Leah also noticed that Michelle was not normal. She turned her head to look at Ryan, asking with her eyes whether she should knock him out directly.
At this time, Lumien spoke up and said to Michel: "Is the parish priest not here?"
Michel's eyes suddenly became warm: "The parish priest is resting, you can come to me for prayer." His face was full of pleading.
Lumian "hesitated" for a few seconds, then said reluctantly: "Okay"
Miguel looked excited and happy. He turned his head and said to everyone: "What's wrong with you? Coming to church to pray is what every believer should do. What is there to be afraid of?"
What he meant was that we all got out of the basement without being discovered, so there was nothing to worry about in the present.
As a believer of the Eternal Sun, it is normal to come to church to pray.
As for taking a shortcut through the side door, that was a minor issue that could be ignored. And what did it have to do with us if the parish priest and a few servants took too long a lunch break
Lumian knew that such an excuse could only fool ordinary people, but definitely not Benchang Shenpu. However, Benchang Shenpu would definitely pretend to be confused before obtaining the gift.
It is impossible to expose it unless Ryan and others make an attitude that they will report it immediately to the higher authorities and put an end to all abnormalities in Koldu Village.
As long as Leah and the others continued to wander around the village and chat with people everywhere, they looked like they had not gained enough intelligence under the church.
The parish priest would definitely be happy to maintain the status quo, and since the underground altar was destroyed by Ryan, it would probably take the gang some time to repair it.
Lumian estimated that the parish priest had been hoping to obtain a blessing in the past few days, and it would be possible at the earliest on the day before Te Deum.
By the time the Sidian Festival begins, no matter how abnormal something is discovered or suspected, "normality" becomes the biggest problem.
Hearing Lumian's words, the copy hall god Pu Miguel Garrigu nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Yes, yes, yes! No matter what you have done, as long as you pray sincerely and are willing to repent, God will forgive you."
"Really? What would happen if I told Eternal Lieyang Qianhuire that I had gone astray some time ago, believed in the evil god, and now want to return to the right path?" Lumian didn't believe it in his heart but looked very sincere on the surface, and walked towards the altar.
Miguel led the way in front with brisk steps, looking like he was about to fly.
Seeing such a fanatical and devout clergyman, Leah couldn't help but turn her head to glance at Valentine, only to see that her companion had a very complicated expression.
This should have been a state that Valentine was very pleased with, but he was also very clear that the copy hall god was obviously abnormal.
Leah took her eyes off Valentine and walked over to Lumian. She leaned close to his ear and whispered in a low voice:
"When you said those words just now, did you ever consider that half of the people present were not believers of the Eternal Blazing Sun?"
"You're not?" Lumian looked at Boran.
It wasn't that he was perceptive and understood Leah's hint, but among the five people present, excluding the abnormal vice-parish priest, Valentine was definitely one of the remaining four. Lumian barely counted himself. There was already a wilderness and the undead in the wilderness. He had to admit that Leah's association did make sense.
Arriving under the elm tree at the entrance of the village, Ryan looked around and said, "Let's not recruit that lady again. Even if she is not a helper, she will not be an enemy in breaking the cycle. We just need to pay attention to her movements and see if we can take advantage of the specific time point she mentioned."
Isn't it because he obviously can't win if he doesn't offer his intention? Lumian suppressed his eager mouth and asked Valentine instead.
"How many minutes left?"
He was worried that he would miss the time and his sister would trigger the loop and restart everything.
Valentine took out a gold-plated pocket watch, opened it, and took a look: "Ten minutes left."
"That's good." Lumian breathed a sigh of relief and waved to Ryan and the others. "I'm going to find Aurore. If you're all right, help find Sibyl Wenfu and Mori's whereabouts. Investigate who is behind the constellation changes. Good luck to everyone. If you have any results, you can come to my house to find me. Goodbye. My cabbages!"
This was exactly what Leah and the others were planning to do, so naturally no one had any objections.
After bidding farewell to the joint investigation team and walking towards the agreed edge of the village, Lumian fell into deep thought.
After completing the exploration under the church, he had a complete speculation about the sudden changes in the village of Korshe.
The cause of the cycle must be the parish priest and his gang. They have been secretly worshipping the evil god for at least half a year and have secretly sacrificed many locals and foreigners in the basement of the church. Then they raised their arms, crossed them in front of their chests, and slightly buried their heads and bodies.
Lumian was a little stunned. You said you are not a believer of the Eternal Sun. Liya felt his gaze and smiled: "The gods will not blame me for pretending to be a believer of other churches when carrying out the mission."
She pointed to the other side of her body with her mouth. Ryan from the Mechanical Heart also crossed his arms in front of his chest. He was very sincere.
