Klein unscrewed the lid of the metal vial, brought it to his nose, and smelled a slightly pungent but uplifting smell.

This is a "holy night powder" made from herbs such as deep sleeping flowers, dragon's blood, crimson sandalwood, and peppermint, and because of its simplicity, Klein found an opportunity to get a bottle after replenishing the ingredients in the underground market, and now it comes in handy.

He poured some "Holy Night Powder" into his palm, and then precipitated his spirit, making his eyes deepen.

Klein then put away the metal vial, twisted the powder, poured the spirit inside, and sprinkled it onto the ground.

He walked around Siris's corpse as he spilled.

Invisible walls have been erected, isolating this place from the outside world.

Klein shook off the remaining bit of "Holy Night Powder", took out other metal vials, and dripped the "Amanda" hydrosol and other liquids in it to the surroundings in turn.

The order in which he arranged the ceremony was different from when Neil Sr. was at the Riel Bieber house, because the things he wanted to pray for were different, and the things he hoped to achieve were different.

For example, Old Neil sprinkled the liquid first and then the "Holy Night Powder", which created a tranquility and holiness second only to the formal altar, while Crane used the "Holy Night Powder" first and then the liquid, because his purpose was simply to avoid the residual spirituality of Siris being disturbed by the surrounding things, and to have an environment that barely met the needs of the ritual.

- If he changes to the old Neil's way, then the remaining spirituality of Siris will be expelled and he will not be able to communicate at all.

After doing all this, Crane gathered the materials, remained in a meditative state, and whispered a mantra written in Hermes:

"I pray for the power of the night;"

"I pray for hidden power;"

"I pray for the Goddess's favor. ”

"I pray that you will allow me to communicate spiritually with the cultists inside the altar. ”

......

As the incantation reverberated through the sealed environment, Crane suddenly felt a majestic, terrifying, and secret power descending.

His eyes were completely blackened, and he seemed to have lost his pupils and the whites of his eyes.

Seizing this opportunity, Klein silently recited the "divination statement" in his heart:

"The recipe for the clown potion. ”

"The recipe for the clown potion. ”

......

In his meditation, he used meditation to briefly enter the dream realm, and he entered the dream realm while standing.

In the gray world without sky and earth, Crane stared unusually soberly at a transparent, illusory figure this time.

He stretched out his right hand and touched the remnant spirit of Siris.

With a bang, the scene in front of him changed.

It was a desk painted with dark red paint, where stood a silver candlestick that held three candles, and where a blank page of stationery lay out.

Holding a fountain pen, Siris writes in the common Rune language:

"This is the second recipe, and the name in the note is 'Joker'. ”

"80 ml of pure water, 5 drops of mandala juice, 7 grams of black-edged sunflower powder, 10 grams of golden cloak grass powder, 3 drops of poison violet juice, the above are auxiliary materials. ”

"The main and extraordinary materials are: a single horn crystal of an adult Hornachis grey goat, and a rose with a complete human face. ”

Siris didn't seem to need to think about it, and just finished writing the recipe for the Joker's potion.

At this point, he paused, took a sip of coffee, and then untied the silver pendant that was wrapped around his wrist.

He held the pendant, half-closed his eyes, and muttered words and sentences such as "Day of Destruction", "Peace of Heart", "May the Lord bless", "Repentance to you".

By the time Siris had finished praying, Crane finally saw what the pendant looked like.

Beneath the silver bracelet, clasped one by one, hangs a thumb-sized humanoid statue.

The statue has the giant's characteristic vertical single eye, with its head facing downwards and its feet bound by chains that connect to the top.

At this moment, the giant's vertical eyes suddenly flashed with a blood-red glimmer.

Click!

The scene Klein saw was shattered in an instant, and his legs went limp, and he nearly fell to his knees.

There was a pain in his head, and Crane's eyes were blood-red, and his hands were involuntarily propped up on his knees.

After a few seconds, he recovered and stood up straight, only to feel that his spirit was unusually weak, and he seemed to hear a whisper that pierced his spirit again.

However, thanks to the progress of his "digestion" of the potion, the anomalous reaction soon calmed down.

"The Hanging Giant, the True Creator...... Siris and Haynath are members of the Aurora Society, but what the captain saw in Haynes Vincent's dream was a huge cross, a terrifying being hanging upside down and crucified, not an 'upside-down giant' of the Aurora Society......" Crane took two deep breaths, waiting for his spirit to slowly recover.

The Aurora Society is a secret organization that has only appeared in the last two or three hundred years, they worship the "true creator", with the upside-down giant as the symbol of that existence, they believe that everyone has divinity, as long as the spirit is strong enough to withstand the test after trial, then they can accumulate abundant divinity and become angels.

According to the internal records of the night watchman, the sequence 9 mastered by the Aurora Society is called "Secret Prayer Man", these extraordinary people can detect the existence of some mysterious horrors, master a certain amount of ritual knowledge and a small amount of ritual magic, and there is enough evidence that senior "Secret Prayer Man" will have more or less distorted cognitive views, and it is easy to lose control.

Sequence 7 that Aurora will master is unknown, and Sequence 8 is "Listener", which belongs to the rather terrifying extraordinary "profession":

Each "listener" can directly hear the whisper of the corresponding hidden existence, so they can often gain a lot of powerful, distorted, and unique abilities, but correspondingly, if the "listener" cannot be promoted, then it is difficult for them to survive for more than five years, in addition, the evaluation given by the internal information of the night watchman is that all "listeners" are crazy, even if they usually behave normally, they must be hidden crazy.

