From Prisoner to Si Chen

October 2nd, night.

Gilan is in the master bedroom of the rental apartment, stretching his fists and feet, constantly testing the changes after being promoted to level 2.

call out! Whoosh! !

He stood upright on the spot, opened his arms to the left and right, and struck in the air in front of him.

His hands were at their peak, and even if he just casually waved his fists or knives, he could only see a blurry afterimage.

A little distance can even create the illusion of "the arms disappearing".

The terrifying screams that broke through the air kept ringing in the room.

Suddenly, Jilan stopped and stood still.

He lowered his head and looked at his palms.

He looked thoughtful.

‘The extent to which “anchors” improve their physical fitness is the same as that of “actors”, not much, about 20%. ’

Gillan smiled again.

'But this is only for ordinary mystics... because my foundation is the "exceeding limit" level, which can compete with the second-level spiritual mystics of the body path. ’

‘The 20% increase will be amplified by the increase in the White Cross’s four secret skills... By then, the actual combat power I can exert will probably exceed the ordinary level 2! ’

'What's more, I have a trump card...the "anchor's" unique ability to "release humanity"! ’

Jilan was once again unsure of the extent of his own strength.

If the "Mad King" Iros in the Soul Kingdom is released, can he defeat the level 3 "Glow" mystic?

Gillan wasn't entirely sure.

But he firmly believed that even a third-level spiritual mystic could never kill him in a head-on confrontation...

After spending more than half an hour, he continued to get familiar with his stronger body.

Gilan washed up, changed into clean silk pajamas, and sat down at the desk.

A colorful light burst out in his hand, and a square bone carving board twenty-five centimeters wide and forty centimeters long appeared on the table.

It was the "Lotherth Ouija Board" he obtained from "The Will of Man".

Jilan flicked his hand, and with the twisting colored light, another bottle with a thin neck and a fat belly appeared on the table.

This is the small half bottle of "Mysterious Dust" left when he was refining "Green Gunpowder". There is about 2 ink units left in it.

According to the prompts in the colorful entry, 1 ink unit can offset the disaster penalty of a failed divination.

This bottle of "mysterious dust" is enough for Jilan to perform divination twice.

But before the divination started, he got up and went to the kitchen and brought a handful of sage and rosemary.

Gillan lit the sage and rosemary with the gilded lighter belonging to Vicomte Lobben, and placed them in two brass vessels, one on each side of the Ouija board.

Four more white candles were lit and placed at the four corners of the Ouija board.

Bo!

Gillan opened the cork and sprinkled 1 ink unit of occult dust onto the Ouija board.

Under the illumination of the candlelight, the gray-black powder gradually sank into the Ouija board like melting snowflakes. This makes the entire bone carving board present a shiny and coquettish beauty.

At this time, he just picked up the triangular bone piece.

The surface of the bone fragment is covered with fine and exquisite patterns, and a round hole is hollowed out in the center to reveal the scarlet lettering on the Ouija board.

Snapped.

Gillan pressed the bone fragment against the Ouija board.

On the smooth and cold Ouija board, thirty ancient Hiru letters were engraved, arranged in three rows.

Above, there is a row of Guhiru numbers from 0 to 9.

Below are the two juxtaposed words "yes" and "no".

Ji Lan took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and let her mind go.

A long while.

“The current position of Jenna ‘Miss Rabbit’ Clare, daughter of July Baptist Church President Adura Clare.”

He spoke softly.

call.

A gust of wind blew from nowhere, swaying the candlelight.

Ji Lan suddenly felt that there was an invisible force pushing the bone fragments under his fingertips to move slowly on the Ouija board.

He felt a chill in his heart.

Immediately, he tentatively turned on his spiritual vision.

However, under that "fantasy" vision, there was nothing around the Ouija board or even himself.

'Is it an invisible force, or is my gnosis insufficient to pry into the secrets of the Ouija board...'

Ji Lan secretly thought.

He temporarily put aside his doubts and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the divination ceremony.

The bone fragment pressed by the fingers moved a total of nineteen times.

Gillan remembers this trajectory clearly.

Wait until the bone pieces stop moving.

