Chapter 223: Bright Moon Consciousness, Desperate Tia

As Lin En's calm words slowly fell, in an instant, the Creation Demon's resentful and sinister expression froze on his face.

Not only Him, the young man's words seemed to carry some kind of great magic, and the dark waves that were raging everywhere just now suddenly subsided, as if God pressed his pocket watch and let time stop at this moment.

But this is certainly not the power of God.

Ever since the witch lady stopped responding to his prayers, Lin En, as a person abandoned by God, was destined to not receive any response from any god.

In the final analysis, the current situation was caused simply by the three sentences he just said.

Those three wishes were like a spell that could seal the devil, locking up the last hope and reliance of the devil.

At this moment, He finally reacted and realized that His body was like being petrified and could no longer move. A hint of panic and despair emerged in His eyes, and the look He gave Lin En also changed.

That was a look of retreat and begging for mercy.

Obviously, when Yuvilia heard Lin En's three wishes, she instantly understood the other party's intentions after having already integrated with the core characteristics of the wishing jar.

However, once you start making a wish, the process cannot be interrupted.

Especially now that He has lost all His power, only a wisp of consciousness without independent ability remains.

So even though she understood the other party's intentions, she was completely helpless.

In fact, long before he encountered the Wishing Jar, Lin En had come across a sealed object that was very similar to it.

That's right.

It was the Greedy Box that gave Yvesthete a headache when she first met her.

Of course, compared to the Wishing Jar, the Greedy Box at that time was just a Level 1 Sealed Object, and its danger level was much lower. After the transaction was completed, it was released by Lin En, and no one knows where it is now.

But there is one thing in common between the two.

That is the same cheating rule.

After all, the only purpose of making this type of seal is to tease life, thereby collecting human fear and despair as spiritual food for some indescribable existence.

Because no matter what wish you make, it will only come true in the worst way in the end.

So from the very beginning, when he came to this spiritual world, Lin En never thought about realizing any wishes from the core characteristics.

His only purpose is to borrow the opponent's power.

If they refuse to cooperate, we will have to resort to some extraordinary means.

For the Wishing Jar, Lin En adopted a strategy similar to that when facing the Greed Box.

The core characteristics at the moment have long been sealed by Miss Witch and have become much weaker. Therefore, even ordinary people without any extraordinary powers can easily subdue it after knowing the corresponding methods.

Yes, it is a paradox.

For seals like these that prioritize enforcing rules over their own consciousness, the only way to easily defeat them is by using paradox.

Think about it carefully.

The three wishes that Lin En made did not follow the desires buried deep in his heart, nor were they directed at himself, so the result would naturally not be the ruthless mockery of the wishing jar.

The wishes he made were very simple, yet interconnected.

It was like a precise and concise program that blocked the last escape route of the core features, causing its limited intelligence to enter an infinite loop of downtime for an endless amount of time.

First of all, there is no priority distinction among the three wishes.

This means that the first wish and the second wish are contradictory in any case.

You can't choose between "do the opposite" and "don't do it".

Once wish one is followed, wish two will inevitably be violated.

Once wish two is followed, it means that wish one has not been fulfilled.

Putting this aside, wish three is another extremely subtle paradox.

However, once wish three is fulfilled, causing the core characteristic to forget all previous wishes, the core rules of the wishing jar will be violated.

If the core characteristic chooses to forget, it means violating Lin En’s second wish - not to realize the third wish.

These are three points that cannot coexist no matter what.

Therefore, at the moment when Lin En made these three wishes, the Wishing Jar, as an extremely powerful Level 0 Sealed Object, the core characteristics of which were a fusion of the Creation Demon Yuvilia, inevitably fell into a state of freeze.

But it does not have the option to restore to factory settings like the Greedy Box.

After all, when the ancient gods first created it, they set the rule that "any wish will come true."

As time passed, the Creation Demon Yuvilia and the surrounding dark waves gradually disintegrated and dissipated in the non-existent breeze like passing quicksand.

Until the very last second, there was still a hint of disbelief, as well as unprecedented pleading and regret in His eyes.

Although these three wishes could preserve her last bit of consciousness until her death, after her only support fell into a vicious circle, she no longer had the ability to resist Lin En.

