The red moon returns

Chapter 549: Shining Trapezohedron
Lynch found himself being teased again.

When he came to his senses, he realized that there was no 'them' at all. Except for Chairman Ole, everyone was busy and no one paid any attention to him.

Natalie was already used to his periodic daze, and when she saw him in a daze, she immediately protected him and blocked everyone. When Lynch came to his senses, the first thing he saw was her straight back, which touched his heart, and he quietly reached out and held her rough hand.

The female police officer tried to shake her hand off but failed. She turned back and glared at him, then let him hold her hand with a slightly red cheek.

Only then did Lynch see the surrounding environment clearly. The light of miracle was still floating in the blazing flames on the platform. The flames emitted bright light, but could not cover up the colorless and pure light of miracle.

Four mid-level priests stood at the four corners of the platform, carefully controlling the secret technique. The blue flames constantly licked the old medicine box, making the medicine box emit the purest light every moment.

Twenty volunteers from the Suffering Church were already in place. These ladies in white robes knelt in a circle around the miraculous light. Everyone closed their eyes and bowed their heads, with their fingers clasped together in front of their chests, maintaining this position motionless. A ray of light emanated from each of them, connecting with the miraculous light in the fire.

Lynch felt a little depressed because the scene before him reminded him of a scene he had seen before.

On the night when I just traveled through time, in the living room of Randall's house, when the group of servants were expelled from the strange object, they surrounded the statue of the ancient flicker in a similar form, and then turned into eight balls of dust, with only human heads left.

After all, no matter how noble the purpose is, this is still a sacrifice. Let a group of people sacrifice themselves in exchange for the benefits of more people. People around them take it for granted. Even Natalie, who maintains order, is accustomed to it. But is this really good?
The experience of almost becoming a sacrifice made Lynch a little confused for a moment, but the strength from his hand woke him up from his confusion.

It was Natalie who was holding his hand, her once fierce eyes now filled with comfort.

"This is indeed a sacrifice, and it is what you hate the most, but if you think about it carefully, similar situations are happening every moment in this world."

Hiss, think carefully, it's not just this world, it's everywhere like this? Even in my hometown, many things require many innocent people to sacrifice their own interests to create beauty for more people. Although there are various names, isn't it still a naked sacrifice in essence? It's just that the sacrifices are different.

"Each of us is actually doing the same thing, sacrificing our own interests and things we cherish in exchange for everything we think is worth it. As long as it is not forced but an active behavior, then it is an equal exchange and this is order." The police officer suddenly exerted force on her hand, pinched Lin Qi's claws and said grimly, "So, you want to disrupt order?"

"Hand, hand, hand, broken, broken."

Lynch made a grinning expression, but the corners of his mouth were raised higher than a cat's tail.

"Huh, what are you laughing at?" The policewoman rolled her eyes at him, but couldn't help but sigh softly, "This is their own choice. We can't help them. We can only hope that they pay as little as possible."

"At least they won't die." Chairman Ole's voice came from the side. He has been sitting here all the time and is the last line of defense for the entire ceremony. "But they will lose a lot of beautiful things."

"Family, friendship, love, and the like?" Lin Qi bowed slightly to the old chairman, "So how were these things taken away?"

"No one knows the method, but in this mysterious world, there are too many means to achieve the goal." The chairman said regretfully, "This is already the mildest price. I doubt whether such a price can drive the miracle light to neutralize part of the disease power."

"But hasn't the drive already started?" "It is said that this is just the beginning, and we have to wait and see how it develops." The chairman showed a strange expression, "Also, if you go to a restaurant to eat and the boss lets you go before you pay enough, then the biggest possibility is..."

"what is it?"

"Nothing, I don't know. Oh, by the way, what happened up there just now that made the archbishop rush up there in such a hurry?"

I'm the only one who's good at interrupting people in the world, how did you learn to do the same? And could you be more blunt in changing the subject?

Lynch muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, but still repeated everything above.

"Faith barrier? This is similar to absolute defense. Once it is activated, it is almost impossible to break through. Supreme power? Even if you really use the body of God to guide the will of the gods to descend, it is almost impossible to break through, unless you encounter extremely special circumstances." The chairman teased, "The problem is that the faith barrier consumes a lot of energy. Even for the Dark Night Church, it cannot be ignored. Archbishop Trinlais is so cruel. It seems that the accident just now has also caused him a lot of pressure."

"What is that?" Lynch demanded. "The archbishop can't explain it clearly."

"It's a black crystal with an irregular polyhedron with red stripes, right?" Chairman Ole twirled his beard and pondered, "It should be a shining trapezoidal octahedron."

“???” Lynch felt that he had learned Rand language like a dog and simply couldn’t understand the meaning of this string of names.

"Because this is not originally Randish, but the ancient language of the Second Age. Randish was just forcibly disassembled and translated. Anyway, this is a coordinate left by an evil god named Night Demon. Through it, the will of Night Demon can be temporarily summoned to the world. Although it is only for a moment, it is enough to destroy the ceremony and clear out all ordinary people in Rhine."

"Are they crazy?" Lin Qi gritted his teeth. They actually wanted to throw out such a powerful weapon. "Is that Night Demon also a very powerful evil god?"

"He is one of the identities of a powerful evil god who is said to have a thousand identities. That ancient evil god is said to be the most active of the three oldest evil gods, but...what's wrong with you?"

"I think I know why I feel that thing is familiar." Lynch's eyes twitched. "It seems that the guy who likes to watch the fun has no intention of calming down and has found a new target. She seems to be quite powerful. If it is her supreme power, can it forcibly penetrate the barrier of faith and pass in?"

"Of course, but they have to start from the inside. I won't give them a second chance." Archbishop Trinless also hurried back and patted Lynch on the shoulder and said, "The faith barrier has been opened and is concentrated around this safe house. Unless they find other ways to sneak in, the safety here will not be a problem. Now it depends on Ms. Nightingale and the others. I hope everything goes well. Hmm? By the way, why haven't I seen the other lady next to you?"

"She's gone to help me with something. It may take her three or four hours to get back."

Lynch just smiled and didn't say much.

"I need you to help me with something, too."

Hmm? Lynch turned his head and saw that Ms. Nightingale, who had closed her eyes and prayed, had opened her eyes and waved at him.
