Chapter 1: The Death of Zhuang Mingge

Immediately afterwards, a woman holding a sleeping pillow emerged from a narrow crack.

Still ... ... nothing has happened

Deep within every individual lies a dream of martial heroes, yet it is undeniable that each person also harbors a dream of magic. Compared to the chivalrous heroes who uphold justice, Zhuang Mingge prefers the sorcerers who can summon the winds and rain.

Occasionally, he goes out with a few friends to socialize, sing, and exercise. In his spare time, he indulges in his own interests, and he has decided to use his own blood to inscribe a magic circle next time.

Even the most imaginative individuals cannot conjure a fantastical and extraordinary magical world out of thin air

The genius Merlin changed the status of wizards and even transformed magic

"How tedious you are, young man. Even while I am trying to sleep, I can hear your incessant rambling and roaring. How dare you disturb my slumber? Do you wish to die?"

Zhuang Mingge was curious; he never expected that his illiterate grandfather actually had foreign friends. Unable to contain his curiosity, he opened the notes to see the contents.

The notes do not contain a detailed account of Merlin's matters, merely a few brief mentions, yet the content within them leaves Zhuang Mingge feeling alarmed

So how did he manage it? No one knows

Even in today's technologically advanced era, there remain numerous unsolved mysteries, such as the Bermuda Triangle, the majestic pyramids, the curses of the pharaohs, and the legendary crystal skulls

Just as the laws of demons are referred to as magic, the power of demons is commonly referred to as ... ... magical power

In the blink of an eye, the calling time has arrived next month

The seed, condensed from the power of demons, will sprout as long as it is carefully tended to with proper watering and fertilization, allowing humanity to also possess the power of demons

After all, being all alone, if I were to miss out on such interesting experiences, the kind of life I would lead in the future would be too lamentable

Why does such an evil being receive so much applause and acclaim, even being referred to as a sage and becoming Arthur's teacher

To be honest, ever since he learned about things like wizards, he has been somewhat restless

Ultimately, the cracks disappeared, and the room returned to tranquility

The content on the notes pertains to some magical elements that transcend science fiction, and it took Zhuang Mingge several days to fully digest a portion of it

In accordance with the ancient covenant, www.hetushucomcom, all-powerful Satan, please grant your followers glory, open the gates of the demons, unleash the cheers of the demons, commence the demonic feast, let the demons roar, descend upon this sinful world, and paint this world with shades of darkness, open, open, open!

Zhuang Mingge's grandfather, who could not read a single character, naturally could not understand the foreigner's fluent speech. However, this foreigner spoke fluent Chinese. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the two had fought against the Japanese together and collaborated several times, becoming good friends.

We, the landlords, do not take his belongings; whatever belongs to him shall be returned to him

Those who are able to use magic are individuals who have made contracts with demons and offered sacrifices

People only know that starting from Merlin, the status of wizards experienced a significant elevation, and it was from that time that wizards were truly recognized as wizards, rather than being referred to as witches or warlocks.

The notes are somewhat incomplete, the paper has yellowed, and it is evident that they have been around for some years. However, the handwriting is very clear. The only thing that troubles Zhuang Mingge is that the script used in the notes is not in Chinese.

The woman glared at Zhuang Mingge, her gaze momentarily faltering, "Ah, has he already died?"

At first, Zhuang Mingge thought that these were merely slanders by the Church to maintain its own position against these unfortunate women, but in fact, it was not the case.

Originally, the magic circle was not intended to be removed; however, the smell of blood was too pungent. After some thought, Zhuang Mingge decided to clean it up, preparing to engrave it again next time

Well, this is yet another renowned existence, whose influence is so widespread that even Merlin cannot compare to a fraction of it.

It is not because one's ancestors for eighteen generations are pure Han Chinese, but rather the fact that an English notebook has been passed down as a family heirloom is quite peculiar, especially considering the content written in the notebook is exceedingly strange and bizarre

However, these are certainly not issues. As the top student of the first high school in Linhai City, Zhuang Mingge took only one day to interpret this English notebook

The problem has arisen

Whether in film and television materials or in novels and biographies, Merlin always appears as a wizard, garnering the cheers and adoration of the people. This is clearly at odds with the notion of wizards sacrificing humans to please demons.

