Lumian saw that the man in the black robe had a face exactly like his own, but there were some differences in the subtleties:
The depth of the other party's light blue eyes was vaguely silvery, white and black, and the skin on his face was a little darker than it was, not knowing whether it was the effect of the shadow of the hood or the original one.
"Who are you!" Lumian blurted out in shock, but the sound was blocked back by the cloth stuffed in his mouth, leaving only vague movement.
The man in the black robe smiled, did not introduce himself, turned his body, and walked towards the position where the priest of the main hall was standing.
Lumian tried to catch up, eager to figure out who this person was, why he came, and how he had appeared in the tomb chamber of the dead wizard before.
For him, this is important.
Although the priest was able to preserve his memory in the cycle, although he was both surprised and stunned, and did not expect it at all, this matter could be put into his various speculations about the nature of the cycle, it could be explained, and it was not contradictory at all, after all, there was an example of Madame Pualis before.
And this black-robed man appeared extremely abruptly, not to say that his own existence was abrupt, Lumian had always known that in the tomb of the dead wizard, in addition to the owl and the one lying in the coffin, there was another person, suspected of being behind all kinds of abnormalities in Kordu Village.
What is abrupt is that this man in black robe looks exactly like Lumian, and he is suspected to be another him.
This is Lumian's various speculations about the nature of the cycle that cannot be explained and cannot be tolerated!
There must be something wrong with this! Lumian struggled to lean forward, but was restrained by the rope and fell to the altar with a thud.
This fell caused his nosebleeds that had been solidified to flow out again, and the wounds that were red and swollen to purple became more and more obvious.
Lumian did not give up, even though he couldn't use his hands and feet, he still relied on the strong flexibility brought by the "dancer", twisting like a snake and crawling towards the man in black robes, crawling with great difficulty.
His mind was full of only some similar thoughts:
Be sure to figure out who this man in black robes is and why he is here!
This must be some kind of embodiment of the nature of the cycle, once this secret is unlocked, there is hope to use the cycle to get out of the current predicament and finally solve the various anomalies in Kordu Village!
Tick, tick, the blood on Lumian's face dripped to the ground, leaving a bright red color, and his body that struggled afterwards rendered this color everywhere, a mess, full of blood.
He tried hard to get closer to the man in the black robe, but he couldn't make a sound from his mouth, and his expression was horrifyingly distorted by pain and eagerness.
The man in black robes, who looked exactly like Lumian, looked down at the ground and looked at the priest Guillaume. Bennett:
"Let's start the ceremony."
"Okay." Guillaume. Benet gave a message to the shepherd Pierre on the edge of the altar. Berry said, "Carry Lumian to the altar."
Pierre. Berry came over, grabbed Lumian's armpit, and lifted him up.
No! Lumian struggled there with all his might, like a fish fresh out of the water.
This "slippery" is the shepherd Pierre. Berry almost let go.
The gentle emotions in Pierre's eyes quickly faded, and the feeling of ferocity and brutality was highlighted.
His strength suddenly became very strong, and he abruptly controlled Lumian's body and threw him on the altar.
Immediately afterwards, Pierre. Berry looked at Lumian and laughed softly:
"It's better to expect yourself to die directly during the ceremony than to live to the end.
"I promise, then you will regret it."
Is this in response to my previous "provocation"? As soon as such a thought flashed through Lumian's mind, he saw Aurore in a simple white robe walking beside him.
She leaned against an altar full of lilacs and tulips, looking at her brother with empty eyes.
All the villagers in the church flocked to this side, half-surrounding the altar area.
The priest then took out two gray-white candles and placed them in the corresponding positions of Aurore and Lumian.
Then, he placed the same candle at his feet, forming a pattern of two high and one low with the altar.
After a few seconds, the parish priest spiritually lit the three candles in the order from top to bottom and from left to right.
The faint sweetness penetrated into Lumian's nose little by little, making him suddenly feel a little dazed, only to feel that this scene was inexplicably familiar.
…………
Ryan, Leah, and Valentine sneaked to the side of the Eternal Sun Church with the brownish-yellow suitcase.
They hid in a dark place, looking inside through the stained glass, and saw the altar of the "Eternal Sun" changing its appearance, seeing Lumian tied up and placed on the left, Aurore standing on the right, and seeing the parish priest facing the siblings, with a lit gray and white candle at his feet, and a faceless man in black robes and Pierre on both sides. Berry.
Witnessing this scene, Valentine's fists instantly clenched, and there seemed to be a golden light flashing in his eyes.
Leah glanced sideways at him, worried that the companion was so angry that he lost 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 retracted his gaze and said in a low voice:
"We went around closer to the altar, broke the glass, and launched a surprise attack, trying to snatch Lumian and Aurore out of the village within a minute.
