Amandine could no longer control her dream, opened her eyes, and woke up.
Next to her, Father Cali suddenly woke up, and his human body once again became illusory and blurry.
Instinctively and out of control, he turned into a resentful spirit, and even grew a bunch of hard black short hair on his body.
Lumian's figure was reflected in Father Cali's eyes. Louis Berry, who had black hair and green eyes and wore a golden straw hat, held a revolver in one hand and aimed at his forehead.
Bang!
Lumian smiled and pulled the trigger, letting a golden purifying bullet shoot out from the muzzle, heading straight for the pale spot on the forehead of the resentful soul.
"Harvest"!
At the same time, Lumian's left hand, which was not holding anything, waved towards Father Cali, as if to say:
"Goodbye, never again!"
The purification bullet exploded, and golden flames instantly ignited the entire body of the disfigured Father Cali.
Father Cali couldn't even scream this time. His painful thoughts became tangible and turned into an invisible strong wind, sweeping around.
Lumian felt this pain and watched with a smile as the other party "burned out" under the purification power with the "harvest" quality, turning into little bits of dust and scattering to the ground.
At this moment, Lumian felt that his "Reaper" potion was digested a little more.
Using the "harvest" ability to harvest the lives of enemies is the most basic rule of playing a "reaper"!
The higher the enemy's rank, the stronger the enemy, and the better the performance effect.
After adding "Harvest", a very common and common purification bullet can end the life of a "haunted soul" in just two hits.
Seeing Father Cali literally reduced to ashes, Lumian was inexplicably amused:
How come I keep encountering corrupted priests of the Eternal Sun and then cleansing and purifying them?
Is this repaying a debt for past beliefs?
As soon as the thought flashed, Lumian looked at Amandine who turned over and climbed up, and asked with a smile:
"What did he say?"
Amandine's first reaction was to check the wound on her shoulder. She exclaimed:
"There's no trace at all. Does this mean it's completely cured?"
If her clothes weren't torn and her shoulders weren't a little sore, she wouldn't have felt injured.
Miss Amandine, don't act like you have never seen the world. Although you are a believer in the "Eternal Sun" and your illness is not particularly serious, you will not go to the clergy of the "Earth Mother Goddess" church for treatment.
But there are many Feneport people in Matanibon. Haven't you had in-depth contact with them? Lumian cursed a few times, looked at Amandine indifferently, and did not answer.
Lugano, on the other hand, saw this beautiful girl reacting like this and explained with a little complacency:
"This is the ability of the 'physician', the path of the 'cultivator'."
Amandine thanked her with satisfaction, and while rubbing her shoulders to relieve the remaining soreness, she completely recited the conversation between herself and Father Cali in the dream to Lumian, Camus and Rhea.
At the end of the story, Amandine pouted at the place where Father Cali's dust had fallen:
"He really became the devil's advocate, using the devil's power to invade Robert and others and control their bodies and minds.
"Fortunately, he likes men, otherwise..."
Thinking that she had often been in and out of St. Sean's Church for so many years, and that she was still a girl who had little knowledge and was far away from adulthood, Amandine shuddered secretly, feeling sorry for Robert and the others, but also feeling lucky.
Lumian was thinking about another question:
That is, will "Hisoka's" "Resentful Soul" path power also come from the "Dream Festival", from the cold corpse in that weird black tomb, rather than a direct gift from the "Mother Tree of Desire"?
This explains some things better.
According to Lumian's knowledge, believers of the evil god need to perform rituals and offer sacrifices to pray for gifts. The higher the status of the gift they are praying for, the higher the requirements for sacrifices and the larger the scale of the ceremony.
As a member of the Palos Port 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 series of sacrifices in Palos Port.
Same as murder case.
Lumian used to think that he was using the help of the "Crazy Girl" to complete sacrifices in more chaotic places in the southern continent. But now it seems that there is no need to go to that strange place at the "Dream Festival" every year.
Just touch the cold corpse of the ancient tomb once.
"Hisoka" and Father Kali have participated in the "Dream Festival" at least five times, and have been "revengeful souls" for a while, but they have never made a breakthrough... This is because the cold corpse can only be gifted 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 side
He turned his head, glanced at Robert who was dragged nearby, and asked in confirmation:
"He's a 'psychic'?"
