Today will surely leave an indelible impression on Jack's life, in every sense of the word.
Love can make people blind, and those who are deeply involved in the whirlpool of love will have their IQs plummeted.
Jack poked his head out of the door and stared at the door at the other end of the corridor.
Time passed by minute by second, and as the sun approached noon, the children in the orphanage began to go to the canteen one after another. The room was always quiet as before.
Jack is very patient. For the sake of love, it doesn't matter if he is just hungry.
Soon, the door opened, and a pretty figure staggered out. She walked straight to the bathroom.
Jack is not in a hurry, he is still waiting.
A few minutes later, the girl returned to the house and the door closed again.
At this moment, Jack rushed out like a tiger who couldn't wait and went straight to the bathroom.
In the orphanage, the bathrooms for men and women are right next to each other.
When I came to the bathroom door, I was making a difficult decision in my heart. I looked from left to right, from men to women, and then from right to left, from women to men.
"May the goddess bless you!" Jack gritted his teeth, strode forward, and resolutely pushed open the door to the ladies' bathroom.
As soon as he came in, Jack was a little surprised. There was no urination pool here?
Do all girls not urinate? As soon as this idea came up, it was immediately denied.
Of course, Jack didn't care to find out how girls urinate. He opened the door of the cubicle and looked for clues one by one.
The first basket was empty, the second one smelled of poop, and the strange words in the third basket were obviously not the same. Just as he pushed open the fourth compartment, footsteps sounded outside the bathroom door.
Jack sprinted in and immediately closed the door behind him.
The person who came must be a woman. She came to the third compartment, closed the door, and squatted down.
Jack held his breath and concentrated, not daring to take a breath and trembling with fear.
There was a sound of force coming from the cubicle, and after a while, a surprised voice came.
"Lady next door, can I ask you a favor?" This voice... turned out to be Ms. Kelly!
Jack felt that he was about to collapse. Why would Ms. Kelly from the church be in the orphanage? You are a nun who does not eat the fireworks of the world.
"Yeah!" Jack tried to make his voice as high-pitched as possible, hoping that Ms. Kelly wouldn't hear it.
"Excuse me, do you have any extra toilet paper?" Perhaps because of shame, Ms. Kelly did not hear it.
"Oh, Goddess, why don't you bring paper to the toilet? Why do you put me in this situation? What should you, a humble lamb, do?" Jack felt like he was going crazy. He groped up and down, but only found one
Roll sandpaper.....
"Excuse me, do you have it?" Ms. Kelly asked again, already imminent.
Jack wanted to say, "I'm not here, don't look for me, I don't have one."
But he had to do something, for example...
"By the way, the paper basket!" Jack suddenly regained his intelligence and turned around to look.
A striking blush!
Jack immediately remembered Liam's words, "A woman's body bleeds every month. It is fighting against demons, a holy war taking place in the body. And only by burying the blood of the soldiers can you save Mira and expel the demons."
"
He grabbed the paper stained with crimson, opened the door and walked out.
He was like a warrior about to enter the battlefield, with high spirits. He did not forget Ms. Kelly when he left, and threw the sandpaper that symbolized freedom into the compartment!
With a nervous mood, Jack's clothes were soaked when he arrived in the backyard.
He came under the tree, looked around, and after double-checking that no one was there, he squatted down, threw away the wet soil with his hands, and placed the roll of red-dyed but somehow very tough paper inside.
"May the benevolent goddess protect Mira from the intrusion of demons, and may your light shine on the earth." After praying, Jack stood up and walked away under the noon sun.
Ten minutes later, a bird flew from a distance. It landed on the treetop and cleaned its feathers with its beak.
A rustling sound came from the side, and it immediately looked over there with caution.
The small and exquisite skull sat on the treetop, its dark pupils staring at him quietly.
The bird screamed in fright, flapped its wings and fled into the distance.
The little skeleton withdrew his gaze and stared at the tree.
After a while, it took the mouse skin hanging next to it and slowly put it on.
He stood up and slid down the tree trunk in an awkward posture.
It came to the place where Jack had buried the things and dug its front paws into the soil quickly.
Because of its petite size and limited strength, this simple thing for humans is very troublesome for it.
After a few minutes, the little mouse wiped the non-existent sweat with its paws and continued digging in the soil.
After a few more minutes, the little mouse held the ball of paper in its paws, ran with its hind paws, and soon disappeared into the grass.
….
The dark night comes as expected, with the silver moon and stars shyly covering their veils, just like a quiet girl who will miss her appointment for a few days. Only in this way can the lover's heartstrings be constantly stirred.
However, Liam is not a lover, he doesn't feel sad about spring and autumn, and he doesn't know how to recite poems or compose poems.
Darkness is his most loyal partner.
The brown eyes are surrounded by several silver threads, the black magic "night devil eyes", which is also one of the inherited abilities.
He sat up from the bed as slowly as possible, first closed the window and plugged the latch, then tiptoed to the door, leaned against the door and listened carefully. The corridor was empty and no one got up in the middle of the night.
He came to the bed, lay down on the floor, got in, and carefully took out the miscellaneous items from the cracks in the horizontal wood under the bed.
These things are all small objects, the biggest of which is the paper that Jack stole from the wastebasket.
At this moment, the delicate little skeleton appeared out of nowhere and came to Liam.
