Amandina could no longer control the dream, opened her eyes, and woke up.
Father Kali, who was right next to her, also woke up suddenly, and the human body became illusory and blurry again.
He instinctively resented himself as if he was out of control, and even a stiff short black hair grew on his body.
Father Cali's eyes reflected the figure of Lumian, with black hair and green eyes, wearing a golden straw hat. Berry held the revolver in one hand and aimed it at his forehead.
Bang!
Lumian smiled and pulled the trigger, letting a golden purification bullet shoot out of the muzzle, heading straight for the pale whiteness of the resentful soul's forehead.
"Harvest"!
At the same time, Lumian waved his left hand, which was not holding anything, towards Father Kali, as if to say:
"Goodbye, never again!"
The purification bullet exploded, and the golden flames instantly ignited the blurred Kali Temple's body.
Father Kali couldn't even scream this time, and his painful thoughts turned into invisible winds that swept around.
Lumian felt this pain and watched with a smile as the other party "burned out" under the purifying power of the "harvesting" trait, turning into a bit of dust and scattering on the ground.
At this moment, Lumian felt that his "Reaper" magic potion had been digested a little more.
Using the "Harvest" ability to harvest the lives of enemies is originally the most basic role rule of "Reaper"!
The higher the enemy's sequence, the stronger it is, and the better the effect it plays.
After adding "harvest", a fairly ordinary and common purification bullet ended the life of a "resentful soul" with only two hits.
Seeing that Father Cali had truly turned to ashes, Lumian was inexplicably amused:
Why do I always encounter fallen "Eternal Sun" priests, and then clean and purify them?
Is this paying off debts for past beliefs?
In a flash of thought, Lumian looked at Amandina who had turned over and got up, and asked with a smile:
"What did he say?"
Amandina's first reaction was to examine the wound on her shoulder, and she exclaimed:
"There is no trace at all, is this completely cured?"
If it weren't for the tears in her clothes and her shoulders still a little sore, she wouldn't feel like she was hurt.
Although you are a believer in the "Eternal Sun", you are not particularly sick and will not go to the clergy of the "Earth Mother Goddess" Church for treatment, but there are many Fenepot people in Matani Province now, haven't you had in-depth contact with them? Lumian scolded a few words, looked at Amandina indifferently, and did not answer.
However, Lugano, seeing this beautiful girl's reaction, explained with a little smugness:
"This is the ability of the 'doctor', the 'cultivator' path."
Amandina thanked her with satisfaction, rubbing her shoulders to relieve the remaining soreness, and retelling the conversation between herself and Father Cali in the dream to Lumian, Camus, and Rhea.
At the end, Amandina took a sip at the dusty places where Father Cali had splattered:
"He really became the devil's spokesperson, using the devil's power to invade Robert and the others, and control their bodies and minds.
"Fortunately, he likes men, otherwise......"
Thinking that she had been in and out of St. Sean Church for so many years, and that she was a girl with little knowledge and quite far from adulthood, Amandina secretly shuddered, sympathizing with Robert and the others, and feeling fortunate.
Lumian was thinking about another question:
That is, will the power of "Hisoka's "Resentful Soul" also come from the "Dream Festival", from the cold corpse in the strange black tomb, rather than the direct gift of the "Mother Tree of Desire"?
This explains some things better.
As far as Lumian knew, the believers of the evil gods prayed for gifts and required a ceremony to offer sacrifices, and the higher the status of the gift prayed, the higher the requirements for the sacrifice, and the larger the scale of the ceremony.
As a member of the Pyros Harbor patrol team, "Hisoka" can cover up one or two sacrifices, but it is difficult to suppress all the sacrifices, just as "Hisoka" only completed one serial murder case in Pyros Harbor.
Lumian thought that he had used the help of the "mad woman" to complete the sacrifices again and again in the more chaotic places of the Southern Continent, but now it seems that there is no need to be so troublesome at all, just go to that strange tomb once a year in the "Dream Festival" to touch the cold corpse.
"Hisoka" and Father Cali have both participated in the "Dream Festival" at least five times, and have been "Resentful Souls" for a while, but they have never broken through...... Is this because the cold corpse can only be granted to sequence 5? "Hisoka" obtained a large amount of gold and got something from the devil of the North family, in order to wait for this year's "Dream Festival", complete the corresponding things, and obtain higher gifts? Lumian turned his head sideways, glanced at Robert who was dragged nearby, and asked in confirmation:
"He is a 'psychic'?"
