After a short rest, and a complete mental and physical recovery, the group packed up their things and cleaned up all traces of the ritual - most importantly by the method of prayer to remove the traces of spells, and they returned to Moran's bookstore through the "Gate of the Earth", located behind the pile of debris in the cellar.

After clearing the spell traces with the same prayer, Miss Moran had Stone and Iroh escort Madame Violet and Leo home, respectively.

The cultivation time of these two people is still relatively short, and after holding the ritual and feeling Si Chen, it will take a long time for the throbbing of the soul to completely calm down. In this process, the invisible technique can no longer be used, nor can it be strongly stimulated.

It's getting dark now, and it's not safe to stay in London at night. If you don't have a special escort, you may have an accident.

Whether it's being forced to cast a spell to protect oneself, which causes further shock to the soul, or simply being killed by thieves, it's a terrible thing.

As for Mr. Norman, he doesn't need bodyguards. With his cultivation, he had already been able to retract and release freely, although the consumption in the ceremony just now was quite large, but this level of consumption alone was not enough to make him lose his combat ability.

What's more, he also carries with him the monster known as the "Spirit of Steam".

If anyone wants to rob on his way home, they'll be lucky enough to enjoy the hospitality of the Wandering Rim.

The Spirit of Steam can grow by devouring the pain and fear of humanity, and Mr. Norman certainly wouldn't mind letting the robbers make a selfless effort to help the Spirit of Steam recover.

Watching the three carriages walk away, Miss Moran nodded and said to Pan Long, "Mr. Pan, would you like to listen to the advice of a junior?"

She put her posture low.

"Of course, please. Pan Long said.

"I think you should change your appearance. "I'm not talking about makeup, I'm talking about change...... I believe it won't be hard for you. I have read books from the East that say that practitioners in the East will choose one of the two variation techniques called the 'Thirty-six Heavenly Gods' and the 'Seventy-two Demon Kings'. The former has fewer changes but can give great power to the changes, while the latter has a wide variety of changes, and the changes are almost exactly the same as the real thing, and it is impossible to distinguish them. ”

She said with interest: "In the book I read, there is a powerful Shiyuan God, who likes to use the Seventy-Two Demon King Transformation Technique to tease his enemies when he has not yet become Si Chen. ”

"What is the name of that Shiyuan God?

"It's called 'comprehending the truth of the void'—that's what it means. The translation of the name is a paraphrase rather than a transliteration, because Si Chen's name focuses on meaning, not pronunciation. ”

Pan Long was silent for a few seconds.

He almost understood which book Miss Moran was talking about, but he really didn't expect that in this world, that book would actually become a book introducing Dongfang Sichen.

Though...... In his impression in his previous life, there is indeed a saying that "Journey to the West is a book that introduces the concept of cultivating immortals".

"That Si Chen's skills are not comparable to ordinary people. He said, "As a strong man who once single-handedly disrupted Si Chen's order and threatened the Lord of the Stars, he is a particularly powerful one even in Si Chen. What He can do, I can't. ”

Miss Moran's face showed a little disappointment and regret, she had probably wanted to see the wonderful spells of the East for a long time.

"But if it's just a change of my appearance, for me...... It's not hard to get to. ”

As he spoke, Pan Long covered his face with his hands, and his muscles trembled slightly as he changed his position.

When he removed his hand, it was no longer the Oriental youth with a distinctly Central Asian character standing in front of Miss Moran, but a pure European.

Bronzed skin, visible wrinkles, and a strong facial line...... At this moment, he looks like a seasoned adventurer, the kind of character who has been in the middle and lower classes of society for a long time, and he doesn't know how many bounties and wanted people he has on his back.

Miss Moran looked at him curiously, and after looking at him for a long time, she said, "This look...... It's a bit like Mr. Elloh. ”

"That's right, it's based on him. Pan Long replied, "I think disguising yourself as similar to him can save you a lot of trouble." At the very least, the average detective probably wouldn't want to force a dangerous person who could be snatched out of his arms at any moment to take a risk. Nor will the Bureau waste time and energy dealing with a wanted criminal who should be dealt with by Scotland Yard. ”

"The wanted warrant on Mr. Iroh has been cancelled when he was specially hired by the Prevention and Suppression Bureau!"

Pan Long smiled and didn't say anything.

He almost blurted out just now, "Damn! He really has a wanted warrant on him!"

He agreed with Miss Moran to meet again tomorrow afternoon, and he turned and left Moran's bookshop, and walked briskly through the night streets of London on a gentleman's cane.

But he didn't go far before his figure disappeared without a trace.

About twenty minutes later, he had already unknowingly arrived in the anti-suppression bureau and burrowed into the telegraph hall.

Although it was already evening, the telegraph hall was busy, and at least five or six telegrams were ticking together, keeping the staff in charge of these telegrams busy.

Dr. Natalia Long sat in the chair at the back of the hall, leaning back in her chair, tilting her head and breathing evenly.

One look at it tells that she is asleep.

