Marvel Magic Event Book

Although they were separated from the crowd, Salomon and Coulson could still clearly see the tragic state of the body.

The face and throat of this corpse have long been changed beyond recognition, as if it had been bitten by some animal. Anyone can see the white cervical vertebrae through the bloody hole in the neck.The limbs of the corpse were also torn apart. When the king's army carried him over, there were still fragments of skin and flesh falling on the black mud.Perhaps because of the fastened bulletproof vest, the torso of the corpse was not greatly damaged, but the magazine and other emergency supplies inserted in the bulletproof vest were missing. It seemed that the hungry murderer was in a hurry. When I impatiently tried to peel the body apart like an onion, I encountered fragmentary obstructions. The sturdy nylon bag was almost torn open, and the broken black threads were like spores growing from the body, stretching lonely into the sky. .

If Salomon hadn't been sharp-eyed and saw the broken S.H.I.E.L.D. logo covered in blood on the arm of the corpse, he wouldn't have been able to identify which combat force it was.Coulson became very calm, and he came up with several possibilities in a flash. "He also came from the cave." He said, "Maybe he came behind us. The time here is different from reality, so he may just be a step late."

"That cave will not only swallow us, but other people can also come in through it. Maybe it will be like the drain in the sink, swallowing people in continuously. In fact, I am more worried that this drain will be like " Like in "Return of the Clown", spraying some things from this world outside, if so, it would be troublesome." Salomon said, "How many people did you bring?"

"Not many, four action team members."

"There are three left, we'd better assume they're all in." Salomon sighed, "Get Natasha ready. Her combat uniform has the SHIELD logo on it, we just We can hope those girls didn't see the pattern clearly, otherwise we won't have much time left. Colson, if something goes wrong, you and Natasha move as soon as possible. Remember those four girls, that's you and Natasha mission.”

"Then what are you going to do now?"

"Go and identify whether the suspect is a witch, and then go find the remaining three - if they really come, we need manpower." Salomon said, "I will go deep into the forest this time. If I still have it at night If I don’t come back, don’t wait for me, you can just figure it out on your own.”

The four names Salomon told Colson did belong to the local witch coven, but in fact they had not been a member of the witch coven for a long time. Unlike Ann Putman and Elizabeth Paris, they did not Invited by Kazia Mason, he was chosen by the Dark One and accidentally joined the gathering.

When their work on the farm was over, Mary Price gave them stew and bread.In this era, farmers could not easily remove the ergot fungus from wheat. In addition, the last winter in Salem was extremely humid, and mold grew wantonly. The bread given by Mary Price was somewhat spoiled, and the four A girl ate bread containing lysergic acid diethylamide.

After that, they saw the truth of the world.

When Mary Price heard that Alice Parker knew the Bible very well, she asked Alice to read a verse or two to the illiterate Pricey couple.But when Alice opened the New Testament she carried with her, she found that the pages were blank. But when she rubbed her eyes and looked at the book again, she found her name written in blood on the book.However, the hallucinations did not stop there. When Bridget Bishop took a break and began to sew her own doll, another girl, Margaret Scott, began to have stomach cramps or similar pains, and then the pain gradually worsened. , there were several bleeding spots in her waist.Margaret noticed that the doll that Brigitte was sewing was strikingly similar to hers. As Brigitte moved, bleeding of unknown origin appeared all over her body.

When Susanna Martin was sent to milk the cows, she saw a little mouse crawling down from a branch with something in its mouth.But no matter how much she pointed at the mouse and yelled for others to see it, no matter how hard she tried to describe it, no one could see the mouse except her.After saying that she was tired, Susanna Martin gave up the useless description. She stared at the mouse closely. She saw that the mouse had human hands and feet in its paws, its face also looked like a human, and it still had a freshly killed animal in its mouth. of chicken.The creature hissed and spat, spilled the milk as it jumped past Susanna, splashed her all over, and disappeared into the tool shed with its prey.

John Plessy asked Bridget to find a calf named Metz. It walked into the wheat field a few days ago and has not come back yet.The height of the grass was higher than Brigitte's head, blocking the short girl's sight, but she could still hear Metz calling her mother, so she judged the direction by the sound.Through the wheat stem, she saw a scarecrow in the distance, with black straw stuffed in his ragged clothes.

