Chapter 3814: Rumors of Sacrifice
Chapter 3813 Rumors of Sacrifice
Gleipnir stood up, took one last deep look at the dark lake shrouded in hazy neon lights, and then turned around and left.
"Thanks to you this time."
Gleipnir spoke softly to the void.
Angel understood that she was thanking him: "Your idea is right. Even if you don't need me to remind you, you should be able to find clues before long."
This element of the Clown King is not hidden.
Moreover, the clown emperor's colorful face is in line with the bold colors of the design draft. As long as Gleipnir stops and looks around between designs, he will definitely find the connection.
Therefore, Angel was not being modest; with Gleipnir's ability, he would definitely be able to find the problem, it just took time.
"No, I was already a little confused at the time. It will probably take a long time before I really find out the problem." When Gleipnir said this, he looked at the time.
There are only three and a half hours left before the second round of main missions.
If we delay a little longer, the main mission will probably be over.
Therefore, Angel's reminder was completely timely.
Angel smiled and said no more, but changed the topic: "At the end of this mission, I should have received a piece of information related to the ceremony, right? I don't know what it is?"
When Starworm completed Rumor 2 before, he got the first step in the Ritual Trilogy: Prayer.
According to the ritual records, at least two more steps are needed.
This time Gleipnir completed Rumor 1 and should also get the content of the ritual.
Gleipnir: "Wait a moment, let me take a look."
As Gleipnir walked towards the outside of the corridor in the middle of the lake, he opened the text column to see what he had gained after this mission challenge.
The first thing that catches your eye is the puzzle reward of fashionable monsters.
Faceless monster*1.
The Faceless Monster is a low-level monster in the Style series and requires three puzzle pieces to unlock. I have only got one puzzle piece so far, and I still need to work hard to unlock it.
However, from the display in the text column, we can know that the faceless monster's forward-looking ability is: remove makeup (normal).
From the introduction, we can know that it is the ability to instantly remove one's own or other people's makeup, allowing people to restore their bare makeup.
Graipnir didn't know how to evaluate this ability. Anyway, in her opinion, it was of little use.
Angel has another opinion on this: "Removing makeup is a rare routine ability."
When Angel was chatting with Xiaolu before, he asked for information about the faceless monster because he knew that Gleipnir's mission would get fragments of the faceless monster.
The answer given by Xiaolu was: This is a low-level monster from the style series, and it is easy to target women who wear makeup.
Precisely because the goal of the Faceless Monster is relatively clear, and the rate of women wearing makeup in Modern City is extremely high, its magnitude is relatively large.
The magician's research on faceless monsters is also very in-depth.
The faceless monster's forward-looking ability can be summed up in three pieces: changing makeup, applying makeup, and removing makeup.
Makeup change is a one-click change of makeup. You need to set a set of makeup in advance. This is more friendly for lazy people. You can put on your makeup in one second before going out.
Makeup can be understood as having a set of "makeup products" that can never be used up, and you can freely put on makeup anytime and anywhere.
Makeup elimination is the "makeup elimination face" that Gleipnir now has.
Of these three foresight abilities, "disappearing makeup" is the rarest. The reason why it is rare is that this is an ability that can directly target others.
This is the characteristic of fashion magic, and it is difficult to have the ability to directly target others.
Although "Makeup Elimination" is not very powerful, it can directly remove other people's entire makeup, which is very useful at certain times.
For example, in a stage competition, your opponent secretly removes your makeup; in a social setting, when you are drinking and drinking, your makeup disappears with one click...
Of course, this is only limited to modern cities, because here fashion is always the theme, and makeup is a part of highlighting fashion, which is more important.
In the outside world, this ability is relatively useless.
After listening to Angel's story, Gleipnir raised his eyebrows: "It's rare, but the ability is actually useless."
Angel: "At least if you disassemble it and sell it, it will be more expensive than similar products."
Gleipnir was silent for a moment: "It can be sold more expensively? That can be considered an advantage."
