Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 1 Prologue Summoning the Djinn

Rumble! ! !Following a burst of thunder, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, reflecting the silhouette of an ancient castle on the top of the mountain, which was even more eerie and strange in the balance of black and white.

There is no electricity in the castle, and in the huge study room, only a small candlelight illuminates a place in front of the desk. A thin man in a black robe is lying in the halo of yellow light, constantly looking at a piece of paper. What is written on the paper.

"No, no, there is something wrong with this word, and it needs to be revised here too! It shouldn't be [great existence], maybe it should be more appropriate to use [sacred existence]," he used a pen to quickly write the words he just wrote. The words were crossed out, sometimes thinking hard, sometimes writing vigorously, a piece of thick parchment was scratched by him beyond recognition, and intermittent words and sentences and some key words that ordinary people could not understand could be vaguely seen.

"Damn it, it's impossible for this spell to be summoned successfully." He roughly crumpled the paper full of handwriting and threw it on the ground. Such balls of paper can be seen everywhere on the thick carpet, and he didn't know that he had modified it. How many times, and how many times it was overturned.

The man suddenly lay back on the chair behind him, letting out a heavy sigh.

This sigh seemed to have exhausted his strength, his hand was hanging limply, and he didn't even have the strength to hold a pen. This feeling of weakness and weakness is not a feeling, but a reality.

It was the power of the curse. Qin Gang clenched his fingers tightly. The tight grip gave him a sense of security, but it made him even more frightened. It seems that my time is running out!As Qin Gang thought about it, his eyes fell on the cover of a book on the desk. It was a heavy ancient book with a metal shell. On the cover was a huge eye with purple pupils, watching him like a living person. .

Qin Gang's hand lightly brushed the cover of the book page, moving gently with the relief grooves, as gentle and delicate as if caressing his lover's face. Terrified, he rubbed it like this for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, and opened the book violently as if making up his mind.

Qin Gang's eyes kept sweeping across the pages of the book, hesitating between those summoning spells that had been tried, the pages kept turning, illustrations of creatures from other worlds flashed before his eyes, evil spirits, Sea monsters and demons, Qin Gang has long turned a blind eye to these things, and what he wants to look for now are some clues that he didn't notice in the past.

"There must be something, there must be something." He murmured, trying to grasp the last straw.However, it didn't work. He had tried each of these spells in the book more than once.

"Damn it, what kind of spell do you need to summon the lamp god?!" Qin Gang closed the book angrily.

That's right, what Qin Gang wants to summon is the legendary lamp god.

He has summoned every other world, tried every secret name of god.But what about the result?All kinds of weird things were summoned, even in the last summoning ceremony, the evil god Samos of the world of Gozares was accidentally summoned.

Why? ——Is there no Djinn?He was thinking wildly in his mind, his chest felt tight for a while, and he covered his mouth and coughed twice. He lowered his head and looked at the trembling hands full of black blood.

It was the pain left after being cursed by the evil god Samos. He really deserved to be one of the seven demon gods of purgatory. Even the tears of the phoenix could not completely relieve the curse.

"No, it's impossible. The Genie must exist. I must have missed some details. Yes, it must be so." As if to persuade himself, Qin Gang casually wiped his palm on the slightly worn black robe, Suddenly grabbed a piece of paper, and started to write and draw again.

"Damn it, I don't have much time!" Qin Gang said to himself, a flash of despair flashed in his heart, but he shook his head immediately with a resolute nature, "It doesn't matter, as long as I can successfully summon the lamp god, I promise three A wish, the curse and injuries on the body can be easily solved, now we must concentrate!"

His thoughts fell back on the book of other worlds in front of him, and his mind was running at an unprecedented speed, (if the lamp god is not in the nine known different worlds, then it is obvious that it should be in other unidentified worlds The unknown dimension of the record, that is to say, I am afraid I will have to use the random summoning spell.)
(Yes, that's right, the spell is never used, simply because everyone is afraid to use it, but what if the Djinn happens to need this spell to be summoned?)
He wrote the first line of incantations on the paper - [Unknown existence from an unknown world. 】

The brain is still running, and the description of the appearance of the lamp god in each era is completely different, so it should be able to change its appearance automatically.

So the second sentence should be——【Indescribable, ineffable, unknown, mysterious gods. 】

He wrote the second line of incantation again.

(That's right, that's it!) The more Qin Gang thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. After ignoring the danger of the random summoning spell, his thoughts gradually became clearer. Using the brush was like a divine help. After a while, a new The spell is done.

He re-read the content of the spell, although he dare not say that it is sure, but at least there is a chance.

