Meng Xuan's small electric car ran on the road on the outskirts of the West District, making a brisk humming sound.

In order to reduce the possibility of exposure, Meng Xuan did not choose the abandoned tannery in the North District last time, but found an abandoned house in the suburbs of the West District as the venue for this ceremony.

This abandoned house was supposed to have been built by a farmer in the neighborhood to provide temporary accommodation and store crops.

Although there are two floors, the structure is very simple, all made of red bricks and cement, not even the walls are painted, and the room is a mess, covered with dust and cobwebs, and there are some wooden blocks, sticks, cloth bags, and discarded garbage piled up on the ground.

In addition to this, Meng Xuan also smelled a smell of.

It's not that there used to be open defecation in the neighborhood, it's the smell of urea in the pesticide residue in those bags.

This kind of place that even a homeless person would not want to live in······

Meng Xuan was a little speechless, but this was exactly what he needed, and no one would disturb the ritual.

Because there was no mention of the need for a full moon or direct moonlight in the ritual steps, Meng Xuan chose the ceremony location on the second floor of the abandoned small building.

The second floor was supposed to be a farmer's quarter, so it was cleaner than the first floor, but it was also covered with cobwebs and dust.

Fortunately, Meng Xuan had already prepared, put aside the ritual materials, took out the small brush he had with him, cleared a clean area about two meters square on the ground, and began the preparation activities for the ceremony.

The first is the painting of the ritual formation, with the experience of the last ceremony, after many days of practice, Meng Xuan is confident at this time.

He took out the fresh ox blood in the bottle of mineral water, poured about a liter of it into the basin, poured the bright red Kax red rock powder and quartz powder into it, carefully poured half of the golden gold powder into it, stirred well, dipped the liquid in the bowl with a small brush, and began to draw the formation pattern on the ground.

The main body of this formation is a triangle and a circle, which are densely covered with complex patterns, much more complex than those of the strange sense ceremony, Meng Xuan took about fifteen minutes to finish drawing, after comparison, it is complete.

Afterwards, Meng Xuan took out the small stove and placed it in the center of the ritual formation, placed the purple Bora wood block under it, and put a small pot on the stove.

Adding the appropriate amount of water and the remaining ox blood, and setting the purple brahlo wood on fire, Meng Xuan took out a kitchen knife and a cutting board, brought a pair of kitchen gloves, and began to process the remaining ingredients.

Herner's snake gall bladder, bat teeth, and dried maggots have all been dealt with, just throw them directly into the pot.

The poor black swan was also slaughtered by Meng Xuan last night and dug out the liver, and the body was directly burned and buried, at this time Meng Xuan took out the black swan liver held in a plastic bag, chopped it with a kitchen knife on the cutting board and threw it into the pot according to the requirements of the ceremony.

Then there was the part of the white gully hamster and the arrow frog of Toth, after Meng Xuan suffocated the two poor little guys to death, he brought the corpses to the scene, carefully took out the part needed for the ceremony, and threw it into the pot.

The purple brahmana wood, which was originally a spice, emitted a burst of strange fragrance after it was burned, which made Meng Xuan have the same sense of trance and unreality as he had in the last ceremony.

"Did it have some kind of hypnotic effect?"

Meng Xuan thought with some uncertainty, he also had some guesses about the content of the ritual, such as the ritual often uses wood with a certain fragrance as fuel, and the ritual often contains steps that require staring at the formation pattern and making moving observations.

Meng Xuan suspected that there should be some hypnotic principle in it, and the strange phenomena he saw in his trance were probably caused by this hypnotic principle.

But there's another possibility.

Perhaps only by entering this trance state of waking up but not waking up, as if sleeping but not sleeping, can we perceive these terrifying strange phenomena, which are real, exist around us, and overlap with our world.

Meng Xuan once heard a saying that many mysteries are actually all around us, but the human perceptual system cannot detect it, if we can adjust the frequency of the perceptual system and fit in with that mysterious world, we will be able to see the truth of the world.

Meng Xuan suspected that the Nelson had mastered a similar technique, so they were able to perceive the world in the mirror and even enter it.

Perhaps, the world in the mirror is all around him.

Gollum Purr...

The liquid in the small pot began to boil, and Meng Xuan, who was in a trance, actually felt that the taste was not bad, a little like stewed pork ribs.

He felt that the time was almost up, so he lit three red candles, placed them on the triangle of the formation, and disinfected the knife with the candle flame, stood up with the knife, stared at the formation, and slowly walked around the formation pattern for half a circle to the left, half a circle to the right, and repeated three times.

That sense of trance became stronger and stronger, and there were even overlapping ghosts in front of Meng Xuan's eyes, and the real world seemed to have undergone some kind of abnormality, overlapping with the unknown realm.

Meng Xuan sat down, scratched his fingers, dripped blood into the pot, and recited the initiation of the ceremony from the ancient sound:

“NI！ ZI！ WO！ SHI！ NI！ BA!”

The liquid in the pot begins to boil violently.

According to the requirements of the ceremony, Meng Xuan directly picked up the pot at this moment and drank the boiling liquid in the pot.

The liquid entered his stomach without any hot feeling, but Meng Xuan felt a biting cold.

Quiescence.

It was as if the whole world had frozen.

Suddenly, his body began to slump, his legs began to tremble, and he felt a tremendous pressure.

From his back, there was an extremely cold sensation.

He subconsciously looked towards the broken window of the room, and his body was faintly reflected on the glass fragments.

What creeps him out is that it's not just his body, but also a monstrous monster crawling behind him.

It has a distorted face, one of its eyeballs is out of its socket and hangs on its face, its body is made of red, yellow, blue, and green internal organs, constantly beating, twisting, and struggling, as if trying to break away from its body.

The monster's face was filled with hideous and twisted pain, and the desire to abhor and destroy everything.

"I'll give you strength······"

"You carry my pain······"

"Help me..."

"Save Me !!"

"Save Me !!!!!"

“······”

The monster's hysterical whispers filled Meng Xuan's mind, he was already in a trance because of the ritual, he felt that the reason in his brain was rapidly draining, and through the reflection of the glass, he vaguely saw dense black lines spreading out of the monster's mouth, inserting them into his body from his facial features.

His body was getting colder and colder, he seemed to be frozen, his movements became extremely slow, and gradually, even twitching his fingers was very difficult.

He saw the formation carved by blood on the ground constantly rotating and reorganizing, binding the monster behind him like a chain, but the monster seemed to be more powerful than he imagined, and the ritual formation could not completely restrain its movements.

More and more black lines spread into Meng Xuan's body.

But perhaps because of the restraint of the ritual formation, Meng Xuan regained some of his mobility.

Amid the frantic whispers of the monster, Meng Xuan struggled to stay awake, controlling his almost frozen body as he carried out the last step of the ritual.

Step over the burning fire!!
