World Occult User Guide

In the Ngaliema district of Kinshasa, the busiest commercial district, a thirty-story building sits on a flat concrete floor, with two armed security guards standing at the door.

A man in a suit showed his employee ID card. The hot and humid weather made him sweat profusely, and the armpits of his white shirt were covered with dark, moist traces.

Entering the commercial building, he finally felt the comfortable air conditioning and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ding dong."

The elevator door opened to both sides, and the man tugged on his tie uncomfortably, feeling as if someone was following him for some reason.

Are you too nervous at work lately?

There are very few people who can work in commercial buildings, let alone ordinary people like him with no political or military background. Even if he noticed something strange, the man could only swallow his saliva and walk into the elevator bravely.

In the narrow and claustrophobic space, the vague sense of peeping became more and more serious, and he nervously pressed down the floor.

"Ding dong."

The moment the elevator door closed, he was clearly alone, and a certain floor button suddenly lit up.

Ghost, ghost!

The man immediately pressed the button to open the door, but it was already too late. He wanted to press the button from the second floor to save the door, but he only felt someone putting it on the back of his hand.

"Dude, be a little bit civic-minded."

The sound frightened him so much that his brain shut down. He huddled in a corner subconsciously, pressed against the wall, and stared blankly at the floors going from 1st to 12th.

When the door opens, a bright, spacious, simple and elegant office comes into view. A poppy pattern is printed on the glass door of the front desk, and the company logo is written in Flemish.

Seeing the stiff man at the front desk, he sat up in confusion.

"Sir, what are you doing--"

Before she could finish her words, a weak wind blew past her ears, and the invisible breath beside the man rushed out, and then some kind of energy burst out, lasting less than twenty seconds.

"Bata, bah, bah."

Then, the man saw a line of blood flowing out of the office, forming a trail on the ground, extending all the way in front of him, stopping the elevator door that was about to close automatically, and then returned to him.

"Ahhh!"

Before the elevator door closed, the last thing that caught the man's eyes was the horrified and screaming face of the receptionist, the steaming blood gurgling from the tidy office, and someone who smashed the window in a panic and jumped from the 16th floor. scene.

His blood was about to freeze, and he stood motionless, like a marble statue.

"Ding dong."

The elevator finally stopped at his workplace, on the 18th floor of the building. The man maintained the same posture until someone kicked him out.

"Go to work well and don't be late."

Along with the cold voice, the man heard the sound of the elevator door closing behind him. The company's front desk looked at him with confusion and screamed for a while.

"Blood, blood—why are you bleeding!"

…………

Sadly, this news will never be reported.

When the media finishes editing the man's interview, the timeline will enter the loop again and everyone's memories will be reset.

Lin An, who remained invisible, went down to the hall, found a lazy sofa, and sorted out the harvest while enjoying the cool air conditioner.

It was noon on the seventh day when David sailed to Kinshasa, less than 12 hours before the next reset.

Lin An gave up taking a taxi and used the invisibility of [Ghost Deer] and the air flow of [Philosopher's Stone] to fly to the office of the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce.

The Countess died in the Mbambuka Rainforest. The mystics currently stationed in the Chamber of Commerce are far from Lin An's opponents. Unlike Kevin, who is a direct descendant, these people are just ordinary employees and do not have mysterious items with them.

A family is a family after all, even if it is a branch, there are 3 legendary and 5 disaster-level people stationed there.

As for the number of ghost stories, Lin An did not pay special attention to it. As "Comes" was getting closer and closer, more people were about to awaken. For example, he felt that the man on the elevator had a hint of becoming a mysterious person.

Although he did not deal with the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce, Lin An did not kill all the mystics. He only included a disaster-level entry called "Black Magic and Contract", and killed two legendaries by the way.

"Black Magic and the Book of Contracts" was written by the famous poet and scholar Arthur Edward Waite, a member of the famous occult group at the end of the 19th century, and one of the founders of the Waite Tarot school.

This grimoire, sometimes called The Book of Ceremonial Magic, was first published in 1898 and more widely distributed in 1910 under the title The Book of Ceremonial Magic.

