My esoteric uncle Jules

Chapter 91 I am the wave?

However, no matter how capable he is, Jules would not let Lolita take the risk and disrupt the ascension ceremony.

After settling Lolita down, he returned to his room.

What caught his attention was that Alan didn't seem to be here today.

According to Lolita, Alan hasn't been here since yesterday.

Yule felt that the other party was probably in great danger - this place was obviously becoming more and more weird. Even if he stayed here and had enough catches and didn't starve to death, he would be killed by the monster sooner or later.

Although everything was caused by the Red Cup, if there hadn't been the Great Irish Famine, perhaps this opportunity wouldn't have arisen...

After sighing on the bed, he rummaged around and found four candles.

There are three small candles, one large and three small, and each candle is engraved with complicated runes. Even an extraordinary person would feel dizzy just looking at them.

Under Yule's gaze, they emitted a light unique to "lamp", dispelling the darkness around them with the brilliance of reason.

"If there wasn't a telegraph office here, I wouldn't bother using this thing." He shook his head helplessly.

Centipede had said before that after learning about the "stomach", he should directly report the news back to the Defense and Suppression Bureau and not act rashly. He naturally agreed with that.

Are you kidding me? He's fighting an immortal in the process of forming? Seriously?

However, transmitting messages by physical means is still too slow. Telegraphs can be used in other places, but the infrastructure in Ireland is still too lacking.

So the method given by the centipede is to use rituals to convey messages.

The extraordinary people of the Code of the Light can sense the flow of knowledge, and the rituals of the Code of the Light can make knowledge flow in a true sense!

Of course, his evaluation of this is that it is not as convenient as the telephone, or even the telegraph.

Although the latter two seemed quite ordinary compared to the Ceremony of Lanterns, he now knew that any iteration and update of technology must have the tacit approval of the "Forge".

It might be said to be a mystical creation!

Jules shook his head, ending his useless thinking, and his eyes gradually became serious.

He is going to perform a ceremony.

Soon, he poured the lamp oil he had prepared in advance onto the ground, carving a pattern that looked like a pupil.

Then, he placed the large candle in the center, and arranged the other three candles at the edge of the formation in a protective posture.

This ceremony is to pray for power from the Night Watchman in order to pass on knowledge!
The Night Watchman is the god of the lights, the god who guides the way forward, the god who illuminates and drives away darkness, and the god without mercy.

He is always the first hour to which the disciples invoke Him, and He is glorious and resplendent.

A spark flew towards the lamp oil, and the entire pupil suddenly burned, but the light it emitted was not warm, but cold.

Four candle flames began to flicker.

The most peculiar thing was the large candle - unlike the other candles, it did not cast a shadow.

Looking at the big candle, Jules thought of a sentence that Sherlock Holmes once said to him:

“Mercy, only in the shadows.”

However, this "Night Watchman" of the Hours, the Ruler of Light, has no shadow.

……

The fire flickered and the light spread everywhere, but no shadows were visible.

This means that the ceremony has officially begun.

He had to deliver the message before the oil in his lamp ran out.

The index finger was cut and blood dripped into the "iris" position of the pupil array pattern.

The blood boiled into mist in the firelight, covering the parchment prepared in advance and began to twist into the words he wanted to convey.

The flame suddenly shot up two feet high, and the three small candles began to cast distorted shadows. Only the light area around the large candle in the center remained absolutely clean.

Jules pressed the parchment against the flame of the large candle in the center. The paper instantly turned into ashes, which gathered in the cyclone to form a pupil-shaped mark.

He bit his tongue, tears and blood seeping from the corners of his eyes, and growled:
"Let us call upon the Night Watchman, the god of illumination and darkness. May you light the way forward for those who wish and those who do not!"

The pupil pattern burned out at an astonishing speed, and the shadows of the three small candles pointed to one direction at the same time - that was London.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the three short candles quickly melted into wax.

Except for the candlelight swaying in the pupil, it still emits a cold and shadowless light.

……

After successfully delivering the message, Jules breathed a sigh of relief.

He had already prepared for the worst and thought about what to do if his information was intercepted by the ascension ceremony and could not be delivered.

However, it seems that it has not reached that point yet.

In this case, he must quickly get rid of this fragment of the Sixth History before the Anti-Suppression Bureau sends people.

He was not sure whether it would still be considered a "corresponding location in current history" after the anomaly here was resolved by the Suppression Bureau.

Maybe, but he didn't want to gamble.

With a thought, he retrieved the two pieces of information fragments that were currently accessible.

[Sixth History Fragment: The Shadow of Innsmouth]

Some say they are extinct like the dodo and the dragon, but scholars know that species that existed before humans never died out, but simply persisted within.

[Objective: Eliminate the source of the residents' mutations and transformation into "Deep Divers"]

【Reward: Rusty Scissors】

[Secret History Integration Degree: 0%]

[Hint: There are hidden elements in the fragments. When the secret history integration degree reaches 100%, it means the exploration is complete.]

