Chapter 207 Shadow Secret
Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
For more than a month, Jilan lived in seclusion. Apart from daily practice, I only go out occasionally.
He will take the time to go to South Muse, waiting for an opportunity to arrest the bootleggers, and then use the details of the whole process as first-hand information to inform the female reporter Lebby and ask her to write a column report.
By the way, we will also go to the Notre Dame Convent on St. Maud Street to see Miss Sparrow. She seemed to be increasingly adapting to the monastery life, and informed Gillan about her conversion and joining the "Order of Holy Sisters".
Currently, she is studying occult knowledge with Dean Padmel, as well as some rituals and spells that need to be kept secret.
Jilan is really happy for her when he sees that her gnosis has grown steadily and her personality has gradually returned to the lively and cheerful character she had in Brak City.
In addition, he will also make an appointment with Miss Didier to help her friends "exorcise demons" and eliminate the mysterious influence, and receive a certain amount of commission remuneration.
Gillen spent most of the money he earned on purchasing mysterious materials, which were then refined into alchemical potions in a rental apartment.
I didn't make much money. Excluding the losses caused by the failed refining, I could only make back the eight or nine "wick potions" I had consumed during this period.
The biggest gain is the proficiency in refining "green gunpowder" and "wick potion".
Of course, in order to pursue higher refining efficiency, Gillan also tried to use mysterious points to add points to "alchemy". However, the remaining 10 points of energy were all used up, and only a small amount of proficiency was improved.
It can be seen that "alchemy" is too profound. If you want to master it, the number of mysterious points required will be quite large.
As for Jilan’s own cultivation progress, it can be said to be a rapid progress.
His current gnosis has already exceeded the average level of a second-level mystic. The spiritual color is close to deep red, with a rich scarlet light inside. It will probably only take a few days to completely complete the secondary dyeing.
And he deeply played the role of an agent and practiced the process of "actor" and "secret biography", which was also very effective.
In addition to Nan Muse being frightened by his name, reports from gold medal reporter Rebbie Lund would appear in newspapers every once in a while. Even if the "guiding power" of feedback has been slightly reduced, it remains steady.
Jilan could already "see" a large expanse of white light deep in her soul. The second-level "actor" essence seems to be within reach.
But there was only one thing that puzzled him.
The expected revenge did not come.
Whether it is the "Heavenly Evil Order" represented by Earl Farhan's family or the July Baptist Church infiltrated by the "Golden Bough of Dawn", there is no movement at all.
Even "Miss Rabbit" Jenna Claire seemed to have disappeared from the world, and there was no trace of her.
Everything is like the calm before the storm.
Jilan buried this doubt in her heart and focused on herself. Keep working hard to practice, improve your strength, and strive to climb to level 2 as soon as possible.
Because he knows clearly that only if he is strong enough can he ignore all threats and troubles from the outside.
Early in the morning on September 19th.
Jilan practiced cross-legged in the master bedroom as usual.
Before that, he also took stock of his potions and financial situation.
3.5 bottles of green gunpowder.
26 wick potions.
Funds 2245 Caesar.
This is what he has achieved in more than a month. Although the "family wealth" is not huge, it is enough to support him for a long time.
Two hours passed unknowingly. After finishing today's practice, Jilan went to the bathroom to wash up and have breakfast as usual.
When I returned to the master bedroom again, it was already early nine o'clock.
Buzzing.
Buzz.
At this moment, the "Alchemy Hotline" placed on the bedside table suddenly vibrated, and rounds of golden alchemy array patterns emitted from the inside.
Jilan walked over quickly, picked up the "hot line" and put it to his ear.
"Hello."
"Hello, Blood Owl." White Sage's magnetic voice came through the microphone, and his tone was smiling. "We have some clues about the real film." "The official member who intends to sell the film said that it can be cheaper, but she needs you to do her a small favor."
“What are you busy with?” Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.
"She needs you to watch the movie on the last day of this month."
The White Sage relayed.
“Why is this?” Jilan was a little confused.
"How can you study the 'Secret History' if you don't even know this?"
The White Sage sighed.
But he was silent for a few seconds before explaining:
"The first day of every month is 'Montage Day'. When watching movies on this day, no matter what real film is played, the The content will be messed up, and there will be a certain probability of Easter eggs or deliberately hidden clips. "The last day is the day of long shots, where you can integrate the series of movies." Plays out its entire plot...while inheriting all the impact the viewer has had from the first act in order to facilitate the final outcome."
'Montage, long shot...'
Gilan looked surprised.
He had no idea that the real film had special playback effects during these two days.
“So these two days are ‘movie viewing days’ that all those who study the ‘secret history’ of film will not miss.”
The White Sage continued.
"But this involves a problem, and that is the 'public release effect'. Watching movies in sub-bands at similar time periods will cause moviegoers from different regions to watch the same movie, which is very likely to cause conflicts."
“Therefore, some mysterious forces use these two days to hunt down moviegoers, cover up the truth of the secret history, or simply kill people to seize treasures... The Imperial Purification Department often does this kind of thing.”
"So, the official member asked me to watch "Old Peel #2" on the 'Long Lens Day' in order to help her kill people by taking advantage of the 'release effect'?"
Gilan said something. Thinking, he spoke.
“……”
The White Sage seemed to be unable to understand his brain circuit, and fell into a brief silence again.
“That’s not the case.” He coughed. "Your murderous intention is too much, Blood Owl."
"The official member's name is 'Crow', you can call her Ms. Crow. She wants to ask for your help. After entering the film, she meets a man named Gather the team for the 'recording meeting', and then take care of the team to the best of your ability during the movie viewing process to prevent them from being hunted by other forces."
'Recording meeting, Ms. Crow...'
Jilan raised his eyebrows.
He was quite touched when he heard about this familiar secret society.
Through the code name "Crow" and the fact that the other party wanted him to help the "recording meeting" viewing team in the film, Gillan easily determined the identity of this woman.
In addition to being a formal member of "Midnight Rose", she is probably also a member of the "Recording Committee", and is very likely to be a high-level person.
"I have a question." Gillan said to the phone. "Why doesn't Ms. Crow watch the movie by herself and do this?"
"She has something to do and can't get away."
White Sage explained patiently.
“Furthermore, real film has a strong repulsiveness to mysterious people above Kuze. The higher the original level, the stronger the repulsion... Even if she watches the movie in person, she will be forced to leave soon, which makes no sense. .”
“That’s it, I understand.”
Jilan’s eyes were full of thought.
"I suggest you do her this favor, Blood Owl."
Saying that, the White Sage added:
"If you take the path of February's director in the future, it is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with her... because Ms. Crow happens to be a melting pot A long-time master of the Sword Path, a level 4 ‘make-up artist’, if you have any doubts about finding the way, you can still ask for advice.”
