Outside the village of Cordur, by the meandering creek, Aurel, sitting on the ground in the bright sun, wore her long light blue dress, and listened to Lumian's song feedback and speculation with her eyes closed.

She didn't say anything for a while, as if she was lost in thought.

It took nearly a minute for Aurel to speak: "If something happened to the Twelfth Night Ritual that caused the power of the Hidden Being to dissipate and bring about a time loop throughout the village of Kordu and the surrounding area, then I believe that the people in this area at that time, and even the spirits, would not be spared. ”

"What do you mean?" Home, who was also sitting on the ground, Lumian didn't understand his sister's logic.

"I mean, it's both power and pollution, and once it escapes, all the dains in this area will be relatively equally exposed to this pollution, yes," Orore elaborated. ”

"The black thorn symbol or other high-ranking presence is barely affected. Think about it, wasn't that like a dam bursting and quickly flooding the entire place, including the roof? Unless you have a boat in advance, your body will inevitably get wet. ”

Lumian imagined such a picture and hesitated: "In other words, the circle, everyone in the village is polluted by the scattered power, which is equivalent to a part of the cycle?" Part of his mouth does not refer to joining the cycle and being affected by the cycle, but more accurately to express it with the eyes closed of the car components that make up the cycle. ”

The blonde Aurel nodded lightly: "I suspect that not only killing the priest will lead to a restart, but also killing the villagers of Kolduber will cause a similar situation, which is equivalent to trying to disrupt the circulating components, and there will inevitably be a change in the mechanism of milk lineage stress." ”

"But we only killed the midwife yesterday afternoon..... Lumian stopped without saying anything

Midwife.....

He thought of a lot in an instant, and said hesitantly, "This is because the people in the castle are blessed by other high-ranking beings?" Is this also the reason why Madame Poalis said that she could get off at a certain moment? ”

What she didn't have was polluted by that force, couldn't she be part of the cycle, belonged to the people who were affected, and could leave with the help of loopholes or opportunities? please

Oroel sighed softly: "That's why she said she couldn't save us, she couldn't take us out, because we were polluted and were one with the cycle." ”

Speaking of this, she smiled bitterly: "Or that we are dead, for now." It is alive in the form of cyclic components. ”

No wonder the mysterious lady said that her forcible unbreaking of the cycle would cause everyone here to die, because we are the forcibly unbroken cycle itself.

Lumian was silent, he wanted to contradict his sister that she was not so pessimistic, but it was a good confirmation of the mysterious lady's words.

What he had never understood was that with the lady's free entry and exit of the cycle, with her daring to mention the person of the hidden existence, even if she could not break the cycle without damage, she would bless two or three.

It should also be an easy thing for this person to leave.

Now there is a more plausible and desperate explanation.

After a few seconds, Lumian looked for a counterexample: "Ava, Raymond, and Narocca are all dead, and it didn't cause the loop to restart." ”

Aurel said with a complicated smile, "It may be that at the beginning of the cycle, they were already dead, they did not participate in the ritual of the twelfth night, and they were not contaminated. ”

Her meaning is clear, in the world before the cycle, Narocca died before Lent, and Ava and Raymond were sacrificed to the festival, not waiting until the twelfth night, which is not part of the cycle.

She thought for a moment and said: "Rang Mori, who disappeared today, may also be in this situation, according to the normal development, he should have discovered the anomaly after Lent, before the twelfth night, and wanted to escape, but he was tragically destroyed, and our investigation only brought this matter forward." The only thing I don't understand is that Raymond's body wasn't sacrificed? He shouldn't have been in the beginning of the cycle......"

Hearing his sister's words, Lumien suddenly thought of what was happening under the church.

The invisible man in the black robe was made up of the spirits of Raymond and the others!

Combining his own occult knowledge, Lumian tried to sacrifice to the hidden being, and the sacrifice was not directly offered, and speculated that perhaps the altar at the Lent celebration was part of the Twelfth Night ritual, which is why Raymond's spirit appeared in the basement of the church.

His corpse had no effect, but in the pre-cycle development, Ponsberge and the others could leave Koldu, so in order to prevent him from letting the beauties downstream find the corpse, report it upwards, and attract an investigation, they may have recovered the corpse after completing the part of the ritual of drifting down the river.

Once the cycle began, the force had its own limits, and it didn't reach the place where they scooped up the bodies in Ponsbene, and they were affected by the contamination in their bodies and couldn't have the idea of leaving the area.

Aurore thought for a moment and nodded in agreement; "Except for you, the three strangers, Madame Poalis, and her men, none of the other villagers have ever left the village of Cordu, hunting in the mountains, and gathering wild fruits."

