my life in japan

Chapter 110 Ceremony
One person and one cat slipped in naturally without disturbing the people inside.

Due to the use of dark spiritual power, as long as you don't look in the direction of Shimen, you won't see any movement.

Unlike the moonlight outside, there are quite a lot of lights inside.

They are all oil lamps.So, while not quite as dark as the outside, it was dim enough.

But that's just right, Mizukawao's "Shadow Step" is meant to be used in dark places.

In the daytime, it is more helpless, and can only use dark spiritual power to create a dark shadow area.It's a waste of spiritual power and a waste of mind.The current situation here is exactly what Mizukawao likes.

I don’t know why villains like to use dim candles in their secret rooms. Is this some kind of convention?

Behind the stone gate is a downward passage, which looks quite long, and Mizukawa goes down with Xiao Hei with footwork.

In such a closed environment as the stone chamber, every sound was particularly noticeable.Mizukawa could hear trampling footsteps coming from ahead.

It seems... that middle-aged man... is wearing clogs?

Makes such a loud sound, thank you so much...

Keeping a certain distance from the source of the sound, Mizukawao finally heard the sound suddenly become much quieter.

It may be that the middle-aged man walked into a large room, and the sound was absorbed by the room, creating a phenomenon.

Thinking of this, Mizukawao quickened his pace and walked down.

Sure enough, at the source, there is a large room.

Mizukawa huddled in the corner, staring inside.

When he saw the figure of the middle-aged man with his back to this side, he immediately quickened his pace and slipped into a corner of the room in a few seconds.

The agility attribute of 76 is no joke!
On the left and right sides of the stone steps that come in, there is only one candle lamp separated by a certain distance.

In it, only the middle is lit, and it's a bonfire.

Mizukawao saw a lot of wood piled up in a certain corner, and there was some kind of liquid beside it, probably fuel.

In the room, there are wooden shelves everywhere, and there is also a desk.

There are books, bottles and cans on the wooden shelves, and a lot of miscellaneous things.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man seemed to be ready and crawled towards the campfire.

The middle-aged man has a pious expression, and there are all kinds of strange things around him.In front of the middle-aged man, there were two bones, and Mizukawa couldn't tell what kind of bones they were.

In front of the bones is a bonfire, and behind the bonfire, there is a stone sculpture.

That stone sculpture looks like a fox...

While maintaining a prostrate posture, the middle-aged man muttered words.

It's just because the male voice is thicker, and the voice is too small, almost only the vibration of the throat.

Even someone like Mizukawa O, who has high nerves and strong hearing, can't hear clearly.

However, judging from the few words... it seems to be some kind of prayer...

Not long after, the middle-aged man stopped whispering and straightened his body, but his knees did not leave the ground.

He pulled out a small knife from his bosom and cut it on his own hand.A stream of blood flowed down and dripped on the two or three bones in front of the man.

It didn't take long for the blood to flow, and the middle-aged man pulled out the bandage from his arms, and wrapped it tightly around the injured arm in two or three strokes, his movements were smooth and smooth.

The bandage seemed to have medicinal properties, and the blood on the arm stopped quickly.

Then, the middle-aged man picked up a jar filled with white liquid next to him, and dripped a few drops of the white liquid on the bone.

This white liquid...it shouldn't be...

Then, he was seen picking up a vessel next to it, which was filled with red liquid, and poured it on it as well.

Mizukawao recognized what this was. Just now, the middle-aged man produced these liquids while preparing.On it was the blood of mice, birds, and frogs, and the color mixed together... was still red.

Although it was unbelievable, the middle-aged man was indeed handling these things with his hands, and his movements were very skillful.

Mizukawa sat in the corner and stared at the strange ritual in front of him, full of doubts.

Not long after, the middle-aged man took out a small stove, opened the top cover, stuffed the carcasses of the small animals on the side into it, and closed it.

The bottom of the small stove is ventilated.As for why you know?
Because Mizukawao saw it, the drops of blood dripping from below...

The middle-aged man put the stove on the bonfire and allowed it to burn fully, letting the smoke disperse, while he closed his eyes tightly and continued chanting.

It's like some kind of evil ritual!
'Such a troublesome ceremony, do you have to do it once a day? '

Just thinking about it, Mizukawa suddenly realized something.

Hastily made out the black air space, looked at the time displayed on the phone - it was already early in the morning.So, it's Sunday!
Thinking of the attitude of the middle-aged man waiting outside just now.

Mizukawao faintly felt that this was a ritual he would start every Sunday after 12 o'clock.It was such a coincidence that I bumped into him.

Time passed slowly amidst the middle-aged man's chanting, and the room was filled with the stench of burning protein.

It seems that there is a vent on the top of the head, but it should be because it is a bit far from the ground, and the ventilation effect is not very good.

Just when Shui Chuanwei estimated that the corpses of those small animals were almost burned, the stone fox statue actually produced white gas repeatedly out of thin air.

The white air floated to those few bones, entangled for a while, and was sucked into the body with the middle-aged man's breathing.

As soon as he sucked it in, the man seemed to know it. He used tools to move the hot stove, and then knelt down several times before getting up, putting the things back in place, tidying up, and then leaving towards the exit.

Mizukawao still didn't move, but let Xiao Hei follow him to see how the man opened the door from the inside.

On the other hand, he still needs to investigate. Mizukawao is very interested in the books on the wooden shelves in this secret room, especially the books and handwritten materials on the desk.

'Hojo Shin's body... definitely has something to do with this...'

No matter who sees such a weird ritual, and the caster is so proficient, he will inevitably think that the bad phenomena around the caster are caused by this.

"However, is there any benefit in weakening Hojo Shin in this way..."

Not long after, Shuichuanwei heard the sound of stones being cut and bumped from outside—it was the middle-aged man leaving.

Mizukawao stood up and found that the smoke was quite heavy. It wasn't that serious when he was squatting on the ground just now, but now he feels very sick.Fortunately, Xiao Hei ran away so he didn't have to suffer with him.

'Got to do a quick search'

Just do it as soon as you think of it. Mizukawao has always been a person who dares to act when he thinks of it. He immediately started flipping through the information on the wooden shelf.

The above records seem to be the preferences of some kind of god, and there are some materials to be prepared.In the list of materials, Mizukawa also saw Seiye on it...

It seems that the bottle of white liquid I saw before is really the essence of that middle-aged man...

Searching and searching, Mizukawao couldn't find any gods, and he didn't explain its function. It seems that it's just a valuable book for rituals.

Mizukawa left the wooden shelf and began to flip through the books and notes on the desk.

On the top, Mizukawao actually saw...
