As Trissy chanted, the gems around her emitted cracking sounds as they shattered into powder and floated up.
They shimmered with red, blue, green, or resplendent glimmers as they quickly converged into a torrent that was cast towards the candlelight on the altar.
At the same time, the burnt strands of hair in the cauldron also joined the ranks.
The flames swelled and intertwined, turning darker as though it was an illusory door that led to another World.
Trissy immediately felt the surrounding temperature drop rapidly, as though countless dangers were seeping out from the flames.
A sentence flashed across her mind. It was a warning from German Sparrow:
"Be careful of Mr. Door."
As expected of someone with a messenger of that level … His understanding of Mr. Door and his grasp of my plans might be deeper and more precise than I imagined … Trissy slowly took a deep breath and patiently waited for the subsequent changes.
In the blink of an eye, she felt that the void in the room had become a lot thinner. Many places were filled with shadows, as though a large number of indescribable, strange, and dangerous creatures were hiding behind them.
The dark and expanding flames slowly spun, turning into a huge, deep, crimson vortex.
As the vortex spun, an ethereal voice that could pierce through a Spirit Body finally sounded from the bottom:
"… Cheek?"
Upon hearing this voice, the blood vessels on Trissy's forehead throbbed. It was as though her head had been stabbed with countless steel needles that were frantically stabbing and stirring.
Her black hair fluttered without any wind. Every strand became thicker, and the skin on her face turned transparent. Her blood vessels protruded out one after another, densely packed like a spider web.
After spending a lot of effort, Trissy finally controlled herself. She heard the voice that was enough to make most Beyonders gradually lose control and chuckled.
"From the looks of it, it's Cheek's Blessed …
"Back then, we looked at the second Blasphemy Slate together … and were able to surpass Sequence 1 … The only ones left alive … should be Artisan, Cheek, and me …"
Trissy ignored Mr. Door's sigh as she spoke with an unconcealable warped expression.
"Honorable Mr. Door, I have something to ask you."
"Speak … Being lost in the darkness and trapped in the storm for years is too boring … It's rare to have someone to chat with me …" The terrifying voice replied without much change in the slowly spinning vortex.
The muscles on Trissy's face twitched a few times. She still couldn't get used to the voice that sounded like the ravings of an evil god.
She paused for a few seconds before saying,
"… I want to know if there's any abnormal way to enter the nine secret mausoleums that Blood Emperor Tudor built to advance to Black Emperor."
It was unknown where he was, but Mr. Door's voice sounded across the endless void as he let out an ethereal laugh.
"So it's because of this …"
"That's not difficult … I'll give you a symbol … Gather the blood of Beyonders of different pathways and mix them together … Taint it with spirituality. In front of the mausoleum, draw the symbol in the void, and you will be able to open a secret passageway that leads inside …"
As the being spoke, sparks separated from the dark vortex and formed a rather complicated symbol in midair.
It was like a series of doors stacked on top of each other in a disorderly manner, with no end in sight.
Trissy endured the tearing pain of her Spirit Body and memorized the symbol before seeking confirmation.
"All twenty-two Beyonder pathways?
Every pathway only requires the blood of one Beyonder, regardless of their Sequence?
"How much blood does each pathway require?"
Mr. Door continued to reply in the same delirious state as before.
"Yes … I don't need too much … A small tube will do … I guarantee that I can finish drawing the symbol …"
Although Trissy's expression was contorted from the pain, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth after obtaining crucial information. She revealed a smile.
This, combined with her overall expression, was very strange, making her look like a lunatic.
After accomplishing her main goal, Trissy asked again in order to have a smooth cooperation with German Sparrow.
"The House of Abraham wants to know how to get rid of the ancient curse."
The dark vortex fell silent for a few seconds before sighing.
"Set up such a ritual … using a demigod of the Seer, Apprentice, and Marauder pathway as a sacrifice … Once I escape the storm and penetrate the darkness … the curse will no longer exist …"
Trissy wasn't interested in how the House of Abraham could get rid of the ancient curse. After receiving the answer, she couldn't hold it in any longer. As she thanked Mr. Door, she began to stop the ritual.
As for Mr. Door, he didn't attempt to bewitch, threaten, or corrupt her.
After the dark vortex of flames collapsed and the ritual ended, Trissy began Cogitation. She spent nearly an hour to calm the effects of Mr. Door's ravings on her.
After doing all of this, Trissy found a pen and paper and copied the symbol provided by Mr. Door. She described the answers to the two questions in detail.
