Savior Simulator
Chapter 1043 Masquerade
When Lisa was studying in seminary, there was a course dedicated to teaching the ecology of various demons, including eagle demons.
Seeing the disgusting mold growing on the body of the celestial bull, she immediately recalled the knowledge she had learned in class, took out a bottle of holy water, and sprinkled it on the bull, quickly killing all the parasitic spores on its body and getting rid of the pain.
The next thing that needs to be dealt with is the noble young man rescued from the iron cage.
The ten people were all members of the Hellfire Club. It stands to reason that after escaping from death, they would be eager to escape from Wycombe Abbey.
The strange thing is that when Lisa asked them to leave, these noble young people showed hesitation.
After some inquiring, I learned that they all held a ridiculous obsession and believed that they would never be happy again in life after leaving Wycombe Abbey.
"Obviously, these stupid playboys are possessed and cursed by the enchanted demon who calls himself the 'Connoisseur of Souls'. Unless the curse is lifted for them, they will not leave here willingly." Claire guessed.
Gao Fei recalled the rash wish Sir Dashwood made in front of Saratus, which coincided with the abnormal mental state of the group of noble youths in the courtyard, and then used the "Dispersion Technique" on them. See if you can lift the curse placed upon them by Sarathruth.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed with the result.
Lisa tried to use "secondary restoration" to treat a possessed young aristocratic man, but there was no improvement.
"'Removing Curse' may be effective, but it's a pity that I haven't learned this 3-ring magic." Lisa sighed helplessly, and then said to Gao Fei, "There is only one way left now, which is to kill Saratus. Eliminate the source of the curse and the curse placed on the club members will be automatically lifted."
Gao Fei nodded, turned to look for Umberto, and asked him to send some gang gunmen in to guard the noble youths in the courtyard.
After the arrangements were made, Gao Fei and his party walked through the courtyard and entered the main building of Wycombe Abbey from the main entrance - a majestic and majestic cathedral with a long history.
The originally solemn church has long been transformed into a dance hall full of depravity by the "Hellfire Club".
The red-carpeted hall was illuminated by candlelight, soothing piano music echoed on the dance floor, and the light blue mist from the incense burner was enchanting.
Through the hazy smoke, Goofy saw a pianist in a tuxedo playing a waltz.
On the dance floor, about twenty pairs of scantily clad men and women were dancing, all wearing masks of different shapes on their faces.
It was obvious that a masquerade was taking place in the church hall.
Lisa sniffed the scent of incense and quickly covered her nose, looking wary.
"Everyone, be careful. The incense in the dance hall is very strange. It seems to be some kind of hallucinogen!"
Hearing her warning, everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses.
Mario pried open the window, and the cool evening breeze flowed in through the window, blowing away the smoke nearby.
After taking a few breaths of fresh air, everyone's minds regained their clarity.
"This is a special kind of incense." Umberto whispered. "The spices are mixed with opium paste and hallucinogen, a cactus extract native to the New World. When inhaled, people will fall into hallucinations. Produce a strong sense of euphoria.”
"Paul mentioned before that in order to imitate the drow coming-of-age ceremony, the club purchased a batch of expensive incense. It must be this kind of thing." Gao Fei said thoughtfully.
"Look at the men and women in the ballroom, they are all dancing tirelessly, like a group of drunkards. They are clearly symptoms of being intoxicated." Claire whispered, "Lisa, can your 'Secondary Restoration Technique' work? Awakening someone from a trance?"
"If you just inhale the incense, it is not difficult to detoxify. Unfortunately, these people inhaled the incense that Saratus had strengthened with magic, and the 'secondary restoration technique' will not be able to do anything."
Lisa shrugged and sighed.
"Unless we take them out of Wycombe Abbey and get rid of the curse of Saratus, we can try to detoxify them. The problem is...this group of men and women who are addicted to having fun are definitely not willing to leave the ballroom."
After listening to her analysis, Gao Fei had an idea and suddenly thought of a possibility. He took out his handkerchief, soaked it with holy water, covered his face with it to block the fragrance that filled the hall, and walked against the wall to the pianist. .
The noble men and women in the hall were all immersed in their own carnival, and no one paid attention to Gao Fei's actions.
Lisa and others looked at him, unable to hide their nervousness.
Gao Fei stopped behind the pianist and hummed casually to the accompaniment of the piano.
His singing voice is not beautiful, but with the blessing of the "Poet Mask", the magical singing echoed in the dance hall and was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears. It was like a cool stream cleansing the body and mind, making people feel energetic and changing their minds. Gotta be extra sober.
Gao Fei is singing a "calming song".
This kind of supernatural music has the exact opposite function of "ecstasy" and can suppress most of the negative states that confuse people, such as "ecstasy" and "fear".
In addition, "Soothing Song" can also suppress those emotions that have a beneficial effect, such as the "Rage" of the Berserker, and the morale buff provided by the 3-ring spell "Heroism".
Just as Gao Fei guessed, when people in the ballroom heard the "Tranquility Song", they stopped dancing one after another, stood there, took off their masks, and revealed their true faces.
The expressions on the faces of these noble men and women of different appearances gradually changed from drug-like infatuation to confusion and bewilderment. They seemed to finally wake up and realize that their behavior was a bit abnormal.
However, when Gao Fei stopped singing the "Requiem", the expressions on people's faces became confused again, and they began to dance in pairs again.
This experiment shows that the "Requiem" can only temporarily restore the sobriety of people who are in a trance, but it cannot eradicate their symptoms.
Gao Fei sang the "Requiem" again to comfort the people in the dance hall, but he was very anxious and caught in a dilemma.
He couldn't perform the "Requiem" endlessly, so what should he do next?
Claire also noticed this problem and walked quickly to a noble lady who was closest to her, intending to take advantage of her sobriety under the effect of the "Requiem" to inquire about the situation inside the monastery.
However, she had just taken two steps when she was grabbed by Lisa behind her.
"Sister Claire, don't get close to that woman!" Lisa lowered her voice and looked alert.
"What's wrong, Lisa?" Claire turned back in confusion.
"That woman was not controlled by the incense at all. She was awake the whole time. She just pretended to be unconscious. She was thinking vicious thoughts in her mind. If you get close to her, she will pounce on you and bite your throat!"
