Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

"Pray... Hey, hello, Moses, Moses, can you hear me now?"

"Hey, hello, hello, Moses, Moses, can you hear me now?"

"Fuck, I really heard this again, I'm going to call myself on the phone..."

Hearing the echo in her brain again, Dorothy couldn't help complaining in her heart, but after this experiment, Dorothy had almost determined what the key word that triggered the echo was.

That is "prayer".

Afterwards, Dorothy conducted several more experiments, and was finally sure that the word pray could trigger such a phenomenon in her brain as an echo.

Why does this happen?

Dorothy just thought about it carefully, and then she had a rough guess in her mind. There was only one thing that could speak in her mind.

'The system...were you the one who spoke just now? '

'confirm. '

Sure enough, it was the system, and only this thing could speak in her own mind. After confirming that the echo of the previous words was caused by the system, Dorothy was relieved a lot. At least she could be sure that she was not mentally disturbed due to an overdose of poison... ...But the system's answer made Dorothy have more doubts for a while.

Why is the system able to interpret the word "prayer" and what does it mean to say prayer?

Suddenly, Dorothy had an idea, the system that she traveled through could connect to the knowledge of other worlds, and she could directly extract spirituality from the knowledge. No matter how you think about it, it is also a high-level personality, so can it answer prayers?

If the system can act as a guide, wouldn't the immediate problem be solved?

With this in mind, Dorothy continued to ask the system.

'System, are you able to receive prayers?Can you act as a promotion guide? '

'Confirmation, can act as an agent to receive and relay prayers, can act as an agent to guide gifts...'

The system replied, listening to the words of the system, Dorothy began to analyze the meaning of this passage... According to the system, it was actually receiving prayers for herself and relaying them to her mind. The phenomenon is actually that a few words I casually said were recited as prayers?

There is also the gift of guidance... The gift is actually equal to the existence of divinity as a guide for mortals?

After confirming this point, Dorothy frowned slightly, and now she began to wonder what was going on with the system that accompanied her through time travel?

It is impossible for anything in this world to exist for no reason, even this system, which should be closely related to one's time travel.

After thinking about it for a while, Dorothy was still ready to make up her mind to ask.

'System, what on earth are you...?Or what is your essence? '

After Dorothy finished asking, due to previous experience, she did not expect the system to answer, but this time, the system spoke, and it answered a word in a whisper-like voice.

'interface'

Chapter 43 Ceremony

"interface?"

Sitting at the table, Dorothy couldn't help feeling puzzled when she heard the reply from the system in her brain. She couldn't help but rubbed her temples and began to think.

'interface?The essence of this system is the interface?What does it mean?What is the link what interface ah?Hey, system, can you clarify what is going on with this so-called interface? '

Dorothy continued to ask the system in her brain, but this time the system did not give any answer, and Dorothy found herself asking a lonely question.

After changing several sentence patterns and asking questions to the system but to no avail, Dorothy temporarily gave up the idea of ​​tracing the essence of the system and focused on the most important thing right now, which was the promotion ceremony.

After knowing that the system has the function of relaying prayers and guiding gifts, a thought also spontaneously surfaced in her mind.

"Maybe... you can try it out, it just so happens that tomorrow is the weekend..."

While muttering, Dorothy finished the mysterious research for tonight and put the contraband on the table into her schoolbag. After Dorothy changed into her pajamas, she turned off the lights and went to sleep.

After a night of deep sleep, Dorothy woke up in the bright sunshine in the morning, got out of bed, rubbed her eyes and opened the door. Dorothy did not see Greg in the living room because She was up two hours later than usual this morning because of no classes, so Greg had gone to work.

In the current era of the world, the concept of weekends hardly exists, and many jobs are done throughout the year, and it is impossible to take holidays except for religious festivals.As for Greg, due to the particularity of his work, his working hours are not fixed. Sometimes he goes out very late and comes back very early, sometimes he doesn’t come back for several nights, and sometimes he can be free for a whole day. Dorothy knew that his working hours depended largely on when he had assignments.

Due to the shadow of religion, many schools have one day off every weekend according to the myth that the savior of light used 6 days to save the world and 1 day off.

As for Dorothy's St. Amanda's School, since Aldrich himself belongs to the education reformist, he not only recruited female students in the school at the forefront of the times, but also added some science and technology courses to this traditional school. In the grammar school, an extra day off was added to the weekend on the grounds of increasing students' extracurricular practice time and opportunities to go home and visit relatives, allowing Dorothy to enjoy the weekend perfectly.

