Chapter 20: Pastor

　　 Renn paid the fare and walked into Violet House.
　　 The House of Violet occupies a very large area, and the welcoming hall alone has hundreds of square meters, but the interior decoration is simple, low-key and connotative.
　　 As soon as Ren came in, the eyes of several waitresses at the front desk lit up, and one of them greeted him first, and said with a big smile:
　　 "Sir, welcome to Violet House, how do you call it?"
　　 She wears simple and capable overalls, looks a bit like a white-collar worker from a previous life, with her hair curled up, and a good figure. When she speaks, her eyes fall on Renn's face with a smile in her eyes.
　　 One of the characteristics of Violet House is that the employees in the store are mainly women, and their looks are above the standard. Anyone outside is beautiful.
　　 It is said that the manager in charge of this store is a wood spirit, but he rarely appears in front of ordinary guests.
　　 Renn has been here before, so he was not too surprised, and said directly: "My name is Renn and I want to do a soul test."
　　 "Okay, Mr. Lane, please follow me."
　　 The waitress made a please gesture very gracefully, and then led the way.
　　 Ren followed her through the hall and into a simple and elegant room at the back. The whole room is divided into two parts, separated by a glass window in the middle. You can see that there is a recliner like a dental bed in the compartment inside, and there is an instrument next to the chair.
　　 The half-person-height instrument looks like a metal closet, with an irregular odd-shaped stone on the top. The lower part of the stone is embedded in the metal closet, and the structure inside cannot be seen.
　　 Sitting next to the instrument is a middle-aged woman wearing a long turquoise dress. She holds the metal wire connecting the instrument in her hand, as if injecting energy.
　　 At this moment, there is a man in his twenties who is lying on a chair. He reaches out to touch the stone on the instrument. He closes his eyes, but his face is distorted and pale, his head is sweaty, as if he is enduring great pain.
　　 Outside the glass window, another waitress is watching the movement inside and is timing the tester.
　　 "How long has it been?" the waitress who brought Renne in asked softly.
　　 "I'm already at the intermediate level."
　　 The waitress glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and then said: "Mr. Lane, please wait a moment, this guest should be finishing the test."
"Ok."
　　 Ren nodded. He has not done a soul test, but knows the process of the test.
　　 That instrument is a soul-grinding stone with a soul power transmission device inside. Ask an extraordinary person to inject soul power into the soul-grinding stone on top. Touching it with hands will cause severe pain, simulating a soul-changing ceremony.
　　 But not from the beginning of the test, the pain reached the level of the soul-changing ritual, but with the infusion of soul power, the pain gradually increased.
　　 The first five minutes is the primary pain. After these five minutes, it will increase to the intermediate pain. After another five minutes, it will reach the advanced pain. This is the most painful stage of the true soul transformation ritual.
　　 As long as you persist for five minutes under high-level pain, you are eligible to hold the soul-changing ceremony, and the success rate is close to half!
　　 Of course, the longer you persist, the better and the higher the success rate.
　　 Just about two minutes later, the young man in the test uttered a loud cry, slid his hands on the grindstone, and suddenly sat up from the recliner.
　　 He looked at the wall clock, his face was disappointed, and then he regretted why he couldn't hold on.
　　 The intermediate level of pain does not even last for two minutes. If the soul change ritual is performed, the probability of success is close to zero.
The middle-aged woman who was in charge of activating the Soul Grinding Stone was relieved, and a green light flew out of his fingers to sink into his forehead. Then he stood up, staggered out of the compartment, and sat on the chair outside to rest, responsible for his The waiter brought a cup of tea for him to drink, and his face finally looked good.
　　 "Mr. Lane, you can go in for the test."
　　 Ren took off his coat and gave it to the waitress, and walked into the cubicle.
　　 "Please lie down and relax." The middle-aged woman said gently, her voice sounded tactfully and seemed to have a little vocal skills.
　　 Rain had already noticed from the outside, this woman is a second-level transcendent, and her occupation is a shepherd!
　　 Maybe her professional level is not high, but as a shepherd who can cast spells, no one dares to underestimate it.
The core element of the shepherd is plant compatibility. He is good at manipulating all kinds of plants. Through plant spells, the spell types are all-encompassing. They can heal and destroy. They are also good at summoning and controlling. If you also learn alchemy to refine poisons, then It is killing invisible.
　　 Being able to invite a shepherd to give the guests a free soul test is simply a luxury. The strength of the Violet House makes Renn even more mysterious.
　　 He lay down on the chair, took a deep breath, and put his hand on the grindstone.
　　 "I'm going to start."
　　 As soon as the middle-aged woman's voice fell, Ren felt a heart-wrenching pain coming from his hands and reaching his brain, as if his fingers had been cut off, and he almost jumped from the chair.
　　 He stiffened all over, gritted his teeth, and took a few deep breaths before he could bear it.
　　 Waves of pain invade the brain, like using a knife to repeatedly cut fingers, and it is a very blunt saw blade, which keeps pulling on my pain nerves.
　　 "Damn, it hurts too much."
