Seeing Lumian showing unconcealable shock and astonishment, the parish priest Guillaume. Bene straightened up with satisfaction and said to Pons. Bennett:
"Take a good look at him!"
After saying that, the priest walked to the altar position.
As he walked away, the surrounding villagers seemed to "come to life" and discussed different topics in groups of three or five:
"The constellation is about to change."
"Our good luck is coming!"
"It won't be long before we all get rich!"
"When the time comes, I will drink a bottle of wine every day and eat a pound of meat for each meal!"
"I'm looking for a beautiful woman."
"I'm going to see a theater performance."
「……」
Lumian's mind was in a mess, and he didn't pay attention to Guillaume at all. When did Benet leave?
The priest's words just now were like throwing a boulder into a calm lake, stirring up waves after waves:
"How is that possible?
"In the last cycle, he was killed by me because he didn't understand my specialness!
"At that time, I didn't know what was special about me, and it was normal for him not to know...... With that battle, he never clashed with me again in the next two cycles until Aurore's abnormal behavior appeared......
"But he didn't seem to know the cycle before, the angry scolding when I broke through the affair scene, the weakness when Leah sneaked into the church and knocked him unconscious, and the fury when Aurore peeked at him with a 'blank sheet of paper', all of which didn't seem fake!
"If these were all performed by him, then his forbearance would be terrifying......
"Moreover, he also knows that Mrs. Pualis has a memory of the cycle, and may have a certain degree of understanding of the anomalies in the castle, but he still has an affair with Mrs. Pualis at the beginning of each cycle, and he will never make people suspicious of him at all.
"If it were me, after figuring out what Mrs. Pualis had done, let alone sleeping with her, it would be impossible to even have desire!"
The more Lumian thought about it, the more he felt that the priest was terrifying, which was completely different from the horror of Madame Puaris.
He immediately had some questions:
"Why didn't the priest of the parish, who retains his memory, sacrifice the three sheep at the beginning, obtain the corresponding gift, firmly control the entire village of Kordu, and complete the Twelfth Night ritual on the first day?
"This can eliminate all accidents!
"What exactly is he waiting for, every time it is almost Lent to hold the sacrificial ceremony......
"The ceremony has a date and time requirement?
"The celebration of Lent is an integral part of the Twelfth Night ritual, so it is not until Lent is completed that the priest of the parish has the opportunity to advance the subsequent rituals?
"Then you can control everyone from the beginning and wait for Lent to come......
"Also, they prayed for 'gifts' twice in the three cycles, wouldn't that hidden being find it strange? Yes, He may have done something, such as helping the parish priest restore his memory!
"No, if their sacrificial ritual is truly completed, then the three sheep will not enter the cycle again at all, their spirits, their extraordinary characteristics, should have gone to the hidden existence.
"Is it like Raymond that the spirit gathers around the altar and does not break out of the cycle?
"Who are the priests of this parish praying to, and who has 'bestowed' their strength......"
As soon as Lumian thought of this, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower body.
He couldn't help but curl up, but he was pulled by the rope that tied him again, and he couldn't really complete the action.
Pons. Bene withdrew his right foot that kicked Lumian between his legs, and watched with satisfaction as the bastard boy broke out of a cold sweat the size of a soybean on his forehead, unable to even scream.
He squatted down, raised his right hand, and slapped Lumian:
"Is it cool? I ask you if you are happy!"
Before Lumian could answer, he shook his arm again and twitched his right face, causing Lumian's ears to buzz, and he felt like his head was about to be blown out.
See Lumian being killed by Pons. Benet beat Raymond's father Pierre. Clegg walked over this side, squatted down, and sighed:
"Endure it, endure it and it will pass.
"Our horoscope will change soon, and good luck is on the horizon.
"If you leave at this time, you will miss the opportunity!"
He didn't care about Lumian's reaction, and repeatedly used the same words to persuade and appease him.
Lumian didn't listen to Pierre at all. What was Clegg saying, he looked at Pons. Bene's eyes were not at all angry, as if he was looking at the air.
He completely ignored this person, the pain and humiliation that this villain had brought to himself.
There was only one thing on his mind:
"The situation is dangerous now!
"It is unlikely that Ryan, Leah, and Valentine will take the initiative to trigger the loop and restart everything in advance until they confirm what the priests want to do, and they have just fought and don't know when they will recover, so they may not sneak back into the village until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
"In this way, no one can stop the priest from holding the ceremony in advance tonight......"
Papa, Pons. Bene kept slapping Lumian in the face, kicking his lower body, and doubling back the pain he had suffered before.
