World Occult User Guide

Ripe fruits, sour sweat, flowers, and black spices merge into the mist of the rainforest night.

Women sort through fort-like piles of kola nuts, fragrant wood branches and dried animal parts, sorting them into discarded bottles and jars.

They used their tough hands to build or re-build the pyramid-like mottled green oranges and mangoes, as well as the hard green bananas like banks.

The bonfire has been lit, and several chefs are making "fufu", a kind of gelatinous dough derived from the roots of cassava, which can be pounded into a white powder when dried and made into a staple food.

Kevin Van Hoofwegen has heard of Fu Fu. Its nutritional value is no different from that of a paper bag containing bread. What’s even more frightening is that it contains trace amounts of cyanide.

I don’t know why the rainforest people like to eat this kind of food and even regard it as the center of their lives.

The chefs cooked the fufu into tasteless chunks, poured it with pineapple juice, and presented it respectfully to the chief sitting on the seat of the fully open house, who invited Kevin to taste it together.

Seeing that the chief was Susumi's brother, Kevin pinched his nose, plucked up the courage, and tried to take a bite after much hesitation.

The strange smell filled the air, and he immediately spat out the fufu in his mouth and threw it to one side.

While waiting for the dinner specially cooked for him to be finished, Kevin could only look ahead to relieve his boredom.

"Jingle Bell--"

The men were dancing, their dark arms waving, their swinging loose clothes stuffed loosely around their waists, working quite hard.

They reminded Kevin of "Gandee Dancers", singing songs, nodding, advancing and retreating in unison, using heavy spears instead of props, and waving to some strange rhythm from time to time.

"How do you feel?" the chief asked Kevin.

"I'm not used to putting Southerners first in everything. Because in my home in Brossel, you stayed in a corner of the city, but here, every place feels like your territory."

"Our Tiger Fish Tribe has always obeyed every instruction of the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce." The chief said humbly, "Even this dance also refers to Flanders' dance method, which is a four-beat rhythm, two steps and then a circle."

"Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether I watch these men acting or not." Kevin said slowly, "In addition, they show full Nanzhou character, to be precise, it is a prominent feature of the Hutu nation. I don't like it very much. "

"Haha, you are joking, Master Van Hoofwegen... the Hutu, Twa and Tutsi have been married for more than ten centuries, how can they have any characteristics?"

"I can't explain it to you," Kevin sighed. "When daytime comes, these Gandy dancers will use this spear to hunt animals, raising their bony arms high and holding what will become their dinner."

"We always have to hunt for food. Aren't animal skins and tusks one of the items purchased by the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Having said that, you shouldn't proudly shake your animal-killing tools, especially in front of me." Kevin frowned, "Oh my God, this is quite unfriendly to vegetarians."

"vegetarian?"

“I don’t eat meat and live a healthy and environmentally friendly lifestyle.”

"You mean to let them leave, right?" The chief waved his hand, and the dancers dispersed happily. The bonfire surged, sparks flew everywhere, and Kevin yawned in various ways.

"When will Susumi come back? You said she just took a long trip this morning."

"I think……"

Before the chief finished speaking, the sound of "pat, pat" footsteps came from behind the house.

The two turned their heads, their black hair spread out. The Karu mermaid with a swallow tail wrung out the moisture in her hair and smiled at them, with crescent blue eyes.

"Susumi!" Kevin came up to meet him, "You've arrived, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Hey, who are you? I don't know you."

Susumi was a little nervous and wanted to step back. Kevin stretched out a finger, and the shining luster of the ring turned into bright smoke like stardust, wrapping her limbs.

The fire-breathing giant spirit stretched out its hand like an invisible shackle.

"You are as lovely as I remember," he said. "The savagery here is not worthy of your beauty. Let me take you temporarily away from the wet soil and dangerous rivers to live in the dream of blooming roses."

The helpless Susumi struggled a few times, but was tightly restrained by the dust. She had no choice but to help her brother with helpless eyes. The latter was stunned at first, then lowered his head helplessly, and even took the initiative to introduce him.

"This is the Young Master of the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce, Young Master Kevin Van Hoofwegen. He is the only child of Countess Mariette Van Hoofwegen."

