The bishop is unfathomable.

11 Buck Street, Levi's current residence.

Having already bought all the necessary ritual materials outside and grabbed a quick meal at a street-side restaurant, Li Wei hurriedly returned home.

"A quiet enough area where the moonlight can be seen, and where there can be no other light source."

"I think it's best to put it in the study. There's enough space, and the sunlight from the window is just right."

"But the cat needs to be kept in a cage."

While taking out the necessary materials one by one and placing them on the desk, he picked up Xiao Hei, who was still crawling around on the study floor.

"Okay, although I know you're a good girl and shouldn't make a fuss."

"But this is my first time meditating, so just to be on the safe side, I have to keep the small animals away from me."

"I'll release you after this is over."

After saying that, Li Wei carried the cat downstairs and then locked the cat in an empty room.

Xiao Hei didn't resist at all until it was locked in the room, so Li Wei was completely relieved and turned to walk back to the study.

After hearing Li Wei's footsteps fade into the distance and hearing no further sound, Felicia sat on the ground and began to think seriously.

"Your first time meditating?"

"What does this person do for a living?"

"The bald guy we met this afternoon was indeed a Level 2 superhuman, not very strong, but if he's a ritual master, then he can definitely be treated as a Level 3 being."

"Besides, the act between the two of them was so fake that only the young female inspector couldn't tell the difference."

"But there is indeed a guy at the University of Michigan named Albert... I've met him a few times. Although he's an ordinary person, he's well-versed in and knowledgeable about a great deal of ritual knowledge and occult history."

"The question is... why does that ritual master call Li Wei 'Lord Li Wei' in private?"

"What are they investigating? Where are they from?"

Felicia's mind was filled with curiosity and doubt. After waiting for ten minutes, she turned and walked to the window of the room. She then used her paws to pry open the window lock with some difficulty, and then turned around and carefully closed the window.

She then surveyed the area and found the roadside tree she had used to jump into the house the day before.

"Hey."

With a big jump followed by crawling and a few more kicks, Felicia skillfully climbed up the roadside tree, then lay on the trunk and looked into the window.

Sure enough, through the moonlight, she saw the study door that Li Wei had locked.

That's why she didn't choose to go to the third floor to peep, but instead went up to the tree.

However, Li Wei's progress was much slower than Felicia had anticipated.

After all, her preparations before meditation were very simple: light some incense, close her eyes, and then concentrate her mind to perceive the call of the dream world.

But Li Wei...

Felicia was starting to believe that this guy was really meditating for the first time.

But if that's the case, could it be that he's actually an official? And perhaps a minor leader?

Otherwise, there's no reason why a real ritual master would call him "sir" and take his orders.

Could it be that the University of Michigan discovered some strange phenomena in Beldor and that's why they came to investigate?

It seems that the University of Michigan has indeed done quite a few things like this.

Moreover, because they often arrive uninvited and lack official guarantees and support, they frequently have to operate clandestinely and may even face hostility and threats from the local community.

If it really is someone from Michigan University, then it does fit the behavior pattern of Li Wei and that bald guy from this afternoon.

But there are some parts that don't quite make sense...

Oh well, the University of Michigan was originally run by the Keepers of Secrets, so maybe this is a special operation by the Keepers of Secrets.

Li Wei was merely a temporary commander and contact person who was pushed out to take the lead.

Thinking about it this way, it seems much more reasonable.

Just then, Felicia saw Levi drawing circles with a huge compass in his other hand, and holding an enormous ruler in his other hand.

"Are you planning to create a ritual array to assist in this?"

"Wow, she really is a newcomer..."

Watching Li Wei's clumsy drawing process in the study, Felicia couldn't help but raise a paw to cover her face.

can not watch anymore.

Fortunately, with the help of a compass, the simple meditation ritual array was completed.

A standard circle with a vertical line drawn in the middle.

Then Li Wei lit incense, and then moved the chair in front of the desk into the circle, placing it on the straight line.

Then, the straight line drawn with chalk seemed to come alive, shaking and flying up, splitting the chair vertically into two even parts.

However, under the influence of some force, the chair closed up again, leaving only a white line that cut the chair in two.

Upon seeing this, Felicia recalled the knowledge she had once learned.

"The circle represents the Lord of all paths, the God of Night, an image of the moon, and also refers to that sublime deity."

"The line that divides it in two is the image of the earth, referring to the crevices of the radiant mountain, the divider and healer of the earth, representing balance and time, the natural elements and the foundation of all rituals."

"So that's how it's portrayed..."

Felicia, who was exceptionally gifted from a young age, had never used this technique before, but she remembered the knowledge vividly.

She's really seen something new today.

And what about Li Wei...?

He naturally didn't understand so many things; basic ritual studies didn't teach this much, only how to draw and example diagrams.

However, this book contains this sentence.

"The so-called ritual studies is the study of doing things without understanding why, but requiring precise and careful execution of the steps, and always keeping one's purpose clear during the process."

"I don't understand it, but it sounds impressive."

Li Wei put down all his tools, then sat down seriously in the chair at the center of the ceremony, closed his eyes, and concentrated.

Soon, he entered an indescribable state.

Even though his eyes were closed, scattered points of light and spots flashing with strange and eerie light shone towards him.

Then came a gentle white light and a vast, bright green field.

In the next moment, an unknown energy began to cleanse his soul and spirit, making him feel invigorated and enlightened.

Psychic power.

Li Wei quickly found the answer in his mind and was delighted.

Although he hasn't reached the first energy level, he has already taken one step into the gate of the extraordinary world.

However, this meditation session quickly came to an end due to Li Wei's intense emotional fluctuations.

After a dizzying wave of light, the green field disappeared from his sight.

At that moment, the panel popped up automatically and began to display his status.

"!!!"

Li Wei suddenly stood up from his chair. He realized that although he had not yet advanced to the first energy level, he seemed to be able to use magic!
