Chen Ang observed for a while. He felt that it would take some time for the two of them to fight to the death, so he turned and left. He followed the trail Madam Gao had left behind when she retreated.
There was still half an hour until the time of the ritual.
Madam Gao and her subordinates started to set up the ritual. According to the incomplete Necromancy Book, she first used the blood of the black goat to draw a pentagram on the ground. Then, she lit special incense candles at the five corners of the pentagram. She skinned the black goat and peeled off the goat's head.
Madam Gao drank the blood from the black goat's heart and draped the goat's skin over her head. Her eyes observed the entire warehouse under the black goat's eyelids.
The pitiful sacrifice was brought up. Two ninjas pressed down on his arms, forcing him to kneel in the middle of the pentagram altar. The sacrifice looked at Madam Gao, who was draped in the goat's scalp and looked like half human and half goat. He whimpered and struggled even more violently.
It had to be said that being a sacrifice was a technical job. In ancient times, the priests were the most knowledgeable and intelligent people in the civilization. It could be seen that being a priest was a technical job. Even in a bloody and backward civilization like the Maya civilization, the Maya priests had mastered advanced mathematics, astronomy, linguistics, medicine, and human anatomy.
That was the essence of a civilization. That was why the Maya priests knew how to use the correct and superior sacrificial methods at the right time and place to operate the secret ritual.
"At the very least, if it was done by the Maya priests, the goat's skin would be much more refined!" commented Chen Ang, who was quietly watching Madam Gao set up the ritual from outside the warehouse.
He looked at the goat's head, which still had some black skin on it, and observed the irregular cut. He curled his lips in disdain.
Madam Gao dipped her finger in the black goat's blood and wrote some complicated and strange runes on the pentagram on the ground. The runes were completely incomprehensible to humans. They did not conform to the grammar of any human language. They did not even seem like the language used to communicate with living beings. The runes were extremely ancient and mysterious.
In the ruins left behind by humans, there were bits and pieces of records about it.
"I wrote it wrong!" Chen Ang shook his head and thought to himself, The original version of these symbols is recorded on Pluto's moon, the Hydra. When the ancient Mayan civilization summoned the alien fungus Migo, they received some teachings. In many ancient books, there are also records of some of them. "
"Among them, the 'Necromancer's Book', as the culmination of all of them, recorded the various uses of these divinity symbols. But in addition to the Mi Go Clan, only Hydra has this knowledge. In the nineties of the last century, this evil organization conducted an investigation into the origins of their organization. "
"Their unmanned aerial vehicles have been to this satellite named after their organization, the Hydra. This was one of their birthplaces. When the scientists of Hydra named the planet's satellite, they named it after their organization, which shows the significance of this satellite to them. "
"Hydra memorized all the divinity symbols on the Hydra and obtained many of the technologies of Planet Yogs."
"In contrast, an evil organization like Hydra can rush out of Earth and find all the divinity symbols on Hydra, achieving what the author of" The Book of Necromancy "failed to achieve. On the other hand, the Hand Society can only hold the published private manuscript of the translation of" The Book of Necromancy "and painstakingly study the symbols that are full of mistakes in the translation."
"In comparison, the abilities of the two are worlds apart. No wonder Hydra could cross the globe, dominate South America, challenge the international order established by the United States, and infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D. Hand and the Society could only hide in New York and Japan as a small underground gang. "
Chen Ang sighed. Some evil criminal organizations could change the world and become famous all over the world. Cut off one head and grow another. What about the others? They could only sell grass, collect black money, and raise demonic beasts. It could be seen that the difference between the two organizations was so great!
Madam Gao, one of the leaders of the despised Hand and the Society, was still conscientiously devoted to the great cause of summoning the Evil God. She began to use extremely vague syllables that many human tongues and vocal cords could not pronounce. She recited to the copy of the 'Necromancer' over and over again, "Hear my call! Lord of the Endless Void! Star Shifter! Solid Foundation! Master of Earthquake! Terrifying Conqueror! Creator of Pain! Destroyer! Victor of Glory! Son of Void and Chaos! Guardian of the Abyss! God of Darkness! Lord of Dimension! Enigmatic Sage … "
Chen Ang once again held his forehead powerlessly and shook his head, "I read it wrong again! As expected, without me, they could not have summoned the Evil God! This is too unprofessional! You can even say the summoning incantation wrong … This is the summoning of Yog-Sothoth. It is not the summoning of Yog-Sothoth … "
Chen Angde walked out of the darkness and reminded them, "You're reading it wrong!"
