Because he was summoning his own messenger, Lumian no longer held a ceremony in the name of Mr. Fool. Instead, he simply asked the "Confessor" who was wearing a black clergy robe, looking like a charred corpse, with some areas of his body covered with black fire.
Bayinfer appeared in front of him.
"I want to sign another contract with you." Lumian made a request with a smile.
He briefly explained the power of destiny, special contracts, sharing of abilities, possible costs and negative impacts in ancient Fusac language, and waited for Bayinfell to make his own decision.
Bayinfeil was silent for a few seconds and responded in a low voice:
"If you're not worried about negative repercussions, I have no problem with that."
"What will be the negative effects?" Lumian asked cautiously.
In Bayinfell's hollow and dark eye sockets, the dark flames that acted as pupils jumped twice:
"It depends on your choice.
"I can leave the final step of completing the contract to you. After you know the specific negative impacts, you can decide whether to let the contract be established."
Different choices have different negative consequences? What choice? Lumian spit out the "Secret Word of Destiny" with curiosity and doubts, letting the silver and black symbols, words and patterns fall on the imitation parchment paper, forming a short
A powerful, mysterious and evil contract document.
With the help of the connection brought by the "Secret Word of Destiny", Lumian sensed Bayinfell's characteristics and abilities.
The power of this "Confessor" is closely related to shadows and darkness, but most of them seem to be immersed in the dark water. Lumian can detect their existence, but cannot tell what they are.
The two abilities floating on the "water surface" are "shadow activation" and "spiritual world travel", and the trait is "ancient corpse".
There happens to be "Shadow Activation"... This is probably what Bayinfer showed to me specially... He is indeed very special, completely different from spiritual world creatures such as "Headless Bride", "Abscess Broken Hand", and "Human-Faced Mantis"
Different... it is really convenient to be able to communicate in a real sense... Lumian sighed while learning more about the ability of "Shadow Activation".
This is an ability that can be used actively. It can activate the shadows of oneself and others. The former can be used to exchange places with the main body to escape fatal damage when unable to dodge, while the latter can entangle the corresponding target of itself and affect his actions.
, but it cannot cause too much damage, and it is difficult to completely restrain the opponent.
The biggest advantage of this ability is that it can be activated quickly and produce effects instantly. Otherwise, it cannot be used to block injuries. The disadvantage is that it can only maintain the activation of one shadow at the same time.
As a substitute, if the activated shadow dies, Lumian needs to wait for the sun to rise or set before the shadow will be regenerated. The shadowless person is very afraid of the sun and is instinctively afraid.
In the past, it was Overlay's instability of emotions and desires, but now it's Overlay's fear of the sun? If I really encounter a mid-sequence Extraordinary in the "sun" realm in the future, wouldn't I dare not even open my eyes? Fortunately, this
It is a negative effect that occurs after the shadow double is lost, and it will not last forever... Lumian looked at Bayinfer and asked sincerely:
"What sacrifice do you need to collect, or what price do you need me to pay?"
So far, he still hasn't figured out the negative consequences of signing a contract with Bayinfer.
"Confessor" Bayinfer, with only a shallow layer of charred skin left on his bones, replied:
"Any magical item on your body."
Any one... is this the so-called choice? The choice of magical items to be sacrificed is directly related to the negative effects that will be obtained in the end? Lumian clearly counted the magical items he owned in his mind.
His first reaction was "Arrogance Armor". After all, he couldn't effectively use this sealed object now. But after looking at the charred corpse-like appearance of "Bayin Feier", he felt that this was not a sacrificial object.
Instead, he tried to murder his own messenger. Besides, he himself was temporarily unable to use the "Arrogance Armor", but Franka, Jenna and Anthony were all fine. Lumian had already taught them the corresponding usage techniques.
The core is one sentence:
Don't wear it, just use the negative effects and let the negative effects be triggered by the target!
As for the more advanced one's own initiative to trigger negative effects in exchange for undifferentiated range damage, there is no way to teach it. This has to be done on the spot according to the environment and the characteristics of the enemy. Anyway, the witches should like this method very much. There is no substitute for bullying.
Ability-like goals work great!
"Secret Peeping Glasses", "Torture" Gloves, "Eye of Truth", "Lie" Ear Clip, Mr. K's Finger, "Hate Movement" Bone Flute, "Wrath of the Sea" Brooch, "Traveler's Luggage",
The remains of Omi Bella's umbilical cord, the bad luck gold coins and banknotes that had expired and turned into normal items, the extraordinary characteristics of the "serial killer"... these items were remembered one by one by Lumian.
After excluding things that were not magical items and things that were very useful to him at the moment, Lumian finally decided to choose one between "Secret Peeping Glasses" and "Eye of Truth".
Their abilities overlap to a certain extent, so just keep one.
After a brief weighing, Lumian chose to sacrifice the "Eye of Truth" to Bayinfer.
He felt that the "Peeping Glasses" had less negative impact than the "Real Eye" when the time of use was controlled. Moreover, the "Real Eye" only had one quality: seeing the truth, so the "Peeping Glasses" could still be used.
