Chapter 2 Invisible Art

a long time ago.

There is such a group of people.

They have unimaginable curiosity and extraordinary insight.

With the help of that keen insight, they gradually discovered some phenomena and laws that were different from the common sense in the world.

As they continue to explore these phenomena and laws, they gradually become aware of the existence of a world that is completely different from the world that mortals live in...

They believe that world is inaccessible to mortals.

It is the abode of the immortals high above, the secluded place where the underworld flows, and the place of constant contradictions.

and gave it many names.

Fairyland, Hades, Pure Land, Vacuum Homeland...

But now, it is called "illusion world" by the world.

Now I also have laurel petals and five-color colored glaze.

"How much?" Jiang Ge frowned.

Then, he made many twists and turns and walked to an old grocery store in the dark depths of the shopping street.

"Next, it's time to find a suitable venue to hold the ceremony."

Because the shadow never appears during the day and disappears before dawn every day.

According to Wang De, one time he suffered from hemorrhoids, so he tried it out of curiosity, and wow, it was really cured.

Exposing a large expanse of blue sky.

In recent years, with the empire's attack on the Second Mountain and Sea, some strange customs have spread there, including bloodletting therapy.

This is what he interpreted in a book.

"It's already here. Please take a look at it. They were just picked this morning."

Seriously, if the doctors in the hospital really can't cure your disease.

Jiang Ge didn't know how bloodletting could cure hemorrhoids.

So this is the right place.

Then why not try the bloodletting therapy I told you before, it’s amazing, I had hemorrhoids last time..."

Jiang Ge nodded slightly. The Mirror Ceremony did not have high requirements on the environment, but only on the celestial phenomena.

That must be the creation of invisible art.

"The fear that mortals have of invisible arts does not lie in its destructive power, but in the weirdness that ordinary people cannot understand."

"Teacher Wang De." Jiang Ge nodded in response, "I need to go out and deal with some things."

He is a very nice person, very enthusiastic and likes to try new things.

Sitting in the cafeteria of Longgong University, Jiang Ge was chewing the food in front of him and thinking.

Jiang Ge followed the sound and looked.

Materials required for the ceremony include:

Ten minutes later.

Yes, this teacher Wang De was the stupid... kindhearted person who recommended bloodletting therapy to him.

Just like a sword cannot hurt a disembodied ghost.

There was even a silly... well-meaning person who recommended bloodletting to him.

"Mirror, laurel petals, five-color glass"

Leaving Ryugu University.

It was also during an experiment that he unexpectedly discovered that fire could block the movement of shadows.

A young man wearing glasses, bald and looking like a big boss, sat next to him with a dinner plate.

Wang De, the literary history lecturer recruited by Ryugu University with him this year, is five or six years older than him, but they have a good relationship.

This is one of the materials for the invisible technique he will perform next.

Maybe sunlight should work too.

But he was grateful for this.

Originally, he didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.

No, no need to doubt it.

And it is the most troublesome type among the invisible creations.

Now he feels like he probably understands.

"Teacher Jiang Ge, are you going out?"

His report was obviously ignored and fell into disgrace, with no response to date.

"Guest, what a coincidence, the five-color colored glaze you requested is out of stock over there. I bought a new batch from another place. The quality is definitely better than the last batch, but the price is a little more expensive..."

"So, the only way I can deal with that shadow now is the invisible technique that also comes from the illusion world!"

Shopping Street.

It's not that he hasn't thought about asking other people or even the authorities for help. The problem is that no one except him can see the shadow.

That's not ascending directly to heaven.

He had already prepared the mirror.

In Jiang Ge's hand, a glass bead reflected colorful colors in the sunlight, just like a dream.

Ordinary physical attacks also have no effect on that shadow.

Jiang Ge opened the wooden box. Inside was an ice pack for preservation and a small bag of white flower petals.

It's laurel petals.

"Boss Boss, has the item I ordered arrived?"

Jiang Ge's mouth twitched slightly and he said a few words vaguely, "Well...thank you, I will try it if I have the chance."

After finding an iron rod full of rust, Jiang Ge cleaned up the open space under the big hole and threw the iron rod aside.

Jiang Ge thought for a moment and then headed straight out of the city.

He got it when he interpreted a book called "The Origin of Mirrors".

But now, Jiang Ge suspected that the shadow he encountered was the creation of the invisible art.

The landlady took out a small wooden box and handed it to Jiang Ge.

A sharp look flashed in Jiang Ge's eyes.

Jiang Ge felt a little unhappy leaving the grocery store.

The owner of the grocery store is a middle-aged man with a treacherous look.

The roof of a certain part of the factory was dilapidated and decayed due to disrepair, and a large hole with a diameter of three to four meters was broken.

However, he is not in the mood to bargain now.

Jiang Ge got on the tram heading to the shopping street.

The boss rubbed his fingers and said with a flattering smile, "It's 10 or 20 silver coins more expensive than the last batch."

A familiar voice came from beside me.

The surrounding area is deserted and there are few traces of people.

Some people around him thought he was ill and had hallucinations.

Jiang Ge came to a flower shop and asked.

…………

Confirm there are no problems.

He was made weak by the shadow, and then he was completely bled.

The invisible technique he mastered is a ritual called [Mirror Ritual].

Jiang Ge nodded, paid and left.

And only firelight can do it, and the light from electric lamps has no effect at all.

…………

"By the way, beasts are also a problem..."

Wang De looked at Jiang Ge's face and said with concern, "Teacher Jiang Ge, I heard that you have been on leave for several days...
