Chapter 27: Hammer into the Soul
Realizing that the materials arranged by You Hong were about to arrive, Ji Xiu gave up the idea of going to the vegetable market.
The electronic synthesized voice on the phone should be the robot dad You Hong mentioned in the chat software.
According to You Hong's explanation, Daddy was originally a fighter of the Saints Group, but he did not choose to retire when he was about to die, but took the initiative to apply to participate in the "Consciousness Transfer Program".
The project comes from the analysis of a prehistoric site, initiated by the Prehistoric Research Institute in Starlight City.
There were more than 100 people involved in this project, but in the end, only Daddy completed the consciousness transfer, and the rest died violently for some unknown reason.
That's why the fighters of the Saints group respectfully call this old-timer "Daddy".
You Hong also said that if you receive a call from your father, you should have a correct attitude and don't really treat your father as a robot.
When Ji Xiu returned to the dream apartment, he found a Saints driverless truck parked in front of the building.
According to the process that his father said on the phone, Ji Xiu came to the truck door and stood still, and put his palm on the fingerprint lock on the truck door.
"Verification failed!"
Hearing the word verification failure, Ji Xiu suddenly remembered that although Li Tan had left fingerprint information in Yu Jingguo's database, he had already erased all the fingerprints after becoming a killer.
He had no choice but to call back his father's phone and ask if there was any other way to unlock the lock.
As soon as the phone was connected, he started the electronic synthesized speaker:
"Numeric password: 786......."
Before Ji Xiu could ask, Dad had already reported a 12-digit numeric password.
Ji Xiu subconsciously looked up at the top of the truck, only to see that a pinhole camera was installed above the truck, and if it wasn't for careful observation, it wouldn't be able to find it at all.
It can be seen that Dad is viewing the monitoring screen in real time.
Follow the prompts to slide down the fingerprint unlock screen, switch to the password input interface, and he will enter the 12-digit password given by his father.
The door of the unmanned truck slowly opened, revealing the metal box placed inside.
After Ji Xiu lifted the metal box, the door closed automatically, and the engine of the unmanned truck started and drove towards the end of the street.
Back in the living room of the apartment, Ji Xiu placed the metal box on the coffee table and pressed the metal button on it.
Suddenly, the upper lid of the metal box slowly opened, and white ice mist overflowed from the inside.
There are eight types of documents submitted for this application.
They are energy crystals, spirit pattern powder, prayer candles, and so on.
Among them, the candle is a very precious material used in the worship of the gods in the kingdom of Yujing, and it is said that candles made of this material can be lit to bring people closer to the gods, and even hear the whispers of the gods.
There are only three mines in the country that can produce this material, so it is regulated and basically out of reach of ordinary people.
It is mainly used by the resident priests of the Yujing Church, the Prehistoric Research Institute, and the Saints' Group.
After taking out the materials and counting them, Ji Xiu, who had confirmed that they were correct, came to the living room and decided to try to set up the sacrificial ritual in the way of Han Yun and try to enter the fog realm space.
If you're lucky, you might be able to return to Earth directly.
But Ji Xiu felt that the probability was not high.
After previous analysis, it is believed that he is very in line with the protagonist template, according to the development of the plot in the novel, it should be the initial stage of the plot just unfolding, and it is impossible to fast forward to the finale before entering a different world, so that he can return to the days of lying flat and collecting rent.
This does not conform to the logic of the plot development that the protagonist should have...... Unless it's a eunuch novel.
took out his mobile phone, clicked on Han Yun's case record in the Saints APP, and scrolled down to the evidence picture page.
The pictures of the sacrifice ceremony taken had detailed labels and placement instructions for each material, and Ji Xiu began to get busy according to the instructions above.
First, he placed 12 thumb-sized hedrons on the floor of the living room in a symmetrical diamond shape.
Then take the position of each spar as a node, sprinkle the spirit pattern powder, and constantly adjust the position during the period to achieve a symmetrical effect, for which he also turned out a ruler from the utility room, and tried to reproduce the sacrificial ceremony placed by Han Yun.
In the next link, Ji Xiu brought a fruit knife and rice bowl from the kitchen.
The sacrificial formation that Han Yun laid out needed to use his own blood as a guide and mix the spirit pattern powder as the pattern to outline the sacrificial formation.
Frowning and reluctantly cutting a wound on his right index finger, he grabbed the tip of his right index finger with his left hand and began to squeeze it.
But after a few drops of blood, the index finger no longer bleeds.
Since the blood supply to the fingers is not very sufficient, it only pierces through the dermis, and the amount of blood flowing out of the capillaries is very small, which is not enough to depict the sacrificial formation.
This made Ji Xiu subconsciously glance at his wrist.
"I can't help it!"
Thinking that Han Yun had played himself to death in this way, Ji Xiu decisively gave up this stupid way of collecting blood.
If you don't understand the play and stop the bleeding in time, the ritual will become a self-sacrifice.
Standing up, he decided to go to a pharmacy near his home to buy a vacuum blood collection tube to draw blood from a vein in his arm to get the blood needed to depict the sacrificial ritual.
Half an hour later, Ji Xiu returned to the living room with a plastic bag.