"If I hadn't been reminded by you, I would." Speaking of this, Aurel showed a sad and self-deprecating smile: "We are already a group of monsters, relying on cycles to barely survive as humans. ”

"No, there must be a way to save it, the lady said there was." Lumian interrupted her sister's bar, feeling sorry for herself.

Aurore exhaled slowly, "Can't you make your sister fragile for a few minutes?" ”

She then said: "According to this line of thinking, we can really only rely on ourselves, and breaking the cycle by external forces is equivalent to killing them." ”

Lumian sighed a little: "Unfortunately, this speculation cannot be verified at the moment, and it can only be confirmed until the twelfth night." The latest and fastest update debuts"

"Verification can be verified, but it will waste a lot of time, and besides, I can't do it," O'Narore replied.

"It's also...."Lumian probably understood his sister's meaning or plan: kill a villager who is currently not in the parish priest's team to see if it will lead to a restart, if so, find a way to kill one of the three outsiders to see if it will trigger the cycle, if not, then verify Auurore and Lumian's guess.

The vast majority of the people who were in the village of Koldu before were polluted and part of the cycle, and the later people were only affected by the cycle and had the opportunity to use loopholes or the help of external forces to get out of the cycle.

But that would be a wasted day of waiting, and Aureor is not the kind of person who would kill innocents, especially if they already had good cooperation.

Lumian doesn't have a moral barrier in this regard, and in his opinion, dying in the cycle is not really dying, and there is a high probability that there are just some residual problems, which is much better than being trapped in the loop.

Of course, if he really wanted to do this, he would definitely not try to murder and trap Liya and them, but directly reason with those three foreigners.

With the fanaticism and piety shown by Valentine, he was quite sure that he needed to take this guy to kill himself.

The siblings looked at each other, fell silent for a moment, and said no more.

After a while, Lumian changed the subject: "Sister, what do you think is the key to lifting the cycle from within?" ”

Aurel was thinking about this question just now, and said while thinking about it: "I can't just remove the cycle from the inside, we must use this thing to remove the pollution in each heavy body, otherwise it will be related to suicide." ”

"What's the difference? Well, according to the previous speculation, it was the ritual that changed and caused the whole village to enter the cycle, and the reason why the ritual changed was because you had the "mark" of the great being of the aerobic fish, which was stimulated and sealed the heavy pollution on your body in the heart ......"

As she spoke, Aurel looked her brother Quling up and down.

Lumian instantly realized: "You mean, the key to lifting the cycle is me??" ”

Aurel nodded: "The source of the change is yours, and the key to breaking the cycle may naturally be yours." Of course, this is only a guess, and perhaps the key to the cycle is the carrier of the Twelfth Night ritual that bears the power of the Secret Being's descending power, such as the parish priest or someone else......"

Aurore suddenly fell silent, looked at his brother for a few seconds and said, "Is there a possibility that these two speculations are equivalent, and you are the carrier?" Otherwise, even if something happens to the sacrificial offerings and pollutants that are used as leftovers, the ritual will not fail completely, and the power will escape uncontrollably. ”

"Uh......" The more Lumien thought about it, the more he realized that there was some truth to his guess.

He whispered to himself, "So, the black thorn symbol on my chest is darker than the parish priest's..... So, when the priest of the main parish was paying me to Tsuruban, he suddenly showed signs of losing control, and I killed him, so the mysterious lady never said where the key was, but just asked me to explore the ruins of the dream waste cycle and unlock the secrets there....."

Aurel listened a little excitedly: "yes, that might be a hint!" The Dream Ruins may come directly to the territory due to the pollution in your body, or it may be closely related to it, so you can rely on the Black Thorn Symbol to suppress every monster you encounter. ”

"And once you grasp the secrets there, you can control or safely activate the power in your body to a certain extent, and the pollution from every three people in Koldu Village will be recycled, and the circulation will be lifted naturally."

"Well, it may have to happen at certain times, like the Twelfth Night ceremony."

Lumian stood up: "Go back and dream now!" ”

"There's no need to rush." Aurore put her hands on the ground and slowly got up, "Aren't you injured?" Don't take a break? ”

Lumien patted his chest: "The kind of water that Madame Pualis spilled has healed all the injuries of the milk fish, and their spirits have been fully restored. ”

"Uh, poplar nectar...... Sending the child Guanyin ......" Aurel whispered.

"What?" Lumian didn't understand at all, and her sister spoke a very unfamiliar language.

Aurore closed her eyes and smiled slightly: "My warning means, go home to fill your stomach, take a nap, and explore in your dreams!" ”
