That day, at Eastern State's Medical Department, Da Hwa's headquarters and Spell Department, a brand new statue of Gu Jun was erected.
The statue was similar to the one that was destroyed earlier. It was tall and its face was young and determined.
At one of the spell testing grounds at the Spell Department's base, a trial summoning was about to take place.
Normally, when the testing grounds started to operate, there would be members of the Spell Department and Ancient Seal Department preparing for any situation. But this time, for such an important and unprecedented summoning, there was no such preparation. However, there were still quite a number of people, most of them were close to Gu Jun.
The higher-ups wanted to play the emotional card, everyone there knew that.
Not only Tong Ye, Dr. Shen, Yao Sinian, Gu Jun's old leaders, there was also Uncle Dan, Wang Ruoxiang, Xiao Xu, Peacock and Malachite.
Even Cai Zixuan and Lou Xiaoning came in wheelchairs.
But Deng Ximei refused to participate. She believed the crow would not show itself and this would be a waste of effort.
Other than these people, there were Lee Zhenjing and a few others from the Special Ops as well as some people from other departments. There was also a representative from the headquarters, Yuan Baowen. He was one of the founding members of Phecda, a person of high authority.
At that moment, Yuan Baowen, Tong Ye and the rest stood at the edge of the testing ground. They looked at Chen Jiahwa who was preparing calmly.
The sun had set and the night was about to fall. Chen Jiahwa believed the crow's power was active at night, it would start to summon when night fell.
"Guo Tong, is Deng Ximei really not allowed to come?" Yuan Baowen asked with a frown, "She is the one who understands the crow the best among us. She is also Gu Jun's childhood friend. If she is here, I believe things will be much better …"
"That girl has character," Tong Ye said, "She has her own decision. It's useless to talk to her if she doesn't come."
Everyone could see the worry, nervousness, and uneasiness on Yuan Baowen's face. This old man was old and had left the frontlines for too long. He no longer had that kind of courage.
On the other hand, both Tong Ye and Yao Sinian knew that this time, the higher-ups were extremely nervous. The power that Crow had displayed had not only caused them to be afraid, it had also caused some of them to be tempted. This mentality was actually very easy to understand. It wasn't just the believers of the Little Ram who desired power and longevity. This was a common desire of mankind for a long time.
Putting aside Gu Jun and the crows, members of the crows such as Zhou Haorui had displayed an extraordinary possibility of not being distorted by the darkness.
This kind of transcendence would allow mortals to reach another realm, but it would also reshape the existing order, so the higher-ups had to be prepared.
"If Crow doesn't want to appear, it doesn't matter who comes." Then Xiao Xu said. He stood quite a distance away from Yuan Baowen and Tong Ye but he could hear them clearly. "Crow is not Gu Jun, you'd better understand that. Don't treat Crow the way you treat Gu Jun and don't expect Crow to be as patient as Gu Jun."
Yuan Baowen's face was slightly embarrassed. With so many people around him, he felt like he was being scolded by a child. He nodded and said, "Yes, yes."
On the other side, Wang Ruoxiang, Peacock and Uncle Dan watched from the side. Lou Xiaoning scoffed. "If you knew this would happen, you wouldn't have done it." Cai Zixuan also shook his head.
Not long after, the curtain of night completely fell. On this summer night in June, the night sky was dark and gloomy, the stars were sparse, and the breeze that blew past carried with it a chill.
"The operation can begin now." Elder Tong said through the walkie-talkie. Chen Jiahwa heard him.
Chen Jiahwa took a deep breath to adjust his breathing. He looked up at the dark night sky and slowly raised his right wrist.
There was no one around him for hundreds of square meters. He could clearly feel his heartbeat and pulse speed up, but the raven mark on his right wrist was a little quiet, compared to when he was in the evaluation room.
It was also because of this that Chen Jiahwa's confidence dropped. He had a feeling … that Crow might not appear …
'I'll give it a try.' He focused his mental power on the black mark and waved his right hand to draw out the sharp lines. He shouted into the night sky, "Crow, Crow! I am Chen Jiahwa, representing Phecda, requesting to speak to you! Crow, Crow! "
A bright crow imprint shot out from the tip of his finger. His heart was in turmoil as he was assaulted by an indescribable feeling.
He could not feel Crow but at the same time, it felt like he was not completely invisible.
At the same time, the crowd was watching. At this moment, everyone was filled with nervousness and anticipation.
Be it Tong Ye or Cai Zixuan, everyone wanted to speak to that existence. Even if it was not Gu Jun, they missed Gu Jun.
Yuan Baowen's wrinkled face tightened. He did not know where to place his hands, the anticipation in his eyes almost popped out of his eye sockets. 'Appear, only when they appear can we talk. Now they are willing to talk …'
However, the scene in front of them made everyone's hearts sink.
Chen Jiahua's Crow Imprint flew out for about 10 metres before disappearing without a trace. There was no change in the testing grounds, the chirping of the insects and the croaking of the frogs did not change. The crows did not appear, Zhou Haorui and the rest did not appear, and Wu Siyu did not appear either.
After a moment of silence, Yuan Baowen started to look disappointed and anxious. "Guotong, why don't you let Jiahwa try again? Is it because his mental power is not strong enough? "
"Crow is not interested in talking." It was Xiao Xu again. "Deng Ximei already knew this would happen. I've miscalculated."
At that moment, before Tong Ye and the rest could say anything, a twisting vortex appeared several meters before Chen Jiahwa. Space was blurred.
This time, everyone's nerves jumped. Xiao Xu's eyes widened. Lou Xiaoning, Uncle Dan and the rest were shocked. 'Is it really happening?' But this feeling was different from when they were at the Pyramid of Nastassen. It felt like … there was a great danger …
"Then?" Yuan Baowen was both surprised and happy. 'Is it coming? Crow is willing to talk.'
In the middle of the vortex, a human silhouette flickered in and out of existence. Soon, the silhouette became clearer. In the blink of an eye, when the vortex disappeared, the silhouette was standing right before Chen Jiahwa. It was just inches away from the group.
The person was tall and lanky. He was wearing an ancient Egyptian-style grey robe. On his head was a crown with two tangled snakes. His face was dark and it was hard to tell his age. He looked like a middle-aged man at the same time. There was a strange sense of guilt around him.
Seeing this silhouette, the group reacted with shock. They instantly went on alert. This was not Crow, this being that came from the darkness was not Crow.
"The Black Pharaoh …" Xiao Xu mumbled, "The King of Ancient Egypt, Tahaka."
The real Black Pharaoh, the creator of the 25th Dynasty of Egypt, the ruler of Egypt and Nubia.
The tall silhouette scanned the group and said hoarsely with malice and provocation,
"Where is Gu Jun? I will come out to fight him. "
