Chapter 124: "Divination Ceremony" (I wish you all a healthy and happy new year)
In response to Franca's request, Napole Disley shook his head slightly, "You can ask for the witness of the gods you believe in when you sign the contract, but I don't want anyone else to be present."
Speaking of this, Napolitisley laughed, "I am a devil and need to be careful so as not to fall prey to others."
Can you recite God's name as a witness when you sign a contract? Whether it's Franka or Lumian, this moment is a little moved.
If they are ordinary extraordinary beings, believing in the "eternal sun" or the "god of steam and machines", then simply reciting the name of the god to witness the contract will not have a substantial effect, but more psychological comfort, after all, in the absence of rituals, the true gods rarely turn their eyes to reality, to ordinary extraordinary, to such trivial things.
However, Lumien and Franca, as the little Arcana cards of the "Tarot Society", follow the great being of Mr. "Fool", and even if they just recite his name, they will gain a certain amount of attention.
Franka wondered if she should make such a deal with the devil under the watchful eye of Mr. "Fool" in exchange for benefits that she would not normally obtain.
"It's a fair deal, there's no coercion, it's true for you, it's true for me, and if you insist that there must be a strong witness on the spot, then I choose to give up."
Lumian was about to say that maybe he could try it, when the magnificent cascading voice of Termipolos suddenly sounded in his ears: "You'd better not agree, not even a verbal false promise."
Lumien was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the fateful angel of Themipolos would remind him of this matter.
He was so startled that he couldn't think about what Termi Bolos was thinking, and first filtered through his mind every move after Napoli Disli appeared and the changes in his own state of mind.
The more Lumian thought about it, the more frightened he became, because he and Franka initially planned to "teleport" away immediately, looking for helpers, and then it turned into listening to what Napole Disley wanted to say and see if there was anything to use, and then it slowly developed to the point that maybe a deal could be considered, but there must be a powerful "arbiter" witness of the "Lady of Trial", and now, in order to make a deal, even the witnesses can be dispensed without, just hoping to ensure their own safety by chanting the name of the god.
Step by step, little by little...... This is very similar to what Napoli Disley said before, step by step, the soul slowly decays, and finally falls into the abyss...... It also says that the devil is not only a physical devil but also a spiritual devil...... Lumian quickly came to his senses, feeling that he and Franca might have unwittingly suffered from the influence of Napole Disley, which was closer to the guidance of the "audience", and could also be found through the Antonine method of self-examination.
Seeing that Franca could barely control her heart in this state, she looked sideways at herself, seeking consistency in pace, Lumian's thoughts turned, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and said to Napoledisley: "You can do without witnesses, but I must confirm one thing first."
"What's the matter?" Napoli Desley had a cold temperament, but his attitude was quite peaceful.
Lumian nodded at Franca, motioning for the rest to be handed over to him.
Franka gave a silent "um" to indicate that there was no problem.
Lumian immediately said to Napole Disley, "I need to make sure that the name you are using now, the name that will be used in the contract later, is your real name."
He deliberately did not pronounce the term "Napole Disley" in order to avoid possible risks.
Napole Disley looked thoughtful, and after a few seconds said, "Yes."
"As a devil, I don't like but appreciate your caution."
Lumian kept the corners of his mouth slightly hooked: "The way to confirm it is 'Magic Mirror Divination', the complete 'Magic Mirror Divination', we will arrange a ritual to seek answers from a hidden being."
"You know, my friend is a 'witch' and she's good at that."
As he spoke, Lumian pointed at Franca.
Really....... It is indeed necessary to confirm that "Napolis Disley" is the real name of the devil, otherwise the deal will be a joke....... Franka is a little wary, feeling that she was too eager to make a deal just now, and she has ignored a lot of details that may be problematic.
Napolitisley thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but I must be within the 'spiritual wall' where the ritual is held.
"This is the devil's caution, and we are worried that you will use the opportunity of the 'Magic Mirror Divination' to report the situation to some of the devil's natural enemies."
"No problem." Lumian said with a bright smile, "In order to complete the 'Magic Mirror Divination', I want you to write your real name on this sticky note paper, and then bring the ancient notes from the opposite room to use them as a medium for divination." ”
Napoli Disley knew enough about the complete "Magic Mirror Divination" and responded with a smile, "No problem."
He stood up, left his seat, took the note from Lumian's hand, and wrote down the complex words that sounded "Napole Disley" with the water-absorbing pen that Flores had with him, but to which language he did not know.
Then, the self-proclaimed demonic creature walked back to Flores' rented apartment and took the ancient notebook along with the note.
Lumian had set up the ceremony briefly, placing three candles and a mirror on the table where nothing had been placed.
