Danny went to the One-eyed Dragon, Nick Fury, and told him about what he had learned from Kunlun and the news of the Society. The three-dimensional projection of the one-eyed man sat across from Danny. He supported his chin with his hands and thought about the information Danny brought.
After a long time, he said, "Thank you for telling us this. In fact, although it is not a secret that the Hand and the Society are against S.H.I.E.L.D., we did not expect the five fingers of the Hand and the Society to have such a background. We did not expect that it involves the power of the magic blade … "
Danny said seriously, "The Hand and the Society must want to sacrifice the blood of the magic blade. According to the records, the magic blade must be sacrificed. If they are allowed to regain control of the power of the magic blade, the consequences will be unimaginable. The whole of New York may be destroyed because of this! "
Nick Fury tapped the table and nodded. "If you want to stop the Hand and the Society, you need the help of two people!"
"One is the Old Man. I told you that he is the master of Daredevil, the person who trained him. But there are some things you do not know. He is also the enemy of the Hand and the Society, the leader of the ninja organization Innocence Society. The Innocence Society and the Hand and the Society are old enemies. He knows a lot of important information about the Hand and the Society. Of course, more importantly, he wants to destroy the Hand and the Society more than you do! "
"If you can get his help, you will be able to control the Hand and the Society's fatal weakness!"
Danny said in a low voice. "Even without your reminder, I was going to find him. I might have guessed something about the first person you mentioned, but I have no clue about the second person … Do I know him? "
"Yes!" The one-eyed man knocked on the table. "But you don't trust him …"
Then a picture of Chen Ang appeared in the projection. In the picture, Chen Ang was wearing a hat and was dressed in ordinary clothes. He looked into the distance as if he was staring at something.
"Ang Chen, you may not have heard of his name, but in the ears of special people … that is, people like us, his name is widely known. He is the most legendary symbol in the field of investigators. In Japan, in the United States, in Europe, he has investigated mysterious cases and encountered dangers beyond your imagination. "
"This is really a mysterious person. He is a legend and also a mystery!"
Chen Ang's file began to appear on the screen. Danny's sharp eyes caught a few small boldface words such as: Silent Hill Investigation Report, Elm Street Mystery Case, Crystal Lake Camp Murder Investigation, Cultist Behind Texas Skin Case, Hannibal's Oral Analysis by Investigator Ang Chen, Briarcliff Asylum Investigation, Los Angeles Murder Case, Mystic Falls Town Abnormal Human Study, Columbia Golden Lake Adventure Diary, River Cove Town Cult Family Investigation, JFK International Airport Boeing 777 Parasite Case …
In between the dense investigation reports, there were also countless ancient papyrus and parchment books filled with Latin, hieroglyphs, and Hebrew. There were also countless complicated geometric patterns in the shape of hexagons, circles, and rings, as well as mysterious marks that looked like graffiti, mixed with the complicated star maps on oracle bones and stone tablets.
Nick continued to introduce, "He is a truly outstanding master of occultism. When he was young, he studied for a master's degree in ethnology in China. Later, he was admitted to a double doctorate in folklore and religion. He once studied occultism at the University of Cambridge. At first, he was just a researcher who was proficient in Eastern occultism. But during his time as an insurance investigator in Japan, he began to come into contact with a series of strange incidents. In the process, I can only say that he made amazing progress. His excellent knowledge and amazing adaptability made him unstoppable. "
"After being deployed to North America, he quickly became a master of Eastern and Western occultism, specializing in black magic and cultist rituals."
"Maybe the numerous cults in the United States gave him the corresponding practical experience!" Nick joked. "In the end, he chose to go to Europe to track down the headquarters of those cults. He tracked them all the way from England to Romania, then along the ancient Silk Road, all the way back to China. We don't even know what happened along the way."
"But if there's anyone who can figure out the sinister plot of the Hand Society, it's none other than him!"
Recalling the conversation with the one-eyed man, Danny went to the hotel where Chen Ang was staying. After asking the front desk for the room number, he had just reached the door when he heard someone say, "Come in!"
Danny walked in. Chen Ang was reading a black book in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Before Danny could explain the purpose of his visit, Chen Ang closed the book and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to find me so quickly! Looks like someone warned you … "
Danny nodded and said with a smile, "I've investigated Harold's whereabouts before his death. His death is very likely related to a ninja organization called the Hand Society. This organization has taken over a large part of New York, and even the underground world of the West Coast of the Atlantic Ocean. And the Hand Society's plot … "Danny told Chen Ang about the relevant clues he had found, with reservations.
Chen Ang nodded slightly and said, "Bring me the page of the parchment book you got from Harold's computer!"
Danny had already prepared a copy of the photo. Chen Ang took the copy, put on his glasses and looked at it with a solemn expression. After a long time, he put down the copy and said, "This is the Necronomicon, written by the crazy Arab poet Abdullah Alhazad in 730 AD."
"Of course, this is not the original. Although it's a parchment book, it seems to be a deliberate attempt to mislead the reader into thinking that this is the version translated by the Greek scholar Theodorus Freitas in Constantinople in 950 AD. Because this is the only version written in Greek on parchment. However, the page we're looking at, the star chart that records the positions of celestial bodies such as Jugus, Cos, and Charnos is full of mistakes and is too simple. It should be a copy republished in Italy by the publisher, Aldas Manutius. "
"This version was published in 1050 AD by the Patriarch of Constantinople, Mikhail, who declared the original illegal and burned it. Based on the remaining copies, it was edited and printed, so the star chart is missing."
"There are less than 100 copies of this version, and it was also banned on a large scale. However, I know that the University of San Marcos in Lima, Peru has what might be the last folio of the Greek version. This parchment should be a retro copy of someone at the University of San Marcos. "
Chen Ang returned the copy to Danny and said, "I think I already know what the Hand Society and Harold are trying to do!"
He turned to Danny and asked, "You said that the Hand Society might still have the Daoless Demon Blade made by the School of Onmyojis?" He stood up from the desk and turned to look at the sunset scenery of New York behind the floor-to-ceiling window. He said slowly, "Divine weapons and demon blades each have their own magical powers. Divine weapons need to be reforged, while demon blades need to be sacrificed. "
"Whether it is the Book of Necromancy or the Daoless Demon Blade, they have a common characteristic, which is that they need sacrificial rituals to reforge and summon certain existences. Most of these sacrificial rituals are very evil. They need to ritualistically kill a specific target at a specific time, in a specific place, using a specific method. "
"The characteristics of these rituals are very obvious, so … I need information on the cases of unnatural deaths in New York City in the past three years. I need to know everyone who has gone missing and died in this city in the past few days. Within three months, I need to look through all the information on the cases of normal and unnatural deaths and all the missing cases! "
"I need a detailed map of this city, including the sewers, abandoned factories, and residential areas."
"I need the information on the movements of the Hand Society and the organization behind you."
Chen Ang ordered Danny. Danny was silent for a moment before he said, "I will contact someone to send you what you need …"
Chen Ang said again, "I need to borrow an observatory!"
At this time, Danny could not hold it in anymore. He complained, "An observatory? Why do you need an observatory? "
"Whether it is the Daoless Demon Blade or the Book of Necromancy, their power and recorded knowledge all need the coordination of the stars. Whether it is the three rings and twenty-eight mansions, or the ecliptic and equatorial constellation system, those cruel rituals all need the coordination of the stars in the sky. Therefore, the star chart also reveals the secrets of the corresponding rituals."
