'Extraordinary Experiment Subject No. 73, Tina, summoned the Goddess of Dawn; her wish was granted.'
'Extraordinary Experiment Subject 74...failed.'
'Extraordinary Experiment Subject No. 79, Lin Xi, summoned the Goddess of Dawn, and her wish was granted.'
There might be a possibility of these names being duplicated, but Linda believes the probability is very low, and she leans towards the latter:
My own sister, Lin Xi, and the original team members, including the five-star character [Hell's Judgment] Tina, have all been to the fourth floor and triggered the hidden storyline here!
In theory, each dungeon resets after an adventurer completes it, and Black Raven's notebook acts like an achievement trophy.
All adventurers who have completed the hidden storyline and made a wish to the Goddess of Dawn will have their names recorded in the notebook.
What is the Goddess of Dawn?
What did Tina and Lin Xi wish for on the fourth floor?
Could Lin Xi's disappearance, and the disappearance of the Dark Shadow, be related to this wish...?
Linda felt as if she were in a thick fog, experiencing both the excitement of getting closer to the truth and the chill of facing the unknown.
“Have you heard of the Goddess of Dawn?” he asked, looking at Kaphni.
"What bullshit about the Goddess of Dawn? There are only two gods on this continent: one is the native goddess, Tricia, the Goddess of the World Tree, and the other is me."
Kaphni said dismissively, "Let me see, this Goddess of Dawn is also a monster that can be defeated, a creation of Tricia."
Linda thought about it and figured that Kaphni was right; the Goddess of Dawn was just a setting in this story-driven dungeon.
However, the other party seems to possess some magical power that can grant adventurers' wishes?
Linda continued flipping through her notes:
After centuries of research, we have finally figured out the ritual for summoning the goddess of dawn.
We need a magic circle, then the heart of an S-class or higher superhuman as the main offering, supplemented with 1705 grams of fragrant pork, 2034 ml of apple-flavored liqueur, and the head of a three-year-old boy...
etc,
Then, at midnight, chanting a specific incantation will summon the goddess of dawn.
Linda felt something was wrong the more she looked at it.
What kind of goddess would be attracted to the heart of a superhuman and the head of a young boy?
This is definitely a yandere!
Linda was almost certain that her sister's disappearance was definitely related to this Goddess of Dawn.
"Let's meet this guy," Linda said.
“That’s what I think too.” Kaphni sneered, “Some nobody dares to call himself a goddess? Does he even have a diploma? Even Tricia is just a country bumpkin in my eyes!”
After Monica finished showering, the three of them discussed the matter and unanimously decided to go deep into the Church of Dawn to perform the summoning ritual.
"Wake up."
Linda used the Dark Whip to bind Black Raven, and then had Kaphni pour a bucket of cold water over his head.
"Hiss."
Black Crow shivered.
Although he is a superhuman, his physical abilities seem quite weak.
On this person, Linda discovered some gems that resembled magic cores.
Normal superhumans, not in werewolf form, cast spells using this external force.
In other words, once the gems are confiscated, they become ordinary people in every sense of the word.
"Attack me, a messenger of the church? You're insane! Do you even know what you're doing?"
The black crow cawed fiercely, but its cries were actually quite weak.
He looked at his naked body and Linda's purple energy whip, feeling both shocked and frightened: he had misjudged the situation. The strength of this energy whip was at least that of an S-class superhuman, something he couldn't handle!
"Still don't understand what's going on? Kaphni, slap him." Linda sneered.
"Okay."
Kaphni picked up a slipper and slapped Black Crow twice, causing his beak to bleed and making him behave.
"I'll ask you a question, and you answer it. If you answer well, I'll consider letting you off the hook."
Linda took a sip of black tea and said, "The first question is, what were the wishes of these extraordinary test subjects? What were the wishes of Tina (No. 73) and Linxi (No. 79)?"
"This kind of secret...only His Holiness the Bishop knows it, I really don't know...Ah! Stop hitting me, I really don't know!"
Black Crow's face was swollen from Kaphni's slaps, turning into a fat panda head.
"Alright, I'll believe you for now. Second question, what is the Goddess of Dawn?"
"A deity who can grant all wishes."
"Be specific."
"Um...that's what the bishop said."
"You believe everything the bishop says? Kaphni, beat him up!"
Linda was furious. This guy was a complete brainwashed good-for-nothing, and she couldn't get any valuable information out of him!
Black Crow was beaten unconscious.
Linda frowned and paced around the room, seemingly wanting to know the content of Lin Xi and the others' wishes and to meet that bishop.
In any case, we must go deep into the Dawn Church.
He looked at his teammates: "Get your return scrolls ready. If anything unexpected happens, leave immediately."
"Understood." Kaphni and the others nodded seriously.
Linda only had seven days to stay in this secret realm, so she chose to approach the bishop using the quickest method possible.
...
One day later.
Black Crow drove back to the church compound in high spirits. His face was still bruised and swollen, but he was so excited that he was almost ready to burst into song.
He turned back and looked disdainfully at the three people bound hand and foot in the carriage: "A few ropes, you think you can restrain me, Black Crow?"
While the three were asleep, Black Crow escaped from the ropes binding him and took possession of the 'magic gem' they used for casting spells.
In this way, the superhuman became a tiger with its teeth pulled, while Black Crow himself wore a magic gem and cast a grass-based spell: 'Blue Entanglement', binding Linda and the others.
"I originally intended to recruit you into the church. Well, you brought this on yourselves. It just so happens that the bishop can't find any S-class superhumans lately, so I'll use the hearts of the three of you to sacrifice to the goddess!"
"I, Black Crow, an A-rank transcendent, actually managed to capture three S-rank beings. His Excellency the Bishop was right after all. Strength is not everything; wisdom is!"
Black Crow glanced triumphantly at the three 'unconscious' losers in the carriage, hummed a cheerful tune, flicked his whip, and drove out of the dark city, into a path leading to the deep mountains and forests.
"Linda, my tummy is itchy, can you scratch it for me?"
Kaphni's hands were tied behind her back, and she was afraid that she would break the rope if she exerted any force, so she had to ask Linda for help.
"Keep your voice down, or the plan will fail."
Linda's eyelids twitched uncontrollably; she wished she could throw Kaphni out of the carriage.
Look how well Monica is acting, nestled in his arms like a well-behaved kitten.
Kafni is a troublemaker; she complains about being uncomfortable in one position or itching somewhere.
The floor of the carriage was indeed quite damp, and Linda was also uncomfortable.
But enduring hardship is one of the essential qualities of an adventurer.
If you're afraid of everything, you might as well go home and raise your kids!
Linda gave Kaphni a silent warning with her eyes.
Okay, okay.
Kaphni also responded with mouth movements.
