The dense fog at high altitude blocked most of the light, leaving the entire Dream Ruins in dusk-like darkness.

Lumian stood up, looking at the "Mountain Peak" of Blood-Colored, while moving his hands and feet to examine his own condition.

Compared with "Hunter", "Provocateur" has slight improvements in strength, reaction, speed and agility, but not much.

Lumian thinks Change mainly has three:

First, his body is stronger and his recovery ability seems to be much stronger;

Second, his spirituality has grown to a certain extent. For example, he could only maintain the possessed state for three minutes, but now it can be increased to four minutes;

The third is to obtain Beyond Ability named "Provocation".

It can not only bring about permanent state changes, but also must be actively stimulated to produce the desired effect.

The former refers to the qualitative change in Lumian's insight ability, which is far superior to that of Ordinary Person. It can effectively detect which languages, behaviors and things the target is more sensitive to, and in which aspects it is easier to be irritated.

Once "Provocation" is actively used, it will be combined with abusive language and humiliating behavior, causing the target who can communicate to lose Rationality.

The more targeted the insulting language and humiliating behavior, the more effective "Provocation" will be, but even just "Dog Shit" can make people angry to a certain extent.

For those who cannot communicate, "Provocation" will make Lumian exude a feeling that they hate.

This ability is very Attunement with the traps and ambushes that "Hunter" is good at, but for the current Lumian, its actual significance is not as great as he expected.

He doesn't have time to do more Hunting, he just wants to further explore the "City Wall" area around Blood-Colored "Mountain Peak" and unlock the secret of Dream Ruins.

Comparatively speaking, the improvement of his spirituality and physical strength made him more happy. At least he could go deeper into the twilight zone that would make people Slumber Past.

Taking advantage of the improvement brought by "Potion", Lumian raised his hands and pinched his temples.

This time, he started "Spirit Vision" very smoothly.

He finally has the simple action of switching "Spirit Vision" on and off.

Without any delay, after calming down his mental state, Lumian changed his clothes and brought "Fallen Mercury" and Iron-Black Axe and the cloth bag containing cheese biscuits, put Hunting Rifle on their backs, and walked out of the two-story semi-grounded building. In the faint Gray Fog that filled the area, they passed through Wilderness and entered Ruins.

He followed a familiar route, bypassing areas where Monster might be present, and moved forward step by step.

After going deep into the place where Three-Faced Monster was encountered before, Lumian started dancing, semi-stimulating Black Thorn Symbol.

Relying on this "talisman", he Transmigration was in an increasingly dangerous environment and scared away several terrifying Monster.

Finally, he came to the wall Thorns "City Wall" made up of various houses Aggregation.

After thinking for a few seconds, Lumian chose the direction.

He was going to go to the area that seemed to be enveloped by Evernight and made him want to sleep as soon as he entered.

His intuition told him that there was a high probability that there was something very important behind the high wall made of Distortion trees, but the place that seemed like the night was coming was more likely to hide Dream Ruins's secrets.

After all, "night", "Slumber" and "Dream" are often associated with Vocabulary.

After a while, Lumian jumped Sacrificial Dance again and arrived at the place that was obviously much dimmer than the surroundings.

He exhaled slowly and stepped in firmly.

Almost instantly, Lumian seemed to have gone from a foggy day to a cloudy evening, with only the outlines of many things around.

He held "Fallen Mercury" and yawned as he walked.

"Can't sleep, can't sleep!" Lumian forced support and continued to move forward.

On the way, he did not forget to observe the messy rooms on "City Wall", but failed to find anything hiding the secret of Dream Ruins.

As for Gold Coin and other things, he can no longer take care of them now.

After walking dozens of meters and getting deep into this place, Lumian relied on perseverance to open his eyes, and a strong sense of sleep filled his mind.

He thought for a while and decided to exit, first exploring behind the wooden wall, and then entering this sleepy area from another direction.

That would likely help him explore places that are currently out of reach.

Lumian turned around and took a few steps back, but the sleepiness did not subside, but became more serious as time went by.

Finally, he couldn't hold it any longer, closed his eyes, and slowly fell down.

His vision was dark again.

Lumian felt a sudden sharp pain in his abdomen, which made him curl up and opened his eyes.

The first thing that caught his eyes was the splendid murals and arc-shaped vaults, then the serious-looking face of Parish Priest with a slightly hooked nose, and the right fist of Pons·Béné with a ferocious smile.

I was caught Church coming? Lumian is not unfamiliar with the scene above at all, and instinctively observed the surroundings.

He saw Raymond's father Pierre Clegg, saw Guillaume Lizzie, the father of Ava, saw his neighbor Louis Bedeke, and saw almost all the villagers.

