Volume 1 The Strange Strike Chapter 5 Summoning Ceremony
As the initiator of this party, Jia Ming was going to prepare the items for the summoning ceremony and leave in advance.
After Xiaosi arrived, the old man Tang De had no choice but to apologize: "I am old and my energy is not good. I will go to rest first. Otherwise, I will see you in the evening."
Immediately afterwards, several ladies with smaller appetites had already finished eating and wanted to rest or store their personal belongings together.
There were only a few men dining in the restaurant, the ladies had all left, and Matt began to eat and drink regardless of his image, and kept complaining.
"The model is just a green tea. I don't know how many people have played with her. She looks like a slut at first glance. And that Jia Ming, doesn't he just run a business company? He makes as much as 250,000 to 800,000 yuan. He also summons demons.
Well, I am a devil, it’s all bullshit... And this red wine is really terrible to drink..."
He was talking to himself alone, and no one answered him. He found it boring and walked away.
"Phew, the annoying guy is finally gone! I've finished eating, does anyone want to put something away together?" Cha Qi began to greet the remaining people.
"Let's go together! Let Xiaosi save some trouble." Zhang Jun said.
We were chatting and eating just now, and we were almost done eating by now. Except for Tian Xing who wanted to find Jia Ming, several other people confirmed Xiaosi's location through the intercom and went there.
Cha Qi approached Liang Zhen and said, "What do you mean by sacrifice? What do you think of other people? I always think they are weird."
Liang Zhen pretended to look at Cha Qi indifferently, and responded in a neutral tone: "Everyone here is not simple. I am looking forward to the early morning ceremony."
He now noticed a flaw in himself. Liang Zhen originally had a withdrawn personality. During the meal, he took the initiative to help Xiaosi serve the dishes, which was obviously not in line with his current personality. Fortunately, no one here knew the original Liang Zhen.
He found something unusual about him, but he still decided to try his best to act like Liang Zhen.
"Brother Liang said that, did you discover something?" Zhang Jun on the side joined the conversation.
"I must know who I am, so since I was invited by Jia Ming, it means that everyone on that table is of the same kind." Liang Zhen said.
"No, I'm not interested in these gods and demons. I received the invitation inexplicably, and I thought it was a horror party, so I came. I'm not interested in that summons, but that Zhou Jie is interesting! Hehe
." Zhu Fugui said.
Liang Zhen glanced at Zhu Fugui and did not express his belief or disbelief. Zhu Fugui was giggling like a pig brother. Cha Qi, like Zhang Jun, kept smiling.
"What about Hong Xin? Isn't her temperament better than that of your female model?" Cha Qi asked.
"What do you know, that a rich woman like Hong Xin can like a nouveau riche like me? And as far as I know, she is already over sixty this year, and she looks like a young woman in her thirties. You and I
He said, there must be something fishy here. A relative of mine works in her company, and he said that the turnover of female employees in their company is the most frequent, and they are all pretty girls who can never be contacted again once they leave."
Cha Qi nodded meaningfully as if he had suddenly realized something, while Zhang Jun looked at Zhu Fugui with some interest in his eyes.
"Believe it or not, I also heard what my relatives said." Zhu Fugui emphasized.
"Lao Zhu is so happy, I also have a piece of news. I am a small boss. That Tang De happened to be in charge of my industry before he retired. He is considered a leading figure in the industry in our city. He is over 90 this year.
I went for a hundred. In the past, I just thought they knew how to keep in good health, but when I saw it today, it was definitely not simple," Cha Qi said.
Liang Zhen glanced at everyone and said, "It seems that someone obviously didn't tell the truth when introducing themselves."
Before a few people could say anything else, they had reached the fourth floor, where Xiaosi was waiting. The manor has five floors in total, the first floor is the multi-functional area, the second floor is the entertainment floor, the third and fourth floors are guest rooms, and the fifth floor is the attic.
Used for storage.
Everyone got the room key, greeted each other and entered the room.
After entering the room, Liang Zhen put down his things and recalled in his mind everyone he saw after entering the manor. It seemed that his eyes were opened. Everyone had something strange in some way or another. He didn't know what these meant, but
As he said before, everyone here is not simple.
Cha Qi seems to be a familiar person, but every word has a deep meaning. That Zhou Jie seems to be showing off, but in fact he is alienated from other people and even more disgusted with Tang De. Even when Pu Xiu introduced himself
Acting timidly and cautiously is more like a disguise. Everyone seems to be hiding a secret, which makes Liang Zhen, who originally thought he could take a breather, tense up again.
At the dinner table, Liang Zhen was very concerned about what the sacrifice was. Because he remembered that there was a corpse lying in the seven-pointed star magic circle in the bedroom, and it looked like the original sacrifice when Liang Zhen summoned the devil.
This was also the reason why he left there quickly.
When Liang Zhen escaped from the hospital, he was not too worried. The mentally ill person who was ruled out as a suspect may endanger the personal safety of others. The police may not mobilize too many resources, but it is only a matter of time before they go to his home to check. Once in
If a body is found in the room and he becomes a murder suspect, then he will be in big trouble.
Some people in the manor knew the truth about the sacrifices, but no one came forward to stop them, and they hid it from each other in a tacit understanding. They are all a group of ruthless people who have no regard for life. They must be prepared to protect themselves. At least make up for some summons.
The knowledge can also be regarded as completing one's own personality.
After watching for a while and taking a shower, Liang Zhen wanted to go around the second floor to see everyone's condition and maybe get some tips from others.
When he came to the second floor, Matt, Zhou Jie, Cha Qi, Zhu Fugui, and Pu Xiu had been singing and drinking here for a while.
