Fast Forward To 3077

The signal light turns green.

The awakening ceremony is now ready.

Xu Jiu stood up and took a deep breath, unexpectedly nervous.

Through Jing Shu’s description, he learned that during the awakening ceremony, a number of arrays once found in the "unknown" ruins will be activated, allowing him to communicate with ancient sages and gain a lot of Knowledge that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

This process sounds simple, but the various changes that occur during the ceremony are uncontrollable.

Especially this so-called "Ancient Sage", there is no clear definition for him, or simply it, within the Secret Society.

To put it bluntly, people who perfect the awakening ceremony only know that this can achieve the result of communicating with the ancient sage, but they don’t understand why the ancient sage appeared, let alone what the ancient sage is. origin.

Not to mention that Xu Jiu was the first person to be awakened and ceremony under the premise of having a certain special ability.

"There may be accidents during the ceremony, and Secret Society is not responsible for this."

This is the Chief-In-Charge of Secret Society who informed Xu Jiu in advance risks of.

In fact, there have been many failures in the awakening ceremony within the Secret Society over the years. They have never said that they can guarantee 100% success.

Temporarily put the necklace that might prevent the flow of energy in Jing Shu's hands. Xu Jiu stood in front of the door and watched the former turn into the corridor on the left.

She will follow the flow in the ceremony field in the main control room.

Only the parties are allowed to exist in the ceremony during the ceremony.

The sound of footsteps went away, and soon Xu Jiu was the only one left here. He raised his head and glanced at the green signal light, but the door in front of him never opened.

"pa ~"

Just when Xu Jiu felt that the door was broken, a light sound came from behind,

The light suddenly dimmed After turning around, I saw that the lights in the entire corridor were extinguishing.

Not long after, even the signal lights on the door beam went dark.

Because it is underground, there is no such thing as natural light. When the light is dimmed, the surroundings immediately plunge into complete darkness.

Being an ordinary person, I am afraid that at this time, I am afraid that I will be shocked. Xu Jiu stays quietly, even condensing his original perception of being scattered around all the time.

Because the door in front of me has been opened, and there are small lights embedded in the soil on the ground.

Yes.

Through these small lights that can only illuminate the surrounding area that is not as big as a palm, Xu Jiu discovered that the ground at the bottom of the Secret Society is actually full of soft soil, and it can leave marks when stepping on it. .

With the financial resources of Secret Society, it is naturally not difficult to lay the floor here, and if they did not do this, there is only one possibility. This is a specially arranged area.

Xu Jiu quickly realized that they were not aiming at themselves when they turned off the lights, and didn't want to let themselves see the surrounding arrangements, but ceremony needed to do so.

Because of this, he stopped perceiving his surroundings.

Walking forward along the small light on the ground, in the surrounding darkness, a whisper of Xisuo Suo came vaguely.

Suddenly, there was a black shadow flashing on the small light in front, and the sound of wind blowing in the ear, as if something was hiding in the shadow, panting.

They were watching Xu Jiu, and his footsteps became more calm.

After walking about twenty steps, a stone platform two meters long and one meter wide appeared in front of the small lamp. When Xu Jiu approached, the edge position was reminded by phosphor. Handwriting.

'Lying'wait'

Xu Jiu tidied up the clothes without hesitation, blunt lay on the stone platform, waiting for the ceremony to start.

Fully enclosed main control room.

Several secret ceremonies who hosted the ceremony are also paying attention to the situation in the venue, only through night vision cameras.

Even if the main control room is only a wall away from the venue, they still have no idea of ​​opening a window, as if there is something on the other side that can't be seen directly, they can only use these cold machines to snoop. .

"Mister Xu arrived at the ceremony stage, the ceremony officially began, ready to infuse the source energy."

The man wrapped in bandages and only showing pale eyes straightened up, his voice hoarse Issued instructions.

Beside him stood several other occultists, including Jing Shu, but these people kept a distance from the bandage man by appointment.

The bandager's body has a decadent breath, as if it has been corroded in some way. At this moment, part of the bandage on his body is faintly revealing some earth-yellow, which looks very strange.

He didn't care much about his colleagues' combing, he turned and walked towards the stone plate in the center of the console.

