Chapter 151 The Ouija Board (28) [Even if he's handsome, it won't work, Ah Tan...]
Xie Tan was stunned.
The person opposite him, the new Ouija board spirit, was completely shrouded in a black cloak, with not a single part exposed, like a dark shadow.
Is Su He's destined substitute the observer Twelve? The cloak is exactly the same.
No, the person opposite was taller than Twelve, and the same height and width as Su He. Like a reflection from a mirror, Su He magically donned the cloak.
This is Su He.
Along this line, Suhe was made into observation point twelve.
So, is it because the nephew can understand human speech, escaped from the Black Goat, and Su He was unfortunately made into Observation Twelve by Su Huang?
In the blink of an eye, everything disappeared, leaving only the blackish-red Ouija board.
Xie Tan slumped over the desk, still clutching his pen, his long black hair brushing against the paper, cold sweat dripping down, leaving a mark like a red flower.
"You look terrible, it breaks my heart. You've used up all the fragments?"
A red face appeared in the dressing mirror on the dormitory door: "I have quite a few mirror shards, but none of them are as concentrated as your shard solution. They're probably ineffective against you now. What should I do? The ritual hasn't even started yet, and I've already made myself look like this."
Xie Tan stared at the circles of text so close to his face. They were all his handwriting, but under the crazy circles left by the red paper and the spirits of the Ouija board, each stroke seemed to be swimming like a fish, spinning in his somewhat blurred vision.
“Su Huang…” he asked in a hoarse voice.
"It's trapped in the center of the array and is gradually being absorbed into the incantation. Once everything is ready, we'll light the fire and completely refine it." The cult leader pondered for a moment. "Hmm, there are still four left. In a bit, I'll drag One-Eye Five along to play with the Ouija board and refine it into the ritual as well."
Xia Wujin washed away Observation 10, IF Line 12, Xu Jinbo, Su He, Black Goat Clan Head Su Huang, One-Eye Five who is about to be refined, plus the four refined a few days ago, for a total of ten "white pieces".
Three more are needed.
Xie Tan guessed who else was involved; it was simply the remaining members of the main cast, himself, Xue Hong who should have already entered the campus, and... Lu Jinzhao.
He rubbed his temples, feeling as if a thread was stretched across his nerves, with an invisible hand pulling at both ends, slowly grinding to prevent his nerves from breaking, but the pain was constant.
"Alright, alright, you should rest for a bit. Don't worry about Su Huang running away. Have you forgotten that your good uncle is overseeing the ceremony? I'm not just for show, trust me. Once you've calmed down a bit, let's finish up quickly and then we'll begin..."
"Is that so?" Xie Tan suddenly asked.
"Um?"
Xie Tan slowly raised his head, his dark eyes half-hidden by his disheveled black hair, making them difficult to see clearly: "Should I believe you?"
His lips curled into a smile: "Oh dear, it seems that old dog has been talking badly about me."
"I'm not stupid, even without others telling me." Xie Tan stared at him intently and said softly, "She's your former ally, huh?"
"This makes me a little sad, but I understand. We haven't known each other for long, and you've misunderstood me. We can't afford to fight amongst ourselves at such an important time. It would be best if we could talk things out."
Although the cult leader was still smiling, his tone became much more sincere, and he laid bare his despicable nature: "Of course I am wicked, ambitious, and I have no qualms about betraying anyone, but like you, child, I also want the Black Goat to die."
He said, "Isn't it because of this shared hatred that we've come together? It's just that you're doing it for your mother, and I'm doing it for myself."
Xie Tan remained unmoved: "You will die too."
A multitude of tongues is an indispensable part of forging the eye of observation; it is also the material.
“That’s not called death, that’s called returning to the embrace of God. In many stories, there are gods who go to the mortal world to undergo tribulations, and in the end they all return to heaven. Isn’t that becoming a god? Do you know what I heard most often in Black Goat? They called me the Smoke Mirror, called me by the name of God, and said that I was the incarnation of the Sun God on earth.”