"Sit here, Susumi, let us take a closer look at each other's faces." Kevin supported her, "Chief Mbawan, stir the fire to make it more prosperous."

With the chief's helpless acquiescence, Susumi reluctantly sat down next to Kevin.

At first she looked around, too shy to look up, but Kevin changed his carelessness and chatted with her in a gentle and patient tone, cleverly avoiding things that made her uneasy, and soon brought her into a fascinating world.

Susumi still didn't speak, but she raised her head in confusion, looking excited, and listened very seriously.

"Fucking scumbag!"

Kevin, who was chatting happily with the girl, didn't notice the two figures who came with Susumi.

The butterflies that can be seen everywhere in the jungle flap their wings wildly, venting their inner anger, while the other one uses the invisibility technique of [Ghost Deer] to hide in Lin An in the darkness.

Kevin uses demons, and the space mark engraved on the back of his hand is a legendary "visionary" mystery, which is comparable to Zai's power and can be resolved with wild flowers.

However, Lin An did not take the opportunity to completely eliminate the mark.

Not only does this expose the fact that he and Zai are temporary allies, it also raises more questions for Kevin about Lin An's specific rating, mystery, and medium.

He simply used a trick and asked Zai to transfer the spatial mark to the "Little Man in the Bottle". As an alchemy product of an artificial human, its internal structure was very similar to that of a real person.

Since [The Little Man in the Bottle] still stores part of Zai's energy, the transfer of the mark is very smooth.

Although Zai gritted his teeth when he saw the man in the bottle who had stolen his abilities, he had been in contact with Lin An for a week and understood that this young man was not easy to mess with. It was indeed him who was wrong in the first place and gritted his teeth. , had to comply.

With the cooperation of the two, Kevin didn't notice Lin An's position moving at all, thinking that he was still staying in the hut of the spotted lion tribe.

At this moment, Kevin was unconscious and talking loudly with Susumi.

"Calm down, uncle." Lin An said.

"That child is only in his early teens, and he can do it! What a bullshit civilization, it's really unforgivable!" Zai cursed angrily, "Do the people of Xizhou like little girls so much?"

"There are also some who prefer little boys."

Zai was stunned, his worldview was shocked, countless curse words came to his throat, and finally turned into one sentence.

"damned!"

In fact, in most areas of the rainforest and Bantu, baby brides are very common. Zai's concept is obviously an educated moral concept.

Considering the rumors that he was from Kinshasa, Lin An became curious about this man's identity.

Is he really just an ordinary "carpenter"?

"Okay, uncle, when the battle is over, you will have plenty of opportunities to be angry. You have no doubts about the plan we talked about before."

"I'll first force him to enter a fantasy world, giving you a chance to observe his mysterious items up close and get some data on the panel... etc. Once it's confirmed, I'll go up with you and kill him."

"Wrong, Mr. Zai, I asked you to turn around and flee - a strategic retreat."

"Humph, just retreat." Zai flapped his butterfly wings, "Then you stare at him with those eyes, and when the 'true nature' is revealed, kill him with one blow."

Lin An nodded. Although there is a high probability that he can kill Kevin alone, with Zai's information, he can further ensure that Kevin cannot escape through the mysterious items and meet up with the [Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce] to expose more of his information. .

"Are you sure you can kill him in one go?" Zai said worriedly.

"I wouldn't dare to vouch for other mysterious prototypes, but this gentleman is first-class lucky because I happen to have the means to suppress him. Uncle, do you remember that I mentioned to you, 'The Little Black Hen' The original text comes from The Lamp of Astaroth'."

"Devil, devil, devil!" Zai snorted impatiently, "This is the limit of my memory. What the hell, I can't remember so many complicated words."

"Astaroth is the name of the devil in Egypt. In the Western Continent, he is called 'Astarus', the 29th demon god among Solomon's seventy-two pillars of demons. In the famous play "Faust", the alchemist One of the summoned demons.”

Lin An smiled slightly, and curled his index finger and thumb, as if holding some strange bronze weapon.

"But in more ancient times, Astaroth was derived from the name of a goddess."

"Oh?" Zai frowned suspiciously, "What's it called?"

"Asherah."

