Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 41 Ritual Experiment
"My fucking bill."

Above the gray fog, Klein, who was sitting at the top of the bronze hall, cursed. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but think.

That was reimbursed to the Church of Night, not paid by me.

After taking a look at the Henry Detective Agency stamp on the receipt that Star presented to him, Klein glanced at the number at the end of the receipt and sighed:

"Star is really rich. This is almost equivalent to my salary for a week and a half."

Thinking that all these would be reimbursed by the captain tomorrow, he no longer felt envious. Instead, he hoped that the captain would just forget for a moment, otherwise he would have to pay for his subordinates' investigation expenses.

Then again, how was he supposed to take the receipt and his Nighthawk badge down with him?

Klein thought of various plans in his mind, but found that due to his lack of knowledge in mysticism, he could not think of any solution.

The bestowal ceremony required him to respond on the gray fog himself, but what about the consumption of those spiritual materials?
The summoning ceremony he had performed earlier for the messenger had already used up this month's quota of materials...

And Star only taught Klein the sacrifice ceremony and the bestowal ceremony. What should he do if he doesn't use the sacrifice ceremony to bring the things down?
But I'm going to need this badge at work tomorrow, uh, and the receipt...

He couldn't possibly say to the captain:

Please chant the name of this evil god and perform the ceremony, and he will give you a receipt to be reimbursed...

With no other options, Klein had to look towards the crimson star that represented the Wheel of Fortune.

Senior Star, please help me.

After all, it was you who suggested it, and I really don’t know what to do.

This novice village "mentor".

……

On his part, Star listened to Klein's foul language, feeling satisfied that his "mumbling patient" had made some progress in digesting the words.

Looking at the candle that had not yet gone out, he was just about to say that Klein, who was not a "clown", was still not good enough in cultivating his Qi.

The scene changed, and Star found himself being pulled above the gray fog.

Surprised, he thought Klein was going to hold him, the "Follower," accountable for his disrespect for the "Fool."

No way, Xiao Ke, you can't afford to have fun like this?

After Klein told him about his current predicament, Star realized that it was his own negligence.

Currently, Klein was still a novice in mysticism, even more ignorant than himself.

I have no idea about the ritual of summoning myself, so that I can bring miscellaneous items around in the spirit state like in the original story.

However, Stata subconsciously believed that Xiao Ke had already mastered the use of the gray fog as a storage space.

As for the spiritual materials needed to hold the sacrificial ceremony.

Now Old Neil has not told Klein about the Dragon Bar as a channel to obtain materials.

And even if Star told Klein now, Klein might not have the money.

He bought a suit right after receiving his salary, plus other miscellaneous expenses...

As for the materials, he applied to the Night Watcher in the name of studying...

What's more, even if I lend him money now, it's so late and he may not be able to buy it at the Dragon Bar.

As for telling Xiao Ke to use human blood as spiritual material, forget it. I am not a devil...

After Star figured out the problem, he looked at Klein, who was covered in gray mist, with a strange expression on his face and said:

"So, you want me to sacrifice some spiritual materials to you?"

"There is no other way but to take emergency measures."

Klein was now very thankful that this empty bronze hall had a masking function, otherwise he would have found it difficult to face his fellow villager in his current shameful state.

Star thought about it and suddenly had some funny ideas:
"Okay, five pounds."

"Ah?" The smile on Klein's face quickly disappeared and shifted to Star's face.

He suddenly felt as if someone hit him on the head, and the entire bronze hall seemed to be affected by something and shook slightly.

"No, you only gave me five pounds when I lent it to you."

If that's the way it's calculated, then wouldn't I be getting it for free?
And I have already spent the money, and now I really have no money...

"It was just a joke, but you took it seriously."

Star smiled. Although Xiao Ke would definitely report the five-pound annual fee of the Divination Club to Captain Dunn for reimbursement, how could he be so unscrupulous as to raise the price?

Xiao Ke can't afford it...

Star quickly spoke of his real thoughts and discussed with Klein the experiment he wanted to do.

After saying all this, Star laughed and said:
"I will send you the relevant stuff later."

"That's all for today. We'll talk again when we have time."

So Klein cooperated with Star to cut off the connection with the crimson star that symbolized the "Wheel of Fortune". Then, only Klein was left in the gray fog, looking at Star's crimson star and muttering to himself:
"Is this okay?"

After a few seconds, he retracted his gaze, and the yellow-brown parchment written by Star appeared in front of him:
“Light a candle to symbolize yourself;”

“Use spiritual walls to create a holy environment;”

"Drop full moon essential oil, chamomile hydrosol, deep sleep flower powder and other materials into the candle flame (Note: In this step, you don't need to be too particular, because you are summoning yourself);"

"Recite the following mantra:"

"I! (Ancient Hermetic, Giant, Dragon, Elven, must be shouted)"

"I call upon my name (Hermes):"

"The Fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious master above the gray fog, the King of Yellow and Black who controls good luck."

……

After carefully reviewing it, Klein recalled the methods and techniques of pendulum divination that Old Neil had taught him today.

Write the divination statement at the bottom:
"It is dangerous to perform the above rituals in the outside world."

It's not that he doesn't trust Sta. After all, Sta has assured him that there will be no problems with the ceremony. At most, it will consume more of his spiritual energy.

However, he was cautious and worried that if something went wrong, he would be implicated.

A qualified fortune teller should make good use of his abilities.

Huh, he exhaled, put down the pen, and materialized the yellow crystal pendant needed for pendulum divination, holding it in his left hand.

When the topaz pendant was quietly suspended above the parchment, just about to touch the divination sentence, he gathered his thoughts and entered a state of meditation.

"It is dangerous to perform the above rituals in the outside world."

"It is dangerous to perform the above rituals in the outside world."

……

After reciting it silently seven times, Klein opened his eyes and saw the topaz pendant rotating counterclockwise.

This means negation, which means no danger!

"You can give it a try."

Star said: If this experiment is successful, he will no longer need to perform sacrificial rituals and bestowal rituals and can freely bring some things from the gray fog.

And this means that he no longer has to pay for spiritual materials.

Of course, the things that Klein materialized couldn’t be taken down from the gray fog...

Otherwise, he would have imagined a lot of gold coins in the gray fog...
