American Celestial Master

Chapter 255, Golden Corpse

"Is this the Star of David?" O'Dell said hesitantly.

The Star of David is one of the symbols of version 1.0 of the Lord of Hosts, also called the Shield of David. It is said that King Solomon's ring had this pattern on it, and his ring could control and command various demons.

Because of this, the Star of David is very important in European occultism. In the Middle Ages, many magics, including black magic, included the Star of David. The 2.0 version of the Church of the King of Hosts denigrates all mysterious forces outside the church as devils. Nowadays, under the premise of the return of the extraordinary tide, many restricted areas have appeared in Europe, and various black magic and devils have appeared. In such events, the Star of David also appears frequently.

And this has also brought about a serious problem politically, that is, the resentment and persecution of the 1.0 sect and the people who believe in the 1.0 sect have reappeared. More than a week ago, a shocking demonic blood sacrifice occurred in Poland. An entire village and hundreds of people were killed. At the scene of the blood sacrifice, a huge Star of David appeared. After the incident, driven by anger and fear, some Poles bloodbathed the 1.0 church in Warsaw and killed its believers everywhere. Although the Polish government condemned it verbally, it did not take any action in practice.

Other European countries have also verbally condemned this, but have taken no practical actions. Because the same thing keeps happening to them. In European countries, the 2.0 sect is now confused with the 3.0 sect, but whether it is the 2.0 sect or the 3.0 sect, when facing the 1.0 sect, their attitudes are quite consistent.

But in the United States, things are changing more slowly than in Europe. Because in the United States, not many of the various ghosts and monsters that appear can be related to 1.0. So now, in the United States, anti-1.0 is still politically incorrect. The U.S. government was quite indignant about the countercurrent in Europe. In addition to verbally condemning the relevant countries, it also took substantive actions, announcing sanctions on some European countries and individuals and banning them from coming to the United States.

In addition, the U.S. government also stated that the United States is willing to accept immigrants of faith version 1.0 from Europe. However, after two ships of immigrants from Version 1.0 believers disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean, European Version 1.0 immigrants did not dare to come. But in any case, in the United States, it is still politically incorrect to oppose the 1.0 sect and associate the Star of David with the devil or something.

So Odell was still a little hesitant when he said it was the Star of David.

"It's the Star of David. This is a common magic circle. It can be transformed in many ways to achieve different purposes. Whether it is white magic or black magic, it is often used. But in America There is no record of using this kind of magic circle in the tradition. This thing should have come from the influence of the immigrant village that suddenly disappeared. Hey, they didn't come here to escape religious persecution in Europe. The lack of contact with other immigration points may be due to this." Wang Hong, a consultant from X school next to him, had no scruples at all on this issue, and what he said by "escape religious persecution" obviously did not refer to the Anglican Church. Or the Catholic persecution of Calvinists, but refers to the persecution of sect 2.0 by sect 1.0 that was prevalent at the time.

"If they really believe in 1.0, it would be understandable that they have little contact with other settlements. Maybe one of them was influenced by that altar, and then added some occultism from Europe... The method finally produced this result." O'Dell nodded. He originally wanted to say "black magic from Europe", but considering political correctness, he replaced "black magic" with "occult methods".

"Our school has similar methods from 1.0 collected from Europe. Including the orthodox rock puppet. We once wanted to use this technology to realize a low-cost automatic production line. However, in the end the cost was much higher than that of AI industrial robots. And it can’t be used to perform tasks with a little precision. Even if we go to the street to recruit a group of pilots who are high-flying, the work will be more reliable than this thing." Lin Qiusheng, who also came to the scene, also explained.

"Of course, otherwise, how could there be no story in Hebrew mythology about King Solomon sending rock puppets to farm?" Odell also nodded.

He paused for a moment, then asked: "Can you tell anything from this six-pointed star?"

"This is a transformation of the sacrificial circle. It shifts the target of the sacrifice to an object located at a certain corner of the hexagram. The specific corner is not clear enough, and some key places are blocked. , so I'm not sure. In addition, what we see now may be different from what the commandos saw after entering. I estimate that the six corpses should be in the six-pointed star. At the position corresponding to the horn, the one among them who is the master, that is, the guy who controls the hexagram and the sacrifice, who trained himself to become a corpse, may be in any one of these positions, and it is even possible that his Will can descend on any one of them at will, but he himself may not be here. In short, we have too little information now, and this is the only inference we can make." O'Dell thought for a while and said: "These. Is the thing valuable?”

"It is very valuable, more valuable than the ones we got before." Lin Qiusheng said, "They have great academic value, collection value and use value. The very strong negative energy in them is very important to some people."

"If we can get those six refined corpses, how much can you pay?" O'Dell asked directly. Everyone else in the command room also looked over.

"It depends on the completeness. If it is completely complete, I can give you 1600 ounces of gold for each one." Lin Qiusheng said, "If converted into U.S. dollars at the current price, it is more than million U.S. dollars. And you know, even if you have million U.S. dollars, You can’t really buy that much gold, and the price of gold relative to the U.S. dollar varies every month.”

As soon as he said this, Odell and everyone else's pupils immediately turned into brilliant gold.

O'Dell swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and then asked: "What if there is damage?"

"It depends on the degree of damage. If one or two fingers are damaged, but the limbs and facial features are still intact, 1500 ounces; if one limb or facial features is damaged, 1000 ounces; if more than two limbs or facial features are damaged, 500 ounces ounces, if all limbs or facial features are lost, 200 ounces; if it is simply broken into pieces, 50 ounces cannot be more."

O'Dell listened, paused, and then said to Lin Qiusheng: "Lin, do you know what the battle plan I originally wanted to adopt before you quoted me?"

Lin Qiusheng shook his head.

"This cave is deep enough, and the mountain is made of granite, which is strong enough. I originally planned to apply to my superiors for a nuclear bomb to clean it up. But if there is 9600 ounces of gold, who would drop a nuclear bomb there? Yes...we won't allow it," O'Dell laughed.

"Lin, do you have a way to capture them with as little damage as possible?" O'Dell asked again.

"Of course." Lin Qiusheng said while taking out a few pieces of yellow mounting paper from somewhere.
