1395 The second stage of the ceremony
Demon summoning has quite strict requirements for the scale, steps, sacrifices, and so on of the sacrificial ritual. In the past apocalyptic vision, the Whisperer has also tried demon summoning rituals, and it is actually very rare that he can finally summon demons according to his own imagination and some occult rules.
Not only that, all sacrificial rituals are not static, and there will be different changes depending on the sacrifices used, the method and order of sacrifice, and the various pre-sacrifice treatments. If we want to achieve a specific goal and perform the most perfect sacrificial ritual, then there are strict requirements for the order and method of all actions.
This is also the reason why sacrificial rituals go on for a long time, and why there are many actions that seem strange to others, or even seem unnecessary.
If "people" are sacrificed, then if we want to pay attention to the effect and success rate, then the steps to be followed need to be even more meticulous - when, where, under what circumstances, and by what method to modulate the human body, to torture the spirit of others, and finally to make it die according to the necessary method, and so on.
The Cult of Doomsday Shinrito has studied sacrificial rituals and has its own set of practices in this regard, where they rigorously select sacrifices, create an environment, and set a particular time and place, following not only the occult definition of malignness, but also the popular symbol of malice.
This is also the fact that in many cases, they will always do things that are incomprehensible, such as all kinds of ominous numbers and patterns, cruelty to sacrifices, and so on. Sometimes they spend a long time dealing with sacrifices, allowing malicious infiltration of the target's life, often controlled and regulated with drugs, "paradise" is the most commonly used medicine, but not the only medicine. Controlling them is not simply to control their minds, but also to regulate their minds and bodies. Let the sacrifice be in the best state required for the sacrifice, both mentally and physically.
These cumbersome, rather idealistic, steps make their actions appear to be victorious, but they do "superfluous" things. This is about to lead to failure. However, it is precisely because of these "superfluous" things that it is difficult to stop the sacrificial rituals of even those who can kill the followers of the Doomsday Shinrikyo cult.
These guys are not afraid of death at all, and their actions are not for survival, honor, and profit. What guides their actions and thoughts is only the doomsday truth that they know.
So, for them, death is only a step towards the truth. If you can't avoid it, don't hesitate. Death can stop their actions, but it cannot remove their will to carry them out in an organized way.
Holding on to my giant shield, I stood thirty meters away in the ruins, looking at these Doomsday Shinrikyo believers. Their eyes were too familiar to make too many waves in my heart. I know what they will do next, the actions of the Doomsday Shinrikyo Church, after the sacrificial rites have been determined. tends to be simpler. As long as I'm not dead, then. They're going to die, and even if I don't kill them, they'll kill themselves.
Suicide, in all kinds of occultism, is mostly a symbol of the heinous sin. Even when there is a specially concocted living sacrifice, this sacrificial ritual usually adds "let the sacrifice be in infinite pain of the heart and body." suicide in pursuit of liberation" is such a malicious step. There is no evidence as to whether this step would have made the sacrificial ritual more effective, but if you believe it, you should do it. Nor is there any evidence that it is invalid.
The most superficial and direct manifestation of the horror of the Doomsday Shinrikyo to ordinary people lies in this sacrificial ritual. As for the insistence on the truth of the end times, and the strange powers, ordinary people are dead by the time they realize it, and the pain and horror are not so strong compared to the sacrificial rituals.
There is no decisive difference between the pain and suffering that the Doomsday Shinrikyo not only sacrifices others but also self-sacrificers, but the biggest difference between the two is whether they enjoy this pain or whether they have expectations for it.
Each of these believers in front of him is a third-level demon pattern emissary, and they are experienced mystical experts, but their will, concepts, and thoughts are completely different from other mystical experts. Moreover, it is very inappropriate to use the same standards to measure their behavior and feelings.
In my eyes, these believers in the Doomsday Shinrikyo are of course wrong, barbaric and bloody, dark and cruel, completely inhumane and not in line with the requirements of a better world. However, when they look at people like me, they will also dismiss us as fools who go against the truth, who pretend to be the saviors of the end of the world, but in fact we are people with twisted hearts. Even the definitions of "human" and "world" in their eyes may be different from the definitions of "human" and "world" in our eyes.
If you are faced with the same thing, you can't make the same definition of it, produce the same concept, and extend your thoughts and behaviors on the same definition and concept, then in the end, it will lead to cognitive inability to communicate.
Every time I talk to Shinriyo, I can feel this incommunicacy, and although they all use the same words, they seem to be saying different things. Therefore, in the past apocalyptic illusions, there was almost no verbal communication between the Cybersphere and the Doomsday Shinrikyo.
The battle begins in silence and ends in silence.
In my memory, it was a brutal, oppressive, and silent battlefield.
I let out a deep breath, moving my uncomfortable body, and activated the magic pattern again.
-- The Rubik's Cube system is activated
-- Preset mode two
-- The architecture begins
The massive shield began to shrink to a size that could be lifted with a left hand. Then, with his right hand, he slowly pulled the long knife out of the shield.
So, let's get started, round two.
I stared silently at the people in front of me, and behind them, at the end of the gap in the wall, the whole hall was filled with blood-colored light, which flowed in the loop, but neither the direction nor the route seemed to have a discernible regularity at first glance. However, this chaotic flow of details is viewed from a holistic perspective. But there is a rhythm, and this rhythm is constantly becoming rapid.
I couldn't help but hold my left eye because the rhythm seemed to resonate with the twitching of my left eye.