　　 Ren yelled in his heart. Although he could bear it for the time being, he was not sure whether he could withstand it when the pain reached the intermediate level after five minutes.
　　 "You must divert attention!"
　　 He started counting sheep silently, but he was interrupted by pain when he could count to ten.
　　 then tried to recite the text again.
　　 "The ancient county of Yuzhang, the new mansion of Hongdu. The stars are divided into wings, and the ground is connected to Henglu. Three rivers and five lakes, control, control... control your head, it hurts me to death!"
　　 "The daylight is full of mountains, the water of the Yellow River is coming up from the sky...No, the bed is shining with moonlight, the southeast branch hangs from oneself, and a red apricot comes out of the wall..."
　　 Lane's mind turned upside down, and no one could recite smoothly.
He thought hard, and even began to recall the teachers who have been treasured in the hard drive for many years: Ohashi-sensei, Takaki-sensei, Hatano-sensei, Matsushima-sensei, Mikami, Ishihara-sensei, Utsunomiya-sensei... but none of them worked, terrible. Pain affects all thinking and easily cut off the wonderful performance of the teachers.
　　 Before I knew it, five minutes passed.
　　 Then, a more severe intermediate pain was passed into the brain, this time it was like putting your hand on the fire to grill!
　　 "Who can stand this!"
　　 Ryan bit his mouth firmly and didn't make a scream, his face showed blue veins, and cold sweat quickly dripped from his forehead.
　　 A thought flashed through his mind that the person in front persisted for two minutes, which was too tolerable.
　　 immediately remembered a martyr hero from his previous life, what an admirable great person!
　　 Time passed by, and Ren was still holding on. The right hand on the grindstone was almost stiff, and the blood vessels on the back of his hand protruded, but he pressed the stone firmly and refused to loosen it.
　　 He looked at the wall clock on the wall, the pendulum swayed from side to side regularly, and one second passed with each swing.
　　 But every second of these is a terrible torment, Ren wondered if the wall clock was broken, or why did the pendulum go so slowly?
　　 Two minutes later, Ren was overjoyed. I passed the man in front of me!
　　 Then he thought painfully, there are still three minutes left at this stage.
After 　　, three minutes passed again.
　　 This is the longest three minutes Renn has experienced in his two lifetimes. Before he was lucky, the pain suddenly rose to a high level, which was the most difficult late stage in the soul change test.
　　 This time, it looked like someone had nailed steel nails with thick fingers from the Tianling Gai into the brain, and then stirred them in circles.
　　 Ren couldn't help but let out a muffled hum, and his whole body began to tremble.
　　 "If you can't hold on, just tell me." The middle-aged woman's voice rang in her ears. She was afraid that Rennes would be too painful to cause her body to become stiff, and she could not even let go.
　　 "No, use..." Renn slowly squeezed out two words.
　　 One minute later, it feels like a century in Rennes.
　　 Then another century passed, his consciousness was almost blurred and he was on the verge of collapse.
　　 In the third minute of high-level pain, Renn's mind was blank, and he couldn't even think about it. The move to divert attention didn't work anymore. He insisted purely on his own will.
　　 In the last two minutes, Renn didn't know how he got through it.
　　 When the wall clock skipped five minutes, his will almost let go, trying to withdraw his hand.
　　 "No! I can still hold on, try where my limit is." After the five-minute mark, Renn seemed to have broken through a realm, and he actually held it for another three minutes.
　　 The few people present all watched nervously, not daring to make a noise. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
　　 Ryan closed his eyes, his attention fluttered everywhere, and when he was about to be unable to hold on, he scanned the small red flower in the corner of his vision and opened the phone interface.
　　 At this time, he couldn't think at all, he just messed up the interface.
　　 Inadvertently, the music player was turned on.
　　 A beautiful melody sounded in my head: the sunset on the horizon once again reflected on my face, once again reflected on my restless heart, where this place is still so desolate, the endless journey is so long...
　　 Lane was immediately attracted by the singing, and wondered what song is this?
　　 Immediately, he noticed that the pain diminished!
　　 Ryan was overjoyed, listened to the song intently, and hummed the lyrics silently in his heart. As expected, the pain eased little by little. Although it hasn't weakened to the point where it doesn't hurt at all, it's probably reduced from high-level pain to beginner, but this is completely within the range he can bear.
　　 And, as he sang seriously, the pain is still fading further.
　　 After the two songs, the pain has alleviated to the point of being caught in the head by a door. It can't even compare with the primary pain, and it is easy to stick to it.
　　 "Unexpectedly, one day, I would feel so cool to be caught in the door..."
　　 Lane thought dumbfoundingly.
　　 even after listening to a few songs, there is no point in testing it, so he put his hand back.
　　 The pain disappeared immediately, Ren exhaled and returned to his senses, and found that the middle-aged woman sitting next to him was looking at him in a daze, as if he had seen a ghost.
　　 It's not just her, the compartments outside the glass windows are already full of people, including the waitresses of Violet House and the guests in several shops.
　　 When they saw Renn stop, they all exclaimed, their eyes full of incredible.
