After hearing the tinkling sound, feeling her shoulder becoming unusually cold, and unable to find the source of the danger, Leah's first reaction was to use the "paper man substitute".
Her body quickly shrank and thinned, turning into a well-cut paper figure.
The paper figure darkened rapidly, and instantly turned yellow and brittle, as if it had been there for ten or twenty years.
Silently, the aging pale yellow paper man disintegrated into countless tiny pieces.
Leah's figure reappeared at the stairs, still holding the same kerosene lamp in her hand, but the next second, she felt her shoulders getting cold again.
As her thoughts raced, she raised her right hand and pinched the top of her nose.
She turned on her "spiritual vision" and looked towards the glass window in the opposite room.
Against the backdrop of the night outside and illuminated by the dim light of the kerosene lamp, the glass of the bathroom was almost like a mirror, reflecting Leah's upper body.
There was a transparent and blurry baby sitting on each side of his shoulders!
The two babies had round and fleshy faces, pale and bluish skin, and extremely distorted expressions.
At this time, they all leaned down and put their mouths to Leah's neck, as if they were sucking something.
Seeing this, Leah was not frightened but relieved.
It is much better to discover the source of an anomaly than to remain completely unknown.
In this way, she can identify the nature of the problem and make targeted choices.
Just like now!
Leah pulled out the exquisite silver pistol, aimed at the transparent and terrifying baby on her left shoulder and pulled the trigger.
boom!
A golden bullet flew out of the muzzle, surrounded by illusory flames.
The baby suddenly cried "wa wa wa" and flew out of Leah's arms with golden flames burning it.
boom!
Leah fired another bullet into the upper part of the other arm.
The fiercely burning baby ghost cried and followed its companion to the end of the corridor.
A female figure appeared there, with blue eyes, soft features, a round face, and loose black hair. She was the mistress of the local detective, the shepherd Pierre, Berry's sister, Sybil Berry.
Her skin was covered with a layer of blue, and there was something that looked like a tumor on both sides of her neck.
The two transparent and blurry babies flew back to her shoulders and each began sucking on the corresponding "tumor" and were breastfed.
As they sucked, the golden flames that ignited them gradually went out.
However, Leah would not sit idly by and watch. She aimed at Sybil Berry and pulled the trigger.
With a bang, the golden bullet passed through, only a few meters away, and hit Sybil's head accurately.
For some reason, Sybil didn't try to dodge, and a bloody hole appeared on her forehead in an instant.
Inside the cave, milky white and blood red intertwined, and the illusory golden flames quickly devoured them.
However, Sybil fell down and lost all signs of life, and the two transparent babies with blue faces disappeared while crying.
Is this the solution? Liya couldn't believe it.
The little silver bells on her veil and boots were still jingling, even more violently than before!
In a flash, Leah felt something cold and eerie growing rapidly inside her body.
She quickly looked towards the bathroom and the glass window there, and saw that the skin on her face had turned blue without her noticing.
The next second, her body degenerated into a paper figure.
The paper figure crumpled into a ball and fell heavily to the floor.
Leah's figure appeared in the bathroom, but the feeling that something cold was growing inside her did not disappear.
Almost at the same time, a soft voice rang in her ears: "I have signed a contract with a strange spiritual creature, and I can borrow a special quality from it. No matter who kills me, I can be reborn in his body and occupy his body."
"You are very beautiful, I like you very much, Hondou Kamura should like you too..."
Hearing Sybil's words, Leah ran out of the bathroom with her silver-white pistol and kerosene lamp without thinking.
He was going to find Valentine. Exorcism was one of the things the "Sun" realm was best at and they were very restrained against things like that!
Valentine was trapped in the area near the balcony, which was surrounded by black, thorny vines hanging from the roof and full of bloody, smelly giant flowers.
Valentine half opened his arms and allowed golden flames to emerge from nowhere, burning the monsters around him.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the air. He was wearing a white robe with gold thread, had short black hair, serious blue eyes, and a slightly hooked nose. It was Guillaume Bennet, the parish priest of Cordu village.
He ended his invisibility and floated in the air. Looking at Valentine below, he whispered in ancient Hermetic language: "Valentine!"
The sound was accompanied by a dark light that seemed to flicker inside the parish priest's robe.
This is the ability that Guillaume Bene acquired from a certain spiritual creature by using the special ability of "the one who has been contracted": by calling out the target's real name, he can influence his spiritual body and cause him to experience reactions such as dizziness.
In this process, the closer the language used is to nature and the closer it is to the world of extinction, the more you understand the real situation of the target, and the better the effect.
If one's own spirit is much stronger than the opponent's, one can even directly extract the enemy's spirit, making him completely dazed and unable to resist.
Hearing the priest's call, Valentine's mind suddenly froze, and he felt dizzy and unable to think for a while.
However, he quickly controlled this state and regained consciousness.
He has never reported his full name since entering the village of Cordu, so the ability of the parish priest Guillaume Bennet will definitely not have much effect.