She knew that she was being pursued by Saintess of White Katarina, and that there seemed to be an even more terrifying hunter waiting behind her. It was very difficult for her to quickly gather the blood of Beyonders from different pathways, so she planned on leaving this matter to German Sparrow.
In addition, she believed that even if George III and company believed that the secret mausoleum was safe enough and didn't leave too many guards behind, there would definitely be necessary defenses inside. It wasn't something that she, as a Sequence 4, could quickly break through and destroy. If that happened, she would be intercepted by reinforcements and lose the best opportunity.
As for German Sparrow, even his messenger was at the level of an angel. The strength of the organization behind him was obvious. They had the ability to destroy the mausoleum at the critical moment and cause the Black Emperor ritual to fail.
Since she couldn't complete it herself, she naturally had to find someone with the ability to complete it for her!
After throwing the letter into a mailbox on a nearby street, Trissy, who was wearing a black dress and a black coat, slowly walked down the cold, dark road. Looking at the light from the gas lamps, she laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Just because of a little indignation, I actually walked step by step to such an extent …
"You're lucky. At least I'll avenge you …
"And if I were to die, apart from those who hate me, no one would remember me …"
…
After receiving Trissy's letter from Miss Messenger, Klein sat in a chair and read it a few times.
Before heading above the gray fog to divine the authenticity of Mr. Door's method, he subconsciously thought about how quickly he could gather the blood of the twenty-two Beyonder pathways.
This symbol is very similar to the symbol on the back of Miss Magicians's chair … A Seer can use his … Apprentice to find Miss Magicians, and I can also give her some pressure to write her manuscript … There are three choices for the Marauder pathway: Marionette as a mosquito to sting Hazel; Obtain it from Vice Admiral Iceberg's third mate, Flowery Bow Tie; Get Leonard's grandpa to give it to me …
Spectator pathway, Miss Justice … Bard pathway, Little Sun … Storm pathway, Mr. The Hanging Man … Reader pathway, Vice Admiral Iceberg or that demigod named Lucca … Secrets Suppliant, find Ma 'am Hermit's second mate, Bloodless Heath Doyle …
Corpse Collector pathway, Numinous Episcopate's Patrick Bryan … Sleepless pathway, my dear poet … Warrior pathway, most of the citizens of the City of Silver or Father Utravsky …
Planter, Frank … Apothecary, Emlyn …
Arbiter, Miss Xio … Lawyer, Marionette Qonas …
Hunter, Dhaniz or Anderson … Demoness, I'll get Trissy to provide it herself …
Prisoner, Miss Sharon or Marić … Criminal, I don't have one for now …
Mystery Pryer, Ma 'am Hermit … Savant, Frank's experimental assistant …
Monster, Marionette Enuni …
From the looks of it, most of them can be obtained in a short period of time. The corresponding channels trust me enough to believe that I won't use blood to curse them … This Demoness, Trissy, definitely has a way to remove the connection between blood and her main body. She won't object … Only Devils. Although I've already encountered a few, they've either died or escaped. I'm currently lacking a target to choose from …
Yes, I'll ask Little Sun if the City of Silver has any Devil flesh and blood in storage. They encounter it from time to time …
On careful thought, Klein realized that he had transmigrated less than two years ago, but he had established a rather deep connection with most Beyonder Beyonders of the Beyonder pathways.
He immediately reined in his scattered thoughts and seriously considered Mr. Door's escape ritual.
To sacrifice a Marauder, Apprentice, and Seer demigod … These are three pathways that can be interchanged … Is Mr. Door going to use the temporary combination of the three pathways to use an ingenious method to open a passageway to return?
… The demigods of these three pathways aren't that easy to capture. It was possible when the House of Abraham was at its peak, but there was basically no hope for High-Sequence Beyonders after the War of the Four Emperors and the corresponding aftershocks died …
If Mr. Door was a little more patient and gave his descendants more time to grow, it wouldn't be impossible. But why is "He" constantly calling for help, causing one descendant after another with potential to die …
Could "He" have already gone mad? A lunatic who looks like a normal person on the outside?
Klein pondered for a moment before burning the letter and entering above the gray fog. He did two divinations.
The revelations he received were: The method to enter the secret mausoleum was real, and Mr. Door's return ritual was also real.
Looking at the spirit pendulum in his hand, Klein sat silently on the high-back chair for a while.
After a few minutes, he pulled and clenched the topaz pendant tightly with his left hand.
He muttered to himself, "Once the Bizarro Sorcerer potion is completely digested, I'll hold the ritual with George III …"