Klein quickly went through the information of the Aurora Society in his mind, and preliminarily judged that Siris was the "secret prayer person".

"Judging from the description, the mysteries and the soothsayers are just as bad as the skirmishes, which is in line with Siris's performance, and then it was a serious injury that caused the loss of control?, Frye said that after the death of every extraordinary, there will be some strange changes in a more or less strange way......" Crane thought as he nodded four times on his chest, praising the goddess.

Immediately afterward, a little more spiritually restored, he ended the ritual in order and unlocked the sealed spiritual wall.

The whining wind blew, and Crane forced himself to look at Siris's body again.

He noticed that there was still an obvious sarcoma left on Siris' bloody face, a deep purple and almost black sarcoma, which seemed to have fluid and light shaking inside.

"What the hell is this change?" Klein rubbed his temples, not daring to touch them.

He bent down to pick up his cane and let the other person bear some of the weight of his body.

After the backlash just now, he knew that Siris's remaining spirituality had been completely destroyed, and even the "psychic" Dai Li could no longer communicate with the other party.

After waiting for a while, Klein waited for captain Dunn and teammates Leonard and Cohenley.

"I feel that you have a fateful bond with the extraordinary, with the forces of evil, and you have encountered more extraordinary events in this period than we have seen in the previous quarter. Leonard glanced at the corpse on the ground and made a casual joke.

"Maybe it's not a coincidence. Crane thought of the red chimney he saw in "Dream Divination", as well as the majestic palace and invisible gaze of the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains that he had seen last time, so he took the opportunity to nod a word.

Dunn looked around, looked at Klein with dark gray eyes, and said:

"Have you tried channeling?"

The smell of "Holy Night Powder" and hydrosol essential oil still remains.

"Yes. Klein replied calmly, "I'm afraid you'll come too late, and the remaining spirits will show signs of dissipating. ”

"Isn't it good to see how you're doing?" said the short Cohenley concerned.

Crane handed the unsent letter to the captain and said from the beginning:

"When I went to the underground market to buy ritual materials, it occurred to me that Selena had been to the Dragon Bar and that Henus Vincent had brought her in, which meant that Haynes was a regular there, so I suspected that the gentleman in the portrait, who had something to do with Haynas, might have also been to the Underground Market. ”

"I asked the owner Svein with the portrait, and he replied in the affirmative, telling me that this gentleman was trying to buy artifacts and ancient books related to the main peak of Honakis, which reminded me of this, of someone who had just ......returned the corresponding periodicals and magazines when I borrowed them."

Leonard smiled and listened, and suddenly interjected:

"So you came here with your probationary inspector's badge and the badge of the Special Operations Department, and investigated the borrowing records of those periodicals? Actually, I'm curious, why did you have a conflict with this gentleman? Even if you encounter it directly, with your style of doing things, you should pretend not to know each other, leave the library as soon as possible, and go to Zotland Street to ask us for help. ”

"Yes, you don't have to take any chances, as long as you have a goal, as long as he hasn't left Tingen, there will always be a way to find it. Dunn, who was reading the letter, added.

Klein was a little embarrassed at once:

The librarian recognized him and shouted for the officer's help. ”

"There's no way I can't pretend I didn't hear ......"

Leonard and Kornley immediately looked at each other, one smiling undisguised, the other tilting his head to the side.

Dunn bowed his head slightly, taking his eyes off the letter and said:

"What's the gain of channeling?"

"I saw a pendant carved with an upside-down giant hanging from it, saw the giant's one-eye flash blood-red, and then withdrew from the ceremony. Klein described it truthfully.

He didn't say anything about the "Joker" potion for the time being, which was based on two considerations:

On the one hand, if Dunn and the others can find the corresponding record from Siris's hideout in the follow-up investigation, then there is no difference between what he said and what he didn't say, and no additional credit will be added.

On the other hand, if Dunn and the others don't find it, he can find an opportunity to report it in the future, and accumulate more credit for applying for materials and mixing potions, which is the method of dividing one credit into two collections, which comes from the words and deeds of old Neil during this time.

"Will Aurora?" Dunn whispered thoughtfully, then asked some related questions.

When Klein answered one by one, he glanced at the other party's tired expression, raised his cane and said:

"Yes, you've ruined a plot against the city of Tingen, you can go back and rest, Kornley, and you go find Old Neil. ”

After giving the order, Dunn shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Prior to Sequence 6, the Immortals of the 'Sleepless' path lacked many auxiliary abilities, and even ritual magic could only master the simplest and most basic ones. ”

"Captain, you mean that from Sequence 6 onwards, the Extraordinary of the 'Sleepless' path will be enhanced accordingly?" Klein asked curiously.

"Hmm. Dunn replied in the affirmative.

............

After leaving the Deville Library, Klein, who was returning to Daffodil Street in a public carriage, nearly fell asleep on the way several times.

He forced his way through the door, took off his hat, took off his coat, and fell asleep on the couch.

After some time, he suddenly woke up, took out his pocket watch, and opened it with a pop.

"Melissa has half an hour to come back, and Benson has forty or fifty minutes left...... We'll have to make them wait an hour and a half before dinner......" Crane rubbed his forehead and walked into the kitchen.

He first washed his face with cold water, then took out ingredients such as oxtail, tomatoes, carrots and onions, which he had bought at noon.

After making preparations, he was suddenly a little stunned, and he always felt that this was not quite compatible with what happened in the afternoon.

"I just saved the men of Tingen......" Klein muttered amusedly, putting on his white apron, picking up his kitchen knife, and getting busy.