Placing the vacuum blood collection tube, needle, hemostatic cotton, and disinfectant similar to iodophor on the ground, Ji Xiu began to pat his right arm, looking for a vein to draw blood.
He was not professional in this regard, and he poked the vein several times without poking the middle vein, but he grinned in pain.
Eventually, he was able to stab the vein and then insert the hose into the bottom of the vacuum blood collection tube, where the dark red viscous liquid was extracted through the needle.
After pumping 500CC in a row and replacing several blood collection tubes, Ji Xiu stopped.
It was not clear whether this blood was enough to depict the formation Ji Xiu, but he knew that if he continued to pump like this, his lifespan would definitely not be able to withstand it.
"Save it."
After pouring the blood and spirit pattern powder into the bowl and stirring and mixing, you can see that there are inconspicuous crystalline substances flowing in the dark red blood.
Picking up the phone and looking at the sacrificial formation again, Ji Xiu began to smear on the ground.
In order not to waste blood, Ji Xiu was very cautious in every step, he didn't want to prick himself a few more stitches because the blood was not enough.
After hours of busyness, the prototype of the formation was completed, and the blood collected was exhausted.
Ji Xiu stood up, and the dizziness caused by the excessive flow of blood made him almost unable to stand on his feet.
After picking up the mobile phone and comparing the sacrificial formation under his feet, Ji Xiu took the blue "prayer candle" from the coffee table, placed it symmetrically next to the energy crystal, and lit it.
When it was done, Ji Xiu came to the center of the formation on tiptoe and sat down cross-legged.
Judging from the successful experience last time, he only needs to drop blood in the center of the ritual, and his consciousness will be sent to the fog realm.
Ji Xiu solemnly raised his right hand and swiped his scabbed index finger with a fruit knife, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
With a drop of blood slipping from his fingertips, Ji Xiu closed his eyes.
"Fog Realm, listen to my call, get out!"
……
More than ten seconds later, Ji Xiu opened his eyes.
The imaginary feeling of weightlessness and spatial distortion did not appear, and he still maintained the posture of raising his right hand and sat in the center of the formation, and did not turn into a thin consciousness body into the fog space.
It made him feel bad.
If Li Tan's body could not initiate the sacrificial ceremony, then every time his wish power strengthened in the future, he would have to return to the original point and use Han Yun's body to initiate the sacrificial ceremony.
Ji Xiu stood up at this time, walked out of the sacrificial formation on tiptoe, took out his mobile phone and began to carefully compare the photos.
There may be a possibility that there is a discrepancy between the sacrificial formation he arranged and the sacrificial formation arranged by Han Yun, resulting in the sacrificial formation not being activated.
So Ji Xiu lay on the ground and carefully compared, trying to find out the details and mistakes that he hadn't noticed.
But after comparing it from beginning to end, he found that there was no difference between the sacrificial formation arranged by him and the sacrificial formation arranged by Han Yun on the surface.
There are detailed parameters of the formation in the photo, and he is depicted with a ruler, so there is no problem with the size.
So what's the problem?
He didn't know if it was because of physical reasons or if there were unknown factors that didn't join the sacrificial formation.
With doubts, Ji Xiu made another comparison.
As a result, no deviations were found.
Returning to the center of the formation and sitting cross-legged, Ji Xiu opened his index finger and dripped blood, trying to do it again.
This time, however, there was no expected spatial distortion and a strong sense of weightlessness.
The attempt failed, Ji Xiu was completely speechless, and the 500CC blood seemed to be wasted.
Just when Ji Xiu was about to compare the pictures again and start again, An An's room door was suddenly opened, An An yawned and came to the living room, and after glancing at the messy scene, he looked at him with a puzzled expression:
"What are you doing here?"
At this time, An An's eyes were clear, and at a glance, he knew that the wisdom in his brain had regained the upper hand, and the top number was on the line.
In the face of the inquiry, Ji Xiu said the words he had already thought of:
"Through this formation, I may be able to establish a connection with the original seed god behind me, but the activation failed."
When An An heard this, he came to the formation and stood still, lowered his head and shook his head after carefully examining the formation:
"There is no problem with the structure of the formation, but I have seen the high priest of Yu Surprise activate the prayer array that connects to the god of Yu Shock, and compared to your formation, your formation lacks a wisp of divine power."
"What do you mean?"
"It's just that the key start-up energy is missing."
Realizing that An An might know how to solve this problem, Ji Xiu immediately asked:
"Sister An, how to solve this problem?"
"Simple, I have divine power."
As she spoke, An An raised her hand and waved, and suddenly the blue hammer mark on her right forearm burst out with brilliant light, turning into a blue war hammer condensed in her hand.
"It's coming!"
As he spoke, An An raised the war hammer in his hand and slammed it at him.
The wind was blowing, and Ji Xiu almost thought that he would be crushed to death with a hammer.
However, the warhammer landed on his forehead, but there was no pain, only to see the surface of the blue warhammer with energy ripples spreading, and the sacrificial formation under his feet seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and the energy ripples also appeared.
The surrounding space distorts and changes, and the familiar feeling of weightlessness gradually increases.
