Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Lumian thought for a moment and said:

"Does body, mind and spirit draw closer to the Giver because the power of the gift carries a corresponding imprint?"

He inferred this from the spiritual legacy of the original creator and previous owners of the extraordinary characteristics.

Although the gift is pure power and contains no characteristics, it should also be colored by the owner.

The lady held the tarot cards, nodded approvingly and said:

"Your logic skills are pretty good.

"You should thank Aurore for giving you a sufficient basic education."

You don't need to remind me... Lumian muttered in his heart.

The woman further said:

"Even if the giver himself does not want to influence the recipient, it is difficult to avoid the result of the other party getting closer to him in body, mind, and spirit, because if the power of the gift does not contain the will of the giver, then it will be difficult for the recipient to If you control it, it will soon be lost.

"Therefore, the gifts given by the righteous gods in this area are basically temporary and controlled within a certain level."

The evil gods don't care what will happen to the recipient in the end? Lumian nodded thoughtfully and asked curiously:

"Extraordinary people, I mean, can people with extraordinary characteristics still receive gifts? Will the two conflict and lead to loss of control?"

The lady looked at Lumian with a smile, shook her head and said:

“There will be some conflict but not big.

"Think about it, the power given will make your body transform towards the giver, and your body originally existed in a state to adapt to its own extraordinary characteristics. Once there is a too big change, it will definitely conflict with the extraordinary characteristics. Until a new balance is found.

“Because this kind of conflict does not involve the mind or spirit, it will not make you lose control under normal circumstances, unless you were already close to a mental breakdown during that time.

“The only problem is, you may have to learn to calmly watch yourself grow a third eye and a fourth hand.

"Of course, the premise is that the power given to you lasts for a long time and the corresponding level is also high, otherwise the slight change in the body can be ignored."

Lumian said "hmm":

"What if it's a gift from itself or an adjacent path?"

The lady nodded:

"It really doesn't create conflict."

She then smiled:

"But that doesn't mean there won't be physical changes."

What does this mean? Lumian was about to ask again, but the lady smiled and said:

"I thought that after you found out about the person in the ring, you would be eager to ask about time loop related matters. As a result, you are actually paying attention to this knowledge that you don't know if it will be useful in the future.

"This doesn't look like you!"

Lumian showed a self-deprecating smile:

"I originally wanted to ask you if there was any way to help us break this time loop, but I remembered something you once said:

"You said that the price for your help in solving the corresponding problem is that the entire Kordu village will be destroyed and everyone will die. If you want to get a better result, you can only explore it yourself.

“Before, I couldn’t understand it, but now I can probably guess the reason.

"If you are not a member of the circle, the only way to break the cycle here is to destroy it directly?"

The lady nodded with satisfaction:

"Indeed it is."

"Then why didn't you make it clear before?" Lumian couldn't help asking.

This is not something that will lead to destruction if you talk about it!

Or is this lady accustomed to half-talking and half-hiding expressions?

The lady suddenly laughed:

"When I told you that the whole village was stuck in a time loop, would you believe it?"

Lumian thought for a while and said:

"Won't……"

Without "personal experience", who would believe that this absurd and bizarre statement is just a part of a story?

"So." The lady smiled, "Why should I explain it clearly? Then I will have to spend a lot of time explaining it to you."

"..." Lumian fell silent.

He took advantage of the situation and asked:

“You know what’s the key to breaking this cycle?

“In which direction should I work?”

The lady shook her head again:

"It's dangerous to divine certain things here."

"Ah?" Lumian didn't understand for a moment.

The lady had to add:

"If I knew what the key was, I would definitely tell you. If I solve it sooner, I can end this journey sooner."

She then sighed:

"When can I have a good trip without work..."

Work? Seeing that he could not get the "revelation" from this mysterious lady, Lumian could only tentatively ask:

"Is it true that as long as the priest is not killed, time will not start to cycle?"

"No." The lady replied accurately, "There are multiple trigger points in the cycle, including when the time reaches Twelfth Night. You can explore the rest by yourself."

Twelfth Night... There is still a lot of time to investigate... Lumian thought for a while and said:

"Because I have activated something special in my body, I can keep my memory and extraordinary characteristics every time I cycle in the future?"

Seeing the lady nodding, he asked further:

"If this is the case, then as long as I can continue to cycle and investigate while ensuring that I am alive, sooner or later I will be able to find the key to ending all of this..."

This is an application of the "exhaustive method" that Aurore talked about.

"Theoretically, this is true." The emotion that confused Lumian and was difficult to distinguish resurfaced in the lady's eyes, "But you should also have discovered that only Kordu Village and the surrounding area are circulating, and the other areas are circulating. There is no place, that is to say, time in the outside world is passing normally, and the date is completely inconsistent with Kordu Village.

