soul level."
"The so-called black magic is said to be a strange magic that can touch the dead. To be contacted means to be able to study, and research is equivalent to opening a door to the forbidden area. Through research, some black magicians can communicate with the dead. The more powerful ones can control the dead, and even more powerful ones can summon the dead by chanting spells, attracting some undead who are still wandering in the world to their side, but..."
"If we talk about the extreme of dark magic, it is said that we can directly call the undead who had already sunk into hell to the human world!"
"According to Christian legends, all the undead who sinks into hell have serious sins or made great mistakes during their lifetime. When they enter hell, the undead will be imprisoned forever and cannot come out. At the same time, they suffer endless torture from fire. However, the peak black magic miraculously breaks this confinement rule and can summon the undead trapped in hell to the human world. As for the method of summoning, the spells are only used to summon ordinary undeads. In addition to spells, summoning the undead in hell also requires magic circles, a star-bright magic circle drawn by blood!"
The above is Cheng Ying’s personal understanding of the Star Magic Formation, and also part of the understanding of dark magic. Although all the legendary materials she said came from the legendary information she had reviewed and collected back then, it is undeniable that through this remark, the girl also successfully scared everyone present, including He Fei, to death!
The reason is very simple, because there is a star-ray magic array drawn from blood in front of you!
At this moment, after hearing Cheng Ying's explanation, He Fei's expression changed, his face turned pale, and his mouth twitched, and thus evolved from the initial ups and downs to fear. He Fei was like this, and the others also had this reaction. Even Zhao Ping, who was always calm, was shocked after listening to Cheng Ying's last sentence, and his slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened. It can be imagined that even He Fei and Zhao Ping were panicked for a moment, and there was no need to say anything else. Chen Shuihong was even scared and trembled with fat, muttering to himself: "Earth, hell, through the magic circle, the undead hell that could not come out was caused to the earth..."
Of course, how Chen Shuihong is afraid is not the point. What is important is that through Cheng Ying’s discussion, everyone understands and discovers what he found, and collectively believes that what Cheng Ying said is true in a way that is unquestionable. The reason is not complicated, that is, even if what Cheng Ying said is all rumors, everything is impossible to exist in reality, but the question is, is this reality? Is it a scientific real world?
So, thinking of this, I saw that the drawing was indeed bloody, and the crowd was terrified and trembled, and then...
It was as if he thought of a more difficult question again. As soon as he learned the explanation of the magic circle, He Fei kept silent and looked forward. He changed his eyes with people with similar thoughts, locked something and locked the colorful oil painting hanging in the middle of the magic circle!
The overall oil painting is very ordinary, or I had already seen the content in the painting when everyone entered the room. The content was relatively simple and was a common portrait of the figure, but it was not a single portrait, but a double portrait. Looking closely, I saw that there were two people in the oil painting at the same time, one man and one woman, and both were young. The man had brown hair and handsome appearance, wearing a medieval aristocratic dress, and a sword hung around his waist. The whole body was quite majestic. The woman had pure red hair and beautiful appearance, and a luxurious long skirt set off her slim figure. The man was on the left side of the oil painting, and the woman was on the right side of the oil painting, and she was lowering her head and closing her eyes in a face to face manner. No matter who was holding her hands tightly on her chest, maintaining a unified prayer movement.
Anyone with discerning eyes can easily guess what the relationship between men and women in the painting is. The answer is probably a couple, but the two of them are strange in their movements. But then again, as a museum staff member, Orphe has undoubtedly seen the world. If you recall carefully, she can still find many collections of oil paintings she has seen in the past, including many characters in the painting for praying. However, the two people prayed completely in a consistent manner but had never seen them. Moreover, they were face-to-face movements consistent, uniform, and uniform. In addition...
If the prayer movements of men and women in the painting are considered weird, then the background in the painting is completely incomprehensible. The background on the left side where the man is located is the sunny blue sky, and the background on the right where the woman is located is the opposite night starry sky!
So, a painting was divided into black and white ends, which felt extremely abrupt, so abrupt.
That's right. Although the executor prioritized the focus on the wall drawings at the beginning of entering the room, how could the oil paintings that were also close to the corner of the wall be ignored by everyone? As the mystery of the drawing was solved, everyone began to observe the oil paintings and looked at the contents in an extremely detailed way. The contents were indeed seen by the executors watching. Similarly, it was precisely because the observation was too careful. Before He Fei could analyze, the crowd heard a reminder:
"Huh? Look, everyone, there are words next to it!"
Just as most people stared at the oil paintings, Elf, who had been silent, took the lead in discovering something, and found two lines of tiny text in the corner of the frame near the edge of the oil painting.
Huh?
Sure enough, with the prompt of the ethereal fingers, everyone soon discovered the edge text, but...
They couldn't understand it. Whether it was the ethereal and the other people around them, after reading for a long time, no one understood the text. Even He Fei and Zhao Ping, who were proficient in English, could not understand it. The reason was that there was no need to explain it. After all, everyone knew that the area of the mission this time was France. Since it was France, then the ones written on it were 100% French. Unlike English, the international common language, French is relatively rare and belongs to a regional language. Since it is a regional language, it would be strange that all executors from the East could understand it.
