Marvel Magic Event Book

Both Coulson and Natasha underestimated the impact of the prisoner's disappearance.In the early morning, when the jailer and judge discovered that their prisoner was missing, the situation took a turn for the worse. The church bells rang again, and a new round of witch hunting began.

This is also why Colson and Salomon walked down the street without being questioned, because these fanatical Puritans were hunting down women who appeared to be associated with witchcraft in their eyes and had no time to deal with outsiders—— But they just don't have time now. When they can't find the witch, suspicious outsiders will be the best target for them to vent their fear.

Coulson didn't find out about this until he arrived at the tavern, because the tavern was empty and the only drunkards who revealed the truth under the influence of whiskey.But Agent Coulson couldn't contact Salomon, so he had to rush back to the hotel (he didn't forget the wine) and contact Natasha urgently to get her ready.Because regardless of whether those fanatics would turn their suspicions on them, Coulson wanted to save some innocent people.

But this morning, when the two girls who stayed away all night returned to the town, they added another fuel to this unreasonable collective hysteria.Ann Putman and Elizabeth Paris woke Cotton Mather and Inquisitor Matthew Hopkins and described to them what had happened in the Glade the night before.It's just that their words were flashy and they changed some key points.

In fact, Ann Putman and Elizabeth Paris did attend a coven last night, invited by the founder of the coven in Salem, Kazia Mason.This bad-tempered old woman is over 90 years old, but her body is still as strong as that of a young person. Her face is haggard, fierce and ugly. She lives in a small wooden house in the middle of the woods and rarely interacts with the residents of the town. , because the locals thought she had gone crazy.And this old woman's invitation really interested Ann Putman and Elizabeth Paris, because they had long been tired of the Puritanism in the town and hated the clothes that only had black and white colors, especially Elizabeth Paris. , she was merely showing piety in front of her father, otherwise they would not have participated in Professor Tituba's voodoo ritual.

The symptoms of "devil possession" displayed by Mary Walcott did not frighten them, but made them increasingly believe in the existence of witchcraft. It was at that time that Kazia Mason came to them.In fact, the purpose of this witch inviting Ann Putman and Elizabeth Paris to the gathering was not to make these two girls witches, but to make them sacrifices to the man of darkness.

After Ann and Elizabeth received an invitation from the most mysterious old woman in the town, they followed her to the glade in the woods.As they entered the woods, the light of the full moon was blocked by the messy trees, and everything around them fell into darkness. In the end, only the lanterns in their hands remained the only light.With the dim light, some horrible shapes gradually emerged from the swaying shadows - those were some terrible, ugly shadows. These shadows did not sway with the light of the lantern, but watched the two girls silently. .They followed the footsteps of Kazia Mason's Mason and walked forward one step at a time. Ann and Elizabeth held hands tightly, for fear that they would disappear into the woods if they let go. However, the fear they had to experience More than these.

Following their footsteps, a small flash of orange-red light appeared in the dark distance. They continued to move along the road, and this warm light gradually dyed the woods with a faint red halo.Those firelights made the shadows surrounding them twist and dance, making them look even more dangerous and terrifying.Just before they reached the spot where the fire was, they saw a large tree by the roadside. The swaying light of the flames fell on the twisted branches, and it looked like the face of a huge Algonquian Indian youth growing out of the tree. out.He seemed to be looking into nothingness with empty eyes.The two little girls were frightened. They looked back, only to find that they had deviated from the road and arrived at a place they had never been before. The road behind them also disappeared. The only path was at their feet, leading to the light of fire. .

Ann Putman and Elizabeth Paris slowly approached, and they found that the bonfire was very huge, and the flames were shaking wildly. They heard a special kind of chanting, and the words chanted seemed to be impossible for humans to pronounce.The singing was very rhythmic, and the girls could feel that the inhuman pronunciation was attracting them. They continued to move forward with fear, and then they saw several black figures surrounding the bonfire, and the bonfire Blue, purple and orange flames flew wildly above, and a thick column of black smoke poured into the moonlit sky.Kazia Mason stood in front of the bonfire, and it was she who sang that eerie voice.

Seeing them walking towards the bonfire unable to help themselves, Kazia Mason chanted another prayer: "I?! I?! Shab Nicholas! The black goat of the forest that gave birth to thousands of descendants! Bless the daughters of Eve! Bless the daughters of Gorgon, Mormor, and the Thousand-Faced Moon! Be kind to our sacrifices! Great Messenger, One of Darkness! Bless your chosen children!"

