Chapter 51 Observations
Seeing his brother open his eyes, Aurore originally planned to comfort him that "non-spellcasting sequences have to be tried at least several times to succeed in meditation, and some even have to practice for five or six days or more than half a month", but found that Lumian was sweating profusely on his forehead, and there was obvious fear in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Aurore asked with concern.
Lumian took two breaths, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became:
"I succeeded in meditating, my spirit seemed to float, surrounded by various colors and faint gray mist superimposed on each other, some things I can't describe specifically wandering around, there were a few particularly bright and pure lights in the sky, no, not necessarily the sky, maybe far away, I can't be sure."
"According to your description, it was indeed a success." Aurore began to explain, "What your 'astral spirit' sees or senses is the spirit world, where many concepts of reality either do not exist or are mixed together, so you feel that it is both high in the sky and far away.
"The seven lights are the seven lights of the spiritual world mentioned in some ancient books, and they are believed to have a personality close to the gods, know everything, and belong to a fairly friendly hidden being.
"Those things that wander around and cannot be described belong to spirit creatures, but you don't seem to see much, and they are not clear enough, this should be the limitation of the 'hunter' sequence, the spirituality is not high enough, hmm...... It is estimated that it will be more difficult to open the spiritual vision later, and the final effect will definitely not be very good, hehe, it is better than nothing."
She has been observing her brother's condition and is ready to interrupt the teaching and give help at any time.
Seeing that Lumian was gradually returning to normal, she finished what she needed to say in one breath, and then asked:
"But what you see won't scare you, don't you have a nickname called 'Bold Lumian'? Recently, I have also seen bizarre, absurd, and spiritually polluted things such as time loops, people turning into sheep, men giving birth, and parades of the 'Night Lady'.
Hearing the things mentioned by her sister, Lumian's forehead veins jumped slightly, and she didn't really want to recall, especially the part related to Mrs. Puaris.
He exhaled and said:
"I felt that something was watching me deep in the spirit world, or very high and high places.
"Just staring at it scared me very much, I couldn't restrain myself, and I went straight out of the meditative state."
Aurore's eyes moved slightly, and he said thoughtfully:
"I suspect that it is related to the two strange symbols on the chest you mentioned, which are related to some hidden existence, which may point to the source that traps Cordu in the cycle, or represent the 'special' that allows you to maintain sobriety and strength in dreams and cycles.
"As a 'hunter,' you succeed on your first attempt at full meditation, and there is a high probability that those two symbols will have an effect."
Lumian nodded as he listened, agreeing with his sister's statement.
This frustrated him:
"In this case, I can't meditate, as long as I succeed, I will be watched, and I will have to get out of that state, and I think it is not a good thing to always be watched."
"Do you think you are not being watched now?" Aurore laughed and said, "It's just that you haven't entered a meditative state and can't sense it. Since there is no way to escape, you will inevitably suffer damage, so it is better to try more, improve the corresponding resistance, so that the time to meditate gradually increases, and in the future, when facing certain situations, this may give you an advantage, of course, before becoming a sequence 7 'arsonist', 'hunters' hardly need deep meditation, you should wait for your spirituality to be improved before trying."
"Why does it sound a bit miserable." Lumian had adjusted his mentality and laughed at himself, "I can't resist, I have to enjoy it."
Aurore said "heh":
"In this situation, I would rather have a special person like you, even if I will face many unknown dangers and difficulties because of this, but at least the next time I cycle, I can keep my memory, and I don't need you to remind me, which will miss many details."
She then glanced out the window that had already darkened:
"It's time to teach you how to open spiritual vision.
"You continue to sit and try to meditate again, you don't need to completely enter that state of floating thoughts, although it will be more conducive to opening spiritual vision, but isn't there some hidden presence watching?"
"Hmm." Lumian leaned against the back of the chair, relaxed his body, first outlining the sun in his mind, and then replacing it with the ball that his sister had drawn randomly.
He did not repeatedly outline the symbol, and stopped when his body and mind became quiet.
Aurore observed his state and said softly:
"Okay, raise your hands in the current state and put them in front of your eyes, you can open your eyes."
Lumian maintained a calm mind and body, slowly opened his eyes, and found that his sister had extinguished the kerosene lamp at some point, plunging the first floor into darkness, with only a little crimson moonlight outside the window illuminating the outline of various things.
After getting used to it, he barely saw his hands.
"Index fingers are facing each other in the air, close but don't touch ......" Aurore began to guide, "Then, put the focal length behind your hand, which can be behind the opposite point, and when you are done with this step, slowly move your fingers so that they remain opposite and not touching, well, they can't leave your sight."
Lumian did exactly what he did, letting his gaze fall on the void behind his hand, and moving his fingers.
He moved it countless times, but he still couldn't find any change.
Before long, he couldn't support his meditative state and withdrew.