The cult leader's smile grew wider, filled with longing and ecstasy, tinged with fanaticism: "The Black Goat is right about one thing: this is glory! But while the tribespeople who hear this believe it wholeheartedly, the patriarch who uttered it has no faith whatsoever. That old bastard Su Huang just wants to control everything. The Mirror Cult is not just another Black Goat. I am the cult leader, child, the First Sun is my faith!"
"He rescued us from our predicament like lambs, proclaimed the truth that 'all things will perish, all things are impermanent,' and demonstrated true power! Nothing could be more perfect! ... Promise me, you must! You must wash away that foolish and blasphemous impurity and let the true Him descend...!"
Xie Tan's eyes remained calm.
"Sorry, I got a little excited." The cult leader realized he had gone off-topic, instantly suppressing his morbidly worshipful smile and returning to his original expression.
Chang Mingai's image slowly appeared in the mirror, and the mirror image of the dormitory also turned into the chess club.
The cult leader sat in front of the chessboard and vaguely extended his hand. Xie Tan felt his hand, which was still holding the pen, being grasped.
The cult leader said, “You know I’m serious. I’m in your ceremony right now. I swear to you that when I formed an alliance with your mother, I did everything according to plan and did not do anything beyond her requirements.”
“We can invoke the Ouija board. You know better than I do that the Ouija board has limitations, but its answers are absolutely correct. This is the ritual you performed. Only the Eye of Observation can provide such answers.”
Xie Tan neither agreed nor refused, and the leader took it as tacit consent and began to chant the incantation.
"Ouija board spirit, Ouija board spirit, you are my past life, I am your present life. If you want to continue our bond, please draw a circle on the paper."
The pen moved, and Xie Tan saw Su He, draped in a cloak, once again.
"It would be even better if it were this old dog; he wouldn't lie to you for my sake." The cult leader asked, "Ouija board spirit, were the things I just said true?"
The pen became lazy and seemed to ignore him, but due to the rules, it still circled "yes".
The cult leader winked, as if seeking praise: "See? If you don't believe me, ask him again yourself."
Xie Tan didn't ask. Just like the cult leader said, perhaps because he drew the Ouija board, he could vaguely sense that the Ouija board wasn't lying, so the cult leader's words weren't lies either.
He gradually toned down his sharp and secretive attitude towards the cult leader.
Seeing that he believed it, the cult leader threw the pen on the ground after using it, thus getting rid of the annoying Ouija board spirit.
“That’s right, the Black Goat is destined to die. I’m your only family now, we should be the closest of friends…”
"You should go." It was too noisy, Xie Tan said, bowing his head.
"Alright, you can rest now, but don't forget the last few." The lips in the dressing mirror clicked their tongues mercilessly and chuckled, "And my suggestions too."
The lips disappeared, and finally, there was peace and quiet.
Xie Tan, exhausted, slumped onto the table, his breathing heavy.
After a while, he realized that the cult leader's suggestion was to wipe out Lu Jinzhao and let the sun return to pure evil.
He pursed his lips.
The reappearing cat, number 7, sat on the table, leaning out with its fluffy body to snuggle against his face.
The kitten's whiskers were a little prickly on his face, but the fine tickling actually made Xie Tan catch his breath.
"...The comic has been updated?"
Meow~
He turned his head to the side, took out his phone, and took advantage of the fact that his pheromones had not completely gone out of control to gather new information.
The new chapter begins with him and Xia Wujin heading to the old teaching building to look for someone.
[The medicine hadn't even finished taking effect when Atan rushed to the old teaching building; he must have sensed Lulu was there!]
[The eye for observation naturally gravitates towards the sun—]
[This young couple is so eager to meet, so cute!]
Through the comics, Xie Tan finally learned what happened on the Twelve's side, as well as the love-hate relationship between Su He and Twelve.
The contrast made it clear how good-natured Su He was to him. One second she was full of murderous intent, and the next she was helping him up as if she were holding a fragile object.
[Sigh, what a pity about this uncle-nephew duo.]
[This father-son duo! The way Wolf Dad protects Ah Tan is like he's looking at a beloved masterpiece, who understands...]
[This reflective material is from the DIY couple rings from the blind box last time! Atan was too shy to wear it, and Lulu kept pestering her, thinking Atan wouldn't give in, but Atan carefully wore it on her chest!]
