World Occult User Guide

Time goes back to 24 hours ago.

When the war came to an end, Reagan dismissed Lin An, Mi Xi and Barry and said goodbye to his tired companions. Lin An returned to the room and lay down directly in the space capsule.

Press the button and everything falls into darkness.

Probably because he accepted Simon's healing power, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

"The system calls up three entries: "Toward the Animal Theology of the Natives of Upper East Asia IV: Hodag", "The Cold Gods of the North V: The Deep Frozen Old Man", and "The Concept of Witches and Evil III: The Hand of Glory" .”

The green data appeared in front of Lin An, who read their respective abilities carefully.

The ratings of the mystics killed by [100% Hit] are all at the level of ghost stories, and the cost-effectiveness of mysticism is low.

[Hodag]'s two abilities are related to transformation, one is to increase strength, and the other is to increase speed. Just looking at the names, Lin An sentenced them to death for the probability of using them.

He couldn't think of any situation where he would need to take the risk of turning into an animal and fighting hand-to-hand with another person.

Shooting the mystic was purely to obtain its "natural sacrifice" medium.

[Old Man Deep Freeze]'s abilities are related to cold. One is to summon a blizzard to obscure the enemy's sight; the other is to enhance cold resistance, which can come in handy under extreme conditions.

The two mysterious techniques cannot be said to be completely useless, but Lin An feels that it will be difficult for him to use them in the future.

Because using [Old Man Deep Freeze] requires the medium of the "God of Truth".

This happened to conflict with the consumption of the first two "Encyclopedia of Magic I". The "God of Truth" was too rare, and Lin An did not want to waste it on a ghost-level mystery.

Why use Blizzard to control an enemy that can be killed with Hittite ritual?

Only the last "Knowledge Seeker" mystery was very interesting. Lin An asked the system to move the other two entries and put the [Hand of Glory] panel in the center.

[Name]: Hand of Glory

[Rating]: Ghost story D grade

[Radiation value]: 8.2%

[Pollution level]: 55.5%

[Medium]: Seekers of knowledge

[Mysterious Source]: In the medieval folklore of Xizhou, witches would cut off the hands of thieves who committed theft, wrap them in shrouds, put them in clay pots, and marinate them with saltpeter, salt and pepper.

After two months, they took it out, dried it, dipped their fingers in wax to make candles, and burned their fingers to induce fear and confusion.

The Hand of Glory is also used to test whether there are other souls in the room. If the burning Hand of Glory goes out, it means that a god or devil has appeared near the caster.

Consume the medium "Seeker" x1 and use the ability of the Hand of Glory [Listen to the Invisible Breath].

[Individual introduction]: A nanny discovered that someone had broken into her employer's house, so she called the police. Strangely, the police did not catch the thief.

About a month later, the thief came again, but this time the nanny failed to catch him in time. The flames burned and engulfed the hostess and two children. She, the only survivor, was accused of being the murderer.

The nanny finally knew who the thief was. She wanted to tell the truth to the judge, but no one believed it because the man had already settled the matter with his wife's insurance money.

Consume the medium "War Emperor" x1 and use the ability of Hand of Glory [Fall into Panic].

[Falling into Panic] is a high-end version of [Desperate Pinata]. It requires no prerequisites and can directly make the target panic.

And like [Ballad of the Other Side of the Mountain], [Falling into Panic] can take effect within a group.

Once it falls into the hands of anti-social elements, with a little use, this mysterious technique can easily cause a stampede of thousands of people. Fortunately, the radiation value of [Hand of Glory] is not high, and it was destroyed even if the mysterious technique was not used much. The Foundation discovered and contained it.

Compared with that, Lin An is more concerned about [Listening to Invisible Breathing]. Judging from the name and introduction, this seems to be an ability to "detect the mysterious person", but I don't know how wide the effective range is.

According to the characteristics of the "Knowledge Seeker" medium, if [Listening to the Invisible Breath] covers a mysterious person with a lower rating than it, Lin An can also get information about this person.

How about experimenting?

Since it only consumes one "Knowledge Seeker" medium, when I test it, can it attract a new "Knowledge Seeker" medium and increase the radiation value of [Mysterious Encyclopedia] by the way?

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible, so Lin An immediately used the mysterious technique.

In an instant, the energy of exploration spread out and enveloped the foundation's employee dormitory, forming an irregular circle with a radius of 10 meters with him as the center.

"There are two mystics by your side."

Is this Mishy and Barry?

The sixth sense flashed through his mind. Unfortunately, the rating of Hand of Glory was too low, so Lin An did not get their specific information, and then the system's mechanical sound sounded.

"Through the use of mystery, the radiation value of [Mysterious Encyclopedia] increased by 0.2%."

"Your strong curiosity about the world of 'Comoth' attracted the medium 'Knowledge Seeker' x1."

Sure enough, the mentality of experimenting with the occult attracted another medium.

Consume seekers of knowledge, gain seekers of knowledge, endless cycle...