"Those three investigators will send a telegram outside every once in a while, describing themselves and the status of the village. Once they mention the date, Intis officials will be able to detect something abnormal here.

"Even if the investigators did not have time to send a telegram or mention the corresponding date in each cycle, as time goes by, the officials will definitely find the problem. By then, what methods do you think they will take to solve the cycle in Kordu Village? ?”

Lumian was silent for a while and then said:

"Should be like your alternative, direct destruction."

"This can effectively prevent abnormal spread and affect other people." The lady said with emotion, "If you have the opportunity to go to the Sunia Sea in the future, you can ask about Bansi Port, which is suffering from some kind of pollution. It was directly destroyed by the Church of Storms, and no one escaped."

This statement further strengthened Lumian's determination to find the key point of the cycle on his own.

He laughed at himself again:

"It seems I don't have much time left."

At most, there will only be three or four more cycles, and each cycle cannot reach Twelfth Night.

The lady stood up and said calmly:

"At least you still have a chance to save yourself. Some people don't even have a chance."

…………

After leaving the old tavern, Lumian stood on the road, looking at the few pedestrians and the houses around him. He felt that everything in Kordu Village was normal. Everyone had joy, anger, desire, and feelings. , no different from people elsewhere.

But this village, which seems peaceful and noisy, peaceful and noisy, hides unimaginable horrors. Everyone here is trapped in a time loop, living the same days over and over again.

www.youxs.org, www.youxs.org, www.youxs.org, www.youxs.org, Lumian is still unable to determine who is abnormal and who is innocent.

www.youxs.org, he can't be 100% sure that the other party is completely fine.

At the end of Lent, the abnormal behavior of most young people may have been caused by the supernatural influence exerted by the priest on the spot, rather than having problems before.

For a moment, Lumian had the feeling that Kordu Village was a primeval forest, full of dangers everywhere, and he couldn't tell who was the prey and who was the hunter.

Caution and patience are the first elements to survive in this environment, while ability, courage, wisdom and experience must be ranked second.

This is somewhat similar to wandering life, but also significantly different.

As these thoughts emerged, Lumian felt inexplicably that the "Hunter" potion was showing signs of digestion.

"Is this the first step of the 'acting method'?

"It's pretty fast. I thought it would take a month or two to get started..."

Thinking of this, Lumian suddenly became excited:

Can the "Hunter" potion be digested in one or two cycles?

At that time, by cooperating with the hunting in the dream ruins, I might soon become the "provocateur" of Sequence 8, gain more powerful power, and increase the probability of success in solving the time loop problem.

Lumian thought as he moved forward, and soon arrived at the village square.

His current plan is to "chat" with the priest, test him, and see if he can find any abnormalities and get some clues.

Just then, he saw a figure walking towards the church.

The figure was wearing a long dark brown coat with a hood, a rope tied around his waist, and a pair of brand-new, soft leather shoes, www.youxs.org.

He... Lumian quickly approached and asked deliberately:

"Pierre, why are you back?"

www.youxs.org, it looks like the beard on his face has not been shaved for a long time.

Hearing Lumian's question, he replied happily:

"Isn't Lent coming soon? I haven't participated in it for several years, and I can't miss it no matter what this year..."

His blue eyes were filled with a gentle smile, completely different from the shepherd who had left a deep impression on Lumian and even shadowed him.

Well, I changed the place and asked the question to a different person. The answer is somewhat different from the last cycle. Although the essence has not changed, some of the words will be different... Lumian listened carefully and looked down at Pierre. I bought your new shoes and said with a smile:

"Get rich?"

"Not really. I can only say that this time my employer is very nice and has given me a lot of things." Pierre was very happy and said, "I'll treat you to a drink tonight."

"Okay." Lumian agreed and pointed to the church, "Are you going to pray?"

"Yes, it's been a long time since I prayed to God in a church." Pierre sighed.

This sentence originally meant nothing, but the more Lumian heard it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Shepherds are not completely far away from human towns. There are many villages around the plain pastures, but the alpine pastures are desolate. But the shepherds will go down the mountain to replenish their supplies every once in a while. How can they not find a church?

Of course, www.youxs.org, you really can’t find the church of “Eternal Blazing Sun”, it’s just Lumian’s preconception, www.youxs.org.

www.youxs.org：

"You go to church too?"

"No." Lumian shook his head in denial, "I thought there would be people chatting in the square, but no one came."

He then waved his hand:

"I'm going home first."

"See you tonight." www.youxs.org.

After watching the shepherd walk to the church, Lumian returned to the village.

He changed his mind about chatting with the parish priest, and his next destination was:

www.youxs.org!
