Urban legend.
Urban legends are stories passed down orally from people in the streets. Usually urban legends are not completely fabricated or fictitious products. They may have prototypes of real events, but the tellers often process them in order to make the stories more interesting and attractive. , exaggeration, coupled with everyone's personal understanding, and sometimes forgetting some details to retell and spread it, gradually the story becomes completely different from the original real events.
This was Wu Ming's previous understanding of urban legends. Now that he has set foot in the extraordinary field and learned extraordinary knowledge, his understanding of urban legends has deepened: behind some urban legends, there may often be extraordinary creatures and extraordinary events quietly active. trace.
"What kind of urban legend? Bloody Mary? Four-corner room? Mirror Fairy, Disk Fairy and Pen Fairy?" Wu Ming danced his fingers and replied immediately.
Not all urban legends have traces of supernatural power behind them. Even if there are rituals that can summon extraordinary creatures in some urban legends, it is not easy for ordinary people to come into contact with the extraordinary. After all, according to the supernatural power According to the law of mutual attraction, low-level extraordinary events always preferentially move closer to nearby higher-level extraordinary powers. The level of ordinary people is too low to become the center of actively attracting extraordinary events.
The ones he mentioned are all relatively representative urban legends circulating among students - at least they were very representative urban legends during his student days. At the same time, there is also the possibility of being visited by other malicious extraordinary creatures. sexual.
The premise is that the ritual is correct, the spell is correct, and there happens to be a passing extraordinary creature that is not affected by higher-level extraordinary powers and hears your call.
Even if all conditions are met by accident, the probability of getting a response from the other party is very low.
After all, what do you think, if someone keeps making harassing calls to you all day long to ask you questions and sell fake medicines, will you respond to them? For extraordinary creatures, the nature of this summoning ritual is almost like a harassing phone call. Not only do the other party have many weird problems, but they also have to pay for the extraordinary power consumption (call charges) of the ritual, so generally no extraordinary creatures will respond to such calls. A thankless call.
However, once the ceremony is successful, the responder will definitely have an agenda and directly list the other party as a malicious target. It would be right to say goodbye and send him away three times.
Soon, Lin Jiaojiao replied with two more messages in seconds.
"A kind of... um, an urban legend related to mirrors, right? If a person looks in the mirror with a strong desire on a rainy day or foggy midnight, what appears in the mirror is not the mirror image, but his own heart. The thing you desire most, if you recite the mantra silently and pray to the mirror at this time, it will fulfill your wish and make your dream come true."
"Several of my classmates said they want to hold a courage test before the end of the summer vacation. Then everyone will try this urban legend together, so I wanted to ask you in advance, brother, if they will attract 'those' things if they do this? "
After Lin Jiaojiao experienced several extraordinary events that were not very friendly, she had become sufficiently vigilant about things in the extraordinary world.
It seems that the previous incidents left a strong PTSD in her heart. As soon as Lin Jiaojiao heard the news and knew that several classmates were planning to drag her to death to try the ritual, she immediately picked up her phone to find her. The only expert I knew came to ask for advice.
However, there is too little information about this urban legend at this stage. Lin Jiaojiao herself does not know the detailed steps of the ritual and what the spell is. Coupled with the uncertainty of the response of extraordinary creatures, Wu Ming does not dare to give it to her casually. The conclusion can only be answered with ambiguous statements.
"Whether things will attract the supernatural realm is often related to rituals, spells and the supernatural itself. Of course, if the secrets lurking in the shadows are interested in you, even if you chant "This body is made by the sword" When you cast a spell, and together with a few friends, you pinched the paper figurine and tore it into pieces, using this ritual that is completely impossible to have a summoning effect, you can still get a response from extraordinary creatures..."
After this message was sent, Wu Ming was still a little worried and added another sentence.
"But please note that the price of this ritual is paid by extraordinary creatures. If they respond positively to the call, it does not mean that they are favored or lucky. It only means that you are very unlucky and have been manipulated for other purposes. Extraordinary creatures are being targeted. Well, if you can't persuade them, just tell me in advance, and even if something unexpected happens, I can protect you in secret."
After sending this message, Wu Ming sighed and put down his phone. Under the confused gazes of Fei Ge and Zhao Sida, he muttered.
"When this incident is over, I will urge the office to stabilize this girl's life trajectory, and then delete all memories of the extraordinary realm in her mind..."
…………
Yandu, old city.
Lin Jiaojiao was lying on the bed in a pair of loose and breathable pajamas, scrolling through her cell phone. Her legs were crossed and dangling. Looking at Wu Ming's reply, she had a happy and reassuring smile on her face.
"Thank you bro! ヾ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ"
Then, Lin Jiaojiao switched the chat box to another discussion group.
In the discussion group, several of her classmates were discussing enthusiastically how to hold a thrilling and thrilling courage test at the end of the summer vacation. As a result, the topic became more and more distorted.
Among them are some mysterious rituals such as psychic rituals, horoscope divination, and tarot cards, which have now become like watching TV dramas and chasing stars.
Lin Jiaojiao looked through the chat history and found that the itinerary for the day of the Courage Trial Conference had been basically finalized. Not only would they light candles and tell ghost stories, but they would also perform the magic mirror ceremony at midnight. Now they were waiting for a day when it would rain or rise. In foggy weather conditions, they held a courage test.
They seemed to be looking forward to the courage test very much, but Lin Jiaojiao, who had truly experienced extraordinary experiences, felt that she had to stop them...
"Sisters, I think your thoughts are very dangerous. What if you really get into trouble with something unclean..."
…………
"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, please tell me, will she and I be together?"
"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, please help me realize my wish."
"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, I hope you can give me the strength to get out of this predicament..."
"Magic mirror, magic mirror..."
Endless prayers came from all directions. Among those ethereal voices were young men’s prayers, women’s voices, children’s prayers full of curiosity, and adults’ desperate attempts to seek medical treatment.
Each prayer formed a star point the size of a fingertip, illuminating the endless mirrored corridors that were layered like a maze. There was a humanoid shadow wandering blindly in the corridors. He (?) would occasionally reach out to click. The star points floating in the mirror pop the starlight like bubbles. Every time the starlight is pierced, there will be screams of excitement, surprise and a little fear of the unknown in the mirror corridor, and the body of the humanoid shadow will become more solid...
