Chapter 33: "Switch" (The First Recommendation Vote)

As soon as Old Neil finished speaking, the illusory eyes in the dim darkness behind him quickly disappeared, and even Crane, who was in a state of "spiritual vision", could no longer find any traces of its existence.

"It's a representation of ritual magic. Old Neil explained.

It's kind of magical...... Like a child who has been given a new toy, Klein looks away with interest and looks around the room to see what the difference between the current alchemy room and the previous one is.

The dimness outlines the objects, and the long tables, test tubes, scales, cups, cabinets, etc., are no different from those before Klein turns on the "vision", and do not exude the slightest brilliance.

Inanimate objects have no spirituality?, Crane muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping over the small silver box on the table.

Huo Ran, he saw that there was a brilliance inside, or blue as the sky, or bright as the stars, or red as fire!

"Materials from otherworldly species still have some kind of life, uh, life, even if the original owner is dead?" Crane pondered his words, asking Old Neil with curiosity.

"The accurate description is that their spirituality remains, which is one of the keys to the success of potion preparation and one of the sources of the Extraordinary's loss of control, which Dunn should have told you. Old Neil explained calmly.

He didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly he burst out laughing:

"I remember that the 'Corpse Collector' recipe consisted of dried adult black-spotted frogs, and it took a lot of courage to take this potion. ”

Crane imagined it, feeling a little disgusted, and instead of echoing Old Neil, he turned his gaze to the dim darkness around him, which lacked adequate light, but there were no near-invisible spirits and ghosts he was expecting.

"Doesn't that mean that the world of spirits is everywhere?" he began.

Old Neil heaved and said:

"Little one, repeat after me:"

"This is the headquarters of the Night Watch Squad, this is the underground of the Church of the Night Goddess, and there are many extraordinary people here!"

"Do you think we're going to let spirits and spirits wander here? And the world of spirits and spirits are two different concepts. ”

Crane was a little embarrassed for a moment, turned his head, and pretended to look at the faint gaslight at the entrance of the secret door:

"I see. ”

As he spoke, his eyebrows suddenly began to twitch, uncontrollably, as if spasmodic.

Klein was about to turn around and ask, when he suddenly saw the inside of the secret door, on the edge of the bright yellow light, there was a figure that was close to transparency standing quietly, it took on a human form, the color of the aura was perfectly integrated with the dim environment, it was difficult to distinguish.

Hiss!

Klein's eyebrows throbbed violently, his vision became confused, and he focused on it again, but there was no "invisible" figure!

Odd...... He turned around and said:

"Mr. Neil, my eyebrows are twitching, and it hurts a little. ”

"Haha, this is very normal, you are an extraordinary person who has just been promoted, spiritual vision will cause a great burden on your 'spiritual body', and it has been consumed, and the external appearance is manifested as twitching eyebrows, stinging in the head, oversensitivity, a little hallucination and other symptoms, and in the state of spiritual vision, you are easy to feel uncomfortable with the unfamiliar environment, and it is easy to be affected by other people's emotions, which are all matters that need attention, and must be adapted and eliminated through repeated practice, in addition, use moderation and end in time. Old Neil replied with a smile.

How do you feel like you're in a mood to see...... Klein hurriedly asked:

"Then how do I get out of the psychic state?"

He originally wanted to mention the "invisible" figure he had just seen, but after hearing that there was "a little hallucination" in the symptoms, he dispelled this thought.

Combined with the twitching and tingling of the eyebrows, Old Neil's answer was completely guessable!

"Imagine the object as before, stop paying attention, then switch to a meditative state, close your eyes, control your spirit, tell it to stop repeatedly, and then open your eyes again, and you will find that the vision is over. ”

Old Neil described it leisurely, and only added at the end, "Of course, this is the most tedious and clumsy method, we can practice and repeatedly hint at ourselves in meditation, repeatedly affect the spirit, and leave a simple 'switch action', for example, if I tap the eyebrows twice, I can simply turn on the vision, and then tap twice, and I can simply end it, how to set it up, depending on your own habits and hobbies." ”

"Understood. Klein thought about it, and planned to imitate old Neil, using the action of tapping his eyebrows twice as a "switch" for vision.

"One hit" is easy to confuse with instinctive knocking, "three strokes" can waste precious time in a crisis situation, and as for the action of snapping the fingers, it is too personal and noticeable.

He retracted his attention, visualized the balls of light that had gathered, and re-entered a meditative state.

Under the guidance of old Neil, after repeated hints and exercises, he finally "set up" the "switch action".

Clenched his fist lightly and tapped the base joint of his index finger twice in the center of his eyebrows, and Crane's eyes were full of aura with different thicknesses and different colors.

After two more knocks, everything returned to its original state, and there was no more peculiarity.

"I've finally mastered the ......," he said with joy.

