Chapter 330: Fictional Bottle

"Lu Mian Lee!"

Following this low shout, Lu Mian froze in place, his eyes appearing unfocused.

In the corner of the abandoned mine, a figure quickly outlined itself.

He was wearing a complete brown dog skin, but a slit had already cracked between his chest and abdomen, revealing a human body wearing a white robe with silver and black threads inside.

Silently, the dog skin withered and fell to the ground, and a man under 1.7 meters straightened his body.

His black hair was a shallow layer, his blue eyes were sharp and majestic, and his nose was slightly hooked. It was indeed the parish priest of Cordu Village, Guillaume Bénet!

At this very moment, Guillaume Bénet smiled, holding a white human bone in his hand, looking at Lu Mian with fanatical eyes, as if he were about to welcome a new Fate gift, a Fate gift that could transform his life.

After seeing the "substitute" knocked out on the spot by strange secret arts and the enemy teleporting to other places with the help of "Spirit World Travel," Guillaume Bénet, who was in the form of a large brown dog in the small living room, first reacted by fleeing No. 50 Vincent Street in a hurry.

In that way, the "substitute's" role of blocking the disaster would be fully exerted, and he would also get rid of the fate of suffering, changing to another place to start over, no longer troubled by this matter.

But almost instantly, as a "Fate Hunter," he sensed the abnormality in the attacker's fate and sensed the traces of a high-level existence on the "Fate" path.

He judged from this that it was Lu Mian Lee, carrying the descent angel he had worked so hard to pray for sealed in his body!

This made Guillaume Bénet's mind active. Having become a devout believer in Fate power, he instantly became fanatical:

He wanted to catch or solve Lu Mian Lee!

He wanted to break the seal and let the Angel of Fate truly descend upon the earth!

He wanted to use this to obtain gifts involving divinity from the other party, initially get rid of the limitations of the human body, and represent Fate to better rule the ignorant humans!

After briefly analyzing the situation of both sides, Guillaume Bénet let Paulina and the others flee in a panic on one hand, leading away Lu Mian Lee's possible helpers hidden in the dark, and on the other hand, left the "substitute," leaving clues for Lu Mian Lee, who would inevitably return to No. 50 Vincent Street after finishing off the fake, guiding him into the basement and discovering the secret door.

After arranging these things, Guillaume Bénet turned into the sacrificial hall, deliberately not destroying those sheepskins, cowhides, and dog skins, allowing Lu Mian Lee, who already knew the situation of the "Beast-Making Technique," to quickly guess the truth.

At the same time, he shook off some dog hair, actively exposed his escape route, and then recited the incantation set in advance, lifted the "Beast-Making Technique," and used a contract ability he had never displayed in front of Lu Mian Lee at the secret door leading to Underground Trier——"Fictional Bottle."

This ability, which made Guillaume Bénet a bit greedy, could use environments with symbolic things like "doors" and "windows" to incorporate designated, not-too-large places into the "Fictional Bottle," and set simple enough entry conditions himself, allowing people who met the conditions to enter the bottle without obstruction, while those who didn't would return to the original place.

The condition Guillaume Bénet set was "possessing Fate power."

This was the common point between him and Lu Mian Lee. Regardless of whether the other party had accepted the gift of Fate, the carrier sealed with the Angel of Fate and having a fate entanglement was inevitably a person possessing Fate power. In this way, if Lu Mian Lee's helpers didn't have the gift of Fate, they wouldn't be able to enter the "Fictional Bottle," leaving only Lu Mian Lee and him one-on-one. And if they accepted the gift of Fate, they would obviously be affected by the great existence, and at critical moments, they would be roughly equal to companions.

The reason Guillaume Bénet didn't use "coming from Cordu Village" as the condition for entering and leaving the "Fictional Bottle" was because judging it was quite troublesome, requiring collecting information from the Spirit World, which wasn't as intuitive as "possessing or not possessing a certain power."

In addition, if Paulina and the others got rid of the trackers and sneaked back here, they could pass through the bottle mouth to provide help.

After making preparations, Guillaume Bénet hid his figure, waiting for Lu Mian Lee to enter the "Fictional Bottle" himself.

The development of things was as he expected. After seeing Lu Mian Lee, who had changed his appearance but whose traces of the Angel of Fate remained unchanged, Guillaume Bénet decisively opened his mouth and used the "Soul-Sucking Secret Technique."

He knew Lu Mian Lee wasn't the target's original real name, but the other party had used this name for nearly six years, had gained recognition from everyone around, and didn't reject it himself. A very strong mystical connection had already been established between the two, which could be used as a real name.

And as the parish priest of Cordu Village, a local born and raised, he had a certain understanding of all aspects of Lu Mian Lee, believing that the effect of the "Soul-Sucking Secret Technique" would inevitably be very good, making the other party severely dizzy.

Seeing Lu Mian Lee freeze at the entrance of the "Fictional Bottle," lowering his head, his body swaying slightly as if standing unsteadily, the smile on Guillaume Bénet's face became more obvious.

He didn't delay at all, nor did he make a speech, directly throwing the white human bone in his hand, intending to use a curse secret technique that would make the other party "never wake up."

