Haunted Places Live

The solemn double-leaf black oak doors of the parliament hall slowly opened, and all the participants poured in silently, and soon upstairs and downstairs were filled with people according to different Holy See.Elders, archmages, priests, and acolytes are each arranged in the first floor, and behind them are seats arranged according to observation levels and positions in the Holy See.And the most forward position is the person who initiated the meeting - Antonio.Fang Qie's seat, there is an empty chair on his oblique side, which is reserved for some famous observers independent of the four Holy Sees as notaries, but this time it is empty.And there is a clerk's seat on the left and right sides behind him.In addition, there are many guards patrolling the castle and various areas of the island to prevent people who are not outside the Four Holy Sees from entering the castle by mistake.

Chu Yang and Lynch were asked to remain in the lounge and not to leave the room unless summoned.

Chu Yang sat on the chair, fingering the buckle of the cello case, feeling more and more restless.The meeting with Antonio just now made him terrified, and he felt that this joint meeting was more complicated and dangerous than he expected.Grandpa didn't mention Antonio in the door. Judging from the latter's age, he should not have become famous when grandpa was still in the meeting.But the way he talks to Lynch... Chu Yang is always worried...

And now the mask Chu Yang has obviously been exposed. If the secret that he is not this real person is exposed again, Lynch will be charged with "advertising with other suspicious people in reality" by Jin Xuanmin.

And Chu Yi... I hope Zhao Censhang can hide him well...

Lynch picked up the glass bottle filled with dark red wine from the tray on the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and walked to the window to look out while sipping.This place is facing the cliff, and the blue sea seems to be spreading under the feet, and the waves hit the jagged reef protruding from the water surface, breaking into countless white pieces.

"It is said that the reason why this place was chosen as the meeting place for the union of the four holy sees is because it represents a long time ago, in the Middle Ages, when the union of the four holy sees repelled a mysterious organization that tried to invade our reality. At that time, from that organization Countless monsters were summoned from the distant reality, bringing many terrible diseases, even the Black Death. Finally, those monsters were driven to this sea area by the Four Holy Sees, and they were finally wiped out. That organization and Today's Devourer is a bit similar, and they also want to use drastic means to promote a great fusion." Lynch's eyes drifted far away, and there was no sense of urgency in his tone, "But any such drastic means will end up in the end." It won't last long. Because the more violent they are, the easier it is for the Sequence God to detect, and then create a series of variables to eliminate these radical entropy threats."

"So the Devourer will also be wiped out?"

"I can't say. How can we mortals guess the mind of the gods who transcend all things. Last time our four great churches were regarded as guns in the hands of the gods of order. This time, who is the gun and who is the target, we all say not good."

"I don't care about those. What I'm worried about now is...whether the Great Elder also wants to get the Necronomicon." Chu Yang said in a low voice, not understanding how Lynch could be so calm, "Did he just threaten Us? Does he already know something?"

"Antonio is good at confusing people. Don't be easily influenced by him." Lynch poured another glass of wine and handed it to Chu Yang.Chu Yang took it hesitantly, but was not in the mood to drink at all, "Will your father come?"

Lynch was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't know. To avoid suspicion, he may not show up. Just like Zhao Censhang was also asked not to attend."

"You mentioned that Antonio was afraid of your father... But why did you dare to make things difficult for you this time?" Chu Yang still felt a mess in his head.Everything was so out of control, as if he had no control over himself or his future.It's like a person falling from a cliff, who can only scream and fall to the ground in weightlessness.

He has begun to hate this feeling of being lost.

"Maybe... they are tired of having a middleman like my father mediate the relationship between the four Holy Sees. Maybe they suspect that my father is hiding something from them. Maybe they are too eager to get the Necronomicon. But I know Antonio is probably bluffing. You and I should follow the original plan. Don’t be influenced by him.” Lynch walked in front of Chu Yang, knelt down, and looked up at him, “Since your grandfather can leave without a trace, we You have to believe in his ability."

At this time the door was opened, and a member of the Presbyterian Church told them, "The Great Elder is summoning you now."

Walking along the magnificent and tall corridors of the old castle to the door of the parliament hall, two waiters in yellow cloaks opened the two doors at the same time.In an instant, the rustling voices behind the door quieted down, and countless eyes fell on Chu Yang and Lin Qi.

