Chapter 189 Shadow of Thorns
Before leaving the Secret Service, Yu Sheng told Baili Qing some of the details he had investigated with Lao Zheng.
After hearing what happened to Lao Zheng, Song Cheng on the side looked indignant. Even with the leader present, he couldn't help but cursed: "What TMD these angel believers do is never human affairs..."
Baili Qing thought for a moment after listening silently, and frowned slightly: "Did you record the 'spiritual ritual' those cultists taught Lao Zheng, and the pattern drawn with blood?"
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little embarrassed: "Well, I really can't remember this, mainly because the pattern itself has been cleaned once, and it is very, very faded, and I can't see it..."
Before he finished speaking, Eileen suddenly blinked and raised her hand happily: "I've written it down."
Then the little puppet glanced at Yu Sheng and then explained: "When you were distracted, the pattern on the ground lit up. Although it only lit up for a short time, I remembered it."
Baili Qing immediately took a pen and paper from the desk and handed it to the little puppet: "Can you draw it?"
Erin struggled to hold on to the pen that was almost as long as her arm: "It's probably OK, I'll give it a try..."
As she spoke, she bent down and began to carefully outline a set of complex circular patterns composed of a large number of strange symbols and patterns on the paper - she was still very unfamiliar at first and seemed not to be used to it.
But soon her movements became smooth, and a dizzy-looking circular array gradually took shape under her pen.
Yu Sheng looked on and was dumbfounded. After a while, he suddenly said: "Oh no...how is your memory so good?! I don't usually see you being able to remember anything important!"
Irene struggled to sketch without raising her head: "I was sealed and I forgot a lot of things. It's not like my brain was damaged! Normally, my memory is very good...Hey, my hands are too small.
Sorry, it’s so hard to draw this thing. Yusheng, when can you give me a normal-sized body..."
When Yu Sheng listened to the muttering of the little doll, his first reaction was to look at the guy's head, and a question arose in his mind -
Three Eileens are either made of clay and lotus roots, or made of rebar and stones... Does she really have an organ like a "brain" in her skull?
While Yu Sheng was muttering in her heart, the little puppet had almost completed the drawing of the complex array. When she was about to complete the last section, Baili Qing suddenly broke the silence: "Don't complete the last section of the pattern. Draw it on
On another piece of paper."
Irene said oh and ran to another piece of paper to continue drawing seriously. Yu Sheng couldn't help being a little surprised at the side. He raised his head and glanced at Baili Qing, thinking that he really had to be a professional - this kind of detail
He really hadn't thought about the safety measures.
"It's almost finished - MD is so exhausted." After a while, Miss Doll finally finished drawing the entire pattern. She raised her head and glanced at Baili Qing, then handed over the two pieces of paper, "It should be
There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Baili Qing took the paper with great solemnity and glanced at the patterns on the two papers with a solemn expression.
"It does have the basic elements of necromancy... but the key nodes have been modified and should be used to 'point' to the sleeping dark angel. This may help us understand his nature - very important information
,Thanks."
Eileen immediately puffed up her chest and her expression gradually became sullen.
…
Little Red Riding Hood strolled through the open space between the East Building and the West Building. When passing the outdoor activity area, she couldn't help but stop and look in a certain direction in a daze.
Near the sandpit where the children played, a brightly colored swing frame caught her eye.
Looking at the swing, she somehow recalled the painting in Lao Zheng's notebook - and the smiling girl standing in front of the swing.
This should be the place that Lao Zheng remembers, but the swing in front of him is actually no longer the one that was there twenty years ago - the previous one was replaced by the new one a few years ago because it was too old and had safety hazards.
.
Little Red Riding Hood hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat on the swing, gently rocking back and forth.
It was very cold in winter, and there was still some wind in the evening. It was not very pleasant to swing outside in this season. Little Red Riding Hood stopped quickly, and at this moment, she seemed to see something out of the corner of her eye.
In the sunset glow of dusk, a shadow seems to be floating at the corner of the outer wall of the east building - the outline of the shadow looks like a thorns clinging to the wall, spreading from the root of the wall to a height of about one meter.
Little Red Riding Hood frowned, and immediately took out her mobile phone to take a picture, and then quickly jumped off the swing and ran over there. Her figure seemed to be jumping in the shadows, and she reached the corner almost instantly, but when she arrived,
The shadow that spread like thorns disappeared.
She took out her mobile phone and looked at the photos she had just taken. She saw that everything was normal in the photos and there were no thorn-like shadows in the corners.
