Chapter 34 Cocoon (Happy National Day, book friends!)
[It has been proven that the correct ritual pointed to me in the dream world can send the sacrifice to the real world. 】
[Spirituality in the real world is slowly disappearing...disappointed...]
[Try again and ask Lin to sacrifice another spirituality to depict the ritual in reality and summon herself...it failed again and could not establish a complete connection.]
…
Bang!
Aaron broke the quill and punched the table.
The setbacks we encountered this time were really big.
If reality cannot accommodate the extraordinary, then even if he has some supernatural powers, he will never be able to achieve immortality.
Even this "micro-ability" may allow him to live a good life, but it cannot defeat an army and makes him feel very insecure.
【No...I can't give up!】
[Next... you should try various elemental paths! At the same time, continue to use spirituality, and even... try the awakening ritual...]
[Although spirituality can only stay in my body for a short period of time, if it accumulates over time, maybe it will permanently improve a little bit of strength every time... After a long time, maybe it can make my physique extraordinary?]
[But there may still be some conflicts between different elements and roads, so you must plan carefully and proceed with caution.]
After just a moment of frustration and loss of control, Aaron reorganized his thoughts, put away his notebook, lay on the bed, and began to fall asleep.
…
The deserted city of Diat.
Lin walked in the dark streets, searching for survivors.
After the cataclysm, the doomsday came, and the crazy people turned into aberrations, while most other people were caught off guard and died at the hands of aberrations.
Even so, there are still miracles in life!
Among the ruins of this city, apart from monsters, Lin is not the only one who exists!
"After the last sacrifice of the essence of 'Red', the Lord liked this kind of sacrifice very much..."
Lin thought to herself.
If ordinary people want to achieve extraordinary things, they first need to choose a path, then accumulate spirituality, and finally pass the ceremony to become a true extraordinary person.
She has now reached the second stage of the 'red' road - the 'bloody one'!
Master the ability to turn all or part of your body into blood and turn it into a weapon.
In addition, you can also master a large number of spells and rituals.
Of course, since she no longer dares to listen to the ravings of the existence above the moon, her knowledge in this area is very lacking.
At the same time, you can also activate the power of 'red' to accelerate development.
Lin is now growing up at an extremely fast speed, and she is no different from an ordinary fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old child.
"The light of redemption needs more believers, and the Lord needs more sacrifices..."
She had saved a few people before, but they were all ordinary people, and it would take time to guide them onto an extraordinary path.
Soon after, Lin found a new target.
It was a large department store. The entrance was lined with various furniture and sundries, and there were several monsters wandering outside the door.
"If the guess is good, there should be survivors there..."
Lin licked her lips and her body was about to turn into blood.
At this time, she keenly noticed that something was not right in the air.
A fine powder filled the surroundings, making her feel drowsy.
"powder……"
Lin suddenly raised her head. There was nothing in the sky, only the faint sound of flapping wings seemed to be transmitted directly into her skull.
"There's something strange!"
Lin took a deep breath and prayed in a low voice: "The false spirit wandering in the unknown, the existence of absolute neutrality, the silent observer... the only redeemer, the supreme light, my Lord... I have encountered a strange situation, please
Grant me good luck, grant me courage..."
In fact, she also knew that the Lord rarely even responded to the ritual of fixing the altar, let alone such verbal prayers.
But this is a kind of piety.
The Lord may not care about humans, but humans must care about the Lord, who is the only light of reason!
"Hmm...is the connection established faster now? Oral prayer is enough. Does it mean that the mystical connection between me and her is getting closer?"
Lin was lucky. This time, Aaron happened to be with her.
However, he was not prepared to respond.
"The connection between faith and mysticism...if it is close enough, can it allow me to break through the distance limit and be able to hear prayers from a distance?"
He thought to himself: "My mysterious power can be given to believers through rituals and perform various operations. However, believers cannot purify the mystery and can only sacrifice spiritual things to me... It seems that this road does not work."
Aaron feels that his own mysterious energy may be the ultimate manifestation of spirituality.
However... the current utilization rate is too low.
"There is also a fixed altar, and it is troublesome to often not respond to prayers... Let's see if we can get smart feedback or a message function?"
"But this requires a high level of mystical knowledge. I can't do it unless... I let Lin collect the wool of the flesh-and-blood mother tree, fall into that addictive state, listen to the ravings, and then I will bring her back and let her repeat what she has learned.
Knowledge……"
Aaron was a little excited, but then shook his head: "This believer is very precious. If you do that kind of thing too much, you will definitely be discovered. Let's let the next believers do it..."
In a flash, he crossed the square and arrived in front of the department store.
Whether it was monsters or powder, they all passed through his body without leaving any traces.
Aaron passed through the obstacles and came inside the department store, where he saw a few unkempt survivors with shotguns in their hands, looking out warily.
And in the center of their protection, a woman wearing a gray robe, an oval face, and green eyes was casting a spell.
"Please invite the symbol of life and change, the controller of the invisible thread, the great [Cocoon]!"
"Please give me the dust of confusion!"
"Please give me the invisible thread!"
…
Outside the department store, Lin was surprised to see that the wandering monsters suddenly stopped, like statues.
Around the statues, there are extremely fine, silk-like threads that connect the earth to them.
suddenly……
Many silk threads contracted together, cutting the statue.
Those small and transparent lines seemed to turn into the sharpest blade, cutting the monster into many squares with smooth surfaces in an instant.
"Ms. Olivia, thank you so much."
The lady in gray robe ended the ceremony, and a group of survivors gathered around and kept thanking her.
"Nothing, Mr. Aude. In this post-disaster world, we should help each other. Can you give me a quiet room?"
Olivia shook her head and looked a little pale: "I want to have a good rest and don't send food or water."
"sure!"
Holding a shotgun, the man who looked to be in his forties and had hairy arms agreed immediately and sent Olivia to a quiet room.
Snap!
Olivia closed the door and immediately leaned her back against the door panel, her body beginning to tremble violently.
Under the gray robe, one lump of flesh bulged one after another, constantly swimming around, like little mice...
"Ho ho..."
Olivia gasped and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she fell to the ground and rolled all over the place.
Next to him, Aaron watched this scene calmly: "Did the forced use of the ritual cause pollution? But... he seems to be a guy who can barely control his sanity, although... it's a bit difficult."
He looked out the door, his expression suddenly became a little mysterious.
