Chapter Seventy-Seven: Change (The Third Shift Asks for a Monthly Pass)

Lumian was before Guillaume. Bene had briefly told Ryan and the others about the black thorn symbol on his chest, the secret existence with "fate" in his honorific name, and the fact that the corresponding field materials included gray amber, tulips, lilacs, and musk, but he only blamed the source on the parish priest, and had nothing to do with him.

Now, as soon as they heard his reminder, Leah, Ryan, and Valentine were immediately alert and had corresponding guesses.

"The place of sacrifice?" Ryan muttered to himself.

As he spoke, all eyes turned to the basement.

By the small amount of light that flowed down the staircase, they could barely get a good idea of what it looked like: the entire space beneath the church was larger than Lumian's house

The first floor was even larger, with gray-white stone slabs on the floor, and the surroundings were extremely dark because the light could not be seen, and in the middle stood a stone platform half a man high.

The top of the stone platform is slightly concave to the depths, as if there is something hidden, but it is difficult to see.

Lumian whispered as he pondered, "This may be the place where the parish priests ask for 'gifts' from evil beings. ”

"They actually built the altar of the evil god in the basement of the church!" Valentine was so angry that Lumian suspected that he would burn up in the next second, turn into holy light, and purify everything here.

"Calm down." Ryan patted Valentine on the shoulder, "Get ready to light the flames." ”

He then motioned for Leah to do a scout.

Leah kept a sweet smile, sniffed her upturned nose and said:

"The secret being who has 'fate' in his name loves fragrance... …”

She sighed as she walked into the basement. His mouth fluttered, as if he was silently chanting something.

The four little silver bells jingled again, and got up, sometimes intense, sometimes soothing.

One step, two steps, three steps .... Leah turned around and said to Ryan and the others, "There's nothing unusual about the doorway area.

Ryan, Lumien, and Valentine entered the basement through the old brown wooden door, and came to where Ria had stopped.

Leah moved on.

Within a few steps, the silver bells hanging from her veil and boots shook violently.

Jingle Bell!

The voice rushed in all directions.

A little bit of morning light immediately appeared around Ryan's body, and they condensed together, creating a set of silver-white full-body armor on Ryan's body.

At the same time, Ryan had a pure greatsword of light in his hand.

Valentine half-opened his arms, letting the golden illusory flames burn beside him.

One of the flames suddenly lengthened and widened, and Leah's figure stepped out of it.

She returned from near the altar to where Lumian and the others were.

It's amazing... Lumian was once again amazed by Leah's performance, which was more bizarre and magical than the "Sun" pathway ability and Ryan's combat state, such as the ability to transfer his wound from his thigh to the edge of his calf yesterday, which was simply incredible.

In the face of the sudden "alarm", Lumian still made his only response:

Pull out the iron-black axe and shrink behind Ryan, who has grown much larger.

In the process, he took a look around and found no unusual changes.

You know, he's on Psisight.

Of course, Lumian also made a certain discoveryβ€”with the light of the golden flames, he saw piles of human bones on the edge of the ground, some of which were covered in pale sheepskin.

Is this the previous offering? Priest Honparish: They've been conducting cult rituals here for at least half a year, and Aurel and I didn't notice it at all.... Lumian's thoughts raced, and he once again felt that the village of Cordu, where he had lived for nearly five years, was so strange, and it was not normal at some point, perhaps, from the beginning.

"Nothing, right?" Ryan asked Ria as he looked warily in the direction of the altar.

Leah shook her head

"I don't feel like there's anything wrong, just a sign of danger."

"It's weird......" Lumian glanced sideways at Ria when her voice stopped abruptly.

He saw that the beautiful woman's face had become translucent, and there seemed to be twisted worms crawling there, burrowing in and out, and the whole person was more terrifying and evil than the legendary evil spirits, and even made people's scalps tingle and heartbeats.

It was beyond Lumien's imagination, and he suspected that he would have nightmares for a long time.

"You, your face!" He couldn't contain his horror as he reminded Leah.

Leah subconsciously touched her face with her right hand, and her eyes changed.

As for whether her face had changed, Lumian couldn't tell from the transparent and twisted worms.

Leah quickly looked at the back of her hand, where the skin had also become translucent, and the flesh underneath seemed to have turned into strange worms.

"You're close to getting out of control!" Valentine also noticed Leah's condition.

Liya muttered to herself, "But my mental state is okay."

"Make sure this is your hallucination." Ryan reminded sideways.

