After dinner and a chat, Klein sat on the single sofa in the living room, picked up the recently delivered " Awwa Evening News," and leisurely began to read.
Benson sat opposite his sister with a long face. In front of him was a table that Bella had wiped very clean, with grammar books, classical literature, accounting textbooks, pens, and paper. Similarly, Melissa also had textbooks and stationery in front of her, including but not limited to pens, paper, rulers, compasses, etc.
"This reminds me of more than a decade ago, when I was a student at the church's Sunday school," Benson complained, but still lowered his head and studied diligently.
"That's right, this kind of scene gives me a great sense of accomplishment as a parent..." Klein chuckled.
Knowledge changes Fate, hard work creates brilliance.
"I just made up the second half of the sentence; I don't know if Roselle actually said it..." he thought to himself.
The room quickly fell silent, with only the sounds of pens scratching paper and books turning. Bella had already washed the dishes, tidied the kitchen, and returned to her bedroom on the first floor, which was originally the small guest room.
Klein read the newspaper, occasionally sipped his Xibe black tea, and chatted with his brother and sister, enjoying himself immensely.
Suddenly, the gas lights in the living room and dining room dimmed simultaneously, as if they had run out of fuel.
Benson and Melissa looked up at the light fixture one after the other, trying to find the reason.
Klein also turned his gaze in that direction.
Just then, he felt something lightly touch his arm.
Something touched his arm in the living room, where there was no one else around except him!
Klein's hair stood on end. He pulled his arm back, turned his head, and saw five thin, pale fingers growing from the tip of a red tongue, below which were irregular, sharp teeth!
Klein first reached into his pocket, where he found the "Sleep" and "Soul Soothing" charms, and then saw five baby-like fingers clutching a neatly folded piece of paper.
letter...
messenger!
Klein breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, the five pale fingers holding the paper gently touched his arm again.
Klein glanced at Melissa, who was about to stand up to check the gaslight, then deftly grabbed the letter with his left hand and quickly withdrew it, hiding under the newspaper.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the pale fingers, red tongue, and irregular fangs instantly dim and disappear.
With a sudden thought, Klein tapped his left teeth and quietly activated his Spirit Vision.
He saw again the five abnormally thin fingers, the long red tongue studded with white fangs, and their retraction into the transparent, eyeless, noseless face on the ground.
A second later, the face disappeared into the ground, and the gaslights in the living room and dining room returned to normal.
"Strange..." Melissa muttered, carefully examining the area for a long time but finding no problem.
Why is it that in our family, girls are in charge of this kind of thing, while the men just stand by and watch...? Klein shook his head and chuckled, then deactivated his Spirit Vision.
When spiritual beings are willing to be seen and have the corresponding abilities, ordinary people can also discover them; the previous example is an example of this.
After exchanging a few words about the gaslight, the Moretti house fell silent again, and Benson and Melissa once more immersed themselves in the world of knowledge.
Klein, using the newspaper as cover, unfolded the letter with one hand, tucked it inside, and began to read the reply from " Spirit Guide " Daly:
"... I must emphasize again, I prefer the title ' Spirit Medium '."
"I can confirm your question: yes, ' Spirit Channeling communication' can be used on living beings, and remember, not just living humans..."
"However, this will be quite troublesome and dangerous. The remaining spirit of the deceased is pure, without much impurity or chaotic thoughts, and can communicate without hindrance, ask questions, and receive answers. Of course, you can also add the technique of ' Dream Divination ' at this step to directly see the corresponding images."
"But living humans cannot; their own will still exists, resisting communication between unprotected spirits."
Upon seeing this, Klein's lips twitched slightly, confirming that the reply was indeed from Daly herself.
Unprotected communication... that's really her style of speaking...
Klein glanced up at his sister and brother, then continued reading:
"Faced with this situation, we only have two options. One is to rely on our own powerful Spirituality and profound Spirit Channeling skills to overcome the other party's will and communicate forcefully. The other is to use some medications to help the other party relax. My most frequently used ones are ' Amanda ' hydrosol and ' Eye of Spirit ' potion. Hehe, I'm sure you remember them."
"Once you enter the formal Spirit Channeling phase, you must be aware that, unlike communicating with the lingering spirit of the deceased, you yourself are also in a spiritual state at this time. Simply put, your Spirituality enters the other person's Spirituality world."
"Note that professional ' Spirit Medium ' don't lack self-defense techniques in this state, but you don't. Even if I told you the techniques I possessed, you wouldn't be able to learn them, or rather, use them effectively."
