Chapter 7, Beginning

The four people came out of the chapel and walked towards the grove where the crowd had just passed. Some firelight could be faintly seen behind the grove. The four people walked along the path and passed through the grove. There was a small grove behind it.

There is a pillar in the middle of the square. The Indian child has been tied to the pillar. There are also piles of firewood below. There are cultists holding torches next to him.

The cultists formed a circle around the pillar, and the bishop dressed in blood-red stood in the middle, raising his hands and shouting something. Every time he shouted, the people next to him shouted together: "Amen!

"

"Mr. Lin, although I know this is just an echo of history, after seeing these, I still... wish I could kill the cult leader with one shot. Well, I am absolutely sure that it was him who first tried to attack the police and attacked me.

Security poses a direct threat."

Officer Silva, who was still helping Lin Qiusheng carry the SKS, said that considering that he seemed to be a Latino (most Latinos in the Americas have some Indian ancestry), Lin Qiusheng felt that what he said should be credible. After all,

According to the previous bishop's remarks, Silva is also a criminal who should be eliminated. As for proving that the guy first tried to attack the police, even if he can't do this, he is worthy of being an American police officer?

"From now on, it is no longer a projection of history." Lin Qiusheng said, "Want to know more? If you want, you can pay me for consultation."

"Mr. Lin, I owe you forty dollars." Silva said immediately.

"A Feng!" Lin Qiusheng said.

At this time, Zhang Feng took out an IOU and a signature pen from nowhere, and handed them to Silva. He also took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight to shine a light on him.

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean they are no longer all historical projections?" Silva asked while signing the IOU.

"The fire many years ago was only half of a sacrificial ceremony. The environment of the world back then was different from now, and some rituals could not be completely completed. However, with the help of some special items, this ritual can be completed.

The people and objects involved in the ceremony are all frozen and sealed in a small space. When the entire environment of heaven and earth can allow their ceremony to continue, the ceremony and the people involved in the ceremony will be thawed and completed.

The whole ceremony.

In the process of 'unfreezing', past situations will appear in the form of 'echoes of history'. However, if the 'echoes of history' are mixed with things that should not be there - such as us, then the following rituals will naturally be

It will be affected. As for what the impact is, it's not certain. But if their ritual is well prepared, then they will definitely not welcome these 'variables' like us."

"So, the ghost that forced us to enter here in the first place..." Locke next to him suddenly said.

"Officer Locke, your idea is correct." Lin Qiusheng nodded.

By this time they were getting closer and could already hear the bishop's voice.

"Everyone, today will be a new beginning, because today, after we have completed the righteous deeds that will surely please God, the door of God's temple will be opened to us."

"Amen!" The believers nearby cheered together.

"Okay, it's time. Ludwig, go and light the fire." The bishop turned around and said gently to Ludwig, who was dressed in black.

Ludwig responded, picked up a torch and walked to the pillar where the child was tied.

"Can I shoot them now?" Silva has already picked up the SKS. Although the SKS is not an American gun, it is quite common in the American civilian market because it is cheap and high-quality. Silva is also very fond of this gun.

familiar.

"No, it's useless. That child died decades ago. After a while, there may be a time when you need to shoot, but not now." Lin Qiusheng stretched out his hand and pressed the muzzle of his gun.

Come down.

At this time, Ludwig had already stretched the torch to the wooden bars piled below, and soon the pile of wooden bars started to smoke. More cultists also gathered around and threw the torches in their hands on the firewood.

Pile on.

The Indian child tied to the pillar should have been unconscious. At this time, perhaps due to the smoke, he suddenly coughed loudly, and then the coughing turned into a scream, because under his feet, the fire was already raging.

's burned.

"Praise God, may your kingdom come!" Looking at the blazing flames and the sacrifices that had begun to burn, the bishop shouted with his hands raised.

"Amen!" The surrounding believers also cheered together.

At this time, a fire broke out in the building that may have been the student dormitory, and then the teaching building also burned.