Not only Him, but even the core characteristics will become a toy in Lin En's hands - of course, provided that he can pay the price to use it.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

"I gave you a chance." Looking at the graceful Black Swamp woman not far away, Lin En shrugged, "Unfortunately, you didn't choose to cherish it."

As he said this, a ball of dark light containing countless abstract symbols suddenly appeared before his eyes.

This was the thing that Lin En took over when he stood in front of Yvesette in the underground ruins of the Sauron Mountains.

At this moment, it seemed as if everything was completely quiet, floating slowly not far away.

The boy did not hesitate, walked quickly forward and stared at it carefully for a while.

Then, he grasped it in his palm without hesitation.

"Where are you going?"

The moment Sister Grete's gloomy voice rang in my ears, a creepy feeling ran through my body.

Tia, who was about to escape from the Church of Silence through the secret passage, froze in place. Then she started and turned around in an instant to look in the direction of the sound.

Then, magical candles lit up one after another, illuminating the dark night clearly and brightly.

Looking at the church members who appeared around him at some point, those familiar yet unfamiliar faces were now filled with indifference and seriousness.

The nuns who usually took good care of her also became extremely unfamiliar to her.

The leader among them was Sister Grete. Under the light of the candle, her face was covered with shadows, and her expressionless look brought people unprecedented psychological pressure.

Tia clenched the Moonlight Scepter in her hands, subconsciously took two steps back, and then pretended to be calm and showed a forced smile: "Sister, Sister, I was just about to go to the Saint's Prayer Hall to practice the ritual content of the Moonlight Canon. Why haven't you slept yet?"

If they knew my true purpose, I would be doomed!

So at this moment, she tried to make the atmosphere look relaxed while looking around covertly, trying to find a chance to escape.

Even now, she has not given up her plan to leave the church and look for Lynn.

If even she gave up, then who else in the world would save him? It was with this thought that Tia remained calm and stood here.

Seeing this, a strange look appeared in Sister Grete's eyes, but the gloom on her face remained.

Under normal circumstances, she would have sincerely admitted her mistake and prayed to the Moon Goddess.

"I am very disappointed in you." Finally, Sister Grete walked up slowly, looked down at the girl in front of her, and said coldly, "Lying is not a good habit, and the church has never taught you this."

"Your Excellency, it seems that you have really changed a lot during the few days you were missing."

The middle-aged nun slowly raised her hand, pinched Tia's chin, and lifted it up with force.

Feeling the other person's deep gaze, the girl's heart began to beat wildly.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about, Sister."

“Still lying!!!”

Sister Grete, who usually does not smile, suddenly screamed.

Her expression seemed to change instantly, the wrinkles on her face twisted together, and she looked extremely angry.

"You obviously want to find that despicable and shameless rebel!!!"

In an instant, a purple curse mark appeared on Sister Grete's fingertips.

As the light bloomed, an invisible spiritual whip lashed Tia's consciousness fiercely.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"ah!!!"

The girl groaned in pain, and the scepter in her hand fell to the ground. Her already pale face became even more bloodless, and her body swayed as she fell to the ground.

However, at Sister Grete's signal, two nuns who were fairly familiar with her came out immediately, with cold expressions on their faces, and supported her body on the left and right.

Although it was support, the posture was more like suppressing a prisoner.

"Be gentle." Seeing this, Sister Grete's expression changed instantly, and she quickly scolded, "Don't hurt this body!"

"yes."

The two nuns were a little frightened and immediately relaxed their hands and feet.

It's strange.

Sister Gretel's actions were extremely contradictory.

He was clearly using mental whipping on her one second, but in the next he was afraid that she would be physically injured.

It was as if in her heart, this body had a much higher priority than "Tia Euhsti".

This unprecedented sense of disharmony, mixed with intense fear and shock, swept through Tia's heart.

In her impression, although Sister Grete always looked very strict and her teaching policy was to keep her away from the outside world, this kind of mental punishment was the first time.

A feeling of fear arose spontaneously.

While enduring the intense pain coming from her mind, Tia looked around.

What came into view were familiar faces, but the expressions on their faces at the moment made her feel extremely unfamiliar.

