Chapter 543 Let me see
“There is no free use of wonders in the world. Everything has a price. Even if you find the right way, as long as you still need the light of miracles, the sacrifice must be It’s indispensable, it’s just a difference.”
“I’ve heard about some of your abilities. It’s actually best to leave this task to you, which can save you a lot of trouble. But since you guys. If you take the initiative to request, the task of collecting sacrifices will be left to you. I hope you can complete it properly. This is related to the effect of using the rare objects and the price we have to pay. Therefore, everything is left to you. We will do our best. ”
Thinking of Ms. Nightingale's instructions, Lynch and the others walked out of the Dark Night Cathedral. As soon as they walked out, a piercing scream came from a distance.
"Woo~~"
Under the sun, the huge steam locomotive looked like a ferocious monster, dragging the long carriage all the way, and the billowing smoke roared away along with the trembling of the earth.
The noisy crowds on the street had long been accustomed to it and continued the previous celebrations. However, Lynch, who had just walked out of the dark night church, looked thoughtfully at the train dragging the billowing smoke and did not move for a long time.
“What’s wrong?” Natalie poked Lynch on the back, “Is there something wrong with that train?”
“There’s nothing wrong with the train, I’m the one with the problem. ”
Lynch frowned and pondered for a moment, then whispered in the ears of the two ladies.
"Yes, yes, but is it necessary?" Miss Diana asked.
"There is a saying in the mythical age of the First Age, 'Be careful enough to ensure that the ship will not capsize for ten thousand years.' I think it makes sense. Even if it is just a wasted trip in the end, it is just a wasted trip. It’s better to go there than to be underprepared.”
"Okay, what you said makes sense. I'll deal with it in a moment." The countess nodded, "But now go and prepare the sacrifice. The lady is still waiting. This cannot be delayed."
Lin Qi nodded and tightened the big bag in his hand.
The bag contains twenty-four glass bottles, which are the bottles inside the Miracle Light. The clean water inside has been emptied, and then Lynch and the three took them out of the heavily guarded safe house. .
There is no need to worry about the safety of the bottle. The main body of the Miracle Light is a medicine box. The bottle is only a part of the medicine box. On the one hand, it has the same indestructibility as the main body of the medicine box. If anyone can easily destroy it, It's an advent-level rare item, so it's not a problem to casually destroy the territory of the Night Goddess. On the other hand, the bottle belongs to the medicine box. If it is farther away or separated for a longer time, it will automatically return to the inside of the medicine box. There is no use in snatching it away. As long as the main body is still in the safe house, there will be no problem.
The three of them took out the glass bottles at this time, just to prepare the sacrifices.
Although Lynch is soft-hearted, he is not overflowing with the Virgin's heart. Since sacrifice is inevitable and there are people who are willing to dedicate themselves, he is also willing to respect their choices.
Nightingale had already selected the candidates to be sacrifices when she left. When Lynch and the others returned to the Church of the Passion, twenty-four Sisters of the Passion had been waiting in a side hall of the church for a long time. I have met some of them several times, including several ladies who had previously trained them to cultivate the Human Face Fruit.
No one hesitated or shied away. A group of women sat together calmly and looked at Lin Qi who walked in.
"I'm sorry, ladies." Lynch walked into the side hall with his head lowered as if full of guilt, with a hint of unbearability in his deep voice, "I think you all already know the purpose of our visit. I'm sorry, but there is no other way to go now. I can only ask you... I'm sorry."
Some people showed nervous expressions, but soon regained their composure. A group of women sat there calmly and looked at Lynch, who had his head lowered. Some people said lightly:
"No need to do this, we have already done it." It’s our own choice, we don’t blame you.”
Lin Qi took a deep breath, raised his head with determination, and said in a deep voice: “Since you already have it. If you have this awareness, then please do it yourself and take out your... Hey, hey, what are you doing? "
Before Lynch could finish speaking, he was taken aside by Officer Natalie, and Miss Diana had already stood in his position, glared at him, and then said to the nuns: "I'm sorry, fellow believers, no need to Pay attention to this... Anyway, we need everyone's arterial blood, just one bottle for each person." He opened the bag and revealed the glass bottle inside.
Ugh.
Twenty-four eyes instantly turned to Lin Qi's face. If the knife-like eyes were not a metaphor, there should have been hundreds of blood holes on his body.
"Ahem, calm down, calm down. I see such a good atmosphere, it would be a pity not to make a joke."
Lynch bravely protected the police officer in front of him. Blocking the girls' vicious sight, seeing that it didn't seem to have much effect, he smiled and said:
"Okay, okay, I apologize, I apologize. Anyway, please contribute a portion of your arterial blood. Everyone should know what this means."
Yes, everyone knows.
In the field of occultism, blood often has extremely strong mysterious properties and is inseparable from concepts such as life and soul. Using blood as a medium, a strong connection can be established between the individual and the target.
Therefore, when the blood is put into the glass bottle, the sacrifice is no longer the blood, but the twenty-four nuns who provide the blood, and everything subsequently offered by the sacrifice becomes the harvest of the miraculous light.
In fact, this was originally the traditional method for Miracle Light to determine the sacrifice. Those who self-sacrifice have experienced this step, so that the beauty they show later will become the nourishment of Miracle Light and inspire Its full functionality.
However, Ms. Nightingale has repeatedly emphasized that becoming a sacrifice this time will not put their lives in danger, because there is room for sharing without being fully activated, unlike Originally, every sacrifice was certain to die. The more sacrifices were shared, the less the price everyone paid, and everyone could survive.
Well, that's the theory.
So, with the intention of killing Lynch, the nuns skillfully drew out their own blood and poured it into the empty glass bottle.
The scene where the sewage turned into clean water as imagined by the three people did not repeat itself. After the blood was introduced into the bottle, it seemed to be pulled by some force and slowly rotated clockwise in the bottle. Lynch looked at the center of the vortex, There seemed to be an extremely strange power inside, as if it was trying to suck his soul in.
Shaking his head and leaving the illusion behind, Lynch stared closely at the glass bottle. His inspiration had been stimulated to the maximum. Through the perspective of perception, everything began to distort. The twenty-four glass bottles had turned into a ball. The hazy and distorted light and shadow seemed to be entangled with unobservable thin lines, extending all the way to the invisible end.
Phew, Ms. Nightingale was right, it was indeed the case.
Lin Qi let out a long sigh. This was exactly the strange object he observed through inspiration. It was a strange image that would drive an ordinary person crazy. Now he had no trouble at all, but was full of expectations.
Because he needs to observe whether the strange objects are activated in this state, and finally decide how many people among the twenty-four people will participate in the sacrifice. If there are too many people, it is just a waste, but if the number of people is too small and cannot be divided, all the sacrifices may Everyone will pay a heavy price. Nightingale originally planned to have more. Although too much is not a good thing, it is at least better than not enough. But now someone comes to her door on her own initiative, and the old woman can only reluctantly satisfy him. request.
Tsk, I really asked for trouble.
Lin Qi pouted, calmed down, stretched out his fingers and gently touched the hazy and twisted light and shadow.
let me see.