"Happy, I need to trouble you to do something." Liam said softly.
The little skull nodded.
"Now that all the materials needed for the ceremony have been prepared, there is only one important auxiliary material missing, and only you can make this material."
The little skeleton tilted its head in a very humane manner, expressing confusion.
The spiritual item that is lacking now is whitening powder, which also has another name - bone meal.
In the material world, human beings are a species born from the blood of the Lord. Regardless of whether they become magicians or knights, they are born with spirituality. This spirituality will slowly dissipate with age, and most of it will precipitate and infiltrate.
Bones will remain there even after death.
The role of bone meal is to create a spiritual space, which can enhance the communication ability of the ceremony and effectively prevent external interference.
After stating the key role of the whitening powder, Liam picked up the small file from the ground and handed it to the little skeleton.
The little skeleton looked down at the file, then looked up at Liam, then looked down at the file again, spreading his hands as if to say "why?"
"Now is the critical moment when we need you. Being respectful is a virtue, but also a kind of responsibility and responsibility." Liam advised me kindly.
The little skeleton pointed outside the window and made a sleeping gesture.
"I also want to find a corpse to dig up and use, but I can't get away. And with your small body... you can't move it back with a finger."
The little skeleton was discouraged and took the file helplessly. His dark pupils stared at Liam, as if begging him.
"Happy, you are my most important partner, be brave."
The little skeleton seemed to sigh, dragged the silver spoon, turned around, sat on the ground, and turned to look at Liam again.
Liam made a cheering gesture.
It turned its head, raised its left foot, and gently stroked the smooth surface with its fingers, feeling very reluctant to leave.
Finally, he made up his mind and put his left foot on the edge of the silver spoon, holding the small file and "devoting himself" with all his strength.
Liam also began to prepare for the ceremony. He first unfolded the folded white cloth, covering an area of about 1 square meter, and pressed the four corners with stones.
Take a deep breath, the next step is to draw the key ritual formation.
Nowadays, the six-pointed star is commonly used in the mainland, but the one recorded in the Book of the Dead is different from it.
Describing the ritual array requires materials with a spiritual aura, and in the orphanage, materials with such extraordinary abilities are obviously unavailable.
However, Liam was not worried. He already possessed a strong spirituality when he became the successor of the God of Death.
I pricked my index finger with a razor blade, and bright red blood flowed out.
Enduring the pain, Liam knelt on the ground, recalling the ritual formation in his mind, and traced it on the white cloth with his hands.
In the center of the ritual circle is a circle, and the outside seems to be surrounded by a large triangle. On the three sides of the triangle are some black threads symbolizing weirdness and darkness.
When the ritual pattern was completed, Liam was already sweating on his forehead. He raised his hand and simply wrapped his index finger with a cloth.
The next step is to lay out the materials.
Black charcoal is placed in the lower left corner, which represents darkness.
The corpse of a frog is placed in the lower right corner, which represents death.
Place a white candle in the upper triangle.
Then put moist soil, hard stones, tree bark, bird feathers, dog excrement, and fish scales on the three lines respectively. These symbolize the material world.
Finally place the bloody paper in the center circle.
Ceremony arrangements are completed.
At this time, Liam looked at the little skeleton. The other person had disappeared, leaving only the powder shining faintly in the silver spoon.
Use a quill pen carefully dipped in powder to circle the entire ceremony, and use the remaining bit to draw a small door at the position of the candle.
Liam took a deep breath, the cool evening breeze made his mind clearer.
Light the candle, and the dim candle flame flickers in and out of the room, swaying like a woman dancing on the candle wick.
Both hands were stretched out, making strange gestures. The index fingers were bent and joined together, the middle fingers were relatively separated, the ring fingers were aligned, and the little fingers were pointing downwards and upwards.
"Spirit sleeping in the darkness, listen to the call." Weird and obscure words were spat out one after another in a weird and terrifying tone. They do not belong to the language that humans can relate to. They are the nearly extinct "Giant Language", which is the first way to communicate extraordinary abilities.
language.
The candle turned green and the flame grew stronger. The dead frog sat up and stared at Liam with its eyeless pupils.
"The ruler of the endless abyss, the ruler of all living beings and the dead souls, I order you to obey the order and come to this world!" Liam's tone rose, his hands spread out, and suddenly a violent wind rose in the spiritual space.
Countless invisible spirits are flying in it, they are running rampant and chaotic.
Suddenly, Liam put his right hand through the small door above the candle, "Seal!"
The red spirit sprang out from the center of the ceremony. It was like a king, and the spirits surrendered and obeyed.
Red spirits poured into the right index finger, followed by countless spirits. The green candle flickered and seemed to be extinguished at any time.
After a few seconds, the endless spirit disappeared and the candlelight returned to its original appearance.
All the materials surrounding the ceremony disappeared, leaving only the spiritual space that was impregnable.
Liam let out a long breath, slowly withdrew his right hand, and used a quill dipped in white powder to clear the spiritual space.
After the ceremony was completed, a layer of transparent film wrapped around the body, confining the frantic dark energy in the body.
Liam packed up the remaining materials and lay on the bed tiredly.
"Every man is not guilty of carrying a jade." The huge dark energy in the body is a gift from inheritance, and it is also Yama that threatens life.
Maybe you can wait until you have enough strength to fully control this power before you can live an upright life.
