1886 Ritual Strikes Back

The Nameless Son stared into Father Edward's eyes with a mixture of anticipation, uneasiness, and determination, as if at this moment he was wise enough to see deep inside through these eyes, through the waves of thoughts and emotions, to feel Father Edward's hard-tempered sensibility that was shattered at this moment, and thus to realize the predicament and fear that Father Edward was facing today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 There seemed to be a certain relief in his gaze, as if his soul was about to break away from his shell and into the roaring waves, into the abyss of Father Edward's heart, to the end of consciousness where the unspeakable was connected.

The more the eyes full of human kindness, the more difficult it was for Father Edward to get rid of his unfettered sensibility and return to rational calmness, and therefore the more Father Edward felt dangerous, so that Father Edward couldn't help but look away from each other.

Father Edward was like a patient who had been given oxygen, breathing hard, he heard the sound of breathing, and only felt that this voice was domineering and forcefully repelled the other voices of heaven and earth, and he felt the existence of his own existence very deeply, and he felt the existence of the Nameless Son from his own existence very deeply, as if in this short look at each other, the soul of the other party really entered his own body. He raised his head, and he originally knew rationally that it was only the light embedded in some block of the zenith unique to the ruins of the ruling bureau, but he sensually produced a feeling of being in the universe - a more emotional description should be that he was standing in a small corner of the dark universe, and he was like a scholar who knew the vastness of the universe for the first time, looking up at the starry sky, allowing unclear thoughts and emotions full of human philosophy to rush in his mind.

At this moment, it was as if the temporary data hedging space contained in the entire ruins of the Ruling Bureau, all the shells that wrapped around the ruins of the Ruling Bureau, the things that made the area where they were currently located look like a storage grid surrounded by layers, all these obstacles that prevented them from looking "outside" had all disappeared. Father Edward only felt that what he was stepping on was not the ground, not any kind of material thing, although there was a force supporting his feet, but there was actually nothing there, and the huge facilities around him also became transparent, leaving only a silhouette that could be penetrated by the eye, a sense as if there was something there, but in fact, his surroundings seemed to be empty, spreading to infinitely far-reaching places.

In the illusion, space is rotating; In the hallucination, the sense of space is disappearing; In the illusion, an infinite world radiates outward from around me and from afar, and the two overlap and become a whole, so that I seem to be floating in mid-air.

A dark feeling suddenly pulled Father Edward back from such a hallucination, and everything around him was once again full of reality. It was then that Father Edward felt that he was suddenly able to breathe again, or rather, he had finally remembered how to breathe. He was sweating profusely, his body was cold, and no matter how violently his heart was beating, he still felt that the blood volume was insufficient, and the blood flow was not smooth, which caused some paralysis in his limbs. This hallucination, which was accompanied by the collapse of his reason and the roar of emotion, became more and more huge, and made him more and more sure that things were rapidly slipping towards an irretrievable limit.

There's no time, there's no time. The voice echoed in Edward's mind, and he couldn't tell if it was his own thought or if it was something else that had flowed into his head. However, he couldn't agree more than that there was no time. Father Edward knew very well that if he had been in the strongest state of his rational defenses, he would not have said so much to the Nameless Son, nor would he have been touched by his performance, and he would seize every time to try to bring the situation under control by what he thought was best.

However, this opponent is too powerful, and the power transmitted from the level of consciousness must have penetrated the collective subconscious of mankind, and the attack along the connection between the three messengers, along the connection between the three messengers and the witch VV, in a very short time, exhausted their consciousness. The witch VV may be the strongest consciousness walker among humans, but this monster is beyond the realm of humans, reaching the strongest and incomparable level among humans.

After the witch VV entered the collective subconscious of mankind, what exactly did it track? What the hell are you fighting against? Father Edward thought in this direction, trying to remember the words that the witch VV had left before he acted. Before this happened, even though Father Edward had heard that the witch VV regarded the "monster of the collective human subconscious" as the greatest threat, he did not think that she would actively seek out that thing, because there was no need to look for it, and if this "monster of the collective human subconscious" existed, the sacrifice ritual of the Doomsday Shinrikyo would summon it, and would definitely do so. In a sense, this summoning itself is a manifestation of the apocalyptic process, and the Doomsday Shinrikyo will not let it go.

However, what exactly is the "monster in the collective human subconscious"? No one knows until its existence is truly confirmed, its existence can actually be observed. Perhaps the conscious walkers who have entered the collective human subconscious have actually seen it - there are rumors of this - but in the end, those people have not given a definitive answer.

This time, did the witch VV really find the "monster in the collective subconscious of mankind"? Defeated the witch VV, and came to find the gap, is it the "monster in the collective subconscious of mankind" that is strongly influencing himself and devouring his heart? Father Edward could not find any answers to these questions, and could only guess based on his own feelings. But in any case, you must act, you must get out of the emotional vortex that has become irrational, arm yourself with reason, and promote your own actions.

Consciousness determines behavior, and it is very difficult for the interfered consciousness to lead to the right action. Father Edward had already experienced the difficulty of this - far more difficult than he had ever thought and seen in the past. Perhaps Father Edward had already used the power of 999 disguise to try to interfere with the consciousness of others, but it was the first time that his own consciousness had been interfered with so strongly.

In this respect, Father Edward had to admit that he was just a novice.

