Red Moon Returns

Lin Qi approached the platform a little nervously, feeling the heat wave hitting his face.

Twenty nuns of suffering were kneeling beside them, enduring the intense heat. Although it had only been ten minutes, they already looked a little haggard. Thinking of the more than twenty hours of torture, Lin Qi couldn't bear to watch them suffer.

The old woman glared at him angrily: "So you just looked away?"

"This is the most effective way." Lynch coughed a few times and stopped joking, "What will happen to them in the end? Will their relatives and friends leave them?"

The old woman shook her head lightly, "It's not about leaving them. The problem is not with others, but with themselves. In their future lives, they will always lose these beauties, and they will never be able to experience family, friendship and love, and they will always be lonely in their hearts until they die. Come."

Hiss~~

Lynch pursed his lips. This is actually a very scary thing. For many people, it is more terrifying than death.

"But this is not the case for us. Don't forget that we are believers in suffering. Our faith in the Lord is beyond these worldly emotions, so we will not feel lonely even if we sacrifice everything, because we are just as we vowed As it says, everything has been dedicated to the Lord.”

You guys are stuck here with bugs, right? Give me back my emotion.

The corner of Lynch's mouth twitched. Although he knew that these volunteers would still suffer lifelong pain, and the old woman just said it lightly, he still felt a lot better. He was even more grateful that he had instinctively screened out those people just now, but He was still a little uneasy and asked: "I asked Chairman Ole just now, but the old fox pretended to be mysterious. Is this really enough without any other price?"

"Of course, it is enough for them to pay this, otherwise I would not let them make sacrifices. I will not joke with the lives of these children,"

The old woman's tone was very certain, which made Lynch take a deep breath: "Then I'm relieved, so what help do you need from me?"

"I just heard what they said, that the Shadow Alliance has already started taking action?"

"Yes, and I suspect they have other back-ups, hoping they can persist for 24 hours without any problems."

"That's what I'm telling you, we're in trouble, and it might take more than twenty-four hours."

"Huh? The reason?"

Nightingale did not answer, but pointed to the bag that Lynch was carrying. Only then did Lynch remember that the twenty-four crystal bottles were still on him. Quickly taking it off and opening it, Lin Qi was immediately stunned.

The liquid in the bottle was clear and transparent not long ago, but within half an hour of the ceremony, it had become a little turbid.

"This is……"

Lynch realized that this should be what Nightingale mentioned before. Ritual would greatly increase the speed at which rare objects are contaminated, so the purification of the flames must be maintained at all times to prevent diseases from corroding the rare objects. However, The effect now appears to be worrisome.

"The situation is worse than imagined. The intensity of erosion is much greater than expected. The reason has not been found yet, but if it continues at this rate, the pollution level may soon reach its peak, and the effect of the strange objects will be It will be reduced to the lowest level. Continuing at this point will lose any meaning.”

"Hey, is there a way to solve it?"

"Yes, pause the ritual, spend some time purifying the rare objects, and wait until the rare objects are restored to purity before continuing." Nightingale explained, "So I said that it will take longer than expected, and the initial estimate may be extended. Double, but it cannot be ruled out that it will take longer, but theoretically it should not exceed seventy-two hours.”

The plan can't keep up with the changes. Sure enough, it won't be as simple as 24 hours.

Lin Qi had a rather painful feeling. He had experienced the truth of long nights and many dreams countless times, but...

"There should be other solutions."

"Yes, if we invite a few people from other churches to help, we may be able to alleviate the current difficulties." Nightingale looked Lynch up and down and said, "Remember that when you purified the rare objects yesterday, you only used less than It took ten minutes to restore it to normal from severe pollution. Archbishop Trinleth said that it was a gift from the blazing lady, and the divine flame is more effective at purification."

"Indeed."

"So I want to ask a few helpers, Phil, the Lord of Craftsmen, Flanda, the Lord of Plants, Tyr, the Lord of War, and Sur, the Lord of the Sun. These four supremes all control the omnipotence of the flame. Please invite their followers to join them. , should be able to greatly increase the purification speed, even exceeding the pollution speed, so that there is no need to pause the ceremony in stages, and it will save a lot of time. However, I think I should ask your opinion first."

"ha?"

"Because you don't seem to want people from other churches to join. Even the Church of the Sun and the Church of Fortune are deliberately excluded by you. You don't trust other gods, except the Lord and the Lady of Darkness."

"Uh, is it that obvious?"

"Actually, it's not bad. It's much more concealed than writing it directly on your face."

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome." The old woman shook her head, "Although I don't know why you have such an idea, you have proven with practical actions that you are qualified to make anyone take your idea seriously. Do you think you can ask them to help? "

Lin Qi was silent, with various thoughts running through his mind.

There is at least one god with malicious intentions, and it is not ruled out that there are more. The four gods mentioned by Nightingale happened to be outside the three supreme ones certified by the old aunt. This means that the possibility of enemies among these four is close to half. It is too dangerous to choose rashly.

Especially after experiencing the threat of the Thousand Faces just now, if an enemy is really allowed in, he doesn't need to do anything, just bringing in any dangerous goods can make everything fail. Instead of trusting them, Lynch thinks it's better to trust those more friendly guys.

"I'll do it."

"Do you know what you are talking about, Lynch? I remember you said that although those flames don't hurt you, the pain is real." Nightingale frowned and said, "You have to endure this pain for more than ten or even dozens of hours. This is not a joke, child."

"I wasn't joking either. I will find a way to deal with the problem of not being able to hold on." Lynch gave Natalie a few instructions and asked her to leave first. Then he returned to the platform and swept his eyes over the nuns around him: "Well, I'm ready. I also feel guilty about them. This can actually help Make yourself feel at ease. And... Madam, I am not that stupid. Sometimes I am a little smart. "

"Hmm?"

"You just said a trap. Unfortunately, I just heard it. You said that 'they' only need to pay this much. You said you would not risk their lives. Haha, you may not be lying, but..." Lin Qi smiled and said softly, "I don't want to say more. That's too fake. However, although I don't know the ending, at least I will accompany you on this journey."

As he said, his body turned into a ball of fire and appeared on the platform in a flash.
