Chapter 21: The Ceremony Begins

"Has anyone been?" I looked at her in amazement, "And who else knows about this?" I muttered to myself, confused.

After listening to what I said, I snorted, and then said, "Could it be the Mu Zichen you mentioned to me this morning?" ”

"No... But I don't know who else there is besides him. ”

"Actually, there are a lot of people involved in this matter, but those who can participate to such a deep extent must have a very strong force, otherwise they would have died in the middle of the process!" The other I said.

"Death in the middle of the way? ..... "I looked at the other me in shock. "Is this really so terrifying?" I asked.

"Yes, it's terrifying, all the people involved in this matter, even if they only know about it, will definitely be implicated, death is already the gentlest way, and there is a more terrifying way to die, so you know the seriousness of this matter now." When I heard this, I couldn't help but get scared, if I really told my family or friends at that time, even if they didn't believe what I said, they would definitely be involved, then.... I don't dare to think about it anymore. At this time, the other me continued: "I have been telling you to become strong, in order to solve all the things that will be involved in these hundreds of years in this life, redeem yourself, and free us, so you must become strong enough, strong enough to control everything!" With that, she walked up to me and looked at me with a serious face. Don't worry, I'll be able to. I said firmly. Then the other me continued: "Whoever has been to that flowerbed must have another purpose, so we must get ahead of them and not let it go to waste." So we went downstairs at half-past eleven, and when we were ready, we started at twelve o'clock at midnight! ”

At half past eleven in the evening, we quietly opened the door and went downstairs. Except for the faint street lights, the rest of the area is dark, and the surrounding is quiet and scary. We went to the edge of the flower bed that had been marked in the morning, and saw that the mark was still there, and to make sure that everything was safe, I once again transferred my strength to my eyes to see if the mark was accurate. Then I took out the bone knife, slashed my hand, and drew a circle around the mark with blood, and after all this preparation, I took off the [Chain of Green Ghosts], held it tightly in my hand, and walked into the circle. Standing in the center of the circle, I felt an unprecedented cold, and I had goosebumps all over my body. Then the other me said, "I'm just outside the circle, I can't go in, or I'll die." You will follow the mantra I told you and start reciting it, no matter what sound you hear or feel, you can't move, you can't make a sound, you can't stop the mantra until the ritual is over. ”

"What happens if it moves?" I asked.

"Well, in fact, it can't be anything, it's just that all the previous efforts are wasted, of course, if it's serious, you'll die!" With that, she gave me a blank look and held up her phone for me to see the time. I saw that it was 11:59 and the ceremony was about to begin. I quickly adjusted my state and sat down in the center of the circle, still holding the [Chain of Green Ghosts] tightly in my hand. After adjusting to the state, the other me signaled that I could start.

After the incantation was pronounced, the temperature around me dropped a lot in an instant, and it felt like the road was about to freeze, and then the street lights in the community began to flicker and flicker, and finally stopped lighting up, and the community fell into darkness in an instant, and slowly I heard the wind blowing around, and the wind seemed to be mixed with a terrible cry, which was like a woman's cry, a child's cry, and a man's painful wail. As the scene became more and more weird, my hand holding the chain of green ghosts couldn't help but tremble, and I couldn't help but be afraid in my heart. At this moment, a red light appeared from under the flower bed beside me, and then the red light became brighter and brighter, and then at this moment, I saw that the flower bed was gone, and a bottomless pit appeared in front of my eyes, and the red light appeared from this big pit, like an unknown monster waking up, I really wanted to run away. But after thinking about it, I once told me that it was me who was buried hundreds of years ago in the ground, and since it was me, what was there to be afraid of?

Just as I was thinking, I saw another small bottle outside the circle that I don't know where to go, and then I saw her sprinkle the powdered things in the bottle around the circle, and then she looked up at me and said, "Don't worry, this powder can protect you from the outside world, you concentrate on chanting the mantra and don't speak." I nodded. At this moment, the street lights in the community began to flash again, but I saw a person standing under the street lights not far away! It's said that it's a person, but it's not like it, but as the street lights flickered, the person got closer and closer to me, and when it was less than a meter away from me, I suddenly found that the person was actually dead and Yi!