Kazia Mason waved her hand, and two cloaked figures stood out. They were girls they did not know. The two girls took off their cloaks and stood naked in front of the bonfire. They tried to use their hands to He tried to cover his naked body, but in vain.Katzia Mason also ordered Ann Putman and Elizabeth Paris to do the same, but the two frightened girls refused to agree anyway, so Katzia Mason cast a spell to make the two girls vomit. After a few minutes, what they vomited out was not undigested food, but maggots.

This is real witchcraft, not useless rituals!

Ann Putman was so delighted that she immediately agreed to do it, and she asked Elizabeth Paris to do the same.So the two girls also took off their clothes, put their left hands on their foreheads as Kazia Mason instructed, and grabbed their right feet with their right hands.

Kazia said in a low roar: "Are you going to give up what is in your hands and sacrifice it to the man of darkness?"

The two girls answered: "Yes, I give up what I hold in my hands and offer it to the man of darkness."

Kazia drew a symbol on the dark ground with her finger, then reached her hand into the flames and pulled out a piece of charcoal that didn't seem to burn her.Kazia dropped the charcoal at the center of the symbol, then stood back and chanted with the others.Something seemed to have changed in the air, the temperature dropped sharply, and the firelight was surrounded by an unnatural halo. It was an indescribable color. Ann Putman could not prepare to describe the scene with all the words she tried.The two naked girls suddenly looked very frightened, as if they had just realized that everything they were doing was not as interesting and beautiful as the witchcraft game they imagined.

A figure slowly rose from the earth, as if it appeared directly from hell. The dark man came forward holding two burning wooden staffs.He was tall and naked, his eyes were sarcastic and his smile was full of folly.His skin was like pitch black oil, and his body proportions were all abnormal.He first approached Ann Putman and touched her head. As he did so, Ann seemed to enter a state of ecstasy. She seemed to be intoxicated by the feeling.The dark man was slowly sucking her soul. With this move, Ann became pale and sickly, and Elizabeth froze in place with fear.

Just as the man of darkness was devouring his soul, a huge invisible force hit the man of darkness. The man of darkness took a few steps back. Then the force struck again, knocking the man of darkness further away. Some, two burning wooden staffs fell to the ground, and the act of absorbing souls was interrupted.

The Dark One recognized the spell—the Fist of Yog-Sothoth.

He noticed a figure standing in the shadow where the firelight did not shine. The dark man laughed sarcastically before turning around and disappearing into the dark woods.Ann Putman and Elizabeth Paris, who had just recovered, ran into the forest screaming, and the other witches immediately put on their cloaks and picked up the clothes that Ann Putman and Elizabeth Paris had left behind.They felt an equally powerful force attacking the man of darkness. They panicked and quickly evacuated the scene, leaving only a huge bonfire burning in place.

When Ann Putman and Elizabeth Paris returned to the town and got dressed, they immediately told the judge and inquisitor what happened last night, but in their descriptions, they were not participating in the witch hunt. The people at the gathering just happened to watch the scene by accident when they went to play games in the forest.

Ann Putman described to the judge in detail the scenes they saw in the woods, the bonfire and the naked woman, the black man and the smoking stick, and the horrible and strange singing.It's just that Ann Putman didn't know all the witches in the town, so she listed some unpopular guys in the town out of fear of witchcraft.The first person to be accused was Sarah Goode, who was disliked by many people because she often smoked a pipe; the second person to be accused was Sarah Osborne; the third person to be accused was John ·Price and his wife Mary Price; and the last person accused was the real witch, Kazia Mason.

The judge immediately ordered the king's army to bring guns and arrest the witch according to Ann Putman's confession.But except for Kazia Mason who managed to escape, everyone else was caught red-handed and thrown into cells.

The trial went quickly and the judge used ancient methods of questioning.The captured suspects were taken from their cells to a dark room where they were interrogated by Cotton Mather and the Witch Hunters. Each suspect was forced to sit on a wooden table in the center of the room. Sitting in a chair, his hands and feet bound, he was questioned by interrogator Matthew Hopkins.

The judge will prepare a unique style of questioning for each of them.