"Yes." It was Amandine who answered, "Father Cali told me that Robert also gained extraordinary power by touching the black, huge stone, but why am I a 'nightmare' and he is'
Psychic'?"
A higher level, compound power... Just as the "Great Mother" can bestow three different powers: "Medicine", "Cultivator" and "Villain"... Lumian is not surprised at all by this situation.
Camus and Rhea were as confused as Amandine.
Lumian was too lazy to explain this complicated, high-level issue. He turned around and said to Ruiya:
"Your dream projection should still exist, so be careful next time.
"The question now is whether killing your dream projection will affect your life."
Ruiya nodded, showing a thoughtful expression.
Lumian turned his attention to Robert again and thought of the devil who provided help to Father Cali:
"That should be the North family member who has established contact with "Hisoka"...
"Devils don't do 'good things' for no reason. Whether they are establishing contact with 'Hisoka' or responding to Father Cali's ritual, they definitely have their own purpose. Although it is seen that a priest of the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' church gradually gradually
Fall, should be an admirable and interesting enough thing for the devil, but it is not a sufficient reason for its close involvement...
"What does it also want to get at the 'Dream Festival'?
"The cold corpse in the black tomb can give the gift of the 'prisoner' path, and the 'prisoner' and the 'criminal' path where the devils are located are adjacent..."
Lumian roughly grasped some of the context of the matter and said to himself:
"A very important question now is, where did the tomb guards go during the Dream Festival? Why did they no longer protect the black tomb?"
No one could answer him.
Seeing that he kept looking at the unconscious Robert, Amandine hesitated 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 hilariously:
"As long as Robert doesn't seek revenge from me after he wakes up, and doesn't kill me to pay for Father Cali's life, I won't waste my soul on him."
Huh... Amandine was obviously relieved. She rubbed her shoulders again and muttered:
"You are such a cruel person. Just now I thought you wanted to kill me too in order to deal with Father Cali.
"That shot really hurt!"
Lumian sneered:
“Between the two options of being possessed by a ‘ghost’ until death or being shot in the shoulder, which one would you choose?
"I don't care what you think of me, I don't care what sacrifices are made, I just make the right choice. At least you are saved, right?"
Amandine was just used to saying a few coquettish words, but after hearing Lumian's reply, she asked with interest:
"In other words, in order to help important people, you can sacrifice a lot and make the right choice?
"If, I mean if, I was inspired by the devil and desperately need to vent, otherwise I will become a monster, will you sacrifice yourself to help me?"
Lumian laughed and said:
"Do you have any 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 boring..." Amandine muttered softly.
Camus saw this and sighed secretly, feeling that he had been separated from the imaginary beauty.
Lumian looked at Robert again and said to Amandine:
"Wake him up and communicate with him. I want to ask him for a favor."
If you don't want to, there is Camus here who specializes in torture.
"Okay." Amandine responded crisply, quickly waking Robert up and telling her fiancé the current situation.
She consciously did not mention that Father Cali had been killed, creating the illusion that the "ghost" might have fled the area.
"If I help, you will let me go?" Robert struggled to stand up.
Lumian pointed at Camus and Rhea:
"You don't believe me or the patrol team?"
Robert was silent for a few seconds and said:
"What's the rush?"
Lumian laughed:
"Go and do something inside the house in Tehuanaco."
…………
Brio Hotel, second floor.
Men in dark gray formal suits and women in feather hats all heard the slight chewing sound coming from deep in the corridor. This was completely different from the shouts, screams, moans, etc. that echoed in the hotel, as if it shouldn't happen.
"Dream Festival".
Suddenly, the chewing sound stopped.
Almost at the same time, the man in a dark gray formal suit bounced up as if someone had stabbed a red-hot iron rod into his waist.
His expression was extremely tense, with sweat pouring from his forehead as he ran towards the first floor, finishing the stairs in the blink of an eye.
He ran all the way out of the Briou Hotel and reached the intersection, then stopped, with a look of fear and fear on his face.
"What's wrong?" A woman in a light-colored dress suddenly appeared next to the man, and asked half confused and half solemnly.
The man in a dark gray formal suit gasped:
"Hoo, ho, ho, don't you feel it? That horrible malice!
"My heart was ripped out, my tongue was torn out, and my brain was turned into soup."