Pan Long noticed that she had significant dark circles under her eye sockets and was clearly lacking in sleep.

There is no doubt that she should have not slept from yesterday to today, and now she is very sleepy.

After a while, a head from another department came in and woke her up.

"Natalia, here's a piece of information for you to decipher. The director handed her several yellowed pieces of paper, "It's about 'coins and death.'" ”

Natalia was still a little dazed, but when she heard this, she immediately came to her senses. She carefully took the sheets of paper and flipped through them.

"[Place a coin made of gold on top of the target's head] ...... [If the coin falls, the target will be mortally cursed] ...... [The yellow-clothed Grim Reaper comes to the front with a mechanical stride and announces the arrival of death]...... "There wasn't much on the sheets of paper, and she quickly read them, and then said, "This is a horror story about a curse ritual called 'money on the head.'" I don't think this ritual has anything to do with the terrorist attack that happened this morning — oh, it was yesterday morning. ”

The director looked a little disappointed and asked, "Why do you think it's okay? ”

"The two have very different styles. This ritual tends to curse, and yesterday morning's one is very simply violent. Natalia explained, "In terms of crime, the ritual tends to be a fraudster, whereas yesterday morning it was a murder in the street." ”

She smiled and spread her hands: "Although they are both crimes, even in Scotland Yard, the department in charge of these two cases is different. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure. ”

"Then please give me a copy of the appraisal certificate. The director sighed, "I'll take it back and file it." ”

Natalia nodded, took out a piece of fixed-format paper from the drawer, wrote on it for a while, signed and stamped it, and then handed it to the other party along with the yellowed sheets of paper.

Watching the director leave, she sighed and said to herself, "Actually, if I could, I'd rather never find that criminal - if I wanted to deal with him, I don't know how many people would die!"

She smiled slightly, and her voice was so small that except for Pan Long, who had amazing ear power, she didn't want to hear it clearly even if she was close at hand.

"Anyway, Her Majesty the Great Empress has hundreds of relatives and nobles, and if a few die, what does it matter? It's good to die and change again. ”

Obviously, she didn't take the "respected Lords" to heart at all.

After muttering this, she asked her subordinates to make her a cup of coffee, and took a sip of the hot coffee, while checking a few recent uncertain news.

One of the pieces of news made her frown.

"In the evening of this day, the remnant sun trembled slightly, and seemed to be happy because he had been offered. It is suspected that someone held a 'sunset ceremony'......"

She put down her coffee, picked up the information, and looked at it carefully for a long time before she said to herself: "The Sunset Ritual is quite secret, and as far as I know, only the Limian Order retains the lineage of this ritual, other than that...... Let me think about it, it seems that I have seen an introduction to it somewhere......"

She pulled out a notebook, flipped through it for a moment, and finally nodded.

"By the way, Jenic Krosser, who was arrested and burned at the stake a few years ago, also studied this, and he tried to resurrect the dead through this ritual, but in the end it was a cannibalistic walking corpse...... At that time, he made a lot of money by recording the ceremony and selling it at an underground auction house. The videotape, dubbed "Silence!" is a hit with the adrenaline-seeking and curious crowd...... In its efforts to track down and destroy them, more than 40 copies have been destroyed, but an indeterminate number of video copies are still circulating in society. ”

She closed the note: "The Order of Livia lives in seclusion in Sisbania Galaesia, a hidden enclave at the source of the Limian River. They are known as the 'snake people'. Some of their descendants live in London, call themselves 'Forgetful Society', and run several pubs here...... But they will not perform the sunset ceremony again, because they have already distanced themselves from the former Limian Order. ”

"In this way, the ceremony should be held by the crazy people who watched the crazy video of Jernik Krosser and wanted to follow the same example. They...... Their methods shouldn't be able to please the remnant sun......"

This well-informed and intelligent woman couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.

Of course, she had seen the tape and understood that the ritual had gone in the wrong direction - the remnant sun was a god of silence, a poignant ending, and he did not rejoice in blasphemy and terror. The most appropriate inducement to please Him and receive His gifts is quiet and sincere tears.

In fact, the true "sunset ritual" is not difficult, as long as the time is right, the tears are sincere enough, and the right heart throbbing is used as an offering, the ritual can be completed.

This ritual is often used by the Anti-Suppression Bureau, and it is quite common within the Anti-Suppression Bureau. By holding this ritual frequently, the Bureau of Prevention and Suppression also developed a certain connection with the great Si Chen, or it can be said, to please him to a certain extent.

If needed, it is believed that He should be able to provide a little help to the Bureau.

"Perhaps, we can ask Him to tell us what exactly is the sunset ritual by praying to the remnant sun?" she muttered to herself.

But soon, she dismissed the idea.

"This kind of thing shouldn't be decided by me, I'm just an advisor to the Prevention and Suppression Bureau, and I don't have to bear such a big responsibility! This kind of thing involving the great Si Chen, let those high-ranking directors and deputy directors find a way!"

So she took out a pen and simply signed the words "read, transferred to archive" in the document.