Chu Yang still carried his cello on his back, trying not to perceive the dangerous aura floating in the air, and focused on making every step of himself walk smoothly.He is not like Lynch, who can take everything calmly. Before, even a man in gray stalking him could give him nightmares, let alone now... He feels that he has never been caught by so many pairs of unpredictable eyes. Staring, being scrutinized by so many human beings with strong observation ability, it is like being stripped naked, and even the internal organs can be seen through.

Obviously he did not commit a crime, but he always felt that he was being judged.

Right in front of the hall, Antonio, who was sitting high behind a square table like a judge, looked down at them, "Please state your respective identities."

Lynch: "I am the son of TheAdvisor Lin Qiao, Lynch. An investigator and evangelist of the Presbyterian Church, under Director Zhao Censhang." The clear and clear voice echoed in the crowded but quiet hall, open and frank, with its own strength.

Chu Yang followed suit and said, "My name is Chu Yang. Father Chu Lan, mother Bai Hui, and grandfather Chu Yu have both passed away. I am currently Lynch's photography assistant, and I used to be a cellist."

After he introduced himself, there was suddenly a burst of not-so-loud chattering around him.Probably because the identity he stated is too ordinary and does not fit the cool setting of the rumored "Master of the Necronomicon"...

Sitting on the right hand side and near the front are the members of the Presbyterian Church. Among the elders in the first row, he saw many familiar faces.The four elders who witnessed when they received the stigmata (except Zhao Censhang who was not present), and Alice, the director of the medical department who met at the Marianne Bray mansion, plus Jin Xuanmin and Bai Hongyu who were hostile to them .The remaining eleven elders have already arrived except for one who was unable to attend due to illness.Fifteen of the twenty great mages from the Holy Flame Department also came.And R'lyeh sent seventeen acolytes. The number of priests in the Chaos Temple was slightly smaller, only thirteen, but there were quite a few entourages.

The Great Elder looked at Chu Yang and said, "The Council of Elders does not have any records about your family, and the information about your family provided by your guarantor Lynch is also forged. Do you know that there are four members of your family who have joined the family?" Members of the Holy See or other observer organizations?"

Chu Yang said, "No. Even I only recently realized that I am a multi-observer."

There was another uproar.Observers who appear out of thin air, it is very rare that there is no one in the family in the Four Holy Sees.

"Please remember that if your testimony cannot be trusted by the majority of Level [-] observers present, after the meeting, we will request a search of your place of residence."

Chu Yang took a deep breath, and then said loudly, "Excuse me, in the Four Holy Sees, is it possible to search the homes of members for no reason just because you unilaterally don't believe it? Isn't it only when I violate the specific rules of the Presbyterian Church?" Do you have the right to search after the decree?"

The Great Elder's brows were slightly raised indistinctly, and there was an unusual silence at the scene.Probably no one expected that a small new member would dare to question the impartiality of the Great Elder and the Presbyterian Church so loudly.

Lynch raised his lips slightly.Chu Yang said these two words very loudly. He was obviously very nervous, but he did it on the surface. He deserved to be the person he brought up.

Lynch has been in the Presbyterian Church for so many years, and has lived in this ever-changing world for so many years, and he understands one thing, that is, the weaker you are, the more ruthless others will oppress and bully you .It's like sharks and wolves can smell blood.It was a bestial, bullying instinct.So the more unfavorable you are, the more you have to bluff, especially when the other party has some subtle fears of you.

The director of the law department of the Presbyterian Church said at this time: "You are right. Naturally, we will not invade your privacy for no reason. But if your concealment threatens the security of the original reality, we have to take very serious measures. Move. This should have been clear when you joined the Presbyterian Church."

Lynch said, "We are here today to help you understand the invasion of the Devourer. We must know everything. Please rest assured, Director Mueller."

Only then did the Great Elder continue to speak, "You are summoned today because a number of directors have asked you for information related to the Devourer, not a trial. I hope you remember your position and don't have any concealment." He finished speaking , then tapped it lightly with a mallet, indicating that the elders, mages, acolytes and priests could start asking questions.

The first to stand up was a female mage in her 30s from the Holy Flame Department, "Mr. Chu Yang, how many times have you met with that Chu Yang from the Devourer organization? Under what circumstances did you meet?"

Chu Yang replied: "I met him twice. The first time was in the parallel reality of Fuci Hospital. At that time, there were rumors of ghosts in Fuci Hospital. Lynch and I went to investigate the approximate reality. It was found that it had been seriously infected. There were signs of collapse. We heard the sound of a cello when we searched the realistic office of Dr. Xiao Yiquan from the Holy Flame Department. I searched for the sound and met him."