Paint pictures and makeup with extraordinary effects - After Lumian became an "ascetic monk", he was able to effectively restrain the urge to paint caused by wearing "peeping glasses". He only painted when necessary and not when not needed.
There is no need to draw at all.
Lumian took out the strange-looking "Eye of Reality" and handed it to Bayinfer.
As soon as Bayinfer caught the glasses, which looked like they were made of flesh and blood vessels, Lumian suddenly sensed the negative impact of signing the contract:
In scenes closely related to Bayinfer's past, you will see the truth that you shouldn't see.
It’s just that the situation involving the mysterious background of this messenger will have similar effects. Otherwise, I would have to end today’s ceremony early and wait until I find a suitable contract partner before choosing again... In the words of Aurore and Franka
What I have said is that seeing the truth that you should not see is equivalent to a sudden death... Lumian thought about it briefly and responded to Bayinfer in a deep voice:
"The contract is valid."
As he finished speaking, the brief and strange contract spontaneously ignited and turned into silver-white and black symbols, words and patterns, which landed on Lumian's arm one after another.
Lumian lowered his head and looked at his own shadow, seeing it twisting on its own, as if dancing a sonorous and powerful dance.
A smile appeared on Lumian's face.
After about ten seconds, his shadow calmed down.
Lumian thanked Bayinfer, ended the summons, and put away all the items placed on the altar.
"Succeeded?" Franka asked expectantly.
She didn't doubt that Lumian couldn't even handle his own messenger, but she was worried that the characteristics of his abilities didn't meet the needs or the negative impact would be too great.
Lumian nodded and briefly explained the situation of "Shadow Activation".
As he walked towards the exit of the quarry, he said to Franka, Jenna and Anthony:
"Now we can formulate a plan to deal with Moran Avni.
"Franka, please contact the 'Black Witch' and tell her that she will take action soon. However, in order not to disturb the family and secret power behind Moran Avni, she does not need to be nearby to watch for the time being. I just hope that she will
An emergency help spell that can contact her through the mirror, in case the 'Man in the Mirror' has hidden helpers. Well, it also happens to be a test of the 'Black Witch''s attitude towards the Tamara family towards the 'Man in the Mirror', and
, tell the person in the Eternal Fierce Sun Church to be ready to release the water;
"Jenna, you wrote to Ms. Judgment to inform us of our plan in case the Black Witch and the Man in the Mirror are together.
"Anthony..."
Lumian's thoughts raced, thinking about various details, and assigned different tasks to his companions.
Franca, Jenna and Anthony did not passively accept the task. They all actively provided their own ideas, helped Lumian check for omissions and complete the brainstorming.
After returning to Apartment 702, No. 9 Orosei Street, Anthony left early and continued to go to the Trier Association of Psychiatrists to get acquainted. Jenna put on a more gloomy black dress with a cape and took the time to look for it.
Opportunity to play "the witch".
Soon, only Lumian and Franca were left in the living room of the apartment.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and a long silence echoed in the air.
Lumian broke the atmosphere as if nothing had happened:
"How's Jenna's 'Witch' potion digesting?"
"The progress is very good." Franka secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "She has found a way to play the role of a 'witch'. If you go to the market area and ask around, you will hear a legend about a witch that haunts late at night and punishes restless drunkards.
, some drunkards claimed that they fell into a river filled with ice, some woke up the next day with pain all over their bodies, and some had severe headaches in the evening and did not dare to drink anymore. What they all have in common is that they have met a
People dressed as witches, um, and drunkards, have disappeared since then..."
Franka's voice became lower and lower, changing into a tone of telling horror stories.
"The missing ones were drunkards who committed serious crimes? The others were guilty of beating family members, bullying passers-by, molesting women, etc.?" Lumian started to guess with a smile based on his understanding of Jenna.
"Yes." Franka nodded heavily with a bright smile.
"Aren't you afraid that the 'Black Witch' will hear about this rumor and send someone to investigate?" Lumian thought for a moment and asked.
Franka became proud, pointed at herself and said:
"I, I, in the Witch Sect, I am responsible for the affairs related to the market area!"
She then sighed:
"Jenna is really talented. She figured out a mature acting plan in less than a month. She may be able to digest the 'Witch' potion before I am promoted to 'Pain'."
"If she didn't have those things, she should be a very talented dramatic actor, and acting is exactly her strength." Lumian agreed.
The two fell silent again.
After a few seconds, Franka put on a gesture of desperation and said:
"That, that, those words and behaviors I said in the mirror world and near the altar, you must not tell Jian Na or tell anyone else!"
Lumian asked with a "confused" look on his face:
"Did you say anything abnormal or act in any abnormal way at that time?
"I don't remember..."
Franka was stunned for a moment, then showed an "I understand" expression.
She stood up with a relaxed smile, walked to Lumian, patted his shoulder gratefully and said:
"Good brother!"
She felt that all the embarrassment was over.
…………
A few days later, while Moran Avni was attending a ministerial meeting, Lumian appeared around the villa provided for him by the government.
