Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 183
[Chapter 182 Information and Ritual (600 plus)]
Early morning.
Outside the Investigation Bureau, a decadent middle-aged man in simple clothes, unshaven beard, and coughing from time to time came to the door with some fear: “Excuse me… is this the Investigation Bureau?”
“Who are you?”
The gatekeeper The agent looked wary. There were not many people who knew the address of this confidential unit, and the other party didn’t look like one of them.
“A mysterious man asked me to hand this letter to you, saying that you will know it as soon as you see it… Ahem…”
The middle-aged man coughed a few more times and handed over a note.
The agent took it carefully, and after a quick glance, his expression changed drastically: “Follow me in!”
…
A moment later, outside the interrogation room.
Jacob held a note in his hand, with a playful smile on his face: “Is this the mysterious person who handed us Roberts’ location information last time?”
“Yes, Director!” The agent next to him wiped it. Sweat on his face: “The other party claims to be the last collaborator, and also knows the location of Earl Greenson’s mausoleum. He can give it to us, but in exchange, he needs the property rights of No. 1 Greenson Avenue, Sotos Museum!”
” It’s interesting to make a deal with our investigation bureau!” Kaslo next to him rubbed his chin: “I haven’t seen such a bold and dangerous person for a long time.”
“Then… the question is, should we compromise?” Fiona looked at it. Asked Jacob: “Why don’t you… ask your Excellency for instructions?”
“Promise him!” At this time, ‘Philosopher’ Sixtus was already standing next to him and said with a smile: “A museum only has A little bit of historical significance actually has no value… It is the best result to get the news about the mausoleum as soon as possible.”
He had secretly entered the other party’s thinking maze, but found that the other party was indeed unaware and was just an ordinary bankrupt worker. He got the letter and the task last night, and the other party promised that as long as he completed it, he would give him a large sum of money.
And the way to get the answer is also very simple.
Sistos and Jacob walked into the interrogation room and put the note on the table: “We agreed to the other party’s request. If the news is true, he will get what he wants.”
“Ahem… …Great.”
An abnormal blush appeared on the poor man’s face: “Ahem… My name is Raul and I am a miner. The doctor told me that I have suffered from pneumoconiosis and there is no way to save it. Only this time After completing the task, my family can get a lot of money…”
Fiona tilted her head unnaturally, but Sixtos was not surprised at all.
He had already seen these things just now.
“We agree to the conditions, let’s get started… This piece of paper contains the power of the contract ceremony.”
Sistos said.
“Yes, I learned for the first time last night that there is still a mysterious power in the world…”
Raul nodded: “Please give me a dagger…”
Jacob nodded, and an interrogator immediately handed it over. Get a knife.
“I’m a little afraid of pain…” Raul smiled bitterly, cut his finger, and let the blood drip on the note.
The bright red blood seeps into the paper, like a key, unlocking mysterious changes.
After absorbing the blood, another line of bright red writing appeared: “Suburban, Wickhanno Racecourse…”
“This is… a contract ceremony… a very high level…” Fiona looked at this scene and thought. After a moment, he said: “I seem to have seen it in an ancient book… The carrier of information is a note, but it must be opened in the right way… The key is not just Raul’s blood.”
“Yes, Raul has it. There is another layer of contract. Only after he hears our agreement to the terms, the contract in his heart is completed, and then his blood can be used to make the information on the paper appear… the complex embedded ritual…”
Sistos nodded: “The idea is quite sophisticated, but too cautious… Especially, it doesn’t make much sense. What the other party wants is a museum. Even if we sell it, we can still monitor it… and we can take it back at any time. Of course, We are not robbers. As long as the information provided by the other party is true and valid, it is not impossible to give it to him. “
In fact, even the contract effect of the double ceremony is not impossible to bypass.
But obviously, the Bureau doesn’t have that much time.
Instead of wasting on cracking the ritual, directly agreeing to the not-so-high conditions and getting the answer is the most efficient option.
Sixtos picked up the note, closed his eyes slightly, and solemnly declared: “Logical certification passed, dialectical validity!”
This is a strange and extraordinary ability that can confirm items through logical argumentation and philosophical thinking. and the effect of information being true or false.
“Confirm that the location is real.”
Jacob clenched his fists excitedly: “Notify, get ready for action!”
…
Evel Bridge District.
In a cheap hotel room.
Gwen from the Sunset School was opening the curtains and looking at a fruit stall outside the church.
The vendor setting up the stall was confirmed by him to be the person spying on Nicholas.
However, the other party’s purpose has always been unclear, which makes him a little worried.
At this time, he saw a group of people walking out of the church door, all following Nicholas Inam, seeming to be preparing for a charity event.
“Gwen… is that bishop the student you selected?”
A voice suddenly came from the side. Gwen turned her head and saw a tall figure.
The other party was wearing a white robe that seemed to be woven from a single piece of cloth. He had flaming hair and his eyes were like two small suns, blooming with brilliance.
“Teacher! Yes, his name is Nicholas, his heart is bright…”
Gwen quickly bowed and saluted.
This person is one of the ‘Lamp Holders’ of the ‘Sunset School’, ‘Master of the Fierce Sun’ Sasluofi!
“There should be some secrets about the little guy. He survived from Roberts’ hands last time and was cured of the pollution in his body and soul. It’s very suspicious… Do you still want to apply for a ceremony for him?”
Sasluofi shook his head: “Gwen , you have been slacking off recently, this is not good! I will personally take action to find out the secrets hidden by your student, um… and the people who monitor him… Your mission has been completed, and you have done a good job. When you return, You can prepare to hold a ceremony to unlock the third essence. When the time comes, I will personally act as your guide!”
The advancement in the mysterious system is often very bloody and cruel.
Especially the mystics who are at the same level and low level in the same path can even be directly used as materials for advancement!
The ‘guides’ are different. They can also help apprentices perform promotion ceremonies, but at the cost of actively losing part of their own spirituality, which becomes the motivation for the ritualist to advance.
This kind of thing that harms oneself and benefits others rarely occurs in the mysterious world, unless the relationship is particularly close.
“Teacher… Nicholas is a good boy.”
Gwen couldn’t help but defend, but when she saw the teacher’s cold gaze, her voice couldn’t help but become deeper…
