I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 506: The Pain Buried in History

Dancer: Katie Gracie eventually lost her ability to fight.

After being bound by countless icy chains, the dancer just smiled softly:

"Miss Stranger,

Your psychic traits are a good fit for us. Have you ever thought about joining us?

Compared to Baron Reynolds, we can definitely provide you with better materials for extraordinary advancement."

Hearing this conversation I never thought of having.

Angelica paused for a moment in surprise:
"Is this also the reason why you joined?"

Katie sighed:

“I don’t have the same noble purpose as Edwin Berkeley or even Gary Joiner.

I just want to experience real art.

I once lived in a family of artists who were not recognized.

Of course, I was not involved in the transaction with Ivanovich.

just.

Get started.
I've imagined this ending a long time ago.

When I stepped onto this great stage of civilization a year ago, I had anticipated:
Death is the greatest art.”

Hear her say that.

Countless ice spears slowly emerged beside Angelica, reflecting the flickering flames, with intricate yet extremely elegant patterns.

She said softly:
"Don't worry, you won't die.

just,

I will have a sweet dream which is not too long. "

That's right, she didn't start the cleanup work directly as usual.

Instead, he was gradually advancing according to the plan that Su Wen had already prepared:

“The obstacles have been cleared.

Mr. Rhine, it’s time for us to move on to the real stage.”

now.

Even though Count Gold and several extraordinary guards fought desperately for a long time, they were eventually captured.

After all, this was a conspiracy that Ivanovich had already arranged.

Moreover, they also possess a 20% increase in psychic power in accordance with their identity nameplate actions.

of course.

Also because of Count Gauld's efforts.

The number of judges and guard knights of the originally mighty Projection Ruins Inquisition has been reduced by nearly four-fifths.

They were bound by magic-forbidden shackles and were sent to the platform of the sacrificial field farther away while stumbling.

The projection remains at night.

The light of the flames flickered in the darkness, casting countless mottled shadows, adding a touch of weirdness and solemnity to this solemn and tense scene.

All around, the knights of the Inquisition, wearing heavy armor and holding spears, stood silently.

The knights' visors reflected the firelight, flashing a cold light, like iron statues, guarding the fairness and majesty of the trial.

The judges stood on one side of the altar, wearing black robes and with solemn expressions.

Their eyes pierced through the smoke of the torches and were directed at the witch being tried.

The witch was tied to the center of the altar with thick iron chains, her clothes were torn and her face was covered with dirt and blood.

However, her eyes were unusually calm.

It seemed as if at this critical moment of life and death, she still maintained her inner peace and dignity.

Various strange instruments and symbols were placed on the altar, exuding a mysterious and weird atmosphere.

The flames in the brazier also jumped arrogantly above the utensils, reflecting the pale face of the witch and the serious faces of the judges.

now,

Except for the performers and dancers.

Finally, the remaining conductor who continued to conduct using [Super Characteristic: Arturo's Flat Tone] also stood on the podium.

Next to him was Count Ivanovich, who planned everything.

Behind them were a dozen First Order Masquerade members wearing Vatican choir costumes and metal masks.

in other words.

Su Wen prepared several silver masks in advance, which might help confuse their senses.

Looking at the knights around the Judgment Shrine, many of them were even nobles involved, but they also followed the behaviors assigned by their identity plates with dull expressions.

Count Ivanovich could not help but feel somewhat satisfied:

"What an excellent brainwashing ability, Mr. Jonah."

"brainwashing?
No, no, no. "

The conductor said many negatives in succession.

"Dear Count,

This name is a bit too vulgar.

We just want a perfect performance.
Actors must also be obedient. "

"With the help of this abnormal relic projection, you have handled many similar crises in the present world before."

“I am,

But Edwin Berkeley and Katie Gracie don’t have that much experience.”

Count Ivanovich stroked his beard with satisfaction.

Subsequently.

He was ready to execute the most critical part of the plan:

“Just burn those people of Gold to death along with the witches that needed to be dealt with in the ruins.

As for the other brainwashed people.

To prevent these people from going out and reporting to the Aurora Organization or the Night Watch.

Jonah,

Add a few more layers of loyalty as a knight's 'virtue' to them with a deep mental imprint.

I want to later,
Let there be only one voice in the whole of St. Petersburg!"

And hear him say that.

Conductor Gary Jonah also clapped his hands:

“On to the next scene.”

now.

The entire projected ruins seemed to come alive.

With the judge's announcement, the trial officially began.

The judge's voice echoed in the quiet night, like a chapter from an ancient epic, solemn and heavy.

They were dressed in black robes, with stern faces, and pronounced the witch's crimes word by word.

"After careful review by our Inquisition, the 13th Supreme Witch of the Secret Monastery is actually the main threat maker of the stellar mass extinction event."

The judge's voice was as cold as ice, piercing the surrounding darkness.

He continued:
"The mass extinction event was an unprecedented disaster in the history of the Ring Star Region and the Eternal Dawn. As a result, countless lives on the planets were wiped out, and the world was almost plunged into an irreparable situation.

And at this critical moment.

There were actually people who spread the news that a witch had developed an antidote and saved countless lives.

however,
But in fact, it's not. "

He paused, and glared at the witch like a knife:
“The real antidote:

It is a gift from God, and it is beyond human power.

The witch's so-called antidote was nothing but an elaborate scam.

She exploited people’s fear and desperation, spread rumors and created panic to achieve her own ulterior motives.”

The witch's face gradually turned pale, but she remained silent, as if waiting for the judge to tell more "truth".

The judge continued:

“After an in-depth investigation.

We discovered that the witches had already begun secretly manipulating the situation long before the mass extinction event.

When disaster really strikes.
She used the antidote as bait in an attempt to control the entire civilized group."

His voice became increasingly stern:
"The crimes of witches are too numerous to list. Their actions not only violate the laws of nature, but also trample on human dignity.

therefore,

The Eternal Dawn Inquisition unanimously decided to sentence the witch to death as a warning to others."

"Burning at the stake!"

"Burning at the stake!"

"Burning at the stake!"

The knights raised their spears and let out deafening shouts, adding a solemn and murderous atmosphere to the trial.

However, the witch remained silent.

She looked through the crowd and into the distance.

It seems to be waiting for something, and also seems to be saying goodbye to something.

And right now.

A huge blue beam of light rushed in from afar.

He looked directly at the judge who was just reading out the charges.

and.

In just a moment,
The old and terrifying head exploded, turning into a rain of blood spurting out.

[Legendary Trait: Edward - Watcher's Sword - Storm Rip]

A few drops of scarlet blood even splashed on Count Ivanovich's body.

In his surprised eyes.

A calm and indifferent voice sounded slowly:
“It’s a disgusting history.

But it doesn't matter,
Masquerade, to thank you for providing me with another possibility: that of 'time'.

This performance.

Next,
I, Rhine, will take over completely!"
