Chapter 2 The Art of Invisibility
a long time ago.

There is such a group of people.

They have unimaginable curiosity and extraordinary insight.

With the help of that keen insight, they gradually discovered some phenomena and laws that were different from the common sense in the world.

With the continuous exploration of these phenomena and laws, they gradually become aware of the existence of a world that is completely different from the world that ordinary people live in...

They believed that world was beyond the reach of mortals.

It is the abode of immortals high above, the land of nine seclusions flowing with the underworld, and the place of constant contradictions.

And given it many titles.

Immortal world, underworld, pure land, vacuum hometown...

And now, it is called "Phantom World" by the world.

Rumor has it that immortal gods and the secret of longevity are hidden in the fantasy world...

Therefore, throughout the ages, people's pursuit and exploration of the fantasy world has never stopped.

The "invisible art" is a way to use the secret knowledge from the fantasy world to leverage the laws of the world and perform incredible art.

But now, Jiang Ge suspected that the shadow he encountered was the creation of the invisible technique.

No, don't doubt it.

That must be the creation of the invisible technique.

And it is the most troublesome category among the invisible creations.

Just like a sword cannot hurt a disembodied ghost.

Ordinary physical attacks can't work on that shadow.

It was also in an attempt that he accidentally discovered that the firelight could block the shadow's movements.

And only the light of the fire can, the light of the electric lamp has no effect at all.

Perhaps sunlight should also work.

Because that shadow never appears during the day, and disappears before dawn every day.

Sitting in the cafeteria of Longgong University, Jiang Ge was thinking about the food in front of him while chewing.

"The fear of ordinary people about the invisible technique does not lie in its destructive power, but in the strangeness that ordinary people cannot understand."

This is what he reads from a book.

Originally, he didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.

Now he feels like he probably understands.

It's not that he didn't think about asking other people or even the government for help. The problem is that no one can see that shadow except him.

His report was obviously perfunctory, and there has been no response so far.

Some people around him thought he was sick and had hallucinations.

There was even a silly... kind person recommended bloodletting therapy to him.

"So, the only way I can deal with that shadow now is the invisibility technique that also comes from the illusion world!"

A stern look flashed in Jiang Ge's eyes.

"Teacher Jiang Ge, are you going out?"

A familiar voice came from beside him.

Jiang Ge followed the voice and looked.

A young man wearing glasses who was bald at a young age and looked like a big man sat beside him with a plate.

Wang De, the literary history lecturer recruited by Longgong University this year, is five or six years older than him, but the two have a good relationship.

"Teacher Wang De." Jiang Ge nodded as a response, "I have to go out and deal with some things."

Wang De looked at Jiang Ge's face, and said with concern, "Mr. Jiang Ge, I heard that you have asked for leave for several days...

Seriously, if the doctors in the hospital really can't cure your disease.

Why don't you try the bloodletting therapy I told you before, it's amazing, last time I had hemorrhoids..."

The corners of Jiang Ge's mouth twitched slightly, and he mumbled a few words, "Hmm...thank you, I will try it if I have a chance."

Then he stuffed the rest of the food into his mouth in a few bites, picked up the plate and ran away without looking back.

Yes, this Teacher Wang De is the stupid... kind person who recommended bloodletting therapy to him.

He is a nice person, very enthusiastic, and likes to try new things.

In recent years, with the empire's attack on the Second Mountain and Sea, some strange customs have also been passed down there, including this bloodletting therapy.

According to Wang De, once he had hemorrhoids, he tried it out of curiosity, and wow, it was really cured.

Jiang Ge didn't know how bloodletting could cure hemorrhoids.

But for that he was insensitive.

He was paralyzed by that shadow, and then he bled all over.

That's not a direct ascension to heaven.

Leave Dragon Palace University.

Jiang Ge got on the tram to the shopping street.

ten minutes later.

Shopping Street.

"Miss Boss, has my order arrived?"

Jiang Ge came to a flower shop and asked.

"It's here, guest, take a look, they were all picked just this morning."

The proprietress took out a small wooden box and handed it to Jiang Ge.

Jiang Ge opened the wooden box, and inside was a fresh-keeping ice pack and a small bag of white petals.

It's laurel petals.

This is one of the materials for the invisible technique that he will use next.

Confirm that there is no problem.

Jiang Ge nodded, paid and left.

Then, he turned around again and again, and walked to an old grocery store in the dark depths of the shopping street.

The owner of the grocery store is a middle-aged man with a treacherous face.

"Guest, what a coincidence, the five-color glaze you want is out of stock there. I bought a new batch from other places. The quality is definitely better than the last batch, but the price is a little more expensive..."

"How much?" Jiang Ge frowned.

The boss rubbed his fingers and said with a flattering smile, "It's 10 silver coins more expensive than the previous batch, 20 silver coins."

…………

Leaving Jiang Ge from the grocery store was a little uncomfortable.

Looking at the boss's performance, he knew that 20 silver coins was definitely a loss.

However, he is not in the mood to bargain now.

"Fortunately, the most important five-color glaze is here..."

In Jiang Ge's hands, a glazed bead reflected colorful colors in the sunlight, just like a dream.

The invisible technique he mastered is a ritual called [Mirror Ritual].

It was when he interpreted a book called "The Origin of Mirrors".

Materials needed for the ceremony include:

"Mirror, laurel petals, colored glass"

He had already prepared the mirror.

Now the laurel petals and five-color colored glaze are also available.

"Next, it's time to find a suitable venue for the ceremony."

Jiang Ge thought for a while, then went straight out of the city.

…………

Outside Dragon Palace City, an abandoned factory.

The surrounding area is deserted and there are few people.

Jiang Ge stepped on the grass as high as his knees and walked into the abandoned factory.

The roof of a certain part of the factory was dilapidated and decayed due to years of disrepair, and a large hole with a diameter of three to four meters was broken.

Exposing a large expanse of clear blue sky.

Jiang Ge nodded slightly. The ritual of the mirror is not demanding on the environment, but only on the celestial phenomena.

So it fits right here.

After finding an iron rod full of rust, Jiang Ge cleaned up the space below the big hole, and threw the iron rod aside casually.

"By the way, beasts are also a problem..."

Jiang Ge went to the outskirts of the factory again, inspected it, and confirmed that there were no traces of wild animals.

But just in case, some measures were taken.

Then I went back to rest in the open space.

While waiting for the night to come.
