"This is an Advent ritual."
He Ao calmly looked at the lines around him with deep eyes.
"Advent ceremony?"
There was an obvious question mark on Luo Luo's face. As an extraordinary person, she suddenly felt that He Ao's knowledge structure was not on the same level as hers.
"Brother Hao Yi, what is the advent ceremony?"
Lin Chi Chi didn't feel that much. She basically didn't know anything, so she just asked questions directly.
"You can understand it as a 'channel' through which some high-level being that exists outside this time and space forcibly descends into this world."
He Ao squatted down next to the flesh and blood control console and carefully checked the surrounding circuits.
After entering the front of the car, those dark tentacles never appeared again.
This is an obvious protection mechanism. This car is very afraid that those tentacles that are not very controlled will destroy the ritual formation inside.
To be precise, the 'arranger' of this ceremony did not trust the tentacles belonging to this car.
In fact, from the moment he got on the bus, He Ao found that the rules of this car were a bit too complicated.
Of course, it is understandable that a B-level extraordinary item has extremely complex ritual rules. After all, under such a weird extraordinary system, anything can happen.
So Heao showed no obvious doubts.
Until he saw the blood pool in the last carriage and the ritual circle in the front of the carriage.
No extraordinary item would draw an advent ritual in one's body to summon other high-ranking beings, and the simple wisdom of extraordinary items would not be able to achieve such a complex function.
Obviously, this car was deliberately set up by a certain existence to complete the advent ceremony in the main world.
"High-ranking existence?" Lin Chi responded, "Is it a god from myths and legends? Do gods really exist in this world?"
After saying this, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have asked a very stupid question. There are trains in this world that can travel through space at will and travel thousands of kilometers in half an hour. Why can't gods exist?
"But, Yan..." Luo Luo glanced at He Ao, "The information I got is that there are no gods in this world..."
"It depends on how you define it. In a sense, 'gods' are some kind of powerful extraordinary beings, but they are indescribable and incomprehensible. They have gone beyond the scope of what ordinary mortals can understand, so they are considered to be
There’s nothing wrong with ‘god’ either.”
He Ao didn't look up. He was carefully tracing some of the lines in the car. He vaguely felt that these lines could overlap with the lines in the red beads he obtained from Jin Ya.
However, the two magic formations did not completely overlap. He was trying to analyze the meaning behind this overlap.
Luo Luo nodded thoughtfully. In the research institute's information, no extraordinary life that exceeds human cognition has been found so far, but the absence of discovery does not mean that there is no such thing.
One of the institute's tenets is, 'Always remain in awe of the unknown.'
But at this moment, she became extremely curious about He Ao's identity.
He Ao seems to know a lot of occult knowledge that even the academy does not know.
"Then this ceremony is the coming ceremony of a powerful 'god'?"
Lin Chichi glanced at the terrifying bloody lines around him with some worry, "Then can we still survive?"
Since He Ao has used that tone to describe "gods", it proves that the gods may be really strong, so strong that even He Ao cannot deal with them.
If this is really a trap from the gods, then I'm afraid the only option is to lie down and die.
"uncertain."
He Ao shook his head. He had vaguely separated the overlapping part of the two magic formations and was analyzing the remaining magic formations.
What makes He Ao still a little confused about this advent array is that it is too complicated.
As a 'friend of the gods' who has dealt with many friends, He Ao still has a little understanding of the rituals of the gods.
All the ritual formations of evil gods coexist with simplicity and complexity.
Simplicity lies in the fact that the emblems pointing to the gods are very simple. They are basically some simple compositions, such as the seven-pointed star of the God of Knowledge, the heart shape of the Desire Witch, and the Eye of Truth of the God of Death.
The complexity lies in the fact that these emblems have strict carving conditions. The more precise the carving, the more perfect the ceremony, the more pleasing the gods will be.
For example, a good friend particularly likes the magic circle arranged by He Ao.
Pattern is the language of mysticism. The simpler the emblem, the more unique this great being is.
Just like a person's title.
In ancient China, the emperor was supreme. When talking about the emperor, people knew that it referred to a specific person.
There are many "kings" under the emperor, so when describing a certain "king", you must add his feudal name or title, such as South Commandery King, North Commandery King.
The more accurate modifications required prove that there are many people of the same class of this character, and he has to modify himself to distinguish himself from others.