After completing this matter and controlling the target, he would take out the ritual sheepskin prepared in advance, wrap the target, and recite the incantation, turning him into a sheep that couldn't speak and couldn't use most of his Beyonder abilities.

At that time, Guillaume Bénet could lead the sheep, transfer to another place, and find a way to break the seal and release the angel.

Once successful, he would become a saint, a powerful human with divinity!

*Slap! *

As the bone fell, Guillaume Bénet, while moving forward, quickly recited the incantation in Hermes:

"Can't see, listen..."

The incantation was only half-recited when this parish priest who sacrificed the entire Cordu Village suddenly felt a tightness in his heart and received a strange warning from fate.

For him, such warnings rarely appeared. Counting this time, it was only the second time. The last time made him vigilant and re-examine his behavior after arriving in Trier, using "Substitution Technique" and "Transformation Technique" to create a substitute respectively.

With absolute belief in Fate, Guillaume Bénet stopped reciting and lunged toward the side.

The next second, he heard Lu Mian's voice:

"Hum!"

A faint white light that was almost impossible to detect flew from Lu Mian's nose, landing on the position where Guillaume Bénet had just stood, passing through the air and disappearing into the uneven gray-black ground.

Lu Mian raised his head, his eyes exceptionally clear, as if he had never been affected by the "Soul-Sucking Secret Technique."

Inside his two ears, which were covered by his lengthened hair, were tightly stuffed soft paper balls!

Before entering the basement, he had made preparations for encountering residual power, for which he stuffed his ears and changed his appearance, aiming at the "Soul-Sucking Secret Technique."

I can't even hear you shouting my name, how could I be affected?

Of course, paper balls in the ears couldn't completely isolate the sound, and Lu Mian still heard a little shouting, but he couldn't distinguish that it was his own name at all, only receiving slight influence and recovering after being slightly dizzy.

He judged from this that he had encountered the "Soul-Sucking Secret Technique," so he pretended the situation was serious, induced the enemy hidden in the dark to come out, and used the "Hum-Ha Technique" to surprise the other party.

What Lu Mian didn't expect was that the person attacking him was Guillaume Bénet.

He hadn't run away yet, he still held the idea of dealing with the enemy and saving the angel!

This made Lu Mian both tense and happy, producing a kind of joy stained with madness.

Guillaume Bénet just lunged to the side on the ground and hid his figure, while the top of this abandoned mine dropped one after another twisted black vines like long snakes, which wrapped the entire interior of the "Fictional Bottle," blooming one after another bright red blood-like giant flowers.

Lu Mian ran around the entrance, taking out the iron-gray military wine flask and unscrewing the lid, picking out the "Decency" brooch.

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh*, green long arrows emitting a pale color shot out from behind the black vines, inserting themselves into the place where Lu Mian had just run.

The rocks and mud hit by them were like encountering strong acid, showing obvious, exaggerated signs of corrosion.

After putting on the "Decency" brooch, Lu Mian's figure suddenly lowered, avoiding the "pale green arrow" shot at his head. At the same time, he knelt on one knee, leaned forward, and pressed his hands on the ground composed of gravel and mud.

Suddenly, crimson flames rose, forming a semi-arc wall.

This wall of fire extended in all directions, igniting the spreading pitch-black vines and igniting those bright flowers that opened "ferocious giant mouths."

The air was immediately filled with a faint, sweet, fishy smell, making those who smelled it feel dizzy and want to sleep.

Guillaume Bénet, who shot the "pale green arrow" and revealed his figure, changed his position again, inhaled the anesthetic gas produced after the "Abyss Magic Flower" burned, and saw the crimson wall that seemed to turn the entire abandoned mine into a pure sea of fire.

Lu Mian Lee clearly knew that the anesthetic gas would make people fall asleep after the "Abyss Magic Flower" burned, so why did he ignite them all? Guillaume Bénet was a bit stunned for a moment.

After a turn of thought, he roughly understood Lu Mian's idea:

The other party wanted to create an environment full of anesthetic gas that didn't distinguish between friend and foe!

In that way, Lu Mian Lee would fall asleep, and Guillaume Bénet would also fall asleep, while Lu Mian Lee's companions were still guarding outside the "Fictional Bottle," perhaps they would think of a way to break this contract secret technique before long!

After figuring this out, Guillaume Bénet sneered, and his face took on a metallic luster.

"Steel Body"!

This was also a contract ability he hadn't displayed in front of Lu Mian Lee before.

It could turn a person into a metallic creature for a short time, not afraid of anesthetic gas!

Of course, turning into a metallic creature would limit Guillaume Bénet's use of most of his own abilities.

…………

Outside the "Fictional Bottle."

Discovering that he and Jenna were back in the sacrificial hall and Lu Mian had lost his figure, Franca immediately took out a mirror.

The surface of the mirror remained with some blood stains and black spots.

"What are you doing with the 'Mirror Substitute'?" Jenna didn't quite understand.

Shouldn't we try to see if we can pass through that secret door again now?

Franca said with a serious expression:

"This is the 'Mirror Substitute' I made for Xia Er before the action, and relying on it, I can counter-curse Xia Er.

"Now, I want to use a weaker curse to see if I can establish some kind of connection with him."

Being able to curse Lu Mian meant the connection still existed and hadn't been cut off. If not, they must think of another way!
