Chapter 1 1. The magic book purchased online turned out to be a fake
with blue sky and white clouds. The sun was bright red, like a glowing tomato.
In a building in a private community, a soft sigh came out:
"It seems that I bought a fake..."
In the study room, the young man sighed softly and flipped through the occult books purchased online.
The young man has a handsome appearance, with short black jade-colored hair that glows faintly. His big eyes are as clear as water, but his eyes seem to be as sharp as penetrating everything. His physique as he flips books is slightly thin, and his neck, collarbone and waist are all slender. He looks like a cold-faced top student from a comic book, but his bookishness is mixed with an awe-inspiring toughness.
On the table, on the cover of the hardcover book is a series of gilded book titles:
"When Occult Comes to Knock on the Door - Spells and Ritual, Incense and Crystals, Cards and Divination, a Magic Book for Beginners"
Although a little disappointed, But a boy named Russell may have to accept a cruel fact.
The collector's edition occult book he bought online from Taobao (original price 88 yuan, promotional price 38 yuan) turned out to be fake!
If you follow the above operations, you won’t be able to release magic at all!
In the past few weeks, in order to test the authenticity of this magic book, Russell tried most of the spells and rituals recorded in the book, and also deliberately purchased incense, cinnabar, talismans, crystals and other props.
Unfortunately, none of the spells and rituals in the book can stand the test of scientific methods.
For example, this magic book records a "transport ritual" that can give people good luck.
Russell threw the dice rolling data before and after performing the ritual into spss and conducted a significance analysis.
There is no significant difference.
Fake!
"Hey, the Tangtang Transit Ceremony can't even stand the test of significance."
For another example, this magic book records divination methods based on astrology and lunar calendar birthdays.
Russell found two good netizens and gave them divination for free.
Both of them said:
"This divination result is too accurate, it is exactly me!"
Russell was relieved now.
Divination is indeed fake!
"What I told you two were the divination results of another person. But you still think the divination is accurate?
" It can be seen from this that the so-called divination results are just ambiguous rhetoric, taking advantage of the Barnum effect to make everyone I feel like I'm describing myself. "
No way, Russell has a shortcoming, that is, he likes to be more real.
...
Back to the present.
"Hey, the magic book purchased online is actually fake. "
Russell sighed.
But even if he was deceived, Russell would not give a bad review to the online shopping store.
Who makes him too kind?
Of course, the main reason is: according to common sense, there is a high probability that a occult book purchased online for 38 yuan will Magic cannot be released.
For example, the Magical Girl Stick and Kamen Rider Belt purchased online by my neighbor are all fakes, and none of them can really transform. But instead of having any objection, my neighbor gets excited every time the goods arrive. Yelled.
After restraining the regret in his chest, Russell calmly looked at the hardcover black book on the table, his eyes became much more solemn, and he said silently to himself: "Sure enough, I
want to get in touch with the extraordinary world just by buying occult books online. It's still too whimsical..."
The reason why Russell bought occult books online and made the above attempt was not because he was a occult enthusiast. It was because
Russell possessed supernatural power.
Real supernatural power!
From a very young age From the beginning, Russell realized that
he might be the protagonist of a novel!
His fate always followed the basic principles of drama. As long as anything was related to him, it would be full of dramatic turns and ups and downs of development. The journey and the twists and turns of bizarre coincidences.
The last person who was the last to pass the exam became the first in the class, the enemies became each other's online dating partners, and the lovers eventually became siblings...
After being abducted, Russell sold the trafficker backhand, and the school bully kicked Russell out of the group the next day. Crying and begging Russell to come back...
He has seen too many low-probability events and vulgar plots used to create sudden dramatic changes.
As Russell gets older, the abnormality of the "drama man" becomes more and more obvious.
Russell goes out for a walk , can save a little girl from a fire. The fishing guy he met on the way home can be implicated in an inter-provincial drug trafficking group.
After conducting a lot of statistics and analysis, Russell is convinced that there is a statistical probability anomaly in him. Now
that Russell is 15 years old, this abnormal physique has caused trouble for Russell and his family, and they have to find ways to control it. There is no way,
there are too many pennants and trophies at home, piling up like a mountain. Report of "Little Hero Russell" , also attracted too many admirers. This made Russell very distressed.
Of course, the main trouble was that the dramatic anomaly also brought many dangers to Russell and his parents.
Russell's parents, who have been working abroad all year round, at the suggestion of their children, He only returns home once or twice a year.
The reason for this is to avoid being implicated in Russell's abnormal physique and involved in unnecessary dangers.
Orphan is a common attribute of the protagonist!
Moreover, Russell has long been an orphan. As
long as he can remember, It's in the orphanage. The current "parents" adopted Russell from an orphanage called "Starting Point".
In order not to become an orphan again, Russell has been looking for ways to control his abnormal physique for the past two years. .