Of course, the actual character title modification involves many detailed changes.
But in a mystical sense, generally the more complex the pattern, the lower the level.
The magic circle in front of He Ao now is that the pattern pointing to the descending high-dimensional existence is too complicated, and it does not seem to be pointing to a certain god.
If it is a person whose personality is lower than God, it can be explained.
If you can use a B-level extraordinary item as the carrier of your own Advent Ritual, then your personality is probably higher than that of B-level, and there is no relevant knowledge in He Ao's memory that B-level can use the Advent Ritual.
Class B is still in the human category.
When it comes to ‘advent’, they all have a certain mythological nature.
The result is obvious.
"If it's not a god, what is it?"
Luo Luo was a little confused by He Ao's "not necessarily".
He Ao looked up at her and Lin Chichi and said calmly, "You should know that knowledge itself carries pollution. The more secret knowledge you know, the easier it is to be noticed by high-ranking beings. Are you sure you want to listen?"
"I have no problem!"
Luo Luo nodded heavily, then she looked at Lin Chichi, "But..."
But before she could continue speaking, Lin Chichi quickly said, "Brother Hao Yi, I have already been exposed to these things. I have already been connected with that high-ranking being. It doesn't matter if I know more knowledge.
I can take responsibility for myself."
"Um,"
He Ao stood up slowly, glanced at Luo Luo, and continued,
"Between humans and gods, there exists another kind of mythical creature, 'angels'. Some of them are servants of gods, and some have self-awareness.
"The dividing line between angels and humans is Class A. In ancient times, Class A was also called an angel.
"The process of becoming an angel is very dangerous. It can easily turn into an indescribable and incomprehensible crazy mythical creature, causing unimaginable disasters."
These points are summarized by He Ao from the knowledge he saw in Iliaan's underground library and his own partial understanding.
Luo Luo didn't quite understand what she heard, but she still wrote down these words seriously.
"So this 'Advent Ceremony' belongs to an angel?"
Lin Chichi reacted quickly.
"Um,"
He Ao nodded slightly. He didn't know if there was a higher rank among angels than A, but judging from the dense complexity of the pointing pattern, this advent ceremony most likely belonged to a relatively weak angel.
But no matter how weak it is, it is still at least A level.
He Ao retreated to the wall at the entrance and continued, "Whether it is this kind of advent ceremony or a communication ceremony, all rituals for high-level beings must meet the three elements of the ritual, namely the altar, the sacrifice, and the host.
"The altar is the place where the ritual circle is painted. It is responsible for establishing passages and anchoring coordinates. The sacrifices are responsible for supplying energy or pleasing high-ranking beings. The host is the host of the entire ceremony and is often the initiator of the entire ceremony.
hub.”
"So the blood pool in the carriage just now was the sacrifice? Our place is the altar," Lin Chi Chi quickly summarized what He Ao said, "But... there seems to be no host."
"No, yes," He Ao leaned against the wall, "we are the 'hosts'."
Lin Chichi: "Ah?"
"To be precise, the 'player' who is constantly playing the killing game in the car behind is the 'host' of this ceremony."
He Ao slowly explained, "As the hub of the entire ceremony, the host determines the success or failure of the ceremony. Once the host has self-awareness and gives up the ceremony for some reason, the advent will fail.
"The person who arranged this ceremony may have done it to control risks, or maybe there was no suitable candidate, so he made a clever design.
“Deploy a ‘trap’ that constantly lures people into it, and then use a killing game to lure people into the trap to kill each other.
"This game is actually a special 'ritual'. During such killings, everyone in the game will form a twisted obsession with killing as the main body.
"This obsession leads these killing souls to become the 'host' of this advent ceremony.
"As long as the game continues and the passengers continue to kill endlessly, this obsession will always exist, carrying the soul of the dead in vain, becoming a conceptual host who has no self-reason and only promotes the ceremony.
'.
"And the passengers' corpses and souls after death will become the 'sacrifice' for the supply ceremony, killing two birds with one stone.
"But we are lucky. The sacrifices accumulated in this car at this time are not enough to support the ceremony, so we do not need to face an angel for the time being."
Lin Chichi felt a chill running down her spine as she listened. She felt that the world was a little scary, but she was also a little lucky that she didn't have to face that scary-sounding 'angel'. She didn't even know whether to say she was lucky or not.