Different from the high-tech equipment that can be seen everywhere in the entire main control room, this stone disk seems to have just been brought back from a ruin somewhere, and the surface is full of mottled marks left by the erosion of the years.

Its diameter is close to 1.5 meters, and there are fist sized pits in the center and on the edges. The inside has been filled with source energy crystal stone, and the pits are full of crisscross. The gully.

The gullies are connected to each other to form one special symbol after another, and the symbols echo each other, which are distributed on the stone plate according to a certain specific law, and finally form a mysterious whole.

Several occultists occupied specific positions around the stone disk, and Jing Shu did not get involved.

She has been an occultist for less than two months, and she is not yet qualified to contact the content related to the awakening ceremony.

But because of the current shortage of staff, she was also assigned a job.

Wrap the necklace around the wrist of the right hand and walk towards the original position of the bandaged person. When they start the ceremony, Jing Shu needs to stand here and give the ceremony field through the image displayed on the screen. Information within.

As the host, the bandager first raised his hand to reach the source crystal in the center of the stone plate, and began to recite incantion in his mouth. Several people next to him also put their right hand on the outer edge of the plate. crystal stone top.

Jing Shu looked at the screen and seemed to feel that the slate was too hard, with his hands behind his head, Xu Jiu with Erlang's legs tilted in a daze, pursed his mouth, as if he had noticed something, he suddenly turned to look at the stone The position of the disk.

Zi~Z~

The light on the top of the main control room flickered suddenly, with varying brightness.

The bright incandescent light somehow stained with an obscure luster, the bandages chanting incantation began to show uncontrolled spasms, and the yellowish bandages on both sides of the neck and cheeks were high and low. The ups and downs, something seemed to grow underneath.

The bandager did not respond to this, as if he had known that his body would be abnormal, he just slammed the palm of his hand originally suspended on the source crystal in the center of the stone platform.

The sharp tip of the crystal stone pierced the flesh, and a few blood drops slipped off.

At the same time.

With the upswing of the incantation tone, filamentous black lines began to pour into the light blue crystal stone.

Next second.

The surface layer of the crystal stone began to overflow with blue light doped with black and red threads, injected into the gully that originally existed on the stone plate, and spread to the rest of the stone plate.

The incantations on the stone plate light up one after another.

The crystal stone under the control of several other occultists bloomed with rays of light.

Jing Shu turned around and cast his gaze to the monitor screen again.

The ceremony has started.

The energy is surging.

Xu Jiu instinctively perceives an abnormality in the surrounding environment.

For the smooth progress of the ceremony, Xu Jiu deliberately relaxes himself.

Shrink the energy in the circular bead to prevent their interference from causing the ceremony to fail.

With an unchecked crisp sound, Xu Jiu rolled his head and glanced over the row of small lights on the ground leading to the corridor where the elevator was located.

They went out.

There is no trace of light in the entire space, and even the sound of breathing is extremely clear.

Frankly speaking, Xu Jiu has never experienced such a state. When his body collapsed in his previous life, he couldn't even react.

Lying flat in the center of the stone platform, Xu Jiu did not close his eyes, but chose to stare into the darkness.

To be precise, it is to watch the existence in the dark.

Since he just arrived on the stone platform and lay down, weird whispers and the sound of something wriggling came from the nearby shadow from time to time.

Not only that, along with the surge of energy, these voices are constantly increasing.

Xu Jiu wanted to see what these gadgets were hidden in the ceremony field, but he tried a few times and found nothing.

Can only hear louder and louder voices, which made Xu Jiu suspicious for a while.

Are they approaching?

Or is it because of the extremely quiet environment that you have auditory hallucinations?

Similar thoughts did not stay in my mind for too long, because Xu Jiu found that the stone platform underneath him did not know when there was a change.

The light blue lines spread from one end of the stone platform like fireworks, and when they reached the middle position, they began to outline one after another spells that he had never seen before.

In a short while, the entire stone platform that seemed ordinary before appeared several arrays with overlapping edges......

and so on.

How did you see this?

Xu Jiu suddenly froze in place, he clearly remembered that he should have been lying on the stone platform just now, his line of sight should be aimed at the ceiling of this venue, no matter what, he would not suddenly see himself The situation behind the stone platform.

