They all call me the Outer God

Chapter 26: Ritual Lantern

Although she was unwilling, Leah still had to admire James. If it weren't for him, she might have been captured and made into a specimen for people to see.

"The next thing will be easy. Use four mysterious objects to ask the truth one by one. It's easy to reveal the answer and you can know the truth immediately.

It will be over soon."

He showed a confident look, divided the mysterious objects in front of him into two groups, and asked one by one whether the mysterious object group represented by the text in front of the Batantusa coin was the target he was looking for.

The coin was thrown up and fell, and the real answer made Leah's face paler and paler.

The first answer.

[No]

The two mysterious objects were ruled out.

Next, ask whether the single mysterious object in front of you is the target.

The answer is still [No], which also makes Leah have a new understanding of his luck.

Two questions, two costs... plus the first question, a total of three organs were paid.

Three eyes.

"Ugh--"

The feeling of having his eyes taken away from his body was not pleasant. After a moment, Riya was sweating and holding onto the corner of the table. If he was a little weaker, he would fall to the ground.

He never thought that the coin could take away the eyes on his knees, nor did he think that there were eyes there.

The knees are important joints that support the balance of the body. The lost eyes seemed to have settled on the joint bones for a long time, so Riya almost fell down the moment the eyes disappeared.

Thanks to his quick reaction, he quickly supported the table the moment his body lost balance.

"... Knees, shoulders and back, this is the first time I hate that my perception is so clear." Riya remained motionless for a long time before his face gradually returned to normal.

It was all worth it.

After eliminating three wrong answers, [Crystal Mushroom], [Inedible Gold Foil] and [Fragmented Cross], the only remaining mysterious item was [Dream Lamp].

The smell alone can make people fall into illusions. Riya speculated that this should be something that can be ignited, and after igniting it, the mysterious item will emit a unique odor.

"Speaking of ignitable lamps, kerosene lamps are also a type, but the kerosene lamps in the house have no kerosene at all, so it is impossible to ignite them."

"I saw many different types of burning lamps in the church."

The Church of the Sun worships the bright sun, and naturally worships fire.

Their lamps are placed on the walls of the long corridor, with crystal covers covering the flames. The light of the flames shines through the crystals, giving people a colorful illusion.

Even during the day, believers can feel the winding light of the crystal lamps.

The most important point is that the church's fire lamps have a highly recognizable smell. Whenever you pass through that corridor, you can feel a light woody fragrance, which is completely different from the smell of the streets outside the church. It makes people feel more peaceful, as if they have really stepped into a peaceful country blessed by the gods.

Perhaps the mysterious object is still in the church.

Riya rubbed the surface of the coin with his fingers, wanting to ask it a few more times, but this time, he couldn't do it anyway while holding the coin.

The pain in the body will not deceive the brain, and his instinct is to prevent himself from hurting himself further.

No one can remain indifferent to the pain of losing an eye, at least not today.

Thinking of this, he simply put away the Batantusa coin and headed directly to the church.

There is indeed a unique magic there that can calm people's hearts. Thinking of the help given by the other party when he prayed to the Shining Sun last time, Ria's favorability towards Him increased again.

There is a reason why believers spend a lot of money to repair the church for God. When a god can really respond to believers and solve their troubles, they will go forward at all costs to become the most docile lambs of God.

Based on this point, the Sun is worthy of its name.

Ria thought so.

A few dozen minutes later, he stood in front of the church again and followed the guidance of the pastor to worship.

Ria mixed into the edge of the crowd, listened to the praises of the sun by the people around him, closed his eyes, and tried to find the different special smells of fire.

But the voices of the people praying around him were so loud that they could easily distract him. The church's architectural structure would cause these voices to echo when they reached the top, giving Riya a strange sense of unreality.

In a trance, he looked up at the perfectly carved statue of the Rising Sun and began to chant His call in his heart, hoping to get guidance from the Rising Sun.

"The new star in the land of life and death."

"The center of the rotation of all things."

"By using the flame to cut through the day and night."

"I am waiting in the boundless place."

After reciting a few words of the call, the woody scent on the side of the nose became stronger with each recitation, almost to the point where it could not be ignored.

Riya seemed to feel something unusual and immediately hurriedly recited the last few words.

"Sing praises to the Rising Sun, pay tribute to the Rising Sun, become the Rising Sun——"

The woody scent almost became real.

"Found you!!!"

He took a deep breath, trembling all over, suddenly turned back, and stretched out his hand in the direction of the strong smell.

There was a priest holding a fire lamp and performing a soul purification ritual. When he saw someone trying to snatch the lamp, his first reaction was to protect the lamp with disbelief on his face.

“Why are you trying to snatch a lamp?!”

The priest’s voice was not loud, but it made everyone stop worshipping and turn their heads to look over here.

Riya's eyes were calm, but his tone revealed a surprising stubbornness: "That thing is a dangerous item, it must be destroyed immediately!"

As he said that, he rushed forward and grabbed the lamp, smashed it hard on the ground, and the huge breaking sound echoed in the hall.

"Bang!!!"

For a while, the whole hall was terribly quiet.

But Riya didn't care about these. He had destroyed the mysterious item and no longer had to worry about being persecuted by it. As for what others think of him, what does it have to do with him.

People's instinctive reaction will seek a direction that is beneficial to their survival, and what Riya has to do is to eliminate things that threaten themselves.

"You don't even know that you are being used by others."

The strange wood fragrance in the air disappeared, and Riya was also driven out as a mental patient. He was not angry, on the contrary, he felt refreshed now.

The priest frowned: "I don't understand what you are talking about. The lamp is a ritual item used for purification. It has always retained the original smell of burning mahogany."

"Really? Do you have any evidence to prove that it has not been replaced?"

Riya laughed in anger. Maybe the original body came to the church to seek help, but he smelled the unique smell of the dream lamp and was used by someone. He ran out of the house in a trance and was caught and stuffed into a coffin.

The usual lamp may not work when it burns, but once someone is willing to pay the price for its effect, the consequences will be disastrous.

This is also thanks to the guidance of the shining sun. If it were not for him, he would not have discovered that the dream lamp existed behind him in an instant.

"Praise the sun."
