Chapter 36 Saint Lan Monastery

"Qi Jia is no longer in the mood to argue with you. He never expected to be defeated by a half-demon like you."

Qi Jia sighed and said, "I'm not exactly the real Qi Jia, but I haven't lied to you either."

"He may just be a child, but he knows everything. Don't judge his intelligence by your own."

You: "...Then who are you?"

Qi Jia: "I would say I'm an older brother who split off from his main personality. Sometimes when he encounters difficulties he can't solve, he'll let me out."

"Since you've seen through me, I have nothing more to say. Kill me or do whatever you want."

"That's exactly what you've been waiting for," you said, feigning composure and speaking calmly, "Sign with me, and I'll take you to kill someone."

Upon hearing this, Qi Jia remained silent for several seconds, seemingly deep in thought or perhaps lost in thought.

After a long pause, Qi Jia finally spoke, "What do I need to do?"

"No rush."

"You have finished the simulation."

"Simulation complete! Current anomaly value: 15 points. Simulation duration: 4 minutes."

The simulation went smoothly, and Wen Qi acted accordingly.

...

Live stream chat:

"This is so fake! This live stream doesn't even look like a supernatural world. That child is obviously weird, but he doesn't attack her!"

"Say it again! Is it fake? Is it fake? Can't you use your brains before you start working as a spies and trolls!"

"That's right, they say it's not a creepy world, but then they say that child is creepy."

"This is hilarious. The Chosen Ones can't beat our Dragon Kingdom, so they resort to barrage attacks."

"Why do the Chosen Ones of the Dragon Kingdom seem so strong? Where did they get their items?"

"I don't know if what Qi Jia said is true or false, but with so many children and young people disappearing frequently, isn't anyone going out to look for them?"

"Me too. It reminds me of past news reports about children mysteriously disappearing. Could it be...?"

"Now that you mention it, I'm trembling with fear. My mind is filled with the thought that even on Earth, people secretly steal kidneys and sell them."

In the live stream, Wen Qi began to threaten Qi Jia.

Most viewers did not doubt that Qi Jia was not a child based on the previous Q&A between Qi Jia and Wen Qi.

After all, there was absolutely no reason to associate or suspect anything based on his appearance and voice.

They only focused on the mind-blowing clues that Qi Jia revealed.

...

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for gaining the strange approval. A contract is about to be signed. Please specify the contract terms.]

What are the contents of the contract?

Of course, it's about risking one's life to protect oneself.

"Contract contents: Unconditional protection of the parasite host, time limit: until the Saint Lan Monastery dungeon is cleared and the parasite host leaves the strange world."

The moment Qi Jia saw the contents of the contract, her face turned ashen, as if she had eaten shit.

If I don't leave the eerie world, wouldn't my entire life as an eerie being be ruined?

However, he dared not speak out against his anger.

"Don't worry, the longest it will take to clear customs is no more than half a month," Wen Qi said.

"Let me warn you in advance: don't feel like the days are dragging on, because the days will actually feel even longer."

"Or perhaps, to protect me, you close your eyes and never open them again, and your strange life will be over."

Qi Jia: ......

He must leave as soon as his term expires; it must not become an indefinite sentence.

The agreement was quickly signed through the system.

[Congratulations, host, on your fusion with the terrifyingly bizarre—Whale Ghost]

【Whale Ghost】The Gluttonous Ghost

[Level] Terrifying

[Ability] Sonic attack

[Strange Power] 8

Wen Qi: ......

What the hell is the use of this gluttony ability?

Even if I risked ten lives, I probably couldn't protect myself!

This is what's called the terrifying level, with only 8 points of weird power.

Is the system kidding itself?!

If I don't use any strange objects, wouldn't that mean I'm already in a dangerous situation?

Wen Qi sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

Viewers watching the live stream were confused about Wen Qi's current situation.

"Among the chosen ones of the past, there has never been a case where a chosen one was able to communicate well with the supernatural."

"Sister 7 has now found a very capable assistant."

"The word 'deli' is quite intriguing; it seems he can't even beat Sister 7."

...

Having completed the contract, Wen Qi returned to the second floor.

I wonder when the dean will discover that Qi Jia is missing.

Therefore, we must speed up the process of finding out the truth.

After lingering in the lobby for a while, Wen Qi finally dashed out.

Wen Qi went straight to the restaurant, where she might be able to find some clues.

There is one hour left until evening prayers.

Apart from the chef, there was no one else in the restaurant.

The restaurant's rules stipulate that people are not allowed to enter the restaurant outside of mealtimes, and are also prohibited from entering the kitchen or touching the chef's knife.

Since there are so many rules, there must be some secrets that cannot be known to others.

Now that I'm the head chef, I'm unrestricted and must seize the opportunity.

Wen Qi walked calmly into the restaurant's kitchen.

Last time I went into the kitchen, I didn't get a good look around, but this time I can explore every corner.

At its busiest, the restaurant only had three people.

Wen Qi clearly remembered that there were six chefs in total.

Of the remaining three, one is a bizarre resurrection.

As for the two who weren't here, Wen Qi didn't know if they were taking turns or had gone somewhere else.

She tries her best to make herself inconspicuous in the eyes of other chefs.

The three of them were busy cooking, and only glanced at Wen Qi before continuing.

The meat and bones that were placed aside were all minced into a paste, and the bones were chopped into very small pieces.

If Wen Qi didn't know something, she wouldn't have been able to see anything unusual about the meat.

...

As she walked further into the kitchen, she discovered a locked refrigerator.

Taking out the master key, Wen Qi opened the door, went inside, and closed it.

It was bitterly cold inside.

Wen Qi shivered uncontrollably.

The refrigerator was dimly lit, and what caught the eye were pieces of red meat hanging up.

The meat was long and strip-shaped, and the texture was not that of pigs, cows, or sheep.

The air was filled with a pungent, fishy stench.

In the innermost part of the cold storage room, against the wall, Wen Qi found two freezers.

She calmed herself and slowly untied the lid.

What she found inside made her feel extremely disgusted.

They were all human brains packaged in transparent bags.

"Sure enough, all the meat in the restaurant is human flesh."

"It is very likely that some of the ingredients came from the church's basement, and some from the cold storage in Tower 2."

Taking a few deep breaths, Wen Qi looked around the entire cold storage room.

Just then, a notification and announcement sounded.

[Announcement to the entire planet: Congratulations to Wen Qi, the Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom, for discovering some clues to the truth about the Saint Lan Monastery and receiving an additional random resource reward.]

[Reward: All citizens of the Dragon Kingdom +3 to physical fitness, 1.8 million tons of copper ore resources; the mineral veins have now materialized within the country.]

[Congratulations, host, your dungeon progress has increased to 65%, and your Weirdness Points recovery speed has increased by 10%.]

The moment she received the reward, Wen Qi was certain that her deduction was correct.