Almost at the same time, Lumian noticed that the tall warrior was rapidly shrinking, and the silver-white armor on his body and the greatsword of light in his hand also disintegrated, and the latest and fastest update was released.

In the blink of an eye, Ryan turned into a little man in his early fifties, with a brown shirt and light yellow trousers that were either big or long.

He's also mutated? Only Valentine and I didn't have an accident..... Lumian's pupils dilated sharply, and he subconsciously looked at Valentine.

"Ryan, you're getting smaller!" Valentine, who was already a man of pure light, reminded his companion urgently.

"......" Lumian, who was almost blinded, hurriedly asked Leah, "Have I changed?" ”

Liya said with countless transparent worms that seemed to crawl out and couldn't do without flesh and blood: "You are normal. But in this case, normality may be the biggest abnormality. ”

Am I normal? Could it be that the black thorn symbol protects me and makes the 'danger' here think I'm one of my own? Lumian suddenly had a guess.

At this time, Ryan had already checked his body and said while guarding:

"I'm not getting smaller, I'm back to what I used to be, and I've lost even my supernatural abilities."

"What it used to be?" Lumian blurted out.

Something vaguely occurred to him.

Ryan nodded: "Well, I was born short, and as a man, this is a great misfortune, so I chose 'Warrior' when choosing 'Potion', which can effectively change my height."

"I don't know if I'm lucky or not, in the last five or six years, there have been a lot of extraordinary monsters and abnormal phenomena involving the 'warrior' path, so that I can be relatively less troubled by the materials needed for promotion."

After listening to Ryan's words, Lumian probably understood the source of the mutation: "You are back in the 'past'!"

"As far as I know, the authority of the hidden being is involved in the past, and he learned from the mysterious lady, paused for a few seconds, and added something else:

"It's also about the present, as well, as well as, as well, in the future.

Although he is currently speaking Intis, he should be cautious.

Leah reacted very quickly and blurted out, "Valentine and I have entered the future, this is the state of a certain future?" ”

"And I'm now?" Lumian confirmed Lia's guess with a rhetorical question.

Then he thought of the three-faced monster he encountered in the ruins of his dream.

The monster had only one head, but it had three faces, one old, one prime, and one young.

Lumian suspected that this was also a gift from the owner of the Black Thorn symbol, and that it was of a higher level, but the giver could not bear it, or had some accident and became a three-faced monster.

Liya nodded lightly and said, "Probably, but this change in state has not affected my spirit, and I don't feel close to losing control at all." ”

"I don't feel like I'm burning." Valentine followed.

Ryan thought for a moment and said, "Again, I haven't lost my memory.

"Maybe there's just a little bit of power left here that doesn't affect the spirit, mind, and memory, but after staying in this state for a long time, I'm not sure if there will be any serious after-effects.

"I'm fine, it's a big deal to take potions again, re-promoted, your words, the future should have a variety of possibilities, but now, the future may have been doomed, one out of control, one into holy light, this is, well, I understand the 'fate'."

"It's scary." "Luckily, we can restart the loop, and we can still try to get back to the 'now' here." ”

Seeing that there were no terrifying monsters around him, Lumian asked, "Why don't we go out first and see if we can recover naturally?"

"And on the way, you might even meet the power that represents the present."

Ryan did not object: "You can try." ”

Now he is an ordinary person, and it will be dangerous to go any further.

"I'm afraid that another change of state will lead directly to a loss of control." Leah said cautiously.

It's certainly good to meet the "now", but it's troublesome to encounter the "past", and I don't know what will happen if the "future" is superimposed again.

Lumian took the initiative to speak: "I'll explore the way, I still have a chance to change my state." ”

He mainly wanted to see if he was lucky enough to meet "Now", or if the black thorn symbol on his chest protected him.

"Be careful." Ryan didn't stop him, but gave a remonstrance, and Leah nodded.

Valentine's eyes became less indifferent when he looked at Lumian.

He couldn't help but think: This young man is very sacrificial, and he is also a devout disciple of my lord, and when the cycle is lifted. Let's see if there's a way to get rid of the hidden contamination from him and get him to join our team.

Seeing that Lumian was about to take a step, Valentine, who had regained his composure, proposed, "Shall I try to get rid of this state first?" ”

No one objected, and so did Lumian, because he was in the "now" and did not need to be expelled from the "negative state" and did not need to be purified.

The next second, he realized that he had miscalculated.

Instead of directly creating holy water to purify Leah and Lyelle, Valentine used the "Sun Halo" first.

A dark golden light flashed, and an invisible force spread out in all directions.
