The sunlight falling between the trees was like bunches of golden ribbons, wrapped around Adam White's face, making this thin and pale face more solemn and solemn than ever before.
And in front of Dean, there was written in the envelope,
"What is Leviathan?"
"The great beast that was once persecuted by God and the gods."
"The fallen demon."
"One of the Lords of the Multiple Hells, Master of the Monks, Invisible, Immortal, and Infinitely Powerful."
Lord of multiple hells?
Dean thought about this title and the meaning contained in it, feeling an inexplicable panic in his heart.
"He lives deep in a world of hell and believes that the human world is disordered, human civilization is the rule of chaos, and hell is truly orderly. So, he tried every means to bring the order of hell to the human world, and used painful order to disintegrate chaos. "
"He secretly communicated with a human toymaker named Le Marchand, and created a large number of 'mourning boxes', which were scattered around the world... to collect human suffering."
Adam turned to the second piece of paper in the envelope, and an exquisite photo appeared on it.
Dean glanced at it and saw that the small Rubik's Cube in the photo was exactly the same as the "Mourning Box" he collected. It was gorgeous, exquisite and covered with golden patterns, but there were some subtle differences.
"Leviathan likes to explore secrets. The maze-like hell and the mourning box as complex and changeable as a Rubik's Cube all represent secrets and temptations and can arouse desires in people's hearts. And when someone unlocks the mourning box and touches the mechanism, The passage between hell and the world will be temporarily opened, and the iron hooks of hell will pierce the soul and body of the solver."
"At the same time, the hell monk came down from the passage and pulled the man who was suspended in the air by the iron hook and torn into pieces into hell and brought him to Leviathan."
Dean licked his lips, his eyes lit up, and the event progress slowly increased from fifty-five percent.
"At this time, Leviathan will begin to judge the soul of the solver."
"If the soul of the problem solver is strong enough and has the potential for deep desire and pain, then he will be drained of blood and re-infused with the blue blood of Leviathan, and his body and soul will transform into non-human beings and degenerate into The new Hell Monk.”
"Having an immortal body and immense strength, he can summon magical torture instruments from hell as weapons."
"Human weapons cannot cause effective damage to it and completely destroy it."
"This is the Hell Monk."
"In addition, according to my research, after being transformed, hell monks usually lose the memory of when they were human beings. For Levi, he confessed to following the plan and worshiping the soul. Moreover, the body perception will undergo fundamental changes, and when in pain, it will You will feel pleasure and happiness.”
"The mind also began to twist, and he was keen on torturing others and getting more pleasure!"
Adam covered his mouth and retched.
Because of fear, his stomach was rumbling, and his heart felt like a huge stone was pressing on it, making it impossible for him to breathe smoothly.
Inexplicably, those disgusting leather-clad men I saw in the Hell Room flashed through my mind.
it is true? Does that supernatural creature that old man William has been studying all his life really exist? !
The envelope continued:
"But not every problem solver will be transformed into a monk from hell. Most people's souls do not have enough potential, so they will be built alive in the walls of hell by Leviathan, become part of the building, or be sent to a monastery. , prayer room, thinking cage, reflection in personal hell, enduring both mental and physical torture, constantly providing pain to hell..."
"A monastery, a mental prison, a personal hell?" Adam looked at Dean doubtfully,
Dean nodded, "Yes, the general structure of Leviathan Hell corresponds to the internal environment of the Hell House we just experienced. And I have already asked clearly that the designer of the Hell House is your father. He is using This place is here to test you.”
"Damn this test, why have you been hiding it from me!" Adam cursed with a twitching cheek, and continued to look down. Sure enough, he saw a similar description and apology, and then continued to tell,
"Most of the people who are brought in who fail to transform into hell monks will be numb in the cycle of pain until their souls disintegrate and become worthless, then they will be turned into waste and thrown into the mines."
"But everything has exceptions. After some people were brought into hell, they neither became hell monks nor turned into scraps and wall bricks - they escaped from Leviathan Hell and returned to the world!"
"Just like the feat you just did through Hell House, but ten thousand times more difficult."
The event progress has jumped to 60%!
"And your grandfather, Dirk White, was just such an escapee from hell!"
"He was fully prepared before entering Hell, and he consulted historical documents and found a set of special rituals presided over by a séance table and a pentagram."
"He took the initiative and tried repeatedly to open the box of mourning and allowed himself to be taken into hell. Soon after, his relatives in the world used rituals to bring him back to the world from hell!"
"He was reincarnated from the dead!"
"After entering hell, the body and soul will immediately become inhuman existences. When returning to the real world, a new body will be rebuilt using the pentagram circle and blood."
"From the outside, the reborn Dirk looks just like a normal person."