[Every time history turns, the fragments will be lost further until they completely collapse]

[Current number of losses: 1/∞]

[Tip: This fragment is a special existence. Each time it is lost, it will only cause further erosion and mutation to the entrant, but will not cause the fragment to disintegrate. At the same time, to enter the fragment, you must be at the corresponding location in the current history, otherwise you will not be able to enter.]

And the fragments of "The Old Man and the Sea" captured not long ago.

[Sixth History Fragment: The Old Man and the Sea]

The flesh and blood that sharks gnaw away is my cowardice; the bones I catch are my courage.

[Goal: Get back what belongs to you from the shark's mouth]

[Reward: Remains]

[Secret History Integration: 100%] [Current Lost Count: 0/1]

[Hint: This fragment exists only in "The Shadow of Innsmouth" and has no secret history integration to explore.]

[Hint: The changes in this fragment will have an impact on "The Haze over Innsmouth."]

Are the two fragments of the Sixth History theoretically one and the same?
Seeing this situation, Jules was not even surprised.

He just narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the reward [remains].

【remains】

[Effect: You can use this as an anchor to call for the return of the "wave."]

【Introduction: The sea will remember everything.】

The one that was of poor quality last time was the cane infused with the power of Blade Sichen... Jules nodded thoughtfully.

If this is the case, then it seems that the remains are likely to be in a similar situation.

Its own power level is not high, but because it is connected with Si Chen's power, its status is terrifyingly high, making it difficult to distinguish its clear grade.

"It seems that as long as I complete this fragment, I will have a chance to completely heal my heart."

After learning the truth about Hei Hai, Yule no longer had any hope in praying for Hei Hai's power.

Under the interference of the petty-minded Chibei, if you dare to pray, you will die!

It would be more convenient to find a way to help the Wave win the resurrection match - even if it's just a small victory.

With a thought, he directly entered the fragments of "The Old Man and the Sea".

……

What meets the eye is the vast ocean.

The waves were surging and the golden sunlight was shining on the sea, making it sparkle.

[Current role: Wave]

Upon hearing this reminder, Jules was stunned.

"Roleplay what? Say it again?!"

For a moment, the shock even made him forget his current environment.

He originally thought he would play Santiago. After all, he would be "Jules", so how could it be the wave?

"It seems this place is even more complicated than I thought..."

Yule's eyes flickered as he realized something—

It is very likely that I am directly involved in the struggle between Si Chen!

Before, he had only helped Langchao by taking roundabout ways to save the country, or was driven by other Si Chen as a humanoid Gundam to fight against Chibei.

Never before has it directly and truly symbolized a Si Chen as it does now!
Even the banquet ceremony was just a ceremony of a higher status, far inferior to the present!
After astonishment, there is fear.

But soon, the panic turned into calmness.

"Since there's no indication that the power gap is too great, that means I can get involved."

Thinking of this, Yule's eyes lit up more than ever before, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"In other words, I can use my own strength to cause trouble for Chibei?"

In this situation, who else is worthy of the Wave's confrontation except Chibei?
If the fisherman symbolizes the waves, then the bloodthirsty shark must symbolize the red cup!

His smile was somewhat chilling:

"Wait, Chibei..."

……

The fishing boat is not big, it is a small fishing boat that can only accommodate one person.

However, it also has most of the facilities that a fishing boat should have, which is more than enough for Jules to do whatever he wants.

He leaned against the boat, his eyes calm, waiting for the arrival of his prey.

Since they were in the middle of the sea as soon as they entered, Jules had no idea of ​​the direction and no target, and there was no compass or anything like that on the ship.

Therefore, the most appropriate method is to go with the flow and wait quietly - he believes that in this case, waiting will definitely bear fruit.

Of course, it doesn't mean you can lie down completely.

With the help of the extra fishing knowledge in his mind, he skillfully arranged the fishing line like a veteran.

At this moment, he was holding the fishing line tightly in his hand, ready to pull it at any time.

Next, just wait for the prey to take the bait.

He sprinkled a handful of bait, with inexplicable emotions brewing in his eyes.

……

The golden light shining on his face brought a warmth that made Jules couldn't help but let out a comfortable moan.

During the time I stayed in Innsmouth, the sky seemed to be always covered with an lingering haze, and there was not even a trace of sunshine.

This vibrant golden light reminded him of a past that was even older than London.

This fragment is different from other fragments in one way——

He became completely mortal.

Even those cards were disabled and could not be summoned.

Now, all Jules can rely on is this decayed old man's body.

"At least my heart is fine..." He laughed at himself.

Suddenly, at this moment of relaxation, the fishing line slipped through his fingers like a steel wire!

The fishing line suddenly became heavy, so heavy that it was unbelievable - it was the weight of the big fish.

"coming."

Jules's eyes suddenly became sharp.

He leaned back slightly and let out the line in his hand to resist the pull of the big fish.

A figure underwater that was even larger than the small fishing boat began to appear and dragged the fishing boat towards the deep sea.

Seeing this, he subconsciously licked the sweat dripping to the corner of his mouth and laughed:
"Come, let's decide who's better, and whether to live or die!"
