Chapter Thirteen The Necronomicon
Danny still found Nick Fury, one-eyed dragon, and told him the news of the hand and meeting he had obtained in Kunlun. The three-dimensional projection of the one-eyed dragon sat opposite Danny, and he supported his hands on his chin, thinking about the information Danny brought with him with a serious expression.
After a long time, he said, "Thank you for telling us this. In fact, although it is not a secret to SHIELD, we did not expect that SHIELD's five fingers had such a origin. We did not expect that there was actually such a source for the power of the Demon Blade..."
Danny said seriously: "Shenhehui must want to sacrifice the Demon Blade blood. According to records, the Demon Blade's heavy light must be sacrificed with blood. If they are allowed to master the power of the Demon Blade again, the consequences will be unimaginable. The entire New York may be destroyed because of this!"
Nick Fury clicked the table and nodded, "If you want to stop the hand and the meeting, you need the help of two people!"
"One is the solemn. I told you that he is the master of the daring devil, the one who trains him with one hand. But there are some things you don't know. He is also the mortal enemy of Handhehui, the leader of the Ninja organization Innocence Society. Innocence Society and Handhehui are old enemies. He knows a lot of important information about Handhehui. Of course, more importantly, he wants to destroy Handhehui more than you!"
"If you can get his help, you will grab your hand and will be fatal!"
Danny said in a deep voice: "Without your reminder, I am going to find him. I may have guessed some of the first person you mentioned, but the second person has no clue... Do I know him?"
"Meet!" One-eyed dragon knocked on the table and said, "But you don't trust him..."
Then in the projection, Chen Ang appeared. In the photo, Chen Ang wore a hat and dressed in an ordinary manner, looking into the distance, as if staring at something.
"Ann Chen, you may not have heard of his name, but in the ears of special people... that is, ours, his name is widely circulated. He is the most legendary symbol of the field of investigators. In Japan, the United States, and Europe, the mysterious events he has investigated have encountered more dangers than you imagine."
"This is really a mysterious person, he is a legend and a mystery!"
Chen Ang’s archives began to appear in the projection. Danny noticed some bold small characters with sharp eyes, such as: Silent Hill Investigation Report, Mysterious Incident on Elm Street, Crystal Lake Camp Blood Case, Cult Sacrifice Behind the Texas Human Skin Case, Hannibal’s oral statement - Ang Chen Investigator Psychoanalysis, Briercliffe Asylum Investigation, Los Angeles Haunted House Blood Case, Mysterious Falls Town Abnormal Human Research, Columbia Golden Lake Expedition Diary, River Valley Town Cult Family Investigation, Kennedy International Airport Boeing 777 Passenger Aircraft Parasite Incident...
In the gap between dense investigation reports, there are countless ancient, full of Latin or hieroglyphs, Hebrew sedges and parchment books, countless complex geometric patterns of hexagons, circles, and rings, as well as mysterious marks like graffiti, mixed with oracle bones and complex satellite images on stone tablets.
Nick continued: "He is a truly outstanding master of mystics. He studied Chinese ethnology in his young age, and later he got a double doctorate in folklore and religious studies. He studied mystics at Cambridge University. At first he was just a researcher who was proficient in Eastern mystics. But during his time as an insurance investigator in Japan, he began to come into contact with a series of strange events. In the process, I can only say that his amazing progress, excellent knowledge and amazing adaptability made him uncontrollable."
"After being dispatched to North America, he soon became a master of Eastern and Western mysticism, especially in black magic and cult sacrifices."
"Maybe it was the numerous cults in the United States that gave him the corresponding practical experience!" Nick joked: "In the end, he chose to go to Europe and track down the base camps of those cults. He followed the ancient Silk Road and returned to China. We didn't even know what was going on along the way."
"But if someone can figure out the hands and a series of sinister plots, he will be the one who can tell me!"
Thinking about the conversation with the one-eyed dragon in his mind, Danny came to the hotel where Chen Ang was. After asking the front desk room number, he just arrived at the door and heard the person inside say, "Come in!"
Danny walked in, Chen Ang was reading a black book in his hand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Before Danny could explain his purpose, Chen Ang closed the book and smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you could come to the door so soon! It seems that someone reminded you..."
Danny nodded and smiled, "I have investigated Harold's whereabouts before his death. His death is likely to be related to a ninja organization called Shouhehui. This organization occupies a large area of New New York and even the underground world on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean. And Shouhehui's plots..." Danny informed Chen Ang of the clues related to his investigation with reservations.
Chen Ang nodded slightly and said, "Pick up the page of parchment you got in Harold's computer!"
Danny had prepared to take out a copy of the photo. Chen Ang took the copy and put on his glasses to check it out. He looked solemn and focused. It took him a long time to put down the copy and said, "This is the Book of the Dead, written by the crazy Arab poet Abdullah Alhasad in 730 AD."
"Of course, this is not the original. Although it is a parchment book, it seems that it is just intended to mislead readers and make them think that this is the version translated by Greek scholar Theodorus Flettas in Constantinople in 950 AD, because this version is written in Greek on parchment. But the star maps that record the positions of celestial bodies such as Jugs, Koss, and Charnos are full of misunderstandings and are too simple. It should be a copy of the republished by publisher Ardas Manutius in Italy."
"This published version was written by Mikhail, the Patriarch of Constantinople, declared that it was illegal in 1050 and burned it. It was based on the residual copy and edited and compiled, so it lacked star charts."
"There are less than 100 copies of this version, and it has been banned on a large scale, but I know that the University of San Marcos in Lima, Peru has a folio that may be the last Greek version. This parchment should be a retro manuscript from someone at the University of San Marcos."
Chen Ang returned the copy to Danny and said, "I think I already know what Shuhehui and Harold want to do!"
He turned his head and asked Danny again, "You said, there may be the magic blade made by the Yin-Yang family in his hand - Wudao?" He stood up from his desk, turned to look at the dusk scenery of New New York behind the floor-to-ceiling window, and slowly said: "The magic weapon and the magic blade have different magical powers. The magic weapon must be recast and heavy light, and the magic blade must be sacrificed for blood."
"Whether it is the Book of the Dead or the Demon Blade's Inaction, their common feature is that it requires sacrificial rituals to recast and summon certain existences. Most of these sacrificial rituals are very evil and require ritually killing specific targets at a specific time, in a specific place, in a specific way, and in a ritual manner."
"These ritual characteristics are very obvious, so... I need information on abnormal death cases in New York City within three years. I need to know that everyone who has disappeared in this city in recent days and everyone who has died. Within three months, whether it is normal, abnormal deaths and all missing cases, I need to see it!"
“I need a detailed map of the city, including sewers, abandoned factories and residential areas.”
"I need the organization behind you to monitor the movements of the staff and the association."
Chen Ang ordered Danny. Danny was silent for a moment before speaking: "I will contact someone to send you what you need..."
Chen Ang said again: "I need to borrow an observatory!"
At this time, Danny could no longer hold it back, and he complained: "Observatory? Why do you need an observatory?"
"Whether it is the Demon Blade Wudao or the "Book of the Dead" their power and the knowledge recorded require the cooperation of astrological signs. Whether it is the Three Gatherings and Twenty-Eight Constellations, or the zodiac equatorial constellations system, those cruel rituals require the cooperation of astrological signs in the sky, so the star map also reveals the secret of the corresponding ritual operation."