But meeting He Ao should be regarded as a good thing, a great blessing among misfortunes.
She thought for a moment, calmed down and asked slowly, "So what is the purpose of this person behind the scenes arranging this ceremony?"
He Ao looked at the console calmly, "In order to come to this world."
The patterns under his feet were roughly similar to the patterns on the console, both pointing to the unknown angel.
As early as when he came back from the ceremony, He Ao was thinking about a question.
The strange beasts or extraordinary beings in the ruins do not lack wisdom. For example, the monster that pulled him into the illusion and pretended to be Liu Nan showed a scheming far beyond ordinary people.
Didn't these extraordinary beings discover the 'ordinary people' who came to the ruins from time to time?
The humans in the ruins have long been extinct, and the lively humans are a rare sight in themselves.
Now he knows that the powerful extraordinary beings in the ruins have long discovered the existence of the 'explorers' going to the ruins, and are trying to find the main world and descend to the main world.
The Velora had the ability to travel through space for some reason, so it was captured by an 'angel' in a certain ruins and arranged a coming ceremony.
Then the angel took advantage of the fact that the ruins were close to the main world to some extent, and found a way to send the Velora into the main world.
I don’t know whether this angel is crazy or not, but judging from the way he directly uses the lives of living people as ritual materials, he is most likely crazy.
If it is really allowed to come, judging from the current situation where the main world is only B-level, I am afraid that the whole world will turn into purgatory.
Sure enough, the enemy never gives it time to develop properly.
He Ao stared at the patterns on the wall. He still had not solved the last part of this ritual.
The several parties currently fighting outside, including the Research Institute, World Tree, Moonlight, and even Dawn, probably don't know the layout of this car at this moment.
Including the angels who deployed the Velora, each of these parties has its own plans and layouts. The weakest among them can produce B-level combat power, and the highest involves an angel.
Several forces are intertwined together, forming a dense network.
He Ao wants to find a perfect breakthrough point in this big network and tear down the entire network in one fell swoop.
His eyes returned to the last part of the ritual circle. These were the most difficult parts to understand. He had lost the reference and could only rely on the little occult knowledge in his mind to understand it.
"Brother Hao Yi, can I ask a question?"
Just when He Ao was deep in thought, a small questioning voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Um?"
He Ao turned his head and glanced at Lin Chichi.
"Just now when Sister Luo Luo and I were chatting about the previous events, I heard you refer to Jin Ya as the ninth player,"
Lin Chichi asked cautiously, "But we only have eight players in total, six passengers and two staff members. The murderer camp has stewards, passenger No. 5, Ruoti, and the chef. There are only four people in total. The three of us are the good ones."
One, the third party is Jin Ya, there are only eight people in total."
"No, there is another one," He Ao shook his head, "it's a flight attendant."
Then he explained under Lin Chichi's doubtful eyes,
"After the death of the murderer, he left behind the props of the murderer, the chef, and Ruoti, but don't forget that the flight attendant also has props. The flight attendant's prop is the key to open the door to room No. 7. Of course, he is also responsible for opening all the doors.
The card is issued.
“Everyone has only one prop, including chefs and flight attendants, and the killer gets a chance to kill before the game starts at the very beginning.
"So before the game even started, the real flight attendant was killed by a murderer, and then he pretended to be a flight attendant, and the flight attendants we saw later were actually murderers pretending to be the ones.
"The flight attendants and chefs are most likely the 'winners' of the previous game. They gave up forcing their way through the passage and chose to continue participating in the game, thus obtaining professional status.
"Judging from their actions, their behavior should be restricted and they cannot interfere with the game at will. However, they are all murderous people. No matter what they were before, they are now the minions of the murderous maniac.
"So there are five people in the murderer's camp. They are the murderer, the flight attendant who was the first to be killed, passenger No. 5, Ruoti, and the chef, so Jin Ya is the ninth player."
"Ouch! Got it! Brother Hao Yi is so awesome!"
Lin Chichi nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"
He Ao asked softly.
"I'm just sorting out the clues I've found so far to see if I can make any breakthroughs."
Lin Chichi scratched his head, "I'm not as smart as my brother, but I still want to help him share some of his work."
"You did very well,"
He Ao smiled and looked at the magic circles again, "You reminded me."
There are obviously only eight positions, why does this game have to find a ninth player?
