"Try to activate the ability now."

"it's here?"

　　 Jenkins asked.

　　 "Yes, just standing."

　　 Old man nodded.

　　 Jenkins immediately did so, calling out the light spot in front of him, and then injecting his spirit into the newly acquired yellow.

　　 This is one of the few spells that can be started without any spells. But when the ability began to work, Jenkins seemed to hear a soft sigh.

　　 An inexplicable feeling appeared, like someone pouring a bucket of warm water over his head. Unprepared warmth spread from the top of the head and enveloped the whole body.

　　At the same time, the density of the air suddenly increased, and the whole world was squeezing itself.

　　 An illusion appeared in front of his eyes, a layer of if there is nothing superimposed in the real vision, it is constantly shaking, like a sea of ​​stars like a tide. The color of the sea of ​​stars is extremely light, but the sparkling stars in it are particularly conspicuous.

　　 He raised his head to look at the old man. When Xinghai slapped him, a faint white light was reflected from him, and then merged into the ocean.

"this is-"

　　 Jenkins withdrew from the state just now, and stopped talking.

"This is the spirit, the spirit of the gifter. The astral, shadow, and present are actually superimposed. This ability allows us to temporarily see a part of the astral. Of course, living people live in the real world and will not interact with each other. The interstellar world, but from the perspective of the astral world, we can find some wonderful changes."

　　 "Then can we use this method to distinguish the gifted from ordinary people?"

　　 Jenkins thought of this immediately.

"You could see the light on my body just now because I was using abilities. Without using abilities, there is no difference between ordinary people and benefactors in the star realm perception, and no difference between ordinary items and most special items. This ability is actually used by astrologers to better observe the starry sky."

　　 Papa Explainer, he nodded slowly, glanced at the chocolate that was cleverly lying on the threshold looking at the stars, and said:

"When I was young, I went to many places and saw many different things. These experiences made me know more secrets and more knowledge. Once, certainly not in this era, there was a name that was not recorded. He is also not an astrologer, but he accidentally learned this ability. One night, he wore a necklace that could increase the range of perception—this is extremely dangerous and irresponsible behavior—and looked up at the starry sky. It was time to activate the ability. When the star realm in his field of vision overlapped with the starry sky somewhere, he felt the spirit in his body increase."

　　 "Really?"

　　 Jenkins asked back immediately, but thought it was rude. It is very difficult to increase the spirit. Different believers have different methods. If you remove and destroy the tricks and rely on luck through the tricks, the means to increase the spirit without harm is extremely rare.

　　 The method of increasing spirit that Mr. Hood bought from Miss Bailing must have cost a huge price.

　　The general understanding among the gifters is that the way to increase the spirit is more precious than anything other than the gift.

　　 "What are the disadvantages?"

　　 Jenkins asked again.

"Perception needs to be increased to a certain level in order to work. I will teach you a ritual for a while, but it will cost a lot; you must never look at the moon, absolutely not; you can use it five times a month, and each time is not recommended. For more than two hours, at the same time, you must see the starry sky after sunset to start; lastly, not every time you can find a place to increase your spirit in the starry sky, it takes some luck."

　　 Dad led Jenkins back to the store and lit the hanging gas lamp on the wall.

"The document I found did not say which level of gift this method is invalid for, but you can use it at least level 7. You have dedicated your divinity to the sage. This is me as your guide, yes. Your reward-the reading festival will not give you a gift, that's enough."

　　 Jenkins has a smile on his face. This is really the best news in recent times. In addition to the five gifts and chocolate immersed in the spirit, he is willing to exchange any of his possessions for a method that is not too defective and can increase the spirit.

　　 "Maybe the recent luck is too bad, so the Hermit of Destiny finally compensated me."

　　 He thought a little happily.

　　 Dad has been busy for half a night, and he is also a little tired. After explaining this, he blasted Jenkins and Chocolate out, and asked him to come later tomorrow morning.

　　 As for the joint travel plan, it was pushed to the weekend, and he said that he had missed the time.

　　 "The reading festival is coming soon, what do you want, dad?"

