The aura of death lingered around Lanny, gradually spreading and spreading, almost covering up the light in the sky.
The whole place was in complete silence. Cesare filmed this scene with such grandeur that it shocked everyone in the theater!
At this moment, Jiang Se's beauty was different from the gentle northern beauty walking in the rain in "Beijing Events". She conquered the audience with her sharp domineering aura.
Cesare found another way to show off her beauty. Her unique Chinese eyes, with the help of makeup, now brought magical power. When her gaze swept over everyone, they made people feel the fear of being dominated by death.
Andre's spell hit her. She lowered her head to look at her feet. The lingering black mist wrapped her up. Tears were gathering in the corners of her eyes. The thick sorrow turned into a magical black like thick ink and disappeared in her eyes.
The audience in the theater sighed softly when they saw this scene. Their minds were captured by the plot and they felt deep sympathy for Lanny's experience.
But when she raised her head the next moment, her eyes caught sight of Andre's figure, which turned into hatred that surrounded her. The dark energy on her body became even stronger. She flapped her wings and flew towards Andre, but as soon as she moved, she was hit by Andre's spell. She swayed for a while before she stabilized her body.
When the believers below saw this scene, they came back to their senses:
"This is a demon, this is a demon!"
The knights of the temple quickly surrounded Andre, drew the swords at their waists, and pointed them in the direction of Jiang Se.
The priest prayed to the gods, asking for their protection.
Andre's previous image of driving away the "devil" was deeply rooted in people's hearts. In addition, because of his actions of purifying the "heretics", the "devil" blood "hidden" in Lanny's body awakened. The believers had a strange fanaticism towards him and approached him fearlessly.
Lannie tried to move forward several times, but was blocked by the knight.
The hurricane created by her wings blew the statues in front of the square into pieces, and the huge falling stones forced the devout believers to dodge.
Amidst the loud rumbling sound, smoke and dust rose up, but an endless stream of people rushed over to stop her from getting close to Andre.
This battle scene took place in a flash, but Cesare captured it with great pleasure.
He is indeed the director who understands the audience's psychology best, and he made the battle in front of the square look magnificent.
The believers' inexplicable madness, the knight's absolute loyalty and the girl who became a 'devil' after being deceived, at this moment, combined to create an unparalleled charm.
The repeated extended shots fully and thoroughly show Lanny's madness at this moment, making people feel climax again and again!
She missed several times and was wounded instead. She stopped her suicidal behavior and looked at Andre deeply, as if cursing:
"I'll be back again!"
She left behind these words with endless implications, flapped her wings, and quickly disappeared in the air, leaving behind the believers and the people in the temple who were still in shock. Their high fighting spirit seemed to be overshadowed by Lanny's words.
Andre looked at Lannie's disappearing figure with a serious expression. He clenched his teeth, but the muscles on his cheeks were trembling slightly, showing that he was not calm inside.
The believers around him cheered for Lanny's defeat, but he narrowed his eyes slightly. In the camera, his shoulders were stiff, his Adam's apple rolled, but his chest was strangely flat, like a piece of wood without breath.
This scene is so gripping that it makes people unable to control their emotions.
After Lanny left, although the people achieved a temporary victory, her existence seemed to cast a shadow over the people of this world. The Knights were sent out in batches to search for traces of the "devil" and fight for the honor of the Holy See.
People increasingly believe in gods, pray for their blessings, and long for salvation.
That "prayer" event brought Andre's reputation to an unprecedented level. There was a strong call in the Vatican for him to be promoted to Pope. The Pope appointed him as his successor and passed the throne of Pope to Andre in the name of "divine right".
He got what he had always dreamed of: money, power, status and the ability to be admired.
But what frightened Andre was his body which could not be seen by others.
After he sacrificed Lanny and others in exchange for eternal life from the gods, his body stopped moving towards death, but he found that he could no longer breathe, no longer needed to enjoy delicious food, and no longer needed sleep. His time seemed to have stopped at the moment of sacrifice and became eternal.
However, this spell did not heal his cursed body. His lower body was still in the shape of a skeleton, and he had lost all perception of cold, heat, and pain. He became a useless man!
He could only sit on the high throne every day, and in order to hide his abnormality, he had to pretend to be calm.
He announced to the public that his body had been severely injured in the process of expelling heretics, and he had to rely on the support of knights and means of transportation to go in and out. No matter how exquisite the food was, he still could not taste it. The long life became a fear that brought him great torture.
Disaster befell the earth, and the existence of demons shrouded the court of God. When Lanny was tortured, Andre was also in dire straits.
Eternal life did not allow him to feel any pleasure. When the loss of sensation in the lower half of his body made it difficult for him to move, he had to hide his abnormality and force himself to act like a normal person. Power and status soon became one of his torments.
He began to miss the scenes in the small town. At that time, he was simple and poor, but he had no regrets.
He prayed devoutly every day, and his biggest trouble might be that he would have nothing to wear after his priest robe was washed.
But now, with the change in his power and status, his troubles increased day by day. He could not sleep at night, had food but could not eat it, could not get close to anyone, could not let others know his secrets, and no one could talk to him.
He had actively tried to change the situation at first, but Lanny's change frightened him. He was worried that if his prayers failed again, the situation would become even more difficult to control.
But human desires are difficult to curb. Once Pandora's box is opened, it will be difficult to control the eager ambition.
He used his power to secretly sacrifice the knights of the temple in an attempt to restore his body to its original state, but what made Andre despair was that he had no way to do it.
The power of 'God' can push him forward, can give him everything he doesn't have, but can never make things go back to the original state.
He sacrificed many knights of the temple, but all failed in the end. From being full of hope at the beginning to despair at the end, he felt disgusted with this 'eternal' life.
