Chapter 2783: Populus Village Witchcraft Case (Ⅱ)

Qiao An's appetite was stunned by Conti's mystical narrative, and she listened intently, without even realizing that her pudding had been taken away by Conti.
"Our young pastor, cast a spell to pry open the window, and through the cracks in the window heard one after another snoring from the wooden house."
"Mr. Saguna, driven by curiosity, gently opened the window and glanced into the room, and found that the dwarf women who participated in the sacrifice were lying on the floor, all snoring, like a collective drunk, and He couldn't smell the slightest smell of alcohol."
"With full of doubts, Mr. Saguna opened the window and entered the house. He searched the house with the light from the fireplace and found no suspicious clues. Finally, he found a plate of leftovers on the dining table next to the fireplace. There are many half-inch-long, lavender horn-shaped particles scattered on the table, which look like some kind of food for sacrifice."
"Mr. Saguna was still too young and had a reckless personality. He cast a'detect toxin' on the dining table. No abnormality was found. He picked up a small cookie and stuffed it into his mouth. According to his recall when he was investigated by the Holy See afterwards, The biscuits taste good, but the aftertaste is a bit astringent."
"Mr. Saguna then grabbed a small handful of purple horn-shaped pellets, stuffed it into his pocket, jumped out of the window, closed the window, and quietly returned to his apartment."
"This time he visited the sacrifice scene of Tituba's house this time. He failed to find any real evidence of the cult. He returned home with disappointment and wrote down his experience tonight in his diary."
"Not long afterward, Mr. Saguena felt dizzy, as if drunk, lying down on the bed, like sleeping but not sleeping, and many strange visions alternately appeared before his eyes."
"According to his later memories, he saw leopards with teeth and dancing claws, bronze pheasants, warriors in strange costumes, various monsters and ghosts in an endless stream... In the state of the worst hallucinations, he felt that his body seemed to be chopped by life. In two halves, each half has an independent will and quarrels fiercely."
"It sounds a lot like the symptoms of taking hallucinogens."
Conti’s narration reminded Qiao Ann that when he accompanied his tutor to visit Fort Duning many years ago, the local tavern sold a cactus extract called "Phantasy Dew", which has a strong hallucinogenic effect and addictive. Drugs attract many addicts to indulge in it.
The hallucinations caused by Mr. Saguna's secret visits to the dwarf sacrificial site that night are very similar to the situation when the effects of the "illusion" are onset after taking the "illusion"-in the vernacular, it is "the medicine is knocked out" and "takes off."
Saguna didn't understand the root cause of all these hallucinations. When he woke up the next morning feeling a splitting headache, he treated himself with magic arts, which quickly eliminated the discomfort, and did not forget to record this strange event in his diary.
At that time, he suspected that his sudden psychedelic experience was probably related to the mysterious religious worship of the dwarf women. He even suspected that his mother-in-law Tituba had known that he had come uninvited that night, so she hallucinated him by casting spells. Give him a warning.
However, Saguna had no conclusive evidence, so he could only hide his doubts in his heart. Not long after, the first case of "sacred fire" appeared in Huyang Village, and he suddenly realized that the hallucinations and headaches that night was just an infection. Mild symptoms of "sacred fire"!
"According to Pastor Saguna’s testimony, it was one afternoon half a month ago. A dwarf boy hurried to the church to look for him. He said that the little daughter of the cooper family in the village had a sudden illness and sent him. Ask the pastor if he can go to the clinic. If he can't spare time, he will go to Tituba, the witch doctor in the village."
Conti went on to tell.
"Saguena had already made an appointment with another family member for a medical visit, but the boy who heard the errands said he was going to see Tituba, and immediately changed his mind and wrote a note to the boy, asking him to run errands to send him to the family he had arranged. Just say that you have a temporary emergency and go to the doctor at night."
"After the arrangements were made, Saguenay went to the cooper's house to visit the patient who became comatose."
"The sick girl's name is Mary. She has been asleep since yesterday evening. During this period, she would occasionally scream or groan in pain, convulse her body, occasionally wake up for a short time, and she was also full of gibberish, and she looked terrified. , Grabbing what's at hand and throwing it around, the mental state seems very unstable."
"Pastor Saguna learned about these symptoms from Mary's parents and used magical techniques to treat the little girl."
"The magical technique played the role that people expected, calming the little Mary who was in a convulsive state, and she woke up after a while, and her mind returned to normal."
"The coopers are full of gratitude to Pastor Saguna, saying that he is really good at curing the'sacred fire' disease, and he is much better than Tituba, the witch doctor in the village!"
"It was from this time that Saguena confirmed that little Mary had the'sacred fire syndrome', and it was the first such case in his life that he had seen. Out of curiosity, he asked little Mary who had just woke up, suffering What are the symptoms and discomforts during the illness, for reference when treating similar diseases in the future."
"Little Mary first talked about the expected symptoms such as headache and dizziness, and then said that she saw many terrifying ghosts in the half-asleep and half-awake period. She was so scared that she couldn't help screaming and grabbed what was at hand. He smashed it in and tried to drive away the ghosts that harassed him. It wasn't until Mr. Pastor had healed him that he woke up and realized that they were just phantoms."
"This detail aroused Saguena's vigilance and reminded him of his unannounced visit to Tituba's house not long ago. It seems to be similar to the symptoms of Mary during her illness. Is it just a coincidence?"
"With suspicion in his heart, Pastor Saguna turned around and asked little Mary whether he had dealt with the witch Tituba in the village before he became ill."
"The result is really unsurprising. Little Mary went to Tituba’s wooden house yesterday afternoon and listened to the witch telling stories. She also ate two small biscuits baked by Tituba’s hands in the wooden house. She felt uncomfortable when she came back. I fell ill after a short while."
"Saguena suspected that little Mary was inexplicably ill. It was probably the witch Tituba playing tricks behind it. However, this is only an isolated case. Just because little Mary was a guest at Tituba’s house, she was deemed to have been taken by Tituba. Baxia curse is too far-fetched to cause illness."
"Saguna said goodbye to the coopers' family, went back to his own home, and wrote the incident in his diary, and went to another home to visit.
"A few days later, some people in the village were infected with torch. There were adults, children, humans and dwarfs. Pastor Saguna was very busy. Among them, the patients who cared about him the most... were seven children of the same age as Mary. Girl."The latest chapter address of Master Qiao An: https://EbookFREE.me/book/102085.htmlReading address of Master Qiao’s article: https://EbookFREE.me/read/102085/Master Qiao An txt download address: https://EbookFREE.me/down/102085.htmlMaster Qiao An’s mobile phone reading: https://m.EbookFREE.me/read/102085/For the convenience of reading next time, you can click "Favorites" below to record the reading record of this time (Chapter 2783 Huyang Village Witchcraft Case (Ⅱ)), and you can see it next time you open the bookshelf!
