Chapter 107 Summoning Taboo, the Opportunity Has Arrived (13)

1524, December 9.

Tianchuan City is located in the hinterland of Donghong State and is the capital of Tianchuan Province.

Here is the most extensive plain in the entire Donghong Kingdom. It is humid and hot, but it nourishes the fertile land.

In an old residential building, mosquitoes and ants were flying around, and even in this autumn, the air felt sticky and damp.

"Dad, I'm ready to go out!"

A girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old was struggling to stuff things into a large luggage bag. A gentle middle-aged man with glasses beside her smiled and advised:

"Tuantuan, you must be careful when you go on an outing with your classmates. Did you hear me?"

"I know, I know!" Wei Tuantuan waved his hands excitedly and asked casually, "Where is the amulet that Sister Xiaoqi gave me? Why can't I find it?"

"Here it is."

Wei Shu handed a crystal amulet to Wei Tuantuan, who took it and seemed to remember something, and asked:

"By the way, Dad, why hasn't Sister Xiaoqi come to see me for a long time? Counting, it must have been five or six years since the last time she came!"

"Your cousin works in the capital, how can she have the time to come to Tianchuan to see you?"

Wei Tuantuan pouted:
"Guodu and Tianchuan are not far away. It only takes a few hours to get there by plane. Dad, why have I never met my uncle and other cousins? I remember hearing from Xiaoqi that I have seven cousins in total!"

"Children should not ask about adult matters!"

"Tsk, if you don't want to ask, then don't ask. I'll go to the capital to go to university then!"

Wei Shu suddenly turned his head, a serious look on his face:
"Wei Tuantuan, in this life, as long as I am alive and I am not lying in the coffin, you are not allowed to set foot in the capital!"

The girl was obviously startled. It was the first time in 16 years that she saw her father so serious.
A gentle woman came out from the inner room and said with a smile:
"Okay, Tuantuan, don't ask why. Just listen to your dad. Have you packed your things?"

She approached, casually flipped through the bag, and curiously picked up a bronze statue:
"Tuan Tuan, what is this?"

The appearance of the statue is very strange. The left half of the statue is carved into the shape of a fog ball, and the right half is a person with big wings carrying a cross, who seems to be crying or sighing.

"This."

Wei Tuantuan said nonchalantly:

"I bought it from the antique shop at the end of the street. Uncle Li said it has something to do with the mysterious and extraordinary things in legends!"

Wei Shu said unhappily:

"Don't be so mysterious. I'll add one more thing. As long as I'm not dead and lying in the coffin, don't even think about applying for ancient mysticism in college!"

"Why!"

Wei Tuantuan was a little anxious.

"Because I am your father!" Wei Shu patted the girl's head, picked up the bronze statue, looked at it, and said casually:

"Girl, how much money have you been defrauded of by Mr. Li in the antique shop over the years? You still haven't learned your lesson. Hmm?"

He frowned slightly, thinking that the bronze statue looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
But considering that it was something sold by that old liar Lao Li, he didn't take it seriously and stuffed it back into the luggage bag:

"Don't spend all your time studying those weird rituals by yourself. When the evil spirit finds you, you will know that you are in trouble!"

"See! You admit it! There really is an evil spirit!" Wei Tuantuan suddenly became excited.

Wei Shu was speechless. He was too lazy to argue with this damn girl and pushed her out of the door in a bad mood.
"Go on your outing! Remember to spray more floral water when you camp at night, and get along better with your classmates!"

"I know, I know!" Wei Tuantuan rushed downstairs excitedly.

Walking to the window and watching his daughter's figure going away, Wei Shu sighed softly and said worriedly:
"Why does this kid like the occult so much? I shouldn't have let Xiao Qi come to see her in the first place."

"How can you blame others, Xiaoqi?" Mother Wei said with a smile: "Speaking of which, how is Xiaoqi doing recently? Among your nephews and nieces, this child is the only one you are close to. I haven't seen him for several years."

Wei Shu's expression dimmed a little:
"I heard the situation is not good. My eldest brother is starting a seven-son fight, and it's almost in the final stage. There's news that, except for the seventh son, the other children have already started to do whatever they can."

"How could this happen?" Mother Wei was obviously a little worried: "I remember your eldest brother, he was somewhat humane. When I was pregnant with Tuantuan, he let us leave the capital."

Wei Shu shook his head:
"I don't understand it, and I don't want to understand it. I am just a commoner now, and I just want to be a commoner, an ordinary citizen."

As he spoke, he changed the subject, glared, and rolled up his sleeves:
"We are just ordinary people. Our daughter has been cheated. We need to seek redress. I'm going to the antique shop to find trouble with that bastard Li Rongen!"

………………

"Let's go, let's go!"

Wei Tuantuan said excitedly to the two girls of similar age:

"An old castle on the outskirts of the city! I told my dad that we were going to camp on the mountain south of the city. Hehe, he never expected that we would take such a long detour to go to the old castle!"