It should be stated here that mhetushu.... comcom is ... . ... Do not think that Satan is a powerful being without a brain; he is much more intelligent than anyone can imagine

Prior to this, he continuously assessed the risks of summoning demons from this notebook. After receiving a definitive answer, he cast aside his hesitation and concerns, took a three-day leave from school, and began to inscribe the magic circle for summoning demons at home

The notes record that since the Merlin era, humans have summoned demons and forged contracts with them, no longer requiring any sacrifices, but merely some seemingly insignificant items from humans

The Holy See has not slandered at all

Merlin, our greatest sage, how did he manage to deceive Satan? The comparison is like that of the sun and dust, a completely unequal situation, yet Merlin actually deceived Satan

However, as time passed, people gradually forgot about this matter, and life returned to its usual calmness.

After several days of indecision, Zhuang Mingge decided to give it a try and summon the demon according to the content recorded in the competition.

That era is referred to as the Merlin Era

Are people deceived by his performance when he appears?

These offerings are varied and bizarre; some consist of animal entrails, others of human corpses, and even some are human souls. The larger the offering, the more it can please the demons, thereby granting extraordinary power beyond that of ordinary individuals

Summoning the wind and calling the rain, capable of anything

Thus, even though the sorcerer is immensely powerful, the source of magic is undeniably evil. Both divine authority and royal power do not permit such existence, and the sacrifice of living beings is an even greater taboo

Therefore, witch hunts are not slander at all. Although it cannot be said that most things related to magic are inherently evil, one unchangeable fact remains... Magic is, in essence, the law of demons.

Like a watermelon falling from a height of one hundred meters, it is simply smashed to pieces

Clearly not

If you could sacrifice one million people as offerings to the demon, and the transaction is successful, then congratulations, you have become invincible in the world

Zhuang Mingge had prepared everything early and skillfully completed the drawing of the magic circle, reciting the incantation for summoning

Red, white, everything is present; a neck without a head, blood flows out incessantly like a turned-on faucet

Even until today, after my grandfather's passing, he did not return the notes to this foreigner

What nonsense is this? It must be a joke, right? https://m.hetushu.com What kind of magic circle is this? It's a scam.

Is a fifty percent chance indeed too low, or am I just that soldier, with luck never favoring E? Perhaps I should summon once more

Magic

He is not a magician, but the notes record that on the day of the full moon, a summoning circle made of blood will open the gates to demons. If the ancient incantation is recited, there is a fifty percent chance of summoning a demon

This world is very mysterious

Ten minutes later, still nothing has happened

You are not wrong; although that slap may not mean much in the eyes of women, Zhuang Mingge felt as if his head had been struck by a speeding train, spinning several times on his neck in an instant, and when it collided with the wall, it burst with a loud thud

But not now

Is it that I am simply having bad luck today, or is the information recorded in the notes completely unfounded? Zhuang Mingge found it somewhat perplexing, but it did not matter; he decided to try again next month

Thus, Zhuang Mingge became somewhat Spartan

Most of the time, Zhuang Mingge spent his days quite peacefully at the academy

Like the street rats of today, they are the enemies of both theocracy and monarchy, and at the same time, they are the enemies of ordinary people. No one is willing to become a sacrificial victim in a muddled manner, offered up to the demons

Later, after the Anti-Japanese War ended, my grandfather's friend named Oulu was transferred. When he left, he forgot to take this notebook with him. Later, when my grandfather was preparing to return this notebook to Oulu, war broke out once again

According to the notes, magic is merely an abbreviation; the true designation should be... the laws of demons

The woman who spoke turned and walked back to the fissure, and through the crack, it seemed one could faintly see a palace on the other side, so magnificent that it rendered all earthly buildings pale in comparison

This notebook was left to Zhuang Mingge by his grandfather, Zhuang Bei, who was a veteran from the War of Resistance Against Japan. He received first-class merit several times and at one point held the rank of regiment commander. During the war, he met a peculiar foreigner, seemingly named Olo Hams.

Magic was recorded in ancient times in the West. Later, with the rise of the Church, magic was referred to by its representatives as the power of demons, which even led to the darkest and most ruthless witch hunts. Anyone who had an affinity for magic or any connection to it would face severe punishment

Only those humans who have signed a contract with demons and offered sacrifices are qualified to use magic

Satan https://wwwhetushu.com, the Lord of Hell, ruling over all demons...! ... the King!

