Mystics often see things as absurd and grotesque illusions, but the truth is that most people are blind and do not see the grandeur of the unknown. - "The Road to Transcendence"

My name is Di Zi'an, I live in the southeast coastal area of the Celestial Empire, I have a warm residence and a warm family, I grew up like every child of the Celestial Empire, and I repeated the days of going to class, reviewing, reviewing, and exams every day, and little by little, I grew upwards towards the sun.

I used to wonder if I would spend my life like this: in the first half of my life, I would study, study, take exams, take exams, take high school entrance exams, and take college entrance examinations day after day until I had a good university, and then, in the second half of my life, I would find a decent job, work day after day, maybe I would have a partner, or not, this may not be something I can decide, who knows. And then, it seems that there is no then. The journey ends with just one line and a few punctuation marks.

So I began to learn about the mystery. The known things are always boring, just as I am tired of the life that I can see in the future, tired of the unchanging mechanical journey, tired of the journey without thickness, I began to pursue the mysterious discipline in this world.

I can't deny that science is a great thing, it helps people see the world as it is, it helps people say goodbye to ignorant superstitions, but I have always believed that in the face of mystery, science is just a child, maybe younger, and has not yet said goodbye to infancy.

The simple truth is that science is explored by human beings, and human beings, in the vast universe, human history, human civilization, and even the planet on which human beings depend, are as small as dust. Even on this dependent planet, there are deep ocean-like mysteries that have not yet been revealed, human beings thrive like boats and drifts, science is the oars, then the mystery of the world is the vast sea below, which may set off monstrous waves at any time to completely destroy the poor three views of human beings.

The occult, the content of this simple three words has an incomparably far-reaching connotation, and the knowledge contained in it goes up to astronomical history, down to biogeography, tracing back to the present, running through China and abroad, and its knowledge of a random branch is enough for the most intelligent scholar to spend several lifetimes of human beings to study, if there is a master who dares to call himself an encyclopedic wise man in the occult world, then he will have at least a hundred years of life.

After my first encounter with the occult, I was fascinated by this vast subject, and even if possible, I would like to go to a seminary in Great Britain on the other side of the world to learn more about the occult in a more systematic way. Unfortunately, such ambitions don't seem to be very well recognized in the Celestial Empire, and they even invented a term to describe me and those who share my interests...... They call this a kind of disease, and the sick person will behave in all kinds of grotesque and unruly behavior, and my sister will often say this to outsiders: "Oh, you said my brother who is sick in the second second? He is hopeless. "I myself am quite opposed to such a statement.

Anyway, at least I haven't given up on treatment yet.

Because it is difficult to have the opportunity to systematically learn the knowledge of occult in the Celestial Empire, I came into contact with two occult circles, these two circles exist in the form of penguin groups in daily life, and at some special time they will initiate offline gatherings, one is called the Memorandum of Paranormal Events, which has now been reduced to an irrigation group, and everyone chats every day such as: "Today's supernatural event is that my shoelaces suddenly broke when I went out, and I just bought new shoes yesterday", "The old man who teaches mathematics today smiled at me", " I actually scored 37 points in the geography test, a major breakthrough".

The other group is one I particularly like, the "Tarot Council". I learned many strange magic rituals in it, and there are many books that I have never heard of before before before I entered this circle and slowly learned about it, similar series, the fourth book, "Sigesang Codex", "Shadow Book", "Wai Bang Book", "Necronomicon Book", really list almost innumerable, many of which have not been circulated on the market. It is worth mentioning that many of the books are from foreign documents translated from the small island to the east, and it has to be said that the occult atmosphere of the people of the treasure island is stronger than that of the people of the mainland.

In the same nine years of compulsory education, the bosses in the group showed a magical talent far beyond my imagination, I wonder why they can be so good? In the two years of study, I have tried more than a dozen magic rituals, but there are only three magic rituals that I can really master and skillfully use, the full moon ceremony, the rosy cross, and the Kabbalah cross three rituals, which are already the result of hard work in the shadow of the group bosses, and in my observation for many days, I have come to the conclusion that my magic level is probably less than half of the average line in the group.

Of course, I was lucky enough to get a small number of odd objects.

Including a roll of parchment scrolls that are difficult to distinguish from the real and fake, although there has always been a musty smell, a small dagger with two small silver snakes wrapped around the handle, well, you must know that the Celestial Empire is a controlled knife, in fact, the blade of this small dagger is not sharp, it is still blunt, a "magic carpet" tattooed with the Kabbalah Tree of Life, and a silver goblet...... Oh, I should call it the Holy Grail.

This is all my possessions, for these few small things I spent half of my living expenses for two years, well, I forgot to mention, I went to college this year, in a school that is not very good but passable, I have been studying for two years, it is these two years away from my parents to go to school alone, I have slowly come into contact with the knowledge of the occult, so my parents do not know that their children are also going through nine years of compulsory education and gradually become excellent. But since I still keep the habit of going home on holidays, although I have consciously hidden my unusual hobbies in my daily life, unfortunately, my sister still spied the truth behind my ordinary.

It's a problem, and it's useless to panic. Luckily, after I "killed" her with enough chocolate for a holiday, she only occasionally talked about "my second brother in secondary school" at her friends. God knows how I got over that month, and all I remember is the smell of instant noodles and sohua cakes.

I have carefully prepared storage tools for my cute little objects, and I have an exclusive small box, which I take home during the holidays, and take it to school at the beginning of school, such days give me a sense of hidden stimulation, studying, working, meditating in my own world, divination, this is the extraordinary reality of mortal experience?

No, I don't recognize my Form 2. All I know is that these days will go on forever, until I graduate from college and start working, until, until, until one day I finally recognize the reality, maybe I will say goodbye to all this and admit my ordinariness.

But luckily, I don't know if it's unfortunate or not, I don't seem to be able to wait for that day.
