Nightmare Bell?
Li Ang hesitated for a moment and took the bell handed by Cheng Juxiu.
The bell was made of bronze, simple and old, and covered with green patina. I thought that the mottled patina on it would peel off easily when I touched it, but only after I got my hands on it did I realize that the bell was quite heavy and strong, as if it had an invisible force.
Pulling it closer to the ground.
Alienated object, of course Li Ang knew what it was.
The academy divides all kinds of monsters into four categories:
They are the "demon" of animals and plants, the "devil" of humanoids, the "weird" that appear to be lifeless, and the "weird" that is difficult to classify.
The Academy and the Zhenfu Division will collect information on these four types of evil spirits, hunt them down and hunt them down.
During this process, there are some alien species that are difficult to destroy, or may cause huge damage after destruction, or they are simply used for value, and are retained by the Academy and the Town and Fusi, and are properly contained.
When necessary, the Academy and the Zhenfu Division can even use these known aliens to deal with unknown aliens.
The number of the Nightmare Bell is different - Wu - Lu Qisi,
Yi represents its attributes, Wu represents its level, and Lu Qisi is its number.
Under the paper, detailed instructions for the Nightmare Bell were written.
[Containment Procedures]: Alien - Wu - Lu Qisi·Nightman Bell must be placed in a locked iron box with a diameter of ten inches and stored in the secret warehouse of Fuzhou Town. The use of the Nightmare Bell must be
With the approval of the Tuan Lian Envoy or the Deputy Tuan Lian Envoy of the Town and Fu Department. In an emergency when the Tuan Lian Envoy or the Deputy Tuan Lian Envoy cannot exercise their power, the appointment can be postponed to the level of the Magistrate, but cannot be extended downwards.
[Description]: The Nightmare Bell has an appearance similar to a bronze bell, and is made of copper, tin, and lead alloy. This alienated object is dormant for a long time under normal conditions, but when it is held by a humanoid creature and the top of the bell is pressed,
When shaken continuously for up to six times, it will be converted into an activated state, causing the humanoid creature closest to the user to freeze and stagnate.
If you continue to shake it, the stiffness effect will remain.
The specific duration of catalepsy depends on the physical strength, mental tenacity, distance between the user and the subject, and sonic interference.
The weaker the subject's physique, the less determined the mind, the closer the distance, the smaller the sound wave interference in the surrounding environment,
The longer the freezing effect of the Nightmare Bell is, the longest recorded time is three hours.
According to the descriptions of the subjects (all on death row prisoners), they heard the ethereal copper bells coming from afar while in a state of immobility, and fell into an indescribable sense of tranquil joy. Sometimes, the subjects even asked to release the bells on them again.
, to immerse yourself in a tranquil and peaceful mood.
Many experiments have proven that the stiffening effect of the Nightmare Bell will not cause irreversible negative effects on the subjects.
It will also not be affected by other contained objects, such as the strange-four-nine-eighth food chimes, or the demon-four-one-thirteenth silent reading tung.
After its essence is thoroughly explored, it may be used in the long-term plan to treat people who have suffered psychological damage and fall into the disease of soullessness.
[Remarks]: In the second year of Taiping, the Nightmare Bell was found in the home of Dong Fengmao, the man responsible for managing the Town God’s Temple in Chongzhou City. Dong Fengmao’s family of five died from the effects of the Nightmare. No traces of fighting or abnormality were found at the scene.
breath.
It is speculated that the Nightmare Bell may be related to the Wuyue Temple, a demon sect that disappeared during the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty. It may be one of the props used by the temple to perform some special rituals.
Further investigation is still required.
The above is all the description of Nightmare Bell.
'It's really an alienated object.'
Li Ang held the copper bell and swallowed subconsciously.
Not only because he had come into contact with an alienated object for the first time, but also because on the paper description, there was a record of the death of the previous owner of the copper bell, Dong Fengmao, and his family.
"As long as you use it properly and wear a close-fitting light armor, you can deal with most threats."
Cheng Juxiu said casually: "The compass shows that the demonic aura in Shatao Village is not strong, and it is also level five.
A group of armored and mounted soldiers from the Zhenfu Division, plus me, and dozens or hundreds of farmers and hunters can completely handle it.
You just need to follow me and treat the wounded in Shatao Village."
"no problem."
Li Ang nodded, "I also brought the medicine box."
"That's good,"
Cheng Juxiu picked up the iron box and said, "Judge Niu, let's set off."
Niu Wenshu nodded, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Zhenfu Division, he called in bows and arrows, soldiers and horses, sniffing hounds, and left documentary evidence. Finally, he led a forty-man horseback team out of the city.
————
The feeling of riding a horse at high speed is not very good. It is constantly bumping and shaking, and strong winds are blowing against your face. It is not as relaxing as imagined.
Li Ang pulled the reins, tried hard to recall the riding skills he had learned in the state school, and reluctantly followed the team.
The distance of fifteen miles is neither too close nor too far. After crossing the bridge and driving through the mountain road, at three o'clock in the morning, the Zhenfusi team successfully arrived at the head of Shatao Village.
finally reached.
Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief, carried the medicine box on his back, turned over from the saddle and dismounted, secretly glad that he had not fallen off the horse just now.
Cheng Juxiu and Niu Wenshu jumped off their horses with a crisp movement. As soon as the soldiers landed, they began to alert the surroundings, observe the road terrain, and a scout rode into Shatao Village.
"Is this Shatao Village..."
Cheng Juxiu stood in the middle of the country dirt road, frowning slightly, observing the ordinary village in front of him built against the mountains.
It was noon, but there wasn't much smoke from cooking fires in the village.
There are no farmers doing farm work in the fields.
After a while, the scout returned and reported that the head of Shatao Village, Zhou Pingchun, had gathered the wounded in the village and was waiting for the rescue team to arrive.
"Let's go."
The country road was rugged, and Cheng Juxiu, with a long sword tied to his waist, walked at the front, leading everyone into Shatao Village.
Standing next to the well in the center of the village were hundreds of villagers from the entire village, with panic written on everyone's face.
Next to the well, there are seven mats spread out, with an injured person lying on each mat.
As the Zhenfu Division team approached, a middle-aged man with a medium build and a goatee hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd - he was wearing silk clothes with money patterns, which was in sharp contrast to the old-fashioned villagers around him.
Cheng Juxiu asked casually: "Are you the village chief of Shatao Village?"
"It's me. My surname is Zhou and my first name is Pingchun."
Zhou Pingchun had a flattering look on his face, and said with great respect: "According to the superior's instructions, I called all the villagers over.
Judge, now that you are here, Shatao Village will be at peace.
Judge, when you come, there will be blue sky."
"I'm not the judge, he is."
Cheng Juxiu had seen many such flattering squires, so he didn't pay much attention to them. Instead, he turned to look at Li Ang, "Risheng, can these wounded people be treated?"
