The red moon returns

Chapter 569 Saving Souls
What can we do for her?
Lin Qi was stunned, and his originally depressed heart suddenly moved.

Then I realized that this was one of the few times Ms. Hongyue took the initiative to propose something. Something was not right. Did something happen?

[Linqi Levi, now I ask you solemnly, are you willing to accept a commission from the gods? ]

'Yours? No, you don't need to ask me that.'

[Do you still think so now? Even if you have guessed part of the truth now, are you still willing to trust me unconditionally as before, be my brother in the world, and help me accomplish everything I expect? ]

'You don't have to worry about that. Whatever I guess, it won't change my mind. You deserve it, so... Fight for you, my lady.'

Thank you, Lynch

"My pleasure, neighbor." Lynch smiled, "So, who commissioned this?"

Just as the question popped up in his mind, he suddenly had an idea: "Ms. Fiona?"

[Yes, Fiona hopes that we can do her this favor and save the souls of her followers. ]

"Hmm? The gods will do this for a certain mortal individual..."

[The hymns of mortals are hymns of courage. This is not just a line in the stories of that world. The gods love mortals not only because mortals offer their faith to the gods.]

Luna's gentle voice was more serious than ever before:
[Faced with cruel fate, mortals' actions always inadvertently show their courage and perseverance. They use virtue to win the respect of the gods. If possible, the gods also hope to repay beauty with beauty, and kindness with kindness, so that everything has a perfect ending. Unfortunately, reality is not a story, and is always full of regrets and misfortunes. This is Nightingale's own decision. Fiona cannot stop it, and she has no position to stop it, but she still hopes to avoid the worst situation. Make the ending as less sad as possible. ]

'So, she wasn't facing death?'

[The wonder has been activated, Nightingale's death is inevitable, but there are things more terrible than death. What she is doing now is to use her soul to supply the consumption of the wonder. Although she has accumulated countless virtues over the past few decades, it is still impossible for one person's soul to meet the consumption of the wonder. Moreover, once the wonder is activated, it will not stop, and will eventually devour her soul completely, and she will never be able to return to Fiona's kingdom of God. ]

Hiss~ Lynch understood that for devout believers, this would probably be a more despairing ending than death.

'So, what do I need to do to satisfy you and Lady Fiona?'

[I'm sorry, Lin Qi] There was a hint of embarrassment in the gentle voice, [We are not sure, we are not even sure whether we can save her soul now, we can only rely on you to try.]

"...Is it really appropriate for you two gods to make a wish to a mortal?"

[You are not an ordinary person, my friend.] There was a hint of cunning in the gentle voice, which made Lin Qi grit his teeth. [Fiona asked me to tell you that she knows this is an impolite request. As long as you do your best, no matter what the result is, she will owe you a favor, and I will also...]

'You owe me a favor?'

[No, this is what I deserve, you said.]

???

You've really learned bad habits, neighbor. [We speculate that Nightingale's current experience is rooted in a problem. Even with your current method of using strange objects, the consumption is still huge, and it is simply not something that her soul can bear. In fact, it should be a burden shared by twenty-one souls.]

"Huh?" Lin Qi's face changed. "That is to say, in theory, all volunteers in this ceremony will die on the spot, but their souls can be preserved?"

【Yes. 】

'So, she didn't want her sisters who believed in the same thing to die in the ritual, so she was prepared to overdraw her soul from the beginning to supply the entire ritual. Damn it, she must have found some special manipulation methods in that paper, and even this girl didn't understand it. "Lin Qi patted the back of the noble lady in his arms and sighed softly, "It is very likely that the virtues that are enough to make her a saint allow her to do this. Forget it, let me think about how to solve it. '

Holding the sleeping Diana, Lynch fell into deep thought, while the apostles around him were in no hurry to leave. They all had sharp minds and knew what was going on when they saw him standing there in a daze. They looked at him in confusion, and although they didn't know what exactly he had encountered, they were all quite curious about what his plans were.

Lynch ignored everyone, his brain was working at high speed.

He didn't even need Fiona's commission. As long as he knew about this, he would definitely go to save people. Just based on Ms. Nightingale's character, it was worth it for him to do so.

But what is the method?

Since he knew that the root cause of the tragedy was that the old lady insisted on using her own life to offset the consumption of the rare object, the only solution Lin Qi could think of was to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Saving money is difficult, and the strange object will not listen to people's advice. If you want to save money, you can only destroy the strange object in advance. This is obviously impossible. After all, this ceremony is related to the fate of billions of lives, and it cannot tolerate willful behavior.

Then we have no choice but to find a way to open source it.

If we could provide more sacrifices, more beauty, and directly meet the needs of the Light of Miracle without violating her wishes and preventing the deaths of those volunteers, perhaps we could save Nightingale's soul and allow her to return to Fiona's kingdom of God?

Will it even save her life?
The question was how to do it? Lynch had no idea.

The entire ceremony was prepared by Nightingale, and the person who knew it best was her. If there were other methods acceptable to her, it would not have come to this, so there was no point in asking her.

As for the others, Lin Qi did not hold out much hope. Even if they knew the method, they might not support him. After all, continuing now would be the safest way to solve the hidden dangers of the plague, but any other method would bring great uncertainty, involving countless lives. It was human nature not to want to take risks, which was completely understandable. I'm afraid only a madman who had lost his mind would give up the safe method and go... Hmm? Madman?
Lynch's heart moved, and he slowly turned around and looked at the more than ten apostles of the evil god around him.

After staring at them and thinking for a moment, Lynch suddenly smiled strangely, and several apostles subconsciously took a step back.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I don't mean any good." Lynch hooked his finger at the group of people, motioning them to come closer, "Now I want to have some fun, I wonder if you can help me."

The swollen girl in yellow clothes and the winged Night Demon Apostle were the first to move a few steps closer, and then the other evil god apostles followed with interest, including several of their own evil god apostles.

"Like you said, the ceremony is now on track. My plan was successful, but it's not fun to go this smoothly. There's a saying in the other world that if there are difficulties, we have to go ahead. If there are no difficulties, we have to create difficulties and go ahead. Can't we find something to do now that there are no difficulties?"

The swollen girl glanced at him: "What do you want to do?"

Lynch did not hide it. There was no point in lying to this group of evil god's apostles. He had to use an open strategy. Therefore, he directly told Nightingale about his situation: "What I want now is to quickly collect a large number of sacrifices suitable for the Light of Miracles to fill that thing's appetite, but I don't know how to do it. You are all experts in this field. Who can give me some advice?"
