The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 718

[Chapter 247 Ritual: Contact with the Night]

“Player Super Justice()”

“Ai Lei” went to the Kendo Museum of delicious wind goose alone.

It should be said that they are a group of players with the strongest psychological quality… Before “Ai Lei” arrived, Delicious Wind Goose had calmed down and started investigating while acting as her own identity.

And after “Ai Lei” arrived, he, like other players… easily gave Annan his trust.

And it was agreed that at twelve o’clock midnight, he would bring Longjing tea and the stray children to meet at the door of Elle’s house.

But Annan did not go to Longjing Tea in person.

Because it is no longer necessary.

After that, he helped “Ai Lei” to start depicting the ceremony venue in the basement of his own dojo.

– This is also the reason why Annan asked the stray children to send the ritual materials here.

[Annan, are you… planning to call the burial mother-in-law?

】

“Not.”

Annan said leisurely: “This is not a ceremony to call the burial mother-in-law.”

“What did Ellie ask?”

Delicious Feng Goose, who was kneeling on the ground and using a silver ritual knife to draw the ritual line, raised her head and explained with a smile, “She thought this was a ceremony in the field of burial? How could she think so?”

“It’s very simple, because I’ve tried it before… As Ai Lei, I couldn’t use the magic in the [Bone] and [Betrayal] fields at all. And I’ve also tried it, and the ritual of righteous gods can’t be used…”

“Ai Lei” crossed her legs, sat on a chair and carved wooden runes with a knife, turned her head with a chuckle and asked, “If it was you, if you wanted to verify whether this is the Misty Continent, how would you judge by ritual? ?”

“My words… it should be called Silver Sir. After all, as long as the price is sufficient, the success rate of the Silver Sir ceremony is the highest – He will not refuse any form of transaction, as long as the price is appropriate. If this world clearly has transaction behavior and Currency, but Silver Jue did not respond to the ceremony… that must be wrong.”

Delicious Wind Goose thought for a while, then nodded in response.

“well said.”

Annan praised: “As expected of you who have studied rituals with Nefertari… After you go back, I will send you to Rasputin’s house. I will teach you some large-scale rituals at the top-secret level.”

“…That, boss. What you said, it’s a bad behavior in our place…”

Delicious Wind Goose said embarrassedly.

Annan just smiled.

“Ai Lei” quickly turned around, and while bowing her head to carve the wood block cut from the chair, she commented: “Your behavior is correct. Because in the middle of the gods, the silver jazz and the cup-bearer have no ‘influence’ on the progress. In the case of assistance and positioning, the god with the highest response rate——

“It’s like the mother-in-law who buried her bones when she didn’t encounter the undead, the red knight who didn’t encounter a fight, and the moth mother who wasn’t a woman holding a ceremony… It’s rare to respond to the ritual demands of non-believers. It also depends on the mood to respond. Miss Yun, and the mysterious lady who is extremely demanding of accuracy, their existence will also disturb your judgment to a great extent.

“Just like you, I tried the ritual of the Silver Jue and found it to be ineffective; but because this nightmare was created by the burial mother-in-law, I tried the burial mother-in-law again, and found that there was a response…”

“Ai Lei” said this with a chuckle: “So I tentatively judged that this is a world where ‘the rest of the gods do not exist, only the buried mother-in-law exists’. Alley heard the same thing.”

But hearing this, Yummy Feng Goose frowned.

He just finished the ceremony, stood up and glanced strangely at “Ai Lei” who was curled up in the chair with his legs crossed. Just as he was about to say something, the doorbell rang.

“It’s a homeless child.”

“Allie” added.

So Yummy Feng Goose nodded and went to open the door first.

Because of the presence of outsiders, Ailey, who was trying to keep quiet even though they couldn’t hear what she said, finally couldn’t help but ask:

[Uncle Delicious Goose, I just seemed to have something to say…Did I miss something?

】

“…you don’t have to call him uncle,

Although he looks very… stable, he is only twenty-nine years old this year.

”

“Ai Lei” raised the corners of her mouth and said with a chuckle, “I’m very glad that you realize that there is a problem here…although it’s still a little late.”

“—because this reasoning is wrong.”

