Chapter 3676 Evil Force (4)
Chapter 3676 Evil Power (XIV)
In a room on the first floor of the sanatorium, Schiller drew a huge magic circle with blood - it was not a magic circle of any system, but he made it up on the spot, but it looked gorgeous and complicated, and very much like the real thing - and the two Johnny brothers were helping him arrange the items needed for the ceremony.
Mephisto, who was standing aside dressed as Schiller, had an expression on his face that said, "What are you doing?"
Schiller caught a glimpse of Mephisto's expression out of the corner of his eye, and saw a little hesitation in his confused expression.
No, what kind of magic circle is this? Why haven't I seen it before? Mephisto's heart began to beat. I heard that Dr. Sosip just came back from the Vatican. Could it be that those birdmen have come up with something new?
Can this thing really expel me?
Mephisto certainly didn't know that this was made up by Schiller, mainly because the logic didn't make sense. A doctor from the most powerful mystical institution in the world, who had just brought back some academic achievements from the Vatican, and then came here to draw a made-up magic circle when performing an exorcism, this didn't make any sense at all.
Moreover, although the elements used in this magic circle are somewhat unfamiliar, they are obviously related to each other. There must be a set of logic in it, and it cannot be done by making up stories.
Seeing Mephisto's expression, Schiller could roughly guess what he was thinking. He smiled in his heart. This was not just a random fabrication. Even with his fabrication skills, he had to make a draft first, revise it several times, and then make a final drawing. In order to deceive Mephisto, this experienced and cunning devil, he spent a lot of effort.
Following Schiller's line of sight, the picture freezes on the fleeting look of uneasiness on the face of Mephisto, who is disguised as Schiller.
Eddie hit the space bar, crossed his legs, turned his chair and said, "Are you sure you want to keep this scene? Isn't the hint a bit obvious? If the audience guesses who is behind the scenes too early, it may affect the film's evaluation."
"It doesn't matter. Thanks to Mr. Nelson's perfect performance, everyone's attention is now focused on him. And if I don't give any hints, the follow-up will be very abrupt. It's better to play it safe and give some hints first."
"Okay." Eddie continued to check the subsequent materials, and then he had to admit Schiller's evaluation of Nelson - he was indeed a good actor, a natural.
The whole exorcism process had no special effects. Schiller did not ask Eddie to add those exaggerated light effects later, but the scene of the exorcism ceremony was very strange. Nelson first stood up in an extremely abnormal posture, as if he was being held by something, his hands and feet touching the ground, his waist arched upward, his limbs constantly swaying, trembling, and his mouth uttering terrifying mutterings.
Danny saw that something was wrong and was about to rush forward. Johnny reached out to stop him, staring at the figure in the center of the magic circle, then took two steps back, looked at Schiller and asked, "Is this normal, Doctor?"
Schiller looked solemn, shook his head slowly and said, "Obviously not. The power of the holy light could not gather in the center of the magic circle. Something interfered with the ritual. Not only did it fail to expel the devil in his body, but it stimulated..."
boom! ! !
Suddenly there was a loud noise upstairs, and everyone looked up. They immediately realized that the devil had attacked upstairs again.
At the same time, Nelson collapsed and fell to the ground unconscious. Danny, Johnny and Schiller rushed upstairs as fast as they could and saw the terrifying figure with long arms and legs again.
"Don't run!!!" Danny yelled.
The spirit of vengeance suddenly responded. The moment Danny rushed towards the monster, flames ignited and his whole body turned into a flaming skeleton. He leaped into the air, like a flying flaming arrow, and slammed into the monster's chest. The monster let out a strange scream, and its long limbs hit the wall hard, and it hurriedly ran out the window.
Danny finally got the chance, but he would not let him go. He raised his hand, and the chain burning with fire flew out of his hand, tightly binding the monster, and then threw it back with force. The monster rolled and hit another wall.
Johnny, who had just run upstairs, ignored the fact that his strength was exhausted, and forcibly entered the Ghost Rider state. He grabbed the monster's neck and looked into the monster's eyes with flames burning in his eyes.
In an instant, flames began to emerge from the monster's body. It waved its long limbs and struggled screaming, but it was of no use. It slowly turned into ashes in Johnny's hands.
The two men returned to their human form, but neither of them felt relieved. Danny shook his head and said, "It's just a puppet. We must find the source, otherwise there will be more and more monsters like this."
At this moment, Danny noticed that Schiller, who had just come up the stairs, looked a little strange. He wanted to ask something, but Johnny gave him a look and said, "It's almost dawn. We should take a break now to recharge our batteries."