Therefore, Dorothy also decided not to live up to the principal's expectations, and take advantage of this Saturday to do some "extracurricular practical activities".

After washing up, Dorothy ate the breakfast that had been on the coffee table for a while, then changed into casual clothes and went out with her bag on her back. After getting into a carriage downstairs, she went straight to the market.

After getting off the carriage, Dorothy directly entered the market, and purchased materials according to the pre-drawn notes. Dorothy went to the luxury store in the commercial street to make up for the rest. After paying 15 pounds, Dorothy took the shopping all the way to the western suburb of Igwent and came to a small forest.

This forest used to be very large a long time ago, and some of the prey were used as hunting grounds, but the prey had already been wiped out. Due to the expansion of the city, the forest here was cut down in large quantities, and now only A little bit, so there is no value in continuing to cut down, but there is still a former lumberjack hut in the forest. A year ago, the murderer of the murder case hid the body in it. After the police relied on evidence to capture the murderer The body was found only by identification.

Dorothy passed by here on her way to and from school, and all this information was obtained by Dorothy and the coachman during their daily bragging on the road, and now Dorothy just needs a hidden place.

Getting off the car at a fishing spot by the river one kilometer away from the grove, Dorothy walked all the way into the grove wearing a cloak, and then went deep all the way, and it didn't take long to find the lumberjack hut in the forest.

That's right, Dorothy plans to be promoted here. Due to Greg's status, she dare not hold a secret ceremony at home, and if she is in other hidden corners of the city, she is also afraid that she will run into the Crimson Communion. And there were murder bodies hidden here not so long ago, and if there were people here at the Communion there would be no bodies...not even murderers.

Stepping on the fallen grass blades, Dorothy entered the cabin. The light was dim and empty, and there was a rotten smell in the air. Dorothy didn't care about the place where the corpses were hidden before. , and immediately began to arrange the ceremony.

"Smoky lime powder... redwood sawdust... Xiangye grass..."

Opening the schoolbag, Dorothy mixed the ore powder she bought with wood chips and grass foam evenly. According to the pattern on the left page, the auxiliary tool used the mixed powder to draw a simple circular magic circle, and then dotted six sticks around it. Candles, three small copper incense burners are placed around the candles, which are filled with expensive incense bought from luxury stores and shipped from the New World.

After the lingering aroma began to form the diffuse house, Dorothy began the final step of the ritual preparations, drawing a spiritual symbol to connect with herself in the center of the circle.

After pricking her finger with a needle, Dorothy added a drop of blood to the remaining powder, and after stirring, she began drawing spiritual symbols with the powder.

In the secret biography given by Aldrich, all spiritual symbols are recorded.

The symbol of "lamp" is a scepter erected vertically. At the top of the scepter, there are eight evenly arranged lines radiating to the surroundings to guide the light, just like a bright lamp emitting light on the top of a scepter. It seems that the top of the rod is the sun.

The symbol of "shadow" is a curved knife, the blade is bent into a perfect width, just like a new moon in the night sky.

Needless to say, the symbol of the "cup" is an ancient wine glass with a big top, a closed belly, and a small bottom. An inverted triangle symbol is painted on the wine glass.

The symbol of "stone" is not a gem, ore, hammer, chisel or the like, but a gold coin, a gold coin marked with a regular triangle.

The symbol of "sabi" is very simple, it is a closed eye.

The symbol of "Qi" is also simple, which is an open eye.

What Dorothy was going to hold was the "Revelation" ceremony, so she carefully drew an open eye in the center of the circle, the symbol of "Revelation".

After everything was ready, Dorothy put the things in her hands aside, then knelt on the magic circle, in front of the "Enlightenment" symbol.

Then Dorothy began to say the spell silently.

"I swear to pursue this way...worship this principle...explore the map and know the sea...seek all the principles...I will be the compass...for the track..."

Dorothy lowered her head and murmured in a low voice. Her murmurs echoed in the small space, as if they were stirring something, making the fluttering white smoke swirl around the magic circle, making the candles flicker and flicker.

Slowly, Dorothy finished chanting the mantra, and she began to pray.

"I would like to step on the path of "enlightenment", but the road ahead is turbid. I pray here and ask all the great divinities in the world to clear away the clouds and mists for me, and name the path..."

Dorothy finished praying, but there was an echo of her own words in her head.

"Pray to all the great divinities in the world, clear away the clouds and mists for me, and show me the way..."

After the echo ended, something like an option dialog box popped up in front of Dorothy's eyes.

"Received the initial guidance application, do you agree with the guidance?"

