The night, the full moon, the basement.
The pentagram hanging upside down on the wall exuded an evil aura, and the candles lit on the ground were arranged according to the pattern of a formation, illuminating the entire ground.
An old man with white hair stood in the center of the formation, holding a dagger in one hand, chanting an inauthentic incantation in a hoarse voice.
"With my spiritual blood, sacrifice the aura of heaven and earth, with my body, call the spirit of protection, and with my sacrifice, obtain the eternal life of the gods" With the last word coming out, the dagger in his hand stabbed straight into his heart.
Blood gushed down the dagger, flowing down his body to the ground, slowly submerging all the formation lines.
Around the formation, there were about a dozen people, leaning down at the same time, and muttering, "The blood sacrifice gods are protected, and the gods are blessed for all generations."
As time went on, the old man's blood in the middle had gradually dried up.
However, his body did not fall, but remained in a standing position.
His eyes did not lose their sparkle, but grew brighter in the darkness.
It's just that in this brightness, there is more and more of an evil.
Suddenly, the entire formation lit up slightly.
All the candles on the ground were extinguished in unison at this moment, and when the light of the formation faded, the entire basement was confined to complete darkness.
Those who were lying around the formation, all their foreheads touched the ground, and none of them dared to move without permission.
Darkness and silence are like a demon that completely engulfs the basement.
Suddenly, there was another glimmer of light in the center of the formation.
A translucent spirit slowly rises from the ground.
The light around it was just right to illuminate the old man.
The old man's hand, which had been still for a long time, slowly raised again, and slowly pulled out the dagger on his chest.
The spirit floating above his head sprouted countless filaments, filling directly into the wound in his chest.
The wound healed quickly and quickly as fast as the inner eye could see, and the old man's face became more and more ruddy.
After the light of the spirit appeared, the people around them slowly raised their heads.
At this moment, they were shouting "hmm" in their mouths, as if they were cheering for the old man.
After a while, the old man raised his hands.
The voices of the people stopped abruptly, and they looked at the old man with a look of adoration.
The old man spoke again, "Guardian spirit, help me to live forever."
You've seen it for yourself.
Are you willing, follow me, and offer your sincerity to the guardian spirit?"
"Yes" these people around him, almost in unison.
The old man suddenly laughed, shook his arms, and stretched out his palms towards the scales.
The spirit above his head also flashed at this time, and then countless filaments suddenly wrapped around these people.
These people don't know why, when they are entangled in filaments, they still smile.
But soon, their expressions became painful and helpless, and the fierce struggle accompanied by desperate cries in the basement was slowly obscured by the darkness again.
I don't know how long it took, but a light came on in the basement.
The old man took a deep breath and spread out his palm, allowing the spirit to slowly enter his body from his palm.
Around him, there were a dozen completely twisted corpses.
"Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen.
There were eighteen people in total.
He Ruixiu stood on the steps of the entrance to the basement and first checked the number of corpses at the scene.
Eighteen corpses, basically in a circle, with different postures, died around a strange formation. ” He was holding a phone in his hand and was talking to Wang Qing'er.
"The psionic strength at the scene was extremely high, with readings of over 90.
The walls are painted with pentagram hanging upside down, and there is an intricate formation on the ground with a large number of white candles.
The formation pattern appears to be a groove, but there is a dark red coagulation inside, and it is unclear whether it is blood or not. ” "Stay at the entrance, don't enter the formation center at will."
Wang Qing'er told He Ruixiu, "Unless there are special circumstances, don't act without permission."
Wait there for me for about twenty minutes. ” Following Wang Qing'er's request, He Ruixiu stood on the steps leading to the basement without going any further.
He carefully took pictures of some details of the scene, and then slowly checked whether he could get some key fingerprints from the spot.

The steps in the basement had wooden guardrails covered with a layer of dust, and some of the newly printed fingerprints were clear.
But the footprints on the steps had been trampled and of no value.
This is the basement of a parking lot, and the main purpose is the outer computer room for circuit control and ventilation facilities.
Looking down the steps, through the formation map on the ground, there are two doors.
A door is marked with an electric shock symbol, and inside it is the core area of the circuit control.
The other door is marked with the words "Heavy Ground" of the machine room, which is the ventilation facility machine room.
The noise of large equipment is still coming out, and there is no stopping the operation of the equipment here because of the murder.
The case was transferred to the eighth bureau around 8 a.m.
It was the security guard of the parking lot who noticed the unusual situation.
After the security guard in the control room took over the shift, the new security guard accidentally found that the basement door was open.
In order to confirm the situation, he asked people to come here to check, and it turned out that the door lock had been violently opened, and there were strange patterns and more than a dozen corpses in the basement.