Guillaume Bennet never thought that he could succeed. Before Valentine completely got rid of the dizziness, he threw out a human bone that he had prepared in advance.
As the bone fell to the ground, the parish priest in mid-air quickly recited in Hermetic language: "Can't see, can't hear, can't wake up."
This is a curse, and it is also the ability that Guillaume Bene obtained through the contract: throwing out bones that symbolize the dead, making the target blind, deaf, and unable to open their eyes like a dead person.
Valentine was no longer sleeping, so he naturally wouldn't be unable to wake up. However, the dizziness that had not yet completely disappeared had obviously worsened, so that his vision was blurred, his ears were buzzing, he could not see anything more than three meters away, and could not hear sounds outside of that range.
Seizing this opportunity, the parish priest stretched out his right palm. His blue eyes suddenly became lighter and more transparent as if they were virtual.
One after another, complex mercury-colored symbols appeared around Valentine, as if they were formed by small rivers entwined around themselves. They formed a vast, illusory river with rippling waves.
There are countless tributaries in the lower reaches of this long river, and as the main trunk advances, most of them are swallowed up, leaving only one tributary.
Guillaume Bennet observed for a few seconds, and while Valentine was still trapped in the curse of hearing, seeing, and sensing loss, he reached out to grab one of the mercury symbols.
He wanted to amplify the corresponding tributaries and make Valentine's fate of being paralyzed by the abyss magic flowers around him become a reality.
The shadow on the side raised an axe and chopped at Ryan, but the sharp warrior dodged in time and dropped the kerosene lamp he had been holding.
His body was quickly covered with silver-white full-body armor, and in his hand there appeared a giant sword condensed from light.
Ding ding ding!
Ryan chopped continuously, chopped the shadow back into the wall, and covered the surroundings with dots of morning light.
Remove the shadows from this area.
The arms that were about to stretch out from behind the shadows, some dark, some pale, some evil, and some terrifying, were suddenly pushed far away, making it difficult for them to grab Ryan's body.
With a sound, the shadow completely retracted into the wall and returned to normal.
It then disappeared in the morning light.
The remaining shadow not far away grew larger, and out walked the shepherd Pierre Berry, wearing a long coat and a hood.
He leaned down slightly, holding the axe, and rushed towards Ryan.
With every step he took, a certain power accumulated in his body was released. After a few steps, although Pierre Berry did not grow taller, he seemed to have the posture and strength of a giant.
Ryan opposite him was also much bigger. He held the "Sword of Dawn" in both hands and slashed at the enemy who was running like a bison.
when!
The giant sword and the axe collided with each other, sparking a series of sparks.
Pierre Berry and Ryan retreated at the same time, each taking a few steps to steady themselves, each taking only one step.
Ryan pushed his back foot and took advantage of the opportunity when Pierre Berry had not yet stood firm, and suddenly pounced over and chopped towards him.
At this moment, Pierre Berry opened his mouth, and his tongue strangely turned into a strange chameleon, with its head sandwiched between its legs and one of its front legs stuffed into its mouth.
The sight of the chameleon caused Ryan to feel such intense pain in his head that the attack he attempted was incomplete.
Headache curse!
Shepherd Pierre Berry obtained this ability through a contract with a strange spirit who loved to study various curses during his lifetime.
Taking advantage of Ryan's headache, he let the retreating shadow come back and launched a violent attack on the opponent.
With the sound of clang, Ryan was struck back continuously.
As the noise came from outside, Lumian turned over and sat up, and instinctively said to Aurore beside him: "There's something unusual!" Go out and meet Ryan and the others!
This was a reason Ryan told the two siblings over and over again.
When you encounter an attack, try to stay close to each other. A team that cooperates with each other is far better than five people fighting alone!
"Okay!" Auror left the bed, reached for the secret pocket of her dress, and ran to the door.
As Lumian approached the open door, he suddenly saw a person.
That was the assistant parish priest, Michel Garrigu, wearing a white robe with gold thread.
The handsome young man with curly hair smiled at Lumian with empty eyes and said, "Do you want to pray?"
With a "puff", Lumian pulled out the axe and hit Michelle's neck.
Michel's head tilted and a lot of blood flowed out. He looked at Lumian sideways and asked with a bright smile as if nothing had happened: "Do you want to pray?"
Lumian was about to raise the axe to chop again and break the guy's neck when he suddenly had a strong premonition of danger. Relying on the terrifying flexibility of "Dancer", he turned his body suddenly and chopped the axe behind him.
The next second, his gaze froze.
He saw Aurore.
Aurore's light blue eyes had become unusually empty at some point, and she was throwing the powder made from some kind of tree in her hand at Lumian.
Looking at his sister's familiar face, Lumian's axe moved slower and slower until it stopped.
He even forgot to dodge as a crackling sound broke out and a ball of silver-white lightning fell on Lumian's head.
He fainted and his vision went dark.
