Chapter 19: Ritual: Sniffing the Mysterious Door
Sniffing the moonlight with blood, you can see the afterimage of the mysterious walking in the world. But if you want to follow the path, you must first determine the three paths of seeking knowledge, seeking death, and seeking liberation. ”
Nefertari whispered the mystical knowledge used to open the ritual: "I offer the 'Thing of Knowledge' to open the door to the mystery—"
As her whisper rang out.
The ritual known as "Sniffing the Mysterious Door" has been unmistakably activated.
The scent of a mysterious lady emerges from the ceremonial arena.
In front of Nefertari's eyes, the heavens and stars suddenly appeared.
They were moving thousands of times faster in front of Nefertari's eyes in mysterious trajectories...... The mere attempt to see the tracks gave Nefertari a splitting headache.
Of course, she knew that it was the effect of the "gravitational pull of the stars".
A high-level influence in the realm of the occult - if left unchecked, it can fall into a very difficult nightmare.
Naturally, this simple little ritual she performed would not call on the will of the righteous gods. But just the breath is enough to bring about the corresponding effect.
Impact is the remnant of power.
This is a test given by the righteous gods to the users of the ritual, and it is also a blessing to the powerful.
The three "True Worms" slowly stopped their swaying bodies.
Through the three rays of light of the topaz, the insects were gradually dyed with a clear color like moonlight.
Nefertari slashed his right index finger with an iron dagger.
She squeezed a drop of blood and dripped it on the head of one of the True Knowing Worms.
"First, [the Hidden Eye is a real organization];
"Second, [the Hidden Eye does not exist];
"I, [the Hidden Eye can be said to exist, or it can be said to be non-existent]."
After she gave three options.
The blood-stained insect slowly crawled towards the citrine at ten o'clock.
What this means is that the answer is three.
Not surprisingly.
Nefertari nodded silently.
She squeezed out a drop of blood again and asked:
"One, [The Hidden Eye has another name, and the 'Hidden Eye' itself is just its name];
"One, [the Hidden Eye is not an organization, but something else];
"Third, [the Hidden Eye no longer exists, and the person who bears its name is not the heir to the orthodoxy]."
Here are the three possibilities she came up with.
In this ritual, one True Worm can be consumed to ask for an answer to a question that chooses one of three, and a maximum of three times in a row can be asked to a question - but although it is said to be one of three, it can actually give four answers, or countless answers. Because if all three options are clearly wrong, then the worm will stay put.
With the established "three", countless possibilities are hidden.
This is also the concept of "mystery" that the mysterious lady adheres to -
This time the worm crawled towards six o'clock, and finally crawled with some hesitation towards the light at two o'clock.
This means that the answer is the first, but it may be a little bit on the side of the second.
Since it is a vest, there is no need to continue to ask about its identity...... Since it came with a vest, it must not be so easy to take off.
So Nefertari went on to narrow down the problem:
"One, [the Hidden Eye came here to take my or my friend's property];
"Second, if the Hidden Eye is not intended to take away my and my friends' property, then what the Hidden Eye is going to do may endanger our lives;
"Third, [in the case that the Hidden Eye does not meet the above two possibilities, it is now trustworthy, or temporarily trustworthy. 】”
Since he had to ask the question one more time, Nefertari took this trick.
She juxtaposed two similar answers – three options, but six possibilities.
Because of the amount of information, the worm hesitated this time, obviously confused.
It pondered for a moment.
He hesitated around the ritual again, and finally slowly climbed to the direction of ten o'clock.
Seeing that the true worm gave a third answer, Nefertari breathed a sigh of relief.
"Friend or foe, Niusel."
Nefertari summed up to his friends: "The other party may be a subordinate of some organization or some bigwig, and he came here with a name. But the organization itself is reassuring for now.
"Oh...... Also, you can talk. ”
After three inquiries, the ceremony was automatically over.
It seems that they will not offend this ancient and mysterious organization for the time being.
If the other party is here for the purpose of seeking wealth or life, then even if they are only "temporarily harmless", it still does not reassure Nefertari.
But in the third answer, the first two may be excluded. That's what allowed Nefertari to be friendly to him.
"It's worthy of a hidden eye, it's really secret."
Niusel sighed.
Nefertari frowned and muttered in a low voice, "It's strange......"
…… But since the purpose of their coming here is not to seek wealth or life, and they are trustworthy, why did the True Worm hesitate in the end?
Nefertari was a little confused.
This self-proclaimed "Hidden Eye" organization does not covet our property, and what they want to do will not endanger anyone's life.
Under this premise, it should be very trustworthy – because there is no conflict of interest at all.
But why does the true insect think that the other party may not be able to trust?
Forget it, no matter.
Just follow what you ask, and don't sway from side to side.
Nefertari made up her mind.
"They're waiting at your house now, right?"
She commanded sensibly and in great detail, "Then Niusel, give the 'Hidden Eye' a second-level clearance, and they can pass anywhere except the forbidden land and my home...... But don't tell them about the thing itself. Bring some snacks and small gifts to comfort them, as an apology for not saying goodbye, and as compensation for you to come to me to test them—don't tell them about the rest of the rest.
"Two of them? Then bring them an agate necklace and a topaz ring from my dressing table, which are the two silver ......, and then bring the lad a sapphire silver brooch and see if they dare to wear it. Come back and relay the news to me.
"Then put them near your house and find them two houses next to each other. See how they live and come back and tell me about the allocation...... Well, that's all. ”
"Anything else? I made a note of it. ”
Niusel replied.
Nefertari thought for a moment, "Wait a minute, there's one more thing—"
She narrowed her eyes.
"Give them the 'keys'."
She said.
"It's unlikely that they're really coming to solve our nightmares, but ...... What if, right? ”
"Leave it to me, Nephi."
Like a loyal dog, Niusel nodded again and again: "I have written it down!" I'll do it! ”
Seeing him hurriedly run away with his things, Nefertari smiled helplessly.
And on top of their heads.
Annan, who incarnated as "Gilandaio", has already found his next goal.
A mind thief who tries to steal the "curiosity" of Annan, an out-of-town traveler.
She's a werewolf.
What caught Annan's attention was her appearance with "Bella...... Some are similar.
