Chapter 83 Summoning the Old Ones
"So, you came to me for help because you couldn't access other dimensions?"
In the secret basement of Linda's house, five people stood together in a circle. After listening to John's story, Linda knew the whole story.
To be honest, when she heard John's story about Zhang Yi's inability to open the dimensional passage through sacrificial magic, Linda even thought that Zhang Yi was an evil ghost crawling out of the border of hell.
After all, Linda had some contact with Mephisto in the early years, and she still has some understanding of the hell dimension where Mephisto is located. According to her knowledge, there are many people who cannot practice magic, but there are people who cannot connect to the hell dimension. It is almost non-existent. I am afraid that only people on the "blacklist" of the hell dimension can have such a thing happen.
But what is Limbo?
That is a high natural dimension led by the Lord of Hell. It is a place that ordinary people cannot imagine and comprehend. But to be excluded from the hell dimension and be on the blacklist there, one can imagine how terrifying Zhang Yi's origin is!
But this is just a hypothesis, because Zhang Yi made it clear that he had never been in contact with the Limbo dimension before, let alone the demons in that dimension, so from this point of view, the whole thing has fallen into a dead end. in.
Zhang Yi is also very curious about this. He has many special features, but they almost never affect the hell lords. The only known clues so far are that the dimension seems to instinctively reject him, as if it is specially set for him. Just like 'call rejection', any communication is unilaterally rejected by the other party.
The hell dimension is a particularly chaotic and unbearable place. The origin and experience there are probably much earlier than the earth's civilization. In that dimension, which is full of strange and dangerous forces, it will specifically block oneself. This represents The meaning is very thought-provoking.
It's possible that he was discovered by the lords of the hell dimension when he first came to this universe, or it's possible that because he has a completely different life experience from this universe, he can't pass the threshold set by Hell's Border.
There is only one most important question now, and that is whether the Limbo of Hell excludes Zhang Ye himself, or excludes all 'outsiders' like Zhang Ye from other multiverses.
Originally, Zhang Yi was planning to let Carla and Pietro give it a try. If they were unable to cast the sacrificial magic, it would prove that the border of hell was closed to all outsiders. And if they succeeded, it would mean that only Zhang Yi could do it. I have this problem myself.
But now, Zhang Yi had a better idea, that is, with John's recommendation, let Linda call out the devil she signed the master-servant contract with to question him.
Rather than making constant guesses, it would be better to directly find a demon from another dimension to have a face-to-face interview. This is definitely a better way for Zhang Yi and others.
After hearing Zhang Yi's request, Linda struggled for a while, and finally agreed under the great pressure brought by Zhang Yi and others.
Unlike John who was frightened, Linda was very scared in her heart, but she quickly adjusted herself. Perhaps because of the superhero Quicksilver, Linda felt that these people would most likely not hurt her. and own family.
But because the origin of the other party was so unbelievable that Linda didn't dare to delve into it, so she didn't dare to put forward the slightest idea of rejection, even if she really didn't want to have contact with this group of people.
"Okay, I will do as you say, but that's all. After you finish communicating, you must leave here and never come back here again. I have retired for a long time." Linda said seriously He took a breath and spoke.
"Of course, thank you for your understanding." Since Linda was very polite, Zhang Yi was happy to talk politely to her. After all, who doesn't want to hear nice words.
Sure enough, under Zhang Yi's polite words, Linda's attitude softened a lot. She silently glanced at John who was hiding silently in the corner, and then waved her hand to signal everyone to stay away, and she herself Then he stood in the magic circle.
Sitting cross-legged among the huge magic symbols, Linda raised her hands high and kept whispering some words that sounded like insects.
Zhang Yi and others couldn't help but frown when they heard this sound, especially Kara. She seemed to hear the buzzing sound of countless bees flying at this time. This extremely noisy noise pollution directly affected her. He couldn't help but cover his ears.
Seemingly sensing that Zhang Yi and others were in a bad state, John quickly opened his mouth to distract everyone. "Linda was Mephisto's apostle in the early years because a group of lunatics sacrificed her soul to Mephisto. It was at that time that Linda's attitude towards Limbo became worse and worse. ."
Hearing this, Zhang Yi nodded thoughtfully. "I seem to have some impression that she has fought against Ghost Rider, right?"
"Yes, there was no Midnight Sons organization at that time, and dark creatures were particularly prosperous on the earth, but that was all a long time ago. Later, Linda got her soul back and fell out with Mephisto. ." John said sarcastically.
"I understand, the reason why she believed in the Old Ones was because she was worried that Mephisto would take revenge on her one day, right?" Zhang Yi glanced at Linda who was constantly chanting a spell, and said slowly. "Has she never thought that she has just stepped out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den?"
"There is no way. Once you practice black magic, you can never go back, especially for a wizard like her who has had deep contact with the border of hell. Mephisto is not a kind person. If Linda hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid Her fate is no different from Martin's, by the way, do you know Martin?"
"Which Martin?" Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment.
"The guy known as the Master of Hell. He sold his soul and signed a contract with Mephisto in the early years, making his whole body a 'lodging' place for demons. His body can also open the connection to the hell dimension. The passage allows demons from hell to come to earth."
"I seem to have some impression." Zhang Yi searched his memory carefully, and it seemed that there was indeed such a super villain in the comics.
While everyone was talking about these things, a slight shaking in the surrounding environment immediately caused Zhang Yi and others to turn their attention to Linda.
At this time, Linda's spell had come to an end. On the ceiling of the basement, dense spider web-like cracks appeared on the wall, and these marks gradually tore apart, and the broken ceiling gradually moved upward at a rapid speed. 'Fall' away.
It was as if a huge hole had been opened in the dimension of reality. In an instant, a terrifying oppression enveloped everyone present!
