Chapter 14 Saint Lan Monastery

You press him further: "Have you ever had mental health issues? Do you remember how long you've been here?"

He rubbed his head, thought for a moment, and continued, "I was trafficked into a monastery. After taking their medicine, I was gradually corrupted and brainwashed into becoming a monk. I don't remember many things clearly."

"My memories of my illness are hazy, but I know the legends about MT, which include the concept of 'harvesting, killing and selling on the spot.' Doctors and priests are usually the ones who become the harvesters; they are believers in gods."

"You look confused. Isn't this an organ transplant? How did it become a MT (Manufacturing Target)?"

"What is MT?"

"MT is a kind of drug that is said to enhance magical power, or magical power. It is especially popular among the rich. I don't know any other details," he explained to you.

"This believer's words have dispelled your previous suspicions that this monastery was involved in the sale of human organs. No wonder that cloaked man was talking about becoming stronger; it seems he was probably turning people into MT drugs."

"I wonder how this so-called MT is made. Is it made by turning human bodies into medicine?"

"Was the mummy-like heart-shaped person we saw on the basement level an MT?"

"You're afraid of being taken advantage of too, so you can only hope that the truth can be found out soon and deal with it carefully."

"The word 'harvest' makes you feel uneasy, as if it means killing someone first and then removing their organs."

"You're starting to regret it; you shouldn't have killed those four priests and nuns so directly."

"If we force them, we might be able to get some information out of them."

"Tell this believer to figure out how to escape on his own."

"Or he could just hide in the ventilation ducts and endure the hunger; whether he survives or not is up to fate."

"You have left the ventilation duct and are preparing to return to the prayer room you were in before."

"Are you thinking that if you refuse to pray in the simulation, will you be exploited?"

...

"You were still in the toilet when the bells rang throughout the prayer chapel."

"It's been more than half an hour since you came out of room 404. The nun in the bathroom has woken up, and she and Daniel are looking for you everywhere."

"The blood of the four priests you killed has filled the prayer room and has already been discovered by other priests."

"At this moment, there are waiters and monks on every floor of the prayer church, searching back and forth for you, who are suspicious, and the pilgrim who escaped."

"Soon, the waiter came towards the restroom."

"And you, just as you came out of the restroom, you bumped into two or three waiters."

"We're going to die anyway, so we might as well find out what these waiters really are."

"So you took out your handy weapon, this time a terrifying monster baseball bat."

"I'll beat you to a pulp!" You swung your baseball bat and smashed it down on the group of people.

"Compared to the nunchaku last time, this baseball bat is clearly much more effective."

"The baseball bat possessed a strange power; with this strike, the first waiter who rushed up was struck, letting out a piercing scream."

"Black blood kept oozing from his body, and black smoke was spreading."

The remaining two waiters seemed somewhat wary of you, but they didn't leave.

"The monsters are the antidote to the strange powers, so you deftly swing your baseball bat, wanting to test the limits of these monsters and how to kill them."

"The waiter roared in terror, and a sinister aura emanated from him, making your scalp tingle."

"Now you know why there are so many servants in the monastery, a full twenty."

"After all, the monastery doesn't do anything legitimate; it sells things related to the human body."

"The hospital director was afraid that patients and other doctors would cause trouble, so the security was quite good. He probably controlled the priests and nuns through the staff."

"You probed little by little, and the waiter had no chance to resist under your terrifying monster."

"The other two waiters have become delirious and are rushing towards you, drooling."

"The other doctors didn't seem surprised to see the waiter acting this way, as if they were used to it."

"The waiter who was closest to you only hit him on the top of the head five times before his mask shattered."

"The physical body was charred and burned at a visible speed, and then turned to ashes."

"You don't have any supernatural power right now, so you can't sense the terror of the supernatural creatures. You just feel that the baseball bat in your hand looks no different from usual."

"In fact, the eerie aura emanating from the baseball bat was extremely strong, to a terrifying level."

"The other two waiters each grabbed one of your arms and wouldn't let go, but they weren't as strong as you. You just lifted them up and slammed them to the ground, alternating between left and right."

"You quickly broke free from the waiter's control."

"The fighting attracted other waiters and even more priests. They were all surprised to see that you could handle a waiter with strange powers."

A group of waiters surrounded you and restrained you.

"You've been caught, and now there are only two possible outcomes."

"They'll either harvest you immediately or lock you back in the basement, where the Mummy Heart Man awaits you."

"But you are not afraid of any of these. No matter which one it is, you can find out more information."

"Just as you predicted, a group of them grabbed you, confiscated your strange items, took off your hat, stripped Daniel of his clothes, tied you up, and took you to the basement."

"On your way from the infirmary to the basement, observe the staff as closely as possible."

"You find that they don't seem to have any emotions, after all, they're not normal humans."

"Like, the walking dead."

"To be confirmed again, the waiter is definitely acting strangely."

...

"Upon reaching the basement level, several people suddenly shoved you into a room."

"The lighting was still dim, creating a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere."

"You were brought in bound this time, so you could only hold your breath as much as possible."

"The blood vessels connecting the mummy and the floating heart make you wonder if for every cultist who dies, the mummy gains another heart. That's why the person who wrote the clue called it the Heart Man. It seems that person was also brought here."

"This mummy is clearly not the same one as the last one, although it is still wrapped in bandages and covered in sticky blood."

Before you could analyze or observe any further, he bared his teeth and ripped your heart out.

"Your will is shattered, your will is restored."

"Simulation complete! Current Weirdness value: 0 points; Survival time: 54 minutes."

Real time continued, and Wen Qi suddenly opened her eyes and took a deep breath.

The simulated experience of having his heart ripped out by a mummy just a second ago was still vivid in his mind, and he was too terrified to resist.

The basement level actually hides more than one mummy with hearts inserted into its body, serving as heart donors. Are they MT drugs? Is this why they have this form of heart-shaped mummy?

These waiters are all strange; they can be eliminated by supernatural creatures.

However, Wen Qi didn't have time to think too much right now; she needed to fool Daniel first, as he was still lying under the bed.
