It was midsummer, but the nights in the northern suburbs were still very cool. A group of people gathered in the open space behind the house, lit candles, drew magic circles and offered sacrifices—this scene looked like a cult gathering. Seeing Lily busy there, Hao Ren couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This allows outsiders to see us tossing about these things. Who do you think will come sooner, the mental hospital or the police uncle?"
"Let's go to a mental hospital," Nangong Wuyue stood on tiptoe and shook her upper body lightly, as if she couldn't escape the habit of being a snake even in human form, "Anyway, if I were an ordinary person, if I saw a group of adults with serious faces If you want to engage in vampire summoning, I will definitely call the mental hospital first... "
Nangong Wudi sighed suddenly: "I didn't expect that such a dignified demon hunter would come to participate in this kind of thing. In the past, this is a demon."
"Why are you talking about that?" Lily turned her head and complained rudely, "You've already married a demon, so don't continue to be arrogant."
Lily continued to fiddle with the summoning circle while talking, she got some quicklime from somewhere, and drew a crooked pentagram on the ground, the more Hao Ren looked at it, the more unreliable it became: "Do you think this thing will work? Out of the five corners you drew, four are crooked... and the other one is still round?"
"It's fine if you think about it," Lily said with a happy face, "The sacrifice has already been put on it, and then we can find two people to bleed!"
Hao Ren looked suspiciously at Lily's offering at the tip of the pentagram: "Where did you get these things? Are they reliable?"
"Of course it's reliable, I collected them all myself," Lily pointed to the things around the summoning circle, "The leaves of the mistletoe were specimens made when I traveled outside, and the bat teeth were caught by me in the wild. The limestone is easy to say. , the ashes of a woman's hair are my own—it hurts."
Hao Ren listened in a daze, and suddenly remembered that the fur of the black goat was needed to summon the item, but he looked for it on the magic circle, but only saw a small leather boot: "... the black goat fur that was agreed What? Where did these shoes come from?"
Lily: "This is my shoe. Anyway, the shoe seller told me that it's made of goatskin... I thought there should be no difference between goatskin and black goatskin."
Elizabeth, who rushed over to join in the fun, was taken aback for a while. The little girl covered her face: "It would be a hell if she could summon things."
Nangong Wudi continued to sigh: "If all the wizards in the world are like her, how much work will the demon hunters save..."
Hao Ren was also a little worried about this magic book experiment. He was afraid that this nagging witch book would really summon something messy—although it was not a threat. But it's always a hassle. However, after seeing Lily's rigor, he immediately put his heart at ease. With this husky's experimental attitude, even if she went to the city center to place things here, she would at most be able to summon the sanitation guards...
"Let me see." Lily grabbed Hao Ren's arm and glanced at the illustrations in the magic book. "Well, the placement is fine, the magic circle... it feels like that, the moon is also full... oh, the conditions have been met, let's try the ceremony, landlord?"
Hao Ren was about to step forward. Next to him, Nangong Sanba couldn't help but mention: "Are you sure you really want to do this kind of summoning ceremony of unknown origin?"
That magic book might look more like a farce to others. But in the eyes of demon hunters, there is no joke. This kind of heresy and cult that has been handed down from the dark ages of the Middle Ages records truly taboo knowledge. Almost every name of the devil and god on them corresponds to a living alien. Or their remaining power in the world, and those seemingly absurd rituals often have very troublesome effects. Hundreds of years ago in Europe, there were many kingdoms and castles that were destroyed due to the abuse of magic books, and even several large-scale "natural disasters" were related to such magic books. There are also some aristocrats or heretic scholars who are obsessed with hidden knowledge and their souls are taken over by the evil spirits residing in the book because they opened the magic book. Such things are hard to guard against.
Hao Ren shrugged: "What do you think can be summoned with Lily's nonsense summoning ceremony? Not to mention that this thing was originally used to summon Vivian..."
Nangong Sanba was right after thinking about it, so he kept silent.
Hao Ren and Lili stood on both sides of the magic circle according to the book, and Lili gritted her teeth and looked at her fingers: "I'm really bleeding... I suddenly feel so bad."
"Anyway, I don't care." Hao Ren had already closed part of the shield and reduced the tissue strength of some limbs, ready to bleed, "It only takes three drops of blood."
Lily snorted and bit down on her finger. At the same time, Hao Ren bit her own fingertips.
Blood dripped onto the ground. Hao Ren turned his head to look at the summoning circle beside him. The crooked pentagram didn't move. "It looks like it didn't work. I'll say that the things you prepared are all nonsense."
Lily raised her finger and yelled, "That's because my blood has grown before it drips!"
The people around who were watching the excitement were stunned, Hao Ren's mouth twitched: The werewolf's physical recovery ability is showing off at this time!
"Try again?" Lily wagged her tail excitedly, "I'll bite harder this time!"
Hao Ren tried again with her, and it turned out that the husky couldn't control his regeneration power at all. She bit a hole, and she had already grown her teeth before they came up. This situation was so dumbfounding that Nangong Wuyue couldn't help muttering: "It's a problem for you to make an alliance with someone else."
Lily stared blankly at her hand, then gritted her teeth suddenly, turned her head and ran back to the house to take out a straw: "The landlord will try again! This time I put a straw in it after biting it, I don't believe it can last forever! "
Hao Ren suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly pushed the crazy husky aside and turned to greet the others: "Which one of you will try it for her? Otherwise, this husky really put a tube on itself."
Nangong Sanba looked around, and consciously stepped forward: "It seems that it can only be me."
The regenerative ability of the half-baked demon hunter was finally not as enchanting as the "werewolf", and the last step of the summoning ceremony was finally successfully completed. However, after the third drop of blood landed, the summoning circle was still silent, no magic power appeared, and no other supernatural phenomena visible to the naked eye occurred. Of course—Vivienne also stayed in the room.
"Doesn't work?" Lily looked at the magic book over and over again, "There is magic power in it, so it shouldn't be fake. I heard from bats that those wizards were unreliable in other things, except that they would never use magic. Books record spells that don't work, because they depend on it to maintain their reputation."
Yizaks folded his arms and shook his head: "It would be more effective if you draw the four corners of the magic circle correctly...they are all crooked. Do you think drawing the magic circle can be done freely?"
"Could it be because the ritual required human blood to be summoned?" Lily was still holding the magic book in her hands, thinking hard, resolutely unwilling to admit that the magic circle she drew was too abstract to cause it to fail, "Let's try it with two humans. ?”
Hao Ren looked around and was stunned: He found that he couldn't even find a human being around him!
There is only a zoo of monsters and ghosts left in my house...
"This..." Hao Ren's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "We have all kinds of weird-looking guys here, but there are no humans."
"Forget it," Lily lowered her head regretfully, and handed the magic book to Hao Ren, "Let's go to the hospital to get two bags of plasma later."
Hao Ren felt that the husky's ideas tonight were not bad, but considering that it was the night of the full moon, he didn't force Lily to maintain intelligence and logic. He reached out to take the magic book, flipped through it a few times casually: "Tsk tsk... the book is real."
He didn't notice that he was standing right in the center of the summoning circle, and when the magic book was opened, the brightest ray of moonlight on a full moon night just shone on the illustration depicting the scene of "summoning the blood king" .
A gust of thin cold air suddenly rose from the pages, and then a strange red color appeared in the cracks between the pages, and quickly spread outward.
The summoning ritual didn't fail, it just lacked one prerequisite: putting the book on the energy focus!
Now, it's activated.
