Chapter 656: Chapter 487: Another “Forr Company Employee”?_1
“The general content of the ‘Eternal Night’ ritual is to pray to a symbolic stonework representing The Night within the train periter, then to pour a large amount of blood from hunted Mutated Bodies as a sacrifice…”
“When the atmosphere is about right, one-third of the selected people are allowed to enter.”
“Once inside, they call for ‘Dusk’ to descend, and the ritual usually lasts from three to seven days, the actual duration depends on the number of Extraordinary Ones that appear and the death toll…”
“That’s how power is obtained…”
Colin licked his lips, feeling the ritual was also simple and crude.
Interestingly, before the chosen third enter, they all have Gold implanted in their bodies to carry the power of The Night in the mystical realms; this way, even if the Extraordinary Ones die later, their power can be inherited by recovering the Gold in their bodies, the only difference being, it’s not as good as the original, and there’s no possibility for enhancent—
In Colin’s view, it was a bit like installing a battery in the body.
‘The fact that Gold shines so brightly in the field of mystical materials and can be used in these ways is honestly quite amazing and incomprehensible…’
Colin’s gaze continued to scan the content of the ‘Eternal Night’ ritual, he occasionally asked Queen Akasha and other personnel present for so details.
According to tradition, “The Dusk Sect” was basically adamant about starting the ‘Eternal Night’ ritual tomorrow.
Because from tomorrow, there will be a period of cloudless skies…
That would be the most opportune ti for the ritual.
Of course, these people could choose to postpone, but such a delay might be indefinite.
For the next ‘cloudless day,’ no one knows when it will co.
Seated beside Colin, Queen Akasha spoke, “If lucky, it might be in a month, if not, perhaps it’ll take a year or even longer, the more ti passes, the greater the pressure will be for food resources…”
“After all, everyone has just survived a periodic natural disaster, and stocks are not plentiful.”
“To survive, public complaints will rise, and the restless ntality of the masses will be even more detrintal to the ritual.”
“I see…”
Colin nodded, he hadn’t expected that the ‘Believers’ here could actually complain…
In other Heretic Churches, if the higher-ups issued an order in the ‘Master’s’ na, the frenzied Believers would probably endure until they starved to death.
Here…
There’s quite a bit of freedom of thought.
“Then let’s start working on it the day after tomorrow morning.”
Having agreed on the ti simply, Colin then looked towards Queen Akasha, whose body had by now mostly healed.
Once she removed her black robe and hood, she appeared rather striking, with long, smooth black hair and deep, black eyes with soft, well-defined features.
“By the way, can you think of what to do when the ti cos?” Colin asked.
Destabilizing the ritual and releasing the train seed fairly likely with his involvent, but the thod of making millions obey all at once was still uncertain, which made him sowhat uneasy.
Upon hearing this, Akasha tilted her head, thought for a few seconds, and ultimately shook her head: “I’m sorry, I just have a feeling that tells
what needs to be done at the ti, I can’t explain exactly how.”
“Alright…”
Colin pursed his lips, hoping that there wouldn’t be any slip-ups when the ti ca.
Otherwise, even if the ritual was thwarted and the train freed, he doubted he could easily extricate himself, since “Bonfire Company” had so many rules and regulations that, even if his conscience were eaten away and he chose to ignore everyone else, he couldn’t just drive off and escape.
Just the thought of getting mired in this ss made Colin feel weary…
However, regardless of the difficulties, the task still needed to be done.
After praying that “Lady Rabbit” had chosen a reliable woman, he proceeded to the next round of discussion.
They delegated specific tasks, such as who would disrupt the ‘Eternal Night’ ritual and who would destroy the train’s ‘Thorn Binding Device’ and so forth.
Colin was inclined to disrupt the ritual himself when the ti ca, while the rest, including the two D-Level Employees who had followed, were to focus on destroying whatever ‘Thorn Binding Device’ was on the train.
After all, the ritual would undoubtedly have the most participants at the ti.
Plus, with the power of ‘Night’ descending…
If left to those misfits, he feared he might never consider leaving this world again in his lifeti.
After all the discussions were concluded, the sky gradually darkened, and their exchange ca to a halt.
The sense of crisis intensified sowhat, but there were no exceptionally puzzling phenona beyond understanding, which was a relief.
Colin glanced outside the carriage, in so worlds when night ca, like in ‘World Code-13,’ the entire world would be shrouded in an oppressive darkness that was hard to articulate.
He had tried to find out more about it, but there were no clear answers.
Shana couldn’t explain it, and the ‘King of Savage Sound’ told him it was probably so sort of special containnt chanism at work.
But the details were likely known only to those with B-Level Authority…
Later, to persuade him, the ‘King of Savage Sound’ said sothing quite sensible—since a chanism is currently functioning properly and isn’t showing any major flaws, it’s not necessary to delve too deeply into it.
Otherwise, it could be problematic if just looking at it caused an issue.
Fortunately, there were none of these vexing things here.
At that mont, Akasha suggested, “Shall we eat sothing?”
“You guys go ahead.”
Colin declined the offer to try food from other worlds, but he was quite curious about what kind of food could be grown in such a bizarre place, as he had felt sothing indescribably strange about the fields he saw upon arrival…