He also saw that Altar had changed beyond recognition. What was placed there was no longer various Sunflower, but Lilac, Tulip and other things that symbolized That One Hidden Being.

The Sun Sacred Emblem behind Altar disappeared somewhere, and it was replaced by the abnormal Distortion Thorn Ring that seemed to have black liquid flowing.

As soon as he saw this familiar symbol, Lumian felt a little dizzy and his chest felt slightly warm.

He knew very well that this was a manifestation of Corruption being slightly stimulated within the body but failing to penetrate the blue-black symbol.

Parish Priest They directly changed Church into That One Hidden Being's Altar? Saint Sies was really wronged...Lumian suspected that Valentine would go berserk on the spot if he saw this scene.

Being firmly tied, he looked around hard and found that the murals depicting Stained Glass and "Eternal Blazing Sun" greatness and Saint Sies's preaching behavior were unaffected and still existed.

It seems that the renovation was done in a hurry... Lumian probably figured out the situation of Church.

At this time, the villagers were very quiet, as quiet as a Wax Figures.

Parish Priest observed Lumian's performance for a while, turned his head and said to Pons·Béné, "How can you keep him asleep?

"As soon as you bring Church back, you should wake him up, no matter what!"

"I understand." Pons·Béné looked at Parish Priest with unusually humble eyes, as if this was his Ruler Deity that he believed in.

Lumian leaned against a pillar, looked up at Guillaume·Béné, and asked, "Where is Aurora?"

Parish Priest smiled and said, "You'll find out later."

"What about Three Foreigners?" Lumian's thoughts were spinning, thinking about ways to get out of trouble, and looking for topics.

Guillaume·Béné looked outside Stained Glass and said with a relaxed expression, "They escaped and should have arrived at the nearest High Mountain Pasture by now.

"However, don't expect them to come to rescue you and Aurora tonight. Based on my understanding of the authorities, they will choose to delay anything, take a look, and wait until the situation is determined before taking action. Sometimes, they would rather not do it than make a mistake. This is how I was delayed by them for more than ten years of my life."

Lumian has to admit that what Parish Priest said makes sense, but this is definitely not the reason why Ryan and the others are waiting.

He knew that without being sure what the Evil God believers wanted to do by taking him and Aurora away, Ryan and others would not take drastic actions for the time being, such as leaving Cordou Village The way touched Loop, they still want to wait for the arrival of Twelfth Night to see what exactly caused the problem here, so as to lay a solid foundation for getting out of the predicament in the future.

Seeing that Lumian was silent, Parish Priest smiled even more obviously.

He said in a notification tone, "I plan to finish Ritual tonight."

Ah? Lumian is a little confused.

Guillaume·Béné was in a good mood and patiently explained, "I am going to move Ritual on April 9th to tonight, so Three Foreigners will have no chance to cause trouble."

What? Twelfth Night Can we advance in advance? Lumian was surprised, stunned and inexplicably frightened, so much so that he was speechless.

At this time, Parish Priest Guillaume·Béné turned to Pons·Béné and said, "Before sending him to Altar, you must watch him and not let him sleep. I allow you to use any method, as long as you don't kill him."

Pons·Béné asked expectantly, "What will happen if you die?"

"We will die together!" Parish Priest glared at this brainless brother.

Send me to Altar, and turn on that Ritual again? Can the green and black symbol on my body work again? Lumian listened to the conversation of brother Béné, and felt a little calmer.

Parish Priest turned his gaze back, looked at Lumian's face, leaned down and said, "Don't worry, you are not a container, we have better choices."

A better choice? Lumian was startled and followed Parish Priest's moving gaze to the original position of Altar.

Aurora appeared there at some unknown time. She had changed into a simple white Robe, Golden's hair was hanging down without any modification, and the light blue Eyes Cavern was godless.

"Aurora!" Lumian shouted.

Aurora is like Statues, no response.

Parish Priest smiled and nodded:

"Yes, your Older Sister is a better container.

"Your role in Ritual is to help us move the date forward so we no longer have to wait for that specific moment. We no longer have to wait for Change of Zodiac."

Lumian felt scared and confused when he heard:

Why can https://m•hetushu. com•com help you advance Ritual of Twelfth Night?

Parish Priest leaned down again, looked into his eyes, and smiled expectantly, "Because most of the Gift we pray for are in your body."

What? How did he know? Lumian's pupils dilated instantly, wanting to see Guillaume·Béné's face more clearly.

Parish Priest Guillaume·Béné moved his head forward, close to Lumian's ear, and laughed softly, "You don't think that only you and Pualis can retain memories in Loop, do you?"
