Weird Stories: Gothic Lolita Begins

When Lucia fell asleep involuntarily, Lenari, Fitz, and Miles successively withdrew from the range of the divine magic array of the purification ceremony to avoid interference.

This divine magic ceremony, called the "Great Purification Ceremony", took a long time. Lenari and others, led by Pattyfer, came to the pavilion outside the temple to wait.

During the boring and anxious wait, Lenari couldn't help but say to Fitz, who was still holding Wang Bao and rubbing him from time to time: "If you like it, how about I give it to you?"

"Wang?!" Wang Bao, who was pouting, was startled and looked at Lenari pitifully.

Fortunately, Fitz immediately shook his head: "He doesn't like me."

Lenari was silent: "... This dog really only likes 'women'."

"Actually, I like cats more... Unfortunately, the immortal cats are too rare." Fitz's frozen ice-blue eyes revealed some nostalgia.

"..." Lenari, who was still very young and had both an immortal cat companion and an immortal dog pet, was not very comfortable with this topic, so he had to say, "I will let you know if I meet a suitable furry weirdo one day."

Fitz nodded calmly, without any expectations.

...

Lenari waited for more than two days.

As early as the Great Purification Ceremony had not ended after 20 hours, Petipher could not sit still and went to preside over it in person.

After Petipher left, the atmosphere in the pavilion was stagnant and suffocating.

Lenari was essentially weird, Fitz was used to being motionless and dazed, and the conceptual level was an existence beyond the scope of biological beings, not to mention two or three days, twenty or thirty years of motionlessness would not be a problem.

This made it difficult for Miles, who was still in the normal range, and Wang Bao, who was in the late stage of ADHD.

As an elite agent, the former had received corresponding training, and his superpowers were the type that strengthened himself and were well developed, so he was relatively calm, while the latter was on pins and needles.

Want to escape, afraid of death; sit and wait, hyperactive nature is protesting or even rebelling...

At nightfall the next day, Wang Bao finally couldn't help it and bit the edge of the stone table.

The huge discordant crisp sound brought Lenari, who had entered a state of empty meditation at some point, back to his senses, and realized belatedly that there seemed to be no need to wait like this.

Signaling Miles to take Wang Bao to the outer city to exercise, Lenari took out a deck of game king cards and invited Fitz to play a game.

...

The morning light was dim.

Pettyfer walked over on the dew, looking tired.

"One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" The old man said seriously.

"In order." Lenari put down the cards in his hand, his expression was still calm.

Petipher nodded, sat down at the missing stone table, took out a thermos cup from his wide sleeves, unscrewed the lid and took a sip, then said: "Ms. Lucia is not affected by strange stories or weird things, but her own problems."

"Her own problems?" Lenari frowned as he whispered to himself.

"Yes." Petipher said affirmatively, "Ms. Lucia's dream was once tampered with, with 'missing' as the medium, a certain existence in the dream is being resurrected in her body... The situation like the sudden change of taste is the initial manifestation."

"...You said, 'once'?" Lenari grasped the key point sharply.

Petipher nodded: "It's been too long... that 'hand and foot' is too sophisticated and has become a part of Ms. Lucia. The Great Purification Ritual can do nothing about it."

"..." After a moment of silence, Lenari asked "calmly", "What's the solution?"

"It's difficult." Petipher sighed a little, "The only way I can think of is to become a purifier, complete the path of self-purification, and bet that the final 'sublimation' can find the true self."

Hearing this answer, Lenari was a little confused for a while, whether this "only solution" contains some z z considerations...

On the side, the experienced Fitz had no doubts about this and grasped the key point accurately: "Is Lucia... suitable for the Purifier route?"

"To be honest... it is not suitable at all." Petipher said with a wry smile, "The Purifier route is very special. It values ​​the acquired 'will' and 'belief' more than talent."

"If you want to go far on this road, a steely will and unshakable belief are necessary... This is also the reason why Purifiers who take 'becoming a god' as their ultimate goal mostly rely on religious sects."

Lenari was silent.

Petipher's explanation was simple and easy to understand. The evolutionary route of the Purifier does not require talent and is not suitable for "Buddhist and casual party" and "salty fish party"...

Lucia, without a doubt, is a cat who indulges in warm daily life and is both salty and Buddhist.

"Maybe..." Lenari said hesitantly, "can an illusory goal become her motivation?"

"OrMaybe, but the collapse of faith often completely destroys a person... cats are no exception." Patipher advised gently.

"..." Lenari was at a loss.

Being a half-baked purifier would obviously not help, but "reaching the end" is not easy... Let's not talk about the distant past. In the past three hundred years, no purifier has reached the conceptual level, which is the best proof.

"If the 'missing' as a medium is blocked..." Lenari said uncertainly.

Patipher shook his head: "Once the 'resurrection' enters the process, the triggering medium is irrelevant."

"..." Lenari fell silent.

"Anyway, let's try to practice first." Fitz suggested, "My 'freeze of state' can buy enough time for Lucia."

"... That's the only way." Lenari sighed.

Patipher thought for a moment and asked: "It's not good for Ms. Lucia to keep it a secret. Should I tell her the truth? "

"..." Lenari rubbed his forehead, which was in phantom pain, "I am very worried that once Lucia learns the truth, she will directly choose to sacrifice herself..."

Pattifer was stunned for a moment and fell silent.

"..." Fitz was half a beat slower and asked, "The resurrected person... is someone very important to Lucia?"

"This matter is a bit complicated..." Lenari pondered for a moment, and finally decided to tell the whole story of "Vivian" and "Vivian".

-At most, the ancient city of Fifer will also be included in the monitoring scope.

As for Fitz, Lenari believes that he does not need to rely on "conspiracy" to obtain or achieve anything.

Lenari knows very well that the person who is resurrecting in Lucia is very likely to be "Vivian", and most of the time, like Vivian, she is helpless.

After all, if she is the mastermind behind everything, doing such a thing will involve many risks and variables along the way. That said, there is almost no profit...

If you are interested in Lucia's "eternal youth", you can think of a way, such as contacting the "super power factory" that can produce customized superpowers, and try to seize the transfer power, which is more reliable than "resurrecting in Lucia"...

"Resurrecting in Lucia" means "becoming Lucia", and Lucia... apart from "eternal youth", is just a weak and powerless kitten.

Even if "Vivian" is determined and has the confidence to go deeper into the route of the Purifier who does not value talent, "becoming a weak kitten" is a huge risk...