Madam Gao raised her head in horror. Her face was hidden under the black goat's head. She shouted coldly, "Who is it?" The ninjas beside her pulled out their ninja blades and pounced on Chen Ang. Chen Ang threw a small coin-shaped disk on the ground. Then, the coin-shaped disk split into a ring in mid-air.
It quickly stuck to the ninjas who were rushing over. The ring emitted a small bioelectric current, attacking the ninjas' nerves.
The figures trembled in mid-air for a while before falling to the ground. Chen Ang slowly stepped past them and said, "At least you didn't tell the police who you are. At least the Hand and the Society has a clear-headed leader … But you still recited the incantation wrong. Of course, this is not your fault. After all, the summoning incantation is an imitation of the language of an alien, and the pronunciation structure of extraterrestrials and humans is very different. This is not something that can be learned with hard work … It requires talent. "
"Sacrificial rituals aren't something that people with low IQ like you can learn. You'd better stick to your guns! Occult crimes, summoning evil gods to destroy the world, and so on are too high-end. Let the Hydra do it! Your Hand and the Society should just stick to ninjutsu and sell grass! "
Madam Gao had lived for hundreds of years, after all. Chen Ang's sarcasm did not anger her. She said in a low voice, "The legendary investigator of the Japanese Yin and Yang World, Chen Ang!"
Chen Ang looked at the altar under her feet and could not help but shake his head. "It's full of mistakes. Fortunately, occultism is not science. Otherwise, a device with the slightest mistake in the circuit would be useless. Only occultism rituals have such a large margin of error." Chen Ang picked up the ninja's blade that had fallen to the ground. He dipped the scabbard in the black goat's blood and casually changed a few symbols.
Then, he walked up to Madam Gao. Madam Gao looked at him quietly and did not stop him from lifting the mask of the offering.
Looking at the terrified middle-aged man under the mask, Chen Ang seemed to have expected this. He nodded and sighed. "As expected … it wasn't you!"
Madam Gao was puzzled. "Didn't you come for us?"
At this moment, Luke Cage had also reached the warehouse. He hid in the darkness and eavesdropped. "I had my suspicions at first, but now I can confirm that the people who stole the real offering weren't you. The real offering was a young woman. This man should be David, who went missing a month ago. His birth astrolabe is very similar to the offering, but they're not the same. But it's not the same. I noticed this when I checked the information. "
"It's not hard to figure out that two people with similar birth astrolabes went missing at the same time … It's a scapegoat!"
"David was just Erica's scapegoat. Hand and the Society, who fell into our sights from the beginning, were also scapegoats for the mastermind. He let you get the wrong offering, but he already had the real offering in his hands."
"Who is he?" Another woman walked out of the darkness. It was a Caucasian woman. She was old, but there was still an amazing charm left on her face. It could be seen that she must have been a peerless beauty when she was young.
Chen Ang, however, just stared at her calmly. He was not surprised at all. No matter how beautiful she was when she was young, she was old after all. Chen Ang smiled and said, "You should be able to use the most flexible and most important finger in your hand! Although the Society has five fingers, the Murakami is too mediocre, the Fighters are too stupid, Sowanda is too incompetent, and Madam Gao is too ruthless. Only someone with the temperament of a real leader can lead this ancient criminal organization … "
Hearing Chen Ang's words, Alexandra could not help but smile contentedly.
However, Chen Ang continued, "Unfortunately, you're just the leader of a small organization like the Society …" Chen Ang looked at her and shook his head. "You're not that strong … That's true. If you were too outstanding, you would've developed the Society into an evil giant a long time ago. You wouldn't be like this. After hundreds of years, you're still a nobody! "
Alexandra's face turned green with anger. Madam Gao was slightly calmer. She asked, "You said that our Society was used by someone. In that case, who is the mastermind who is using us? "
Chen Ang just looked calmly in a direction outside the warehouse and said slowly, "Of course it's the person you've never thought of! It's also the person we excluded from the beginning! The Society thought that you were using him, but you didn't know that you were the prey of someone else … "
Chen Ang looked at his watch. It was time for the sacrificial ceremony.
In the distant horizon, there seemed to be a flame suddenly ignited, illuminating the sky with a crimson red light. The red clouds rolled, and the clouds seemed to extend countless tentacles. It was like a huge piece of meat, with many tentacles and mouths growing on it. Some creatures that looked like arthropods and shell-type creatures with dorsal fins or membranous wings on their backs soared into the sky from that direction and circled in the sky.
Chen Ang said in a low voice, "Now, the mastermind behind this is already halfway to success!"
Alexandra said with a serious expression, "Why is it only halfway? He has clearly completed the sacrificial ceremony! "