Delicious Feng Goose’s calm voice came from the door: “Why did you only try Sir Silver and Granny Buried, and then concluded that there is only Granny Buried in this world? This is totally unreasonable, and I don’t think His Highness Annan is either. Such reasoning may be made…”

“Ai Lei” heard the words and just smiled.

She stepped forward and took the ritual materials from the delicious wind goose.

—Three black ram horns, three black ram horns, and three pairs of bull horns.

There are also three black candles, three mirrors, a vial of crocodile tears, twenty-seven rat hearts, twenty-seven centipede poison glands, and a vial of silent ointment.

【……what?

】

When Ellie saw it, she was startled.

【this is not……】

“Does it look familiar, Elle?”

“Ai Lei” asked in a warm voice.

Of course Ellie will look familiar.

Part of these ritual materials…that is, three candles, three black ram horns, three black male goat horns, and three pairs of ox horns, was when Amos sacrificed Elle to the skeleton man. The material used for the ritual of “touching the skeleton”.

“You know what, Ellie.”

Annan said softly, word by word: “This ceremony of [Contacting the Bone Lord] is actually a low-profile version of another ceremony.

“Speaking of [3], what do you think of?”

[The God of Veto and Darkness… Lady Silence?

】

“—That’s right.”

Annan replied.

He said, inserting the ritual materials into the ritual array carved on the ground by the delicious wind goose.

Each “horn” has its own place.

Around the nine horns are the rat hearts and centipede venom glands in groups of “nine”, forming nine triangles – a ritual substitute for a baby’s heart and a villain’s brain.

After that, Annan placed three black candles on the outermost periphery… and formed two overlapping triangles with three mirrors, and then lit the candles.

The instant the third candle was lit, the warm orange flame turned into a cool icy blue flame.

Subsequently, Annan turned off the original light source in the room.

“Delicious Wind Goose is right. I just confirmed that Sir Silver’s ritual is invalid, and I also confirmed that the ritual of burial is valid… Why do you believe that there is only Granny Buried in this world?

“I was thinking to myself, is it possible that only the mother-in-law is special? But then, I heard Amos say [Yaon’s commendation], [a ceremony dedicated to Yawon]… Until then I can’t be sure , There is a concept of ‘ritual’ in this world, but the power is not so powerful that it cannot call for extraordinary power.

“Then here comes the question. Why in the slices of this world, while the gods exist, can’t respond to the ritual? Or, why doesn’t the ‘ceremony’ itself possess extraordinary power?”

Annan said… He burned the three wooden runes he carved with the Lady of Silence rune on top of the three candles.

After the rune touched the candle burning with a cold blue flame, it also flashed a cold light.

It wasn’t like the wood was being burned by fire, it was more like it was gradually being “devoured” by the fire.

Soon, the rune disappeared in Annan’s hands.

The phantom-like runes appeared right above the candle flame.

“The answer is very simple, because the righteous god that does not exist is not the Silver Sir… but the Mysterious Lady.”

Annan said, dripping crocodile tears on three candles to extinguish them.

The candle flame was gradually extinguished, but the three rotating runes were still directly above the candle.

Finally, the flame was completely extinguished.

The three runes spun quietly and silently.

“This is the real body of the ritual of ‘touching the skeleton’… [touching the night].”

——Not to touch Lady Silent, but to touch the night.

At the moment of the success of the ceremony.

The entire world fell into dusk at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And the success of this ceremony… It means that all of Annan’s previous inferences are correct.

It’s not the sun falling, but the passage of time thousands of times – if you can see people outside at this time, it will be like watching a fast-forward video, seeing them rushing back and forth quickly.

This ceremony, without everyone noticing, directly set the world’s time to nine o’clock in the evening.

The delicious wind goose and the stray children around them have disappeared without a trace… They should have found Longjing Tea by now.

According to Annan’s previous instructions, they may be on their way to the rice fields, or they may be assassinating “unworthy descendants”.

But none of them are in the Kendo Museum… If everything goes well, they should not be crazy by now.

“It’s blackjack now. Two plus one is three; blackjack is also [nine o’clock in the night], and nine is three times three; there are also three hours between nine and twelve… That said, it’s three hours before zero. It’s Lady Silence’s ‘holy hour’.”

“Ai Lei” raised her head calmly.

“—I will begin to announce the answer here, at this time.”
