Normally, Benjamin would have speculated on the church's plans and guessed what they would do next. But at this moment, how could he have time to think so much
He summoned the healing water balloons one by one and slapped them on the fallen people. Benjamin tried to save the suffering people in this way, but he found that it seemed to be of no avail.
Healing water balloons can slightly relieve their pain, but it can't prevent their fate of having their brains cooked.
But Benjamin knew very well that these people must not die.
Therefore, while he kept releasing healing water balls to buy time, he turned his head and looked at the guy bathed in the holy light again.
"Why, you, it's okay." The guy was like a repeater, still repeating this sentence, as if the strange ritual just now had deprived him of his consciousness.
Benjamin took a deep breath and walked towards him.
It seems that apart from this golden halo, this guy has no other attack methods for the time being. Although I don’t know why I am not affected at all, but... As long as I deal with this exhibitionist, I should be able to save others, right
Therefore, under the pressure of that spiritual power, he gradually approached the priest in the holy light.
"You, sinner, are separated."
The priest's glowing eyes stared at him, and then, the golden halo gathered towards Benjamin like water waves. At that moment, Benjamin felt a sudden increase in pressure, and he began to feel a faint pain in his head.
But... Hearing the wails coming from behind, he couldn't retreat.
When he was only a few steps away from the priest, the pressure suddenly increased to an unbearable level. He tried to keep walking forward, but the joints in his body even made a tooth-aching sound, and his whole body ached.
Therefore, he took a deep breath and said in his heart: "Enable the state of nothingness."
The system lazily agreed.
At that moment, Benjamin took out a dagger and was ready to charge. However, just as he entered the state of nothingness, he felt as if the pressure around him had turned into a substantial existence, so crowded that he could not even move.
Benjamin was shocked.
how so
It was as if he was sealed in some kind of cement, unable to breathe, unable to even blink his eyes. Fortunately, the system saw that the situation was not good and quickly ended the void state, otherwise Benjamin would probably suffocate directly inside.
"Fuck..."
As soon as he escaped from the absolute confinement, Benjamin took a few deep breaths and took a few steps back before he gradually recovered.
… What happened just now
Benjamin didn't understand why once he entered the state of nothingness, he felt like he was stuck in a concrete wall and couldn't even move. Isn’t the state of nothingness entering some other world? Why are you still being disturbed
He looked again at the priest. And the way the priest looked at him seemed a little... doubtful
It seemed like he was also confused about what had just happened.
"What are you doing? Is it really the state of nothingness you activated?" Benjamin asked in his heart.
"Never mind my business, I'm just following your orders." The system replied confidently, "These golden halos are originally rooted in that void world. Here they are formless and insubstantial. There they are. It has become an entity, so it’s normal to be blocked.”
Hearing this, Benjamin became even more angry.
"Then why didn't you say anything just now?"
"I only realized this when you entered the state of nothingness. I didn't know it just now. How should I put it?"
“…”
Benjamin shook his head, and in reality could only slowly retreat. The pressure around the priest was so great that it even formed a wall, and now that the state of nothingness had just been restrained, it was impossible for him to contact that guy.
… Has it been solved
"Ben, Benjamin... Master... help me..."
People all over the ground were still wailing, but the sound was much weaker than at the beginning. Benjamin was also anxious when he saw it, so he could only keep summoning healing water balloons to let them endure the pain for a while longer.
But what can he do with the time he has bought
Benjamin looked at the figure in the holy light and couldn't help clenching his fists.
Where did the church get this trick
To this day, he still can't figure out how to break this situation. He couldn't hurt the priest, nor could he save the fallen. Celebrities from all walks of life died at the opening ceremony together with more than two thousand students. He was the only one left alive... How will the world view him
As long as the church arranges it a little, he will become a street rat that everyone shouts about and fall directly from the clouds into the abyss.
"Teacher Benjamin... help me..."
"I, I don't want to die yet..."
Those familiar faces were twisting in pain on the floor of the auditorium at this moment. The King, Master Finch, Wallis, the students who entered the academy with dreams... Benjamin felt an unprecedented despair.
no! He couldn't let these people die in front of him!
Benjamin closed his eyes hard, trying to calm down, thinking about how to solve the situation in front of him.
What hurt them was the golden halo, and as the system said, the entity of the golden halo existed in the nihilistic "inner world". So, could he keep these halos out
Thinking of this, Benjamin immediately summoned a water curtain to wrap everyone in it, seeming to cut off the connection between the inside and the outside world like activating a forbidden magic water balloon.
Unfortunately, nothing happened.
"What are you thinking? The forbidden water ball can only cut off elements, but these things are not elements." The system said in Benjamin's mind.
"Then what are they? Tell me!" Benjamin was impatient and shouted directly in reality.
"Calm down. I still think...this thing is mental power, but it has been condensed into substance, so it is difficult for people to identify it." The system continued, "Use high-pressure mental power to directly cook people's brains. This is probably how it attacks. I think you should think about why you are the only one who can survive."
Benjamin was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses.
Yes, he was not affected by these golden halos. Even the priest was a little surprised. This shows that the other party expected that he should also be knocked down.
Why wasn't he brought down
For a moment, Benjamin's mind was very messy, and all kinds of thoughts were tangled together, like tangled headphone cords. The more he unraveled, the more anxious he became, not to mention that he had to maintain a large amount of therapeutic water balloons at the same time.
hateful…
"Do you know anything else? Tell me everything!" He yelled in his heart.
The system replied: "I can only use this body from another world to find some clues from my intuition. I don't know how to deal with these things."
Damn...it's a bunch of nonsense and useless.
Benjamin was going crazy.
Why on earth was he the only one who survived
"There's something on you that shouldn't be there." Suddenly, the priest in the holy light spoke again, and mechanical words reached Benjamin's ears.
Benjamin looked up in confusion.
Is there something about him that shouldn't be there
Is it a system? Did the system protect him from the influence of the golden halo
But... what to do? He couldn't bring the system into reality and put it into the minds of thousands of people present. If it is really the function of the system, it will not help the current situation at all.
He could only look for another answer.
… etc.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
Besides the system, there seems to be another thing about him that he shouldn't have.