[Did you carve the sun and moon on it?]
Yes, and then it contains the other person's initials! It's like they're mutually declaring ownership.
Why does Atan seem to feel even worse when he's in the old teaching building? Has the medication completely worn off?
[Exactly, the frequency of medication is increasing, but the effectiveness is decreasing and the duration is much shorter. Atan is using his observation capabilities so frequently; maintaining this independent time and space must be too much of a burden.]
[Tsk, it seems even the Eye of Observation has its flaws.]
[The one who came back later, the one upstairs is a prophet!]
[Oh my god, is this the world as seen through the Eye of Observation? It's terrifying! Tan Tan Cat, you've really suffered!]
Sure enough, the "hallucination" he saw in that classroom was terrifying enough on its own, but under the influence of the Sword God, it became even more terrifying.
The dimly lit room was filled with shadowy figures and people; all the colors that allowed one to breathe had been stripped away, making it feel like hell.
The figures that switched back and forth between humans and ghosts were both silent and noisy. The boy seemed unable to bear it any longer. He lowered his head and finally replied, "What are we playing? Summon the spirit?"
It looked like a question, but his indifferent expression made it seem like a statement.
Even as a ghost, Rarity is still the noisiest.
[And it's because of the noise from Ah Tan, that's how the unsubscribe group is, hahaha]
[Is Ah Tan lost in all the "what if" scenarios? Didn't he realize the other person is actually a young lady? And Ah Tan almost blurted it out, didn't he? How can I save you from that question?]
[What a close call!]
[Oh my god, this ever-changing face... indeed, if Atan has inner demons, they're Lu Lu and Sixth Sister QAQ]
[Something was amiss, but Ah Tan realized it and stopped immediately. I suspect he already knew this when he suggested using the Ouija board.]
That's right. First, even if the disease breaks out, he can foresee how things will develop on Twelve's side, so releasing his aunt still keeps her under his control.
Secondly, it's likely that they knew their condition was deteriorating and feared they wouldn't be able to care for her, so it was safer for the young lady to leave sooner.
[As expected of the Eye of Observation, the new Ouija board was spotted on the spot without waiting for the next questioner.]
This cat says nothing, but it's actually silently protecting everyone.
[And the young lady knew too! From her perspective, it was when Xie Tan, who was having an episode, suddenly asked her if she wanted to use a spirit medium, and she hesitated for a moment before agreeing...]
[“So I think it’s my turn now…” Waaah, our group of ordinary people is also great, who dares to question the bond between our nine fugitives!]
[Patriarch: I don't know! They were shouting about bonds, and you just went and killed me!]
[Hahahaha, catch!]
Then, when it came to Su He and Observation Ten, the rhythm really took off.
However tense the situation may be, hatred and resentment all fall silent in the face of the most genuine fear.
A hand, beautiful enough to be a work of art, gently landed on Twelve's head.
The arrogant words came to an abrupt halt, and the observer who had looked down upon most ghosts and monsters became a puppet under that hand.
In the darkness, a tall and elegant shadow stood silently.
No one knew when he appeared, and no one noticed.
To facilitate club activities, unlike his usual bright and fashionable attire, he deliberately wore a dirt-resistant black outfit, giving him an unusually somber look.
His hair was also black, with a faint sheen like the reflection on an obsidian mirror, but not as intense as the darkness itself.
Only those amber eyes shone brightly.
Like a tiger or leopard walking in the dark, catching a glimpse of ants.
His very existence is oppression.
【…Holy crap】
[Ahhh, he's so handsome!!!]
[Where has the master come from?]
I don't know, I was reading the comic perfectly fine, and suddenly my knees buckled.
[More than handsome, I'm terrified! Anyone else get goosebumps like me? Who the hell are you?!]
【Whoever you are, get off Lu Lu!!】
This aura is absolutely divine!
[Holy crap, so the Mirror God is already overwriting Lu Lu's existence?! Like one personality killing another?]
[Help! Ah Tan, help me! Your boyfriend is being possessed!]
[No matter how handsome he is, it's no good, Atan, hurry up and wash him!]
