48. Initiation rituals

The upper seven floors and the lower seven floors of Tower Nine have always been closed to casual entry, which is very mysterious and often attracts a lot of discussion among the executors.

From what Lloyd overheard, some people thought that these areas were treasure troves of monster organs, full of the smell of preservatives; Others thought it must be a gruesome bloody dungeon, full of bones and broken limbs.

Probably no one would have thought that the seven floors above ground would be arranged like a luxury hotel......

On the left and right walls, gilded candlesticks and landscape paintings are hung, and various decorations such as green plants and vases are symmetrically placed on the ground, and the soft red carpet is stepped on, which looks magnificent, comfortable and comfortable.

There aren't many rooms here, but each one is elegant, spacious, bright, well-equipped, and has a large fluffy bed that is big enough for three people to roll around.

Lloyd couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"How could I have to complete [enlightenment] in such a place? Wouldn't it be a little too extravagant? ”

Wei Ya shook her head and explained:

"Every [detachment] is not an easy task, especially the first time you are facing now, and it is blocking the threshold of I don't know how many people, so Your Excellency the Judge believes that in this favorable environment, it will help you relax and improve the success rate."

As she spoke, she led Lloyd into the room, motioned for him to sit down on the couch, and continued:

"There are drinks and food in the cupboard that you can take as much as you like, but I would advise against drinking too much alcohol."

As she spoke, she lit a pot of incense in the corner of the room, then fiddled with a nearby vinyl record player to let out a soothing melody, then tore off several seals on the floor and wall, revealing the pattern underneath.

These are all part of the Enlightenment Ritual.

Lloyd just watched her busy around the room, her legs in black silk boots shuttling back and forth in front of her eyes, and she felt that the atmosphere had become strange, and her heart was a little strangely itchy, and her mind wanted to think about it.

Thankfully, he shook his head vigorously and threw out the inappropriate thoughts.

As a result, the tension that lingered in his heart was also eliminated a lot.

It didn't take long for Wei Ya to push a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror to Lloyd, so that his figure was reflected in the mirror, then lit two incense candles, placed them on the left and right of the mirror, and finally took out a pair of music boxes, tightened the clockwork, and placed them behind the mirror.

The music box emits a soft 'clanging' sound, which does not form some kind of melody, as if it is broken.

"You should have read the notes of His Excellency the Presiding Judge, and I don't need to remind you of the relevant precautions, so you don't have to worry that your privacy will be leaked, and even the Sage will not be able to spy on the process of this ritual......

So, I'll go first, and may the bright light bring you good luck. ”

Wei Ya said, giving Lloyd an encouraging look, and then left the room, locking him inside.

"Whew...... Let's go. ”

Lloyd let out a long sigh of relief, rubbed his face vigorously, and then looked up at the floor-to-ceiling mirror in front of him, listening carefully to the strange melody of the music box.

The first detachment of the veto system requires the vetoing of one's past self under the influence of a particular sadhana in order to complete the initial enlightenment

It sounds mysterious, but the specific operation is actually very simple, that is, in this room, complete the cutting with a 'past self'.

You can be a 'lazy self', you can be a 'proud self', and of course you can choose an 'excellent self' or a 'happy self'.

It's not that you forget the relevant memories, but it's more like a heart-wash, changing the past, or self-reflection, so as to complete the first [otherworldly]

The difficulty lies in the fact that it is not enough to say such beautiful things as "never be lazy again", "next time", and "never change", but to carry out a thorough [veto] in the depths of consciousness.

Of course, [vetoing] losing the 'self that touches the fish' does not necessarily mean that you can become the 'diligent self'......

Given the nature of human beings, the presiding judge advised in his notes not to set generalistic or unrealistic goals.

For example, 'mediocre self' and 'poor self', this is certainly not a problem that can be solved by a single enlightenment, and aiming for such a self is doomed to failure.

It is best to choose a smaller goal and be more pragmatic, so as to increase the success rate.

So Lloyd thought about it last night, which 'self' he wanted to cut with.

Accompanied by the strange melody of the music box, he felt that his consciousness began to blur a little, and some unbearable memories of the past came to his mind one by one, and began to give him intensity.

The floor-to-ceiling mirror in front of him, with the swaying of the candles on both sides, the figure reflected also began to change vaguely, gradually switching to a strange first-person perspective, as if entering another person's body.

People in this world may feel nervous and uncomfortable with this scene in 3D, but Lloyd is very familiar and nostalgic, he often entered this perspective at the beginning, practicing human body strokes in places like desert maze and purgatory town.

It's just that what is reflected in the mirror is not the birth points he is familiar with, but ......

His wife?

Then, a canine bark rang in his ears:

"Yikes! Good! I'm shipped! I'm shipped! ”

And then there was another screech of seals:

"How do you know that I shipped in a ten-in-a-row?"

The picture turned again, and I heard a speech that made people bow their heads:

"Hey, hey, hey~ My wife looks so good when she draws a knife! prpr! ”

Lloyd in reality saw this scene, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he felt the joy from the heart.

But in the next second, the style of painting suddenly changed, and the person in the mirror looked at the little remaining bank card balance and was making a difficulty.

"Damn! The ship is sunk, now I can only krypton, and I must not let my wife stay in the cold card pool! ”

"Alas...... I can only eat instant noodles again this month......"

"Damn, the little guarantee is crooked again, no matter, for the sake of the new wife, Krypton!"

"My money hasn't disappeared, it's just that I have a new wife who continues to accompany me."

Lloyd looked at this familiar scene, looked at the familiar self, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

That's what he wants to veto.

Although these memories are somewhat unbearable, he did not run away, but continued to watch, and his mood was quite stable.

Until the scene in the mirror changes here, the self in the mirror is editing text messages with his mobile phone:

"Mom, I don't have any money to use......"

Lloyd's eyes suddenly soured, as if they had been nailed.