A few days ago, when grandfather passed away, he called Zhuang Mingge to his side and carefully recounted the story of Ouluo and his matters, advising Zhuang Mingge that if he were to achieve success in the future, he should return the notebook to the descendants of Ouluo

A few days later, when the smell of blood and the stench of corpses permeated the air, the intolerable neighbors finally reported it to the police. Under the investigation of the authorities, a sensational home invasion murder case sparked a wave of attention in Linhai City

Fortunately, the full moon next month falls on a Sunday, so there is no need to take leave and raise suspicions

Therefore, at that time, the wizards and witches did not dare to appear openly in any occasion

I said to activate it, activate, activate, activate, activate, activate, activate...

With the early passing of his parents and the recent loss of his only grandfather, there was no one left to restrain the reckless Zhuang Mingge; in other words, he had become invincible.

Decisively failed

Under this thought, he purchased several bags of blood from the hospital, used the fresh blood to inscribe a magic circle, and after confirming its accuracy, on the night of the full moon, he recited the incantation in alignment with the moonlight

If it were not for the overly detailed content recorded above, Zhuang Mingge would almost think this was the rambling of a lunatic, a magic enthusiast, or a fanatic

He sat on the sofa with his legs wide open, staring intently at a notebook placed on the coffee table in front of him

With a sense of reluctance, Zhuang Mingge recited the incantation once more

The result left me dumbfounded

In other words, ... ... has failed

The book is complete

In the astonishing gaze of Zhuang Mingge, a slender and delicate arm, almost causing all women to be consumed with jealousy, reached out from the void and with a swift motion, directly sent Zhuang Mingge flying.

The American imperialists are preparing to use this as a springboard to attack the newly established Chinese government. In a fit of anger, Zhuang Mingge's grandfather severed ties with Ouluo and participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea to fight against those Americans

Nothing happened

In all records, Satan appears before humanity in a cunning guise. Even before the emergence of humankind, Satan had already become the adversary of Heaven and the ruler of Hell. If he were truly a fool with power but no intellect, he would have been destroyed by Heaven countless times already

In the eyes of many, it seems as incredible as an ant overpowering an elephant

If the content recorded in the notes is true, then the world that Zhuang and Tushuming Ge know has almost instantaneously shattered into fragments, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it has turned upside down.

Forget it, since you are already dead, I shall forgive you for the sin of disturbing my sleep. Ah, I am so tired, I might as well return to sleep a bit earlier

By the way, the incantation is entirely recited in English and has no relation to Chinese

Until the emergence of a genius

Whoosh

This thing is ... ...

If three days ago, someone had told Zhuang Mingge that magic actually exists, Zhuang Mingge would have decided to say to him, "It's getting late, you should wash up and go to sleep."

Throughout the long and endless years, Satan is evidently wise; his cunning and sagacity are unmatched. In his eyes, the schemes and deceptions of humanity are akin to the thoughts of a three-year-old child, shallow and laughable

Because he deceived ... ... Satan

It is English

Merlin is not a stranger to Zhuang Mingge; he has heard too many rumors about Merlin, the greatest sage of the West, the teacher of King Arthur of Great Britain, and also the greatest magician recorded in unofficial histories

After acquiring magical power, humans can master magic through learning, which is the origin of wizards

The silent moonlight, the silent person, and the equally silent room along with the silent magic circle

A magnificent event occurred; a beam of moonlight, seemingly condensed from the heavens, struck the magic circle. The radiance emanating from the blood instantly surged through the entire room like a tidal wave

From a human perspective, such injuries are clearly not survivable, therefore ... Zhuo Mingge is dead

His name is ... ... Merlin

Magic, demon, contract, magic circle

What they have obtained is no longer magic, but seeds

However, few people know that there is still something in the world that has been branded with the mark of "even with the advancement of science, it will never be unraveled" since the term science first emerged

Zhuang Mingge is currently somewhat conflicted about whether he should attempt to summon a demon, forge a contract, and obtain a seed of magical power

However, people firmly believe that with the advancement of technology, these unsolved mysteries will eventually be unraveled. The current unsolved mysteries are merely a reflection of technology not having developed to a level sufficient to解开 them.

If this is merely a prank, then the content recorded in this notebook is excessively detailed and astonishingly outrageous

The moonlight remains moonlight, and blood remains blood