"They want to sacrifice all the Indian students!" Silva shouted.

"Yes, they have actually been preparing for this for a long time." Lin Qiusheng said, "Perhaps this was the reason why they established such a school in the first place. It's just that the time they were waiting for has not yet come, but the United States

The law is about to change. The civil rights movement brought many changes to the United States. One of them is that Indians have obtained full citizenship rights. If such sacrifices are made after this bill, we will face some unexpected surprises.

problem.

I'm not referring to legal sanctions or anything like that - these cultists don't care about the laws of the world at all. But according to our Taoist point of view, the laws of the country also have a considerable impact on mysterious events, and this cannot be ignored. That's why they

This sacrificial ceremony was carried out in advance, and then it was frozen using special means. Wait until the changes in the world allow this ceremony to be completed, and then continue to complete it completely."

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean by the changes in the world? Well, I owe you forty dollars!" Locke asked.

Without Lin Qiusheng saying anything, Zhang Feng had already handed over the IOU and the pen.

"You see many years ago, there were many legends about gods and ghosts in the world, right? But later on, there seemed to be fewer such things. But in recent years, such things have begun to increase again. Although the mainstream

The media is unwilling to mention these things for some reasons, but - today is the proof, isn't it? This is the change in the world I am talking about. Well, by the way, maybe in the future, you police officers will have the opportunity to encounter people including

Such factors. Here is my business card. If you have any questions, you can contact me. I can provide you with professional services. Of course, the services will be charged."

Just as he was saying this, a sudden change occurred in the small square. The Indian child who was originally tied to the pillar had started to burn, and his whole body was surrounded by flames. At this time, the child had stopped crying.

, even his burning skin began to collapse piece by piece. However, as the skin collapsed, a monster appeared in front of everyone. It was a pale, human-shaped monster with antlers.

"Wendigo, this is a Wendigo!" Silva was trembling all over.

"Wendigo" is a man-eating ghost in Indian legend. It is said that it was transformed by Indians who ate their own kind in hunger.

"They locked the child together with the corpses of his fellow tribesmen, deprived him of food, and forced him to eat the corpses of his fellow tribesmen by himself when he was extremely hungry, so that he could transform into a monster. But this change was unexpected.

My prediction is that I may have overestimated these cultists. It seems that their magical powers, including the power of the sealing ceremony in the middle, are not derived from their own abilities, but from external objects that they cannot really control. If I had known this

, I can do it myself..." Lin Qiusheng thought. Thinking of the sixty-four hexagrams formation and the price of using one of his trump cards, Lin Qiusheng felt a pain in his heart.

The Wendigo screamed, and many of the surrounding cultists covered their ears in pain. However, the scream was far less thrilling to those who came in from outside, because after all, it was just a scream.

Echoes of history.

At this time, the bishop wearing blood-red clothes raised the strange cross in his hand:

“I through the living God, the true God, the holy God

Destroy you, you most unclean beast, enemy of faith,

The enemy of mankind, the guide of death, the father of lies, the source of evil,

The tempter of mankind and the creator of pain.

In the name of our God, I

Destroy you cursed poisonous dragon,

May the thunder of God destroy you, devil!"

A blood-red light began to flash on the cross. This light shone on the Wendigo, and the Wendigo screamed miserably. At the same time, a swirling black light began to appear on the top of its head.

There were red clouds, and thunder seemed to be brewing in the middle of the clouds.

The Wendigo seemed to feel that disaster was coming, and struggled desperately, making the chains that tied it rattle.

At this time, a black-red lightning struck down from the middle of the swirling clouds. It struck the pillar with a snap, and the black-red lightning crackled on the broken iron chain. But it was originally locked in the iron chain.

The Wendigo on the chain was missing.

"Ah!" screams rang out, and the cultist named Ludwig was suddenly caught by the Wendigo.

The Wendigo was only the size of a child. It grabbed Ludwig's head with its paws and stepped on his shoulders. Ludwig screamed in horror and stretched out his hand to pull the Wendigo away.

