Chapter 422: Prayer Ceremony

"Mortals only live a hundred years. Most people don't live to be a hundred. Those who live to be over a hundred are considered to have lived a long life."

"After the age of sixty or seventy, the body begins to age, functions begin to decline, and various diseases come one after another. Even if you live a healthy life, you are still old and decayed."

“This is what mortals are.”

Zhao Hun: "Haven't we become Contract Masters? To some extent, we've already transcended the realm of mortals and become transcendents, right?"

Yang Yu pursed his lips and frowned as if he was thinking about something.

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "That's right. After contracting the weirdness, you will indeed be reborn. Your body will be strengthened to a point beyond human limits."

"However, even if you possess an almost bizarrely strong physique and special abilities, you are still human at heart, and your lifespan has not increased."

"Besides, for a profession like a Contractor, saying that they can live a long life would probably make people laugh."

Newcomers like Yang Yu and Zhao Hun knew only too well what a dangerous profession being a spellcaster was.

If it weren't for the buggy time-rewinding device, it would allow the dead to travel back in time and be reborn within a certain range.

Countless newcomers died in those missions.

The strange existences are really special, they have no system.

Each strange appearance has different abilities.

Some look weak and weird, but their abilities are extremely powerful, while others are weird and have very low energy, but their abilities can easily kill a person.

If you don't understand this strange ability, you will be killed on first sight.

This was despite having made all the necessary preparations and having a more powerful Pact Master on hand to control the situation.

What if the magician accidentally encounters a strange thing that has not been discovered?

What if he doesn't have a time-travel device?

Then, if he was killed, he was really dead.

Although this situation has not occurred so far, it is because newcomers who have just joined the Society of the Unorthodox will be assigned to the team of a powerful Contractor.

There are powerful tricksters who take you on missions.

Even if you accidentally encounter a powerful monster, there are powerful monster masters to rescue you.

Normally, these new recruits would stay at the headquarters for training and would not go out.

So far, no newcomers have died.

But Yang Yu and Zhao Hun both knew that this was only temporary. The newcomers would always grow up and would always face dangerous situations alone.

Death is inevitable.

Zhao Hun didn't have as many thoughts as Yang Yu. He said casually, "The Taoist priest seems to be a very open-minded person. I didn't expect that he would think about these things. For me, living happily every day is enough."

"Compared to my previous difficult life where I couldn't even find a job, at least the benefits of being a Contractor are really good. The monthly salary is enough for me to spend."

He used to be addicted to games.

But after becoming a Contract Master, he only played during his free time. After all, his daily life was exciting enough.

Face the weirdness, complete tasks, conquer dungeons, and experience all kinds of life.

This kind of life is more exciting than games.

After each training session, the increased strength also brings a sense of satisfaction that is even greater than winning a game.

Most newcomers have changed a lot after signing the contract with Weird. The most obvious change is the reduction in the time they spend online.

Yang Yu: "It's not good to live too long. Wouldn't that be boring?"

Zhao Hun: "I think no matter how long you live, the present is what's important. Besides, the technology of the Orbital Society is so advanced. I think the researchers in the research department are simply geniuses. They can even invent something as incredible as a time-travel device. A mere lifespan shouldn't be a problem for them, right?"

"Perhaps they can develop a genetic drug that can add two hundred years to your lifespan?"

The Taoist priest said, "Gene medicine? Forget it. They can indeed develop a medicine that can change human genes and thus indirectly increase human lifespan."

"But it can't work on a Contractor. From the moment a Contractor forms a phantom, they're affected by the phantom's energy. The longer the phantom, the higher the phantom's level. Most potions, toxins, and even external attacks will be ineffective against the Contractor."

"Is there still such a thing?"

"That's not right. Don't we end up in the medical bay every time we get injured? If the potion has no effect on us, how can the medical bay treat our wounds?"

Taoist Priest: "That's because you are affected by strange energy, not to the extent that you are immune to the potion."

"The higher the level of the Contractor, the fewer treatment options they have when injured. They rely more on replenishing strange energy, which they can use to recover."

Yang Yu: "So, a high-level ghost master is very similar to a ghost."

Why are the weirdos so difficult to deal with? It's because after being injured, they can use their weird energy to repair themselves, and their recovery speed is extremely fast. Even if their limbs and heads are cut off or their bodies are torn apart, they can still recover as before.

If you want to severely damage them, you have to completely exhaust their strange energy, which will cause them to fall into an irrecoverable state of lethargy.

"Hmm... We seem to have strayed from the topic." Zhao Hun rubbed his head. Hadn't we been discussing this prayer ceremony at the beginning? How did the conversation end here?

"Oh, let's get back to this prayer ceremony."

The Taoist priest looked at the time and it was already 7:40.

It was very close to the time he calculated.

So he stepped forward and used a bowl of red paint made from a mixture of chicken blood and cinnabar to draw a huge magic circle composed of runes on the ground.

When the ends are connected, they form a circle.

The Taoist priest drew very quickly and finished the magic circle in just a few minutes.

Under the moonlight, the magic circle reflected a strange red light.

After Yang Yu and Zhao Hun took a closer look, they found that it was just their psychological effect, and the magic circle on the ground did not glow.

The logistics staff drove over and transported a lot of livestock in boxes.

These are things urgently sent from another world.

Most of them are chickens, ducks and geese, and some are cattle, sheep, pigs, horses and rabbits.

They are all raised livestock.

The prayer ceremony requires a large amount of strange energy. If it is not available, then a large number of living sacrifices must be used instead.

If it were those evil sects, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony, they would definitely not choose livestock as the object of the living sacrifice.

Compared to these domesticated animals, humans are of course more spiritual.

Of course, the Outlaws would not do such a thing, so they prepared livestock.

Dozens of trucks brought the livestock and placed them around the altar.

The Taoist priest looked at the moonlight and it was already eight o'clock.

A slim figure appeared behind him.