"But in fact, he has two superpowers: blood-draining and skin-grafting. He is immortal and never gets sick. He has become a supernatural creature called a curser! A creature that steals the power of Leviathan but is not controlled by it. reptile'!"
hiss--
Seeing this, Adam gasped and stammered, "My, my grandfather is not a human, but a curse?"
"What a genius, you can actually figure out a way to escape from a hell world managed by gods." Dean admired sincerely, his eyebrows widened, and a lot of doubts in his mind were answered.
When he first met Adam, he felt that he was different from ordinary people. The light of life was dyed bright red, and the source was actually his grandfather.
Dirk White is equivalent to creating a path for ordinary people to become extraordinary.
Take the initiative to open the box of mourning and let the hell monks capture you and enter hell, where your flesh and soul will be transformed.
Then his relatives and friends in the world will launch a séance to help him escape from hell and become a powerful supernatural creature!
Of course, this road is far more dangerous and thrilling than the transformation of snake monsters and vampires, and it can be called "smuggling".
He continued to read the letter,
"Adam, is it clear? Your grandfather was a curser who escaped from the Leviathan Hell. After that, he got married and had my son."
"So, you and I both inherited part of the blood of hell in his body. Our bodies are superhuman, we never get sick, and we can heal our bodies and improve our health by absorbing the blood of animals."
"It's a pity that we can't do this... The cursers who escape from Leviathan Hell will bear the curse of hell and be wanted. The more they use the abilities given by hell, the more likely they are to expose themselves and be captured by the monks."
“The torments in hell are far worse than death.”
"I forbid you from eating animal flesh and ask you to become a vegetarian since you were a child, just to avoid triggering your abilities and to escape the pursuit of the Hell monks."
Is vegetarianism for life safety?
Adam lowered his head and sighed deeply, "No wonder I felt thirsty for blood when I killed someone yesterday. I thought I was mentally ill."
He continued to read the letter.
"But that's not enough. Your grandfather told me the truth a long time ago and guided me to study Leviathan and Baphomet to prevent the capture of the Hell Monks and the sneak attacks of their mortal enemies, the Nocturnal Species."
"And he left me without saying goodbye on my first day of college when I was eighteen."
"I can understand it too. As a first-generation curse disciple, he is very attractive to the hell monks and can easily trigger the law of convergence. He didn't want to implicate us so he left quietly."
"I just hope that Dirk White is still alive somewhere in the world."
Dean couldn't help but have a flash of admiration in his eyes.
"This family has stolen a bit of Leviathan's power and spread its branches in the world opposite him. It is really rare to survive for so many years."
…
"My research progressed step by step. I went to university, became a professor, married my first love, and had children. I was peaceful and happy."
"You know, the moment you were born, the whole world was shining. I swear to God, I will make you live happily like a normal person."
"This bastard." Adam turned his head and wiped his eyes, "Why didn't you ever tell me face to face!"
"But your mother, Aurora's illness changed everything." The letter changed. "The condition deteriorated rapidly. I watched her become increasingly haggard, like a rose that is about to wither..."
"I couldn't save her with all the conventional methods."
"But all those years of historical and occult research were not in vain."
"We all know that people cannot be resurrected after death. This is an iron law in the world."
"So, what if Aurora is no longer human before she dies?"
These words made Dean and Adam's breath hitch at the same time.
What does this history professor want?
"Aurora can't let me go, let alone you who are only a few years old. She can't bear to be separated by life and death from us."
"So after a long discussion, the two of us made a difficult decision together to repeat your grandfather's 'trial' - Aurora took the initiative to try again and again until she unlocked a box of mourning, followed the monk into hell, and accepted transformation .”
"While I was in the human world, I used the séance, pentagram, and blood prepared in advance to summon her back to the human world and reshape her body."
"In this way, she will become a curse disciple, her past terminal illness will be eliminated, her body will be restored to health and strength, she will stay with us, and the family will be reunited!"
"It's amazing..." Dean patted the stunned Adam on the shoulder, "Your father could actually come up with such a fantastic way to save your mother."
"But he didn't succeed." Adam narrowed his eyes hard and said sadly,
"I failed." It was written in the envelope. The handwriting was so hard that the pen core broke in the letter paper. "The last step in the summoning ceremony requires a lot of blood. According to the experience of my grandfather Dirk, not only It requires a volume of blood comparable to the weight of several healthy adults, which must also include a portion of the blood of a loved one and the blood of relatives with the same bloodline, in order to successfully reshape the physical body."
"I myself can provide the blood of my beloved."
"As for the blood of relatives... Most of Aurora's relatives have passed away long ago, and the only one who is related by blood is you, Adam. You were only a few years old at the time, but you also provided the blood of relatives in order to save your mother."
"The remaining blood volume was filled with blood bags purchased by the hospital."
"Everything is ready."