Not far away, Kazui, with a pale face, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, revealing sharp fangs, looked at me with a resentful expression, as if he was about to rush over and eat me at any moment. That's when the other me said, "It's okay, don't stop the spell!" Before the words fell, I saw that Heyi, who was not far away, rushed straight towards me, and then, a white light suddenly appeared around the circle, bounced Heyi away, and after bounced away, Heyi was covered in steam-like gas, and he didn't stand up again. I looked at what was happening in front of me, and I wondered, it seemed that the white light just now was the powder that I had just sprinkled around the circle, what was that powder? How can there be so much power?

I continued to chant the incantation, and I felt the red light in the hole next to me becoming more and more dazzling, I don't know if it was an illusion, I felt that because of the influence of this red light, the temperature around me had also risen a lot, but it was always a bit like being in a cemetery, very weird. Suddenly, a shrill laugh came from not far away, followed by shrill crying, screaming, and arguing..... Various sounds began to come from the darkness of the community, but when I listened closely, it was like a person's voice, and slowly I felt that this voice was getting closer and closer to me, and a strong curiosity arose in my heart, I wanted to know who this was? What did she go through during her lifetime? While I was thinking, about fifty or sixty meters away from me, a human figure vaguely appeared, and then on the left, right, and behind..... A steady stream of figures appeared around the circle, but it wasn't these that scared me, but... These people actually all have the same faces as me, but their expressions are different, some crying, some laughing, some sad, some calm, some evil, some arrogant.... Countless of me slowly walked towards me, and as I chanted incantations, I saw them come to the circle and bow down one after another. Then I saw the other one standing in front of the group, without any expression on her face, and then she suddenly raised her head and looked at me, with an evil smile on her face, and the laughter grew louder and louder, and finally the whole neighborhood echoed with her eerie laughter.

This scene seems to be familiar, the people around are kneeling, I am standing in front of the crowd, but now I am kneeling down to a group of dead souls, and the one standing at the front is also a wisp of soul, as if summoning.... Blue Oni? Suddenly, I remembered, this is the scene I saw in my dream hundreds of years ago, when I summoned the green ghost and created the [Green Ghost Chain], the difference is that at that time, there were two original vampires in the center of the circle, and now it is me and the [Green Ghost Chain], could it be that they want to summon the green ghost? But no, the green ghost is in the necklace in my hand, so what is this red light?

Thinking of this, I stopped chanting the mantra anymore, looked at the other me outside the circle, and said, "What's going on?" You want to sacrifice me? With that, I stood up and prepared to step out of the circle. But just as I was about to step out of the circle, a huge force bounced me away. It's so powerful, and after being bounced away, I feel a hot pain on my body, like being burned by flames. At this moment, an extremely powerful force came from the cave beside him, this power was different from the power of the green ghost, the power of the green ghost was the power of darkness that exuded extreme cold, and this power was like a flame. Seeing this, I knew that I had to get out of this circle quickly, or the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking of this, I tried to concentrate as much as possible and put all my power into operation, after all this was done, I saw that the body was surrounded by thick green smoke, and I felt that there was still a steady stream of power flowing in my body, I came to the edge of the circle, gathered all the power into my hand, and tried to break the barrier around the circle, but when my hand touched the edge of the circle, my power was actually absorbed, and the endless green smoke was absorbed by the barrier at the edge of the circle, and my body felt weaker and weaker. At this moment, I heard another me say mockingly: "Don't struggle, it's useless, the stronger you are, the more powerful the things you summon will be, just like when we created the [Chain of Green Ghosts], the two most powerful vampires of the first generation, plus the most powerful you at that time, and the souls of everyone present, summoned the most powerful green ghosts, so that the [Chain of Green Ghosts] was finally created, I didn't expect that hundreds of years later, I can use the most powerful you, that is, the contemporary me, as a sacrifice, to summon more powerful beings. ”

Hearing this, I said coldly, "Even if I die, you will disappear!" "That's true, but what if I make a contract with a living being?" After saying that, she laughed presumptuously, hearing this, I was stunned, I never thought that I would be killed by another of my souls, I am afraid that I will die of laughter if I say this kind of thing, but this is the case, what should I do? You can't sit back and die!
