The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 247: Ritual: Contact with the Night
"Player Super Justice ()"
"Ai Lei" went to the kendo gym of Delicious Wind Goose alone.
It can be said that they are indeed a group of players with the strongest psychological quality... Before "Ai Lei" arrived, Yummy Wind Goose had calmed down and started investigating while pretending to be his own identity.
After "Ai Lei" arrived, he, like other players... easily gave Annan his trust. It was agreed that at midnight, he would bring Longjing tea and the wandering children to meet in front of Ailei's house.
But Annan did not go looking for Longjing tea himself.
Because this is no longer necessary.
After that, he helped "Ai Lei" start carving the ceremony hall in the basement of his dojo.
——This is why Annan asked the wandering children to send ritual materials here.
[Annan, are you... planning to call the Bone Burial Granny? 】
"No."
Annan said leisurely: "This is not a ceremony to call the burying mother-in-law."
"Did Ai Lei ask something?"
Delicious Wind Goose, who was kneeling on the ground and carving ceremonial lines with a silver ceremonial knife, raised his head when he heard this and explained with a smile: "She thought this was a ceremony in the bone burial field? How could she think so?"
"It's very simple, because I have tried it before... As Ai Lei, I can't use the magic in the fields of [Skeleton] and [Betrayal] at all. And I have also tried it, and the ritual of the true **** cannot be used. ..."
"Ai Lei" crossed her legs and sat on a chair carving wooden runes with a knife. She chuckled and turned around and asked: "If it were you and you wanted to verify whether this is the Misty Continent, how would you use it? Judgment by ritual?"
"In my words... I should call Sir Silver. After all, as long as the price is enough, the success rate of the Silver Siren Ceremony is the highest - He will not refuse any form of transaction, as long as the price is right. If this world clearly has Trading behavior and currency, but Yin Jue did not respond to the ceremony... something must be wrong."
Delicious Wind Goose thought for a moment and nodded in response.
"Well said."
Annan praised: "As expected of you, who studied rituals with Nefertari... When I get back, I will send you to Rasputin's house. I will teach you some top-secret large-scale rituals." ”
"...Well, boss. What you said is not a good behavior in our place..."
Delicious Wind Goose said awkwardly.
Annan just smiled.
"Ai Lei" quickly changed the subject, and while lowering his head to carve the wooden block cut off from the chair, he commented: "Your behavior is correct. Because among the gods, there is no such thing as the Silver Siren and the cup-bearing girl." Influence'The **** with the highest response rate when assisting and positioning——
"For example, the bone burying mother-in-law when she has not encountered the undead, the red knight when she has not encountered a battle, the moth mother when she is not a woman performing rituals... will rarely respond to the ritual appeals of non-believers. It also depends on your mood. The presence of the lucky lady who responds and the mysterious lady who is extremely demanding on accuracy will also confuse your judgment to a great extent.
"Like you, I tried Yin Jue's ritual before and found that it didn't work; but because this nightmare was caused by the Bone Burial Granny, I tried the Bone Burial Granny's ritual again and found that there was a response. ..."
"Ai Lei" said with a chuckle: "So I tentatively concluded that this is a world where 'other gods do not exist, only the Bone Burial Granny exists'. Ai Lei also heard this. ”
But upon hearing this, Delicious Wind Goose frowned.
He just finished the carving ceremony, stood up, and glanced strangely at "Ai Lei" who had her legs crossed and huddled in the chair. Just as he was about to say something, the doorbell rang.
"It's a wandering child."
"Ai Lei" added.
So Yummy Feng Goose nodded and went to open the door first.
Because there were outsiders around, Ai Lei, who was still trying to keep quiet even though they couldn't hear her words, finally couldn't help but ask:
[Uncle Yummy Wind Goose, I seemed to have something to say just now... Did I miss something? 】
"...You don't need to call him uncle. Although he looks very...stable, he is only twenty-nine years old this year."
"Ai Lei" raised the corner of her mouth and chuckled: "I'm very happy that you can realize that there is a problem here... although it's still a little late."
"——Because this reasoning is wrong."
The steady voice of Delicious Wind Goose came from the door: "Why have you only tried Silver Siren and Bone Burial Granny, and concluded that there is only Bone Burial Granny in this world? This is completely unreasonable, and I think Annan It is impossible for His Highness to make such a reasoning..."