"Therefore, you must remain sufficiently clear-headed and rational. Only in this way can you withstand the Storm of chaotic thoughts swirling around you, reach his spirit, and communicate with him. Yes, at this point, it is communication at the level of the ' Mental Body '."
"In this stage, you also have two choices. One is to use techniques to forcibly read the other person's memories, but you must be very careful because you cannot know whether what you read is what you want to know. If you receive a person's vast memories without discernment, it is very likely to overwhelm your spirit. Moreover, this will seriously damage or even destroy the target's soul. I do not recommend this method for non-professional ' Spirit Medium '."
"The second option is to gently communicate with the other person's ' Mental Body.' Whether you use harsh methods or drugs, the target will inevitably be in a confused state at this time, making it almost impossible for them to lie. No, you can't recall what happened to you! Although I know you definitely won't remember!"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Daly, I was perfectly lucid at the time..." Klein chuckled inwardly, his gaze shifting to the latter part of the letter:
"Such communication can give you the truth, but not necessarily all the truth. You should understand what I mean. Anyone who has studied journalism has heard of Emperor Roselle's famous quote. I don't remember the exact words, but the gist is to tell the truth, only the truth, and all the truth. In short, spirits don't necessarily remember everything because many memories are in their subconscious, or even the collective unconscious. Oh, I shouldn't have mentioned that. Dunn called it the evil theory of the Psychology Alchemists."
"Therefore, you must know how to guide and be good at designing questions, do you understand? Specific techniques include..."
"The above are all normal situations. What should we pay attention to when Spirit Channeling with a Beyonder has gone mad?"
"Still need to be sufficiently clear-headed and rational, without the slightest lapse in concentration, because the Beyonder's Spirituality is very strong, and the Lunatic's spirit is also filled with chaotic thoughts. To give an example, a normal person's consciousness is an island, the subconscious is the part of the island hidden beneath the sea, the collective unconscious is the surrounding sea, and the sky belongs to the Spirit World. On the Beyonder's 'island' there is a controllable active volcano, while on the Lunatic's 'island' the volcano is erupting, shaking the 'bottom' and polluting the 'sea'."
"When you come into unprotected contact with the spirit of Lunatic, his chaos is very likely to infect you, just as polluted seawater can spread to the vicinity with ocean currents."
"Yes, in this kind of Spirit Channeling, it's roughly equivalent to connecting your own 'sea area' with the other party's, so the issue of infection must be taken very seriously."
"Several examples are that some ' Spirit Medium ' were careless and took no precautions when doing similar things, and later developed the same mental illnesses as their targets."
"Normally, mental illness is not contagious, but in the realm of occultism, in the world of Spirit Channeling, it can indeed be contagious."
"Maintaining your own clarity and rationality, and not being influenced by the other party's confused thoughts, is crucial. After that, it's about guiding questions to obtain answers; even Lunatic can communicate effectively."
"If you wish to try it, I suggest you take a ' Tranquility Potion ' beforehand. The recipe is available behind Chanis Gate in Tingen City, and the finished product is also available. This will effectively help you stay clear-headed and rational during Spirit Channeling."
"Of course, you can also have Dunn apply for assistance from the Backlund Parish. I'd love to meet a Sequence 7 ' Psychiatrist ' in his Spirituality state after going insane."
Clarity and rationality... these are my strengths. Even when I'm being Spirit Channeling, I can remain clear-headed and rational... Of course, I'm not arrogant. I'll still apply for the " Tranquility Potion," the " Amanda " hydrosol, and the " Eye of Spirit " potion! Klein breathed a sigh of relief, somewhat eager to try.
He put down the newspaper, stood up, went into the first-floor washroom, lit the paper with his Spirituality, sprinkled the ashes into the toilet, and flushed it away.
That night, Klein once again attempted the ritual of "summoning" himself, bringing the " Solar Flare Charm " back to the material world and into his bedroom.
Meanwhile, he did not receive the reply from Mr. Azik that he expected would arrive soon.
Perhaps he needs some time to recall the knowledge... Perhaps he doesn't have time to reply right now... Or perhaps he's afraid of disturbing my sleep... Klein dispelled the Wall of Spirituality, guessed a few reasons, and lay down on the bed.
The next day, Tuesday morning.
Klein entered Blackthorn Security Company and knocked on the captain's office door with practiced ease.
