Before preparing to explore Yiyong, Fan Ning recalled the situation after waking up from a dream with Lu and Roy.
He took out the small black bottle he obtained from the Guidance School and threw the art museum key inside.
Since the necklace and the key were left outside, the bottle cap could not be closed tightly, and some of the radiant spiritual fluid left inside would inevitably evaporate into inspiration and escape into the world.
But in order to verify my conjecture, there is no other way.
In the dream state of sleep, Fan Ning experienced the dream and understood the dream, and chanted the hidden prayer about "Endless Fugue".
He discovered that the "four-fold line" symbol of the Lord of Witness appeared on a certain edge of the star world, and then decisively tore it open.
The burning speed of inspiration speeds up, and the consciousness changes from a lucid dream state to a semi-awake and semi-fuzzy state.
His spirit fell on an empty light brown wooden stage.
There are thick curtains with plant patterns, columns decorated with curved plaster lines, walls with stained glass windows, and dome skylights that reveal a faint light.
On the steps deep inside is a pipe organ shrouded in golden mist. Below the stage are several rows of long mahogany chairs and a gallery lined with candle holders.
"This church again."
Fan Ning opened his palms and visualized the shape of the art museum key in his mind.
In the dream, a small, inconspicuous black key successfully appeared in the palm of his hand.
"There is still no phenomenon of radiant mass gathering."
According to Fan Ning's perception, there is quite a lot of inspiration in this church, but there are indeed no floating light spots of various colors.
The last effect only happened once?
Or is it actually not the migration here, but outside?
He jumped off the stage lightly, passed through the rows of long mahogany chairs, and looked at the door again, which was made of a whole piece of marble, as well as the spiral groove and the "four-fold line" relief in the middle.
Putting his hand on the cold relief, Fan Ning carefully experienced the feeling of the inspiration from his previous works being absorbed into it.
The golden streamer has been filled to nearly half of the first ring of the spiral groove, and now it continues to "charge" again.
After stopping this time, we still couldn't reach the first inner ring of the spiral groove, but we were very close.
Fan Ning remembered that the last time it was not even half.
There is an additional small-scale rendition of "Death and the Maiden".
"I really look forward to what will happen if I fill them all with golden streamers."
"Go out and take a look first." He took a step forward.
"boom--!"
The "forehead" of Fan Ning's spirit body hit the stone door firmly. There was no pain, but the impact made him feel dazed.
Why can't I get out?
Fan Ning in the dream was still rubbing his forehead habitually.
Yes, after I "charged" the relief before, the entire door turned into an illusory wave-like appearance, and the tactile sensation disappeared.
This did not happen this time.
"Shouldn't the progress bar of the light golden streamer be further forward this time than last time?" Fan Ning wondered inwardly.
Could it be that I need to fill the first spiral with streamer before I can go out again?
Well, in this case, I can't go to the outside world through the church. If I want to study the key to the art museum, I can only
Fan Ning walked back to the wooden stage, closed his eyes, relaxed his thoughts, curbed the burning of inspiration, and imagined that the entire spirit body was falling lightly.
When he opened his eyes again, he drifted back to the star realm, an ordinary dream.
A factory glowing with purple-red light. The air is filled with the smell of burning. There are scrap iron buckets and greasy wrenches at the feet. A steam boiler buzzes not far away. The surrounding dark machinery is spliced by huge rivets.
, the chain runs with dense gears, tracks and steel levers.
The art museum key reappeared on Fan Ning's palm.
Points of light from all directions converged towards his hand, among which a more intense stream of purple light came from the steam boiler.
That's the edge of the star realm. If you get into the boiler, you can reach an unknown place somewhere in the world.
According to the previous rules, the art museum key in reality should be precipitating the radiant spirit liquid at this time, and based on the last volume, my small bottle may not be full.
However, Fan Ning also had some questions when looking at these colorful light spots.
The dream is full of randomness. This time the light spots are mainly purple, which should be the "key" phase, but it is obviously the same as last time, with a small amount of colors from other phases mixed in.
So the precipitated radiant spiritual fluid shouldn’t be of a certain phase that is absolutely pure, right?
He slowly stayed in a lucid dream for hundreds of breaths. After he estimated that the spiritual liquid precipitated in reality had already overflowed, he controlled himself to wake up.
Opening his eyes, purple shadows danced in the guest room.
"No spillage." Fan Ning stood up, picked up the vial, took out the necklace, and looked at the purple light emitting from the mouth of the bottle, and there were even some faint lightning pulses.
"Only half a bottle?"
Do you have different precipitation efficiencies for different phases of irradiation?
However, this nearly 20 ml of "Key" Xiangyao Essence Spiritual Liquid would probably cost more than three to four hundred pounds on the black market!
With such an expensive price, it must be difficult to extract it from Yiyong, and its role is certainly not limited to activating Yiyong road signs.
At least one thing that can be imagined is that it has its role in arranging secret rituals, refining special items or potions, etc.
Even more luxuriously, letting them steam directly around you, the intensity of inspiration will be vaguely stronger.
Perhaps it can also quickly replenish the inspiration consumption in certain situations?
"So this art museum key, even if I don't understand why it helped me 'counter-kill' those two people at the time-travel scene, it pointed out my path to advancement, and it's a brush?"
What if other knowledgeable people knew that they had such a key?
This secret has become more important to me.
But for the time being, there is no better way to store it. It is relatively safest to use it as a necklace, stick it to the skin and hang it with you - it is normal to hang the key to your own art museum every day.
The next morning, after sending Sheeran to school, Fan Ning took a car to Woodpecker Counseling Office.
Several civilian staff greeted him, and Fan Ning responded kindly to them all.
Dupont and other team members hadn't arrived yet, so he went straight to the fourth floor.
I continued to practice reloading the revolver at the shooting range and shot the remaining twenty or thirty rounds.
As a third-level knowledgeable person, Fan Ning's marksmanship has improved rapidly. After the last round of magazines, the fixed 10-meter target has stabilized above 9 rings.
Then he returned to his office in 209, opened the piano cover, and played "Twenty-Four Piano Etudes" by contemporary romantic composer Uccillo. Fast and gorgeous notes flowed in the corridor.
At the end of the song, Fan Ning struck out the heavy chords in the bass range of the piano, and then a knock on the door sounded.
"Please come in."
Dupont, a wandering guitarist with long hair, a vest and an open shirt, opened the door.
"Caron, if you are free today, I will teach you the basics of mysticism first."
"Of course, I'm busy." Fan Ning stood up, "I'm waiting for you to come over."
Dupont casually sat down on the main chair of the desk: "The light you first knew was the 'candle' phase, right? Can you use your spiritual sense skillfully?"
