Stealing the protagonist's chance at the beginning

After everything was ready, Xu Fei set up spiritual barriers around, then walked to the center of the array, ready to start the ceremony.

But just as the extraordinary power was about to be injected, Xu Fei's spiritual intuition suddenly reacted, faintly warning him.

The intensity of this feedback is very weak, almost imperceptible.

That is to say, Xu Fei is quite special, and his strength is far stronger than ordinary fourth-order transcendents, so he caught the slightest bit of inadequacy.

"something wrong?"

The spiritual warning of the extraordinary is much more reliable than the intuition of the blue star humans.

Xu Fei frowned, and immediately interrupted his actions.

His first reaction was that there was something wrong with his ritual arrangement.

However, after checking again, Xu Fei was sure that there was nothing wrong - he was still very confident in his accomplishments in extraordinary ceremonies.

"Could it be an illusion?"

Xu Fei walked to the center of the ceremony array again, and cautiously started the second attempt.

But exactly the same thing happened.

He just came up with this idea and was about to put it into action, when the extraordinary spirituality sent a warning again.Probably because he had expected it this time, the warning signal seemed to be stronger.

Chapter 526

"It's weird!"

Xu Fei looked a little suspicious, and chose to stop again.

He examined this ceremony for the third time. This time, he was not only comparing it with the formation diagram in the classics, but even using his own extraordinary knowledge to deliberate on this ceremony.

Is there a possibility that there is something wrong with the ceremony itself?

Or, was the author of this book negligent when writing it?

When it comes to high-end extraordinary knowledge, the possibility of this is very small, even close to impossible, but don't be afraid of [-], just in case!

"The ceremony itself complies with the rules."

"The embedding of the ritual is also a problem."

"It seems normal to involve the suppression of the relic's personality and the protection module for the host himself."

"Unless there is a problem with the direction of this ceremony!"

"However, if the disaster level pointed to is weird and wrong, then the ritual should not be able to find the target and cannot be activated. Why can I still have a premonition of danger?"

After thinking over and over again for a long time in front of this classic book and ritual array diagram, Xu Fei finally came to a conclusion.

No problem with the ceremony!

However, the conditions for holding the ceremony recorded in the classics are likely to be incomplete.It was the lack of that one, or those few preconditions, that caused loopholes in the supposedly complete ceremony, so that it was dangerous.

And the missing prerequisites are most likely in the few pages that were torn out!

Recalling the previous situation, Xu Fei's face darkened.

"Is this...someone deliberately tricking me? Or was it negligent when tearing out those pages, and didn't notice that a key piece of follow-up content was missing?"

If someone was cheating me, who would be the one who buried the pit?

Is it the original owner of this classic?Or... gave it to his own saint Li Kuan as a reward?

What is his purpose?If I performed the ceremony according to the description in the classics without realizing it, what would be the consequences?

A series of doubts came to mind.

After a long time, he made a judgment: This is most likely not a coincidence, but he came here on purpose!

"Li Kuan! Li Kuan!"

"Is it because of the fifth-order monster [real dream] and the secrets of the past?"

"Or...it has something to do with the fact that I found out about the Li family in Baili Mountain City?"

An even more terrifying guess came to Xu Fei's mind inadvertently.

When he first saw Li Kuan coming, he didn't think about it.After all, this is a high-ranking saint who is transcendent and unworldly, and he left Baili Mountain City decades ago.

It wasn't until he found out that the ancient book presented by Li Kuan himself might harbor evil intentions that Xu Fei finally connected Li Kuan with the Li family, and even the Divine Grace Society.

"Then, kicking myself out of the investigative mission, and strictly prohibiting leaks, seems to make perfect sense."

Xu Fei looked gloomy and uncertain, paced back and forth in the room many times, and finally made a decision.

There may be an inner ghost of the Divine Favor Society in the Temple of Heaven, and this incident shocked him a lot.But after Xu Fei thought about it repeatedly, he thought that Xia Weien and Nan Yue could still be trusted in this matter.

Especially the latter!

Because this task entrustment was originally sent to him by Nanyue.

If she is also an inner ghost, there is no need to give this task to herself in the first place.

"Since there is someone you can trust, it will be easy!"

What are you doing in a daze, report it!

Seriously report!

