American comics start with Zha Kang’s apprentice

Andre opened his eyes. He felt his head was a little heavy, as if someone had knocked him out with a stick.

But Andre quickly thought of his situation. He was unlikely to be knocked unconscious by such a method, because he had been shot through the head by a bullet before, and his chest was also shot through. He had no heart at all. , as for the brain...who the hell knows what's going on?

It's not a good sign that the memory is intact, because the fear strikes again.

Andre moved his hands, and under the flickering dim light he saw a pair of dark and dim shackles locking his wrists, and long chains connected to the ground, and they all made a "clattering" sound.

Andre was sitting in a chair. The chair was like a huge throne made of stone. It was almost integrated with the ground, as if the stone that originally stood here had been carefully polished. Andre sat firmly on the cold stone chair. He soon discovered that his legs were also locked with heavy shackles, and his neck was even tied to the back of the chair, forcing him to do nothing but Stand straight. This position of being unable to relax caused terrible pain all over his body. As long as he relaxed a little, his neck would get stuck on the ring that locked his neck, and the sharp jagged edges would pierce into his flesh. In fact, , that’s how he woke up from the pain.

The ends of all the chains that trapped Andre were firmly nailed into the ground in a circular fashion in all directions on the sharp stakes. The upward parts of the sharp stakes were inserted with bloody heads. The heads of these men and women seemed to be different. Not dead, it seems like some extremely evil force still keeps them in the world. But their tongues were pulled out, their vocal cords were damaged, their eyes were also gouged out, and part of their skin and flesh seemed to have been cut off with precision.

Those tragic scenes made Andre wake up quickly. His frightened eyes subconsciously looked around as he couldn't twist his neck freely. He saw a huge magic circle outlined by solidified blood, which was made of three rings. He was in the center of a triangle matrix, and twenty-two candles were lit outside the outermost ring.

Behind each candle stands a person whose head is covered by shadows, but whose greedy eyes are revealed. Each of them holds a small silver plate in their hands, and the things placed on the plate are different. Andre could identify strange things such as feathers, teeth, mandibles, horns, goat eyes, etc., but there were several other things that he didn't recognize at all. Those objects were twisted like various organs or arteries, but they were not. Flesh, but condensed blood-red crystals.

The man standing outside the circle facing Andre was the demon Georgie Georgie, half of whose face still seemed to be melted. He grinned with his deformed mouth and the little silver man he held religiously in his hands. What was placed on the plate was a gold coin that shone in the light of the burning candle.

Behind Qiaoji Qiaoji is the pulpit that was placed here when it was a small church before it was used as a warehouse. It is dilapidated, but not destroyed.

And on the damaged wall behind the pulpit, a huge dragon pattern was burning. Only when Andre looked a little more carefully did he realize that it was composed of the three miserable humans pulling the magic cabinet. All the bones in their bodies must have been broken, and their skin and flesh had also been torn. This was all preparation necessary to allow their bodies to accurately display the flying dragon pattern, and their bodies were also nailed. Countless golden spikes were inserted into it, and it was these spikes that firmly decorated them on the walls.

The most surprising thing was the burning flames. The flames did not burn the bodies of the three people. They just surrounded the three bodies. This was not like some exaggerated ornate decoration. This seemed to be what Qiaoji Qiaoji wanted. part of the proposed plan.

Andre suddenly remembered the magic cabinet, the very funny magic prop he had seen when he was a child. He didn't see the cabinet, but it must have important significance for Georgie, Georgie and those demons to get that cabinet into this warehouse.

"It's time, Mr. Andre!" Qiaoji Qiaoji's voice echoed in this originally not spacious warehouse, "You will open up a new path for us! You will witness greater power for us. ! You are a miracle! A miracle that brings change to hell!"

"You're fucking crazy!" Andre suddenly wanted to laugh, because he realized that Georgie had told a lie that even humans would not believe.

Hell does not need to be changed at all. It is the abyss of sin and a place of eternal destruction.

How could hell have a new future?

Qiaoji Qiaoji chuckled indifferently. His laughter seemed to be very contagious, causing all the demons in human skins to laugh.

Andre had goosebumps all over his body, and he remembered what the twenty-two demons standing here were. They have already infiltrated into the human world, they are lurking around humans, they disguise themselves as important figures, and they have been planning for a long time.

Qiaoji Qiaoji no longer looked at Andre. Instead, he looked around at his companions. He finally nodded, as if the benefit ceremony had begun.

Andre was desperate. He couldn't persuade Qiaoji to give up the bloody ritual, and it was even less possible for him to break free and escape from here.

"I'm not the person you're looking for!" Andre yelled in vain.

However, the unknown empty language was soon recited from every demon's mouth.

The taste of blood soon filled Andre's mouth, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat, as if a ball of flames was rapidly shooting out of his empty chest.