It introduces in detail the famous magic books from all over the Western Continent, including the rituals and mysteries of Gotic magic, witchcraft and necromancy, and clarifies the history and legends behind them, making a clear integration.

The Ritual Grimoire also records the contents of some existing grimoires that can be made public, such as the Key of Solomon, the Grimoire Virum, Cornelius Agrippa's Pseudo-Fourth Book and the Great Red Dragon, which can be called a Century's introductory encyclopedia of occultism.

Among the entries included by Lin An, [How to light contract candles] was impressively included.

Then he looked at the two legendary items. In fact, their power was more or less in conflict with the items he had mastered or the functions of the mysterious items he had obtained. They were included simply to quickly replenish the media.

Using the [Contract Candle Lighting Method], Lin An stretched out his hand to hold the two burning candles.

The flickering light was brighter than just right, almost gray, an arc of bright gold in the darkness, drifting slowly across the vast room, making the shape of each piece of furniture clearly discernible.

The flame as weak as a baby spread a steady stream of warmth, casting floating light and shadow on Lin An's face.

The wisdom of the ancient gods, candlelight, is captivating and incomparable to the coldness of incandescent lamps. It allows the eyes to both see and rest, and is the perfect bridge between waking and dreaming.

Lin Jing watched quietly for a while and thought: What is different from before is that this time I am taking action to protect [World Tree] and my companions. It should not make the captain think... I am a disembodied ghost.

Nowadays, there are not many rules that can restrict Lin An from treating mystics as items to be included and as mediums to travel. Most aristocratic families will not yell at a source level because he killed several low-rated mystics. Kill and fight.

The only thing that restrains him is the memories of the past and the desire to become a human being.

Putting the Contract Candle and Mortil's Stone together, Lin An arranged them in the form of a contract triangle according to the records in "The Big Red Dragon".

Strange light surged, connecting three symbols that symbolized the bridge of protection and communication. The pattern of an inverted hexagram emerged, rising from the ground like a rubbing, and surrounding Lin An at a vertical angle.

It’s done.

This is the first step to sign a contract with the devil while protecting yourself.

Lin An pulled out the impact staff that the Countess had dropped from the Philosopher's Stone. After more than a month of training, the traces of burning faded away, and it was as smooth as new, like a short mahogany staff.

"Crack, snap, snap!"

Before Lin An could use the entry in the "Great Grimoire", the sound of fierce footsteps was heard, as well as a high-pitched siren sound of "woo woo woo".

Dozens of heavily armed soldiers walked into the hall, and a yellow seal was affixed to the automatic glass door.

"People in this building, listen up, the Public Security Bureau received a report ten minutes ago..."

Glancing at the well-trained soldiers, Lin An put away the green data, stretched out on the sofa, and left against their pace.

These people are not ordinary police officers, but close associates of the presidential escort.

From a secular perspective, the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce controls Bantu's international transportation and raw material exports, cooperates with warlords in most regions, and has hidden power comparable to that of the president himself.

On the other hand, the Chamber of Commerce is a member of the [Black City] and is an ally with the president himself, who also belongs to the [New Seven Sins Demon Lord].

The office was attacked, and three mysterious people in high positions died inexplicably, which was enough to attract the president's great attention.

When Lin An came to the Presidential Palace for the second time, the roar of tigers that lingered in his ears was pushed into the distance. The tigers were driven back to the president's private zoo by nervous servants, and the entire building complex was filled with a chilling and vigilant atmosphere. .

Even though the time was the same as last time, Lin An did not meet Tshisekedi chatting and laughing with his cronies on the same trail.

It is estimated that after he learned about the changes in the office of the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce, he temporarily canceled his plans for the afternoon.

After turning on the vent mode and being discovered by Tshisekedi inexplicably, Lin An did not dare to act rashly and retrieved the map of the presidential palace that he had drawn a few days ago from the tablet he carried with him.

The red line snaked up to the two places marked by Lin An, which were the president's office and the women's room.

