Chapter 16 Ceremony
Everyone was confused. Does this game have anything to do with their current situation?
Luo Xin carefully looked at the faces of several people, slowly raised her hands and said: "Ahem, um, I want to ask, isn't this the Four Corners Game? Can it really help us find Wang Guang?"
"Well...someone does call it that." Xu Di pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "What do you think the essence of the technique is?"
"Ah?" Luo Xin blushed and hesitated as she never expected to be asked this question.
"I think it's the use of energy, extraordinary power or something like that."
"Wrong, let me tell you. Anyway, you will know it after the first script." Jiang Yuan said, looking up at Xu Di, who looked noncommittal.
"The essence of magic is actually ritual. Basically all magic that you can easily access and have the opportunity to learn is like this. There may be exceptions, but that should be a deeper level.
Maybe you will feel strange when you see Xu Di and me. We seem to have some power that you can't understand, and we know some things that you don't know.
But we are not really that different from you. Essentially, I, he, and you are all human beings.
The reason why I say this is to tell you that the source of our life has not changed, and it is not some weird monster or disgusting ghost.
So why are we able to master some additional abilities? Some abilities that ordinary humans are absolutely unable to achieve."
Jiang Yuan's white fingers quickly played with the scalpel, and the flexible and small blade drilled back and forth in his palm, like an earthworm coming to life.
"Because we have mastered the ritual."
He said lightly, his tone beginning to be mixed with some fear and yearning.
"Since it is called a ritual, it is obvious that this is a way to obtain power from higher-level living beings.
After understanding that we are all in human form, you must understand one more sentence: Mortals can never fight against the weird!
This is because mortal bodies are fundamentally unable to master strange powers, because we have not evolved the organs involved in such things!
As a human being, you can live in a world without demons—well, my hometown is a plane without demons. I’m going off topic. Let’s continue.
In the non-demon plane, you can become the top of the food chain by evolving technology, but in the low-demon or even high-demon plane, you cannot fight against the races that are born with magic!
Then, in the competition with the races who are born with magic power, some people discovered some indescribable and indescribable higher forms of life forms by chance.
Some of them are full of malice towards human beings. Just getting close - no, observing! Just observing can make people go crazy, and in serious cases, they may even die on the spot!
But some occasionally respond to humans and grant humans various magical abilities in some way. Some of these abilities may be just disposable items, but there are also solidified states that can be used for a long time!
This method of seeking abilities from unknown beings is a ritual!"
Having said this, he seemed to be unable to restrain himself. He suddenly acted like crazy, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were squinting, and his saliva was drooling. Luo Xin was so frightened that he exclaimed repeatedly.
Xu Di's face was solemn, and he watched Jiang Yuan's chest rise and fall like a blower. After a long time, he finally adjusted himself. A cold light flashed through the glass lens, and he explained in a normal tone:
"It's okay, because I mentioned some indescribable existence just now, and it's a little out of control. It's okay now.
Let's continue - most of the rituals are very secretive and are only spread in specific circles. There are also some rituals that are very widely spread, such as the four-corner ceremony just mentioned, the hair combing ceremony, the blood ceremony, etc., each with different
Effect.
These rituals all have their own effects. Generally speaking, the more secretive the ritual, the more terrifying and unpredictable the power. This does not mean that rare things are more valuable, but because the ritual information itself also carries strange power!
When obtaining ritual information, people often lose their sanity and go crazy and die because of the obscure knowledge!
The more advanced the rituals, the higher the hidden dangers. When most of the people who know these rituals die, the rituals will naturally become secret rituals and may even be lost forever.
Xu Di and I are people who have solidified the spiritual body ritual. This is a preferential treatment given to us by the script space. Anyone who passes the first script can redeem it at a certain price. It is a relatively common ritual.
Don't think that being universal means weak, this is a very useful ritual!
In addition to comprehensively strengthening your strength, endurance, neurological response, recovery ability and resistance to impact.
It can also quantify your various life indicators, allowing you to control your body more intuitively.
And only after solidifying this ritual can you try to arrange other rituals!
You must remember! Frail and insignificant mortals must modify their bodies in subtle ways, otherwise there is a risk of exploding and dying!
And many rituals rely on spiritual bodies to exist. For example, my scalpel is a solidified soul-binding ritual. But only spiritual bodies can soul-bind, carrying an item in the spiritual body forever and taking it out when needed.
In addition, the spirit body also comes with an additional spiritual eye, which can check the players in the game and observe some existences that are difficult to detect.
For example, that resentful spirit behind you that has been listening with great interest, if I didn't know that it couldn't hear our conversation at all, I would not dare to say it directly."
He pointed at a corner behind Luo Xin, which made the latter shudder and jump to the side.
"Then, why is it certain that the Four Corners Ceremony can bring back Wang Guang?"
After being silent all this time, Linnard suddenly asked.
"Well...remember when you asked me how to escape from here at the beginning, I told you not to worry?" Jiang Yuan did not answer the question directly and turned to Luo Xin.
"Remember...remember."
"Actually, I didn't know how to escape at that time. I only found out about it after Xu Di proposed the Four Corners Ceremony."
"Ah?! Then why did you tell me not to worry!"
"Haha..." He smiled and said lightly: "The rookie tastes really like me..."
"Let me tell you, everything in the script world follows its own rules. The soul-sealing formation in front of us is a dead end for us, because we don't understand it at all, but you must always believe that there is always someone,
It's well documented in his script."
Linard touched his chin and frowned: "In other words, when encountering a certain death situation, the only way to break it is to find a way to break it from everyone's script?"
"That's right."
Hearing his affirmative answer, Linnard felt extremely ridiculous.
"Then if the way to break the situation lies with Wang Guang, wouldn't we be doomed?"
"So to speak!"
"So when you say don't be anxious, you just mean to wait for death?"
"If no one knows how to break the situation, they will really have to wait to die."
Hearing his answer, Luo Xin felt a surge of unknown anger and couldn't help but say:
"Then what if the person who knows how to break the situation is a fool and can't find clues from his script?"
"Let's all die together."
Chapter completed!
