Chen Ang explained, "It's just constantly trying, like a blind cat trying to kill a mouse. What if you kill the right person? Even if the success rate is only one in ten, you can still make one sacrifice after you kill ten people! That's trial and error! It's very likely. When I read the files just now, I found that other people are suspected to have been sacrificed, too. But either the alignment of the nine planets is wrong, or the relative coordinates of the nine planets are wrong. Either the relative coordinates of the nine stars are wrong, or the sacrifice is unsuccessful. "
Danny was shocked. "That is to say, the Hand Society might've killed a lot of people for trial and error! Can't normal people host the sacrifice? "
Chen Ang dropped the pen and sneered, "Why don't you try?"
Danny looked down at the complicated formula and shook his head in horror. Chen Ang added, "Astronomy has always been a very esoteric subject. The calculation of the orbits of celestial bodies is still a field full of difficult mathematical problems. My three-body problem is not something an ordinary person can answer."
"In ancient times, the development of mathematics was actually driven by the practice of astronomy. It's safe to say that astronomy is the mother of mathematics.
"The calculation of the relative orbital coordinates of the nine planets in the solar system and the time sequence is a great test of your mathematical knowledge. In this world, there are many people who understand mysticism, and there are also many people who understand mathematics. However, mysticism researchers who understand mathematics … hehe! "
Chen Ang sneered, "You expect those wizards and warlocks to study mathematics and calculate the trajectories of stars?" He pointed at the Old Man, who was completely confused, as if he were blind, and said, "Do you see that ninja? How much better can the Hand Society be than him?"
"So, the Hand Society has to cooperate with Harold." Danny was greatly enlightened.
"Harold's group is plain, but it's not a problem for them to calculate the trajectories of stars. With Harold's help and the Hand Society's talents in mysticism, it's possible for the sacrifice to succeed." Chen Ang nodded.
"Most of the cult sacrificial cases that I've investigated have failed miserably."
"Their so-called sacrificial rituals mostly use bloody and terrifying rituals to attack their own minds, causing their own mental defenses to collapse so that some filthy existences can pollute their minds. In terms of effect, these sacrificial rituals are similar to the hallucinogenic herbs used by the gods."
"But whatever Hand and Will want to do, they don't need those fake rituals to replace psychotropic drugs." Danny said solemnly, "Then, Ang Chen, we need your expertise to analyze the consequences of the correct rituals."
"Mysticism knowledge that can truly make contact with those taboo existences is rather difficult and complicated. It requires extremely high qualities in mysticism. Those true sacrificial rituals could summon some terrifying taboo existences. Some of them are demons, some are angels, and some are great spirits. Among them, the most dangerous are known as the Old Gods. "Chen Ang explained," Just like the famous magic book, Solomon's Key. Mages gain power by summoning demons. "
"That's orthodox magic!"
"But because it's extremely dangerous to come into contact with demons, most mages can't control them. Instead, their souls are taken away by the demons. For example, the ancient mages Faust and Dante were victims of this. So, later mages turned to some planes and existences that have no self to gain power from."
The old staff man kept a low profile and did not say a word. Danny suddenly asked Chen Ang, "Master, you once mentioned that the Life Matrix of the person being sacrificed is nothing special. Even though I don't know much about mysticism, based on my shallow knowledge, the people who are sacrificed are usually the ones who are selected and have specific characteristics."
"For example, the Four Yin, the Four Yang, or the Stars of Calamity and so on. Why didn't Hand and Will look for these people, but chose to sacrifice those with ordinary fate instead? "
Chen Ang shook his head and said, "She was selected, the most suitable sacrificial victim!"
Chen Ang returned to the binoculars and rearranged the Qimen Dunjia. He explained, "Generally speaking, the sacrificial victim wants to use the special power of the sacrificial victim, so they need to kill the victim at a specific time and place. The key lies in the sacrificial victim … The time and place are chosen by the victim's fate. "
"But this time, the sacrificial victim is chosen according to the time of the sacrificial ceremony."
"In other words, in order to choose the sacrificial victim at a specific time and place, the most important thing is the victim's time of death. Knowing this, you'll be able to grasp the main clue. "
Danny looked at the five sacrificial victims that Chen Ang had picked out, but to his surprise, only three of them had the time of death, and the other two were missing. Chen Ang pointed on the map and said, "The white man died last Wednesday at 9: 45 pm in the northeast city. This black woman will be sacrificed at 1: 05 am the day after tomorrow at this location!"
Danny stepped forward and said, "This is the dock area. The situation is very complicated, so it's hard for us to find a person hiding here."
"Also, how do you know they are sacrificial victims? They don't have the time of death at all. "
Chen Ang smiled and said, "I told you that the first step of astrology is the Nine Star Palaces, which is to build an astrolabe with the nine planets in the solar system. What's the second step?"
Danny finally understood what was going on.
Chen Ang said, "Since I saw the picture of the Necromancer Book you brought, I've understood the key to the whole sacrificial ceremony. The specific time is the key. The Necromancer Book records the most dangerous existences that sorcerers can summon — the old gods and the old dominators. "
"Have you ever heard of a theory? The universe is a dark forest. Every hunter will first eliminate the opponents who expose their position. There is similar taboo knowledge in the sorcerers' theory. There are some terrible existences in the universe. They either pursue destruction or infect everything. In short, they just want to complete some predetermined tasks. "
"It is either their nature, or their choice."
"Among these existences, there are Burning Legion, Zerg, Chaos, Thanatos and so on … including the old gods."