After finishing the preparations, Lin An looked up and saw that the setting sun was all over the sky, dyeing the deep blue sky into a dreamy pink. The equatorial time was being prepared all year round, indicating that it was now about six o'clock in the afternoon.

Are there still six hours left?

"System, search for the method of 'finding the chief's hidden treasure'."

"According to the included entry "Master of Hidden Knowledge I: The Great Grimoire", a plan that meets the conditions was found - [Hand of Lucifer Rolfkar]."

"Do you want to consume the media 'War Emperor' x3, 'God of Truth' x1, and 'Lord of Dreams' x1 for use?"

"Use it."

Demonic writing flowed into Lin An's mind with the surge of energy. He raised his hand and used the impact staff to write a line of Latin-like but extremely twisted spell.

"Appear, Prime Minister of Hell, Great Treasurer, Master of Life and Death, Seeker of Refuge, Loyal Supporter of Lucifer, Chief of the Six Generals, Lucifuge Rofocale!"

According to the "Grand Magic Book", Lucifer Girovkar is a demon ordered by Lucifer to take charge of the government of Hell. Satan gave him the power to take charge of all earthly treasures and control the treasure troves of Hell together with another demon Mammon. .

Lucifer is almost fanatical and obsessed with Lucifer, and he faithfully executes every order of Lucifer, even at the expense of killing other demons.

At the same time, He had an extreme fear of divine light. The name "Lucifugus" comes from the Latin words: lux and fugio, meaning "one who flees from the light."

The phantom appeared along with the demonic text, and the contract triangle trembled, resisting the cold wind coming towards the face.

The devil, whose whole body is covered with an airtight gauze and has three horns of different shapes on his head, is like black mist. His appearance is not clear and his shape is blurry, but he can be seen to be an ugly and strong monster.

"It's great that you actually summoned me! I'm Lucifer, remember this name!" He roared at Lin An, who was staring at him with interest.

It's actually a ball of talking "Comes" energy.

According to the law of generation of mysterious prototypes, legendary creatures such as demons and angels appeared during the first radiation. They were ancient mystics and the original and purest reflection of "Comoth".

The cognition created by human beings has a real carrier in radiation. After the star paths separated, it was passed down in the form of myths, and even retained part of the personality of the mystics at that time.

It is somewhat similar to the Nanzhou ancestral spirit.

However, Lucifer Rofkar is not a living creature, he only represents the rules for the use of "Comoth" energy.

"I hope to sign a contract with you so that I can immediately obtain the wealth I want, otherwise I will torture you with the powerful words of the grimoire." Lin An replied.

"I cannot grant your request unless you surrender yourself to me for twenty years and let me do with you body and soul as I will."

The devil took a step, causing the contract triangle to rotate wildly to protect Lin An as the summoner. The latter was immersed in the interest of facing the devil face to face, without any fear, observing Lucifer Roof from top to bottom. Carl.

It wasn't until the demon showed impatience that Lin An continued speaking according to the instructions in the "Grand Grimoire".

"I cannot agree to your request, but I promise the great Lucifer that if you lead me to the hidden treasure, I will give you a portion of every treasure I obtain."

"Well..." The devil thought for a moment and replied, "Deal. The additional condition is that you will always keep our secrets inviolable and be kind to the poor. If you can't do that, Luciferji can take away your soul."

After Lin An repeated this sentence, Luciferji's shadow trembled and said: "Then, the contract is reached - remember your promise! Now follow me to the location of the 'treasure'."

This entry can be regarded as an advanced version of [Gold Hunting Hen], which can find things that are more hidden and even not in the real world.

After that, He strode towards the Presidential Palace.

"Wait!" Lin An suddenly stopped him.

"What's wrong, Summoner?" The demon glanced sideways at him with eyes hidden in the darkness.

"If you take the trouble to lead the way, please point out the location of the treasure. We will meet up later."

Lin An held out the tablet with the map and raised it to the devil. The Prime Minister of Hell remained silent in response.

"This is touch screen. I have selected the brush tool and you can just click with your finger." (End of Chapter)