"Did you see anything?" Aurore asked.
Lumian shook his head.
"'Hunter' is more difficult, don't have psychological pressure, if you can't do it next time, you can go down next time, if you can't do it today, you can do it tomorrow." Aurore said with relief, "Don't worry, ordinary people with high spiritual skills can open spiritual vision after a period of professional training, let alone extraordinary people, of course, the effect is another matter."
If this cycle doesn't work, you can cycle next time, but if the next cycle doesn't work, there may not be a next time...... Lumian muttered in his heart.
He has always been a very resilient and patient person, and after a short rest, he regained some energy and started trying again.
After failing again and again, he finally saw a little fiery red color popping out of the void where the two index fingers were facing each other.
Successful? Lumi was overjoyed, turned her head sideways, and looked at her sister.
He immediately saw a little red light coming out of Aurore's body, covering the surface.
"Didn't you say you can see the various colors of the 'Aether Body'?" Lumian asked suspiciously.
Aurore happily asked:
"Successful?"
Lumian nodded and described his experience.
"It really worked." Aurore breathed a sigh of relief, "You are good, it is probably because of the 'special' bonus on your body, if you are another 'hunter', you should not be able to turn on spiritual vision without ten days and a half months of practice, and it will be easier to even be promoted to sequence 8. Well, what you see is a very vague 'Aether Body', red means I'm still healthy, as for the rest, 'Hunter' don't want to look at it, your 'Spirit Body' strength doesn't allow it."
She immediately took out the miniature inkwell and unscrewed the cap:
"Try to see if you can see the 'blank paper'."
Lumian stared and saw an almost transparent blurry bubble floating out of the bottle's mouth.
It was very similar to the one he blew out with soapy water, the size of a fist, dyed crimson due to the moonlight.
Lumian was barely able to see this thing, and he felt like he would lose track of the other party as long as he blinked.
The bubble floated in mid-air and flew towards Aurore's palm, which held it and tickled it with his thumb.
The transparent bubble suddenly contracted inward, then slowly opened again, repeating this action.
Lumi calmed down and told her sister what she saw.
"It's very vague?" Aurore shook her head, "The 'hunter's' spiritual vision is really not very good, the 'etheric body' can only see the most basic concepts, and the creatures in the spiritual world can only find 'white paper', most of which you can't see."
"It's better than nothing." Lumian replied to her with what her sister had just said.
He had never seen a stronger spiritual vision, and he was still relatively satisfied with the current situation.
Aurore didn't say much, instructing Lumian to turn off his vision by re-meditating, gathering his spirit, repeatedly telling himself to stop his spirit, and training him to constantly suggest himself in the meditative state just now to set simple actions to turn on and off the vision.
Lumian practiced again and again, mastering the method of turning on and off spiritual vision, but he never succeeded in the "shortcut key" mentioned by Aurore, and only vaguely touched the key.
"Okay, you rest, we will observe what is wrong with the priest of the dungeon hall." Aurore saw that his brother's face was already pale and his spirit was greatly consumed, so he hurriedly let him take a nap.
The two went up to the second floor and turned on the desk lamp in the study.
Lumian quickly fell asleep in the easy chair, while Aurore casually read the book, waiting for the night to get darker.
Not long after, Lumian entered the dream realm, but he was in no hurry to explore and forced himself to continue sleeping.
Finally, he was woken up by Aurore:
"You can observe the priest of the dungeon hall."
"Hmm." Lumian sat up and looked at his sister.
Aurore opened the miniature inkwell and stroked the "white paper" with her right hand, her eyes quickly becoming dark and deep.
With the help of the covenant, she whispered in Hermes:
"My contract creature, the special one that carries my eyes."
Lumian next to him could neither understand nor see, because he didn't turn on his "spiritual vision" and could only wait patiently.
In a few seconds, Aurore withdrew his palm, sat down, and said to Lumian:
"'White paper' went to the priest's house in the replica hall."
Lumian took a closer look and found that what was reflected in his sister's eyes was not the scene of the study and her own figure, but the trees gently swaying their branches and leaves in the darkness.
The trees quickly retreated.
Is this the picture seen by the "blank paper"? Lumian had some understanding.
Aurore picked up a mirror with mercury on the back, took out a light white powder and threw it on it.
The powder quickly bloomed with brilliance, making the mirror seem to be covered with water waves.
Shuibo, the priest of the Replica Church, Michelle. Galligu appeared in the picture.
"White Paper" had come to the outside of the target's room and looked at him through the glass window.
At this time, Michelle. Galligu had fallen asleep, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was calm.
Aurore and Lumian patiently waited, observing from all angles with the help of "blank paper".
Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, the sleeping Michele opened her mouth slightly, and a blurred and transparent figure crawled out from there.
It was a lizard-like thing.
