Chapter 1846: The Madman's Journey (Twenty-Four)
"When I was studying at Kamar-Taj, I was most interested in mysticism and folklore. I read most of the books on this subject in the library and became proficient in Eastern and Western rituals of summoning gods and ghosts."
Helen pointed to a pattern drawn with blood on the ground. Eddie looked along her finger. It was an inverted pentagram with a sheep's head pattern drawn in the middle.
"This is the most common magic circle for summoning demons in the West. Look here. Don't underestimate this circle of runes. This is a special symbol that can mark the identity of the demon, which is equivalent to the demons' phone number."
"But Schiller is not a demon. Does he have a phone number?"
"Well, even if he has one, I don't know." Helen shook her head and said, "After all, if you can really make a phone call, why do you need to draw a magic circle?"
"What do you write here?" Eddie frowned and looked at the pile of complex runes written on the outer circle of the pentagram.
"The outer circle says 'Doctor, come here quickly. There is a lot of money, a lot of gold, and a ghost of a mental patient. There are hard-to-treat diseases for sale. The quicker the better. The slower the better. If you want to treat it, you have to hurry up.' The inner circle says 'Almighty Dr. Schiller, please think of a way to clean up this mess. I want to go home and sleep. Please, please, help me, help me, help me.'"
"Ahem, cough, cough..."
Eddie almost choked to death on his own saliva. He stared at Helen and asked, "Do you write the answer to the essay question in the name column during the exam?"
"What should I do? As you said, Schiller is not a demon, and I don't know what his occult code is. I can only try this method."
Helen took out another pen from the pile of packages, and then used a The tail of the pen was tied with a fishing line and hung on the ceiling. She said, "This is a ritual of summoning gods from the East. It is said that the summoned spirit can be attached to the pen."
"And this." Helen took out a plate and a slate and said, "These are all tools for summoning gods, and the method of use is very simple. Just put them there and chant the spell."
"But considering that we use a lot of methods, the spell will be chanted together later. I will put the offerings on first."
Helen began to rummage in the shopping bag again, saying as she rummaged, "Summoning gods and summoning spirits all over the world require offerings, but I am not sure which cultural field Schiller's soul should belong to, so I bought all the offerings I knew."
"Asgard culture originated from the Vikings. For the sea people, livestock is very valuable, but we also offer the rarest and most delicious fish."
"Fresh livestock is hard to find, so I bought some frozen chicken wings. You can buy a whole fish in the fresh food section, but I heard that Dr. Schiller likes to eat sashimi, so I went to the Japanese food section to buy some salmon and tuna slices."
"In Eastern culture, fruits and cakes are placed on the tribute table, and incense is also burned. I bought Dr. Schiller's favorite orange."
"The supermarket doesn't sell Eastern cakes, but I've seen Dr. Schiller eat brownies before, so I bought a small piece."
"The Eastern fragrance is rare on the East Coast, and Chinatown is too far away, so I made do with two cigars, and as for wine, I used ordinary red wine.
"I saw half a bottle of Coke in the doctor's refrigerator before, and it might be what Peter drank, but I bought them together anyway."
"In Christian culture, God accepted the meat and fat offered by Abel. We already have meat, and I really couldn't find animal oil in the supermarket, so I bought a bottle of olive oil. I used this brand when I saw Dr. Schiller cooking before."
Helen rummaged through the bag again and continued, "In addition, no matter which country it is, the soul summoning ceremony must put the soul's favorite things when it was alive."
Helen evenly scattered the gold she bought around the magic circle, and then took out a stack of banknotes and began to scatter the coins in the room.
Finally, she took out a bunch of boxes from the bottom of the shopping bag. Eddie leaned over to take a look, but found that they were actually the superhero figures sold in the supermarket.
In the box was a complete set of Avengers family buckets, including Captain America, Iron Man, Spiderman, Black Widow, etc.
Helen placed the toy figures symmetrically in the center of the magic circle, then put her hands together and began to pray.
"Great, uh, uh... OK, Dr. Schiller, there is no need to be polite between us."
"To be honest, I have a problem that I can't handle. If you can hear me, please come and help me. If you can, I will ask my dad to increase the consultation fee by 20 points next quarter..."
Eddie slapped his forehead.
He looked at the messy magic circle on the ground and was speechless. To be honest, this didn't look like a cult ritual sacrifice site, but a bit like a second-hand market. It didn't look like it could attract demons or ghosts, but it looked like it could attract neighbors who couldn't get enough of taking advantage.
To be honest, once the pile of things on the ground were placed, Eddie was no longer cold, and his back was no longer cold. His heart and eyes were filled with the crowds of people scrambling for toilet paper in the supermarket before the disaster weather arrived.
Can this attract ghosts? Eddie thought in surprise, and at this moment he and Venom moved in unison, raised their arms, stretched out one foot and tapped the ground, waiting to see the joke.
