Chapter 333: Chapter 73 Arthur: No one can sacrifice me, except myself (asking for monthly tickets)"Strange, why does this incantation sound somewhat similar to the one Deep Sea Octopus Brother used with the Paper Mache Buddha to summon Tailed Ksitigarbha?"
"It seems not exactly the same, but this coincidence..."
"This is the closest Iâve come to reality in my legends."
"This... this canât be mere coincidence, can it?"
Xu Shu muttered to himself.
The incantation of the cultists before him and that which he had encountered not long before on the wasteland, involving the Tailed Ksitigarbha, seemed somewhat similar.
The former is: "The supreme entity wielding the power of space, the great Infinite Serpent of Tailed Ksitigarbha, the Bodhisattva with two inherent faces";
This one is: "The ruler of the Abyssal Sea Floor, the inherent dual-faced Master of Space, the eternal being who governs spirits and reincarnation!"
For the last two characters after Ksitigarbha, Xu Shu thought it should be "Bodhisattva" but wasnât one hundred percent sure, as he hadnât heard it clearly.
Although, these two phrases seem not the same.
But if one looks carefully, one can find that there are several places where synonyms are completely replaced.
For example, both contain phrases like "governing space" and "inherent two-faced".
And further thinking about it, the phrase Tailed Ksitigarbha said when he sneakily killed me the second time, "Hell is not empty; thus I cannot become a Buddha," clearly also relates to âsoulsâ.
"My created legendary world invades reality, like after the first Legendary Ancient Martial Dynasty, new ruins appeared in reality."
"And now, the Tailed Ksitigarbha I encountered in reality seemed also to have manifested in this legend."
"So to speak, this legendary world has extracted some information from reality and merged it in?"
"Heh, itâs getting interesting... if thatâs the case, then these cultists and those I know differ somewhat."
"There are only two explanations, either they are wrong, or I am wrong."
"Compared to these human cultists, that alien beast Octopus Brother I encountered in reality clearly had more access to the true information of Tailed Ksitigarbha!"
"Although later when I tried praying, the Paper Mache Buddha had no response, it might also be because I didnât prepare the appropriate offerings, which canât prove the incantations wrong."
"Moreover, Octopus Brother could even recite poems, being so cultured, obviously seems a bit more powerful than these half-baked cultists in the current legend."
"Since I seem to have no way to escape, why not... try to test the truth?"
"After all, trying it costs nothing, and I seem really to be in a fix without any better way to escape!"
Xu Shu watched the fervent believers performing the sacrificial dance on the screen, his mind racing through various strategies.
As âArthurâ, he had walked on thin ice all his life, arriving only to face death everywhere, encountering countless cultist sacrificial scenes. Although he had yet no power, his courage was extensively honed.
However, looking over his brief nineteen-year life span, the sacrificial event he encountered now could also be counted as one of the most dangerous.
If he didnât do something, he was likely truly going to be killed in this cave, formally fulfilling the saying "passion leads to danger."
Considering he was also trying to probe the true identity of âTailed Ksitigarbhaâ in reality, this moment could be said to be a sleepy person finding a pillow; Xu Shu naturally couldnât give up this opportunity.
"As for that, this ritual with five sacrifices â a maiden, a gambler, a criminal, a scholar, a whore â this peculiar sacrificial ritual, it sounds familiar!"
"Not in this legend, but, Iâve heard about it in reality..."
Xu Shu deep in thought, juggling multiple ideas, continued this legend:
