He had a dark brown eyes and short black hair with a little gray highlight. His name is Zhou Mingzhen a software engineer that worked in a pretigious company as a consulant.
He walked for a while until he reaches a modest looking house. He knocks 3 times and a voice was heard from the insides.
"Coming!"
After a short while the door opened with a creak. The one who opened the door was a young man with the almost the same appearance as Zhou Mingzhen but younger, he also wear glasses on his face.
"Brother, you took a while, Mom and Dad is already asleep".
Zhou Mingzhen entered the house as he apologized.
"My bad, someone hit a cat on the road. I had to bury it"
"Oh"
The young man closed and lock the door behind him, following him to the living room. Zhou Mingzhen put the plastic bag on the table. Inside was a few mischelanious that was essentials for a household and a mosquito repellant that was the most important.
He then went to the dinner table and saw a four portion of noodles and a candle in a specific spot.
"Anyway, what's this, I thought mom and dad was already asleep".
"Ahem, its nothing... just trying something".
"... don't tell me you're trying to do a weird ritual again", Zhou Mingzhen looked at the young man with a deadpan expression.
"Well, I've been having some bad luck recently and i just found this luck enhancement ritual in the book, so i thought why not?"
"Sigh... Zhou... Ming... Rui... how many times do i have to tell you, mysticisim doesn't exist. Stop wasting food for your weird hobby!"
"It's not weird...", Zhou Mingrui muttered.
"Also don't move anything yet, It took me a while to set this up, at least let me do it once! Just this once!".
"... forget it, do whatever you want, I'm going to sleep".
"Wait, can you help me brother, I heard that double the people, double the success rate"
Where the heck do you even heard that, Zhou Mingzhen looked at Zhou Mingrui with a deadfish eyes.
"Alright, just this once, I swear if you don't stop your weird hobby, I'll make sure to beat the crap out of you".
"Great! Come come let me tell you the ritual"
Zhou Mingrui took out the book and pointed the important thing on the ritual. The man read it for a while and memorize it. It's nothing complicated just a few movements and 4 lines chant.
"Alright, let's do it quickly, I want sleep"
"Ok ok"
Both of the then stand in the middle of a room, and step forward in a counter-clockwise manner.
The first step, chant "The Immortal Lord of Heaven and Earth for Blessings. "
The second step, "The Sky Lord of Heaven and Earth for Blessings. "
The third step, "The Exalted Thearch of Heaven and Earth for Blessings. "
At the fourth step, "The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings. "
After the four steps were taken, both of them return to the original spot, closed their eyes, and waited. Suddenly, Zhou Mingzhen felt a dizzying sensation and then blacks out.