Among the floating heads of the planet devourer in space, Schiller, who was floating in the air, now had only one feeling - what the hell was going on?
Originally, he was eating hot pot and singing, floating in the air happily, scaring Stark while watching him work.
The personality-changing ghost in the tower is indeed useless, but the biggest creed that Schiller believes in is that not everything in this world has to be useful, as long as it is fun.
The biggest disadvantage of ghosts in combat is that they have no entity, but when they are having fun, it becomes the biggest advantage. Schiller has no entity, so Stark can't hit him. Isn't this how to win the argument?
Stark has now personally experienced the revenge of the evil ghost. He is working here, and Schiller is giving him psychological treatment next to him. Let's do the treatment. Schiller is still flying around in the sky, drawing an S and a B.
Don't get me wrong, the "SB" here refers to "Stark Brilliant".
Stark was so angry that he broke three wrenches. Otherwise, how could Schiller be said to be planning revenge? He could spit out another one if he broke one gray fog.
Just when Stark decided that he could no longer bear it and exploded, Schiller suddenly stopped in mid-air and showed a puzzled expression.
Then he began to fly around without a track, looking here and there, as if looking for something.
"What are you doing?" Stark looked back at Schiller who was about to fly out and said.
"I seem to hear someone say in my ear that there is a lot of money and patients or something." Schiller looked around in confusion and said.
"Now, who is mentally ill?" Stark snorted coldly, but soon buried his head in work again. He wanted to take advantage of Schiller's quiet time to quickly finish the key part.
Suddenly, Schiller screamed, and Stark broke a part with a bang. He turned to Schiller and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Schiller stared straight ahead and said, "I saw a lot of delicious food, sashimi with mustard soy sauce, cola chicken wings, olive oil pan-fried salmon, orange mulled wine, brownie cake...all my favorite dishes, and I smelled the fragrance."
"You didn't turn yourself into a ghost, did you?" Stark squinted and said, "Where is there food here?"
"Wait." Schiller raised his voice and said, "I saw a lot of gold and banknotes just thrown on the ground, ownerless things, man!"
Schiller floated in one direction involuntarily, and Stark realized that something was wrong. He shouted in Schiller's direction: "Schiller! Schiller! Come back soon!!"
Schiller seemed to wake up in an instant. He shook his head and found that he was still inside the head of the planet devourer.
"What's going on, gray fog?" he asked.
"Not sure, but I can feel the subtle changes in the magnetic field. You know, quantum mapping and so on. I haven't figured this part out yet."
Suddenly, Schiller was stunned again. Many superheroes appeared in front of him. The scenes of Schiller and superheroes playing back and forth in front of him, including some superheroes who came to him for help due to psychological and emotional problems.
In these hallucinations, everyone is the kind of patient that Schiller likes most. In short, they are people who are full of contradictions and confusion but have a long mouth.
Looking at this dreamy paradise, Schiller floated over involuntarily, and didn't hear Stark's shouting behind him at all.
This time, it was the gray fog that woke Schiller up.
After Schiller regained consciousness, he said, "Is this the aftereffect of being a ghost? How come I can see the revolving lantern?"
After a moment, the noises in his ears became clearer, and he heard a familiar little girl's voice saying in his ear, "Doctor, if you can hear me, please come and help me. If you can, I will ask my dad to increase the consultation fee by 20 points next quarter..."
"Here I come!"
With a whoosh, Schiller disappeared, leaving Stark alone staring blankly at the air in front of him.
With a whoosh, a figure in a white coat appeared in the room and rushed to the altar that Helen had drawn, which was not much different from the one in the second-hand market.
The things on the ground did not change, but the color of the food became slightly darker.
After a while, Schiller finally came out of the ground. He looked at Helen with a little anger and said, "I didn't take it seriously when Loki said you didn't study hard before. You know you need to use coins for sacrifice, don't you know you have to burn them to be useful?"
"Of course I know, but this is real money!" Helen picked up all the banknotes on the ground with her nimble hands and feet, and Schiller, suffering from having no body, could only watch her pick up the banknotes and gold.
"You will be punished for lying like this!" Schiller shouted angrily, "I came here because I saw the money and gold!"
"Don't bluff, doctor, we all know you came here because you heard that the consultation fee will increase by 20 points next quarter, which is at least 20% of 300 million US dollars! Stark is bleeding!"
Schiller curled his lips after being exposed. After looking around, he pointed at the plastic figurines on the ground and said, "Then at least burn these figurines for me. They are much less troublesome than them."
"It is illegal to burn plastic products in New Jersey, and you have to pay a fine ranging from 500 to 1,000 US dollars."
"Then I think love is appreciation, not possession."
Eddie next to him looked around in confusion, not knowing who Helen was talking to. At this moment, Venom's voice sounded in his ears: "Oh, I forgot to adjust your brain waves back... Go away!"
The next second, Eddie saw a white ghost floating in the air.
"Ah!!!!!!"
The mulled wine is super delicious! Hiccup~