　　 He asked this question again. The old man knew Jenkins' bad social skills well, so he didn't show a strange expression.

　　 "The apprentice has been working for three months. My father is very good to me. I want to buy a gift that is enough for you-and I have made a lot of money recently, and I have a lot of cash on hand."

　　 "I knew you would ask directly. Since this is the case, I will think about it."

　　 He pulled the door frame and thought for a moment: "I don't have anything I want. In that case, I owe it."

　　 After speaking, he pushed Jenkins out of the chocolate holding the chocolate involuntarily.

　　 Even if he said that, Jenkins would still prepare a gift. But he really has no good ideas about choosing gifts for others. Therefore, maybe you can ask someone who is familiar with social etiquette for advice, otherwise he can only go to the store to buy a new wool vest for the old man. The red one he is wearing now is really ugly.

　　 Biyue has risen to the sky, and the whole city is quiet. You can only see the chimneys in the distance, still diligently releasing polluting smoke.

　　 There is a scorching smell in the air, and the white mist is not very dense, nor will it obstruct the vision. The days of peace will continue for some time.

　　PS: Underwear, refers to personal clothing, everyone, not just the small pieces below! It is absolutely impossible to sew pockets on underwear. Jenkins is sewn on the thermal underwear of his upper body!

Chapter 168 Chapter 164 The Devil Bomb and the Walking Cat

　　 Even though Nolan City is one of the most economically developed cities in the Kingdom, the city does not have street lights installed. As far as Jenkins knows, some important streets in the capital city of Bel Dylan have just been installed with street lights this spring. "Nolan Daily" has no news about the installation of street lights in the city, but think about it, the Nolan people who are not far behind will also enjoy the bright night streets in two or three years.

　　 The bar in the corner of the city is still open, but there is no one on the avenue.

　　 Jenkins walked along Fifth Queen's Avenue, close to the wall, avoiding the patrolling police, and then stepped on the stone brick road to turn to the dock area. A light spot appeared in the distance, followed by the sound of hoofing horses and the sound of wheels running across the road.

The coachman did not pay attention to Jenkins on the corner of the street, adjusted the position of the kerosene lamp hung on the side, looked up at the marble building on one side and the tall spire roof, and carried a tall and thin gentleman with a beard in the carriage. Sail into the distance.

　　 There is indeed no curfew in the city, but the police officers will suspect anyone sneaking around at night. If you are unlucky and come across a team of Orthodox gifters wearing police uniforms, they may be able to see at a glance what color the underwear is today.

　　 Jenkins’ destination is the [Ocean and Discovery] Church in the Docklands.

　　 Somewhere in the shadow he called the black robe to change his figure, and then let Chocolate look at his cane under a brick wall. Take out a wad of white paper, think about it, and put it back.

　　 Spread his hands and concentrate, three standard printed papers appeared in his palms. The snow-white color seems to be able to shine in the dark.

　　 Having not touched such paper for a long time, Jenkins lost consciousness for a moment, and then activated [Book of Memories], the front portrait, side portrait, and back portrait of the pirate king-destroyer Fermischau appeared on paper, and they were in color. Finally, in print, print Fermischau’s name directly under the paper, and the work is complete.

　　 He doesn't have to worry that someone will think of the gift he just got because of this. After all, not everyone knows this reward, and the [Book of Memories] can only show the things in memory in this book, not on all the papers.

　　 Turned softly to the courtyard of a citizen's house on the side and borrowed several gardens before reaching the welfare nursing home directly opposite the church.

　　 The walls of the yard are not high, and the street is not very wide. Jenkins folded three white papers that were close to the photo into paper airplanes, and then threw them to the opposite side in turn.

　　His craftsmanship is not bad, and the wind is not too big tonight. Of the three paper airplanes, two landed on the white stone steps in front of the church gate, and one dangling against the decorative stone pillars, and then landed under the pillars.

　　 He took a deep breath and walked a long way to find the waiting place for the chocolate. The cat was a little dissatisfied that the owner left it on the street, but forgave him because of Jenkins's embrace.

