"Our rituals are perfect, and the only flaw is that we can't activate a dead brain – in other words, we can't create a mind out of nothing. ”

Squealer made no secret of the predicament they faced, "It's one of the biggest problems in the psionic realm, and we can't solve it right now. ”

"But," he said, "with you on board, the problem is different. Squealer picked up half of his ring finger from the ground, "With your flesh and blood, we can construct a psionic entity that can take the place of the mind and control this body. ”

Faust rubbed his newly grown fingers thoughtfully. Although the technical details were not yet clear, he probably understood the idea of the ritual.

His physical body has a special vitality that makes it more malleable than ordinary bodies, and after Faust became a psychic man, this vitality is also more focused on the aspect of psychic power.

In other words, Faust's body naturally contains active psychic energy, which further shapes and spontaneously tends to change into a complete mind.

Of course, it is only a psychic, a derivative of the mind, and it is impossible to really have an independent personality, but this advanced intelligence is enough to achieve the purpose of the Brotherhood.

Faust didn't understand what their purpose was, but they were supposed to be similar to the Greenwoods, both trying to seize the position of lord of the city.

Faust was more than happy to see such a scenario—he was keen on political overthrow and thought he could profit from it. An invitation from the Brotherhood is his ticket to the heart of the maelstrom and reap the rewards he can get.

"So, how do we get started now?" Squealer looked at Faust for a long time, as if in some kind of contemplation, but John's corpse would not stop decomposing and waiting for them to be ready, so he had to try to warn Faust.

"Let's get started, I'm also interested in this 'resurrection'. Faust smiled and agreed.

Squealer attaches great importance to Faust, and his attitude towards him is even a little flattering, and now he is relieved to see Faust agree—it seems that this Faustrian brother is very talkative, and he will rely on him in the brotherhood in the future, "Please get out of the way, try to stay away from this circle, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to mention them." He drew a circle in the air, signaling Faust to withdraw from the area.

Faust also sensed Squealer's attitude, which caused him to re-evaluate his worth - perhaps he was worth more than he thought, and even a high-ranking psychic wizard respected him, and he only paid lip service to the Order.

Faust obediently retreated to the corner, staring at Squealer without blinking.

Squealer took a deep breath and began to gather his emotions - his action this time was completely out of whim, but it was not impulsive. He concealed an inconsequential fact from Faust, who devoted himself primarily to the practice of spiritual prophecy before joining the Immortal Brotherhood.

His inspiration and impulses to act have more than an 80 percent probability of leading to a good outcome, so the Brotherhood has given him great freedom of action and the power to make decisions on an ad hoc basis.

The Brotherhood's original plan was to slowly influence John through psionic powers and eventually control him, but Squealer changed his plans on the fly—he decided that now was the time when the lord was at his weakest and that it was the best time to attack.

John was an integral part of the plan, and Squealer's opponents in the Brotherhood used this reason to prevent him from initiating the plan early.

But fate was on his side, and he actually met Faust in an ordinary negotiation, and he almost immediately made up his mind to cut and then play, and as long as he controlled John, his opponent had no reason to stop him.

As for defeat, Squealer has always had good luck, and he believes this time will be no exception.

He was a little nervous, this 'pseudo-resurrection' ritual was an unprecedented miracle, consisting of a series of psionic abilities up to level eight, usually presided over by a strong person who could manifest a ninth-level ability, but as long as he could master all the psionic abilities in the ritual, it was okay to be a little lower.

The first step in the ritual is the "dispersion", which is an important preparatory step.

First of all, it is "dispel psionic energy". It's a level 3 ability that dissolves the psionic effects attached to the target's corpse and prevents it from interfering with rituals, which are delicate jobs that can cause uncontrollable changes with any additional interference. Next up is "Dispel Witchcraft". It's a level 4 ability, and it costs a little more to dispel things that are different from you, again to avoid interference.

Squealer's ability to cast a level 3 or 4 ability was as easy as eating or drinking, and even the omen caused by the psionic energy was negligible—Faust could only see the light around John's corpse distorted slightly, as if he were looking through hot gas. It didn't take Squealer two minutes to complete this step, which is why he carefully made two dispels.

The second step, "Emptying", also known as "Extraction", is to make room for psionic entities to be created next.

Squealer chose the brain as a repository for psionic entities—the large, secure, and stealthy cranial cavity of humans has always been the go-to choice for this type of spell or ability.

You don't need to be as careful as dispersing, you just need to take out the organ you want to remove, and you don't even need supernatural powers, just smash the corpse's skull with a crowbar and dig it out.

Squealer didn't take that stupid approach after all. He had wanted to use the psychic energy of the teleportation system to remove John's brain, but he lacked the knowledge in this area, lest a mistake ruin the ritual.

Since the best way doesn't work, the next best way is the next best. Squealer stared into his palm, his eyes lit up - Faust could even see silver flames in it, and a pungent smell began to permeate, a bit like engine oil, but more pungent than engine oil.

This level of omen indicates that it must be a powerful psionic power. And that's true, it's a level 6 ability, "Sound of Destruction." It belongs to the Psychic Transformation system, but many high-level psychic warlocks love it—it's almost the most destructive of the Tier 6 abilities.

But Squealer wasn't trying to take advantage of the destructive power of the ability. Some skilled sonic handlers (psychic transformation psychic warlocks) can easily adjust the frequency of the destruction sound wave so that it destroys it with resonance rather than the energy it carries, which is more efficient.

Squealer was far superior to level six, but he wasn't so good at manipulation that he caused a huge omen—but he did it.

His palms became blurred, which was the vibration and the source of this supernatural power. Squealer's ability to attach the power that originally belonged to the sound wave to the palm of his hand undoubtedly shows his profound attainment in the system of psychic self-formation—he is just around the corner to become a ninth-level psychic sorcerer.

Squealer didn't have to, he could have blasted John's brain with a sonic wave of destruction, but considering that there was still Faust in the room, he decided to put in a little more effort to avoid accidental injury.

He pressed his vibrating palm against the door of John's head, causing John's head to vibrate as well—Faust feared that it would knock his head off again.

But Squealer's sewing yielded well, and John's head was solid, but some snot was shaken out......

Wait, Faust looked at the gray-white bloodshot "snot". Faust patted his head, and the skill of making people flow their brains out of their nostrils with a wave of his hand was far more deterrent than its own power.

Squealer also cast a fifth-level psionic energy "Vacuum Barrier", which is also a move of the Mind Transformation System. It was originally created for the once-popular sonic spell, but Squealer used this trick to create a small vacuum, sucking out the snot-shattered brain through the pressure difference.

Faust had learned a lot - not that he had been able to perform the ritual on his own, in fact, he didn't understand anything about it. What opened his eyes was Squealer's use of psionic powers. These tips are undoubtedly built on a deep understanding of the nature of these skills.

Faust had looked down on the old man who was a little flattering to him, but now, he was convinced by Squealer.

"Now comes the most important step, Brother Faustus, look closer. Squealer snapped in a reminder, and he picked up Faust's severed finger and began to recite the words.

Faust's eyes widened quickly—he knew that the drama was finally here.
