"Houdini?""
The legendary magician?"
In the United States, Houdini is also famous.As a result, when they heard Spike say his name, the expressions on the faces of the BSI people immediately became surprised.Agent Phil glanced down at the candle in the wooden box and couldn't help but ask, "So, what can this candle do, or is it some kind of magic prop." ”As the world's most famous magician, Harry Houdini is generally remembered for his magical magic."
Unfortunately, it doesn't have that effect."
Spike shook his head slightly at Agent Phil's curiosity, and reached out to take out the candle from the wooden box and place it on the coffee table."
And what can it do?"
Raising an eyebrow and sweeping the candle on the table, Amanda couldn't help but ask."
Psychic."
Spike curled the corners of his mouth."
Psychic!"
Hearing Spike's answer, Agent Zhou couldn't help but look at the candle in his hand and said with a cold face: "If I'm not mistaken, Harry Houdini hated the most during his lifetime was the spirit medium, and even now there are rumors that Houdini's death was poisoned by the psychic world. ”Harry Houdini had always been at odds with psychic mediums during his lifetime, and his professional training allowed him to uncover tricks that even scientists and scholars could not see.At the same time, Houdini himself is a member of the American Committee on Science, which offers cash prizes to mediums who can successfully demonstrate supernatural abilities, but the prize has never been accepted because of Houdini's contributions.Houdini was all devoted to the fight against psychics, and he even disguised himself in the company of reporters and police officers to infiltrate the psychic rituals of the mediums revealed at the séance.These actions made Houdini a well-known psychic nemesis at the time, but they also cost him his friendship with mystery novelist Conan Doyle.The creator of Sherlock Holmes, the author who created the immortal classic of the "golden age" of detective fiction history, is himself a person who believes deeply in spiritualism.The two became public antagonists because of their attitude towards psychics, and even Houdini's biography mentions that Conan Doyle wrote a letter in November 1924 declaring that Houdini "will deserve his guilt and will soon be punished."
And just two years after receiving the letter, Harry Houdini died just before his 53rd birthday."
History is called history because it is always in the mouth of others.""
Houdini himself or his entire life questioned the power of the medium, but that doesn't mean that what he left behind can't be used as psychic objects."
For example, in order to prove the falsity of the medium, Houdini agreed with his wife Beth Houdini that after his death, if possible, he would contact her from another world and convey a secret message that he had communicated with her before his death.For the next ten years, every year on Halloween, Beth held a séance to test the pact, until his wife finally abandoned the seemingly futile pact. ”"And this is the candle that has been kept burning next to Houdini's picture since his death for ten years, and under the blessing of continuous psychic rituals, this candle is contaminated with powerful spiritual power, and anyone who lights the candle can communicate with the spirit world through it.""
A magician who doesn't believe in the power of psychic mediums until he dies, but the candle left behind after death has powerful psychic powers."
Hearing Spike's introduction to the candles, Angela couldn't help but mutter."
So, how do you use this candle?"
On the other side, after listening to the historical origin behind the candle, Detective Phil couldn't wait to ask."
It's simple, just light it."
Compared to Spike's complicated past, the way to use candles is surprisingly simple.Reaching out and pulling out a box of matches from his pocket, he swiped one and lit a candle on the coffee table, accompanied by the faint light of the candle's heartbeat, Spike began to call softly, "Lankister Merlin, Lankister Merlin, please answer my call......
"Poof, poof—BSI Headquarters, Washington."
With Spike's call, an inexplicable sense of depression enveloped everyone's hearts.Under the gaze of Amanda and the others, the originally dim flame in the center of the candle began to gradually transform into a faint blue light.Then, in the light of the fire.A vague blue figure flickered before them.At first, the figure was a little blurry, but gradually as the candle flame danced, the figure became clearer and clearer, and finally appeared in BSI's office as an old priest.
“ohygod！”
Looking at the figure that appeared under Spike's call, Agent Phil couldn't help but exclaim.On the other side, Amanda and Detective Zhou couldn't help but glance at each other, looking at the shocked look in each other's eyes.Compared to Agent Phil and Angela, two agents who only joined the team.The two people who had experienced the Freddy incident on Elm Street were naturally even more shocked by the priest who appeared in front of them.In the light of the candle flame, the priest's figure flickered faintly.It slowly opened its eyes and watched as everyone in the office, especially Amanda and Agent Zhou, paused for a moment, and finally landed on Spike on the couch, a shallow smile on his somewhat illusory face."
See you again, Spike.""
Yes, Father."
Hearing this familiar voice, Spike looked up at the dark blue figure of the priest in front of him, and a complicated expression appeared in the corners of his slightly drooping eyes, and said with a slight teasing."
It's just that I didn't expect that when we meet again, it will be like this.""
Don't grieve for me, Spike, maybe the Lord has already arranged for this."
In response to the sadness in Spike's tone, the priest himself looked calm, and he bowed his head to draw a cross on his chest before replying."
Sooner or later, it doesn't make any difference to me, compared to these ......," said the priest, who looked back at Amanda and the others on the side, and said with concern, "I wonder if the people of Springwood Town were attacked by it after my death?"
”Although the priest did not say it, Amanda understood that what he said was worth killing him.Hurriedly shook his head and said."
No, in fact, the other party left Haruki Town after killing you, so you are the only victim in the pick-up attack."