"There's no time." Seeing that Father Edward was once again in a state of starless stupor, the Nameless Son hurriedly grabbed his shoulders and shook him vigorously, "Wake up, Father Edward, there's no time, you have to do something to me quickly!" Only you know what I can do! ”

Father Edward seemed to be awakened from a deep nightmare, and he shook his head vigorously, his voice like a boulder on his back, making it all the more clear to the Nameless Son how bad he was doing. Obviously he was the weakest person, the Nameless Son thought so, and he had an unreal feeling, only that Father Edward's situation should have appeared to him first.

"Yes...... There is no time......" said Father Edward with difficulty, his gaze trying to coalesce so that the Nameless Son could perceive a blurred focal length. But at the same time, the Nameless Son is definitely the focus of Father Edward's gaze, not himself at all.

Father Edward pushed the Nameless Son away and said in a hoarse voice, "It was originally what I needed to do, but I was in a bad situation, so I had to let you do it yourself." ”

"What should I do?" The Nameless Son did not resist, but rather understood in his voice.

How can the power of the Nameless Child be mobilized? In fact, the witch VV told Father Edward about related matters. Among the three messengers, Father Edward's talent is particularly valued, although the Four Heavenly Courtyard has also become an existence with terrifying mysterious powers, but in terms of self-management and thinking, Father Edward is the closest person to the witch VV, and he is the only one who can deduce the witch VV's method of using the Nameless Son according to a few words, and adjust it according to the situation to ensure the success rate - to bind an unspeakable, unimaginable, and unknown body to the Nameless Son, It is not possible to make it manifest and use the ritual according to the script.

Born from the Apocalyptic Religion of the Faith, Father Edward had a deep understanding of the risky rituals of sacrifice, all of which had a strict outline and a delicate process that was tailored to the time and place, rather than being as crude and direct as outsiders might suggest. He was also well aware of how these sacrificial rituals were perceived by occult organizations hostile to Shinrikyo Doom, including the Netball, who thought that it was the flexibility of the rituals that determined the adaptability of the rituals, and thus that the rituals could be performed without restraint on the basis of local materials and under certain conceptual conditions—this was nothing but an illusion.

For Father Edward himself, there is no more elaborate ritual than the sacrifice ritual of the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion, in order to be able to complete the ritual under certain targeted conditions, it is necessary to adjust some of the core important materials, those things that can be taken locally, the role of the whole sacrificial ritual is more inclined to a kind of blinding method, or a riddle used to hide the truth, the most important things are mixed with a bunch of dispensable things, thereby reducing the probability of the ritual being destroyed, And to the extent predictable, shift the core to those materials that would otherwise be dispensable.

The method of using the Nameless Son is essentially a sacrificial ritual, and of course it also refers to the sacrificial ritual practices that the Doomsday Shinrikyo is best at. The most central and secret knowledge and experience in the entire New Age Gospel are possessed only by the witches VV and Father Edward.

Therefore, once the witch VV is unable to use the Nameless Son, then this task will have fallen to Father Edward - even if the witch VV dies, the chain of three messengers she holds will not be completely wasted, and Father Edward can still complete the final part of the chain of three messenger powers from himself.

Now, it seems, the time has come when we have to do it.

However, even Father Edward himself did not have the energy to complete the details of the sacrifice ceremony. At his command, the Nameless Son did not hesitate to cut his wrist with a knife. A large amount of blood gushed out, more than the Nameless Son had imagined, but he did not feel much pain, as if some kind of anesthetic had been injected when the knife had cut his wrist. The shape of this knife is also extremely strange and peculiar, although it is said to be a knife, but it is just not a more accurate description, and it can even be thought that it is not a knife at all, but something alive, that is one of Father Edward's nine hundred and nine disguises - in the entire sacrificial ceremony, the power of nine hundred and nine disguise will play an important role in threading the needle, which is why the Nameless Son is ranked after Father Edward in the chain of three messenger powers, if this insurance can be adjusted to the first priority at will, Of course it's the best, however, it's actually impossible to do.

The amount of blood gushing out of the wrist wound was still increasing, and it was more than anyone who had ever seen a wrist cut to realize that it was unusual. The Nameless Son stared at his wrist, staring at his own blood, he had never seen so much blood flowing out of his body, and he didn't feel any discomfort except for the paralysis of his wrist. Ordinary people have shed so much blood, they must be dying, but they don't feel any tiredness, and they don't feel cold, just like the amount of blood they still have, which is dozens of times that of the current flow.

He soon realized that his thoughts didn't seem wrong, but he couldn't understand how such a large amount of blood was preserved in his body. He is different from the other three messengers, usually lives like an ordinary person, and regularly participates in health check-ups, but after going to so many hospitals, no one can see the difference between him and ordinary people, no matter how delicate the medical equipment is, it shows that his physiological composition and state are no different from normal people - now the difference has appeared, although he has always felt that he is in a group of strange and mysterious superhuman organizations, which seems very special, but at this moment, the sense of special has been flattened.

The blood was channeled by a new power under the gaze of the two, and this power came from Father Edward. In the eyes of the Nameless Son, Father Edward is deformed, but this transformation is like an illusion, he feels that Father Edward's silhouette is ghosted, the outermost silhouette remains the figure in front of him, but the inner ghost outline is distorted into something else. It's like a column of smoke blown by the wind, like a rotating base, and the clay that deforms with gestures makes an inaudible sound, but it makes people feel that it is making a sound. If you listen carefully, you can't help but have an imagination: the sound becomes clear, at first monotonous and harsh, then rich and fluctuating, but it does not become beautiful, the evil of human nature, the ruin of reason, the perceptual betrayal, etc., those negative things that may exist in a person, are like paint on the palette, stirred into other colors by invisible brushes.