Pull it off your head.

The bishop pointed the cross at the Wendigo again:

"The great enemy of mankind, I expel you in the name of God,

Get away from this servant of God!"

The Wendigo tilted its head and looked at the bishop's cross, opened its big mouth, revealing a mouthful of fangs and a sarcastic smile. Then it tightened its paws tightly and pressed its two feet hard against Ludwig's.

With a kick on the shoulder, it jumped up like a big frog and disappeared into the darkness.

Ludwig's headless body swayed for a while, then fell to the ground with a snap. It turned out that when the Wendigo jumped up just now, it actually pulled Ludwig's head from his body.

Come down!

"Ah!" The screams rang out again, and another cultist was dragged into the darkness. Some cultists took out their guns and shot randomly into the darkness, but they didn't hit anything.

"Go back to the church, go back to the church!" the bishop shouted, even his voice was obviously panicked.

"Master, these cultists look really good." Zhang Feng said softly to Lin Qiusheng from the side.

"He is really good at it. Although in the environment of the 1960s, basically everyone was good at it, but they... the cross in his hand is really a good thing. It is worthy of this treasure.

I am destined to be my teacher."

Having said this, Lin Qiusheng glanced at the cross in the bishop's hand again, and felt that although he had paid a high price, the future harvest would still be satisfactory.

The group of cultists surrounded the bishop and began to retreat to the chapel. Officer Anderson led others to join Lin Qiusheng and the others.

"Lin, what do we do now?" Anderson asked.

"Don't panic, everyone." Lin Qiusheng said, "The echo of history is about to end. What happens next will enable us to change and will also affect us. But this is also the moment for us to get out of trouble. Now

I need everyone to strictly abide by my instructions and act according to my instructions."

"Mr. Lin, what do you need from me?" Andy asked.

"Protect yourself." Lin Qiusheng said, "Soon, the ghosts outside the wall will come in, and their target is the chapel. And in the chapel, new ghosts are also appearing. Their first target is not you.

, but neither of them will be kind to you. My child, what is your belief?"

"I..." Andy hesitated, "I used to think that I, like my parents, believed in Christ, but..."

"What you just saw is a cult. I'm not familiar with Christianity, but I think their explanation must be some kind of distortion, right?" Lin Qiusheng asked.

"Yes, it must be!" Andy said.

"Then pray to the God you truly believe in." Lin Qiusheng said, "I will set up a maze in the woods. This maze can cover your tracks. As long as you don't move, it will be difficult for the ghosts to find you.

.”

Lin Qiusheng said to Chief Anderson again: "Chief, you have to stay here to protect them. Generally speaking, ghosts can't see you. I asked Ah Feng to stay here as well. You can ask him if anything happens."

"What about you, Mr. Lin?" Sheriff Anderson asked.

"I'm going to break this ghost realm." Lin Qiusheng said.

"Is there any danger?" Andy asked.

"Son, this question is free for you." Lin Qiusheng said, "Of course it is dangerous, very dangerous."

"Then you must come back."

"No, Andy, you can't say that." Lin Qiusheng frowned, "In the movie, if I say this, I will be more dangerous. Okay, time is running out, I have to work."

Lin Qiusheng took out a few pieces of yellow paper at his side, pasted them in different directions, and then said: "Come into the circle, don't move. No matter what you see, don't move. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded to show that they understood.

But Lin Qiusheng was not at ease. He added: "This is just an illusion array that prevents the monsters outside from seeing us, hearing us, and smelling us. It can even distort their senses and allow them to bypass us."

We, but this phantom formation has no defense and cannot withstand the impact. The child who died yesterday was attacked by ghosts because he shot and broke the phantom formation. Some of you are

Those who have seen that scene with their own eyes. Learn a lesson, don’t be impulsive. If the situation outside is really terrible, you can close your eyes.”

"Lin, don't worry, I will keep an eye on them." Sheriff Anderson said.

Lin Qiusheng nodded and turned around to go to the chapel.
