Before going to bed, it is customary to activate [Unknown Way Ahead] to try it out. I thought that the demon incident was over and there was nothing important for the time being, but I didn't expect that with the flow of the spirit, a purple line appeared directly in front of my eyes.
"Huh?"
Jenkins frowned, Chocolate, who was lying on his stomach, also opened his eyes, and then quickly closed them. Squinting his eyes, Jenkins quietly saw that he was not paying attention, so he wagged his tail and stood up staggeringly pretending to wake up.
The line of fate does not point to the outside, but to the hanger in the corner of the room. Jenkins froze for a while, lifted the quilt, and walked over there in his pajamas and slippers.
Every room in the church has steam pipes, as well as heating pipes, so the dress will not feel cold on autumn nights.
He took out his pocket, and the purple fate was pointing to [Xinghai Badge]. Jenkins acquired this particular item from Papa's Antiques. Its original owner died on A-10-2-9116, and the landlord sold it to Jenkins.
"What does it mean?"
This time, he didn't understand what kind of destiny node this was, only saw that the line in front of him changed direction and pointed to the window again. Stepping on his slippers, he carefully opened the balcony door and walked out, only to see that line went straight into the night sky.
The weather is good tonight, there are not a few clouds in the night sky, and in this era without optical pollution, the bright starry sky can be seen even in the city. It was one of the few days before the winter heating started to see the stars through the smoke.
I moved the potted plant and raised my head. As soon as I reached the starry sky, the guidance of fate disappeared.
Jenkins froze for a moment, took note of the location where the guide disappeared, and then walked back into the house.
"What's the meaning?"
He scratched his hair, but didn't understand what the guidance represented this time. So far, [The Front Road of Position] has played a role three times. For the first time, Jenkins was guided to find the letter received by his father, so he knew that there was a huge doubt in the student of the art college, Blake Wilt. To divinity; the second time, guide Jenkins to find Mr. Barnard's house, and learn about the evil spirit in the hospital from the weeping Mrs. Barnard, which made Jenkins become a god; the third time, guide Jenkins to find A-10-1-0230, [Parchment from the Future], learned what happened in Nolan City from it, and this incident gave him the strange ability [Twin Devil].
But for the first three times, the goal of the guidance was very clear, and one could almost understand it when one saw it.
"The badge of the star sea, and the starry sky."
He frowned and took a sip from the water glass. The water was very sweet, probably because someone added honey specially.
"It's all related to the starry sky, and the only connection I have with the starry sky recently is the ability of [Astral Perception]."
He reasoned carefully, and injected the spirit into the badge in his hand. A mass of silvery light emerged from the badge itself, and the mass of light quickly split and spun like an elf, covering the entire room. After everything stabilized, dots of silvery flashes filled the room, undulating like tides and as charming as stars.
Then activate the ability [Astral Perception], in the brilliance of the star sea, a layer of image from the astral world is superimposed.
But nothing strange happened. The star sea of the badge acts on the real world, and the star sea of the astral world exists in the parallel space. Although both of them can be watched by Jenkins, they will not affect each other.
"If it's not this, then it is also possible to increase the spirit through stargazing taught by the old man. However, I haven't gathered the materials for the ritual of increasing perception in a short time."
He nodded, lifted the red cloth covering the mirror on the wall, and looked at the silver-rimmed copper-rimmed mirror while maintaining the simultaneous activation of abilities and items. The craftsmanship of glass has not yet matured as it is in modern times, and the image in the mirror is a bit dark under the light of the candle.
What the mirror reflected was a room with only Jenkins and the cat, without any layer of star sea.
"Increase perception, increase perception..."
He muttered, and tapped his temple: "I don't know if my [Eye of Reality] counts as increasing perception?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. He restored the abilities and items to an unused state, poked his head out from the balcony and looked down, but there was no one; when he looked up, there was no one either. So I walked out, first turned on [Astral Perception] and looked up, the surging sea of stars immediately overlapped with the still starry sky.
Avoid the position of the moon and look in the direction directed by fate just now. When the line of sight swept across, the cold breath fell from the starry sky and sank into Jenkins' body from the top of his head.
"Ha, I can save another sum of money!"
Now Jenkins knew why Pop had warned him not to use this method for more than two hours at a time. In the field of view where the sea of stars projected by the astral world overlaps with the real starry sky, the two layers that should not interfere with each other are actually merged together.
The surging star sea rises and falls like a tide, washing away the eternal stars. With the increase of the spirit, the sound like the sea waves came into the ears, but covered by the sound of the star sea, there was also an extremely slight ethereal singing.
The singing is indeed very holy, but after listening to it for a long time, a creepy feeling will come to my heart, like facing a life with its own volume ten thousand times its own with closed eyes. This is the instinct to warn of danger that has been passed down in human blood, and it is also an important instinct for human beings to survive in this dangerous world.
He shivered violently, raised his hands and turned up his collar, then sniffed, and activated the [Xinghai Badge] while keeping his head up.
Originally, I was still worried that activating this kind of props outside would be seen by others. But he thought too much, the light overflowing from the badge stayed straight above Jenkins' head, and then showed the same tide as the astral world perceived in the [Astral Perception] ability.
The two images of the tide are getting closer, like a double image on an unstable monitor. At the moment when the starry sky, the sea of stars and the tide completely coincided, all the stars in Jenkins' eyes shone brightly together.
A sigh came from a distant place, and as the cold feeling spread all over his body, his body limply fell to the ground. The sound of the heavy object falling to the ground made the chocolate lying on the bed swish down. Jumping to Jenkins' side, rubbing his nose against Jenkins' nose, he felt relieved.
