Lucy walked out the door and just took a step in a certain direction, but her body began to instinctively resist.

This was her ability, reminding her not to get any closer.

But the more her body resisted, the more excited Lucy became.

Is this the gamble he's been waiting for? After almost a month of waiting, it's finally here?

Thinking of the abnormal turmoil during this period, Lucy felt her adrenaline starting to surge. She overcame her body's instinctive resistance and began to run directly in the direction she resisted.

A true gambler wouldn't care about these dangers—especially when she almost always wins.

But she didn't know what was waiting for her ahead.

……

On the Jewel Avenue, Lucy slipped sideways into a small alley and waited for a while.

Soon, a white pony carrying two girls on its back galloped past her - this was the third group of extraordinary people she had seen moving away.

This is how the supernatural world is. The brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation. Lucy doesn't think that these people who escaped have done anything wrong. The fewer people there are, the better it is for her.

In this city of Burren, the number of people who can threaten her can be counted on one hand, and they are just threats.

There is almost no one who can kill her.

As long as she was prepared in advance, even Opold, the prince's son of level 3, would not be able to do anything to her.

After confirming that the buzzing in her head had not disappeared after the two people left, Lucy continued to run forward. Just as she was about to step into the Clock Tower Alley area, she suddenly looked up and looked at the towering clock tower in the Clock Tower Alley area.

The bright lights on the clock tower had gone out at some point, replaced by a few blurry black shadows.

Relying on her extraordinary eyesight to carefully identify, Lucy saw that those black shadows were human corpses connected by thin strings. They were hung on the clock tower and swayed in the wind, looking extremely strange under the moonlight.

Continuing to look up, I saw that the bright moon had lost its original color and was instead shrouded in red, like a blood moon.

No...it wasn't the moon that changed color, it was a red mist that had enveloped the sky above the city of Burren at some point.

Om-!

A more intense buzzing sound suddenly exploded in Lucy's mind. Almost at the moment the buzzing sounded, a feeling of regret emerged in Lucy's mind.

will die...

This sudden thought popped into her mind and wouldn't go away.

click-

A crisp sound of a hammer being cocked came from behind.

Lucy turned around suddenly and saw that several ordinary people had been standing behind her. One of them was a burly man with a face full of flesh. He held a revolver in his hand and pointed it directly at the other people.

"I...have had enough! You bunch of rubbish!"

bang bang-

bang bang bang-

The trigger was pulled frantically, and the muzzle of the revolver sprayed out fire snakes, quickly reaping the lives of those people.

Even the extraordinary person who was still following him from a distance had stopped at the end of the street, his body shaking, as if he had lost control.

The gunshots seemed to completely activate the entire street, and the originally quiet street at night began to be filled with roars and screams.

"Ahhh-"

Dang clang——

There was a sound of breaking glass, and a woman fell from the third floor, hitting her head on the ground and died tragically in front of Lucy, followed closely by a man.

He also jumped from the third floor and hit the ground, his leg bones breaking with a crisp sound.

The man seemed to completely ignore the fact that his legs were already showing bones. He crawled towards the woman with red eyes, cursing sickly.

"I told you not to listen to me... I told you not to listen to me!!!"

This crazy scene appeared everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Ordinary people who could not feel the spiritual alarm at all and should not have reacted to it seemed to have fallen into madness. Furious, even twisted and unreasonable hatred grew in their minds, driving them to commit horrific atrocities.

"For Orlando!"

A group of people ran out of another alley, waving guns in their hands, and pulled the trigger directly at a patrolling detective.

Their eyes were sickly red, and they seemed to be unaware of the saliva flowing from their mouths. Their sanity had been lost, and only complete madness was growing in their minds.

what happened?

Lucy, who hadn't been affected yet, watched all this in shock.

She had investigated the summoning rituals of cults and had seen some strange seals being automatically triggered, but she had never seen any seal or ritual have such a large impact.

And all this happened in just a moment. Before that, most people were still asleep.

Tap——

Suddenly, a clear sound of footsteps rang out in Lucy's mind.

Looking forward along the chaotic street, a terrifying figure was walking slowly towards her from the end of the street.

It was a "human" figure that was shrouded in darkness and had a face covered in blood mist. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary figure.

But behind the "human" figure, countless blood threads like dead branches spread out, entwining countless bloody corpses behind him - some were even living people who were still struggling - and draped behind him.

It was like wearing a huge cloak made of endless blood and sin.

The moment she saw that figure, the violent buzzing sound almost completely overwhelmed Lucy.

What is this? !

Extraordinary? Transcendent?!

No... no, it's impossible. Even if it's a level 4 transcendent, it's impossible for her to almost collapse just by looking at him from afar!

No...that thing is not something I can resist.

Not to mention the extremely small probability of getting huge profits, that thing... it is enough to overturn the gambling table, there is no possibility of any gambling at all!

Lucy's courage was instantly shattered, and she instinctively turned around and wanted to escape, but as soon as she turned around, her pupils shrank slightly.

Behind her stood a dark figure that was almost identical to the one at the end of the street.

There was a twisted black vortex on its face, and behind it, the entire alley was almost filled with blood, and it was filled with humans and corpses struggling in pain.

Lucy couldn't even scream. Her legs went limp and she knelt on the ground.

In her terrified sight, the blood threads like dead branches behind the black figure pulled the corpses and kept shrinking, slowly merging into eight pairs of twisted black insect wings behind it. The blood threads like dead branches became the patterns on the insect wings, and the bones and flesh became countless twisted human faces on the insect wings.