Zai had never heard of this Canaanite goddess, and Lin An did not explain further.

Because they were in front of them, Kevin's words gradually became less and less. He looked directly into Susumi's eyes, full of warmth and a hint of rising desire.

Finally, he couldn't hold it any longer and hugged Susumi's waist.

"Miss Mermaid, don't continue Macbeth's tragedy, let the feast tonight never end!"

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

Susumi was originally immersed in the colorful world that Kevin painted for her, but was suddenly hugged by force. Her dream shattered into putrid sludge, and she subconsciously pushed him away with her arms.

"Don't be so resistant. I just made a love spell for you through conversation."

Kevin held the shining silver amulet between his fingers. His tone was kind, but he could not refuse.

"The magic of love works through empathy, so neither spells nor prayers require a 'granted will'. From now on, words will automatically fulfill my purpose for you, let 'love' act as the attraction between two souls" force comes into play.”

"Don't come closer!"

Susumi screamed, and the leaders of the Tiger Fish Tribe on the other side chose to turn a blind eye. Only the chief raised his hand and pinched his sour nose slightly.

"Outsiders, get out of here!"

A butterfly swooped down, darkness descended on Kevin, and a thick boa constrictor swam at his feet. Its head looked like a strange red fruit, standing tall like an Egyptian statue, showing its calmness.

"It's you again, damn blind beggar! Bad beggar!" Kevin suddenly fell from the gentle village into the abyss of bizarre things, and cursed, "It is your stubbornness that forced us to send out peacekeeping troops!"

"I am not a beggar, I am Zay Stanislas Wabracombe." The python's tongue expanded and contracted.

"Who cares about your name! Go to hell!"

The fingertips of Kevin's left hand crossed the fingers of his right hand, and the five magic rings shone brightly. Zay raised his head, and his scales spread out, throwing out a brilliant rainbow, and each color turned into a hundred people.

They grabbed rocks and smashed them at Kevin in the center.

"An unattainable fantasy!"

Kevin shouted a spell, and a mirror on a chain around his neck reflected dazzling flames. In the blink of an eye, the stone melted, the figure screamed, and the rainbow fell.

"Huhuhu, huhula——"

However, Kevin thought he understood the overall situation, but he didn't know that the moment the rainbow disappeared, the python shrank, and a bright venomous snake bit hard at his ankle.

"ah!"

Kevin staggered back a few steps. The intense pain made his face twitch. He stretched out his hand and tightly grasped the snake around his ankle.

The poisonous snake refused to let go, its veins ruptured, and blood dripped down Kevin's arm, and was instantly evaporated by the hot earth.

The pain caused an unexplained dull pain to flash through Kevin's mind. He realized that the high temperature of the fantasy world had burned onto his skin, causing him to start to have a fever. His whole body ached and he was delirious.

This is a sign of being mired in madness.

As Lin An expected, Kevin and Zai were equally powerful, and the latter was even better.

"Litan, Izer, Osnas!"

After all, Kevin is a member of an aristocratic family and is not a vegetarian.

Realizing that he was underestimating his enemy, Kevin bit his lip and made a series of weird buzzing sounds from the tip of his tongue.

The wind changed slightly, carrying a violent air.

With the conversion of energy, the viper's eyes became darker and darker, and a cold force destroyed its body. The deformed monster stepped on the hexagram's magic circle, sprayed thick air, and gradually appeared.

Zai's Hades Illusion and the Black Little Hen's summoning concept sometimes reach the same goal through different paths, so Chicken Brother simply used Zai's poisonous snake as a sacrifice to generate an undead demon from hell. Lin An, who was watching the battle, thought to himself.

Not only that, Kevin took advantage of the demon and the illusion to untie the silk scarf on his wrist and shake it, and the black little hen strutted.

"Gu Gu Da..."

While it was shouting, it tilted its head towards a corner of the illusion that was difficult to detect, which was where Zai's body was.

"Found it! I will never let you go this time!"

Kevin took out a delicate and small amulet and patted it on his chest.

The ethereal atmosphere spread out, causing Lin An's pupils to shrink.

Because he sensed a hint of the "Goddess with the Lamp" in it! (End of chapter)
