Chapter 627

Ice-blue eyes!

That devil!

It's actually in the church!

Lu Mian's spirit tightened. Without thinking too much, he immediately wanted to "teleport" away.

This time, he would choose Trier, choose the entrance of St. Vief Church!

Just at this moment, he saw himself reflected in those ice-blue eyes:

Himself with a twisted face, a vicious expression, and cold eyes.

Immediately afterward, one Lu Mian after another appeared, appearing around Lu Mian.

There was a Lu Mian with intoxicated eyes, heavy breathing, and a flushed face; a Lu Mian with a terrified face and trembling; a Lu Mian with an expressionless face and determined eyes; a Lu Mian with confused sadness and low mood; a Lu Mian with no will to survive; a Lu Mian with eyes occupied by anger and hatred, and red eye sockets......

For a moment, Lu Mian seemed to have split into countless selves, each looking real.

This seriously affected his thoughts and actions, making him unable to trigger the contract mark representing "Spirit World Traversal" at all.

Following his last instinct, he sank his remaining consciousness toward his right hand, toward the brand left by the "Blood Emperor" Alista Tudor.

Only by scaring that devil with ice-blue eyes could he take the opportunity to get rid of his current state and have the energy to "teleport" and escape!

Suddenly, babble containing strong madness and a sense of depravity rang in Lu Mian's ears.

His mind instantly turned into a paste, expanding to the point of almost exploding.

The aura of the "Blood Emperor" failed to be triggered in time.

Various fragmented, emotional, and painful thought fragments exploded like fireworks in Lu Mian's mind and then slowly fell.

A strong burning sensation was produced in his chest, which helped him locate himself and not be completely lost.

I don't know how long it had been, but Lu Mian finally found his thoughts that he could control.

The first thought he had as a result was:

"I'm actually still alive?"

From being attacked by the babble to recovering consciousness, a period of time should have passed. With the devil's strength, it was enough to kill him dozens of times!

While Lu Mian sank his consciousness toward his right hand again, he looked at the devil with ice-blue eyes.

That devil in a black suit, with a bow tie and gray hair, had sat up straight again, facing the "Holy Emblem of Life," slightly bending his waist and back, and folding his arms on his chest.

He closed his eyes and whispered painfully:

"Merciful Mother, please forgive my sins......"

Merciful Mother, please forgive my sins...... Lu Mian's heart suddenly moved, and he gave up the plan to trigger the "Blood Emperor" aura.

He sat down again, sitting right next to the devil.

He looked at the "Holy Emblem of Life" on the altar, waiting quietly, not interrupting the devil's repentance, and quietly thinking about the encounter just now:

The different selves I saw should belong to real hallucinations. They are not in the real world, but in my heart, in my mind......

This is a high-level manifestation of emotional and desire fluctuations, activating individual emotions and desires, letting them fight for control of the body, but not reaching the level of personality splitting?

The subsequent babble is a bit like the crazy curse when Napo Redisli was driven away, but this time there is no gray fog protection from Mr. Fool. No, there is still some protection; otherwise, my self would have capsized in the river of madness brought by the babble, and even if I didn't lose control, I would have completely fallen, not being able to hold on until the devil discovered his "conscience" and began to repent......

I thought the safest place on the whole Hant Island was this church of the Church of Mother Earth, specifically choosing this place to hide from the devil, who knew it was praying here...... It seems that I can't blindly trust the churches of the orthodox churches like this in the future. In the case of insufficient information, nothing is absolute......

However, it was only in the church that I survived. If it were anywhere else, it would be Termiboros fighting the devil with ice-blue eyes, and then the angels of the orthodox churches would descend, the angels of the Tarot Club would descend......

Lu Mian had some guesses, waited fairly firmly, and summarized his experience and learned his lessons.

After a few minutes, the devil with gray hair, ice-blue eyes, and a black suit ended his repentance. His expression initially returned to calm, but there were more bloodshot eyes.

Only then did Lu Mian notice that he was wearing black leather gloves on both palms, and even when repenting and praying, he didn't take them off. This did not conform to the performance of a devout believer—in the widespread cognition of the human world, praying with gloves is an act of disrespect to the gods, except for emergencies and special situations, and wearing a hat is the same.

The devil turned his head and glanced at Lu Mian, his voice low but calm as he said:

"You actually haven't escaped yet. Aren't you afraid of angering me again?"

Lu Mian looked at the "Holy Emblem of Life" in front and said with a smile:

"Not afraid, this is the church of 'Mother Earth'."

"Wasn't it also in the church just now?" The devil controlled his volume, not disturbing other worshippers.

