After hearing this news, Bai Yi's mind went blank, and then unimaginable shock and ecstasy followed.
He immediately grabbed Ryan's shoulder and trembled, saying,
"Brother! Are you serious?! I... I really still have a chance..."
Ryan smiled and said, "Most likely."
In an instant.
Bai Yi was so excited that he almost jumped up.
His breathing was rapid, and he could hardly accept this sudden huge surprise for a while.
He kept pacing back and forth, trying hard to digest the ecstasy in his heart.
But then he was startled.
He saw Ryan's smiling expression in his sight.
He immediately thought of something and said in astonishment, "Then what about you, brother?
Can you go back with me?"
His breathing became rapid.
"Although we seem to be from two parallel Blue Stars, even if they are parallel Blue Stars, it must be better than this Dark World! Brother, we..."
Ryan stretched out his hand to stop him and shook his head, saying,
"I can't go."
Bai Yi was astonished.
Ryan explained with a smile, "Because you signed a summoning contract. You're a summoned object who was lured into this world by a certain existence. Although there might have been some accidents and you weren't pulled into the domain of that evil god, when the summoning time is up, you'll still be sent back."
"But I'm different. I still don't even know how I stepped into this world."
"I can't possibly go back with you."
Bai Yi opened his mouth, his mind blank.
In other words.
Was this a round-trip ticket that only allowed one person?
However, if he just went back by himself and left the big brother here, then... that would be...
Although they had only known each other for one night, and this big brother was also quite scary, but being able to meet a kind "fellow townsman" in this terrifying world was really more grateful than anything else.
Because without the big brother's help.
He would probably have died long ago.
He scratched his head, frowned, and paced back and forth. The joy just now was quickly washed away.
Summoning...
Summoning...
Was he summoned because of that contract...
Then...
In an instant, he suddenly had an epiphany.
He grabbed Ryan's shoulder excitedly and said, "Brother! I have an idea. You said that I was summoned by a certain existence in this world. Then is there a possibility..."
"I can also summon you to my world?!"
It had to be said that at this critical moment, Bai Yi showed an extremely active mind.
Ryan was also startled when he heard this, and then raised his eyebrows and said,
"I'm not sure about this. I'm encountering this kind of mysterious thing for the first time. However, many worlds do have some cults that like to hold rituals to summon monsters from other worlds..."
Bai Yi was extremely excited and said,
"Then that's it! Brother! Anyway, we can give it a try! If it fails, there's no loss. If it succeeds, then brother, you can also come to my world and reminisce about our hometown!"
Looking at Bai Yi's extremely excited look, Ryan's thoughts also became a bit more active.
Yeah.
If this method could really be realized.
Even if it wasn't his real hometown, he could still be summoned there and take a look at that similar world.
And if it was really a parallel world...
Then maybe, in Bai Yi's world, there was also another him, and his...
Parents.
Ryan raised his head and looked at Bai Yi seriously, saying,
"We can give it a try!"
...
A few minutes later, Ryan quickly took Bai Yi to his teacher's underground library. With a serious expression, he quickly started rummaging through it.
His teacher's knowledge was very extensive.
He was a true research scholar.
You could always find many strange books in his library.
And there must also be books about summoning rituals.
After Ryan's careful search, he soon found a thick, deeply hidden ancient book in a corner.
"Found it!"
Ryan narrowed his eyes.
He opened it and took a look.
"The Complete Explanation of Summoning Girls from Another World"
Smack—
He closed it with a dark face.
Ryan started searching again.
Finally, he took out another dusty book from the corner again.
"Contracts: The Ritual of the Descent of Evil Gods in the Dark World"
Ryan calmed down and quickly flipped through it and read it.
There were many methods and rituals for summoning some evil existences recorded on it, including flesh and blood sacrifices, soul offerings, evil spirit prayers, and so on.
And without exception, all of these were extremely taboo knowledge.
"Brother, did you find a way?"
Bai Yi asked hurriedly.
Ryan adjusted his monocle and calmly read through it, saying,
"Probably found some. However, to complete the summoning of a specific creature, a lot of materials and sacrifices are needed, as well as a special gloomy environment... The more powerful the target is, the more materials are needed..."
He quickly excerpted the method and the ritual array in Chinese characters.
Then he turned around and said seriously,
"I'll go ask my teacher for advice. He knows more than I do. With my teacher's help, it should probably succeed!"
Bai Yi immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and quickly followed.
But at this moment.
Buzz—
A sound like a broken string coming from his mind rang out.
He immediately felt an indescribable sense of detachment. He immediately looked at his hand in astonishment and said,
"Brother... I think... there might not be enough time..."
Ryan immediately turned his head.
Then he immediately saw that Bai Yi's body was gradually becoming illusory.
Could it be that the time limit of the contract summoning had arrived?!
Indeed!
He had been in this world for at least three days, which was not a short time for contract summoning!
Seeing that his body was becoming more and more illusory.
At this moment, Ryan couldn't care about so much anymore.
Rip—
He tore off the page on which he had just recorded the specific creature summoning ritual in Chinese characters in his notebook and put it in Bai Yi's pocket.
With a serious expression, he grabbed Bai Yi's shoulder and said,
"Remember! Go back and try it according to the method above! Remember my name! I'm Ryan! This is the Dark World!"
"Right!"
He suddenly thought of the instructions in that book.
Without hesitation, he immediately pulled out his Night Demon Knife and cut off his little finger with one stroke.
Blood splattered.
Bai Yi (ΩДΩ) said, "Brother! What are you doing?!"
Ryan seriously grabbed the little finger and stuffed it into his pocket, saying,
"This is my flesh and blood. If the summoning ritual can succeed, my flesh and blood will be the beacon. It can help you locate my position faster! Maybe it can increase the success rate of summoning me over!"
"Right!"
Ryan paced quickly, then immediately picked up the paper and pen on the table, wrote a letter in Chinese on the paper with a serious expression, quickly folded the letter, and seriously stuffed it into Bai Yi's hand, saying,
"I don't know if your world is really a parallel world, but if it is, remember the address on the letter and send this letter!"
"Do you remember?!"
Ryan gritted his teeth.
Bai Yi was full of astonishment, and his body was becoming more and more illusory.
Finally, he nodded vigorously with a serious expression.
Ryan finally let out a sigh of relief and shook his head, saying,
"Just remember it..."
His body slowly became nothingness, but at the very last moment before he disappeared, he suddenly remembered something and shouted in panic to Ryan,
"Brother! Right! You said you'd install a stainless steel... "
Buzz—
A mysterious vibration.
Bai Yi disappeared out of thin air on the spot. Obviously, he should have been sent back to his own world.
Ryan took a deep breath and sat on the chair a bit weakly. He controlled "Flesh Catastrophic" and slowly healed his little finger.
To say it was uncomfortable.
It was a bit.
Because he originally thought that in this other world, he finally had a fellow townsman.
But who would have thought that after knowing each other for less than a day, he was alone again.
He wasn't sure if Bai Yi could learn that summoning ritual.
Most likely not.
That's why he wrote that letter.
Ryan raised his head.
Because if it was really a parallel world, maybe that world also had his parents, another him, and their own family.
There was no other meaning. Just wanted to place his longing in his heart.
Even if it was regarded as crazy talk and thrown into the trash after being seen, it didn't matter.
Because...
Ryan stood up, smiled, flicked away a trace of moisture from the corner of his eye, shouldered his Night Demon Knife, and walked out in big strides.
It was at least a kind of sustenance.
...