Xu Fei immediately opened the area chat bar and contacted the private contact number Nanyue gave him.

I don't know if it's because of the darkness of the night, or because the saint is not around, or because there are other important matters, Nanyue didn't respond quickly this time.

Xu Fei waited for several hours, and when the second half of the dark night was about to end, Nan Yue hurriedly appeared in the room, seemingly in a bad mood.

He said to Xu Fei: "You are looking for me at this time, did something important happen?"

Xu Fei didn't directly say that Li Kuan had a problem, but first asked about the cancellation of the investigation mission.

"Is this really the case..."

Nanyue sighed lightly and said, "I made you laugh. This involves some disputes within the Temple of Heaven, and I have no good solution. However, the saint who will be in charge later should give you some compensation." Bar?"

"I did receive compensation, but this compensation seems to be a bit problematic."

As he spoke, Xu Fei brought Nanyue to the backyard of the other residence, showed her the ceremony that had not yet been held in the open space, and then handed her the torn book with several pages.

"The gift of the guardian? It seems that there is no problem..."

With the vision of a saint, Nan Yue quickly made the same judgment as Xu Fei.

But at this moment, she was slightly taken aback, as if she finally realized something was wrong.

"When I was going to perform the ceremony, the supernatural spirit was warning. From this, I suspected that the supernatural ceremony recorded in the classics lacked one or more preconditions. And I have reason to think that the missing conditions are being torn away. Within a few pages..." Xu Fei slowly expressed his speculation.

Holding the classic in her hand, Nanyue pondered for more than ten seconds.

Then he said: "Your guess is right! The gift of the guardian... Although I don't know this ceremony, I know some of the strange characteristics of the catastrophe level pointed to by the ceremony. If I guessed correctly, this ceremony is missing A precondition related to the holding time. It must be held when the first half of the white night and the second half are handed over, and other times are not allowed!"

"So that's the case." Xu Fei nodded and asked, "If you take the liberty to hold the ceremony without meeting the prerequisites, what will be the consequences?"

Nanyue thought for a while, and said, "Only the ceremony held at this time will suppress the weird power to the maximum. At other times, the power of the ceremony may not be enough to protect you perfectly, and then you will be secretly attacked by it." pollute."

"Can't the system protect me?" Xu Fei asked doubtfully.

When faced with an unknown level, the system always has a description like "may be cleared". This is just a disaster level, right?

It doesn't make sense to be stronger than the unknowable class!

Nanyue's pretty face was a little more solemn: "The resurrection of the system can of course help you perfectly clean up its pollution. But before the resurrection? A polluted and out-of-control you, in the densely populated Baili Mountain City, What will you do?"

Out of control, but not at all.

Xu Fei has absolute confidence in the gray talismans in his mental space.

But I have to say that the possible ending mentioned by Nanyue is very terrible and terrible.

If a self without a golden finger really got caught out of control, killing wantonly in Baili Mountain City, it would definitely cause irreparable impact.Just old lanterns, real dreams, fire owl's feather, heart of stone and other weird things are enough to bring about a devastating disaster, and I don't know how many innocent people will be killed or injured - he, the player, can be resurrected, these " NPCs are really dead when they die!

Even if it is found out later that there is a reason for the incident, I am afraid that the impression and trust of the saints in the Temple of Heaven will be greatly reduced.

Even if Li Kuan himself was suspected, he still had an explainable reason, so he presumed that he had made a mistake or was negligent.Even if he bears some responsibilities for negligence, it is nothing more than a small punishment and a big warning, after all, the other party is a genuine saint!

Chapter 527 Schedule

"So, you suspect that this may be the revenge of the saint Li Kuan, and he is likely to be involved in the connection between the Li family and the Divine Grace Society, and may even have direct cooperation with the Divine Grace?"

After helping Xu Fei confirm the missing conditions of the ceremony, and hearing the details from him, Nan Yue's expression became serious.

Suspecting that a saint has colluded with underground forces, this is a terrible accusation!

"Can you be sure of your speculation?" Nanyue reminded him kindly: "If there is no conclusive evidence, you can't say such things. Otherwise, if there is any impact, Li Kuan will never let it go. The Palace of Heaven It is also impossible to allow others to slander a saint."

Of course Xu Fei knew the seriousness of the problem, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Nan Yue to discuss it in private.

