Vol 2 Chapter 14: Mirror ceremony

What is the reason? Ace was lost in thought.
　　 He activated the magic circle several times, until the blood crow was completely unconscious, then stopped.
　　 The influence of the abyss's breath can already be eliminated. After several experiments, no chaos or evil atmosphere of the abyss was found. Then the problem should lie in the ritual structure, maybe there is something missing in this projection ceremony.
　　 While thinking, Ace took the mechanical magic ladder back to his residence. The experiment was in trouble, he decided to go to the hospital for a few operations, relaxed, and changed his mind by the way.
　　 For Ace, surgery is easier than dispensing medicine, so there is no difficulty.
　　 If a doctor brings a high-power ultra-clear B-ultrasound, he can perform various error-free operations with strong mental and physical power, and it is estimated that it will be better than Ace's performance.
　　Of course, in the hospital, Dr. Ace's operation represented absolute success. The two general hospital doctors watched Ace successfully sutured the finger tendons of more than a dozen patients and completed several difficult valve replacement operations, and they admired them with great admiration.
　　 "Dean Ace, your medical skills are unparalleled, and the clay pots of gratitude given to you by patients are full of the showroom."
　　 Pu Chou said one of them.
"The dean’s medical skills are incomparable to describe. He is simply the darling of the goddess of life. According to legend, the descendants of the goddess of life require a large amount of sacrifices to save lives in order to save lives. Our dean does not have any sacrifices. With amazing technology, the patient was saved. It's really..."
　　 "You, stop first!"
　　 Before the ugly flattery was taken, Ace stopped.
　　 This Pu Chou looked terrified, did he brag so much that he slapped his horse's legs by flattering? How can this be good.
　　 The other Pu Chou is full of joy, making you bragging so much, now you hit a hard board, forgetting that I just hated the flattery not being superb.
　　 "Repeat your last words." Ace said thoughtfully.
　　 "Saved the patient..." Pu Ugly replied nervously.
　　 "No, the last sentence." Ace said seriously.
　　 "Amazing technology..." Pu Chou was even more afraid, whispering.
　　 "That's not right, just one more sentence."
　　 Pu Chou listened to Ace's voice becoming more and more severe, and his spirit felt tremendous pressure, like falling into an ice cave.
　　 He tremblingly asked, "There is no sacrifice?"
　　 "That's it, there is no sacrifice, no sacrifice! You are fine, this is my note, take it to the Accounting Section to receive a bonus of 1 Kintal."
　　 Ace tore a piece of parchment, wrote a few letters, threw it to Pu Chou, and turned away.
　　 Two common faces looked at each other, one regret and one surprise.
　　 Ace returned to the residence and activated the interference magic circle, which would make those who walked here want to leave inexplicably.
　　He took this mechanical magic ladder to the third floor of the underground laboratory, the projection ceremony room.
　　 "Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice!"
　　 "The whole weird ceremony itself is a grand sacrifice, so that I directly ignored the sacrifice itself. Maybe it is the lack of necessary sacrifices, let me redesign the ceremony."
　　 Ace murmured while clearing the entire ritual magic circle, modifying the ritual magic circle and rituals.
　　 The so-called ritual ritual must contain several elements, sacred things, a sense of sacredness, a whole set of believable rituals and magic circle.
　　 In the projection ceremony, Ace arranged a total of three magic circles. They are the body magic circle, the projection magic circle and the sacrifice magic circle.
　　 Sacrifice provides flesh and soul for the composition of the projection. Ace replaced the evil and chaotic sacrificial runes of the abyss with equivalent exchange runes.
　　 The whole process is a projection manufacturing of equivalent exchange, which has nothing to do with mysterious existence.
　　 After several adjustments, the blood crow in the main magic circle successfully projected the blood crow projection.
　　 After the Ace test, the projection showed similar characteristics to the little devil projection, and it had the memory, emotion and way of thinking of the body, but the overall power was attenuated.