Looking at the dialog box in front of her, the corners of Dorothy's mouth twitched slightly, and she clicked to confirm with her mind.

Chapter 44 The Master

After Dorothy confirmed her prayer points, the dialog-like thing suddenly disappeared, and then there was a sudden change in the surrounding environment.

In the originally calm and peaceful house, a small whirlwind suddenly blew up out of thin air. The originally flickering candles were blown out in an instant, the lingering smoke was blown away, and the outer circle of the magic circle drawn by ashes was blown into The regular spread spiraled, and the cloak on Dorothy's body also rustled for a while, but the symbol of "Enlightenment" drawn in the center of the magic circle remained unchanged.

The wind blowing from the ground lasted for a moment and then stopped immediately. When the wind stopped, the candles were extinguished, the incense was not burned, and the magic circle drawn by the dust was blown away, and Dorothy was kneeling Standing up slowly in the magic circle, at this moment, her eyes are clear and her thoughts are like a scene.

"Is this the Extraordinary?"

Looking at her hands, Dorothy murmured that she had clearly felt the changes in herself.

Now Dorothy feels that her thinking is unprecedentedly clear and clear, her attention can be easily concentrated and diverged, her mental power has been greatly improved, her whole body is refreshed, and her mind has never been so clear.

"This is the apprentice-level Extraordinary of the path of 'Enlightenment', named 'Awareness'...Compared to the 'cup' that strengthens my vitality and body, 'Enlightenment' strengthens my spiritual power and thinking power..."

After the promotion ended, Dorothy knew the name of her current rank and its corresponding ability as if she had been inspired.

"Now, you can experiment a little..."

Dorothy smiled and said to herself that she, who had just been promoted to Extraordinary, wanted to verify her extraordinaryness, but when she put on the hood and walked out of the room handsomely with a smile, she suddenly thought of something She glanced back at the remaining ceremony scene behind her, then ran back disheveledly and took the newly bought small broom and shovel from her bag to start cleaning.

After spending half a day finally cleaning up the traces of the ceremony at the scene, the tired Dorothy wiped the sweat from her forehead, and couldn't help complaining in her heart.

"Phew... the first thing after becoming an Extraordinary is physical labor... This damn 'comprehensive person' doesn't add any physical strength at all..."

After cleaning up the ceremony site, Dorothy quickly left the grove, and after walking for a kilometer, she came to the fishing spot by the river. Tired and out of breath, she finally got into the carriage and returned to the city of Igwent all the way. within.

Through the window of the carriage, Dorothy looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the roadside and the dazzling billboards. Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a bookstore. Bo's tap dance teacher found a quiet and unoccupied seat and sat there.

Dorothy looked at the book quietly on the seat, focusing on nature naturally, no different from other people who came to the bookstore to read books, except...the super fast page-turning speed in her hand.

A page full of words, Dorothy glanced at it seven or eight times and immediately turned it over, and then it was almost the same speed. At first glance, she looked like she was flipping through the book for fun... But in fact She read everything on every page, which is one of the extraordinary abilities she acquired.

The "knowledgeable person" has a thinking and spiritual power beyond ordinary people, which can bring a strong learning ability. When reading, he can read ten lines at a glance, can greatly reduce the time for studying, and can easily understand the contents of books. .

In just half an hour, Dorothy finished reading the entire collection of poems, and then she closed her eyes and recalled the content of the book, and almost wrote down everything verbatim. Recalling the pedestrians and billboards on the side of the road that she saw in the carriage when she came here, she can still remember the content on the billboards and the appearance of the pedestrians, and even remember every movement and demeanor of them clearly. Every hair and every wrinkle on the old man's face is close in front of his eyes, as if a super-clear image that can be retrieved and watched in his mind at any time.

This is the powerful short-term memory brought by the "knowledgeable person". Basically, Dorothy can memorize everything she sees, hears and writes down in detail for half a day. After the memory time limit is exceeded, those brought by the ability Memories that are too detailed will gradually be forgotten over time, but it is also possible to take the time to individually strengthen the memory of a certain period of time and let it be preserved for a long time.

"I feel like this is the exclusive ability of Xueba..."

Dorothy murmured, then put the book in her hand back on the bookshelf, then she walked out of the bookstore slowly, took a carriage to the dock area.

Arriving at the noisy dock area, Dorothy put on the hood on the car, and then drove all the way to a warehouse in the smelly air. After stopping in front of the compartment she rented, Dorothy used the key Opened the compartment door.

