In the dimly lit collection, Annan raised his head slightly.

Under the candlelight, the silver-white hair exposed from the white hood emitted a warm milky white halo.

Annan's face seemed to glow.

His emerald green left eye, which shone with a warm luster, reflected the flickering candlelight.

It was a brass lamppost dotted around the room, and near the top of the lamppost was a large, open palm holding the base of a candle. This shape can't help but remind Annan of the dog food mob in a certain game......

Those candles are very thick. Each one was thicker than Annan's arm, and there was no carving or pattern on the surface, just pure, silently burning white candles.

The scene in front of him reminded Annan of the many candles placed in that room in the nightmare of the Pale Princess.

"Please come and sit here."

Catwoman Vasika reached out to hold Annan's shoulder, and her tone was soft and elegant: "Tea has been prepared for you." ”

She nudged Annan and led him up the spiral staircase to the high pedestal at the side of the room.

It's very cleverly designed – you can sit here and see all the display cases that surround the central ring of the entire U-shaped hall. And when you look at it from any position, you will subconsciously ignore this position...... Even before Annan walked up the stairs, he didn't notice that there were tables and seats.

…… I don't know who designed it. It's really a very clever design.

"This is the [Oblique Gaze] ritual. Ability to deflect attention in a range of 180 degrees. ”

Catwoman Vasika noticed Annan's gaze, smiled slightly, and explained softly, "It's you before...... The ceremony that was personally arranged for us. ”

…… Oh, it's me.

That's fine.

Sitting in his seat, Vasika personally poured a cup of tea for Annan.

It is Annan's favorite bubble fruit tea.

So, I used to know her well?

"Don't you need a green fire?"

Annan didn't rush to ask other questions, but asked casually.

The lights here aren't bright.

Roughly similar to the brightness of a candlelit dinner.

Romance is indeed very romantic, but the curtains are so thick that they are reminiscent of a black Internet café...... Annan's perceptual attribute is very strong, but if he is an ordinary person, I am afraid that it will take all his strength to see what is inside.

If you use a green flame, it will be much brighter than this with these glass cabinets.

"Although the probability is very low, there is still a risk of explosion in green fires. And there are almost no enchantments, which can resist explosions from within. It is also impossible for me to impose a fixed ritual on every exhibit...... After all, some exhibits are to be auctioned. ”

Vasika replied in a light tone: "As long as there is a risk, you can't use it." For the Prophet Wizard, there is a 1% chance that it can be increased to 100%. That's the ability to manipulate possibilities...... Candles are different.

"However, I heard that a few years ago, there seems to be an optimized version of the green fire technology on the side of Zedi Black Tower, which is still in the experimental stage. But when it is spread and popularized, it is estimated that it will take five or six years...... We'll talk about that then.

"And ......"

"And?"

Annan asked.

Vasika smiled.

"Moreover, light and secrecy are opposites.

"When seeking the power of the secret as the core of the ritual, it is necessary to ensure that the 'light' and 'fire' in the field are weak and stable enough. If they are too active, then this becomes 'revealed' and 'revealed', and if they are too inert, then this becomes 'fear' and 'darkness'.

"The former will allow some of the exhibits to bypass my sealing ceremony, directly affecting the hearts and minds of distinguished guests, making them unprovoked to become religious, fanatical, and passionate...... The latter, on the other hand, will allow some unspeakable dark things to breed unchecked, and even burrow into other people's dreams. ”

Maintaining the balance of elements between the plural ceremonial fields is a very cumbersome and difficult technique.

Catwoman said.

That being said......

Annan glanced at Vasika again.

She herself gives people the feeling that it is not so "balanced". It's too unbalanced.

Eyeshadow and nails, different hairstyles, and the opposite bare feet and boots......

If you look closely, the left and right sides of her top are also of different materials. On the left side is fur as the base and cloth as the decoration, and on the right side is the opposite; And the patterns on both sides are not the same.

Her right hand, like her left, was as smooth as her left; The left hand is covered with a long leather glove that covers it close to the elbow. Even she has earrings on only one side of her ear, and the brooch is only on one side.

It's like deliberately emphasizing "asymmetry".

Just looking at it can be a strong attraction to the eye – and a sense of disgust.

The ability to break free from this preconceived and superficial disgust is Annan's unique ability. And not the "normal situation" that the average person will encounter.

"I guess ......"

Catwoman stretched her tone and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, do you want to ask, what is the imbalance in my body?" ”

"That's what I asked the first time I came?"

Annan asked rhetorically.

The Catwoman matriarch smiled and nodded.

Her hands are crossed with ten fingers, and some of the sharp nails are reminiscent of a cannibal flower with an open mouth.

Her own chin rested lightly in the center of the cross of her fingers.

Catwoman's vertical pupils, which gave people a strong sense of danger, narrowed slightly, and said with interest, "But you haven't triggered the ritual twice in a row." ”

"Ritual?"

What ritual?

Annan was about to ask.

But in the next moment, his keen perception felt the sense of crisis one step ahead of others.

It was a sense of crisis like being pointed at with a knife and a gun being aimed.

Was it ambushed?

No, that's not right......

This sense of crisis comes from outside the door-

"No need to be nervous, Your Majesty."

Catwoman said leisurely: "It's just a small person." ”

With her calm voice, three masked men burst in, looking around in search of something. But they didn't see the two sitting on the high platform.

Among them, there was one person who gave Annan the strongest sense of danger...... The last time Annan felt this kind of experience was when he saw "Kim" in the nightmare of the White Tower.

This is supposed to be a wizard of destruction-

But they can't do anything.

I saw Catwoman slowly drop the index finger and middle finger of her right hand.

The three men suddenly shook and fell to their knees.

They screamed, then suddenly began to vomit.

Catwoman's brow furrowed slightly, and her crossed fingers loosened.

Immediately the three men fainted.

This strange scene made Annan a little puzzled.

Although this Catwoman is indeed a gold-level transcendent......

But Annan didn't see the curse bearer on her body activated. And the bronze-level power didn't seem to be enough to make at least one silver-level destruction wizard instantly unconscious.

"This is the power of the ceremonial master."

Catwoman explained.

She chuckled, "Break into the ceremonial master's home field...... The people behind them really dare to think.

"This poor wizard is probably also being used. I guess I was thinking that after confirming that you are here, I will trigger some mechanism, or let someone next to me kill the destroyer to blow you up. ”

The silver-tier sorcerer of destruction is an extremely terrifying explosive in itself.

At that time, the effect of the martyrdom explosion when Kim died even destroyed a quarter of the wizard's tower. Annan and the others were separated by a wizard's tower, and they could all feel the violent shaking of the ground.

If it had suddenly exploded in such a confined space, Annan might have really had an accident.

But in front of this catwoman, this assassination operation, which was originally very likely to be successful, was strangely stopped.

“…… Is it an unbalanced force? ”

Annan was vaguely aware of something.

The feeling of those three people was like that of violent motion sickness.

Catwoman nodded and smiled happily, "It's you." Even if he loses his memory, he is still so sharp......

"This is my [Unbalanced Beauty] ritual.

Catwoman Vasika smiled slightly: "Under 'some' conditions, anyone who is disgusted or adored by me will have their 'balance' controlled by me. As the depth of this hostility or love increases, so does the degree of control.

"The three of them have pure murderous intent towards me, which is an imbalance. So I controlled their balance and made them spin more than 500 times horizontally and vertically. Then they cut off their spiritual and physical connections...... Make it [completely unbalanced]. ”

“…… Why are you telling me this? ”

"Do you need to ask?"

Catwoman smiled happily, "This ritual of mine is what you did for me." ”