Before Napolitisley returned, Franca approached him and asked in a whisper, "How many of the usual 'Magic Mirror Divination' objects?"
Lumian shook his head, indicating no, and then gently spat out a word: "He."
Purely masculine personal pronouns.
Franca's pupils dilated suddenly, and she understood who Lumian was referring to.
What this means is self-explanatory!
When Napolis Disley handed him the ancient notebook, Franca smiled happily: "The devil is supposed to be a higher divine being, I certainly dare not be negligent, I intend to ask a special being for an answer, the ritual will inevitably require the assistance of my companions, I hope you can understand some of the things that will be seen next, if you don't want to, then we will give up this transaction."
She didn't say it too firmly, making the "walk away deal" option look more like a negotiation tactic.
Napoli Disley laughed, "No problem, I've seen too many special rituals."
What he meant was that if there was a problem with your ritual, I would be able to see it immediately.
Franka sanctified the ceremonial silver dagger to create a "spiritual wall", while Lumian placed ancient notes and sticky notes with his real name in front of the lit candles and mirrors, and used a small amount of spiritual Gardner. Martin Blood depicts several intricate and bizarre symbols.
Napoli Disley was several meters away, looked at the symbols, and whispered, "Seek the guidance of fate...... Question the existence of this field?"
Lumian took the opportunity to turn around and asked, "What can be done to relieve Sara's infatuation with Flores?"
Napoli Desley smiled meaningfully, "Either they both die, or get my consent."
After completing the pre-ceremony preparations, Franka took two steps back, looked at the three burning candles, looked at the palm-sized vanity mirror, and recited the honorific name in the ancient Hermetian language: "Fool who does not belong to this age....."
After hearing this description, Napoledisley's expression changed instantly.
His face suddenly turned gloomy and cold, and his eyes revealed undisguised coldness and cruelty.
His eyes were about to reflect the figures of Lumian and Franca, detonating their desires and emotions, only to find that a thin gray mist filled the surroundings, making it difficult to lock the two targets.
Lumian gripped Franca's forearm.
This in the occult represents that the two people in the ritual are one.
Provided, of course, that the original celebrant does not resist.
Lumian took the position of the celebrant and read out the next two descriptions: "The mysterious lord above the gray mist, the king of yellow and black who rules good fortune....."
The gray mist surged more obviously, and Napoli, who controlled Flores's body, became more and more eerie.
He tried to break out of the altar and break through the "spiritual wall", but was blocked by the gray mist.
Lumian took two steps forward, brought the note with his real name written on it to the candle representing the celebrant of the ceremony, lit it, shook it three times, and sprinkled the ashes on the ancient notebook.
After making these arrangements, Lumian said in a deep voice, "I pray for your help;"
"I pray that you will drive away the creature named Napoli Disley......"
Napoli Disley, who controlled Flores' body, opened his mouth and let out a high-pitched whistling.
At the same time, Lumien and Franca's ears echoed with a murmur of filth, depravity, and evil, each word that seemed to damage their minds, transform their bodies, and corrupt their souls.
But under the protection of the celebrant of the ceremony, under the layers of gray mist, the words seemed to come from the horizon, and even if Lumian and Franca listened attentively, they could not hear the specific content.
In the faint scream, a pitch-black gas came out of Flores's body, and it quickly faded.
The dark surface of the gas stood out from the faces of the people, their mouths constantly opening and closing, cursing Lumian and Franca frantically, but eventually they dissolved inexorably into the gray mist.
In a matter of seconds, the pitch-black gas disappeared completely, and Flores's face and temperament returned to normal.
"Exorcism"!
A few days later, Lumian once again used the "Exorcism Technique"!
In his opinion, there is no essential difference between Napoli Disley, who quietly infiltrates the breath to control Flores, and the resentful spirits that possess others.
What surprised him the most was that the name Napoli Disley worked!
Of course, if this is not the other person's real name, if the "exorcism" does not work for Napoli Disley, after pronouncing the full name of Mr. "Fool", Lumian can also use the gray mist to intimidate the devil and scare it away with the gaze of the great being.
This time, it was not the "Fool" Mr. Seal on his chest that responded to him, it was directly the great being!
Lumian forced a smile and said to Franca, "This guy is not as good as the invisible divine son of the 'Great Mother'."
Although Napole Disley's crazy curse before his "departure" still affected his desires and emotions, making him have to rely on the ability of an "ascetic" to endure it, it was still not as good as the invisible divine son who could partially penetrate the gray fog to protect the celebrant of the ceremony, and directly create the effect of "spiritual piercing" again and again.
Franka didn't answer, instead staring straight at the vanity mirror that served as an ornament.
Inside the mirror, a thin mist filled the air, and a faint figure came from a distance.