"Ai Lei" heard this and just smiled.
She stepped forward and took the ritual materials from the delicious wind goose.
——Three black horns of a ram, three black horns of a goat, and three pairs of horns of an ox. There are also three black candles, three mirrors, a vial of crocodile tears, twenty-seven mouse hearts, twenty-seven centipede venom glands, and a vial of ointment of silence.
【...Huh? 】
Ai Lei was startled when she saw it.
【This is not...】
"Does it look familiar, Ai Lei?"
"Ai Lei" asked warmly.
Of course Ailei will look familiar.
Part of these ritual materials...that is, three candles, three black ram horns, three black male goat horns, and three pairs of ox horns are the parts where Amos sacrificed Elle to the skeleton. The materials used in the ritual of "Contacting the Bones" are used during the public period.
"You know what, Elle."
Annan spoke in a calm tone, speaking softly word by word: "This ritual of [contacting the Skeleton Lord] is actually a low-end version of another ritual.
"When it comes to [3], what do you think of?"
[Veto and the God of Darkness... Lady Silence? 】
"——That's right."
Annan replied.
As he spoke, he inserted the ritual materials in order into the ritual array carved on the ground by the delicious wind goose.
Every "corner" has its own place. Around the nine horns, rat hearts and centipede venom glands are placed in groups of "nine" to form nine triangles - this is a ritual substitute for the baby's heart and the villain's brain.
After that, Annan placed three black candles on the outermost periphery... and used three mirrors to form two overlapping triangles, and then lit the candles.
The moment the third candle was lit, the warm orange flame turned into a cold icy blue flame. Afterwards, Annan extinguished the original light source in the room.
"The delicious wind goose is right. I just confirmed that Silver Sir's ritual is invalid, and I also confirmed that the Bone Burial Granny's ritual is valid... Why do you believe that only the Bone Burial Granny exists in this world?
"I was also thinking, is it possible that only the bone-burying mother-in-law is special? But then, I heard Amos say [Ya Weng's award], [the ceremony dedicated to Ya Weng]... until then I can confirm that there is a concept of 'ritual' in this world, but it is not so powerful and cannot summon extraordinary power.
"Then the question arises. Why is it that in this slice of the world, the righteous **** exists but cannot respond to the ritual? In other words, why does the 'ritual' itself not have extraordinary power?"
Annan said... he burned the three wooden talismans he had carved with the runes of the Silent Lady on three candles.
After the rune came into contact with the candle burning with cold blue fire, it also flickered with a cold light. It's not like the wood is burning by fire, it's more like it's being gradually "swallowed" by the fire.
Soon, the runes disappeared in Annan's hands.
The shadowy runes appeared directly above the candle flame.
"The answer is very simple~IndoMTL.com~because the non-existent **** is not Sir Silver...but the mysterious lady."
As Annan spoke, he dropped crocodile tears on the three candles to extinguish them.
The candle flame was gradually extinguished, but the three rotating runes were still directly above the candle.
Finally, the flames were completely extinguished.
The three runes rotated quietly and silently.
"This is the main body of the ritual of 'Contacting the Bones'... [Contacting the Dark Night]."
——Not contact with the Lady of Silence, but contact with the night.
At the moment when the ceremony is successful.
The whole world fell into dusk at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And the success of this ritual...means that all Annan's previous inferences are correct.
It's not that the sun is falling, but that time is passing by a thousand times - if you could see the people outside at this time, it would be like watching a fast-forward video, seeing them running around so fast.
This ceremony, without anyone noticing, directly set the world's time to nine o'clock in the evening.
The delicious geese and wandering children around me have disappeared without a trace... They should have found Longjing tea by now. According to Annan's previous instructions, they may be on their way to the rice fields, or they may be assassinating "unworthy descendants".
But they are not in the kendo gym... If everything goes well, they should not be crazy now.
"It's blackjack now. Two plus one is three; blackjack is also [nine o'clock at night], nine is three times three; there are also three hours between nine and twelve ...In other words, there are still three hours until midnight. This is Lady Silence's 'holy hour'."
"Ai Lei" calmly raised her head.
"—I will begin to announce the answer right here and now."
