Demon Sage

second day Early in the morning, Rose Squad gathered in the lobby, no one was absent.

Horn Shelley opened a file bag in his hand, took out a document, and put a few black and white photos on the table.

“This is the information sent by the police station over there. Susannah has read it on the way back. Tell them about the situation and I’ll go up and sort out the equipment.”

To get the task, go to the Anomaly Bureau headquarters, and Horn Shelley asked Susannah to accompany him.

Not surprising.

“The current situation is like this, an undying creature has appeared in the small town of Redcliffe, and we need to destroy it.”

Susannah’s description is very brief, in fact, the document bag The information is also brief, generally only some autopsy reports of the deceased. It is not so much that there are any special clues in it, but some meaningless fillers, in order to make this intelligence summary look like that.

Apart from this, there are only a few photos left. Obviously, the local police station abandoned the investigation of the case after discovering that it was a special creature, and waited for the Anomaly Bureau to come to support.

“Ah~”

Stephanie picked up a photo, exclaimed and threw it back, Donald reached out and took it.

A frontal photo of a corpse, with its belly ripped open, and bloody objects such as viscera scattered all over the place. This is the killing style of undying creatures. It never pays attention to simplicity and efficiency. Blood sprayed out, and many believed it was an undying creature trying to feel the breath of life.

“Stephanie, you have to get used to this kind of scene, you may see it often in the future.”

Donald put the photo in Stephanie’s hand after reading it. There may be something bad about her past, but Donald thinks she’s definitely not experienced anything really cruel, at least it doesn’t look like it now.

Not all pagans are used to seeing life and death, it’s like recruiting new recruits to the police station, everyone has a process of getting used to it.

“Ok, I’ll try…”

Stephanie doesn’t show coddling, such as throwing the photo on the table and clutching it Mouth left, or showed aggrieved expression.

After being reminded by Donald, she was forcing herself to look at this photo, even though her face turned pale, she didn’t say a word of giving up, which made Donald secretly nodded in his heart.

It’s okay to be afraid, as long as you have the courage to face your fears, you will be able to overcome them one day.

This is progress.

“It’s really nothing to see, the focus of tracing undying creatures is never the dead… it should be said that the fresh dead, because those stale dead simply don’t care if they leave clues, they They will directly break into a certain place, start killing, and then leave.”

Low-level undying creatures have no intelligence, they rely on instinct to find living beings, and they will not hide their killing behaviors at all. It is easy to take pictures, and the murderer has already been identified, so autopsy reports in this type of case are basically meaningless.

The question is where do these Undeads come from and where do they go after killing people.

What a philosophical question…

“I’m going to the nearby warehouse to pick up some team undying creature weapons, Miss Quick, would like to come with me Can I? I can explain to you some things to pay attention to when dealing with undying creatures.”

It was probably yesterday’s exchange that Pence thought Stephanie had a crush on him, and he tried to get more with him. Tiffany’s time together.

“Sure, I’ll go with you.”

Stephanie glanced at Donald, who was focused on the photo.

“I’m going to prepare some poisons for the carrion. Ordinary poison attacks will have no effect on these guys.”

Borglo Campbell said this sentence throughout, Go to the basement immediately.

“Donald, I’m going to prepare some feed. Remember to organize the documents after you read them. You will take them away later.”

Suzanne can communicate with animals and usually carries all kinds of food with her. types of animal feed.

“Okay, I’ll sort it out, you can go.”

In response, Donald put the photo in his hand in the sun. The profile image of the undying creature, shot in what appears to be a woodland location, illuminated by sunlight, Donald saw a strange thing hanging from a tree in the upper right corner of the photo.

It doesn’t look like a tree vine or a bird’s nest, but a hand-woven like a diamond-shaped wooden frame.

The photo is obviously not centered on that thing, so it’s just a blurry outline, but Donald always thought it looked familiar.

“Do you think this thing is weird?”

Put the photo on the table, kneading Finger’s two fleshy claws, looking down at it and asked .

Meow~

Finger lay on the table with seriousness, and called out to the photo softly.

The town of Red Cliff is half a day away from the city of Demingham. Because it is only a rural town with a population of less than 3,000, there is no train.

Fortunately, the team had enough cars, one for Horn Shelley and one for Burns, three on each side.

