At the end of 2015, a British team of archaeologists discovered a rare creature from an ancient tomb near the ancient Indian city of Benares, but what they didn't expect was that its appearance would lead to a series of bizarre and terrifying deaths...

In November 2015, British archaeology professor Balik Stane led a research team to Benares, an ancient Indian city on the southern bank of the Ganges River. In the meantime, they found a well-preserved, strange shape of the Nether god doll from an ancient tomb.

Similar to many nations in the world, ancient Indians, due to their limited understanding of man and nature, believed that the souls of dead relatives went to another underworld, so they used various materials to create different shapes of Miandei as important funerary objects.

The tomb belonged to an aristocratic Vedic woman, and although she was buried with precious gems and gold, the bones appear to have suffered an agonistic struggle before her death. In particular, the hands and feet were brutally bound with copper wire. The statue placed on the chest of the dead is carved from wood and has been complicated with incense. Its face is ferocious, and its forehead has a pattern of half water and half fire.

The team's guide told Professor Balik that in ancient times, this type of idol was only used for young women who died of sudden illness. According to legend, only the fire and water gods of the Sun and Yin could prevent the disease from being transmitted to the underworld. According to the rules of the local clan at that time, the sick woman was buried alive with special copper wire tied tightly to her limbs, and relatives and relatives were required to gather for a ceremony, and the master was asked to recite a charm to the goddess of the underworld so that it had the extraordinary function of eliminating evil and evil spirits and leading the dead to the paradise.

Professor Balik, an expert in archaeology, was interested in the religious culture, folk sacrifice, tomb decoration, and other academic values of the statue, so he immediately decided to bring it back to Britain. As the news spread, many of the locals were horrified because there was a rumor that the souls of the dead possessed by the Nether gods if disturbed, would bring all kinds of evil to Earth.

Professor Valleck, of course, scoffs at the myth of Nether puppets. However, when they just finished the ancient cultural relics exit formalities, an unexpected situation happened: a young assistant of the research group accidentally had unknown causes of herpes, because I did not pay attention to it, leading to a serious infection and death.

The assistant's death caused immediate panic among the locals, as it was recorded that the owner of the tomb they had unearthed had died of a strange form of herpes. Not only that, but soon after her death, the disease haunted her family like a ghost, and within a few years, a prominent Vedic family was completely wiped out by the disease.

The coincidence of the two deaths, ancient and present, does not prevent the locals from associating the rumors about the Nether gods. After TRYING IN vain TO dissuade PROFESSOR BALek FROM RETURNING TO THE tomb, THE RESEARCH TEAM DECIDED TO CARRY OUT THE RITUAL according TO local traditions after coordination WITH relevant government officials.

The ritual is performed by a local master on the goddess of the dead, to achieve the so-called "transcendence" of the dead, and also to reduce the so-called "sin" of worldly interference. After THE CEREMONY, THE MASTER WATCHED AS PROFESSOR BALEK CAREFULLY PACKED THE NETO-GOD INTO A special metal sealed BOX, kindly reminding them THAT IF THE NETO-GOD BROUGHT EVIL TO EARTH in the future, the only way to eliminate it was to remove its rich aroma.

Professor Balik, who has studied archaeology for decades and is well informed, does not mind the ghosts. But LISTEN TO THE MAGE REMIND, contact the past of the ghost god ACCIDENTALLY and the ASSISTANT's death at PRESENT, the heart can not help but give birth to a bit of ineffable unease, the hand that HOLDS THE ghost God accidentally metal box also heavy.

demon

A month later, Professor Balik and his team returned to the UK to put the archaeological findings in his studio. He had planned to organize all the data, but because of the long journey and the death of his assistant, he announced that the team would be off for a week, leaving only his nephew, assistant researcher Romancha Steen, to run the daily errands.

Professor Balik was in his fifties, but his second wife, Janie, was in her early thirties, a fashionable, slightly established accessories designer. The first two days of the couple's holiday in the country were pleasant, as they say. But on the third day, Janie got a phone call and became upset. Late at night, Professor Balik accidentally noticed Janie repeatedly avoiding him, secretly answering the phone in the bathroom suspicious behavior.

Janie HAD only been married to PROFESSOR Valleck FOR THREE YEARS, DURING WHICH TIME HE had heard occasional GOSSIP about his WIFE, BUT had NOT noticed ANYTHING UNUSUAL about her, SO he DID NOT mind much. But now, intrigued by his wife's actions, he took advantage of the fact that Janie was not ready to check her phone records. She was in close contact with her translator during the team's trip to India, mostly late at night in India.

At this point, Professor Valik became jealous and, considering that the translator and Janie were about the same age, he was suspicious of the relationship between men and women, so he quietly observed Janie's behavior and privately informed his nephew, Romance, to check the background of the translator.

However, Romancha's private investigation has not been a few days, the translator unexpectedly died in Professor Balik's work room, and the death of a terrible, face full of fear. Police found that he had broken into the studio through a window at night, and an autopsy revealed that he died of hyper convulsion and tachycardia.

Why did the translator, who had terminated his employment contract with the research team after returning to China, enter the studio without any valuables? And what could happen in a studio late at night that would scare an able-bodied young man to death?

At this point, the police informed Professor Balik that a strong incense had been detected in the air at the scene of the interpreter's death, which, on preliminary tests, was consistent with the material they had brought back from India.

Professor Valleck found this strange because the box containing the Nesty-doll was made of specially made metal, which was very tightly sealed. However, when police showed him footage of the scene, he was shocked to see the specially sealed box lying open on its side and the Goddess of Destiny perched on top of the museum. At first glance, my face, as if this ancient god is slightly derisively looking down on the ordinary people. Especially in the dim light, the Yin and Yang imprint on its forehead that is half fire and half water appears particularly mysterious.

All of this confuses Professor Balik, who had personally urged the studio staff to put the Nestyx in a sealed box and lock it, and kept the only key with him at all times.

There is no trace of external force at the scene of the accident, can the god of Destiny accidentally run out by itself? Professor Blake ASSOCIATE THE DEATH OF GRAVE MASTER WITH THE SCIENTIFIC cognition of contemporary people, also suspected for a time the ancient virus THAT there is some unknown on the dependence of the GOD of the DEAD. However, this suspicion was quickly dispelled by medical tests.

At this time, the staff of the research group vacation has returned in succession, in the face of two bizarre disease death events, although we do not say clearly, the number in the heart also covered a layer of shadow, happen to think of the evil evil rumor of Nemesis god accidentally.

Professor Balik is even more confused about the translator's death, as the young man had few direct encounters with the Neto-gods during the team's archaeological excavations in India. Judging by the order in which the group has touched the Nether gods, even if it IS linked to the ancient myth, it seems that he does not deserve to be "KILLED" for disturbing the UNdead.

Professor Balik thought about it for a while, and then he thought about the translator's affair with his wife, Janie. He looked at Janie from the side again and found that she was too concerned about the death of the translator.

To circumvent this, Professor Balik deliberately told Janie about the rumors of the Nesty-god and the various strange deaths of two people in the research group, to test the privacy of his wife and translator.

The RUMOR MADE JANIE NERVOUS, AND IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE PROFESSOR BALIK CAUGHT HER SNEAKING THROUGH THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORDS OF India ON HER COMPUTER WHILE SHE SLEPT. A few days later, when Professor Balik woke up late one night with an empty bed, he got up sensitively to grab his coat and immediately found that his studio keys were missing.

The night is blurred, professor lek immediately drove to the studio, but when he entered the studio and thriller scene reappearance sight: Janet and translation almost similar appearance died in indoors, the room is full of rich Indian incense, and the statue of it in a sealed box god idol long legs of his own "run", very strangely stand beside Jenny bodies.

The police who responded to the report soon found a text message on Janie's cell phone two hours before her death, asking her to come to the studio for an interview. The text message was sent from a phone number used by an interpreter in India -- if the myth of the Nesty-Puppet is going to be confirmed by a series of mysterious deaths, who will be next?

Fierce show

One after another murder case of a small research institute causes high attention from the police not only, and as a result of implicative so-called tomb marriage goods and so on, so the news blasts open nature make wind and rain all over the city. To explain to the public, the police even invited experts from advanced research institutes in three European Union countries to conduct comprehensive biochemical tests on the Nether gods with cutting-edge instruments. Although nothing abnormal was found, the situation is still controversial because of the mystery.

Finally, one day, Professor Balik called his nephew Romancha into his office and whispered: "The police are questioning me, it is said that some experts fear MuZhuRen died of unknown causes the ancient high infectious diseased, led buried objects stained with extra-tough reproduction and unknown virus, so call India has proposed to strict internal material were remains and grave virology test, in case of the pandemic if need may be seized and sealed ghost god."

After hearing this, Romance asked, "Isn't all our efforts for nothing? Is there a better response?"

Professor Valleck sighed. "Well, all this is happening now, and it's all connected to the myth of the Nether gods, and there's no explanation for it. A few days ago, it occurred to me that when I left India, the local Dharma master advised me to eliminate the incense to eliminate the evil spirits. I have invited several experts to come to the studio the day after tomorrow to remove the incense of the Nesty-goddess professionally."

"Will that damage the Nether doll?" "Said Romance, a little worried.

Professor Valleck said firmly, "I've been an archaeologist for most of my life, and I don't believe in ghosts at all. Can NOW A LOT OF INEXPLICABLE CANNOT FIND OUT, FROM THE TOMB EXCAVATION TO TRANSFER TO RETURN HOME, I AM THE PERSON WHO CONTACTS THE GOD OF DESTINY OCCASIONALLY MOST, SOME ODD CAN NOT BUT THINK MORE MINUTES." Romance asked, "Is there anything you need me to do?"

Professor Balik nodded: "The primary information about Indian archaeology and the Nether puppets is pretty well collated, except for the 3D reproduction of the Nether puppets, so I may have to work overtime tonight to make the relevant computer scans of the objects."

That night, Professor Balek and Mr. Romancha burned the midnight oil in the studio. The cold winter night was blowing through the window. Romance tightened his scarf and walked away from his computer to the window. He looked out at the deserted street and gently closed some of the half-open Windows. Then, as if at random, he walked over to the fireplace, took a small glass bottle from his pocket, and poured some liquid over the charcoal.

"I'm so sleepy. I'm going out to get some hot coffee." Romance said to Professor Valik's back and threw the lump of charcoal, soaked in an unknown liquid, into the fireplace. As Romanchala opened the door to go out, several somber policemen outside flashed their papers at him. Two other men rushed inside, opened all the Windows, and pulled the charcoal out of the fire.

It turns out that Romance has a professional background but mediocre qualifications, a lack of academic creativity, and a crooked brain especially good. Taking the opportunity to follow Professor Balik in archaeology in India, he secretly sold some information in exchange for improper payment. Not wanting to be detected by the research team's assistant, he deliberately gave him a severe herpes infection with a contaminated cleaning agent. Originally thought that things were done seamlessly, but unexpectedly the assistant and the translator chat about their suspicions, and the translator and Professor Balik's wife Janie know each other, then two people become suspicious of Romance.

To cover the eyes, Romance had to kill, again and again, will translate and Janie has been lured to the studio, with a kind of Indian poison prepared in advance will poison it. This poison WAS USED IN ANCIENT India to kill THE afflicted. It is extracted from the roots of some highly poisonous plants and can penetrate the human body through the mouth, nose, and skin when exposed to high heat in a confined space and quickly cause death by heart palpitations.

Although the poison evaporates quickly and is difficult to detect by conventional tests, it gives off a slightly sour and bitter smell at high temperatures. Therefore, Romance had to open the sealed box with a copy of the key, so that the god of the gods occasionally strong incense to cover up the smell of the interior, and the police and experts in the biochemical test found a small amount of incense, in addition, to trace substances and find a breakthrough.

In the introduction to his forthcoming book, which came to light in early 2016, Professor Valleck lamented: "Some of the evil deeds of ancient humans caused by ignorance and ignorance may have been buried deep in the earth. However, the evil desires of modern people sometimes rise in the dust, and we need to be warned a lot."
