Chapter 351: Method of Releasing Evil Spirits
Angel was hiding nearby, watching "Rafter" with blood all over his face mocking Sherlock's outfit, and felt a strange sense of surprise in his heart.
He was clearly the target of everyone's ghost-like intimidation, but he looked more like a real "evil ghost" than the other three present...
She had already grasped the "Good Luck" revolver in her hand and the magic pocket watch in her other hand, ready to fight this strange guy at any time. She believed that the other two people - the mysterious "ghost" Miss Sharon, and Sherlock, whose appearance changed from an armored evil spirit back to his original appearance in a windbreaker, were the same.
After all, this person looks like he's possessed by an evil spirit...
"Are you the evil spirit sealed in the underground ruins?"
After the open space beside the church was quiet for a long time, Sherlock, who had returned to his original appearance and clothing, finally spoke.
"Yes, I've seen you before. It wasn't just you who came in through the main gate that day, but also... her, right?"
The "evil spirit"'s bloodshot eyes suddenly turned and looked towards the low wall outside the church. There, among the withered vines, the beautifully dressed Miss Sharon walked towards them, and her figure gradually became clear.
"The invisible lady over there, don't bother showing off your tricks in front of me."
Seeing the evil spirit turn around again and look straight at him, Angel sighed, lifted his invisibility, stood next to Sherlock, and openly aimed his gun at "Rafter" whose face was covered in blood. Even if the firearm could not kill the evil spirit, at least it could get rid of the person he possessed.
According to him, only this descendant of Tudor's bloodline could allow him to temporarily overcome the seal and appear in the outside world. Therefore, as long as Raft was killed, the evil spirit would lose the means to stay here.
"Very good, now we can have a frank discussion," the evil spirit nodded, his tone surprisingly slowing down, no longer carrying the arrogant tone from before. "This guy thinks I'm a great being who can revive the Tudor family, but I'm just an innocent victim killed by Alistair Tudor's ambition for dominance. My body is in the ruins below, so I haven't been able to leave. According to him, it's been around for about two thousand years."
"My wish is simple. I want to leave this underground ruin and become a free, unrestrained spirit. I promise that once I am free, I will not harm other innocent people."
The evil spirit glanced at the three people one by one. Seeing that they all had sullen faces and did not respond, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and continued:
"Of course, as an innocent soul that has existed for such a long time, some of the knowledge in my memory can also serve as a reward, such as..."
He looked at Sherlock, who looked calm.
"You just used a flame jump to enter the tunnel. Was that the 'diviner' path? Unfortunately, you're not even a Faceless Man. You can only use the basic Beyonder abilities to imitate my appearance. Although I don't know the subsequent potion formula, I can give you a precious item. Its original owner was attracted to the ruins by some kind of attraction and died beside those Tudor descendants."
He stretched out his hand with his palm facing up, and the moonlight condensed into a translucent picture in his palm, with a card floating in it. Angel saw that it was a normal-sized Tarot card, somewhat similar to the "Chariot" card, but the picture was not the usual one, but a priest in a crimson robe.
That person's appearance was exactly like the late Emperor Roselle!
Angel immediately recalled the "Black Emperor" card in Mr. Fool's collection that he had seen at the Tarot Club. The "Blasphemy Card" that also had Russell's image on it recorded the formulas and rituals for an entire path of potions, and even the name "Sequence 0".
She subconsciously looked at the upper left corner of the "Chariot", where a line of text appeared:
"Sequence 0: Red Priest."
Not a chariot? Oh, and Mr. Fool's card isn't "Emperor" either, but "Black Emperor." This is the name of the Sequence 0 potion, and it's also the end point of this path, the end point of the Divine Path...
Thinking of this, Angel felt a surge of heat in her heart. In this abandoned little church, she actually learned the name of another Sequence 0 from an unknown evil spirit.
She looked at Sherlock. Although he managed to maintain his expression, shock was evident in his gaze. Yes, he was not completely unaware of the "Card of Blasphemy" and might have understood the significance of Sequence 0... And Miss Sharon...
This "ghost" with skin so white it was almost transparent didn't react at all. Perhaps it wasn't clear what Sequence 0 meant, or perhaps it was concealing its emotions well. The latter was more likely. After all, any Beyonder would be at least a little surprised to see this kind of information...
Thinking of this, she immediately frowned, hiding her emotions in her eyes, and looked blankly at Raft who was possessed by the evil spirit.
The evil spirit wordlessly put away the image of the "Card of Blasphemy" and looked at Sharon again.
"I saw it last time. You must be a resentful spirit of the 'Alien' path, only one step away from becoming a demigod. I can help you obtain the Sequence 4 'Puppet' potion formula, and it can even become a part of your ascension ceremony.
"If you don't want to be a puppet, I can also provide the formula for a Sequence 4 potion from the Abyss Path. It's also known as the Devil. Flaunting evil and restrained desire can be transformed into each other."