The girl with long black hair teased:

"Okay, you're the smartest. I really don't understand why your dad won't let you go to the castle."

"The devil knows!"

Wei Tuantuan curled his lips:

"My dad has been acting crazy. Did you bring all your stuff?"

"Bring it!"

The man with long black hair took out a piece of parchment and a pen and said with a smile:
"This is an ancient ritual I saw on a mysterious forum. It is said to be from the old times before the divine calendar. It can communicate with a mysterious creature called the Pen Fairy!"

"Things from the old days are all fake, don't you know that?" Another girl wearing glasses said disdainfully:
"You still have to look at me!" She took out a mirror:
"This is a ritual recorded in textbooks. Performing the ritual in front of a mirror at 10 o'clock at night can summon the legendary primal fear!"

"Tsk, I've tried this a long time ago, it doesn't work!" Wei Tuantuan pouted.

The girl with glasses was a little unconvinced:

"You definitely can't do it at home. This time we're going to the tower at the top of the castle. The forum says that it's the most spiritual place in the entire Tianchuan City! It will definitely work!"

After a pause, she raised her head and said:

"Tuan Tuan, what about you this time? Where did you find this mysterious ritual?"

Wei Tuantuan carefully opened the bag and took out the bronze statue mysteriously, saying proudly:
"Look! The True Shepherd!"

The girl with long black hair and glasses looked at the statue and looked at each other in bewilderment:

"What is this? Real Shepherd. Sounds familiar."

"Have you forgotten?"

Wei Tuantuan holding the bronze statue:

"That's the real shepherd recorded in the Horror Atlas we picked up earlier!"

"That's not very good of you."

The girl with glasses said with disdain:
"My Primal Fear ranks fifth in the atlas. The atlas says that except for the top five, the other horror taboos are in no particular order. Yours is just the popular version, and mine ranks fifth among all horror taboos!"

Wei Tuantuan muttered:

"That's better than some pen fairy!"

Black Long Straight rolled his eyes.

The three of them took a taxi and soon arrived at the ancient castle on the outskirts of the city. The owner of the castle was very mysterious and few people in the entire Tianchuan City had ever seen him.
But on that mysterious forum established by many supernatural enthusiasts, a big shot said that this castle is a truly supernatural place!

The three of them found a piece of open space, spread out a tablecloth, and had a picnic while playing around. After the sun went down, the three fanatical supernatural enthusiasts approached the castle in a stealthy manner.

"Climb over the wall at the back and sneak in! There's a big black dog at the front door!"

The three little girls climbed over the low wall and sneaked into the castle under the moonlight. The castle was very fortified and had no modern facilities. It was still lit by candlelight and looked no different from the castles on TV.

"It seems like there's no one here? Let's go up the stairs quietly!" Wei Tuantuan said softly, tiptoeing along the spiral staircase with his bag on his back.

The result was surprisingly smooth. The three of them didn't even encounter a ghost and went all the way to the tallest tower of the castle.

After entering the tower, Hei Longstra glanced at his phone.

【1524年9月7日，21点47分】

She glanced sideways and whispered:

"You can start preparing now. The mysterious forum said that from 10pm to 12pm is the time when spirituality is at its highest here."

On the side, Wei Tuantuan added:

"Don't go past midnight. I saw a post on a mysterious forum saying that midnight on the 8th of every month is the time when the legendary old parliament convenes. It is disrespectful to hold a ceremony at this time."

The girl with glasses spoke curiously:
"The Old Council? I seem to have seen relevant information on a mysterious forum. Isn't this a super cult organization? So what if it's disrespectful?"

"What do you know!" Wei Tuantuan groaned, "I heard that this council is super scary and is also the top secret organization in the extraordinary world."

Soon, the three girls began to arrange their own ceremonies.

The man with long black hair held the pen and drew circles on the parchment:
"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, obey my call"

The girl with glasses lit four candles in front of the mirror, checked the ritual process on her phone, and sprinkled silver powder distressedly:

"The legendary primordial fear, you wander in the darkness, growing out of the shadows, you are on the mountains, and in the wheat fields, you are..."

Wei Tuantuan carefully placed the small statue of a real shepherd and recited the prayer while recalling it:
“You are the end of the suffering on the cross, the source of all fog, the chaos of uncertainty, and the true shepherd of all lost lambs.”

"You are sleeping in the eternal void. It is time to wake up, wake up today and at this moment. The world is waiting for your arrival."

"In the name of Wei Tuantuan"

………………

The master bedroom of the castle.

"Three top-quality blood foods came in. Interesting. This is the first time I've seen blood foods delivered to my door."

The one-armed young man slowly opened his eyes, put on a tall wizard hat, and walked out holding his staff.

"Donghong Country is a really good place. The blood food is delivered to your door. It's much better than the Great City!"

………………

Eternal silence and emptiness.

The terrifying figure opened his eyes. He had just heard the call.

Although the call was faint, it still established a vague and hazy 'beacon' and 'anchor'.

“The opportunity has arrived.”