"Cheng Ying, do you know French? I remember you seem to be proficient in four languages?" As the saying goes, "There is no limit to the world. After seeing it for a long time, He Fei was directly, and quickly turned his eyes to ask Cheng Ying. As a result, there were both good and bad things.
"Although I am proficient in four languages, it does not include French. However, I happened to be learning French during the time before entering the Curse Space. The study time was not long, so I could only barely understand the general idea."
As Cheng Ying just said, He Fei’s inquiries are both good and bad, and Cheng Ying really only understands a rough idea, as for the specific content...
At this moment, staring at the edge of the text and keeping his frown, Cheng Ying said in an uncertain tone: "I really can't understand the last part. As for the first half, it seems that it is about the tempering of the Nether Fire and the release of the things."
(Is it a spell?)
As the strongest wise man recognized by the team, when Cheng Ying explained the meaning of the text, He Fei made a guess by himself, guessing that the text is most likely a spell to summon the dead, and combined with the young man and woman in the painting...
(Can it be...)
It is said that the level of understanding often depends on the mind IQ, but sometimes it also depends on personal understanding, that is, whether one can understand the mystery of the inner world from the observation of something. It is obvious that He Fei happens to be such a person with a very high understanding and is also a good person who is good at reasoning. As soon as Cheng Ying finished speaking, in addition to making some guesses, he further drew clues from the perception guesses, a value clue that cannot be clearly stated due to lack of evidence.
Driven by his personality, He Fei did not speak casually, but instead struck while the iron was hot and continued to observe, trying to see something from the already weird oil paintings. Of course, it is said that there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people, which means that everyone always sees problems. If He Fei is currently focusing on the content of oil paintings, then Zhao Ping chose another puzzle-solving direction with similar thoughts but different techniques.
While He Fei changed his eyes to lock on the oil painting, Zhao Ping also stretched out his palm to touch the oil painting, trying to check the overall oil painting.
It's a pity...
He Fei failed, Zhao Ping also failed. The reason why both of them failed was not because of the failure of observation, nor because of the failure of the inspection. Instead, they were disturbed and instantly interfered by a rough shout full of tension:
"Quick! Come out, something happened downstairs!"
Yes, just as He Fei and the others were planning to study oil paintings and find clues, Peng Hu, who was originally guarding the door, suddenly issued a reminder, reminding everyone to come out quickly, but the result was certain. As soon as Peng Hu finished speaking, no matter who was present, everyone turned around and evacuated without saying a word, and rushed out of the room as quickly as possible. As soon as he arrived in front of the door, Jiang Dafeng was panicked with horror, and Peng Hu said immediately without any nonsense: "Just just now, I heard a scream from downstairs. As for what was going on, I don't know!"
Knock!
In front of the door, when I saw Peng Hu's expression was nervous and he spoke in a serious manner, he didn't need to ask, everyone had already guessed the answer. What was the answer? The answer must be a slug, and it was probably a slug!
Since I guess the slut has appeared, unless I have enough living, I must not stay there if the space is limited and the third floor is limited!
"Everyone comes with me!"
Da da da da da.
This is the thoughts and the reality is even more so. As soon as Peng Hu finished speaking, He Fei immediately made a decision and ran away after saying hello, leading everyone to evacuate quickly, and collectively rushed to the corner of the only staircase leading to the lower level.
In order to live, the executor was extremely fast. In just a dozen seconds, everyone had already passed the stairs to the second floor. Similarly, because the scream was too loud just now, even the executors who were staying on the third floor heard it. Then there was no need to say more about Robert and William, who were already patrolling on the second floor. Not only did they hear the screams nearby, but they also confirmed the direction of the screams. The sound came from the north area of the second floor, which was the patrol area of George and Daniel!
Since Captain Richard made a patrol plan early and divided the patrol areas, even though he was reluctant, the security guards still followed the orders to patrol. According to the assignment, Robert and William were responsible for the east and west areas, while George and Daniel were responsible for the north and south sides. First of all, it is certain that he was really unwilling to waste his energy and walk around bored. Like George who arrived on the second floor and rested directly, Robert and the two also chatted and spanked without accident after arriving in the East District. But who would have thought that after only ten minutes, a scream came from the North District! What's going on? Could someone be attacked? Who is the attacker? Wait, it's wrong. Even if an outsider sneaked into the castle to attack the security guards and attacked George and Daniel, are the explosion-proof batons hanging around their waists and the intercom in their pockets arranged? Do you know how to counterattack or call for support when you encounter danger?
This is the first doubt that Robert and the other two had when they heard the scream, but for now, these are nothing important. What is important is that they must go over and provide support.
Da da da da da da da da da da.
"Hurry, William, listen to the sound right in front!" During the run, Robert urged the fat man William who was behind because of his fat body. For a moment, the two rushed to the scene as quickly as possible, but...
Unlike the two security guards who are currently in a hurry, although the executors were also running downstairs, they chose to hide when they arrived at the second floor. They hid behind the cylinders in the scattered hall under the command of He Fei. There is no doubt that because the situation is not clear, and he was afraid of hitting the slug in the middle, He Fei did not dare to act rashly and did not dare to escape directly to the first floor. Instead, they took advantage of the advantages of the spacious space on the second floor, and the purpose was undoubtedly to observe the situation and wait for an opportunity to move. He Fei commanded this way, and everyone did this. In this square area with a large column, the executors hid behind the cylinders in a group of two.