Matt was launching a frantic attack on Zhou Jie, hoping that something would happen before the ceremony. However, Zhou Jie had the right size to tease Matt, but never let Matt take any advantage.
"How was the game?" Liang Zhen asked.
After pouring a glass of wine for Liang Zhen, Zhu Fugui said: "There are too many girls to get high."
"I'll be high soon." Cha Qi said beside him.
Suddenly all three of them showed tacit smiles.
As the appointed time got closer and closer, those who chose to rest in their rooms began to go downstairs one after another. A few people here were having a great time drinking and singing, and those who came downstairs also came here to join the others.
At 1:45, Tian Xing also appeared here, and eleven guests gathered.
"Everyone is here, so I don't need to call each other. The ceremony has been prepared and is in the multi-purpose hall on the first floor." Tian Xing said.
Everyone seemed to have lost interest in talking along the way. Except for the heartless Matt, everyone else seemed to be wary of each other.
There were no lights on in the multi-purpose hall, and it was pitch dark inside. Jia Ming was standing at the door waiting for everyone. When everyone arrived, he handed everyone a lit candle and let everyone in.
"Don't turn on the lights and light candles? Tell ghost stories!"
It was already very quiet late at night, and Matt's loud voice seemed very abrupt. Matt was a little drunk, and while he was singing, Zhou Jie kept urging him to drink, and he was walking a little wobbly, and he turned on the lights in the hall without hesitation.
The multi-purpose hall was lit up with lights, and a bright red magic circle appeared in the center of the room.
Liang Zhen couldn't help but squint his eyes. He saw clearly that the magic array turned out to be a seven-pointed star array. When he lifted his nose and smelled it, there seemed to be some blood smell.
Jia Ming's face darkened and he said dissatisfiedly: "This is a ritual requirement. Please don't destroy the ceremony."
"If you break any rules, I will show off. What can you do to me?" Matt said.
"Brother Ma, stop making trouble. My baby is hungry. Please finish your work quickly so that we can have supper."
Zhou Jie came out and held Matt's arm and walked in. She turned around and nodded to Jia Ming. The beauty's words made Matt feel very proud. After working hard all night, he felt the elasticity of Zhou Jie's body and was proudly taken by Zhou Jie.
Go in.
Jia Ming glanced at Matt with a sinister look in his eyes, then walked over and turned off the lights. The whole hall fell into darkness again. Fortunately, everyone had candles in their hands, so the light was a little dim, so he didn't delay his vision.
When everyone came in, Jia Ming closed the door of the multi-purpose hall, and the whole room was only illuminated by the light of these candles.
"This summoning ceremony uses the most mysterious seven-pointed star magic circle. I think someone among them is very familiar with it."
Everyone's eyes, including Jia Ming's, were all looking at Liang Zhen. This made Liang Zhen feel a little uncomfortable, and he nodded vaguely to fool around.
"That's right, the seven points of the seven-pointed star and the five points of the five-pointed star in the middle correspond to the twelve of us. I am responsible for the entire process of the summoning ceremony, so I am standing here."
As he spoke, Jia Ming walked to a corner of the outermost seven-pointed star.
"Everyone else chooses a corner, then puts the candle on the corner, stands in the corner, and chants the spell together with me."
Several interested people couldn't help but glance at Liang Zhen, wanting to see whether he would choose to be in the circle or outside the circle.
Liang Zhen's brain was spinning at full speed at this time, recalling the information about the seven-pointed star magic array that he had seen in his notes before and just now.
There should be rings on the outside of the magic circle, but the seven-pointed star is an exception. If you add a ring on the outside of the magic circle, it will limit its power and even destroy its integrity. The seven-pointed star magic circle in the bedroom does not have a ring on the outside.
, there is no circle around Jia Ming's magic circle, which shows that he has really done research.
Secondly, the seven corners of the seven-pointed star represent the six elements of wind, water, fire, earth, light and darkness respectively. The remaining one corner represents human emotions, and this corner is at Jia Ming's feet.
There are often incantations in the magic circle, which are related to the creatures you want to summon. Although I have not done a careful investigation, I know that the legend of vampires originated in Europe, so the incantation should be in ancient Greek or ancient Roman characters, even if it is not
The ancient text should be in English, Latin and other languages. Liang Zhen was sure that what Jia Ming summoned was not a vampire, but had another goal.
In sacrifices or magic, the sacrifices are placed in the middle of the magic circle. Jia Ming stands in the outer circle, and the risk in the outer circle is the smallest.
Without much hesitation, everyone else started looking for the corner they liked. Liang Zhen quickly walked to the star corner representing the dark element.
As soon as Liang Zhen stopped, several concerned people also started to take action.
"Where are you going? Stand here with me. Let me give you a kiss, hey hey hey."
Zhou Jie led Matt to a corner of the inner circle of the five-pointed star and was about to leave. However, Matt became excited and grabbed Zhou Jie to prevent her from leaving.
"You're hurting me, Brother Ma~" Zhou Jie began to act coquettishly, "I'll be standing not far away. When we're done, we'll go back and rest immediately. Okay?"
"Okay, okay, hahaha."
The scene where Matt and Zhou Jie were having trouble just now attracted everyone's attention. Several people stopped and looked here. The corner of the outer circle happened to be empty, so Zhou Jie walked over.
The five people in the inner circle are: Matt, Tian Xing, Zhang Jun, Yang Wei and Tang De.
The seven people in the outer circle are: Jia Ming, Liang Zhen, Cha Qi, Zhou Jie, Zhu Fugui, Hong Xin, and Pu Xiu.