Illusion? Dazzled because of poor light at dusk?
Little Red Riding Hood gave up this idea almost instantly. As a detective in the spiritual world for so many years, one of the most important lessons she learned was not to easily regard those fleeting inconsistencies as "illusions", because in occult science
, even if it is really "dazzled" to see something that does not exist, the moment a scene is observed by oneself, it still has its "reality interference significance".
The sound of footsteps came from the side. Little Red Riding Hood looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a thin girl with short ear-length hair who looked two or three years younger than herself walking by with a stack of books in her arms.
The latter noticed this, stopped curiously and said hello: "Sister Red Hat, what are you doing?"
In the orphanage, the members who become "parents" are accustomed to calling each other by code names. Only those children who have not yet passed the awakening period will be called by their original names - this is a rule passed down from a long time ago.
, it is said that this can stabilize the "character identity" after the awakening period, but no one knows whether it is useful.
In the "Fairy Tale" organization, no one knows whether something like this is effective, but everyone thinks that there are many more "rules" that can be used to stabilize the situation and extend the survival period.
"I just saw some weird shadows, but they disappeared after turning around. It's best to arrange for people to walk around outside this building a few more times tonight," Little Red Riding Hood said casually, and then noticed a small figure in the petite girl's arms.
Stacking books, "Baixue? Where did these books come from?"
The petite girl known as "Bai Xue" raised her arm: "It was donated by others through the Sunshine Foundation and is going to be sent to the reading room."
Little Red Riding Hood frowned and asked seriously: "Have you checked the content?"
"After checking, there are no gays or lesbians. The content of books over the age of fourteen is normal heterosexuality. Those under the age of fourteen are not allowed to engage in sexual intercourse..."
"I didn't ask you to check this!" Little Red Riding Hood immediately glared at Snow White, "What do you usually pay attention to..."
"Just kidding, you've always been nervous lately," Snow White laughed, "I've really checked that the content of the book is fine, that it has not been tampered with or replaced, and that there are no inducing factors that may lead to mental instability in the children.
.”
Little Red Riding Hood waved her hands helplessly, and at this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang - the monkey started to do somersaults again.
As soon as Snow White heard the ringtone, she couldn't help complaining: "Sister Red Riding Hood, seriously don't you think about changing this ringtone? And where did you find this song? You haven't changed it for several years...
"
Check out the correct version one by one!
"When I was on a mission, I met an Algradian who shared it with me, saying it was a song from the 'Remote Realm' star field," Little Red Riding Hood said casually, "I quite like it, and I'm not used to it.
.”
As she spoke, she connected the phone, and the next second she heard Yu Sheng's voice coming from the receiver: "Hello, is this classmate Wang Jiajia?"
Little Red Riding Hood's eyes suddenly jumped, and Snow White next to her opened her mouth: "Ah, has your real name been exposed?"
"Go, go," Little Red Riding Hood waved her hand to drive the other person away, and then coughed twice, "Ahem, I didn't mean that you—have something to do with me?"
Yu Sheng's voice came from the receiver: "I came back from the Secret Service and told them about Lao Zheng. In addition, the angel cultists who were doing sacrifices in the white exhibition hall were caught here. I learned from one of them
I dug something out of my head."
Little Red Riding Hood's face changed visibly, and her tone suddenly became solemn: "What did you find?"
"Are you in the orphanage now? I'll go over and talk to you about the situation and discuss something by the way."
"I'm here..."
Little Red Riding Hood said, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a door not far away suddenly pushed open, and Yu Sheng walked out with Hu Li, holding up his mobile phone and shaking it: "
That's just right, why don't you go to the same room as last time?"
Irene also poked her head out from behind Yu Sheng: "Hey, hey, we're here again!"
little Red Riding Hood:"……"
The girl held it in for a long time and finally said: "Can't you say hello in advance when you open the door?"
Yu Sheng: "When I was on the phone with you just now, I reported to the Secret Service..."
"I mean you say hello to me!" Little Red Riding Hood glared at the other person, "What if I'm taking a shower!"
When Yu Sheng heard this, he immediately felt embarrassed and quickly explained: "That's not the case. Unless it's randomly teleported, I can only open the door to the place I've been to. You haven't brought me into your bathroom - and I'm not a pervert."
Irene hit him on the knee with her head: "You better stop explaining. The more you explain, the more you look like a pervert."
Yu Sheng: "..."