"So the sorcerers put forward a theory. When you need to achieve something similar to those existences, such as destroying a world, you don't need to do it in a big way. You only need to send a signal. For example, calling Burning Legion, summoning Jiange, contacting Chaos, sending coordinates to Thanatos, Zerg and Star Swallower. "
"Then you don't need to do anything. They will help you achieve your goal."
"It can be said that this is the most terrible spell with the least cost … It is also the most taboo knowledge for sorcerers. The Necromancer Book is a magic book that records this taboo. "
Danny understood a little. His face turned pale and cold sweat dripped down. He said in a low voice, "Hand and the purpose of the sacrificial ceremony …"
"That's not a sacrificial ceremony … It's a communication, a text message." Chen Ang said calmly, "The universe is too big! Communication and distance are problems. What really protects the earth is the infinite universe. Finding a planet like the earth in the universe is the most difficult problem. "
"But for those people on the earth, finding the earth is not a problem. The problem is telling the earth's location to others. There is no such energy source on the earth that can send an instant signal to hundreds of light years away. "
"But there is one next to the earth!"
"The sun is such a celestial body with enough mass and energy. For electromagnetic waves, the sun has an energy mirror enhancement and reflection effect, which can be used to achieve interstellar communication. But for a country bumpkin like the Hand and the Society, they probably can't even make a device that can use the solar energy mirror enhancement and reflection effect to send electromagnetic waves! "
"The Red Coast Base also needs the power of a country!"
"But the same principle can also be used in occultism. The human soul, or quantum information, can be used as an information carrier for interstellar communication. And the taboo knowledge recorded in the Necromancer Book, in astrology, is actually to use the sun as a communication device to send a specific message recorded in the human soul to a specific direction."
"In other words, to summon the old gods!"
"It's not easy to use the sun. The sun emits immeasurable gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation all the time. Who can make a call with such a big phone?"
Hearing this, Danny's seven apertures were all clear, and he was about to die! Although Chen Ang was using the simplest language, the astronomy doctors of Columbia University were all listening with shining eyes. But Danny and the Old Man felt like they had fallen into a cloud and could only feel a wave of fear.
Chen Ang continued to explain, "Fortunately, this phone is being dialed all the time. The sun is being affected all the time. Of course, only the planets around it have the ability to affect it. The nine planets are like an invisible hand, constantly changing the signal of the sun's radiation. "
"Then the signal has been connected. All that's left is a piece of information!"
"Based on the positions of the nine planets, it can be calculated that at a certain point in time, the signal of the sun is only meaningful to a specific object. In short, the positions of the nine planets are like different phone numbers, dialing different star fields. To send the signal to the right star field, you must choose the right time. "
"And if you choose the right time, to send a soul or a piece of quantum information far away, you also need an initial trigger point. And the trigger point is the fate that corresponds to that time. In such a way, the whole ritual has completed a logical chain. Choose a specific time, kill the corresponding person through the ritual, and send their soul to the signal oscillator through the orbit of the nine planets, and then send it to a specific star field. "
"This is the internal logic of the whole ritual." Chen Ang finished his explanation.
Danny thought for a long time before he finally understood his explanation. At this moment, among the doctors of Columbia, someone raised his trembling hand. "Then, sir, has the Hand already sent the message to the old god?"
Chen Ang picked up his pen and said, "Let me do some calculations!"
Lucien calculated the time sequence of the stars corresponding to the five offerings. Then, according to the extremely complicated calculation method in the Book of Necromancy, he converted the data into the corresponding star field coordinates. Then, he began to observe with the telescope.
Danny asked in a low voice, "Did they succeed?"
While crossing out Erica's name, Chen Ang explained, "Erica didn't!"
Looking at the nervous doctors of Columbia and the cautious Danny, Chen Ang could only explain, "The star field corresponding to Erica was wrong! They miscalculated the time and failed to match the coordinates on the Art of Necromancy. "
Chen Ang showed the picture of the Book of Necromancy to them.
Danny asked anxiously, "What about the rest?"
Chen Ang checked again. "There are two coordinates, which were recorded incorrectly in the Book of Necromancy! Honestly speaking, pirated books are not good! There are still too many mistakes in this version. One more … The coordinates are wrong. That star field should be Boötes. Alpha Boötes is also known as Arcturus, and there are three planets orbiting it. It seems that some of the old gods or their families live here. According to the records, it should be Leiger's Star … "
"Yes, the third planet in Alpha Boötes' orbit is the main body of Roygel, one of the Great Old Ones. It's a gigantic lump of flesh with countless tentacles and a pair of disproportionate wings …"
Everybody's face was ashen …
Chen Ang suddenly added with a smile, "But it disappeared!"
Danny asked nervously, "What do you mean?"
Chen Ang explained, "According to the observation of gravitational waves, the planet suddenly disappeared three months ago. It caused the gravitational waves of Alpha Boötes … Experts suspect that it may have encountered a cosmic disaster. "
Three months ago …
The Soviet warship slowly passed by Alpha Boötes. In the void, a huge lump of meat the size of half the Earth was wriggling, with countless tentacles rolled into a ball. But it was just a piece of wreckage. More than half of its body had just been vaporized by a planetary destroyer cannon. But now, it was surrounded by a Soviet fleet.
The commissar looked fearlessly at the lump of meat that kept emitting crazy noises and sneered in disdain.
Then, eighty antimatter cannons fired together, annihilating all matter in this space …
"… That's it. No matter what the reason is, before the signal from the ritual arrived, the planet disappeared along with some unknown existence."
"Only the ritual the day after tomorrow …" Chen Ang mumbled to himself.
"Let me calculate!"
"The coordinates are correct!"
"The star map is also correct!"