"Yes." It was Armandina who answered, "Father Cali told me that Robert also gained extraordinary power by touching that black, huge stone, but why am I a 'nightmare' and he is a 'psychic'?"
Higher, compound powers...... Just as the Great Mother bestows three different powers: the Medicine Sorcerer, the Cultivator, and the Villain...... Lumian is not at all surprised by this situation, and Camus and Rhea are as confused as Amandina.
Lumian didn't bother to explain this complex, high-level question, turned his body halfway, and said to Rhea:
"Your dream projection should still exist, so be careful next.
"The question now is whether your dream projection will affect your life if it is killed."
Rhea nodded, showing a thoughtful expression.
Lumian refocused his gaze on Robert, thinking of the devil who was helping Father Cali:
"That should be the one from the North family who established contact with Hisoka......
"The devils do not do 'good deeds' for no reason, whether it is to establish a connection with 'Hisock' or to respond to the rituals of Father Kali, there must be a purpose for it, and while it should be a commendable and interesting enough thing for the devil to see a priest of the 'Eternal Sun' church gradually fall, it is not a sufficient reason for its close involvement......
"What does it also want to get in the 'Dream Festival'?
"The cold corpse in that black tomb gives the gift of the 'prisoner' path, and the 'prisoner' and the 'criminal' path where the devils are located are adjacent to each other......"
Lumian roughly grasped some of the context of the matter and said to himself:
"A very important question now is, where did those tomb keepers go during the 'Dream Festival', and why do they no longer protect the black tomb?"
No one could answer him.
Seeing that he had been looking at the unconscious Robert, Amandina hesitated for a moment and said:
"Can you let him go? Don't kill him, he is also a victim."
In your mind, am I a murderer? Lumian responded amusedly:
"As long as Robert wakes up and doesn't seek revenge on me, and doesn't kill me to pay for Father Kali's life, I won't waste my spirituality on him."
Shout...... Amandina breathed a sigh of relief, she rubbed her shoulders again, and muttered:
"You are so ruthless, I just thought you wanted to kill me together in order to deal with Father Kali.
"That shot hurts!"
Lumian sneered:
"Which of the two options, being possessed by the 'resentful spirit' until death and being shot in the shoulder?
"I don't care what you think of me, I don't care about any sacrifices, I only make the right choice, at least you were saved, right?"
Amandina was just habitually coquettish, but after hearing Lumian's reply, she asked with great interest:
"That is, in order to help someone important, you can sacrifice a lot and make the right choice?
"If, I mean, if I am aroused by the devil and urgently need to vent, otherwise I will become a monster, will you sacrifice yourself to help me?"
Lumian laughed and said:
"Do you have unnecessary expectations for me?
"Don't worry, I will help you find someone willing to sacrifice."
As he spoke, his eyes swept over Camus, Lugano, and Robert, who was still unconscious.
"It's not interesting......" Amandina muttered softly.
Seeing this, Camus sighed secretly, feeling that he had escaped from the beauty he imagined.
Lumian looked at Robert again and said to Amandina:
"Wake him up, communicate with him, I want to ask him for help."
If you don't want to, there is Camus who specializes in torture.
"Okay." Amandina responded crisply, quickly waking Robert up and telling her fiancé about her current situation.
She consciously did not mention that Father Cali had been killed, creating the illusion that the "vengeful soul" might have escaped from the area.
"If I help, will you let me go?" Robert struggled to stand up.
Lumian pointed to Camus and Rhea:
"You don't believe me, you don't believe in the patrol team?"
Robert was silent for a few seconds and said:
"What's the matter?"
Lumian laughed:
"Go do something in the house in Tewanaco."
…………
Brieu Hotel, 2nd floor.
Men in dark gray formal attire and women in feathered hats both heard a slight chewing sound coming from the depths of the hallway, which was completely different from the shouts, screams, and moans that echoed through the hotel, as if it shouldn't happen at the "Dream Festival".
Suddenly, the chewing sound stopped.
Almost at the same time, the man in the dark gray formal suit seemed to have been stabbed into the waist with a red-hot iron rod and bounced off.
His expression was extremely tense, sweat on his forehead was running wildly to the first floor, and he ran the stairs in the blink of an eye.
He ran all the way out of the Briu Hotel, ran to the intersection, and then stopped, looking fearful and frightened.
"What's wrong?" A woman wearing a light-colored long dress suddenly appeared beside the man, half puzzled and half solemn.
The man in a dark gray formal suit gasped:
"Huh, huh, huh, don't you feel it? That terrifying malice!
"My heart was dug out, my tongue was torn off, and my brain was stirred into a thick soup."
