"Ten is here, then nine"
Ren Chuan glanced at Lanmos's painting, then turned around and ran to the second floor.
Ren Xiaoyao followed closely behind him, and the two of them came to the end of the corridor on the second floor. The ninth countdown mark marked by Lanmos was on the wall at the end of the corridor.
"It's just that Ren Xiaoyao and his father walk in the corridor every day, why have they never noticed a notch here?
Ren Chuan searched on the wall for a while and then revealed the answer to the mystery.
In fact, on the wall of this corridor, there is an oil painting left by the previous owner of this house. Although this painting is not a masterpiece, it is said to be more than a hundred years old, so Ren Chuan did not move it away at first.
However, they did not expect that the inscription of the number nine was actually on the back of the oil painting.
When Ren Chuan carefully removed the oil painting from the wall, the two of them saw that there was a Latin inscription on the wall: "novem".
"Look, I was right, the number nine is right here."
Lanmos's voice sounded behind them. Ren Chuan turned his head in surprise, looked at him and said excitedly: "Father! What is going on? Why do you know the mark is here?"
"Didn't you all see it just now? Because judging from the position of the five-pointed star, the notch will appear here."
"No! Why do you know these carvings can form a five-pointed star?"
"Is it because of the figure I saw?"
Suddenly, Ren Xiaoyao intervened in the conversation between the two people.
Ren Chuan and Lanmos both looked at him. Lanmos nodded and said, "Xiaoyao, you are right, it's because of that figure."
Lanmos then looked at Ren Chuan and explained to him: "Mr. Ren, on the way here, I already told you that the figure your son saw is actually not a human being, but a demon. The yellow one Eyes, generally speaking, are one of the signs by which we can identify demons.¡±
"When it comes to demons, we have to mention the five-pointed star."
"Pentagram?" Ren Chuan murmured.
Lanmos nodded, and it was at this time that Ren Xiaoyao noticed that the original drunkenness on Lanmos's face had completely disappeared.
"You are from China, so you may not know that the five-pointed star is actually a special symbol in our teachings and is the sign of the devil."
"The sign of the devil?"
"Yes, Mr. Ren, according to my judgment, there is probably a demon hiding in your house. And his goal is your son! Do you still remember the pattern on Xiaoyao's body? Those are the marks painted by the devil as a sacrifice to Satan. It will appear on your son, proving that the devil has targeted your son. And these marks that appear in your home now are the devil's countdown. This The countdown should be composed of two sets of five-pointed stars. A five-pointed star has five points, and two sets of five-pointed stars are ten, which exactly fits the countdown starting from "ten". And when the countdown ends, the devil I'm afraid he will appear from the darkness and take your son away."
"Devil?"
For Chinese people like Ren Chuan, the demons in the West are really unbelievable. After all, compared to demons, Chinese people are more likely to accept the existence of ghosts.
¡°But for Ren Chuan, all the evidence at the moment, as well as the figure Ren Xiaoyao saw under hypnosis, all proved that Father Lanmos¡¯s words were not false.
When people feel in danger, they are always more likely to accept many things, so after a while, Ren Chuan accepted the fact that there are demons in the world.
Then, he begged Lanmos: "Father, since you know so much, you must have a way to deal with this devil, right? I don't ask you to deal with this devil for us, as long as you can make us a family Just be safe."
"I came here today naturally for this purpose You come with me first."
Lanmos waved to them, turned around and walked towards the first floor. Ren Chuan was completely frightened by what he said, and he held his son's hand tightly and led him to follow.
The three of them came to the living room on the first floor together, and saw Lanmos picking up the painting he had just painted, and said to them: "Look, the countdown that appears in your house this time starts from ten and goes until Six forms a five-pointed star. And I judge that starting from the next five, the four numbers that have not yet appeared will also form another five-pointed star."
?After a pause, Lanmos picked up the pen and drew a circle in the pentagon in the middle of the five-pointed star connected by straight lines on the picture.