Andre tried to commit suicide, but it was as if his life no longer belonged to him after God "bestowed" him with the gift. He tried many methods, but none of them could end his life.
He tried to pray again, but he didn't know whether it was because after each sacrifice, God's demand for souls would become higher, or because his filthy soul was rejected by God, and he could no longer return to eternity.
During his many years in the temple, he searched through all the ancient books, looking for ways to break the "curse", but found nothing.
Finally, I learned from an old priest that "the person who tied the bell can untie it" and that the person who caused the incident will also be the one to end it.
Seeing this, everyone in the theater, including Shu Payen, was filled with emotion. Thinking of Andre's high-spirited appearance in his early years, and then thinking of his current situation, they couldn't help but sigh.
Lanny finally makes a comeback and brings a devastating blow to the temple.
Looking down from a high place, the camera can see the vast and broad earth. Human beings are as small as ants, but they are willing to die for their beliefs.
Under the swirling clouds, Pope Andrew led the army in person. The knights of the Holy See were majestic and determined to eradicate heresy. However, the irony was that the symbol of their divine authority had already been living a life worse than death.
The witch flapped her wings and descended from the sky, dispersing the haze and bringing a shadow that covered the sky and the sun.
Many people in the theater had seen this scene in the trailer of "God's Redemption", but when they actually saw it in the movie, the excitement it brought to people was far greater than in the short three-minute "fast food" trailer.
With the layers of story laid out in the early stages, Lanny's accident at this moment almost made even someone like Shu Payne lose control of himself.
"Finally, I see you again, Andre."
Compared to the last time she flew away from the central square of the temple many years ago, Lannie is now more powerful.
If the Lanny who appeared earlier was just showing her potential, then she is undoubtedly extremely dangerous at this moment.
Her image was gorgeous, and her aura was rising again and again. When Shu Payen thought that her anger at being "demonized" after being deceived earlier was the culmination of her "domineering" performance, Jiang Se at this time once again refreshed his view.
Her long hair fluttered in the biting wind and her eyes were full of mockery. This kind of indifference was much more deeply rooted in people's hearts than the hostility revealed on the outside.
Many years ago, she was a girl hiding under the statue of God, waiting for Andre to redeem her. She was once Andre's sacrifice and gift to God, weak and powerless.
But now, she is an invincible demon, hatred devours her heart and makes her invincible!
She held Andre in her hand, and the knight's sword could not leave any scratch on her.
She pinched Andre with her fingertips and flew him into the clouds. The people in the temple on earth were still trying to save His Majesty the Pope.
"Kill the devil, kill the devil..."
The knights and believers shouted slogans, and Andre's neck was strangled, but he was extremely calm.
Facing this 'devil' that everyone feared, he carefully studied her expression.
The black mist wrapped around her was like the ghost of a vengeful spirit. Her snow-white skin looked eerily pale against the black mist.
When he thought of Lannie, he thought of her huddled under the statue of the god, shivering and waiting for his rescue.
"You can't kill me."
He laughed and said, "This is God's 'gift'." When he said this, he meant something.
Her eyes were so black that they were almost blue, with an eerie hue. They were set in her pale but lusterless face like two dead pools, which made people shudder.
Her slender fingers grasped his throat tightly, but he seemed unaffected:
"I no longer need to breathe. I am immortal."
At this moment, Andre's words filled Lanny's eyes with hurricanes, as if a storm was coming and was about to drown him.
His calmness contrasted sharply with her raging anger.
When everyone in the theater was looking forward to the meeting between the victimized "devil" and the seemingly kind "priest", the huge irony was like a sharp sword, piercing into the heart of every viewer.
The victim looked angry and desperate, but the culprit who caused this tragedy had a smile on his face and looked calm.
"You know, I sacrificed you and gained eternal life." He stretched out his hand, closed his eyes and faced the wind. The wind blew through his gray and slightly curly hair, but he could not feel this gift from nature. His throat was strangled, but he was still talking to Lanny naturally.
Ordinary people live in fear of being dominated and controlled by the "devil", but he cannot sense her threat, and all this means nothing to him.
"Shut up!" Lanny raised her chin slightly and pinched him tighter. Under her bright red lips, her teeth were white and even. At this moment, her anger was mixed with hatred.
Her sharp scream sounded like a cry of pain from injury, and it made Andre laugh out loud.
"Can the 'devil' be afraid too?" When he said this, it sounded like a provocation, but Shu Penn could hear some envy in his expression. The scene of Donald and Jiang Se's rivalry broke out, bringing people an extremely refreshing sensory stimulation.
"Shut up!" she yelled again, "Shut up!"
It was Andre who made her like this, ruined her life, ruined everything she had.
"I will kill you." She whispered softly, not hiding her hatred.
"Death?" Andre reached out and grabbed her wrist: "Maybe that's what I need."
She really couldn't kill him, no matter what method she used, she couldn't kill him.
Andre was right. He used his innocent soul to exchange for "eternal life" from God. At this moment, Lannie's despair filled the entire cinema.
In a sense, both of them have the same ending: he is trapped in the curse of "eternal life", and she is trapped in hatred and is despised by people, and neither of them is able to escape.
She thought of the unforgettable spell, which brought great changes to her life. She was fed up with such a life. After finding that she could not kill Andre by ordinary means, she began to recite this curse: "Supreme Father..."
When Andre heard her recite this spell, he was stunned at first, and then he laughed out loud. He laughed so hard that if he had tears, he might have burst into tears.
"Many years ago, I learned a series of blessing spells for communicating with the gods from a Templar named Shilin. If you recite it, you can get anything you want..."
He started by talking about how he sacrificed Shireen to gain the strength and power he had always dreamed of, and mentioned how he saved Lani:
“… I am cursed, and it puts my life in jeopardy.” (To be continued)