It seems that as long as you look at the insect wings, endless wails and roars will sound in your mind, never stopping.

Lucy was completely mentally broken.

……

"Master Ciel... Master Ciel! The ritual did not fail, the summoning did not fail!"

Tara stared fanatically in the direction of the distant city of Burren, pointing her finger excitedly.

The city of Burren in the distance was covered by blood mist. In Tara's vision, she could see a huge dark insect phantom crawling in the center of Burren City, spreading its huge insect wings.

It's the Holy Spirit! Absolutely the Holy Spirit!

Tara forced herself to resist the urge to kneel in that direction. The Mother Goddess was right next to her, and it would not be appropriate to kneel to other holy spirits at this time. If she had to kneel, she could only kneel to the Mother Goddess.

At this moment, Charles looked at the shadow in the distance and felt a wave of fear in his heart.

Fortunately, I ran out early...

The people who offered sacrifices this time were all from the Holy Advent Sect and the Savior Goddess Sect. Without any surprises, it was highly likely that creatures from the other world related to this church were summoned.

But this time, Charles did not feel any sense of closeness with this creature from another world.

"Can you tell what it is?"

Ciel asked.

At this moment, the excited Tara did not notice anything unusual, and just thought it was a test from Charles. She realized that she was too excited, stood back behind Charles, and said with her head down: "This Holy Spirit, there is a record in the scriptures of the Holy War Era. The translation into Ansu may not be very accurate..."

After stacking countless armors, Tara said:

"We call him 'Dark Worm'. Legend has it that he is the Mother Goddess... the leader of the six 'Saints of Evil Punishment' who serve under you, and the saint closest to a demigod."

"According to the scriptures, wherever He descends, all the sin and greed deep within people's hearts will be strengthened and released. After all greed and sin are released, the remaining pure souls will be taken to the Kingdom of God, leaving only the remains of the sinful body..."

"The concentrated release of sins ensures the minimum suffering for all... It is also a way to quickly release long-term suffering - this is the doctrine as I understand and interpret it."

Translated, it means that if we turn people into sinners and kill them all, there will be no more suffering in the world?

As expected of the Holy Advent Sect, its teachings are quite weird, completely opposite to the slightly milder atonement teachings of the Savior Goddess Sect.

"What is 'The Saint of Punishment'?"

Ciel asked.

She wasn't worried at all that her questions would arouse Tara's suspicion, because Tara could always find the most appropriate answer to help Charles.

"I hope those ancient teachings have not misinterpreted your meaning..."

Tara said, "They explained it this way—the 'Saints of Evil Punishment' are the 'supervisors' and 'executors' in the hands of the Mother Goddess. They will punish and judge every creature that tarnishes the Mother Goddess's faith, causing their souls and bodies to suffer eternal torture."

Charles: "..."

Now I understand why there is no sense of closeness.

It felt like the "patrol" under the Mother Goddess's throne had really rushed out from the other world. If he didn't run away in time, he might be the first to die.

After all, I am really pretending to be the Mother Goddess. Who knows what the other party will do when they see me.

The actions of these high-level spiritual creatures are somewhat logical. They might actually drag Charles back to the other world for judgment.

"Lord Ciel, what should we do next? Do we need to go greet the Saint?"

Tara couldn't contain her excitement and asked.

Because in Tara's view, she is the most loyal person serving the Mother Goddess and will never be judged by the Dark Worm. She wants to pay homage to the Dark Worm in the holy book.

"No, go to Ansu."

Charles spoke decisively.

At this time, only by going to Ansu can I ensure that I can survive for 24 hours.

161

Chapter 161: Xiaer makes a nest and Ansu is attacked.

In the darkness of night, a steam train loaded with coal sped along the rails towards Ansu.

When passing a small town near the city of Burren, a white shadow suddenly appeared at the rear of the train. Then the white shadow flashed, and Tara's figure appeared at the rear of the train.

She held the railing with her hands. A white shadow was rushing behind the train and jumped onto the rear of the train before passing a stone bridge. The white shadow tore apart and a figure was thrown out from the center of the shadow. Tara hurried forward and held the figure.

At this moment, Charles looked at the scenery of the track behind him constantly moving backwards, and felt a little emotional.

She was familiar with this railway, as it was the same track where the train exploded during the first disaster.

The railway that connects Bolun City directly to Ansu has not been completed. Now this is the only railway that is closest to Bolun City and can lead to the areas around Ansu.

Looking at the sky in the distance, which was flashing like a red aurora in the darkness, Charles still felt a lingering fear in his heart.

Ciel didn't dare to gamble on whether his [Charm] skill would work on that spiritual creature. In order to preserve his own spirit, he could only avoid the attack temporarily.

In addition to this plan, she also wanted to see whether the spiritual creature would chase her.

If it really dares to chase after me, I can see if An Su has the ability to fight it...

This is the influence of the choice that the "Instigator" path brings to Charles, which makes Charles more inclined to make things bigger.

If it was Charles who was under the influence of the "Gambler" potion, he might just stand there and wait. When the spiritual creature came out of the other world, he would use his pocket watch to exceed the limit of the skill [Charm] and try to influence that powerful spiritual creature.

It's either everything or nothing.

Ciel leaned against the railing and breathed a sigh of relief.

The city of Burren may be finished.

Because she could feel that the progress of digesting her potion was advancing rapidly at a tangible speed.
