Chapter 272 The Villain Lady Arrives 100
Alice looked at the people who were enveloped by her holy light, and their faces showed happy and peaceful expressions. Her heart was filled with pride and satisfaction. After this wave of operations, she would definitely gain a lot of faith. However, just as she was immersed in the joy of victory, the atmosphere in the square suddenly changed.
The people who had been enjoying themselves with their eyes closed began to moan in pain and curse. Their faces were distorted and their bodies were shaking violently, as if they were suffering great torture. These sounds resounded throughout the square, catching Alice and the others off guard.
"Lady Saint, what is going on?" The old priest was shocked. He looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.
Alice's face also turned pale. She tightly grasped the holy staff in her hand and forced herself to remain calm: "I'll go down and take a look. You stay here and don't panic."
As she spoke, Alice turned and walked towards the crowd. With every step she took, she felt as if she was stepping on the tip of a knife, and her heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe. She saw that those people who had once prayed devoutly were now suffering greatly, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.
"What's wrong with you? Tell me, who hurt you?" Alice's voice was trembling. She tried hard to suppress her inner fear and tried to find a solution to the problem.
However, the people could not answer her question. They were still immersed in pain and could not extricate themselves. At this moment, a young man struggled to stand up. His face was as pale as paper and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Save me, I don't want to endure this pain anymore!" The young man's voice was crying, and his eyes revealed a desire for life and a fear of death.
Alice's heart suddenly tightened. She quickly took out a small bottle from her bosom, poured a few drops of clear liquid into her palm, and then gently placed it on the young man's forehead. This was the holy water she prepared under the guidance of the God of Light, hoping to alleviate his pain.
However, the miracle did not happen. The bottle of holy water seemed to have no effect on the people, but instead aggravated their suffering. Alice watched this scene in shock, and the panic in her heart spread like a tide.
"How could this happen? This can't be true! This can't be true!" She murmured, taking a few steps back and bumping into a tree behind her. "What on earth happened?"
At the same time, the old pastor also noticed something was wrong, and he rushed over to check. "Lady Saint, what happened? Why are the people in such pain?" The old pastor's voice trembled, and he was obviously shocked by the scene before him.
Alice raised her head and looked towards the sky, trying to find the answer. The sun in the sky was still bright, but it could not illuminate the haze in her heart. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her excitement, but her hands could not stop shaking.
"I don't know... I really don't know. I need to think about it carefully, and we need to make a new plan." Alice's voice was low and firm. She knew she couldn't panic and had to find a solution to the problem as soon as possible.
The square was in chaos at this moment, and the believers looked around in panic, trying to find the source of the problem. However, apart from the painful groans and curses of the people, they did not find anything unusual.
Alice closed her eyes and began to pray silently. She believed that the God of Light would give her guidance and let her find a way to solve all this. Deep in her heart, she firmly believed that she could overcome this difficulty and save these innocent people.
Alice and the people of the God of Light are at a critical juncture, and their faith and power of salvation are facing unprecedented challenges. The originally peaceful and harmonious square has now become a shaky boat in the stormy sea, which may be swallowed by the huge waves at any time.
King Lanster had always been suspicious of Alice and the others, so he personally sent someone to check out the situation on the square. Several armored guards were watching from the edge of the square, their expressions serious and tense, their hands holding their weapons trembling slightly, showing that they were uneasy about the possible conflict.
"Report to the king, something unusual seems to have happened in the square." A guard leader whispered, his eyes revealing worry.
King Lanster heard this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Come on, follow me to take a look."
Led by the king, several guards quickly passed through the crowd and came to the center of the square. They were shocked by the scene before them: the people were groaning in pain, their faces were distorted, and their bodies were shaking violently, as if they were suffering great torture.
"This...what is going on?" the head guard asked stutteringly.
However, Alice and the others knew nothing about this, and they were immersed in their own grief and confusion. The arrival of King Lanster made everyone present feel an inexplicable pressure, and they all turned to look at the supreme ruler, waiting for his judgment.
Alice had regained her composure at this time. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her excitement. She knew that this was a test for her. As the messenger of the God of Light, she had to find a way to solve the problem and save these innocent people.
"Your Majesty," Alice stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Please believe that we have no intention of harming these people. We are trying to find the root cause of the problem and seek a solution."
King Lanster glanced at her, frowning, "Did you cause this?" he asked coldly.
"We don't know why this happened suddenly." Alice answered frankly, "But we swear that we will find out the truth and give the people an explanation."
The king did not speak, but just watched everything in the square silently. His heart was full of doubts and worries, but he also realized that this was not the time to pursue responsibility. He needed to make a decision to deal with this sudden crisis.
At this moment, the young man who had struggled to stand up once again attracted everyone's attention. His face became paler, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body kept shaking. He looked at Alice helplessly, "Save me, I don't want to endure this pain anymore!"
Alice's heart suddenly tightened, and she quickly took out the bottle of precious holy water from her arms. This was the holy water she personally prepared under the guidance of the God of Light, but now it seemed to have become the fuse of this crisis. She fell to the ground resolutely and smeared a few drops of clear liquid on the young man's forehead.
However, the miracle did not happen. On the contrary, the few drops of holy water seemed to have aroused some unknown power, making the young man's pain even more severe. Alice looked at this scene in shock, and the panic in her heart spread like a tide. She knew that she was in a deep predicament at the moment, but she did not give up the hope of finding a solution to the problem.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the square became increasingly tense. Other believers also began to panic and looked around, trying to find the source of the problem. However, apart from the painful groans and curses of the people, they did not find anything unusual.
"Don't panic!" Alice shouted, trying to stabilize the situation. "We will find a solution. The God of Light will bless us!"