They let me stand up and didn't take advantage of the fact that I was still relieved to do another fire-rampling attack. It certainly wasn't because they suddenly became stupid, but because it was the need of the sacrificial ritual itself. If this is a demon summoning sacrifice ritual set up for me, then, in order to achieve the best possible effect, before completing the sacrifice, not only are they limited but also required of my actions.
All their actions against me at this time can also be seen as part of the actions that guide me. But I can't tell which of my thoughts and actions I have. It's what they want to see.
Among the surviving believers, the priest and a few women from the choir stood in a prominent position, and no one paid any attention to the strange circuits in the hall during the observation of the chain judgment. I suddenly felt that they were expecting my shot, expecting me to kill them with my own hands. Their gaze became terrifying, and one intuitively felt that it was full of malicious traps.
I didn't use a quick sweep. Just tentatively took a few steps forward. Suddenly, six figures appeared around me. Attacking from the front, back, left, right, and top. I didn't enter a state of rapid sweeping, and in the naked eye, the actions of these six people were simply unbelievably fast. Driven by my instincts, I rolled and blocked attacks with my shield, which were not just with my hands and feet. There are also those who use cold weapons, and they even have many negative effects, however, when they hit the shield, they are full of malicious power. It was immediately blocked.
The shield was the product of my subconscious use of the ability of the fourth-level magic pattern to absorb the aftermath power of the temporary data hedge phenomenon. I didn't understand the material composition, nor did I understand the purpose of the red texture on its surface. However, it is probably these red textures that have eliminated the erosion of mysterious power, and the terrible impact before is not only a physical impact force, but also a chaotic and inexplicable mystery, the material can eliminate the physical impact, but the mystery needs considerable mystery to eliminate. In the end, the shield managed to block the terrible and fatal blow, and it was the key to my survival.
I have reason to believe that this shield is definitely not something that can be broken by the pursuit of six mysterious experts.
These attackers will retreat when they feel the solid defensive power of their shields, and I swing them vigorously before they do. The bodies of the six occult experts were slightly unbalanced, and I pierced the heart of one of them with a long knife.
It's easy to say, but it's just because they're also high-speed movers, but they have a difference in their ability to readjust their movements after losing their balance. Losing your balance in battle and not being able to control your limbs to protect your vital points means great danger, whether the situation forces you or not.
Chaining decisions will never miss this kind of loophole.
The corpse that had been pierced through the heart hung from the knife, and I threw it at another mysterious expert who was moving at high speed, including him, and the remaining five seemed to be aware of the danger, and had evacuated more than ten meters away. Only then did the corpse arrive belatedly and smashed at the feet of the mysterious expert who had been targeted.
The next moment, I was in a state of swift skimming, passing by the five mysterious experts who had re-entered the state of high-speed movement, once again blocking their attacks with my shield. Regardless of why the other believers did not show any signs of attacking, in the non-rapid raid state, a second of concentrated firepower was already a fairly quick choice. Other than that, I don't think they have any more power.
It's like they're tied up, waiting for me to kill them.
Without any hesitation, I swung my long knife and severed the necks of four of them before the high-speed movers returned, all the way to the priest. The priest opened his arms to me at a very normal, but not at all, normal speed, in the observation of the rapid skimming, as if he were an invitation.
There is no doubt that I did not stop there. The priest was pierced by the long knife, and the blood droplets brought out by the tip of the knife splashed in the air, and then flipped in the air in slow motion. I kicked the corpse away, once again parrying all the attacks that came in the same direction with my shield.
This attack, in terms of physical impact, even I had to take a few steps back. I realized that as the number of people decreased, the power of these people was showing an abnormal increase.
It turns out that before the demon is summoned, the more people are killed, the more power the last person to stay has? If this is also the process of the sacrificial ceremony, it is understandable, when the last third-level demon messenger with the strongest power and the strongest mystery becomes a sacrifice, the demon that is finally summoned will also change. However, the abnormal growth of this power cannot, of course, be unlimited.
I wonder if the last remaining person will be promoted to a fourth-level Demon Pattern Emissary because of this before I kill him. However, the promotion of the fourth-level magic pattern is more uncertain than the first three levels - at the beginning, the magic pattern can be upgraded through the death of other demon pattern messengers and absorbing the opponent's magic patterns, using this characteristic, theoretically as long as you become a magic pattern messenger, you can become a third-level magic pattern messenger in the shortest possible time, but it is only the third-level magic pattern, which is already the limit.
I've become a Level 4 Demon Emringer, however, I'm not sure my experience is accurate. Or, it should be said, I don't actually know the normal way to become a fourth-level demonic pattern emissary, I can only be sure that the methods used to promote to third-level demonic patterns in the past can't make demonic patterns promoted.
If the Doomsday Shinrikyo refers to the enhancement of the third-level magic pattern, then the last remaining third-level magic pattern messenger, no matter how strong they can become, will probably still be limited to the third level.
Just as I was guessing, the women of the choir came out of the rear, knelt down in front of me, clasped hands, and placed them on their chests as if praying to me. At this moment, the other occult experts visibly paused, and without hesitation, I swung my knife and slashed off the women's heads, watching as their bodies turned to ashes, dodging the blood that had been completely sprayed out of their physical restraints.
I was silent as I watched as the puddles of blood on the ground bubbled up as if they were boiling, and then a large number of light-like circuits extended from the church, drawing the blood into it.
The circuit of blood and light flowing, from the overall outline, is already full of asymmetry. This asymmetry makes people feel awkward, and it makes people feel that it is full of some kind of malicious curse. This abnormal feeling in the senses is enough to make ordinary people frightened and uneasy. (To be continued......)