Lumian's thoughts were interrupted by pain again and again, and he was unwilling to waste even a second of time on Pons. Bennet.
This makes Pence. Bene became even angrier and hit harder.
"My specialness has been discovered and targeted, and there is no chance of destroying the ritual again......
"What should I do......
"What should I do?"
Lumian endured the pain and thought of a way out of his current predicament.
Pons beat him for a while, beating him so much that he was a little tired, stopped, and gasped:
"If the priest of this parish doesn't let me kill you, I will cut off your flesh piece by piece, including the one below!"
Hearing this, Lumian was stunned for a moment, and a light flashed in his mind:
"Kill me?
"Kill me!"
He raised his head sharply and looked at Pons. Bene, showing a smile that was both bright and distorted by pain:
"Just this little strength? Are you using your little lice knife to catch lice for me?"
He entered the state of Sequence 8 "Provocateur".
…………
In the alpine grassland closest to Kordu Village.
Ryan covered in tattered armor guarded the entrance position and said to Valentine and Leah beside him:
"How does it feel?"
"I'm fine." Valentine responded immediately.
Liya said:
"My spirituality is almost restored."
Ryan nodded, dispersed the "Dawn Armor" and said:
"When I take a break and recover some, we will return to Kordu Village."
"Now?" Liya was a little surprised.
Not long after they escaped from Kordu Village.
Ryan exhaled slowly and said:
"We must confirm Guillaume as soon as possible. Why did the Bene gang raid us tonight instead of just before the twelfth night?
"Moreover, they captured Lumian and Aurore, but they didn't chase them here. My experience tells me that there must be something wrong with this."
Lia nodded slowly:
"But our condition is not very good."
After all, there has already been a big battle.
"That's why Guillaume. Bene never thought that we would dare to go back to Cordu Village tonight." Lane explained his thoughts, "Also, we left that thing at Lumian and Auror's house, and it must be retrieved as soon as possible, and it cannot be used by Guillaume. Bene and the others took it."
At the mention of that thing, both Valentine and Lia's expressions became serious.
They agree to Ryan's plan.
…………
Syllable!
Pons. Bene slapped Lumian in the face again, causing severe pain in the bridge of his nose, and two streams of bright red blood flowed down to his mouth, bringing a fishy and salty taste.
"How about now?" Pons. Bene asked with a smile.
Lumian observed his expression and movements, confirming that the words just now did not have the expected effect.
He sucked his bloody nose and replied with a smile:
"Any other woman will hurt more than you!"
"Really?" Pons. Bennet's expression darkened.
With a snap, he pulled his backhand onto Lumian's mouth, causing his two teeth to fly out with blood and water.
Relying on the insight brought by the "provocateur" and his original mischievous experience, Lumian was keenly aware of Pons. Bennet's reaction was different from just now.
He was very knowledgeable about various scandals and rumors in Kordu Village, and vaguely thought of something, and said with a smile:
"You don't seem to have a mistress."
His mouth was swollen high, two teeth were missing, and his speech was a little slurred.
Hearing the word "mistress", Pons. Bene's expression changed slightly, and he kicked Lumian's crotch.
Lumian almost fainted in pain and was speechless for several seconds.
He forced out a smile and said,
"And the mistresses of the priest of this parish are all over the village.
"Aren't you okay?"
Pons. Bene's expression instantly became extremely gloomy.
Lumian knew he had guessed right.
He endured the pain and made his eyes quietly become a little deeper.
He didn't dare to use the "provocation" ability just now, he was afraid that if he used it too often, someone would find out that it was wrong, now, it's time!
Lumian then burst into laughter:
"Has your wife also been slept with by the priest of this parish?
"Are all your children his?"
Pons. Bene's eyes turned red.
He suddenly stretched out his hands, grabbed Lumian's neck, and shouted in a low voice with all his strength:
"Why don't you die!"
Lumian heard a clicking sound in his neck and felt his breathing begin to become difficult.
He was not afraid at all, but curled the corners of his mouth, calmly waiting for the extreme pain and final death to come.
He tried his best to provoke Pons. Bene just wanted him to kill himself.
Once he dies, the cycle will be triggered, everything will immediately restart, everything will go back to the beginning, and there is room for salvation!
Lumian not only thought of abetting Valentine's suicide to verify the nature of the cycle, but also considered risking his own life to fill in the case of an emergency!
Compared to the current situation, what is there to be afraid of?
He looked at Pons, who had a ferocious expression to the extreme. Bene's purple lips moved twice, as if to say, "Please kill me quickly."