He looked directly at the other party and said: "I really don't have any actual evidence, but this matter itself is indeed suspicious, so I asked Mr. Nanyue to discuss it and see if there is any way. As for the possible impact, You can rest assured that I will definitely not talk nonsense about such important matters."

This is not only a statement, but also a secret expression to Nanyue of his trust in her.

"You're good to know."

Nanyue nodded slightly, took a few steps slowly in the room, and said, "From your description, there is indeed something suspicious about Saint Li Kuan. In fact, the Divine Grace Society has been able to dormant in Baili Mountain City for many years. , development, it's a bit strange. If it's really Li Kuan..."

It's not easy.

Nanyue looked very embarrassed, and after pondering for more than ten seconds, she finally made a decision: "Since you suspect that there is something wrong with him, you must investigate clearly, and you must not let this black sheep continue to lurk in the Temple of Heaven. It's just that , how to check specifically, although I have some clues, but I don't have a perfect solution. If you decide, what are you going to do?"

These words gave Xu Fei a reassurance.

Now that the other party has decided whether to do it or not, it means that the most critical step has been done, and the rest is the actual operation.

He thought for a while and said: "Li Kuan has been sitting in the Palace of Heaven before, and he has no idea how far away from Baili Mountain City. If they really colluded, there must be some kind of convenient channel for information exchange. I don't know if the Palace of Heaven can get here Do you want to start?"

"I have also considered this point." Nanyue shook her head: "It's just that if Li Kuan really has a problem, he must pay special attention to secrecy when contacting the saints of the Charismatic Society. Unless he is monitored in all directions, otherwise he will be exposed. The possibility is not high.”

However, it is not a trivial matter to monitor a saint in all directions, let alone something that can be done at will.

This idea is destined to be only a backup option, not the main method.

Seeing that Nanyue tactfully rejected the proposal, Xu Fei put forward a second thought: "Since it is inconvenient to monitor, can we verify it by spreading false information? For example, Saint Nanyue told Li Kuan a specific piece of information, except In addition, no one else knows. In this case, if the Holy Grace 'Unknown Prophet' reacts, will it be able to further amplify Li Kuan's suspicion?"

If it is not convenient, the reverse operation is also the same.The fake news was about to be leaked to the Grace Society, but Li Kuan reacted, which can also prove that they have collusion!

Nanyue's expression changed: "This idea is somewhat feasible."

Immediately discussed with Xu Fei, what kind of information should be disseminated, so as not to arouse Li Kuan's suspicion, but also to confirm his collusion with the Divine Favor Society to the greatest extent.

.........

Dark night comes.

Tan Shengnan, an officer of the city guard who had just been on duty, returned home with a slightly tired expression.

Although Baili Mountain City is powerful, affected by the tide of gray mist, it will still be attacked by strange and weird attacks from time to time.Moreover, the strange [Black Silhouette] of killing people appeared again in the city recently, but the officials still had nothing to do with it, which also put them, the city guards, under tremendous pressure.

Fortunately, it finally passed another day smoothly.

He walked into the room with a little ease, and was about to light the oil lamp, when he suddenly felt something, and his body suddenly tensed up.

In a dark room, a person is sitting on a bamboo chair, as if waiting for his arrival.

I don't know if it has some kind of potion ability, or some other means, but the other party's breath is hidden very well.So much so that Tan Shengnan didn't notice any clues beforehand, and he didn't see his existence until he entered the room.

In other words, if the other party intends to sneak attack, even if I survived just now, I am afraid that I will suffer serious injuries...

"Who are you? What are you doing in my room?"

After almost two or three seconds of stalemate, the unexpected visitor seemed to have no intention of making a move, so Tan Shengnan took the lead in asking the other party why he came.

"Tan Shengnan, an officer of the City Guard, was an indirect participant in the disappearance of the caravan in Xiqiu Town. Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions towards you!"

Seeing that the other party directly reported his identity, Tan Shengnan's heart skipped a beat.

It seems that it was not an accident, but came on my own.

He collected himself, put aside his hostility a little, and walked slowly to the table to light the oil lamp, illuminating the room.With the help of the firelight, he looked at the person.

Unexpectedly young!

Wait a minute, this look!

Tan Shengnan suddenly remembered something, and his eyes shrank sharply.