When they received the case, He Ruixiu and Wang Qinger were preparing to investigate a case of suspected ghost invasion and harassment.
In that case, an elderly man's home was turned into a mess, but there was no sign of being entered.
There was also psychic energy left at the scene, and the case was transferred to the Eighth Bureau after a preliminary investigation by another bureau.
About fifteen or sixteen minutes later, Wang Qing'er arrived here.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the basement steps, she stopped directly and called He Ruixiu in a very serious tone, "You come up first." ” Although He Ruixiu didn't know why, he knew that Wang Qing'er must have discovered something, so he immediately walked up until Wang Qing'er was beside him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Qing'er's expression was unusually solemn, "Call Li Ruofan and ask her to come over immediately."
This formation is weird, and neither of us can go down casually. ” He Ruixiu could hear Wang Qing'er's attention, and he didn't ask anything, so he called Li Ruofan first.
During the call, Wang Qing'er had already placed six spirit runes on the walls next to the entrance and steps of the basement.
Seeing that Wang Qing'er was busy, He Ruixiu opened his mouth and asked her, "What's the situation?"
Wang Qing'er said, "I used to see this kind of formation when I was learning art with my teacher, but I didn't study it.
At that time, in order to allow me and Li Ruofan to be proficient and prevent us from feeling rude and inactive, some of the content taught by Master was different.
This is also a strategy for the teacher, if the two of us can join hands, the strength will be greatly increased, and if one of the two of us goes down the wrong path, the other will not be helpless against her. ” Wang Qing'er paused for a moment, then looked at this formation again, "This formation is actually a formation method related to the guardian spirit.
Since the part about guardian spirits is not something I have studied, I can only identify it, and I can't be sure exactly what it does.
Li Ruofan's research on guardian spirits is very in-depth, and we must have her to join us in this case. ” "Guardian Spirit" He Ruixiu had seen a similar description in the basic knowledge given to him by Wang Qing'er, "You mean, the kind of special spirit that attaches to a certain person and protects this person" Wang Qing'er nodded, "That's right."
Guardian spirits are a type of plankton, but they are different from normal spirits.
This kind of spirit will not leave the person to whom it is attached, and the protection of this person is also achieved through the repulsion and repelling effect of other spirits, as well as giving the protected person some special perception, premonition and other abilities.
Procedurally, it is not a completely free spirit. ” He Ruixiu looked at the formation on the ground thoughtfully, "If this formation is related to the guardian spirit, then why are so many people dying, is it because these people have guardian spirits, and the murderer used this formation to make them lose the protection of the guardian spirit, and killed them all or that they wanted to use this formation to do something to their guardian spirits, and the failure led to killing."
"Let's study it after Li Ruofan arrives."
Wang Qing'er sighed lightly, "This case may be more complicated than we thought.
If it's just a person dying here, maybe he has some special thoughts or evil thoughts for a while.
But so many people dying here may have been organized or premeditated.
It is a troublesome matter to deal with organized and premeditated murderers. ” He Ruixiu said "um", "What is the situation at the scene you went to?"
Wang Qing'er said, "That scene is also a little strange.
It was the residence of an old man in his sixties, and he was usually the only one living at home.
Last night, he returned home and found that the house had been turned into a mess, like someone had burglarized and was looking for something.
But the strange thing is that " Wang Qing'er shook her head as she spoke, "The strange thing is that there is nothing missing in his house, including stored cash and some jewelry.
The preliminary investigation showed that there was no sign of breaking into the home, and all the places that were turned over did not leave any fingerprints or other substances, and we could not find any clues except that the spiritual energy in the home was very high. ” "And, we reviewed the surveillance video there.
The surveillance showed that during the period when the old man was not at home, except for the regular residents in the building entering and exiting the unit where the house was located, there were no strangers entering and leaving.
At his house, I carried out a magnetic wave examination, and in many parts, I can indeed get a large number of magnetic magnetic waves, and maybe I can calculate the magnetic spectrum.
As for the other more detailed understanding and examination, I rushed over before I had time to carry it out.
After all, there are eighteen human lives here.
So far, there has been no definite loss there. ” "Is there anything abnormal in the old man himself, such as having supernatural abilities" He Ruixiu thought of the situation of Wu as a case last time, and couldn't help but ask Wang Qing'er.
Wang Qing'er shook her head, "No, I tried, he's just a normal person." ” "Looks like things are really coming together."
He Ruixiu sighed a little helplessly, "What I'm afraid of is that the more cases that seem to have no losses, the more dangerous the precursors are lurking. i0 t1706231537:
