Chapter 137: Today (13)
For the remaining time, Everly no longer read every page of the diary carefully. Instead, she flipped through the pages with a “rustle, rustle,” beginning to skim.
After learning about the existence of the ‘Ti bon ange,’ Mark conducted countless experiments centered on this special type of soul. Along the way, because the voodoo magic he used was insufficient, he also drew upon techniques from different systems, including African voodoo and Thailand’s sorcery practices.
Finally, he creatively developed a method to artificially create a “living person”:
First, using secret voodoo techniques, he stripped flesh containing the Ti bon ange from various corpses.
Then, using the method of refining corpse oil from Thailand’s sorcery, he produced a special yellow oily substance to coat the flesh, thoroughly saturating both the flesh and the Ti bon ange, which extended their preservation.
Lastly, he used hair taken from the deceased—hair that carried resentment and unwillingness—to stitch the pieces of flesh together into a human form. This step was inspired by the creation of voodoo dolls.
Because each person’s Ti bon ange resides in different pieces of flesh, Mark sometimes had to use magic to artificially fix the positions of the Ti bon ange in order to assemble a complete human form. However, the success rate of this magic was not 100%, so the entire process took him a long time.
He worked continuously from April until the end of November. Only when Barbara’s corpse was delivered did he finally obtain the last piece of flesh he needed.
It is worth noting that during this period, compared to his usual long-winded entries, one day’s diary was extremely brief. That entry was so striking that Everly deliberately paused to read it carefully.
