It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

Before he finished speaking, he was pulled by the collar tightly. The short-haired girl's pretty face was distorted and hideous due to anger, and her black eyes gradually turned dark yellow. She suddenly exerted force and lifted Hyde up. .

"If you must ask such a stupid question, let me tell you, it's because I have seen it with my own eyes!"

Ling's strength was astonishing, the shirt made a tearing sound in her hands, and the joints that had turned white from the force pressed tightly against the boy's throat.

The part above Hyde's neck soon turned red due to lack of oxygen. He struggled, but couldn't break free from Ling, who was about the same height as him.

In fact, most wizards are weak in physique, but the tall and strong Adolf and the Mephisto family who are keen to strengthen their bodies with magic are obviously exceptions.

"Ling, let go, he's going to suffocate!"

Ella and Jack tried their best to separate them, but at this moment, brand-like words suddenly appeared on the back of Ling's hand, starting to burn her flesh. This is from Mephisto and Beru The power of the Sai family contract.

Ling let out a cry of pain, his eyes regained clarity, and he let go of his hand abruptly.

Hyde coughed violently and staggered backwards.

Ling apologized in a low voice, and then let Ella drag herself to the bathroom.

Ella forced a tube of blue medicine into Ling's hand, it was a tube of sedative.Different from the calming potion she often prepares, this potion has a stronger effect.

"Drink it!"

"Ella, I..."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"

Ling nodded, pulled out the cork, poured the liquid medicine down his throat, and then slid weakly against the wall and sat on the floor.

"What happened to you?"

"I'm fine, really... nothing."

Ling buried her face in her knees, avoiding her friend's sight.

Ella couldn't help being startled, hell, this is the first time in the past five years that she has seen Ling look like this.

"It's okay? You even showed signs of losing control just now. If you get rid of that state later, you will even become a monster!"

Aila raised Ling's head and looked at her, and found that Ling's mutated pupils began to slowly turn back to black, and some tiny, gray-blue feathers appeared on her cheeks just now, and as the potion took effect, they also appeared. They all fell off.

"Ever since Professor Gloria's class, I have discovered that as long as you encounter something related to ghouls, your spirit will become very unstable. Tell me, what happened?"

Ling opened his mouth, but the last thing he said was,

"Leave me alone for a while, just five minutes."

Aila almost felt her breathing was stagnant, and more words were blocked in her chest, making her feel stuffy, but she couldn't blame Ling either.

After a moment of silence, Ella decided to leave the bathroom, as Ling said, she needs to be alone for a while now.

When she turned to leave, Ling said,

"Maybe one day, I'll tell you...give me a little more time."

Ella stops, leaves the room after a few seconds, and returns to her chair.

"Hyde, don't provoke Ling on the topic of ghouls next time, or you can take off that ring and communicate with us."

Rarely, Hyde didn't refute. He just muttered a few words in a low voice, his eyes dodging a little.Probably Ling was quite frightened.

After 5 minutes, Ling left the bathroom, and had returned to the cheerful and outgoing look before.

Everyone ignored what happened just now, intentionally or unintentionally, and began to discuss this mission.

"Destroying the ghouls is not difficult, the question is how do we find them?"

Hyde was the first to raise this question, but since just now, his eyes have been a little dodged.

"The townspeople have organized several hunts, but they are just ordinary people after all. I think there should be strongholds of ghouls hidden in the rainforest."

Jack proposed to go to the rainforest to find clues, but there is still a part left. According to his thinking, he can wait until the ghouls attack the livestock again. With three executors present, it is difficult for the ghouls to escape as before.But the problem is that no one knows whether the next time the ghouls will attack the livestock or the townspeople, that would be tantamount to letting the tragedy happen.

Ella saw that Jack had other ideas, and at the request of the former, Jack also proposed this idea.

This is indeed more secure. Perhaps the troops can be divided into two groups. One team will go to the rainforest to find clues, while the other team will stay in the town to guard.But in this way, they will fall into the problem of insufficient manpower.

"There is another possibility."

Ling suddenly interrupted the formulation of the plan and raised such a question.

"Ghouls take human form, maybe they're hiding in this town."

Hyde glanced at her secretly, and said carefully,

"However, according to Professor Gloria, although ghouls have the ability to transform, their intelligence is not high. Can they really become townspeople and live here without being discovered?"

Ling was silent for a moment, but this time she didn't get angry. Hyde's doubts were reasonable, not a simple provocation, and Ella's sedative was still in effect.

"Professor Gloria is right, but those are ordinary ghouls. Some black magicians will turn themselves into ghouls through alchemy potions or other methods. They are completely different from those ordinary monsters. Even Even if I talk to you face to face, I won't reveal any flaws."

Ella suggested,

"Maybe I can draw some old seals that work against ghouls and get the townspeople or the sheriff of this town to help?"

Speaking, Ella took out some ground magic materials and a tube of mercury from the suitcase, and began to draw on the parchment.