"You guys." Thinking of this, Tia seemed to realize something and raised her head in disbelief, "Where is Louise?!"

When she saw that her good friend did not show up here, the kind-hearted Tia instantly became panicked.

"You can't even take care of yourself, but you still care about the leaker?" Seeing this, Sister Grete said expressionlessly, "But since Your Excellency the Saint wants to know, I'll tell you."

"The church has privately notified you numerous times that it is strictly forbidden to disclose any information related to the wanted fugitive Lynn Bartleron to you."

"But she ignored this, which indirectly led to you making the wrong choice tonight."

"As a clergyman of the Church of Silence, you have committed an unforgivable sin, so you have been imprisoned in the underground prison of the Inquisition, awaiting the final judgment."

"But since it involves Her Excellency the Saint and the secrets of the church, she will most likely face the death penalty. At the very least, she will face life imprisonment."

Sister Grete's ruthless words fell slowly.

In an instant, Tia's body was radiant with an unprecedented moonlight.

Without any hesitation, she chose to fight the other party.

Now her freedom was restricted, and even Louise was implicated. Apart from forcibly escaping, Tia could not think of any way out of the predicament.

But faced with so many former colleagues, even Sister Grete, whom she respected very much, she couldn't bring herself to kill them.

Therefore, Tia's ending can be said to have been predetermined.

Along with a flash of purple light, a mental whipping that was countless times stronger than before came again, causing the extraordinary power that Tia had finally stimulated to dissipate in an instant.

Her body trembled violently, and she sobbed, enduring indescribable pain.

"Why?"

With her eyes unfocused, Tia lost the ability to resist. Crystal clear saliva was faintly flowing from her lips, and even her voice became unclear.

But she still retained some hope.

Sister Grete looked down at her, with a hint of pity and mockery in her eyes.

"Your Excellency, this is the first and last time I address you this way." She slowly lifted Tia's chin. "Perhaps the illusions created by the church on a daily basis have given you some unnecessary fantasies, but the Moonlight Canon is approaching, and as your last short time in this world, I hope you can understand one thing."

"The gentleness and indulgence we usually show are never directed at the individual Tia Yuhesti. Even all the people in the church who know about it have hated you to the core all these years and have tried to find a way to get rid of you."

"After all, if it weren't for your mistake, the goddess would have already completed her resurrection."

"But now that things have come to this, there is no point in telling you this."

"Take her to the Divine Moon Gap. Be careful not to harm the goddess' vessel."

"Also, remember to adjust the effect of the Painful Illusion to its maximum power and see if you can completely erase this 'error' in the container before Bright Moon's consciousness descends."

Still not awake? Inside the room, looking at the boy who was sleeping on the bed, Hilina frowned slightly.

At this moment, a whole night has passed since the boy fell into coma after hearing the bell.

Hillina still had official business to attend to, so she had already changed her clothes and was ready to leave the mansion.

Because of the deal reached between the two, she didn't want to expose Lin En's whereabouts for the time being, so she planned to let him stay in the room and make plans after he came back.

By the way, it seemed that she had received an invitation from the Church of Silence tonight, inviting her to attend the ceremony and participate in the God's Descent Ceremony of the Moonlight Scripture.

Not only her, but all the powerful nobles in the imperial capital received invitations.

This is also one of the ways the Church of Silence flexes its muscles.

There are so many troubles.

Thinking of this, Hillina sighed, then rang the bell on the table and called the head maid whom she trusted the most.

"Don't let anyone enter my room before I come back." Xilina whispered, "If the person inside wakes up, no matter what they ask for, try to satisfy them. In short, try to hold him back."

Hearing this, the head maid nodded, but after taking a look into the room, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"But Your Highness, there seems to be no one in your room?"

Hillelina subconsciously turned her head to look, and then froze in place.

While she was speaking, the boy had disappeared on the bed without her noticing.

(ps: I was dragged to a dinner party on New Year's Day yesterday. I drank too much and blacked out. I was groggy all day and couldn't write anything. Anyway, I'm really sorry. I beg for your forgiveness. I will make up for the overdue updates later.) (End of this chapter)