It was only then that he found himself so tired that he seemed to be able to sleep at any moment, and his head felt as if he had stayed up all night.

Old Neil smiled and said:

"We are not 'sleepless', every time we practice too much or use our vision, we need a period of sleep to recover, you can go home now, have a good rest, go to Welch's residence in the afternoon and walk around the Iron Cross, try to find the clues of the Antigonus family notes as soon as possible, and wait until tomorrow, we will continue to teach the occult knowledge, and of course, you must not forget to read those historical documents. ”

"Okay. Klein raised his hands and feet in agreement with Old Neil's arrangement.

Grabbed his cane, walked out of the alchemy room, watched the secret door close, old Neil returned to the arsenal, Crane rubbed his eyebrows and temples, pressed the handrail, and went up the stairs step by step.

At this moment, Dunn Smith came from behind, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and his eyes were deep and said:

"Listening to old Neil, you're very adaptable, whether it's meditation or vision. ”

"Maybe it's just the peculiarity of 'soothsayers'. Klein replied modestly.

He guessed that Dunn was guarding the weapons depot for Old Neil.

Dunn slowed down, only slightly ahead of Klein, and after a few seconds of silence, he said without turning around:

"You have to remember that curiosity kills cats and extraordinary, and don't try to find out what you shouldn't hear and what you shouldn't see. ”

"Okay. Klein knew it was another reminder about the Extraordinary getting out of control.

Entering the Black Thorn Security Company, he said hello to Roshan, who obviously didn't know that he had become an extraordinary, and slowly walked out the door into the street, riding a trackless public carriage back to Daffodil Street, almost falling asleep on the way.

It was still morning, and the temperature was twenty-six or seven, and Crane removed the copper key from his belt and opened the door to his house.

In the house, many items have not been added, the living room and dining room are empty, and Benson and Melissa go to work and study, and they have left early.

Crane didn't care about anything else, closed the door with his backhand, and walked briskly upstairs into his own bedroom with bookshelves.

After taking off his tuxedo and hanging it on the coat rack, he couldn't wait to fall back onto the bed, and as soon as he touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep.

Crane was awakened by the bright sun, and he turned his head sideways, slowly opened his eyes, and found that the sun was just right outside.

"What time is it? you won't miss the 'Tarot Party' in the afternoon, right?" he struggled to get out of bed and walked to the coat rack, as the pocket watch was still in the inside pocket of his tuxedo and had not yet been removed.

Not only did he forget about it, but he also forgot to close the bedroom door and pull the curtains of the convex belly window.

Syllable!

Klein took out his pocket watch, opened it, and immediately relaxed.

It was only past twelve o'clock, and there was still a lot of time before the agreed three o'clock in the afternoon.

- Today is Monday, the day he gathers with the "Hanged Man" and "Justice".

Klein thought and tapped his eyebrows twice, his eyes changed again, and he saw his aura regain its bright color.

After two more knocks, he withdrew from the vision, and he easily walked to the first floor, boiled a pot of water, put some inferior tea leaves, and nibbled on a loaf of rye bread with a little cream.

After that, Klein dug out the history textbook and the original owner's notes, and leisurely "reviewed" and consolidated.

............

At 2:57 p.m., Crane closed the book, closed the cap of his pen, and drew the curtains with a single brush.

Then, he locked the bedroom door, making it unusually dark.

He tapped his eyebrows twice, turned on his vision, and looked around to the left and right.

After making sure that there were no disembodied spirits in the room, Crane ended his vision, took out his pocket watch, and checked the time.

Tick, tick.

At three o'clock and one minute, he opened his feet and took four counterclockwise steps as before, forming a square, and each step was silently recited in Chinese.

It's just that he didn't prepare the staple food this time.

Klein closed his eyes and felt a slight itch on the back of his hand, as if the four black dots that made up the small square were highlighting and emerging.

Frantic screams and whispers of temptation began to echo, but Crane found that the headache wasn't as bad as it had been last time.

It's not that he's unaffected, it's that he's trying to control himself from actively listening.

He has become an "extraordinary person", and in such an environment, he has a little more self-control.

Soon, his "body" became lighter, and he floated upward, and saw the diffuse, gray, boundless, hazy mist, and saw the crimson "stars", two of which seemed to have a subtle connection with him, making him feel very familiar.

Klein looked at himself vaguely and whispered in confusion:

"The astral spirit that old Neil said?"

He calmed for a few seconds, and once again conjured up the majestic temple above the gray mist, the long bronze table directly below the wide dome, and the twenty-two high-backed chairs with the symbols of different constellations.

Klein quietly walked over and sat down, enveloping his body and face in a thicker gray mist, and then stretched out his right hand to point at the two familiar "crimson" stars in the distance, forming a wonderful connection.