It turns out that one can have a flexible moral bottom line when carrying out a mission. Lumian wanted to laugh at Leah and Ryan like this.
But everyone started praying, and he couldn't fall behind. After he got into position and closed his eyes, the assistant church god, Pumigelgaligu, picked up the holy book and solemnly read, "God said, 'Let there be light.' And there was light in the world!"
Listening to the familiar prayers from the gods in the temple he often visited, Lumian suddenly felt a little sad.
In the past, when he came to pray, he just followed the crowd and was never focused. He often looked around and whispered to himself. But now, he wished that everything could be back to the way it was before.
Even if it required him to offer the most sincere prayers, activities that he once disliked very much now made him miss them terribly. When Lumian and others left the Church of the Eternal Sun, Father Ben Chang and the servants had not woken up yet.
Ryan glanced in the direction of the castle and sighed: "That lady is much more powerful than I thought.
“How strong?” Lumian asked curiously.
Ryan thought for a moment and said, "It seems that I have touched the door to divinity, but it also seems that I have not."
It seemed like you said something but it also seemed like you said nothing. If he hadn't been asked to rely on Ryan and the others recently, Lumian would have already said what was in his heart.
However, based on the mystical and heretical knowledge, he could probably guess what Ryan meant by the gate of divinity!
Sequence 4! The demigod said, "I think the state of Lady Pualis when she appeared was a little strange. He had already told Liya and others about the legend of the other side world and Lady Night."
"I feel the same way." Leah said with a smile, "It's like a stitched monster that hasn't been stitched yet."
Ryan nodded and said, "We actually have some understanding of Madam Night. In the border area between Inlings and Feynaport Kingdom, she has appeared many times in the past few years. Some of them are called Madam Night, some are called Madam Molt, some call themselves the benevolent master and some call themselves the evil master. But so far we have not caught any of them, and we still lack a systematic understanding of them."
This was the first time she had heard of the other side of the world. As she walked towards the edge of the village square, Leah said, "I did associate something with the description of the other side of the world."
"What?" Lumian never thought it was shameful to ask.
Leah turned sideways and looked towards the south. In the Church of the Mother Earth in Fenerbator, there is a saying: "The kingdom of souls returns to the earth..."
As his soul returned to the earth, those words suddenly popped up in Lumian’s mind.
Liya took the lead gently, and Ling Cuishi smiled and whispered, "Cai En is from the Mechanical Heart, and I am from the Eighth Bureau. Neither of us belongs to the Church of the Eternal Sun."
Lumian had heard from his sister that the Mechanical Heart was equivalent to the Church of the Eternal Sun, which was the branch of the Church of Steam and Mechanics responsible for handling supernatural affairs.
The full name of the Eighth Bureau is the Eighth Bureau under the Security Committee of the Intis Intelligence Republic. It is the largest official organization of the Republic in the extraordinary field.
"I thought you were sent by the church?" he asked curiously as he found a chair and sat down.
Liya sat down next to him and said with a smile, "In recent years, many dangerous incidents involving supernatural beings have occurred in border areas of various countries, especially in places where jurisdiction is disputed. Therefore, we attach great importance to the letter of help from Koldu Village. After preliminary investigation and intelligence collection, it was confirmed that there was indeed a problem. The higher-ups decided to set up a joint investigation team to go to Koldu Village to find out the specific situation, only to provide the most reliable reference for subsequent processing. Who knew this..."
She suddenly couldn't continue and couldn't help shaking her head. The abnormalities and horrors here were really beyond her imagination.
Sometimes she felt that Valentine was right to report the whole story and ask for direct destruction of Cordu Village.
It's just that she doesn't want to die yet, so she has to suppress her professional instincts and inner morality.
At this time, the deputy temple god Pumigorgagogu picked up the scriptures placed on the altar and cast his eyes on the four people who were preparing to cast the proclamation.
Leah gained a lot of blessings in exchange. Before the Four Days Festival, she used the sheepskin to deal with the three extraordinary people brought by Erberi. Among them, Shenpu Bentang and Sibenei and others obtained blessings, and the former became a very powerful extraordinary person.
So they started with the Sidian Festival and began a big ceremony. At the final stage of the ceremony, the mysterious existence named destiny accepted large-scale sacrifices, preparing to complete something that the hall god Pu and others had sought.
But at this moment something unexpected happened and the ritual could not be completed. The power involving the past, present and future dissipated and brought about a cycle of time.
As for why the unexpected change occurred, Lumian remembered something the mysterious lady had said.
You were originally a person who was about to be severely polluted. Fortunately, the mark left by that great existence was triggered and the corresponding power descended upon you, sealing the source of pollution and creating a balance.