However, if you want to dismantle it and sell it, you need to collect three puzzle pieces, which is currently impossible.
After reading the information about the faceless monster, Gleipnir looked down at the second reward.
No surprises, a new ritual rumor.
Starworm had received "Prayer Rumors" before, but the rumors she got this time were——
"Sacrifice rumors: What is a sacrifice? The thing that is most desired for the object of sacrifice can be called a sacrifice. And what is the carnival night clown who is sealed in the lightless room, what is the most desired thing? Light, sound , food, maybe we can start from these three aspects.”
In this rumor, there are also three words that can be clicked, namely "light, sound, and food".
Gleipnir clicked them one by one.
"Light: The clown is locked in a lightless room on carnival night. What he desires most is undoubtedly light, and the best "lamp" has witnessed the birth of glory."
"Sound: After staying in a dead room for a long time, the clown also longs for sound on carnival nights. The more carnival it has, the more lively it is. It especially misses the bustle of the three major competitions."
"Food: The clown also eats food at the carnival night, especially since it has been hungry for countless years, its desire for food has reached the extreme. However, its food is different from humans. It likes to eat top-quality oil paints and colorful fabrics. , my favorite food is undoubtedly the wax in the carnival paper lanterns.”
There is no doubt that the above three are the "sacrifice" required in the ceremony.
If they want to complete the ritual, they need to prepare these sacrifices to summon the carnival night clown.
But judging from the text descriptions, these three types of sacrifices seem a bit strange.
Before he clicked on the sub-column, Gleipnir thought that the so-called sacrifices were just a matter of buying the corresponding items directly. But now it seems that except for "food" related sacrifices, there seems to be no way to buy other sacrifices in comparison.
Especially the "sound", the information shows that the carnival night clown misses "the bustling noise of the three major competitions". Could it be that they are asked to find someone to simulate the noise of the three major competitions?
How many people are needed?
In short, when Gleipnir saw these three types of sacrifices, he only felt that one was as big as two.
There are still three and a half hours left. Can these three kinds of sacrifices really be prepared?
Gleipnir informed Angel of the "rumors of sacrifices" and also explained his worries.
After Angel heard the "sacrifice" information, he didn't quite understand what these sacrifices were for, but he didn't panic: "Since the sacrifice information is marked in the text column, we must be able to complete it."
"Just like 'Sound', what we want is the bustle and bustle of the three major competitions. I personally think that there is a high probability that we are not going to find someone to simulate the three major competitions..."
Because even if it is simulated, it is not the real three major competitions.
Moreover, the cost of this simulation is definitely not low, it may even cost hundreds of thousands of Modern Coins, which is a bit excessive for the second round of the main mission.
Because the tasks must be from easy to difficult, there is a high probability that there will be no tasks of this difficulty in the second round.
"There is no way to simulate the three competitions, but we can find videos of the past three competitions." Angel: "Especially when we are helping Prada Media Company, and the Prada Beauty Pageant used to be one of the three competitions, although Prada Media Company is now It’s gone, but there should be photos of past games.”
In other words, if they want to get a "sound" sacrifice, they can go to Prada Media Company to "borrow" images from past games.
When Gleipnir heard this, he also came to his senses: "It seems...that's the reason."
Angel: "The other two sacrifices should be based on this idea. In this way, you first go to Prada Media Company, meet up with Starworm, and see if you can borrow the images of the past 'Prada Beauty Pageant'. "
"And I, here on the black market, just happened to be looking at the 'food' sacrifices to see if I could buy them. I also wanted to think about the 'light' sacrifices."
Gleipnir nodded: "Okay."
After a pause, Gleipnir asked again: "By the way, how is the situation over there? Have the disassembled pages been sold?"
Angel: "Don't worry, it has been sold, and I have collected one million."
Gleipnir: "?!!"
"Is it enough so quickly? You couldn't have asked someone to 'borrow' it directly, right?"
Angel: "I thought about asking someone to 'borrow' it, but before I could 'borrow' it, I had already collected one million."