"Occasional accidents can be understood." Lu Mian said neither fast nor slow, "And I believe you can definitely control yourself in a short period of time. It would be more difficult if it exceeds half a year."

The devil also looked at the altar, the "Holy Emblem of Life" reflected in his ice-blue eyes:

"Why do you think so?"

"I am an experienced adventurer." Lu Mian smiled and said, "I know that every orthodox church has a common rule, that is, survivors who have encountered occult events, if there is still hidden danger, are often absorbed into the church, become civilian staff, and receive long-term protection to avoid sudden death. But none of the people on Hant Island who have seen the devil's figure have gone through such a process; all of them left after receiving only a few months of protection.

"Is this because they are afraid that if they stay longer, even in the church or monastery, people will die?

"At that time, it will definitely have a great impact on the reputation of the church, and higher-level power cannot keep watching."

The gray-haired devil was silent for a few seconds and said:

"I don't want to kill them, but I......"

Speaking of this, his face twisted again, and his ice-blue eyes were full of pain.

He folded his arms on his chest again and whispered a prayer.

This time, he quickly returned to normal.

Lu Mian continued the topic just now and turned to smile:

"The epitaphs of those people weren't all written by you, were they?"

"Yes." The devil in the black suit maintained a slightly forward-leaning posture.

Looking at it this way, this devil has a fairly good relationship with the Church of Mother Earth...... He might not be so devout, but saying he is a believer is completely fine...... Lu Mian knew that in many critical situations, even if he asked, the devil with ice-blue eyes would not answer, and might even stimulate the other party, causing very serious consequences. He could only consider taking the opportunity when his emotions were stable and his malice was not obvious to ask about some details from the side.

But before he could speak, the devil had already raised a question:

"Outsider, what exactly do you want to do on Hant Island?"

Lu Mian deliberately showed a smile:

"I encountered a devil incident before......"

He briefly talked about how Sara in Colia Port encountered an "Love Spell," and when he was responsible for the investigation, the suspect was suddenly taken over by a devil, wanting to reach a deal, which he refused, and then with the help of hidden official power, the other party was driven away.

Lu Mian didn't specifically talk about the content of the "Love Spell," and temporarily didn't mention Napo Redisli's name—this was because he was afraid that there was a great hatred between the two sides, and just a name would cause strong stimulation.

He finally said:

"I saw from that notebook that there is a devil legend on Hant Island, and this is related to the deal that the devil wanted to reach. I became curious and decided to come over to take a look and investigate, not thinking about dealing with anyone."

"You can't deal with anyone either." The devil with ice-blue eyes evaluated truthfully.

He still looked at the "Holy Emblem of Life" in front, and added in a calm and low voice:

"Curiosity will kill the cat."

Lu Mian smiled:

"It is indeed very dangerous, but finding you in just one day and discovering that blocked valley shows that I am still capable enough."

Next time, I will choose a safer "shelter."

The devil with ice-blue eyes didn't have many wrinkles, and he smiled rarely:

"The methods you use are not conventional, but they also conform to the underlying laws of the occult world.

"But if I weren't controlling myself, repenting for past killings and injuries, you would already be dead. Such an investigation has no value."

Lu Mian didn't argue. From the information collected before, he wouldn't encounter any danger in the church of the Church of Mother Earth in a short time—what happened just now also proved to be a false alarm.

He changed the topic:

"Why does that inexplicable devil want to deal with you?

"And, with the strength of me and my companion, it is probably impossible to clear you, this so-called devil descendant. Is it actually wanting us to come and die?"

The devil in the black suit stared at the "Holy Emblem of Life" and said:

"I don't know who you encountered."

He refused to reveal more.

Lu Mian didn't dare to force, let alone stimulate, and had to let his thoughts flash, looking for other entry points:

"You look free, why don't you leave Hant Island?

"There seems to be some kind of power here affecting you."

The devil's facial muscles twisted and said:

"This is my duty, and it is also my atonement.

"After I converted to Mother, I still couldn't help killing people sometimes, still accumulating deep sins."

"Then why don't you imprison yourself completely?" Lu Mian recalled the previous reasoning and asked as if casually.

"I can't imprison myself, I can't do it, and I can't do that either." The devil with ice-blue eyes showed a painful expression again.

Sure enough, your state is closely related to the blood-colored devil in that valley...... However, you are already a "Cold-Blooded," why are you still in pain because of killing, and "cured" by the concept of the Church of Mother Earth that life is precious? Lu Mian decided to soften the topic and let the other party calm down.

He said as if chatting:

"Sorry, I wasn't polite enough just now, I haven't asked what to call you."

The devil with ice-blue eyes emptied his eyes for two or three seconds and said:

"Napo Redisli."