He suspected that since there are supernatural phenomena in himself, there may be other supernatural powers in the world.
Perhaps under the calm water of the normal world, there is a hidden supernatural society with extraordinary people who know how to deal with various supernatural events?
Two months ago, Russell combined his past experience and various story routines to come up with an idea.
What are the supernatural elements that ordinary people are most easily exposed to?
It is witchcraft, metaphysics, and occultism! So Russell started from Taobao I purchased a magic book online and followed the instructions in the book, hoping to produce magical effects.
For others, it would be ridiculous to expect that "a magic book purchased online is real."
But Russell is the "actor".
The occult book purchased online by an ordinary person is actually a genuine magic book that can release magic!
How dramatic this is!
It sounds perfect as the beginning of a novel or movie, it should happen to Russell!
——Then there was the scene above.
...
"It's a pity that the rituals and incantations in this book are useless."
Russell stood up in front of the desk and turned to leave the room.
He suddenly stood on the spot again.
"Why don't you try the ritual on the last page of the book? You might as well give up."
According to the story, the "last one" has mysterious magic power.
The light chaser always falls at the last minute before dawn, and the seven-day limited-time bet is always completed on the last day.
The boy sat back down and turned the magic book to the last page.
What is recorded above is a demon summoning ritual.
He had not performed the ritual before because the catalyst materials required for the ritual were too weird.
"Light the black candle and watch the flames flicker;
"Use bright red human blood or demon blood to draw the magic circle on the wool;
"Place poisonous things contaminated with the devil's breath in front of the magic circle;
"While chanting the summoning incantation , you have to sacrifice a part of your body..."
In the evaluation column of the magic book in the online store, many customers have complained that the materials required for this ritual are too weird. - It's
as if the author deliberately made it up Ritual materials that normal people cannot obtain. Even if the ritual is completely ineffective, it can be argued that the readers used the wrong materials.
Looking at the materials described in the magic book, Russell thought about it.
The bright red human blood is a little troublesome to get. Is it possible to simplify it a bit?
What would be the food contaminated with the devil's aura?
Which part of your body would you sacrifice?
Wool is the easiest, but do you have to buy it specifically?
Russell thought for more than ten seconds and immediately came up with a solution.
He turned on his mobile phone and ordered a McDonald's meal, specifically noting that the fries should be served with ketchup.
...
Half an hour later,
Russell took the takeout at the door and ate the rest of the meal, leaving only the fries and ketchup. After
wiping his mouth clean, Russell lit the black candle and placed it in the living room, chanting the ritual incantation:
"The black candle has been lit, lighting up the path to the abyss. "
The candle was originally red, but the rigorous Russell painted the candle black with a black pen in advance.
Russell took out a pink children's woolen sweater from the closet.
This was worn when he was 8 years old. It is exquisite and small. Super cute.
After completing these steps, Russell opened the ketchup package that came with the fries, and used the bright red ketchup to draw a magic circle on the woolen children's clothing. "
Use the bright red devil's blood to draw this circle! "
——According to the ancient occult tradition, tomatoes are considered to be highly poisonous devil fruits, also known as "wolf peach". They are regarded as the incarnation of the devil and can be used as a medium to summon devils. Use tomatoes on woolen children's
clothing After Jiang drew a demon summoning circle that revealed filthy and evil connotations, Russell placed the sweater on the floor of the living room and placed the chips in front of the sweater. "Here are the poisonous and devilish scents
. thing. ”
——Potatoes contain poisonous solanine and solanine, and because propagation without seeds is too unusual, they have long been associated with witchcraft in occult theories and are known as “devil plants.” , "Apples in Hell."
The fries were still hot and fragrant, which made Russell greedy.
After completing all the above steps, Russell sat down cross-legged, facing the swaying black candles and the bloody magic circle. woolen sweaters, fragrant devil plants, loudly chanting the final summoning spell:
"In the name of my Russell, I summon,
"the dark entity of the extra dimension,
"the embodiment of desire,
"the weak devil of the abyss!
" I hereby offer 0.1 kilogram of my subcutaneous fat as a sacrifice..."
I hope the devil can understand the metric system after receiving quality education. Russell prayed secretly.
All the summoning spells were recited.
Nothing happened.
The living room was still dead silent.
We can only try that method again... Russell thought, deliberately made a contemptuous expression, and said in a disdainful tone:
"I knew that this magic book must be fake and useless! "
This sentence is a flag, which is the use of one's own "actor" physique.
According to Russell's experience, the more confident predictions about the future are shown, the more likely events will be reversed.
Similar sentences include, "hit. I will go home and get married after this battle." "There is only one person on the other side. If we all fight together, we will definitely win." "There is no chance of survival if you fall from such a high place." "It turns out it's just a cat. I thought the house was like a cat." There is a ghost in there."
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, a violent explosion sounded, and the strong smell of sulfur filled the living room.
The demon summoning was successful!