He doesn't have eyes behind his head!

So what's your situation now?

Xu Jiu subconsciously stretched out his hand to the position where he had lie down not long ago, and not unexpectedly touched anything, but this action made Xu Jiu new discoveries.

The surface of the stone platform was shining brightly, but when he stretched his hand over, it was not reflected, and even the outline was invisible!

Short thoughts.

Xu Jiu quickly lay down on the stone platform like a toad, and then looked down at his chest.

Still found nothing.

The light cannot show his body!

The sudden abnormal change made Xu Jiu's heart frightened, but because he knew in advance that the awakening ceremony had begun, it wasn't too panic. It was just a change that should have occurred during the ceremony.

Since the ceremony has already started operation, besides the stone platform, will there be corresponding changes in the surrounding environment?

Xu Jiu turned around to look around.

Sure enough, the place that was originally dark is already covered by a large number of...

Xu Jiu doesn’t know how to describe those shapes, their shapes are extremely weird , There is no specific appearance, only the light gray outline printed on the dark curtain.

There are not many human figures, and the only two or three Taoists look a bit like the exaggerated human figures in the famous painting "Scream" in the past.

Most of them are indeterminate shapes, changing different shapes of mucus every second, but there are still mouths and eyes growing on their surfaces.

Of course, it is just a simple outline, Xu Jiu is not sure whether those organs are really useful.

Turning around and sitting cross-legged, Xu Jiu looked directly at the "alien" who was approaching him, waiting for more changes in them.

Until they came from all directions and gathered around the stone platform.

The various noises in Xu Jiu's ears began to converge in one place and merge into the same voice. The intonation gradually became longer and the voice became more and more distant.

Xu Jiu could not understand the meaning contained in it.

But he soon discovered that these "alien" also showed signs of merging, and the surrounding darkness also showed a little light in this brief moment, and the pure white brilliance was extremely obvious in the darkness.

It's just not as dazzling as imagined, but it gives people a dreamlike sense of illusion.

The spirit fell into a trance state, Xu Jiu realized that the most critical part of the awakening ceremony should be this stage.

With his powerful soul, he barely persisted in the chaotic state of mind, he saw a creature wearing a loose robe appeared in that white light.

'It’s no wonder that people in the Secret Society are called ancient sages, and this outfit does look a bit like this. '

Thinking about it, Xu Jiu always felt that something was wrong.

If the person in front of you said that he was a person from the era to which the relics of the special area belonged, how could he get involved with the evil curse?

From the description of Jing Shu and the characteristics of the occultist profession, this awakening ceremony is a bit of a curse, and the scene before him is undoubtedly beyond Xu Jiu's expectation.

Or is this just the beginning, and the inheritance of knowledge, or the awakening of the soul, will not really begin until one's own spirit has completely fallen into a trance?

Xu Jiu persisted for a while, but still could not see the full picture of that silhouette in the white light, so he chose to give up, lay back on the stone platform, relax his spirit, and let the awakening ceremony continue.

At this moment.

Suddenly the barking sound of malicious dogs!

Xu Jiu remembers this voice when his eyes just closed open.

The evil monster found it here!

Having the previous experience at home, Xu Jiu could not care about the awakening ceremony, and immediately began to prepare to fight against the evil spirits coming from the raid.

However, this time the evil spirits are clearly here.

The process of awakening ceremony undoubtedly brought Xu Jiu's soul into a very special state to some extent. Before the sage crystal had time to resist, the evil invasion had already arrived.

D~D~D~

The alarm sounded throughout the main control room, and the occultists who surrounded the stone disk lifted the head in surprise, looking towards the other side A half-person-height mechanical instrument.

This machine is not created by modern technology, but a special creation excavated from a relic like a stone disk.

Its function is very simple. It detects the psionic state in a specific area, and the alarm at this moment means that the psychic in the ceremony field is running away.

The appearance of this state of generally speaking means that the awakening ceremony has failed. They have to rush in and rescue the person immediately, otherwise the soul of the person involved will completely collapse.

The problem is that the operation of the stone disk shows that the awakening ceremony is proceeding very smoothly, and there are no accidents at all.

This kind of contradictory anomaly has never appeared before, and the occultists present were at a loss for a while.