When she got closer, she looked at the scarecrow again. She felt that the other person seemed to be looking at her, and a wave of fear surrounded her.Then, she heard the calf screaming, as if it was being attacked by something.Brigitte temporarily put aside her fear and ran over. She quickly found the dead calf, its throat and belly had been torn open - and the black scarecrow was motionless and silent above the body. Standing there, at least that's what the girl thought, until the scarecrow suddenly vomited blood and poured it on Bridget. The girl screamed loudly until John Pricey rushed over and took away the dead calf. Bridget Te Cai slowly calmed down.

That night, as they worked late, crossing the dark forest between the village and the town of Salem, they happened upon the Dark One feasting on the sacrifices offered by Kazia Mason.They ran away in panic, but the man of darkness had chosen them, and their names had already appeared on the "Book of Azathoth."However, until Ann Putman started to denounce the town residents, the four girls had not acquired much magic. They could only subconsciously curse others - such as when Pastor Paris fell down the stairs and broke his leg. It's the result of an unconscious curse on these four girls - something they also discover, which both excites and scares them.

Nowadays, the huge witch hunt in the small town of Salem frightened them. They didn't even tell John Plessy, so they hid in their homes and never went there.This is why John Plessy commissioned Salomon to ask these girls, because it is spring and the farm is in urgent need of help, and Plessy and his wife cannot take care of it alone.But now the Prycys don’t have to think about these things, because once they are arrested, their property will be taken back to the public. Even if they prove their innocence, the property will not be returned to them, but will be divided among the judges. , Inquisitor and Clerk.

Just as Salomon was carrying equipment into the depths of the dark forest, Coulson also found out about the four girls.He remembered Salomon's instructions and did not face the four girls alone, but watched them from a distance.Luckily, the four girls stayed together and Coulson only had to focus on one to find them all.Natasha also participated in the tracking. She changed into local clothes, padded her figure with extra clothes, wore a headscarf to cover her hair, and covered her cheeks with a thin layer of soot. She looked inconspicuous at all.

But neither Coulson nor Natasha relaxed their vigilance. They carried pistols with them because in this era without laws, danger is everywhere.They took turns stalking. Since Tituba was placed in the hotel and could not show up, they had to go back to take care of her. This stalking lasted all day, and until late at night, Colson, who was staying in the hotel, did not see Salo. Meng returned.When Natasha returned to the hotel, a worried Coulson told her about the incident.

But Natasha has no choice, because Salomon has banned them from entering the forest, and Coulson and Natasha will go to the prison next to rescue the innocent people identified by Salomon - this The job was thankless, and the hotel room couldn't accommodate so many people.But to Colson's surprise, the court in the town was still brightly lit until late at night, and many townspeople gathered in the court, shouting that the witch should be hanged.

Judge Cotton Mather and Inquisitor Matthew Hopkins no longer intend to keep the suspects in jail because they fear that the prisoners will disappear without a trace in the night like Tituba. .The loss of a prisoner had exposed Cotton Mather to the accountability of Governor William, so he intended to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.

They concluded the interrogation in the morning and noon, passed the verdict in the afternoon, and carried out the execution immediately in the evening.In their court, suspects are not allowed to defend themselves, because it is a lie told by the devil, and the verdict is death without exception. The only difference is that men are crushed to death with stones and women are hanged. .Those fanatical residents of Salem seemed to be on the Tyburn execution ground in London. They were extremely satisfied with their penchant for displays of power and "justice". When naked and scarred women struggled on the gallows, When they were incontinent, they would shout loudly and vent their fears, as if it was their shouts that hung the witch on the gallows.

This scene shocked Coulson because he saw the ugliest side of human nature.Before joining SHIELD, he was just a student studying history. He joined SHIELD right after graduating from high school. He had only read about such tragedies in books. He has always believed in law and humanity.But when he witnessed this crazy scene in person, he felt like he was in hell.

"I'm……"

"Colson, are you okay?" Natasha looked at Colson worriedly.She was not surprised by this scene. She had seen many scenes of mass hysteria, and she had also seen even more tragic ones.But for Coulson, a more "positive" person in SHIELD, this kind of scene is no less than a destruction of his persistence in humanity. (Be sensible)

Not only Coulson and Natasha were not involved in the fanatical crowd, but also Randolph Carter, and Abigail Williams hiding behind him.Abigail clutched the hem of Randolph's clothes tightly, showing fear and worry. She was worried about the missing Tituba, while Randolph Carter looked solemnly at the black forest to the west, expecting some of him to appear there. Want to see something.