Isn’t this a super perpetual motion machine?

Lin An rubbed his hands, unable to hide his excitement: "System, use [Listen to Invisible Breathing] again."

"There are two mystics by your side."

"Through the use of mystery, the radiation value of [Mysterious Encyclopedia] increased by 0.2%."

After waiting for a long time, the system did not announce the third sentence with a cold mechanical voice. Lin An pondered for a moment and probably understood the reason.

Only the testing of new mysteries can attract seekers.

In the first test, Lin An had turned the unknown into the known, so no matter how many times he used it afterwards, he could no longer attract "knowledge seekers".

Although a medium was wasted, Lin An was in a good mood after learning about the new rules of the Commerce world.

"Brother Tongzi, learn from others' Glory hand. When will you give me a 'remote identification' function? Old antique, you still want me to 'witness with my own eyes' every time I jump to the illustrated book."

"...Do you make a staff?"

Lin An suddenly got up from the bed: "You actually scolded me?"

Are you not my mysterious incarnation?

You are said to be a bit like a conscious JOJO stand-in, but you really think of yourself as Act-3!

"Oh, translation problem." The system explained, "What I mean is that [Ouroboros] and [Gem of Wisdom] have been analyzed, and you can 'trace the source' at any time to get more advanced entries. It just so happens that [Philosopher's Stone] Fragment I] is a magic wand.”

"I always feel like you did it on purpose."

"To avoid ambiguity, you can switch the language to 'Romance'."

The system is based on the mystery generated by the Encyclopedia of Magic, and the language of that book is ancient Romance.

"Forget it, the machine translation can barely be used."

Lin An took out [Ouroboros] and [Gem of Wisdom]. The mysterious person they belonged to was dead and the system could not record them. However, Lin An found that using alchemy seemed to be able to refine the energy of the two, fuse them together, and generate New mystery items.

Taking a deep breath, the system spoke Lin An's thoughts simultaneously.

"According to the entry "Encyclopedia of Magic II: Alchemy and the Philosopher's Stone - The Metal that Creates Life", a solution that meets the conditions was found - [Everything is One]."

"Do you want to consume the medium 'God of Truth' x1, 'Seeker' x1, 'God of Farming' x1, 'Mother of Desire' x1, and 'Dreamer' x1 for use?"

"use."

The next moment, the elemental gold of [Ouroboros] and the secular gold of [Gem of Wisdom] found the singular point of intersection. The spiritual model floated out of the metal form and merged with each other, as if they were born as one.

A more perfect metal prototype appeared in front of Lin An, its most subtle and pure parts inseparably fused together, incomparably balanced.

It is as transparent as crystal, dense, and easily fusible when exposed to fire, like resin or wax, but smokeless when flowing.

When Lin An stretched out his hand, the Ouroboros and the Wisdom Stone merged into one, and the energy slowly condensed in his palm, turning into a T-shaped wand.

Lin An's energy forms the main body of the wand, which is both illusory and real. The ouroboros of elemental gold wraps around the body of star gold, while the earthly gold of the wisdom gem sparkles at its end.

The shape of the wand reminded Lin An of the T-shaped cross of ancient Egypt and Mithraic rituals.

In legend, the image of the staff is often associated with magic, enlightenment, wisdom, immortality and healing.

The combination of snake and staff first appeared in Mesopotamian culture around 2600 BC, and often symbolized the god of healing.

In Greek mythology, Asklepios had a staff with a snake wrapped around it, which he could use to cure diseases; this is also the source of the World Health Organization's image.

The magician Hermes also used a wand entwined with a snake. His shaft represented strength, the snake represented wisdom or prudence, the helmet on the top of the wand represented lofty thoughts, and the wings represented diligence.

In alchemy, the golden wand has the power of transmutation, while the entwined snake maintains a wonderful balance of masculine and feminine qualities and is a symbol of the Midas touch.

"Through alchemy, you refined the essence of [Fragments of the Philosopher's Stone II] and passed them through 'tracing'. The new entry [Fragments of the Philosopher's Stone I] has been included; after your witness, [Pala The Five Matrices of Celsus] illustration has been unlocked.”

"This mysterious item absorbed your 'knowledge seeker' original energy during the birth process, and the [Mysterious Encyclopedia] radiation value dropped by 1%."

"Through the use of mystery, the radiation value of [Mysterious Encyclopedia] increased by 0.2%."

Lin An didn't expect that the system's radiation value could be lowered.

Holding the wand, he felt its core resonate with his own, seemingly able to use it without consuming a medium.

Something like the Canaanite Tablets or black bondage straps?

Is this the way to generate embodied mysticism?

After pondering for a moment, Lin An held the wand, and the energy changed in five ways. Elemental gems of red, blue, brown, gold, and green flowed at the end of the wand.

Information flowed into Lin An's mind.

The five magics are the punch of power, the flight of light, the infusion of emotion, the transformation of metal, and the healing of softness.
