Chapter 420: The Road to the Blazing Sun
Chalfi closed the door to the study and locked it from the inside.
Then he pushed the desk and chair into the corner, rolled up the heavy carpet again, and erected it in the corner.
Before that, he had moved the space-taking household belongings such as bookshelves and some decorations to the living room.
With this done, Chalfi walked over to the desk, on which were three things, a brown metal jug, a clear gemstone, and a folded piece of paper.
Chalfi spreads out the paper, on which are strange drawings, and in the middle of the intricate circles is a very abstract balance diagram with three pallets.
The three stairs connect the trays together, and the stairs look equally odd, forming a circle that can't be distinguished from up and down, like the "Penrose Steps".
Chalfi lifted the metal jug and tilted it slightly, a light green liquid slowly flowing out of the spout, which looked extremely viscous, and there seemed to be some powdery glitter particles in it.
Chalfey walked cautiously back and forth around the room, the light green slime drawing a diagram on the floor on paper, as if it were a delicate project, and it took Chalfe more than two hours to complete.
When he was done, he put the drawings and jug back on the table, opened the drawer of his desk, and took out a small box that looked like an antiquity—something that was very much in keeping with his status as a researcher of history.
The small box was opened with the key, and inside lay a small glass bottle containing a pinkish-gray lump that made people feel uncomfortable at first sight.
It's like a human brain.
Chalfi picked up the vial, but there was some fascination in his eyes.
After admiring it for a while, he took the bottle and the gems on the table, came to the center of the drawing, put the gems on the tray above, poured out the powder and ash lumps in the bottle and put them on the left tray, and finally stood on the right tray with an excited face.
"I'm going to recreate the path of the blazing sun!"
Before Professor Yin Sen was killed that day, out of curiosity, the two of them were walking around the campus while Chalfey asked Yin Sen what the so-called revelation was, and received an explanation that he could not understand and thought was a theological thought.
The latter two separated, and then Professor Yin Sen was killed.
In fact, before parting, the two had more discussions on this issue.
Professor Yin Sen told him that the Blazing Sun Road was a path to a higher level, but its end was blocked, approaching the "sun", but it could never be reached.
Yin Sen said that when he was young, in the process of studying this history, he was also shocked by this cruel and powerful spell, and even moved his heart, but in the end he still suppressed the demon in his heart, but he still tried to discuss the improvement method with one of his friends who is an expert in alchemy.
"The First Evolution"
As a result, they found that no matter how much they improved, there was one thing that could not be avoided.
The basis of this ritual is that one of them must die and the one who survives becomes a better being.
So even if they improved to the point where they didn't need blood cannibalism, they still sealed it.
After listening to Professor Yin Sen that day, Chalfi was also a little moved.
He didn't know what the so-called "sun" was, and in his opinion, if he could evolve into a higher quality, this spell could be called the level of rebellion.
As for the sacrificers, as long as they are not blood relatives, there are so many damned people in this world, why can't they be used.
Therefore, after being taken away by Professor Yin Sen that day, Charfi, who had been worried about it in his heart, went back and forth not long after, wanting to know more about the Blazing Sun Path, and then ran into the armored monster and killed Yin Sen.
At that time, he was so frightened that he ran away, but then returned to the scene uncontrollably, forcibly searched Professor Yin Sen's body with disgust, and finally even took away a small piece of Professor Yin Sen's brain.
After struggling between fear and impulsiveness for a few days, he finally came up with a decision, and by investigating Professor Yin Sen's network, he locked up the "alchemy expert friend" and anonymously threatened him.
He said that he knew that they had the complete ritual of the Blazing Sun Path in their hands, and that they had also studied and improved it, and if they didn't tell themselves the results of the research, they would make this matter public, and there would be more people eyeing him at that time.
And then Chalfi got it!
He didn't expect it to be so simple, he guessed that the other party might have used this ritual, so he was afraid of being exposed.
Because he found that the ritual given by the other party was a step further than what Professor Yin Sen said, and one of the two competing parties in the ritual did not even need to be a complete living person, but the effect was worse, and it also needed the assistance of other materials.
The upside is that the dominant player will most likely not lose.
A big living person will not lose a piece of meat to others.
This improved path of the blazing sun made Chalfi even more sure that since the alchemist was secretly studying behind Professor Yin Sen's back, he must have used it.
In this way, he will have no burden on his heart.
Professor Yin Sen's brain fragment was just enough to be used as his ritual opponent.
......
Standing in the middle of the ceremony, Chalfi muttered a spell and activated the path of the blazing sun.
The tray drawn underneath his feet, the glittering particles in the green slime began to glow intensely, as if there really was a golden tray carrying Chalfi.
The same is true for the other two pallets.
And on the drawing map, the staircase between the connecting trays also seemed to be transformed into substance, appearing in front of Chalfi. At the end of the stairs, the tray that used to hold transparent gems was now holding a blazing sun that radiated dazzling light.
"Is this the path of the blazing sun?"
Chalfey stepped his foot onto the staircase, but he almost fell off his balance, and the staircase gave him a strange sense, and he couldn't tell whether his foot was going up or down.
"It doesn't matter, my opponent is ......"
Chalfi turned his head to look at the tray on the other side, and the sight he saw made him feel horrified. The small gray brain, as if it had come to life, was slowly squirming along the stairs, and its vision seemed to have been deceived, and it was also unknown whether it was on or on.
"It's okay, it's slow, there's no way I can lose to a rotten brain!"
Although he comforted himself so much, Chalfi couldn't help but speed up his feet and crawled desperately.
Occasionally, he turned his head to look at the progress of the pink and gray brain, but this ladder did not know whether it was up or down, it was endless, and he couldn't even tell who was up and down between himself and that brain.
Chalfi's head was already sweating.
"No, no! It's just a piece of brain, a piece of rotten meat! I'm definitely ahead of it now. ”
Chalfi increased his speed again—in his own perception, and he pushed harder.
I don't know how long it took to climb, but Chalfi was already out of breath, but he didn't dare to stop.
Climb a little longer and win! Climb a little longer and win!
Almost every step he takes, Chalfi says something to himself in his heart.
"Climb ...... again"
Suddenly, Chalfi's feet were empty, he didn't step on anything, and the stairs in front of him disappeared at some point.
Chalfi fell backwards and began to fall unsupported by the steps, and he saw that above his head, a small shadow was attached to the blazing sun.
He finally could tell the difference between the top and the bottom.