The final group was Susannah and Borglo in Horn Shelley’s car, Donald and Stephanie in Burns’ car.

Pence is a muscular brawny man. The car he bought also has distinct personal characteristics. The appearance is a bit like the off-road vehicle in the previous life. The interior space is wide and the accessories are rough.

“Do you mind if I sing? There is a long section of the road. If it’s too quiet, it’s easy to fall asleep.”

Just driving out of Tallinn area and entering the land area, Peng Asked just ahead, Stephanie and Donald in the back seat.

“I have no opinion.”

Donald complied, with his hands constantly moving, flipping through the book “Evil Banishment”.

He thought the diamond-shaped wooden cage in the photo looked familiar, but when he was sorting out the inscription scroll, he remembered that he had seen it in the book “Evil Banishment”.

This religious book records the methods of human expulsion of demons (just emphasizing some ideas, Donald has tried some, but it doesn’t work, that is to ask for psychological comfort), and Part of the emphasis is on preventing the approach of evil.

In the second half, some special symbols representing evil are specially classified, among which is included some twisted symbols, weird creature portraits, and some weird handicrafts.

This rhombus-shaped wooden cage is mentioned as a typical example.

In the book “Evil Banishment”, the wooden cages of this shape are called demon cages or dementor cages. It is not complicated, and the production method is also very simple. You can use damp wood that is in the back sun all the year round. Divide them into several pieces and bind them with some vines that grow in the cemetery.

Just because it’s easy to make doesn’t mean it doesn’t work well.

In fact, the demon cage is a very sinister thing. After some blood sacrifices, this kind of demon cage will have a mental impact on the creatures close to it, causing the subject to become unconscious and confused. .

There is also a saying that if the ordinary person dies near the demon cage, then his soul will not be able to rest in peace, but will be bound by the demon cage.

“Compared with the area controlled by the Orthodox Church, the religious freedom area is still somewhat lax in supervision of religious matters…”

Controlled by the Orthodox sect In the area where this thing is strictly prohibited, the church often distributes some pamphlets to popularize common sense in this area. Once discovered, a special police team will conduct an investigation.

I will never stop until I find out who did it.

When I arrive in a religious freedom zone, the local police officers or ordinary persons often don’t know anything about this thing, and they may think that This is a bird cage.

“Donald, what are you looking at?”

Stephanie has been paying attention to Donald’s behavior, and she can’t help but ask when she finds that he compares the photo in the book for a long time .

“It’s like this, I lived in a religious area for a while before, and I also studied religious studies at university, so I have bought and read a lot of religious books. Books, I noticed a diamond-shaped wooden cage in the upper right corner of this photo of the undying creature, which is considered an evil handicraft in the book Evil Banishment.”

Donald’s remarks attracted the attention of Stephanie and Burns. Stephanie took the photo over, with Donald’s designation, and soon found the demon cage in the upper right corner, and then took it again. Read the book for a while.

“You mean there is a religious background behind this case?”

Pence looked through the rearview mirror at the two people who were close behind because of reading, and smacked his lips. asked.

“I’m not sure, a demon cage doesn’t mean anything, I just accidentally saw this thing in the photo, and I just had the impression to find it out, undying creatures can’t be appear out. of thin air.”

Taking the photo back and looking at the undying creature above, Donald took out the undying creature illustrated book from Anomaly Bureau in the villa’s study from his backpack.” The handbook issued by the Anomaly Bureau mentioned that undying creatures appear for various reasons, some are due to the geographical environment, and some are created by some evil ceremony. The undying creature in this photo is thin, with blue soul fire in the eye sockets, There is also no obvious special existence, unlike the summons of black wizards…”

undying creatures are also hierarchical, and undying creatures produced under natural conditions rarely have a strong existence , if it were to appear, it would definitely be the type of strong pervert.

Most of the time, they are some black wizards who act as demons, summoning undying creatures to harvest life for themselves through some evil secret techniques, but this type of undying creatures are often destroyed by some ceremony of black wizards. There are morphological changes, such as a tall skeleton, some Bone Armor on the limbs, or holding bone weapons.

That’s why there is an entry in the Anomaly Bureau to judge whether an undying creature is a black wizard summon based on its external signs.

The one on the photo doesn’t look like the latter, but after all, it’s just a photo and doesn’t represent everything.
