An infinite journey that begins at Hogwarts

Lucy turned to the next page. Except for the text on the first page, the rest were blank and yellowed pages.

Cedric stretched out his hand, "Can you hand it to me?"

Not finding a way to leave here, Lucy lost her way and handed the notebook to Cedric again. After all, this was what he had found.

After getting the note, Cedric carefully observed the Void Hound prayer ritual array drawn on it. According to the book, this Void Hound can enjoy the sacrifice and be given extraordinary power at a special time, which is enough to make people think... Cedric is interested in using all his power in the outside world.

There is no honorific name, so there is a high probability that it is not a god. Does the Void Hound refer to a race or some kind of concrete rule?

The prayer ceremony above is divided into two parts: the base and the symbol. It is a typical dualistic ritual array. The base is an equilateral triangle that represents the positive side of all things. A horizontal line is drawn on it, which can point to the sky. Of course, the void is also A piece of tin-iron alloy needs to be placed on a part of the sky above the horizontal line. It is the symbol of the Void Hound, and there are also corresponding prayers.

A prayer ritual that beginners can understand at a glance, Cedric commented, but the most important thing is the existence of the so-called void hounds. Thinking of this, he collected some vertebrae of wilderness hounds as the main material for subsequent attempts.

"You want to make the items above?" Lucy looked a little ugly. After all, one of the materials on it was baby blood, which had exceeded her moral bottom line.

Cedric explained, "Only a true alchemy apprentice would meticulously follow the alchemy array drawn by others and pray to a mysterious being. You don't even know the preferences and alignment of this mysterious being."

Hearing that Cedric was not planning to make the canine bone whistle according to the above method, Lucy felt relieved. She said, "Have you discovered any other secrets in this notebook?"

According to her hunch, this notebook will be the key to them finding a way out.

"Secret an incomplete ritual item and treat us as part of the ritual. I think this is the so-called secret." Cedric said.

Why did the old woman suspected to be the witch of the wilderness leave such an important book here? Why is this book called Dean's Horror Stories? Although this ritual is exquisite, it is not suitable for the alchemy of gods like Cedric. To a magician, it is like a beacon in the dark night.

"We are part of the ritual." After Lucy heard Cedric's prompt, horrific scenes appeared in front of her eyes. They were the guests who were slaughtered by monsters in this bloody hotel. Some of their throats were torn apart by wilderness hounds. , some were swallowed up by the wall of flesh and blood, and some were pulled into the unknown darkness by the Resentful Infant.

Her face turned pale, and she squatted down holding her head in fear. Obviously, as an ordinary high school student, she could not accept such a large amount of information for a while.

"What's wrong, Lucy?" Russell asked, holding his girlfriend in his arms.

"We are the protagonists of horror stories. The author observes our death in the shadows and then writes it into new horror stories." Lucy's tears kept flowing, mixed with foundation and mascara.

Beauty products in this era are not waterproof and can be sold after boys have learned the trick of dating by the pool. Cedric looked at Lucy's new smoky look with some surprise.

"You have a way to help us get out of here, right?" Scott's sensitive hearing allowed him to feel everyone's heartbeat. From the beginning, no matter what happened, the heartbeats of the four other people never changed, as if what was happening in front of him They take all strange things for granted.

Scott asked himself that he couldn't do this. Among the people he knew, probably only the werewolf who cursed himself could do it.

"We must at least help you find your classmates first before we discuss how to leave." Cedric said with a smile. In the face of real life and death, not everyone is willing to take risks for others.

For example, the two best friends next to Lucy shook their heads, "Can we go back to the previous restaurant?"

"I don't think so."

"Why is this not something we can participate in anymore?"

"Didn't you understand what I said before? We are now in the midst of a blood sacrifice ritual that feeds on human fear and death. Do you naively think that the owner of this hotel will allow us to leave alive?"

Cedric explained angrily.

"Have Ellie and the others been killed?" Lucy is worthy of possessing the blood of a witch. Most people would collapse after being stuffed with horror movies in their minds, but Lucy obviously calmed down after experiencing the initial fright.

"No." Cedric shook his head affirmatively, not only because of his connection with Medea and Hong Ji, but also because he understood the urine nature of these blood sacrifice rituals all too well.

"If we choose not to rescue the hostages, the other party is likely to let the hostages know this, and then use their despair and resentment as materials to refine them into new monsters, and use these monsters that were originally our companions to kill us, thus completing the process A ritual of revenge for sin.”

"Of course if we choose to rescue the hostages." Cedric rubbed the black cover of the book, "Then we will face monsters that have been summoned or refined. In the opponent's plan, one by one they will slowly die tragically in the hands of the monsters, and the hostages will She can also see this scene, and then the other party uses their despair and pain to complete the sinful depravity ritual. With two very low-tech rituals, she can actually slowly build this horror between the inner world and the outer world. Hotels, that’s the most interesting thing.”

So many people have disappeared on this road. The government's supernatural power research department actually didn't send anyone to solve the problem. It should at least be blocked here. If Cedric is not wrong, this road should exist in the conceptual countryside. Once a road meets a certain mechanism, it can be connected to any road on this land, and this road will be filled with large and small underworlds, some of which even Cedric will find dangerous and tricky.

And being able to exist between so many other worlds, and even complete this terrifying hotel that connects the inner world and the outer world, presumably the wilderness witch is just a gatekeeper-like existence, and the real mastermind behind the other world can no longer bear the loneliness. , I want to use this motel to test the rules of the world.

So in this era of the Extraordinary Dawn, they have already felt the loosening of some rules, and even used rituals to start accelerating the disintegration of some loose rules in the world.