Angel did not hide anything and told what happened in the deep black market.
When Gleipnir learned that Angel had made a million dollars directly with the "Golden Scissors", he couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, when you have exclusive skills, you can implement a business monopoly..."
Angel: "...it hasn't reached the stage of monopoly yet."
Graipnir just said it casually, but when she heard that Angel had completed his small goal of one million, she relaxed a little.
Even with the normal clearance method for the second round of the main mission, they didn't have time to complete it.
But by "throwing money", we should be able to create a path.
Although according to the normal process, this road is likely to be a dead end, they do not have to take this road. As long as Yusup's mouth is opened first and the second round of the main mission is in the "clearance" state, with more time, they can continue to complete the ritual and summon the carnival night clown.
Once you get the Carnival Night Clown, won't you be able to get the out-of-control main plot back on track?
Therefore, the way to spend money is to use Modern Coin to buy time.
However, Gleipnir personally still hopes that he will not use it without throwing money.
After all, "throwing money" is just their imagination. What if the main mission collapses because of "throwing money".
So if you can pass it normally, you must still pass it in the normal way.
Throwing money is just an insurance policy.
"I can also ask the Hermitage about the ritual sacrifices." Angel: "Although the Hermitage is a grassroots establishment, their background is not simple. Maybe they can better understand the meaning of the sacrifices."
"Okay." Gleipnir also knew about the Hermit Society at this time, and she was quite interested in this imported organization that had little foundation but rich heritage.
However, this kind of interesting exploration needs to wait until the main mission is over.
Angel: "Then let's split up."
…
Angel also didn't expect that one second he was walking out of the deep black market, and the next second he was going back to the black market.
However, he did not forget to contact the Hermits before that.
Open the holographic projection through the Hermit Ring, and then skillfully control the energy to touch the Hermit Association logo.
Not long after, a sweet voice came from the holographic projection: "Hello, this is the Hermit Association receptionist No. 019, need transfer service, please tell me the code name of the transfer object. If you need other services..."
Angel: "Please transfer me to Xiaolu."
The other party paused for a second and said again: "Okay, please wait."
After waiting for about a few seconds, Xiaolu's voice came out: "Mr. Angel?"
And not only the voice, but also the light and shadow were simulated. I saw a half-body image of Xiaolu appeared in the holographic projection, and she was looking over in surprise.
"Sir, is there anything you forgot to tell me?" Xiaolu asked curiously.
Angel did not ask immediately, but greeted politely first, and asked about Kalean's physical condition.
Xiaolu smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have already found a doctor. Kalean is fine. He will recover after a rest."
"I'm glad he's fine." Angle paused, and under Xiaolu's curious gaze, he began to talk about business: "By the way, I remember you said before that the Hermits can retrieve some intelligence knowledge?"
"Yes, as long as we know."
Angel made a long sigh of relief, and then said seriously: "I want to know some information about ritual sacrifices."
"Ritual sacrifices?" Xiaolu was stunned.
Angel: "Yes, to be precise, I have been studying a ritual recorded in an ancient book recently. But the sacrifices required for this ritual are a bit strange, and I don't quite understand it."
Xiaolu: "It's related to the ritual. Although our Hermits have records, I personally recommend that you don't try the ritual easily. The ritual is often associated with some not-so-good... things."
Xiaolu said it very obscurely, but Angle probably understood her concerns.
He smiled and said, "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry. The rituals I studied are all ordinary rituals, such as the ritual of wearing a red string on the hand to change luck."
"Moreover, the quality of the ritual can be seen from the type of sacrifice."
In other words, if Xiaolu is worried, then listen to what he said about "sacrifice" to know whether the ritual is good or bad.
Xiaolu thought about it and felt that what Angle said was right.
The sacrifices of those evil rituals are mostly related to blood, filth, and secret objects, which can be judged at a glance.
Since Angle asked her about the ritual sacrifices, she could naturally judge whether it was an evil ritual.
"I understand, then what is the ritual sacrifice that sir wants to know about?"