After entering it and closing the door, Dorothy set her sights on several long boxes placed in the center, and then she opened one of them with a key, and activated the corpse puppet ring in her hand.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar figure lifted the lid of the long "coffin" and stood up from it. This was Edric who hadn't seen him for a long time.

After throwing away the sacramental people by jumping into the river that day, Dorothy controlled Edric who jumped into the river to swim to the bottom of the river, hooked the abandoned machinery deposited on the bottom of the river with the hook prepared in advance, and kept it from floating Get up, and then Dorothy came back the next night in the dark to control the recovery. During the recovery, she specially controlled Edric to crawl on the bottom of the river to the upper reaches of the river, and landed on a beach that was hidden and uninhabited.

The reason for Pauling Edrick is that at that time, Dorothy was the only human corpse that could be manipulated. If it was gone, it might be inconvenient to do anything in the future, but now Dorothy came here to manipulate him, It's for an experiment.

Seeing the pale, dull, and silent Edric in front of her, Dorothy raised her fingers, and with a thought, she injected a little "enlightenment" spirituality into the corpse puppet ring.

Immediately afterwards, Dorothy felt that her thinking was more closely connected with the puppet ring, and the spiritual thread connected to Edric became much thicker in an instant.

Then, with a thought in Dorothy's mind, Edric, who was a corpse, immediately started to move and tap danced on the spot, which was exactly what Dorothy had just read in the book.

In the quiet and dark space, Edric was dancing, his footsteps alternated and his figure leaped. The sound of leather shoes kicking echoed continuously in the space. His movements were natural, not like a dead corpse at all, just like a real person.

Immediately afterwards, Dorothy waved his hand, and Edric began to change other movements. He first did a set of radio gymnastics that the times called, and then performed a front somersault and a back somersault, scratching his head and pretending to be a monkey Wang, his expressions were all in place, and in the end there was a Thomas maneuver with his hands on the ground, and the difficulty was getting higher and higher.

Finally, Dorothy made Edric stand up straight in front of her, and then spoke softly.

"Hello, Mr. Grundy."

Listening to Dorothy's words, Edric smiled slightly, knelt down on one knee towards Dorothy with a natural expression, and said with his hand on his chest.

"At your command, Miss Messhouse."

Chapter 45 Preparation

Looking at Edric who was kneeling on one knee and solemnly swearing in front of his eyes, he nodded in satisfaction. Edric's current performance has surpassed the scope of ordinary corpse puppets, and his performance is no different from that of a living person. All because of the new abilities Dorothy gained after her promotion.

Now Dorothy can strengthen her control over the corpse puppet ring by consuming the spirituality of "Enlightenment", which can greatly improve her control over the corpse puppets, and can control them to make all kinds of delicate things that were impossible in the past. She can even control the corpse puppets to speak, and in the case of consuming more "Qi", she can also increase the upper limit of the number of corpse puppets that can be controlled by the corpse puppet ring in a short period of time.

Strengthening the mind and spirit, which in turn leads to an increase in control, is the characteristic possessed by the Extraordinary of "Enlightenment", and such additional strengthening is also costly.

In order to keep the corpse puppet at a high level of control that can speak, Dorothy needs to inject an additional point of "Enlightenment" into the corpse puppet ring, and then the state of such a high control level can be maintained for a day. If you want to improve the corpse puppet To control the upper limit of the number requires more "Qi".

If this goes on for a long time, the spirituality of "Enlightenment" will definitely not be enough, but the changes brought about by promotion are also reflected in the storage of spirituality.

After being promoted to a master, Dorothy's original 10 points of "enlightenment" spirituality changed. They were precipitated from 10 points of "reserved spirituality" to 5 points of "inherent spirituality".

The stored spirituality is gone after being consumed, while the inherent spirituality can be slowly restored through rest.

For example, for Dorothy, the spirituality of "Enlightenment" has already begun to be transformed into blue bars and MP. Now Dorothy has 5 points of "Enlightenment" spirituality that can be automatically restored, but the upper limit is at most Can only reply to 5 o'clock.

As for the other spirits in Dorothy other than "Enlightenment", it is still the same, it is to store the spirit, use a little less, and correspondingly, Extraordinary people of other paths will also convert the matching spirit into the inherent spirit, such as hunger and thirst The player has 5 inherent "cups".

Looking at the corpse puppet ring in her hand, and at Edric in front of her, Dorothy smiled slightly, thinking that the time was ripe for her to take the initiative to find trouble with the Holy Communion.

"The next step is to do some preparatory work. This time... we have to leave them with some injuries..."