After that, he took Danny back to the rest room. Schiller also went back to the room next to them. But within ten minutes, Danny came in through the window.
"Doctor, do you see what's wrong?"
"Yes. Logically speaking, there should be no problem with my magic circle." Schiller said confidently, "Even if I can't completely expel the devil's power, I can definitely limit him. But Nelson's condition has not improved, which proves that there is a problem somewhere."
"You said something was interfering with the formation. What do you think it was?"
"It's hard to tell. But just as I was about to take some action, something happened upstairs. This means that the devil knew we were performing the exorcism and wanted to interrupt us on purpose."
"That's right." Danny agreed with him and said, "He might have felt the powerful force of the magic circle and had to make some noise upstairs to attract our attention. It would have been better if we hadn't gone there at that time."
"If we hadn't gone over there, he would have attacked other people upstairs. Even if it was to protect ordinary people, we had to go over there. You did the right thing."
Danny sighed and continued, "In fact, Nelson should be the one who knows the situation best. But people who have been controlled by the devil cannot be trusted. They will lie, or they think they are telling the truth, but that is actually just a lie that the devil puts into their heads."
"No, I think there is another person who deserves attention." Schiller said, "Don't you think the owner of this sanatorium is a little suspicious?"
The seats on the right side of the theater suddenly burst into cheers. Stark spread his hands and said, "Finally, someone who understands is here! This is really cause for celebration. They should have noticed from the moment they entered the door that the most suspicious person is the owner of the nursing home!!!"
Schiller rolled his eyes slightly. Unexpectedly, Natasha nodded and said, "If it were me, I would immediately investigate the owner of the sanatorium. But this is definitely not out of professional ethics as an agent. It's just that you look too suspicious, doctor."
Stephen also nodded and said, "I was originally going to say that the protagonists seem a bit stupid. They didn't investigate such a suspicious target, but had to go find Nelson."
Peter was a little confused. He stopped chewing the cheese ball and asked, "What's going on? Who's suspicious? Are you talking about the doctor? What's suspicious about him?"
Stark slapped Peter on the back of the head, almost pushing him into the bucket of cheese balls. Peter coughed twice and said, "I don't see anything suspicious about the role played by the doctor. Isn't this quite normal?"
Hawkeye next to him sighed and said, "Since he appeared in the doctor's room before, something is wrong. A normal person, if he knew which floor was haunted, would definitely stay away. But the doctor ran to that floor and ran to someone's room when it was almost dark. This is suspicious enough. Not to mention, the cellar where Nelson ate the corpse was obviously not dug out in a day or two. Only the owner of the sanatorium has the ability to undertake such a large project. Moreover, during the exorcism ceremony, apart from the protagonist, he was the only one present. The ceremony was disturbed by something, who else could have done it except him?"
Critics also discussed the plot, but did not think it was old-fashioned. Most people were joking that Schiller was going to be a professional villain. However, some people said that Schiller's villain this time was a little lackluster. Of course, this could also be a disguise. How it will turn out depends on what happens next.
After that, the pace of the movie started to pick up. Dr. Sosip explained to Danny why he suspected Dr. Rodriguez, the director of the nursing home. Danny was a little hesitant, but he agreed with his opinion.
They formulated an action plan: Schiller would search for relevant information on the Internet, and Danny would try to break into Schiller's office tomorrow at noon to see if he could find any clues.
Of course, they found it. Because in addition to Mephisto's ability to use magic to enter and exit the office, Schiller could also use his own fingerprints to enter and exit, so it was easy to find evidence and put it inside - Schiller used the hell ashes that Mephisto brought himself.
A demon of Mephisto's level would not leave any traces. The smell and ashes were actually created by him to scare people. After all, if there were only monsters, the atmosphere would not be enough. Sometimes, some signs before the final kill can maximize the fear of humans.
When Danny found Hell Ashes in the office, he was angry and panicked, and found his brother again. When the two were discussing countermeasures, Schiller found them with a computer and said that he had found information about the nursing home and several owners of the nursing home on the Internet.
Among the information Schiller found, there were several points that seemed particularly suspicious. But the most obvious one was, of course, that since Dr. Rodriguez finished filming a certain movie, his daily routine and travel habits had changed greatly.
In the past, the doctor usually went out during the day and hardly left his bedroom at night. But since returning to the nursing home after filming the movie, he has been out at night and his schedule has become very irregular. In addition, the nurses and caregivers in the hospital said that Dr. Rodriguez seemed to be a little different from before, he was not as patient with patients, and the management of the hospital was a mess. These were all true testimonies.
After watching all this, Danny slammed the table hard, but Schiller laughed in his heart.