His eyes darkened for a while, which was a sign that the curse was deepening, (Damn it, those hateful purifiers, if they didn't suddenly rush into the hall when he was performing the summoning ceremony, why would he be injured by the evil god in such a hurry? One day sooner or later, I will make all of you disappear, as long as I summon the lamp god and make those three wishes, none of you will be able to escape.)
While thinking bitterly, Qin Gang stuffed the spell he had just written into the inner pocket of the black robe, tucked the book under his ribs with one hand, and staggered out of the study room, walked through the long corridor, and pushed away the old castle. The door, stepped into the wind and rain outside the door.

The wind and rain in early spring were extremely cold, and the raindrops contained ice particles, blowing on the face like a knife cut.The cold wind howled, instantly chilling Qin Gang to the bone.

However, the cold couldn't suppress the frenzied flames in Qin Gang's heart. The new spell brought him new hope. He walked towards the front of the courtyard. In the darkness, a low building was like a crawling monster. Entrenched there, a flash of lightning flashed, illuminating the exterior of the building and a dark gate.

Pushing open the door hard, Qin Gang stepped in, and the door closed behind him, blocking the cold and wind and rain behind him.

He walked down the steps and gradually entered the hall of the gloomy basement.

In the corner of the empty hall, several men and women in black robes were talking quietly about something. When they saw him walk in, they immediately stood up, looking a little flustered and uneasy.

"Master! You are here." A tall female believer bowed respectfully and said.

Qin Gang looked at the thin people in front of him with some sighs, there was no way, these were his last few believers, and those capable generals who were originally able to flee to death in the wrath of the evil gods were chased by the purifiers escape.Of course, these strengths are not the best now, and even their bodies are somewhat injured.But it doesn't matter, as long as you can summon the lamp god and make those three wishes, then everything can be successfully taken back, and you can even bring those subordinates back to life. Of course, those wastes are not worth wasting a wish quota. He has the ability to bring the dead back to life.

Qin Gang couldn't help but began to fantasize about what would happen after successfully summoning the lamp god in his mind, until a suffocating pain in his chest pulled him back to reality,

"I've already prepared a new spell, and it will definitely succeed this time." He held up the parchment in his hand confidently.

However, upon hearing Qin Gang's words, a trace of fear flashed unconsciously on the faces of those subordinates. They looked at each other, and none of them showed any expectation.

"Hmph, I'm scared out of my wits." Qin Gang snorted coldly in his heart, ignoring their uneasiness.Instead, he directly handed the paper full of words to the female believer who spoke just now, and several people immediately gathered around, and when they saw the words on the paper, they all showed shocked expressions.

"Master—Master, is this a random summoning spell?" A thin yellow-haired man stammered and asked, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"That's right - it's the random summoning spell! Why, what's the problem?" He glanced at a few of his subordinates coldly. Of course he knew the risks of the random summoning spell, but now, he doesn't have much choice , can only remain tough, and use his usual prestige to suppress other thoughts of his subordinates.

The Huang Mao who asked the question hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't dare to say it. After all, Qin Gang has always been a god-like existence to them. None of the qualifications on the side.

Qin Guang glanced coldly across the faces of several people, and immediately some people bowed their heads under pressure, and dared not have any objections or questions.

"Work!" Qin Gang said sharply, and as if they were being pardoned, they immediately ran to arrange the venue for the summoning ceremony skillfully.

The summoning circle has already been engraved on the ground, so they only need to clean up the debris and then stand according to the position.The four people formed a circle around the summoning circle, ready to start a new round of summoning ceremony at any time.

Qin Gang walked to the main position of the magic circle, still holding the book of other worlds in his hand, and began to mutter something.

Several other people secretly watched Qin Gang's every move, and dared not speak privately.They have performed this kind of ceremony many times in the past, but at that time, more than a dozen people usually performed the ceremony together to share the powerful spiritual power required to activate the summoning circle, but at this time there were only four people, so when the summoning circle was activated When the enlightenment mantra began to be recited, the four of them immediately felt a huge pressure.

It was as if an invisible force was drawing vitality from their bodies, and there was a sharp pain in the brain, but none of them dared to make any changes, they could only grit their teeth and persevere, reciting the spell in a low tone.

In the dim light of the fire, the low-pitched chant echoed continuously in the basement, like a Sanskrit sound that slowly calmed one's heart.

Finally, as the mantra was recited more than a dozen times, the summoning circle on the ground emitted a faint white light and had been activated.

Although this action has been repeated dozens of times, Qin Gang still felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart when he saw the magic circle light up.Although his body is so weak, the hope in his heart makes him full of strength at this moment, maybe this will be his last chance, and he must succeed.

Tremblingly, he spread out the piece of paper with the spell written on it on the metal cover of the Book of Otherworlds. Looking at the writing on it, an inexplicable fear suddenly rose in his heart, what if he failed?just in case--

(No, there is no chance, this time it will definitely succeed!) This change of mind was almost only half a second, so his followers didn't see his serious hesitation.He spread out the paper and began to chant the summoning spell.