He then opened his eyes, pieced together the letters on the Ouija board based on the tracks recorded in his mind, and murmured:

"North...Muse, Wupper...street, Tietjens...grand hotel?"

Gillan let out a long breath.

He wasn't sure about the accuracy of Ouija board divination, but Gillan decided to go there and find out.

If this woman dares to send someone to harm him, she should die.

"This big hotel seems to be opposite the Silver Lizard Club?"

Gillan recalled for a moment and remembered the location of the hotel.

He thought that he would set out to find it tomorrow.

Just cleared the table.

Buzz.

Buzz.

On the bedside table, the "Alchemy Hotline" suddenly vibrated.

Gillan walked over quickly and mentioned the "hotline".

"Hello?"

"Blood Owl, there is an important task for you inside 'Midnight Rose'."

As soon as the microphone was put to his ear, Sage Bai's magnetic voice came from inside.

His tone was unprecedentedly serious and serious, which made Gillan cheer up.

"This is the first secret mission you will complete as the first member of the Thorns. Please pay attention..."

"Huh?" Ji Lan's eyes narrowed. "Mr. White Sage, please speak."

"Tomorrow, October 3, at eight o'clock in the evening, there will be a grand dinner at the Tietjens Hotel."

"On the surface, it was a birthday dinner hosted by Lord Crook Taylor for his daughter Dedel, but in fact, it was a large-scale ceremony called 'Black Mass' secretly planned by the July Baptist Church."

"The true identity of Adura Clare, the president of the Baptist Church, is the senior host within the 'Golden Bough of Dawn'. She intends to obtain the gift of the 'Mother of Reproduction' through the 'Black Mass', so that her own golden seed can blossom and grow from the 'bud' The person's promotion to 'shedding'."

After the White Sage's concise explanation, Ji Lan just learned that "Changyi" is a follower of "Fan Mother" who is a higher level than "Budbearer".

Its strength is already comparable to that of Jiushi.

Therefore, placed inside the "Golden Branch of Dawn", it definitely belongs to the high-level ranks.

"Blood Owl, I need you to find a way to attend this birthday dinner, and then intervene in the 'Black Mass' after it starts, and try to stop the ceremony as much as possible."

White Sage said solemnly.

"Of course, I will send other people to help you. The only thing you have to do is destroy the ritual symbols and formations they arranged and cut off contact."

"How strong are they?"

Gillan raised a more concerning question.

"There are at least five to six 'black-collar deacons' within the Baptist Church, who are master-level combat forces. The 'Golden Branch of Dawn' should also send a few 'bud-bearers' to assist Adura."

The White Sage thought for a while and then said.

"Adura Claire is the most powerful. She is already a 'bud bearer' with three gold seeds, comparable to a third-level spiritual mystic... You must not be impulsive. Once you fight, she can do it in ten seconds. I will kill you."

"This is just the most ideal situation...at the 'Black Mass' scene, the level of danger will only be higher."

"Yeah, I know." Gillan responded.

On the other end of the phone, Sage Bai was silent for a few seconds, then spoke again:

"Blood Owl, this mission is actually a bit dangerous for you. You can refuse to perform it."

“But I’d lose my membership over that, right?”

Gillan laughed.

"It's not that serious." White Sage smiled. "It will only lower the evaluation of you within 'Midnight Rose'... Also, I forgot to tell you that if the mission is completed, there will be a mysterious reward."

"Okay, I'll take it."

Gillan replied casually.

On the other end of the phone, Sage Bai was startled.

It seems that he didn't expect the blood owl to agree so simply.

Seeing this, Sage Bai was also secretly pleased.

"Although the mission is important, you must also pay attention to your own safety. If nothing can be done, leave the scene immediately."

he ordered.

"The manpower I sent will contact you at that time. But before the official start of the 'Black Mass', you are not allowed to have any direct contact, so as not to arouse suspicion."

"learn."

Gilan agreed, his eyes deep.

It makes sense that the Ouija board is located at the Tietjens Hotel.

‘Just in time, let’s take advantage of the mission and deal with you together... Miss Jenna Claire. ’