The "Abyssal" Path? Another unheard-of potion path, but perhaps just another name for a known path. The Abyss... Could it be the "Criminal" Path? They worshiped demons and received gifts from the Abyss...
Furthermore, according to the evil spirit, the "Alien" path that Miss Sharon is in can be interchanged between Sequence 4 and "Abyss", just like Ince Zangwill's advancement from Sequence 5 of "Corpse Collector" to Sequence 4 of "Sleepless One".
"Puppet" and "demon", restrained and outspoken... What a strange exchange of paths, what kind of pattern is there...
She was digesting the knowledge revealed by the evil spirit, but found that the other party's bloodshot eyes were looking at her again.
"As for you, the secretive 'witch', well, judging by your appearance, you should already be 'happy'. Tsk tsk, you two are such a strange combination..."
The evil spirit made no secret of the fact that he had seen through Angel's disguise as the "Ring of Madness". He made a clicking sound with a smile on his face.
"I can provide you with the recipes for the 'Pain' and 'Despair' potions, as well as their respective advancement rituals. If you don't want to continue on this path, you can even choose to switch to another path when you advance to Sequence 4. The prerequisite is that you give up certain things."
"Another way?"
Angel asked curiously.
"Yes, the Hunter Path," the evil spirit's smile grew even wider. "Witches and Hunters, the extremes of femininity and masculinity. Just like you were forced to become female at Sequence 7, when Hunters ascend to Demigod status, they are forced to become male. This is true even if you jump from the Path of Pain to the other side. Hahahaha... hiccups!"
The evil spirit-possessed Raft burst into laughter, but suddenly burped, swallowing the rest of the laughter back into his stomach. His bloodshot eyes widened as if someone was strangling his neck. The bulging eyeballs made Angel and Sherlock take a step back, and even Sharon almost disappeared.
"Sorry, the guy who's possessed is a little restless..."
After taking a few deep breaths, "Luft" recovered, raised his blood-stained face and looked at the three people.
"How is it? The reward isn't huge, but it's within easy reach and risk-free. Just set this innocent soul free, and all these will be yours."
The reward... Sequence 5 and Sequence 4 potion formulas, and even the opportunity to jump to another path, and transform back...
Of course, the premise is that the evil spirit does not lie and will keep his promise.
Angel looked at Sharon and saw her blue eyes looking over there as if seeking advice from the others. On the other side, Sherlock looked back at Angel with a hint of worry in his brown eyes.
After understanding his companion's thoughts, Angel turned his attention back to the evil spirit-possessed Raft and asked:
"How should I release you?"
"It's a very simple matter," the evil spirit replied in a somewhat high tone after finally convincing the three people. "Find direct descendants of the Soren, Einhorn, and Medici families. Take ten milliliters of their blood from each of them, preferably more, not less. Mix it with holy water and sprinkle it in the room I'm in in the underground ruins. The seal will be lifted."
The method does sound simple, but I've never heard of these three families...
Angel subconsciously looked at Sherlock, a history graduate. The latter's face was normal, but the knuckles of his right index finger were trembling slightly, obviously thinking. After a moment, he joined the conversation:
"I know the first two families, but I've never heard of the Medici family."
"Heh, that's because they're very good at hiding. You can follow a secret organization to find them, 'Redemption Rose'."
"The True Creator?"
Sherlock's quick question stopped the evil spirit from saying anything else, and he looked a little surprised.
"You know more than I thought," he said with a cautious tone. "You're right. Find the organization that believes in the 'True Creator' and uncover the secrets behind them, and you'll gain access to the 'Redemption Rose'."
"Do you think a few of us mid-sequences can do something like this? Why don't you just provide some useful information?"
"Do you expect a spirit trapped for two thousand years to have any clues? You can go look for it in 'Benxi Town', although it's probably not called that name anymore."
Binxi Town...
Angel racked his brains but could not find any information about this place name. Perhaps as the evil spirit said, two thousand years have passed and the ancient town has long disappeared in the long river of history.
Sherlock had the research spirit of a history student and asked the evil spirit "Blood Emperor" Alistair Tudor about the history, and the evil spirit answered his questions somewhat reluctantly.
Then, the evil spirit possessing Luft shook twice as if exhausted, interrupted Sherlock's question, and said:
"Once you've lifted the seal, these histories... no, my personal experiences, will be given to you along with the reward I just mentioned. But remember, this fellow," he pointed to his face, "has the Blood Emperor's bloodline. There are still some uses for it, such as unlocking the valuables left by Tudor or exploring deeper ruins. You'd better not rush to kill him to silence him."
nice one……
Angel's heart moved as he watched Raft Pound actually stagger a few times. His legs went soft and he fell to the ground with his eyes closed, losing consciousness.
She tried to open her spiritual vision and looked around. There were only four of them near the church, and there was no trace of evil spirits.
The evil spirit that spoke wildly has returned to the seal.
