The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 19: Ritual: Sniffing the Mysterious Door
Sniffing the moonlight with blood, you can see the afterimage of the mysterious walk in the world. But if you want to follow the path forward, you must first determine the three paths of seeking knowledge, seeking death, and seeking liberation]. ”
Nefertari chanted in a low voice the mysterious knowledge used to open the ceremony: "I offer the 'object of knowledge' to open the door to mystery——"
As her whisper sounded.
The ritual called "Sniffing the Mysterious Door" has been accurately activated by it.
The aura from the mysterious lady emerged at the ceremony venue.
In front of Nefertari's eyes, the stars in the sky appeared in a trance.
They are running in front of Nefertali's eyes in mysterious trajectories at thousands of times speed... Just trying to see those trajectories clearly gives Nefertali a splitting headache.
Of course she knows that this is the influence of the "gravity of the stars".
A high-level influence belonging to the mysterious field - if left unchecked, you may fall into a very difficult nightmare.
The simple little ceremony she performed will naturally not call upon the will of the righteous god. But just the breath is enough to have a corresponding impact.
Influence is the residue of power.
This is a test given by the Righteous God to the ritual users, and it is also a blessing to those who have the ability.
The three "real insects" slowly stopped their swaying bodies.
Three rays of light shine through the topaz, causing the true insect to be gradually dyed into a clear color like moonlight.
Nefertari sliced open his right index finger with an iron dagger.
She squeezed out a drop of blood and dropped it on the head of one of the worms.
“First, [The Hidden Eye is a real organization];
"Second, [The Hidden Eye does not exist];
"I three, [the hidden eye can be said to exist or not]."
After she gave three options.
The true knowledge insect stained red by blood slowly crawled towards the citrine at ten o'clock.
What this means is, the answer is three.
As expected.
Nefertari nodded silently.
She squeezed out a drop of blood again and asked:
"First, [The Hidden Eye has another name, and the 'Hidden Eye' itself is just its nickname];
“First, [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 orthodox successor]."
These are the three possibilities she came up with.
In this ritual, you can consume a Zhenzhiworm to ask for the answer to a question of one of three choices. You can ask a question up to three times in a row - but although it is said to be a choice of three, it can actually give four answers, or Tell countless answers. Because if all three options are clearly wrong, the worm will stay put.
The established "three" hides countless possibilities.
This is also the concept of "mystery" that the mysterious lady upholds——
This time the worm crawled toward the six o'clock direction, and finally hesitantly crawled toward the two o'clock light.
This means the answer is the first, but it may have something to do with the second.
Since it is a vest, there is no need to continue to ask about its identity... Since it is wearing a vest, it will definitely not be easy to take off.
So Nefertari continued to narrow the scope of the problem:
“First, [The Hidden Eye came here to take away my or my friend’s property];
"Secondly, [If the Hidden Eye is not trying 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 where the Hidden Eye does not meet the above two possibilities, it is trustworthy now, or temporarily trustworthy.]"
Since he could only ask this question once more, Nefertari adopted this tricky approach.
She combined two similar answers together - although there are three options, there are actually six possibilities hidden.
Because the amount of information was too large, Worm hesitated this time, obviously confused.
It thought for a long time.
He hesitantly circled the ceremonial plate again, and finally slowly climbed up to the ten o'clock position.
Nefertari breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the third answer given by the True Knowledge Insect.
"A friend, not an enemy, Neusser."
Nefertari concluded to his friends: "The other party may be an organization or a subordinate of a big boss who came here with a fake name. But the organization itself can be assured at the moment.
"Oh...and you can talk now."
After three inquiries, the ceremony will automatically end.
It seems that they will not offend this ancient and mysterious organization for the time being.
If the other party comes for the purpose of seeking wealth or life, then even if they are only "temporarily harmless", Nefertari still cannot be reassured.
But in the third answer, the first two may be excluded. Only in this way can Nefertari be friendly to him.
"As expected of the secret eye, it is indeed very secret."
Nieussel sighed.
Nefertari frowned and muttered in a low voice: "How strange..."
...But since the purpose of their coming here is not to seek wealth or life, and they are trustworthy, why did the Zhenzhi hesitate in the end?
Nefertari was confused.
This organization that calls itself "The Hidden Eye" 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 Zhenzhi think that the other party may not be trustworthy?
Forget it, never mind.
Just act according to what is asked and don’t waver.
Nefertari made up his mind.
"Are they waiting at your house now?"
She gave rational and extremely detailed instructions: "Then Neuser~IndoMTL.com~ will give the 'Hidden Eye' subordinates secondary permissions. Except for the forbidden area and my home, they can pass anywhere... But Don’t tell them about the matter itself. Bring some snacks and small gifts to express your condolences to them as an apology for leaving without saying goodbye and as compensation for coming to me to test them - don’t tell them about the latter.
"Are there two girls among them? Then you bring them an agate necklace and a topaz ring from my dressing table, the two ones made of silver..., and then bring a sapphire to the young man. Silver brooch, see if they dare to wear it. Come back and tell me the news.
"Then place them near your home and find them two houses next to each other. Take a look at how they live and tell me the allocation of houses when you come back... Well, that's all."
"Any more? I've written it down."
Nieussel responded.
Nefertari thought for a moment: "Wait a minute, there is one more thing -"
She narrowed her eyes.
"Give them the 'key'."
She said.
"Although it is unlikely that he is really here to solve our nightmare, but... just in case, right."
"Leave it to me, Nephi."
Like a big loyal dog, Neusser nodded repeatedly: "I've written it all down! I'll take care of it!"
Seeing him hurried away with his things, Nefertari smiled helplessly.
And above their heads.
Annan, who transformed into "Girandaio", has also found his next target.
A mind thief who tries to steal the "curiosity" of Annan, a foreign traveler.
She is a werewolf.
What caught Annan's attention was that she looked... somewhat similar to "Bella".
