This aura is deadly

The faint blue candlelight illuminated the dark corridor. There were small platforms for visiting candlesticks on both sides of the stone path. Originally, the candlelight should be brightly lit here.

The aisle can accommodate two people walking side by side. In the past, priests must have marched in silent and orderly formation toward the space deep in the aisle.

Chen Ke was very concerned about the demon species that Nylonde said. If Faralis was related to the fire in the kingdom, it meant that the fire came from some kind of magic rather than a natural phenomenon.

Of course, he didn't want to run into that Faralis here. After all, he didn't have any countermeasures against magic, so he would have to be burned alive if he did.

But on second thought, Chen Ke thought that there was a conflict between the time of the fire and the two memories he had obtained. Since the fire burned everyone to ashes, Nylonde's body should not be left on the podium.

Um……

Either many magical fires broke out in the kingdom, and the last one burned everyone to ashes, or there was something else going on.

Chen Ke is not interested in guessing riddles. If he can obtain enough knowledge and memory in the Great Void, he may be able to know what the fire is about, but Chen Ke will definitely not take the initiative to find and explore it on his own.

After all, his core purpose is to find clues about the Si's Consortium team so that he can have more information about the Si's Consortium, so that he can face Pankiya head-on without any danger.

Until the life countdown is removed, nothing else matters. Take a look if you can. If it delays your time, give up decisively.

After walking for at least a few minutes, Chen Ke came to a circular hall, which was obviously a room dedicated to various ceremonies. Chen Ke held up the candlestick and looked around. There was actually a trace of black mist in the empty hall.

"Consume your lifespan to resist the erosion of the dark terminal disease..."

"-10 seconds"

"-10 seconds"

"-10 seconds"

"-10 seconds"

"-10 seconds"

…

Dark terminal disease!

Chen Ke frowned. Isn't this the plague that ravaged the Van Hed Kingdom? ! Unexpectedly, this disease would float in this hall in the form of physical black mist.

Regardless of whether the disease can be treated or not, and what consequences it will have, at least for Chen Ke, he does not have to worry about contracting a dark terminal disease.

In other words, any similar curses, mental attacks, plague viruses, or other long-term debuff magic that cannot be removed will not have a substantial effect on Chen Ke, because all these effects will be offset by lifespan.

On the bright side, Chen Ke is immune to all controls and debuffs. On the worst side, even the most rubbish debuff curse will have a direct impact on Chen Ke's life.

This is like a double-edged sword.

A drop of cold sweat fell from Chen Ke's forehead. He couldn't exit yet. He had to at least take a look at the furnishings in the hall first.

After all, whether the ritual is completed or not is related to the recurrence of the cycle in this area.

Only by following the footsteps of the Si's consortium team could he know what they had obtained.

But does this also indirectly indicate that everyone in the team is suffering from a dark terminal disease...?

Chen Ke looked towards the center of the hall. Under the candlelight, there was a large circular magic array on the ground.

Completely different from the six-pointed star array in the movie, this magic array is more complex. This array is based on a circle, with dozens of rings nested inside each other, and the blank spaces of each ring are filled with words He found ancient runes that he couldn't understand.

Chen Ke stretched out his hand to touch the magic array. The circles of patterns were composed of grooves. It seemed that when certain liquids flowed through these grooves, the magic array would play its due role again.

Chen Ke guessed that the liquid was probably blood.

From the center of the circular magic circle, more than a dozen lines radiate out. The end of the line is a circular frame that can fit into a person. The circular frames are scattered unevenly around the magic circle, and there should be a priest standing inside each one. , while another fluted line connects to the small altar in the hall.

"It takes more than a dozen people to perform this ceremony, and I don't know if they have used any strange magic. How could I..." Questions flashed in Chen Ke's mind.

But when he saw what was on the small altar, he finally understood what he was going to do.

There was a round silver tray placed on the altar, which actually contained a intact woman's head...

The woman had long golden hair and was decapitated from the neck. The wound was very neat. There was silk padding under the silver tray, and there was no trace of blood on the boot.

The woman seemed to be just asleep. Under the light of the candlestick, Chen Ke couldn't help but feel the hair on the back of his head.

Damn, this is so perverted...

If I really want to say it, this woman is really good-looking... It's a pity that she only has one head left.

Judging from the appearance, this woman is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but in the Middle Ages, this was already the age when marriage was discussed. She must have a pair of beautiful big eyes, and her pink lips are slightly curved downward, as if she is thinking about herself. Destiny laments.

No, this woman didn't seem to be sad for herself. In her expression, Chen Ke couldn't see any self-pity or fear of death.

Is she the so-called demon species Falalis?

Chen Ke came to his senses and maintained his beauty after cutting off his head, which speaks volumes. Perhaps before the last sealing ceremony, the demon species Falalis launched an unprecedented magical fire to take revenge on the Black Ring Cult and this kingdom for sealing her.

But Chen Ke still thinks things are not that simple.

Chen Ke checked the silver tray. It seemed that the tray could not move, and there was a mechanism attached to it, like a pressure scale. Chen Ke estimated that as long as the head was removed, the tray would rise.

Next to the tray was a mediocre iron dagger. The dagger was rusty, but he could still see the red blood on the blade.

Obviously, this woman's blood is the key to the sealing ceremony. Her eternally youthful head can continuously release blood, fill the magic circle on the ground, and seal herself with the power of her own blood.

Chen Ke picked up the dagger with his left hand, and after brewing his emotions for a long time, he gently touched the woman's head with his right hand.

"If that's the case, don't blame me..." He muttered silently, grabbing the woman's hair and slowly lifting it up.

When he brought the dagger close to the neck of the woman's head, he suddenly hesitated.

The so-called completion of the cycle should not just repeat things in memory. Obviously, the current situation in this kingdom is that everyone is burned to ashes. If the priests had completed the ceremony before, this thing should not have happened.

No, the cycle shouldn't be like this. At that point, someone must have prevented the completion of the ritual before the fire broke out.

Otherwise, the door to the nave of the church should have been opened long ago...

Chen Ke slowly put down the dagger, looked at the woman's head in his hand, then took off the silk on the tray and wrapped the head.

"I'll wrong you first."

Chen Ke looked at the silver tray again. Without the weight of his head, it was slowly rising.

Without saying much, he left the rotunda with his head on his back.
