I opened my eyes and scanned my surroundings.
Back to the past? How do I get there?
I looked at the broom in my hand. Am I supposed to use this?
With this piece of junk, I doubt even Harry Potter could manage it.
Complete the ritual...
I recalled the pattern drawn on that piece of paper.
The ritual from the book?
That strange rectangular shape that looked like a television, with a person inside.
Could that be the ritual?
I glanced around; there didn't seem to be a suitable place to perform that ritual here.
But... if it were really that easy to complete the ritual, I should have left this wretched place long ago.
Or perhaps, in this location, the ritual cannot be completed at all.
I thought for a moment and looked at the radio.
If not here, then it must be...
I lifted my gaze toward the elevator.
In this building, the elevator seemed the most peculiar.
Maybe the secret lies there.
I gripped the broom and stood up.
No matter what, I should give it a try first.
After all, I have no other leads.
I walked through the dimly lit corridor and arrived at the elevator.
I pressed the call button, and the elevator doors slowly opened.
I took a deep breath to calm myself and stepped inside.
Aside from the strange symbols on the wall, this was an ordinary elevator. However, instead of pressing the close button, I wedged the radio against the elevator door. This way, the door wouldn't close, and the radio wouldn't interfere with my ritual.
I took out the piece of paper and, using the patterns on it as a guide, arranged the collected items in their corresponding positions inside the elevator. After placing the last item, I stepped back, clasped my hands together, and waited anxiously.
I silently recited various prayers in my mind, hoping to see some changes in the elevator—any response at all would indicate that the ritual had begun to take effect. But…
Nothing happened.
I frowned. Was there something I overlooked? But I had placed everything I could find here.
I looked around, my gaze landing on the patterns on the elevator walls. Wait… these patterns… Could they be the key to the ritual?
A sudden realization struck me. I hurriedly pulled out my pocket knife and began to carve the patterns from the wall onto the elevator floor.
I watched excitedly, hoping my guess was correct. Once finished, I took a deep breath and stepped back again. This time, it should work.
I nervously stared at the elevator door, silently reciting names of deities in my mind. Suddenly, the elevator shook.
I jumped in surprise and quickly steadied myself against the wall. The shaking intensified, and I even heard a clicking sound.
Was this… the ritual activating?
I anxiously focused on what was happening inside the elevator, praying silently.
I was taken aback for a moment. What was happening? Why did it stop?
Suddenly, a blue light flashed in the elevator, and I widened my eyes in surprise.
Is this... the ritual starting to take effect?
However, the blue light illuminated the dust particles in the air, as if I were surrounded by a sea of stars.
I looked at the paper in my hand, then at the items placed in the elevator and the marks on the walls. Everything matched, so why was there no change?
I quickly stepped back a few paces, clasped my hands together, and nervously waited.
In my heart, I kept silently chanting, "Amitabha, Infinite Heavenly Sovereign, Amen Amen, please show your power!"