　　 This can be regarded as a small contribution made by Jenkins to Nolan City, and once Fermischau sneaks into the city, it is also a very dangerous thing for the great peace-loving writer.

　　 originally planned to go home to write a book, or go to Mr. Ink’s club to practice guns, but it was only 8 o’clock in the night. While it was too early, Jenkins went home and changed his clothes, left some food for the chocolate, and went out again.

　　 Then the chocolate slipped out with its tail waving.

　　 walked for an hour before coming to the edge of the city, randomly looking for a small forest, going deep into it and walking forward unhurriedly, until he was sure that there was no one nearby.

　　 He leaned against the tree and kicked away the fallen leaves under the tree at will. First, I took out a coin that feels like wood from my pocket, that is, [Profane Seed]. According to the introduction I saw in the church during the day, I injected a small amount of spirit into it, and then placed it on my mouth and blew it gently. Take it to the ear immediately.

　　 For a while, apart from the whispers that couldn't distinguish the specific content, I didn't hear the so-called blasphemy knowledge.

　　 "There is a problem with the church information?"

　　 While thinking, he put the coins away. This is a by-product of the black ability, and it certainly won't be that simple.

　　 summoned his own power spot, and then looked at the red [twin demon].

　　 Until today, he hasn't had time to test this ability, but the ability of the fighting class is generally very obvious, so it is necessary to find such a calm and unmanned place to test.

　　 Jenkins understood it literally, guessing that the function of the ability is to summon a clone. But the result of the test was far beyond his expectations—

　　 After activating the red light spot with spirit, a humanoid black figure exuding a strong smell of sulfur and still breathing black smoke appeared behind Jenkins, pressing his back against his back.

　　The black shadow has no specific appearance, because the whole body is full of smoke, and the height and body shape are not visible. Trying to control, but found that only a certain target can be specified.

　　 He designated the target on the tree not far away where the leaves had fallen, and the black figure drew an afterimage in the dark night and rushed over.

　　 boom~

　　 Hearing a loud noise, Jenkins subconsciously hugged his head and fell to the ground.

I took off the fallen leaves from my hair and patted the dirt on my shoulders. When I looked up again, there was only a dirt pit left where the tree was. The black flames leaped in the dirt pit, getting smaller and smaller, and then completely Extinguished.

　　 "Bomb?"

　　 Jenkins rubbed his hands and approached the dirt pit. Only then did he determine that the truth of this ability was to summon a demon phantom that would explode.

　　 "Twin Devil?"

　　 He grinned, not knowing how to evaluate this ability. Carefully cleaned up the footprints and traces on the ground, and left here.

　　 On the other side of the city, the kitten that had left its owner was walking on the street triumphantly. The two police officers who approached talked quietly to the wall where the chocolate was standing, but turned a blind eye to the cute cat.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 Chocolate raised his head to look at Biyue above his head, made a threatening cry, and then leaped down flexibly. It walked through the street like a shadow, and no one could see this lovely creature.

　　 With a light kick on its hind legs, the whole cat crossed the wide Westminster River. While gliding in the air like a bat, the yellow vertical pupil caught a glimpse of a certain man lying on the bottom of the river, but ignored him and continued forward.

　　 Moonlight seems to avoid the chocolate deliberately, it walks through the city in sleep like a shadow. There was a villa without any light in front of him. Chocolate stood at the corner of the street and looked at the street sign carefully, then turned into the yard.

　　 The door was locked, the window was locked, and there seemed to be some special ritual marks for warning on the wall. But it didn't matter, the clever cat whispered softly, passed through the wall and landed on the sofa.

#169-Chapter 169

　　 sneezed lightly, chocolate is a little sensitive to the smell of spices. But that’s okay. I jumped down the stairs to the second floor. The bedroom door opened silently in front of me. I didn’t care about Miss Audrey who was sleeping on the bed. Chocolate slipped into the door and jumped onto the desk. The pads on my feet made sure it didn’t. No sound will be heard.

　　 There is nothing on the table except a beautiful brass lamp. The dark brown wooden tabletop was scrubbed by the servant very clean, reflecting the strange moonlight.

　　 Chocolate fiddled with her cheeks, her small nose sniffed the air lightly, and then let out a lazy meow. Then, dots of light appeared in the room, and a red notebook emerged from the air in the center of the gradually forming stars in the universe.

On the lower right corner of the cover of 　　 diary is a full five-pointed star, and in the center is a sentence written in common language—

　　 The stars are in the sky, and the stars are with me.

　　The **** hand stretched out from the void and brought the diary to the chocolate. The yellow-gold locks automatically opened, and as the pages of the paper were automatically turned, the cat squatting on the table shook his furry head.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 cried out suspiciously, and the page stopped.

　　 looked up at the three weird phrases "World Tree Sapling", "Unknown Road" and "Twin Devil". The cat thoughtfully closed the notebook with satisfaction.

　　 Just like the back of time, the black hand moved the notebook back to the center of the still star sea, the star sea slowly contracted, and finally disappeared with the notebook.

　　 After everything was restored, Chocolate jumped off the table and slipped out through the door. But a few seconds later he got back, jumped on the bed, and slapped the sleeping Miss Audrey on the face twice with her long hairy tail, and then bounced out of the house.

　　 When Jenkins returned home, Chocolate was standing on the window sill in the bedroom, quietly raising his head to look at the moon. There is no light in the room, and the cat in the moonlight looks a bit lonely.

　　 Jenkins took off his coat, picked up the domestic kitten, patted it lightly, and put it in the nest under the window where he never wanted to stay.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 Chocolate raised his head to look at the owner, with an innocent expression in the amber cat's eyes. Jumped back on the bed, got into the quilt, and only a bulging ball was left showing its existence.

　　 There is one last thing to do tonight, 【Curse of Disease】This ability hasn't been used for a long time.

　　 Although there are a lot of things to do today, we should not forget this.

　　 In order to prevent the ceremonial materials from contaminating the house, the venue of the ceremony was set in a small tiled house in the corner of the courtyard.

　　 This house was originally used to store some tools used to clean up the yard, such as flower scissors, kettles, etc., which were left by the previous owner.

　　 Jenkins plans to have time to dig a downward passage here to connect with the basement of the house, which is actually the storage room. It will be convenient to do some things in the future.

　　The familiar blue ceremonial chalk draws a round base array, takes out a thin piece of metal, then pulls out the test tube that Captain Bincy gave him, and pours the hair inside into his palm.

　　 "What disease should I use?"

　　 While thinking, he wrapped his hair around the cursed black gold.

　　 Ordinary flu is the only disease for which he is very clear about the cause and pathogenesis of the disease, because the book that he studied in school uses influenza as an example to explain the immune system.

　　 Before crossing, Jenkin was an engineering student and didn't know much about medicine. Moreover, it is limited by regulations such as "the power of the curse is related to the cognition of the disease by the person who casts it", "the curse cannot immediately cause death", "the disease must be real", and "cannot directly change the patient's body structure" and so on. AIDS and other creative diseases cannot be used.

　　 After much deliberation, I still use flu.

　　 Same as last time, he pressed the black gold entwined with his hair on the ritual base, and then chanted a mantra of unknown meaning in a low voice. According to the pause, it can be judged that there are three sections of the spell, which is also a way for the gifters to distinguish the strength of the spell. The [Astral Perception] that can be used without a spell is obviously the weakest.

　　 In the man's whisper, the flame of the kerosene lamp placed aside shook as if it sensed something. The center of the flame gradually showed black signs, and the looming scary human face appeared in the center of the flame, and then disappeared with the flame returning to its original color.

This is a common phenomenon when using the spell ability. The movement of the spirit will always attract strange things, just ignore it... and not everyone is like Jenkins, because of the real eye Turning on causes the spiritual vision to be so high.

　　 After chanting the mantra, the hair seemed to be embedded in black gold. Jenkins left it in the base array and buckled it with an empty flowerpot. In doing so, the curse will continue until the black gold is completely transformed into ordinary rusty metal.
