Lumian saw that the man in black robe had a face exactly like his own, but there were some slight differences: the depths of his light blue eyes were vaguely silvery and black, and the skin on his face was probably a hood. The effect of the shadow is still the same, slightly darker.
"Who are you!" Lumian blurted out in shock, but the cloth stuffed in his mouth blocked his voice, leaving only vague movement.
The man in black robe smiled, turned around without introducing himself, and walked towards where the priest was standing.
Lumian tried to catch up, eager to find out who this person was and why he came here, and why he had appeared in the dead wizard's tomb before.
Although the priest was able to preserve memories in a loop, which surprised and stunned him. He had not expected it at all beforehand. However, this matter can be established and explained based on his various speculations about the nature of the loop. It is not at all Paradoxical, after all, there was the example of Mrs. Poialis before.
What's surprising is that this man in black robes looks exactly like Lumian, and seems to be another him.
This is something that Lumian’s various speculations about the nature of circulation cannot explain and cannot tolerate!
There must be something wrong here!
Lumian tried his best to lean forward, but was restrained by the ropes and fell onto the altar with a plop.
The fall caused his previously coagulated nosebleeds to flow out again, and the injuries that were red, swollen and purple became more obvious.
Lumian did not give up. Even though he could not use his hands and feet, he still relied on the strong flexibility brought by the "dancer" to twist like a snake and crawl toward the man in black robes, crawling with great difficulty.
His mind was filled with only similar thoughts:
We must find out who this man in black robe is and why he appears here!
This must be some kind of manifestation of the nature of the cycle. Once this secret is solved, there is hope to use the cycle to get out of the current predicament and finally solve the various anomalies in Kordu Village!
Tick-tock, tick-tock, the blood on Lumian's face fell to the ground drop by drop, leaving a bright red color, and his subsequent struggling body spread this color everywhere, making it a mess and smelling of blood.
He tried hard to get closer to the man in black robes, but no sound came out of his mouth, and his expression was horribly distorted with pain and eagerness.
The man in black robe who looked exactly like Lumian looked down at the ground and said to the parish priest Guillaume Bennet:
"Let the ceremony begin."
"Okay." Guillaume Benet said to the shepherd Pierre Berry at the edge of the altar, "Carry Lumian to the altar."
Pierre Berry came over, grabbed Lumian's armpits, and lifted him up.
No! Lumian struggled there with all his strength, like a fish just taken out of the water.
It was so "slippery" that the shepherd Pierre Berry almost let go.
The gentle emotion in Pierre's eyes quickly faded, and the brutal feeling of the murder room became prominent.
His strength suddenly became very strong, and he took control of Lumian's body and threw him onto the altar. Then, Pierre Berry looked at Lumian and laughed softly:
"You'd better hope to die right away during the ritual, rather than live to the end.
"I promise, you'll regret it."
Is this in response to my previous "provocation"? As soon as this thought flashed through Lumian's mind, he saw Aurore wearing a simple white robe walking next to him.
She leaned against the altar filled with lilacs and tulips, looking at her brother blankly.
All the villagers in the church flocked here, semi-surrounding the altar area.
The priest then took out two off-white candles and placed them in the corresponding positions of Aurore and Lumian.
Then, he placed a similar candle under his feet, forming a pattern of two high and one low with the one on the altar. After a few seconds, the priest lit the three candles with his spirit in order from top to bottom and from left to right. A faint sweetness penetrated Lumian's nose little by little, making him suddenly feel dazed and feeling that this scene was inexplicably familiar.
Ryan, Liya and Valentine took the brown suitcase and sneaked to the side of the "Eternal Sun" church. They hid in the darkness and looked inside through the stained glass. They saw the altar of the "Eternal Blazing Sun" changing its appearance. They saw Lumian being tied up on the left side and Aurore standing on the right side. They saw the parish priest standing there. For the two siblings, there was a lit gray candle at their feet, and on either side were a faceless man in black robe and Pierre Berry.
Witnessing this scene, Valentine's fists clenched instantly, and golden light seemed to flash in his eyes. Liya glanced sideways at him, worried that her companion would be so angry that he would lose his mind.
Fortunately, Valentine is also a "purifier" who has performed many missions and knows what to do and what not to do now. Ryan looked away and said in a lowered voice:
"We went around closer to the altar, broke through the glass, and launched a surprise attack, trying to snatch Lumian and Aurore out of the village within a minute.
"If you fail to achieve your goal within one minute, give up this operation, escape to the river, and actively trigger the cycle."
"Okay." Valentine and Liya replied solemnly, while the other nodded. Lane then added:
"Valentine, get ready for 'Sunshine', we can no longer hold back, we have to use '2-217' now." "
"No problem." When Valentine responded, Liya took out a box of matches.
She controlled the small silver bells on her veil and boots, and circled the square of Kordu Village at a very fast speed, throwing several matches to different places.
This is the preset passage for subsequent retreat.
"Magicians" don't perform without preparation.
After Liya finished these things, the three official investigators carefully walked around under the stained glass on the side of the altar.
Valentine looked up and said to Ryan:
"The ceremony is about to begin, we must act immediately."
Ryan was also observing the situation inside the church, frowned and said:
"Did you notice anything wrong?"
Liya quickly went through the scene she just saw and replied urgently: "I can't hear the sound inside!"
They had arrived less than three meters away from the nearest villager, but they could not hear any sound coming from inside. The villagers were obviously chatting enthusiastically!
Ryan's eyes tightened, and he suddenly had a guess.
He stood up, not caring about being discovered by the cultists inside the church, and slammed into the stained glass window in front of him. The clanging sound echoed, the fragile glass was intact, and the villagers inside the church seemed unaware of the movement outside.
While Ryan was condensing "Dawn Armor" and "Morning Sword", Liya started running in circles outside the window.
This time, none of the little silver bells that were not deliberately controlled rang.
Interpreted from Liya's point of view, this means that there is no danger at all, but looking at the scene in the church, how can there be no danger?
Therefore, she thinks the correct answer is:
very dangerous!
It was so dangerous that even the sealed object Silver Bell was completely disturbed or did not dare to react!
boom!
The "Sword of Dawn" condensed with light struck a stained glass, but failed to produce any effect. The entire church seemed to be wrapped in an invisible and terrifying force, and outsiders could not enter.
A pillar of pure light surrounded by flames descended out of thin air as Valentine opened his arms, but did not appear in the church as he expected. It just fell on the outside of the stained glass, causing ripples.
The inside and outside seemed completely isolated.
Ryan made a quick decision and said to Valentine and Liya:
"Try that sealed object. If it doesn't work, we will go outside the village to trigger the cycle."
The reason why Ryan didn't suggest an immediate evacuation and wanted to try to break in and rescue Lumian and Aurore was because he suspected that once the ceremony actually started, the cycle might be affected. By then, he and others might I can't leave Kordu Village, and I can't restart everything here.
Valentine wasted no time and directly summoned the illusory golden flames.
With two snaps, Ryan opened the suitcase and took out the "Tanago Scarecrow" with half of its body covered with skin.
He pressed the front of the scarecrow against the stained glass and untied the thick black cloth.
A pair of human eyes suddenly appeared on "2-217"'s face. They were embedded in brown-green straw and contained no emotion.
Two eyes turned and saw Pence Benet standing at the edge of the altar.
The villain froze, turned around and ran towards the window.
As he ran, his body disappeared, and his clothes fell lightly to the ground, covering his leather shoes.
A piece of flesh and blood covering the skin appeared on the neck of the "Tanago Scarecrow", which merged with the straw below.
"It works!" Ryan and others felt joyful in their hearts.
This means that the church is not impenetrable, and the protection of the altar is not impenetrable!
…………
"The horoscope is changing!"
"It's finally here!"
"..."
In the heated discussion among the villagers, surrounded by the smell of gray amber, lilac, musk and tulip, Lumian had a strange sense of déjà vu, relying on the flexibility of a "dancer", while being tied up, He forcibly raised his upper body.
The next second, he saw the priest open his mouth and shout in ancient Hermetic: "The great 'ring of destiny'!" "
As soon as the name was spoken, the interior of the church suddenly became dark, and the villagers fell silent instantly.
The orange flames on the three candles were suppressed to the size of peppercorns, and were all dyed silvery white and black. Lumian's mind immediately buzzed, and he felt the familiar burning feeling in his chest again.
His sight then began to sway strangely. The magnificent dome at the top, Aurore with empty eyes beside him, the solemn-looking priest in front of him, and the man in black robe appeared in layers at the same time. In his eyes.
There was a sharp pain in his head, and he felt as if something was being pulled out from the depths of his memory. It was very similar to the scene he saw in front of him.
The sense of familiarity and déjà vu came to Lumian's mind again, dozens or hundreds of times stronger than before.
Thump, thump!
He heard the beating of his own heart.