"If you don't achieve your goal within a minute, give up this operation, flee to that river, and actively trigger the loop."
"Okay." Valentai and Leah replied in a deep voice, and the other nodded.
Lane then added:
"Valentine, you are ready for 'sunshine', we can't hold back anymore, we have to use '2-217' now."
"No problem." While Valentine responded, Leah pulled out a box of matches.
Controlling the small silver bells on her veil and boots, she circled the square in the village of Kordu at breakneck speed, throwing a few matches in different places.
This is the default channel for subsequent retreats.
"Magician" does not perform unprepared.
After Leah finished these things, the three official investigators carefully circled under the stained glass on the side of the altar.
Valentine looked up and said to Ryan:
"The ceremony is about to begin, we have to act immediately."
Lane was also observing the situation inside the church, frowning and saying:
"Have you noticed anything wrong?"
Liya quickly passed the scene she had just seen, and replied in an eager tone:
"I can't hear the sound inside!"
They had already come to less than three meters away from the nearest villagers, but they couldn't hear any sound coming from inside, and those villagers were obviously talking passionately!
Ryan's eyes tightened, and he instantly had a guess.
He stood up, ignoring being discovered by the cultists inside the church, and slammed into the stained-glass window in front of him.
The sound echoed, the supposedly fragile glass was intact, and the villagers inside the church seemed unaware of the movement outside.
As Ryan condensed the Dawn Armor and the Sword of Dawn, Leah ran in circles outside the window.
This time, none of the small silver bells that had been deliberately controlled rang out.
From Lia'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?
So, she thinks the correct answer is:
Very dangerous!
It was so dangerous that the silver bell seal was completely disturbed or did not dare to react!
Bang!
The "Sword of the Morning Dawn" that condensed the light struck a piece of stained glass, but it had no effect, and the entire church seemed to be wrapped in an invisible and terrifying force, making it impossible for outsiders to enter.
A pillar of pure light enveloping the flames fell out of thin air with the opening of Valentine's arm, but did not appear in the church as he expected, but only landed on the outside of the stained glass, causing ripples.
It seems that the inside and outside are completely isolated.
Ryan made a quick decision and said to Valentine and Lia:
"Try that seal, if it doesn't work, we'll go outside the village to trigger the cycle."
The reason why Ryan didn't propose to evacuate immediately, and wanted to try to see if he could break in and rescue Lumian and Auror, was because he suspected that once the ritual actually started, the cycle might be affected, and at that time, he and others might not be able to get out of Kordu Village, and they would not be able to restart everything here.
Valentine wasted no time and directly summoned the illusory golden flames.
With two snaps, Ryan opened the suitcase and presented the "Tanago Scarecrow" with half of his body covered in skin.
He pasted the front of the scarecrow against the stained glass and untied the thick black cloth.
A pair of eyes that seemed to come from humans suddenly appeared on the face of "2-217", which were embedded in brownish-green straw without any emotion.
The two eyes rolled and saw Pons. Bene.
The villain froze and turned around and ran to the window.
As he ran, his body disappeared, and his clothes fell lightly to the ground, covering his leather shoes.
A piece of flesh covered in skin appeared on the neck of the "Tanago Scarecrow", which merged with the straw below.
"It's useful!" Ryan and the others were filled with joy in their hearts.
This means that the church is not inaccessible and that the protection of the altar cannot be broken!
…………
"The constellation is about to change!"
"It's finally coming!"
「……」
In the heated discussion of the villagers, permeating the surrounding smell of gray amber, lilac, musk and tulip, Lumian had a strange sense of déjà vu, relying on the flexibility of a "dancer", and forcibly supported his upper body while being tied.
The next second, he saw the priest open his mouth and shout in the ancient Hermes:
"The great 'ring of fate'!"
As soon as the name was blurted out, the inside of the church suddenly became dark, and the villagers instantly fell silent.
The orange flames on the three candles were pressed to the size of peppercorns, all dyed silver white with black.
Lumian's mind immediately buzzed, and there was a familiar burning sensation in his chest again.
His vision then flickered strangely, and the golden dome on the height, Auror with empty eyes on his side, the priest with a solemn expression in front of him, and the man in black robe wearing a hood appeared in his eyes at the same time.
He felt a sharp pain in his head, and he felt as if something was being dragged out in the depths of his memory, which was extremely similar to the picture he saw in front of him.
The sense of familiarity and déjà vu once again appeared in Lumian's heart, dozens or hundreds of times stronger than just now.
Plop, plop!
He heard the sound of his heart beating.
