Secrets: Priestess

Chapter 1 Reincarnation Ceremony
pain.

Headache and dizziness.

Jiang Zhe wanted to reach out and rub his temples, which were swollen so unbearably, but he realized that his hands and feet were restrained.

Jiang Zhe still wanted to move...but as he couldn't move, the pain became increasingly apparent.

The pain of being strangled came all over my body.

Jiang Zhe opened his eyes in confusion and bewilderment.

What caught my eye was a mirror with strange patterns on it.

In the mirror, there is a naked young man.

black hair.

Black eyes.

Tied with red ropes in a weird posture.

That bookish, young face was full of confusion.

Who is this?
As doubts arose, the face in the mirror gradually changed from strange to familiar.

Is this me? Ty Purcell?

Jiang Zhe frowned slightly in pain and shook his head, memories constantly emerging in his mind.

Sometimes he is a young man from a small town on Earth who passes the exam to become a librarian, arranging books on the bookshelf in an atmosphere of books.

Sometimes he was an intern student of archaeology at Tingen University in the Kingdom of Loen. While studying hard, he was also having a sweet and innocent love affair.

Long, long stretches of memories from two completely unrelated lives intertwine. Unlike watching a movie, each scene belongs to his life, each section is his experience.

He is Kang Chol, also Tai Poslan.

However, his fragmented memories and experiences made it difficult for him to be mentally unified for a while. The divided emotions filled his chest, making him feel uncomfortable and painful.

But he is Kang Chol, and also Tai Poslan.

After gradually adapting to this pain, it gradually weakened to a level that Jiang Zhe could tolerate, and his mind was even clear enough to barely think:

"Where am I?"

In Jiang Zhe's most recent memory, he was lying on his bed in the staff dormitory, scrolling through his phone and falling asleep.

In Tai Poslan's recent memory, he was trembling with excitement, joy, nervousness and other unspeakable emotions, while he stroked his girlfriend's light golden hair and bent down to kiss her beautiful red lips.

Her smile was sweet and innocent, with a damp, rainy air, warm and soft.

At that moment, he wanted to crush her in his arms and merge her into his body, and wanted to eat her.

she……

Jiang Wei's body suddenly twitched as he recalled this. Several fragments of the past flashed through his mind:

In the bathroom, a woman with a half-delicate face and a half-withered face spoke in a hoarse voice: "...The spirit body changes because of the body."

……

……

At the desk, slender hands unfolded a piece of yellowish-brown parchment inch by inch, revealing the words on it.

It is Hermetic:
"All the blood of the Black Abyss Demon Fish", "The Egg of the Agate Peacock".

"80 ml of pure water, 5 drops of golden mandala juice, three scales of shadow lizard, and 10 drops of daffodil juice."

Sequence 7: Witch

……

……

In the misty bathtub, her arms as thin as lotus roots were submerged in the water, her light golden hair draped over her eyes, and she murmured a name:
"Thai……"

"Tai~"

"Thai!"

……

……

The new fragments of memory, like the whispers of an evil demon, made Jiang Zhe's expression gradually confused and almost went crazy.

My vision is blurry and my memory is confused.

Just when Jiang Zhe was in so much pain that he could no longer control himself, a strange fragrance penetrated into his nostrils, soothing his spirit that was on the verge of collapse.

This strange fragrance made Jiang Zhe feel strange yet familiar.

It was so strange that he had never heard of it before, whether as Jiang Zhe or as Tai.

The familiarity was that when he smelled it, he could strangely think of the formula of the fragrance in his mind: "Dragon-patterned Tree", "Poplar Tree" and a few words that were obviously spells.

"Thai……"

The familiar voice was so gentle that it seemed to drown people.

Jiang Zhe felt a soft pillow beneath his head, and a hand pressed against his forehead, gently caressing it with a strange rhythm. The mental confusion and physical pain eased simultaneously, allowing Jiang Zhe to open his eyes clearly again.

In his field of vision, the light blonde woman was smiling down at him.

That was the girl that he, Tai Poslan, fell in love with deeply.

"Claire?"

The emotion of love mixed with rational speculation about something bad happening made Jiang Zhe stare blankly at the other person's dark red eyes for a while without saying anything more.

The blonde, red-eyed Claire didn't say much. She waved her hand to break the rope wrapped around Jiang Zhe and wrapped him in a white robe.

Her movements and demeanor were as gentle as ever.

But Jiang Zhe rationally guessed that his current situation, which was not so good, was probably because of his lover in front of him, Claire.

After doing this, Claire left silently again.

It's so empty that it seems like it has never been there.

Not even a trace of smell remained.

Jiang Zhe wanted to say something, but his throat was unable to make a sound.

After a while, Jiang Zhe struggled to get up wrapped in a simple white robe.

He is the only one left here.

Only at this moment did he realize that he was on an altar.

He is on the altar—

Although I have no experience of learning these extraordinary knowledge, relevant knowledge can emerge when I see these items.

Jiang Zhe's eyes swept across the altar below him, the silver mirror in front of him, and the scattered red ropes... then swept across the objects on the altar such as the traces of wax drips, crystal balls, cauldrons, etc.

A complete knowledge of ritual magic emerged in Jiang Zhe's mind.

【Reincarnation Ceremony】!
A ritual magic that can theoretically exchange the souls and bodies of both parties in the ritual.

Even based on the current traces, Jiang Zhe could confirm that the ritual magic was completed.

but--

Jiang Zhe checked himself up and down and confirmed that his body belonged to Tai Poslan.

Is it a failure?
All kinds of speculations emerged in Jiang Zhe's mind, but due to his lack of knowledge, there were too many things he could not confirm.

But I'm afraid my time travel is strongly related to this reincarnation ritual...

Jiang Zhe couldn't tell whether his current state was a fusion of two souls - even though everything he said and did was influenced by Tai Poslan's memories, his consciousness was more inclined towards the identity of Jiang Zhe in terms of self-identity.

"Thinking so much nonsense..."

Jiang Zhe tightened the loose belt of his white robe and pressed his forehead with a wry smile.

Instead of thinking about the identity of his soul, he was still in a state of imprisonment.

What we should think about more is the extremely realistic issue of survival!
In addition, the fragmented memories with a distinct sense of foreignness in his brain were obviously from his girlfriend Claire.

Just from those fragments, I can feel that——

His girlfriend might have...

A little crazy?

So how do I escape from the captivity of my crazy girlfriend?
This problem did not bother Jiang Zhe for too long.

The days that followed passed indefinitely. Jiang Zhe counted the time he had eaten twelve times, drank seventeen glasses of water, had sex twice, had eleven times, and slept six times...

When Jiang Zhe woke up again, he was shaken awake by someone.

"Meazza."

"Ms. Cléa Meazza."

Sensing the movement, Jiang Zhe opened his eyes and saw many more people in front of him, and he woke up instantly.

Black uniform with white checkered pattern, soft hat with badge.

This attire... these people are police officers.

The leader was a man in his thirties.

He has a straight nose and deep grey eyes.

Meeting Jiang Zhe's gaze, the man smiled gently: "Ms. Meazza, I'm so glad you're okay."

Miss Meazza?
Jiang Zhe's mind was in a mess at the moment.

There were many more memories of Miss Meazza in his mind.

So much so that it was as if he had lived twenty-two years as Cléa Meazza.

The gray-eyed officer continued, "You are safe now. The suspect who abducted you, Ty Poslan, and his accomplices have fled, but please be assured that the Tingen police will bring them to justice."
