Chapter 186 The Approaching Death

Holding the bird feather, Zhu Zheng was filled with emotion: "I wrongly blamed my uncle. He is actually a good man."

Pick up the magic book again.

After careful inventory, Zhu Zheng asked Helen to find a small piece of gold, a seal carving knife and several herbs unique to the town of Innsmouth.

At this point, the materials are finally ready.

But there's another problem.

He doesn't have enough mental strength to use magic.

In the immersive theater, Zhu Zheng's physical abilities are blocked and he can only use the power of the character card.

But Mr. Ackerman is just an ordinary person.

Although he is a professor at the University of Michigan, there is something magical about him, but it does not involve the supernatural realm.

After thinking again and again, he looked at Helen.

"Helen, can you cast this spell?"

"Ah I?"

Helen was a little unsure: "I don't know either, because I have never used spells."

Zhu Zheng encouraged: "Just give it a try."

Mythical creatures are born with the ability to use magic.

Helen was transformed through alchemy and possesses the blood of some mythical creatures, so it stands to reason that she meets the conditions.

"All right."

Under Zhu Zheng's persuasion, Helen took action.

To cast [Life Barrier Technique], you need to draw a ritual diagram on gold.

Helen tried drawing on paper several times before finally mastering it.

She picked up the seal carving knife, smoothed the gold side, arranged it into a palm-sized gold plate, and then carefully carved it.

Helen's hand was very steady.

Under the seal carving knife, a strange-looking pattern appeared, in the shape of a six-pointed star with several circles and triangles embedded in it.

Zhu Zheng promptly handed over the powdered casting materials.

Several materials are methodically placed within the pattern.

Helen sat cross-legged on the ground, spread her arms, and began to recite a spell in a low voice.

As the spell was recited, an invisible wave appeared out of thin air, and then Zhu Zheng saw the material powder melting like a liquid on the gold plate, slowly flowing along the pattern drawn in advance.

After nine spells, Helen suddenly reached out and took the feather and placed it on the gold tablet.

The golden tablet suddenly burst into a burst of dazzling light.

The light lasted for several seconds and eventually dimmed.

Under the power of magic, the appearance of the golden plate completely changed, turning into a faceless angel statue about the size of a thumb with jet-black wings.

The wings of the statue are almost the same height as the main body, making a protective posture with curled wings.

Picking up the statue, Helen's face showed joy.

"Great, a success!"

"You can activate the spell by dripping your own blood on the faceless head."

Handing the statue to Zhu Zheng, she stood up from the ground.

But Helen's center of gravity was obviously unstable, and she barely managed to steady herself by holding on to the table next to her.

And there is a faint dark circle around the eye socket, as if he had stayed up all night.

It seemed that performing magic took a lot of energy from Helen.

Zhu Zheng helped Helen to sit on the bed.

After another short rest, Helen recovered from the loss of strength.

She raised her head and glanced at the clock, with a bit of nervousness on her face: "The time is coming, I have to put the magic book back quickly."

Zhu Zheng warned: "Pay attention to safety."

After Helen left, Zhu Zheng was playing with the black-winged angel statue, preparing to activate the spell.

However, there was a knock on the door.

Helen had just left, and it would definitely not be her who knocked on the door...

Zhu Zheng narrowed his eyes and didn't pay attention at all.

The knocking on the door became louder and louder.

By the end, it almost turned into a door slamming.

"Come out, kid, I know you're inside. If you can, open the door."

The crazy voice belonging to the second young lady Ariel came out.

Hearing this sound, Zhu Zheng felt a headache, and he was not going to open the door actively.

After knocking for a while, the sound finally fell silent.

It seemed that Ariel knew that Zhu Zheng would not open the door and had given up.

Zhu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out the faceless angel statue again and prepared to complete the final step.

But the next second, the sound of a key being inserted into the lock cylinder came from the door.

"Damn it, it seems there's no way to avoid trouble."

Zhu Zheng looked helpless.

He quickly cleaned up the remaining traces in the room and put the faceless angel statue into his pocket.

Just at this time, Ariel, who looked like Mrs. Bachi, opened the door and looked at him greedily.

"Baby, you are mine."

Ariel moved.

Her speed was almost too fast for Zhu Zheng to see clearly. Almost in the blink of an eye, her cold and smooth hands had already attached to Zhu Zheng's neck, and she easily lifted her into the air.

The big hand exerted force slightly, and the familiar feeling of suffocation followed.

This feeling is very similar to the experience in the deep sea illusion created by the priest in the morning

But this time, Zhu Zheng truly felt Ariel's murderous intention.

Holding Ariel's big hand with both hands, Zhu Zheng used his last strength to shout: "Wait a minute. Aren't you afraid that Helen will cause trouble for you?"

Ariel's face was close.

His eyes were fixed on Zhu Zheng, his eyes showing the joy and intoxication that only an otaku could understand.

"I saw Helen leave your room with my own eyes, and she won't be returning for a while."

"Besides, if Helen and I get angry, the worst we can do is return you to him."

"Don't worry, I won't waste such exquisite materials like yours."

"I will make you into a doll, wrap it layer by layer in wax film, and display it as a figurine in my room."

"That way you can always stay with us."

"Hahaha"

Zhu Zheng felt a chill.

As expected, no one in Sir Hunter's family is normal.

Amid Erin's maniacal laughter, her big hands exerted force, and the feeling of suffocation enveloped her whole body again.

"I have one last word."

Ariel looked at Zhu Zheng with interest, as if it was interesting to watch the other person's fearless struggle in the face of absolute death.

Zhu Zheng showed a helpless smile, and then shouted at the top of his lungs: "Butler Jin, I figured it out, let's start the treasure hunt now!"

In his opinion, this should be a trap set up by Butler Jin.

The purpose is naturally to force myself to hunt for treasure.

There are two main bases for making such a conjecture.

First, why has Ariel made such a big noise and Butler Jin hasn’t shown up yet?

Second, Ariel originally didn’t have a door key. How did she get her own door key in a very short period of time?

With these two obvious doubts, Zhu Zheng could guess the answer with his butt.

It was obviously Butler Jin who was behind this.

Ariel's face completely darkened: "Boy, even if my father punishes me, I will kill you!"

Almost instantly, the nails on Ariel's hands spread rapidly, forming weapons as deadly as daggers.

Holding Zhu Zheng's neck with one hand, he raised the other hand high and used almost all his strength to stab Zhu Zheng in the head.

The palms are getting closer.

The violent palm wind caused his facial features to become slightly deformed.

Zhu Zheng knew very well that once they penetrated his head, he would die instantly.