"We started the ceremony. Dark rays of light radiated from the mourning box, and ancient and mysterious songs came from another world. I watched Aurora being torn into pieces by the iron hooks of hell and brought back by the monks of hell. After the space crack. I couldn’t wait to call her name and pour the blood of love and affection on the séance.”
Dean raised his eyebrows, almost imagining the cruel scene.
"I felt a warm force coming out of the séance, floating above the table, outlining the bright red popping heart, and then the skeleton, slowly reorganizing the blood vessels and muscles outward... Unfortunately, halfway through the reshaping, everything collapsed into Plasma, she screamed in agony, being pulled back into Leviathan Hell!”
…
breathe…
Adam raised his head and looked at the sunlight outside the gap between the trees. He suddenly felt chilled and shivered all over.
Dean opened his mouth, but failed to say any words of comfort and continued reading.
"Aurora, my wife, I wanted to keep her healthy, but I ended up burying her in hell."
"What's in hell? Endless torture and pain."
"When I think about her being tied to the torture instrument, I feel so painful that I can't close my eyes even while lying on the bed. But the big mistake has been made, and there is no point in regretting it. I can only spend my whole life making up for it."
"Since that day, I have analyzed the rituals at that time countless times. Every step clearly followed the records left by my grandfather. Why did it fail..."
"It took me many years to come to a conclusion - I underestimated the wisdom of the hell monks. When they discover that there is a gap in the prison for prisoners to escape, they will quickly repair the gap!"
"This means that the seance cannot remain unchanged. One of the runes needs to be changed to create a new way to sneak from hell to the world in order to save Aurora..."
Inserted into the letter was a page with a pentagram circle painted with a large number of mysterious runes, as well as a drawing of the séance.
With Dean's current knowledge of mysticism, he couldn't see the subtlety of such a creation, but after taking it, the progress of the event quietly jumped to 80%.
This part of the information has become the highlight of William's secret research.
…
"One year, two years, ten years, twenty years... I have tried many times in private, but every time I have failed. For such a long time, I am not sure whether Aurora has been numb and broken under the torture of hell's instruments. The possibility of becoming waste in the 'mine' or transforming into a monk from hell makes me suffer every day."
"It's time to end everything. When you read this letter, I have started the last séance with the latest improved séance, a mourning box, blood collected over the years..."
"If I don't save Aurora this time, I will reunite with her in hell!"
"It's time for me to be with Aurora forever. Don't try to call me in a séance. Leaving the drawings is just for you to accidentally enter hell in the future and use it to save yourself. Think about the structure of the hell house, hiding on the outermost edge. The mine area is well hidden, and there is a certain chance that you can avoid torture."
"But it's too far away. Come back to reality, my son, leave Columbus, live a normal life, and continue the White family lineage."
"Be careful of anyone who pries into your research, they are all dying lunatics."
"Goodbye, Adam. Take care, our son."
——William White, Aurora White, who will always pray for you in hell.
…
Huh... under the big snow-white trees, the air fell into an uncomfortable and long dead silence.
All you could hear was heavy breathing and a pounding heartbeat.
He always thought that his father was ruthless and irresponsible, and all his indifference turned out to be for his family.
After a long time, Adam put down the envelope and sat in the cold snow, staring into the air with red eyes.
Adam's sunken eyes, towering cheekbones, and tightly clenched teeth reveal complex emotions of anger, sadness, and unwillingness.
He clenched his fists and stood up, looking at Dean hesitantly.
"Kenny, what do you suggest? What should we do next?"
He was not sure whether his rash summoning would break his parents' reunion?
Will it ruin William's plan?
…
Dean leaned against the big tree with a look of thought in his eyes.
Now the cause and effect of the whole matter have been completely clear.
All of this is William, a descendant of a curser, a father and a husband, trying to save his wife who accidentally fell into hell.
From hell to earth.
A séance table to cross.
Dean recalled the subtle feeling of using the dark realm of his mind to explore William.
Now he was certain that William was either dead or in Leviathan, an alternate dimension even further away than Midian.
As a result, the black area cannot be locked.
But did William White successfully reunite with his wife Aurora there? Did Aurora transform into a monk?
This most important of mysteries has yet to be answered.
"Plans always fail to keep up with changes." Dean said solemnly, "William's letter did not mention at all that he would burn down his home and fake his own death before carrying out the plan. His original plan should have been just to disappear."
"So Otis is right, there was 100% some kind of accidental change in the middle - someone captured William before he could hold a séance."
"And this person is also very interested in William's secret research, and even knows some of the inside stories. There is a high probability that he is among the sponsors Otis talked about before."
"We're going to find this guy."
After finding the other party, you can also understand what happened before William disappeared.
Dean patted Adam on the shoulder, "Let's go back to school. Otis should have gained something."
