Chapter 52: Sacrificing one’s life to feed the devil (please follow up)
"Hello, I am"
"Anna, Anna Manina."
The woman's words froze for a moment. She looked at Lange who blurted out her name in front of her, and suddenly froze in place, somewhat at a loss.
Seeing this, Lango smiled and said, "You came here one night a few weeks ago, didn't you? I opened the door for you at that time."
"Oh, yes! I remembered."
When Anna heard this, two red clouds quietly climbed up on her cheeks. She nodded slightly panicked, "I was really sorry last time for disturbing you so late."
"It doesn't matter. I'm bored staying here alone anyway."
Lange smiled and then led the woman to sit down at the service desk.
When her eyes inadvertently glanced at the three little girls behind the service desk, Anna was stunned. Two little girls and a teddy bear. Are these the assistants of the night shift security guard?
"Don't be surprised, they are all my family." Lange poured a glass of water and put it in front of her, explaining: "There were no adults at home at night, so I took them to the museum by the way. It's safe to have me watching." point."
"I see."
Anna did not drink the water he handed her, but just stared at the water glass in her hand, her eyes focused on the rim of the glass blankly, and the atmosphere gradually solidified into an uncomfortable silence.
Here, after Lange looked at the woman calmly, he went straight to the point.
"I remember that last time Miss Manina came to visit late at night to find a book. Is this the same reason for coming here this time?"
Anna did not answer after hearing this, and lowered her head like a mindless corpse.
"Miss Manina?" Lange raised his voice.
"Oh! Yes, books! I came here this time to find books too!"
Ana suddenly came to her senses, quickly put down the water glass, and stood up, with a flash of complicated emotions in her eyes.
There is both urgency and unspeakable struggle.
Immediately afterwards, she, who originally looked like an innocent girl next door, reached out and gently touched Lango's chest with her fingers, and said in a seductive tone: "Toughguy, can you help me find it? This place is really too big. "
Seeing this, Lange frowned secretly. This woman seemed to have schizophrenia. She was pure and debauched for a while. He gently pushed Anna's hand away and asked: "What's the name of the book? If it's easy to find, I wouldn’t mind helping you look for it, but if..."
""The Record of Rare Devils"," Anna replied directly.
Lange was a little surprised when he heard this. The collection of historical books and documents in the museum started in the hundreds of thousands. If it were not for the staff specifically responsible for this, it would be difficult to find a specific book in it.
But coincidentally, not long ago, Lango had specifically looked for this book and read it at the suggestion of Amos.
The above mainly describes thirty-one devils that appeared in the Middle Ages.
Amos once told him that the devils recorded in the books were completely different from the devils in hell.
They can only appear in the world when the extreme paranoia of human emotions is intertwined with external inducements, and they feed on human negative emotions. Ordinary exorcism methods have no effect on them.
Thinking of this, Lango's eyes narrowed slightly, and a meaningful smile formed at the corner of his mouth.
"You're lucky. I happened to see this book not long ago. Just wait here and I'll come right away." After leaving these words, he turned around and hurried upstairs. While picking up the book, he also I want to ask Amos about this woman.
Downstairs, now only Anna and the three little ones are left together. Of course, apart from the model dolls who have been secretly paying attention to this place in the display window.
Anna glanced at these guys. The girl in Lolita costumes was sitting motionless on the chair with sunglasses on; the teddy bear was playing games on her mobile phone, and from time to time she would raise her eyes to peek at her long legs in black stockings. legs; and the little girl who looked most like a living person was crossing her legs and staring at herself impatiently.
"freak"
After Anna murmured coldly, she walked away from them, unwilling to say anything.
Time passed by minute by second, and just when Anna's patience was about to run out, the elevator door slowly opened, and Rango came into view holding a yellowed book in his hand.
A bright smile instantly bloomed on Anna's face. She couldn't wait to step forward to grab it, but was gently stopped by Lango.
"You can only watch it here, and you only have five minutes to watch it."
Lange said seriously: "This thing has a history of hundreds of years and is a real cultural relic. Logically speaking, what I am doing now has seriously violated the rules."
Anna's smile froze, and the longing and urgency in her eyes intertwined into complex emotions.
Five minutes was far from enough for her. She urgently needed to find and remember the methods in the book about serving that "adult".
Thinking that she might be in vain again this time, Anna decided to take a more direct approach.
She stuck to Lange's side, put her feet up and said seductively in his ear: "Do you think this will work? Since this book is so important, why don't you take it with you to my house and bring it back before dawn tomorrow?" "
She then deliberately licked her lips, her eyes full of provocation, "My husband is still in Germany, he doesn't know what happens here."
"hiss"
Lange looked at the woman who was already in her arms in surprise. This girl was actually a wife?
Damn it!
Now I have to go!
Thinking of what Amos had told him upstairs, Lange couldn't help but sigh with compassion.
As a member of the Wen family, it is his destiny to exorcise and hunt demons. It seems that this time he can only sacrifice his life to feed the demons!
“Well, it seems that’s the only way it can be.”
There was a hint of helplessness and determination in Lange's tone. Then, he put his arm around the woman's waist unceremoniously and asked, "Is your home far away?"
"About twenty minutes' drive." Anna raised her head and looked at him, her eyes moving, "Just in time we can have a little more 'foreplay'."
Lange raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and then winked at Teddy, telling him to pay attention to what was going on in the museum and come back by himself.
But this time Teddy asked worriedly: "Can you be alone? Lange, do you need me to accompany you?"
"I think it's not necessary." Lange declined with a smile: "Have more confidence in me, man. If nothing else happens, I will be back soon."
Bringing Teddy over for this kind of thing can only serve as a styling function at most, and if there is one more person, there may be additional variables.
He shook his head, then held the thick book under his arm, put his left hand around Anna's waist, opened the door and left the museum.
The unhappy Teddy was left alone to watch their retreating figures, complaining in a low voice from time to time: "In the past in Africa, there was no time when we had an affair without fighting side by side together."