Female Mage: What did he say to you?

Chu Yang: He didn't say anything to me, he just ordered his men to kill me.

Female Mage: Why did he kill you?

Chu Yang: I don't know.

Female Mage: Did Mr. Lynch see him?

Chu Yang: No.Neither time.

Female Mage: What's the status of the second meeting?

Chu Yang: The second time was at Marianne Bray's mansion.Lynch and I were attacked by the Old Ones in Yosemite.In order to prevent the ancients from using me to activate the crystals of the ancients, he overused the star color and was seriously injured, so he had to go to Marianne Bray's mansion to recuperate.During Lynch's coma, another me appeared.He's trying to kill me and take my place in this reality.Later, he escaped because he was discovered by Director Zhao.

Pianist Elder Daniel.Pope asked: So the other you has a lot of hostility towards you?Why?

Chu Yang was silent for a moment, and glanced at Bai Hongyu: Director Bai Hongyu said that they guessed that in Chu Yang's reality, some people who were important to him, including Lynch, had died.He might be jealous of what I have.He said he was stronger than me and could protect those around me better than me.

At this time, the acolyte Lalye who had met outside the door suddenly said, "You said he tried to replace you? Then how do we know if you have been replaced?"

As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar.Another Priest of Chaos Temple also echoed, "That's right. I heard that Chu Yang the Devourer is a level five observer, and your rating is currently only four. If he wants to replace you, it will be easy for him to kill you. We How do you know that our real Chu Yang has not been killed? Do you have any way to prove your identity?"

Lynch laughed, "Did I hear you right? Now there is still such an anecdote that you are required to prove that you are yourself? May I ask this priest, do you have any way to prove that you are yourself? Besides, the Devourer was still He was expelled before he could do anything, and Alice also saw it. After that, Chu Yang hardly had time to be alone, and the other Chu Yang had no chance to do anything at all."

"In view of your relationship with Chu Yang, it is questionable whether your testimony can be accepted." The priest said with a sneer.

"Besides this, there is another thing worth noting." Jin Xuanmin stood up at this time, "Lynch's vitality was depleted so badly that even the director of the medical department saw it with his own eyes. Internal recovery? Mr. Chu, have you tried to heal Mr. Lin with cello music?"

Chu Yang knew that it was useless to deny this matter. After all, Bai Dian and Zhao Censhang had heard it with their own ears, so he confessed frankly, "I did try."

"Rather, you shared your own life with Lynch to help speed up his healing, didn't you?"

"...There is a possibility."

"The ability to share life cannot be achieved by any stigmata or ordinary Presbyterian spells. The only thing that can record similar spells is the Necronomicon. And it is not any version of the Necronomicon, but that book The most powerful and complete Yithian version." Jin Xuanmin narrowed his eyes aggressively, "How did you know how to use such a spell?"

That's the question everyone's been waiting for, and the real focus of today's meeting.

Chu Yang said, "I don't know."

"do not know?!"

"I really don't know." Chu Yang said calmly, "Those melodies appeared in my mind by themselves. I haven't read any Necronomicon."

"You're lying!" Someone in the crowd on the second floor suddenly yelled, like a stone thrown into the center of the lake, causing a wave of sound.

"impossible!"

"fraud!"

"He wants to steal the Necronomicon!"

"selfish person!"

"Haven't seen it? Did you come up with it yourself? Shameless!"

"Maybe he is the Devourer!"

The resentment and malice of countless strangers gathered into a wave, pressing down on Chu Yang from all directions.

This feeling is not unfamiliar to him.After the death song incident two years ago, there was a period of time when the Internet was full of curses and abuse against him. Strangers even sent him paper money, and even more people began to follow him, secretly took photos of him and posted them online .During that time, he only dared to stay at home and didn't even dare to touch his cell phone, as if the whole world hated him, cursed him, and told him it was his fault and he should die immediately.

So he failed to find out what was wrong with Song Liangshu in time.

So he failed to save Song Liangshu.

So he later attempted suicide as well.

Now that feeling is back.Endless malice and gratuitous hatred, just because of a "book" that even those people have never seen.Just because every single one of them wants it.However, the chosen person is such a cowardly and incompetent self.

"Enough!" Lynch suddenly shouted, obviously using a bit of his powers of observation.His voice echoed and spread, overshadowing all voices for a while, "He already said he didn't have it! Take ten thousand steps back, even if he has it, do you want to grab it?!"