　　 The blood crow is an ordinary low-level monster, and its projection has lost the ability to manipulate blood, similar to an ordinary strong crow.
　　 Ace tried to split the blood crow's soul again and made a projection, but the projection failed, and the blood crow body was also very sluggish. It seemed that the soul had been hit hard.
　　 Experiment with the mutant blood crow, the same result.
　　 "It seems that at least before reaching the hero level, there can be at most one projection."
　　 At this moment, Ace discovered that the projection of the blood crow seemed to be hostile to the body. After repeated experiments, the projection would betray at certain critical moments!
　　 At this point, the projection ceremony has been resolved, and the key is how to resolve the betrayal.
　　 He carefully looked through the weird taboo knowledge and found that the ceremony contained a large number of contracts of unknown meaning, some of which were like contracts between projection and ontology.
　　 Ace has a wealth of experience in contract magic. Using the ability to understand the unknown and deduction, he gradually understood most of the contract runes in taboo knowledge about projection, and combined his own understanding to redesign.
　　 The entire projection ceremony finally consists of four magic circles, the main magic circle, the projection magic circle, the sacrifice magic circle and the contract magic circle. Coupled with specific rituals, words and witnesses, they form a projection ceremony.
　　 After many experiments and successfully created a projection that completely obeys the will of the blood crow, Ace started his own experiment.
　　 He stood in the main magic circle, right in front of him was the flesh and blood of the prepared monster and the soul that had not yet dissipated.
　　 He made a mysterious magical movement, followed the movement, his lips quivered slightly, accompanied by a strange tone, aria-like voices came from all directions.
　　 represents the magic circle of the contract. A huge balance is raised. One end points to Ace, one section points to the vacant projection magic circle, and the front faces the sacrifice magic circle.
　　"The fair balance guards the eternal contract.
　　 Here, I will take an oath.
　　 Please turn the balance into a sharp knife to divide part of my soul.
　　 I will split the soul, create mirror images, and share memories, emotions, thoughts and abilities with them.
　　 The divided soul, the mirror image formed, will always be loyal to and obey the body.
　　 When the mirror image dissipates, it will return to its original body with memory, emotion, thinking and ability.
　　 We are originally one, divided, in order to discover more truth and become stronger when we return.
　　 When the ceremony is established ~EbookFREE.me~ The creature named Ace will gain a higher life experience and become a plural individual, no longer a single, but multiple life.
　　 has multiple memories, emotions, thoughts and abilities, from one to many, from a single life to a collective life, at some point in the future, many will come into one again, truly smarter and stronger. "
　　The light of the balance was so bright that it rose up and turned into a sickle.
　　 Ace's soul emerged from his body and flew to the sky.
　　 The sickle swept across with a regular force, and a wound appeared in Ace's spirit belly, and blood-like substance flowed out.
　　 This substance floated above the sickle, and Ace's spirit body fell back to his body, opened his eyes, covered his belly with weakness and fatigue, and tears of blood flowed from the wound.
　　 Ace opened his pale lips, and said in a dry and tired voice: "The blood is floating, and the wound is healed!"
　　 The blood flowing from the tears floated under the sickle, and the wound on Ace's stomach healed, but his face was still pale and scary.
　　 He forcibly endured the discomfort of the isolation of the soul, following the rhythm of the magic, dancing his hands.
　　 The sickle changed back to the balance, and it was shiny. The blood of the soul and the body merged, and gradually formed a villain, with the same eyebrows as Ace, a reduced version of him.
　　 The villain fell onto the projection magic circle, and the sacrifice magic circle flashed. The flesh and blood of the sacrificed monster and the fresh soul disappeared without a trace. The mist rose up beside the villain, he took a sharp breath, and then became fat into a big ball.
　　 The big ball absorbed the mist, and then after several changes, the puff broke open and drenched all over the place, and the red fruit man who was exactly like Ace came out.
　　 The balance turned into a chain and thrust into the foreheads of both sides, Ace felt his soul shook suddenly, and the world changed.