The human heads stuck on the sharp stakes shook even more violently. They seemed to feel the same unparalleled pain, and they even really burned.

A tongue of fire snaked out from the melted head on the sharp stake, and it spread like life on the ground towards the sharp stake nailed to the ground by the chain that locked Andre. Then the second one, then the third one...

With the appearance of each tongue of fire, the turbulence in Andre's chest intensified, and a slight "tap-tap" sound sounded in his mind. They approached from far away, as if someone was slowly approaching.

"No..." Andre had already begun to imagine the scene of a terrifying being tearing flesh and blood from his body. He even felt that that person was walking toward reality deep in his soul.

A fishy wind blew in the warehouse, the candlelight swayed even more fiercely, and the camps belonging to the devil's skin reflected on the surrounding walls were dancing wildly. The flying dragon pattern on the wall behind the pulpit began to squirm, and the flesh and blood of the three humans seemed to come alive again. They were enveloped by a huge shadow, and they began to merge into one.

Andre finally screamed, his swollen and painful head felt like it was going to explode, and the vision in Na's two eyes began to change strangely.

His left eye could already see everything happening in reality, and his right eye saw a blazing flame after the mist parted. The flame seemed to be wrapped in green vines, and the center of the flame was It was a pool of lava shimmering with green light. On the central pontoon of those pools of lava, an extremely huge and heavy chain locked a tall, bearded giant.

There was also a boy with round-rimmed glasses. In his hand was a crooked, ordinary-looking wooden stick. Only the silver-white lightning mark on the top made it an extraordinary artifact.

They are all swaying in the red light. They are all inside a miniature door, and that door is like countless doors that are nested together from far to near, extending infinitely forward in the field of vision. weird sight. From the positions of the boy and the giant, more characters, more worlds, and more crises began to expand toward the infinity door that was connected together...

Andre felt that his brain was about to be overloaded. He could not bear such a huge world. He seemed to have seen the entire universe... No! That's all the universe has to offer!

But what does all this have to do with hell? Is this the power that Qiaoji Qiaoji wants?

At this time, a demon threw the plate in his hand into the spreading flames. He used a golden dagger to cut open his palm. He also spilled blood in. He silently recited a strange language that Andre couldn't understand at all. And Andre felt that the only ones he could understand were the two unknown names Hecate and Lucifer.

Another demon soon followed suit, and the things they threw into the flames were quickly annihilated, as if the flames were an ever-hungry monster.

Along with the "dedication" of these demons, their shadows strangely disappeared from the walls. They still stood quietly, but no longer spoke. This made the originally high-pitched and crazy chorus in the entire warehouse become weaker and weaker. .

But the strange footsteps in Andre's ears became faster and louder, and after the footsteps there was a noisier "clang, clatter, clatter" sound, like the sound of a train running on the rails.

After these sounds, the "ticking" sound is both like the sound of a pendulum swinging and the countdown of a bomb.

Andre no longer begged for mercy. All his willpower was now focused on the reality he saw with his eyes and the other kaleidoscope universe. He didn't even know that the fingers of his hands had been pressed hard on the chair. Several were broken.

The devil's voice finally became a monotonous chant alone, and Qiaoji Qiaoji was the last to throw the gold coins in the plate into the magic circle that was already blazing with anger.

With this final throw, the remaining twenty-one human skins standing silently all burned, and they eventually became part of the magic circle.

Then, as if they could not withstand the high temperature, the chains that trapped Andre melted.

Chains fell to the ground one after another, but Andre was still bound by the invisible force. He could no longer see Qiaoji Qiaoji under the barrier of the flames. He was surrounded by hot and angry flames, but his The doors seen in the right eye began to close one by one from far to near.

Starlight gradually rose on the dark door, and the soft moonlight was also lit.

It had a human face, like a cartoon face.

Andre's eyes slowly widened, and he finally knew where the magic cabinet was.

It was right in front of Andre's eyes, it seemed to be unsealed, it was opened. The footsteps were not the sound of someone walking towards Andre, but the sound of Andre constantly walking towards the magic cabinet.

Andre listened to the increasingly louder sounds, and he felt his head shaking. The doors in front of him were closed one by one, until finally the largest and darkest door replaced all the flames in front of him and became the only thing in Andre's field of vision.

No... there is something else in that darkness.

It was a headless body, and he was slowly turning around.

Andre felt like he had gone through a whole cycle. He seemed to have returned to the cemetery where Chen Yu had taken him across countless worlds. He faced the headless body again.

However, the positions began to reverse.

Finally, Andre looked at his frightened face.

When he blinked, Andre's face disappeared, and there was only a mirror in front of him, like a mirror of playing cards.

All Andre saw was himself in the mirror.

It's always been him.

"Ah...that's it." The mirror in front of Andre shattered, and in the fragments that disappeared into the darkness, he saw the faces of Chen Yu, "Thank you, Elaine Belloc... …”
