After three days of recuperation, Varina's body finally recovered.

In the past few days, he has found that Qi Li has indeed changed a lot.

For example, she no longer deliberately gets close to herself, no longer uses the "heartbeat" curse, and even deliberately avoids her "spitting truth" state after taking the drug......

All the details add up, and Varina comes to a strange conclusion -

"She seems to want to be my equals and be true friends?"

Whether this conclusion is correct or not, it is true that Varina has been doing better these days.

If she still launched a fierce offensive like the other day, he was injured again and couldn't avoid it, I'm afraid he would really have to experience Russell's famous sentence "The taste of witches is really good".

Qili's performance strengthened Varina's resolve to find a gentle solution.

December 31, evening.

Varina and Qili were in the empty room, enjoying together a deluxe version of the New Year's set meal they had ordered from the restaurant.

After a few glasses of Dixie Champagne, Qili's face turned unusually rosy - but I haven't seen it much in the past few days - I don't know how much alcohol played a role in it.

During the meal, Varina rarely remembered his uncle's family.

A few years ago, he welcomed the New Year with his uncle's family.

Once, Varina thought that this situation would continue until he got married and started a family, but he did not expect that he would "die young" so soon.

I wonder if they'll think of me at this time?

No sooner had the thought crossed Varina's mind than Cherie reached for her glass and touched it.

"It's not polite to wander away when you're dining with a lady."

Alas...... Although she is a witch, she is not alone for the New Year.

Better than next year's Klein.

Varina clinked her glass back and smiled, "Cheers." ”

……

After the meal, Varina's room.

Like a repeat of the last scene, Qili handed him a note with a handwritten recipe and took the various ingredients out of the bag.

There are two differences.

One is that the script for writing the recipe has been changed from Rune to Old Hermes; The other is that there are no beakers or measuring cylinders in the bag.

Varina took the recipe in her hand after digging through the utensils she had used last time.

"Sequence 8: The Instigator"

"Main material: a pair of pointed beaks of the nightingale, the complete brain of the shadow lizard."

"Auxiliary materials: 100 ml of pure water, 7 drops of violet juice, 10 ml of psychedelic essential oil, 17 drops of black mandala juice."

With the experience of concocting potions on his own last time, and the addition of the Assassin's ability to control his body, Varina confidently began to configure the potions he needed for the second time.

Pure water is the condensate he prepared by boiling water in a coal stove a few days ago.

Varina took 100 milliliters from a graduated cylinder and poured it into a beaker, then added the auxiliary materials one by one, and obtained a cup of pitch-black liquid, which looked very similar to the ink he had used earlier at the Silen textile factory.

Of course, just looking at it looks like it, and it smells far worse.

The glass of black water had an unpleasant, but indescribably strange smell, worse than the smell of the sewers.

Varina held her breath and joined in the long black beak and then the gray-white animal brain.

The two main potions dissolved into the black water in the beaker, and the "Instigator" potion was ready.

It takes on a black and white color, forming swirling lines in the beaker.

To be on the safe side, Varina still looked at Qili first.

No problem.

Then there was no need to hesitate, Varina picked up the beaker and poured the potion into his mouth with the guess of "will he awaken new abilities again".

It was completely different from the last painful experience.

This time, Varina felt like she had drunk a glass of honey, soft in her mouth and fragrant on her lips.

As the potion dissolved in his body, he felt the parts of his body from his chest upwards to become hot and cold, especially in his head and throat.

The feeling quickly dissipated on its own, and Varina felt a little irritated once more—a small spillover of spirituality, slightly uncontrolled.

"Go into meditation and gather spirituality." Qi Li reminded loudly.

Varina knew what to do and quickly went into a meditative state.

Unlike his usual meditation, he once again felt his vision be raised, returning to the quiet void that was slightly shattered.

Once again, a sense of sublimation of body and mind reappeared.

His spirituality stretched out little by little, inch by inch, and Varina quietly looked down at it, felt it, and restrained it.

Qili watched from the sidelines and noticed that Varina was quickly in a meditative state, a smile on the corner of her mouth.

A few minutes later, she noticed that Varina still hadn't finished the step of restraining her spirit, and her brow furrowed slightly.

After a few more minutes, Varina breathed a sigh of relief and opened her eyes.

He is already an "instigator".

"Stay the way you are," Qi Li said in a soft voice, "and I'll guide you to turn on your vision." ”

"Raise your hands and place them in front of your eyes, with your index fingers facing each other, but don't touch."

Varina quickly complied.

"Keep your eyes on the back of your hands, which must be behind you, and then move your fingers slowly, keeping them relative and not touching, and don't let them out of sight."

Varina continued to do so, landing her gaze on the void behind her palm, allowing her two index fingers, which had not yet touched, to move slowly within her line of sight.

Once, twice, three times...... The change suddenly appears during a certain movement.

He saw a little more fiery red between his fingers.

Qili saw Varina's movements change, and understood that he had seen the color of his aura.

"Your current state is rudimentary vision," Qi Li reminded softly, "The color you see is the outward symbol of the 'etheric body'. ”

In order to stabilize the initial state of vision, Varina nodded very slightly, counting as a response.

"You can try to look away and look elsewhere."

In the process of shifting his gaze, Varina still needed the cooperation of his palm at first, and after becoming more proficient, he put down his palm and still stabilized the state of spiritual vision.

He looked at himself first, and found that it was indeed as described in the original book, and the aura color of all parts of his body was different.

Then he looked at Qili again.

Her "etheric body" aura is slightly thicker than her own, which is also in line with her physical condition that has not fully recovered.

As for the other objects in the room, none of them emitted any brilliance, which means that they do not contain spirituality.

"Okay, don't last too long for the first vision, I'll teach you how to turn off your vision now."

After leaving Varina a little time to familiarize, Qili whispered again.

"Imagine the object as before, stop paying attention, then switch to a meditative state, close your eyes, control the spirit, and repeatedly tell it to stop, and you can end the spiritual state."

Varina soon tried to succeed.

In the end, Qili also tells him to imply that he has repeatedly influenced his spirit to set the "switch" of spiritual vision, as Neil Sr. taught Klein in the original book.

It took some time for Varina to set the switch action to the action he had already thought of—

With the cooperation of the tongue, 2 bumps on the left tooth represent "open", and 2 bumps on the right tooth represent "off".

It's discreet, it's convenient, it's perfect.