"I have just said that the pentagram is the symbol of the devil, and its true appearance is actually like this"
As Lanmos spoke, he drew a goat¡¯s skull in the center of the five-pointed star on the painting.
"This skull represents the devil, so, Mr. Ren Chuan, do you know what I mean now?"
"This" Ren Chuan still seemed a little confused and couldn't understand what Lanmos meant.
But Ren Xiaoyao is different.
"Uncle Father, are you saying that the devil is hiding in the center of the five-pointed star?"
Lanmos¡¯s eyes lit up and he looked at the eight-year-old child with some surprise.
"Yes, the place where the devil hides is at the center of the five-pointed star. If it were your home, it would be right here"
Lanmos pointed at the picture he had drawn, and his fingertips landed on the mezzanine between the second floor and the first floor.
"Speaking of which, there is actually a strange place in your home. I don't know if you have discovered it before. That is that this house has an extra meaningless space between the second floor and the first floor."
The moment he heard these words, all the hairs on Ren Chuan's body stood up.
Then, he said to himself in a low voice: "Yeah! Why didn't I think of it earlier? Obviously all the neighbors' houses have an attic, but our house only has two floors. It turns out that it is here. There is an extra space between the second floor and the first floor!¡±
Hearing his father's words, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly realized that it was in vain. In fact, when he first moved in, he also felt that their new home was a little different from the two surrounding houses. The stairs from the first floor to the second floor were also longer than those he had stayed in before. The stairs in some houses are much longer. It turns out that this is because there is an extra space between the two floors.
"Do you understand? The devil should be hiding in this extra space."
Ren Xiaoyao and his father couldn't help but feel a little scared when they thought that there was always a demon lurking around them.
They were also a little lucky at the same time. Fortunately, they were able to meet Father Lanmos.
Although they didn¡¯t get along with each other for a long time, the priest was right when it came to the strange things that happened in their family.
After confirming the location of the devil, the next step is to consider countermeasures.
In this regard, Lanmos also told them honestly that the demon was not a ghost, but a monster with extremely powerful evil power. With his ability, it would be very difficult to expel it, let alone eliminate it.
So now, he gave them two choices.
The first one is that he reported the matter to the Holy See and asked the Holy See for assistance. It's just that for this kind of thing, there would probably be at least a few days between the time he contacted the Holy See, the Holy See gave him a reply, and then sent someone over. During this period, he could not guarantee whether the devil would break the seal.
The second option is for Lanmos to solve the matter independently. He can find a way to use the marks left by the devil himself, and then arrange a seal to trap the devil in the seal in a short period of time.
During this period, he can find a way to contact the Holy See as soon as possible and ask them to send people to support him.
However, using the power of the devil to place a seal is not a simple matter. Once it fails, the devil may even appear immediately. By then, not to mention Ren Xiaoyao and his son, even he himself will be in danger.
Both options are almost extremely dangerous, but after weighing them, Ren Chuan chose the second one.
At this point, instead of just waiting to die, he would rather place all his hopes on this priest.
Without further ado, after confirming his choice, Lanmos immediately began the ceremony of arranging the seal.
But unlike the complicated rituals we imagine, Lanmos¡¯s so-called seal-arranging ritual is actually very simple.
He first asked Ren Chuan to find a way to borrow some chalk from the neighbors, and then drew five crosses on the edge of each scratch they found. These crosses were not drawn randomly. The position is just right enough to form a five-pointed star with the notch as the center.
When drawing these crosses, Ren Xiaoyao asked the priest out of curiosity: "Uncle Father, what is the significance of these crosses you drew?"
Lanmos glanced at him and explained with a smile: "Kid, I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have the power to deal with the devil. The only one who can deal with the devil is God. So I need to draw these crosses so that I can use the power of God. Arrange the seal.¡±
"The countdown that the devil drew in your house is both a deterrent and a preparation for showing up later. These marks contain the remaining power of the devil. What I am doing now is to use the power of God to remove the devil's The power is at my disposal to arrange the seal."
After Ren Xiaoyao listened, he nodded in understanding.