After returning to school from the western United States, she learned several old seals, some of which were effective against this filthy creature.This is a good idea. If the townspeople have the ability to resist ghouls, they can search the jungle with confidence.At the same time, you can also find the ghouls hidden in the town according to the reaction of the old seal.

After drawing, Ella gave the parchment to Jack.

"This is the Seal of Helios. Even if it can't kill a ghoul, it can weaken that monster as it burns."

"...it might not work."

Jack took a look, then frowned, his expression became a little complicated, and even his eyelids twitched a few times.

"why?"

Ella was a little confused.

Hyde, who was not familiar with Jack, even suspected the identity of the contact person, thinking that he was worried about his reaction with the old seal, so he rejected this method.When he noticed that the old seal was completely unresponsive in Jack's hands, he withdrew the idea.

"Have you noticed the temple in the center of town?"

"Of course, it's striking."

Jack's eyelids twitched again, and his face turned pale, as if feeling uncomfortable.

"It's part of a local aboriginal religion... full of fanatics, old seals that might be taken as the stuff of heathen devils, this is not England, not only will we not get help, we may even be attacked by these madmen !"

Chapter 18 Summoning Ritual

Ling proposed a possibility,

"Hyde's ring can control the minds of ordinary people. Maybe we can control those fanatics and monitor the entire town."

This is not like a suggestion that a serious wizard would make, but Mephisto has been rich in dark wizards hundreds of years ago, which is probably the idea that Fred spread to Ling.

Have to admit, this is pretty efficient.

But Hyde shook his head,

"The spiritual power of fanatics is usually terrible, it is difficult to control them, and if they are discovered, it will be difficult for us to continue to stay here."

In the end, the result of the discussion only gave everyone a general understanding of the current situation, and did not draw a conclusion that could solve all the problems.

Ella wanted the skin and nails that Jack had found from the ghoul, and wanted to find out the approximate location of its owner through divination.

This is similar to her previous method of throwing silver coins into the carriage in San Francisco, but because it has nothing to do with her, the displayed results will be more blurred.

Ella lit two candles, one of which represented the leftover part of the monster, and the other pointed to its owner.

Hyde offered his own necklace as a pendulum.Any item with spirituality can act as a pendulum. As an alchemy item, the "Mysterious Gate" is even more effective than the common crystal pendulum.

"The location of the owner of this piece of skin."

After entering meditation, Ella asked softly, the silver necklace remained still at first, but soon began to vibrate rapidly, and deviated in a certain direction.

But at this time, something unexpected happened, the pendulum began to rotate greatly, and it was still unable to determine a certain position.

"Failed?"

This is often because the user's spirituality is insufficient, or the fit with the pendulum is not enough, but after changing the fortune teller to Hyde, the same result is still obtained.

"In this case, the result of the divination should have been disturbed. What Ling said is very possible. It is impossible for ordinary ghouls to do this. What we are facing may be a magician hiding behind the ghouls. This is also rewarding.”

Ella frowned and said that in this case, the difficulty of the task had exceeded the description, but the situation was still within the range that they could solve, and it was not to the extent that they had to apply for rescue from other executors.

What's more, once they request rescue, it means that their first mission has failed.

In the wizarding world, this means the decline of the Mephisto and Belusay families, and Ella, as a student of the executive Howard Yusef, her failure will also affect the reputation of the teacher.

Ella proposed to investigate the rainforest during the day when ghouls were rarely active, and return to Tangerang Island before dusk.She originally planned to investigate the animal carcasses that had been bitten by ghouls, but according to Jack, they had already been burned and buried.

Jack temporarily handed over the bar to the clerk, and led the way to the rainforest.

Although rare, after walking out of the "Dutch Fortress" bar, you can still see a few pedestrians.Ella could tell two distinct emotions from their eyes. When seeing her, Hyde, or Jack, the local residents saw flattery and a little fear in their eyes.But facing Ling, there was an undisguised disgust.

She posed the question to Jack, who didn't take long to answer.

"For these people, although we are all foreigners, you, me, and Mr. Belusay all have obvious Caucasian features, which are closer to the Dutch. They have been ruled by the Dutch for nearly 200 years. , Fear and flattery are the attitudes of most of them towards the rulers. But Ling is different. Many indentured Chinese laborers have come to the Straits Settlements over the years. In the eyes of the locals, they have taken away their jobs and are invaders.”

Ella felt very strange,

"Why don't they hate the people who enslaved them, instead of hating the workers like themselves?"

"Because they dare not."

Ling's face became a little ugly again, but she quickly adjusted.

Passing through the fence behind Tangerang Town, you will find the forest on the island. The road in the forest is very rough and difficult, which is fundamentally different from the forest in Glamis Manor.

They are not ornamental plants to be pruned and tended to grow at someone else's will.In the rich vitality and moisture, they rob the resources they can touch, and grab every inch of soil under their feet.

Everything that the naked eye can see is covered by this kind of crazy greenness, green tropical trees, moss and lichens all over, bushes that are almost as tall as people, and rotten and wet leaves piled up on the ground.
