Chapter 18 Saint Lan Monastery 18
Room 404
By this time, Daniel and the nun had already woken up.
The first thing the two did upon waking up was to check if they were still wearing their clothes.
"Luckily we weren't lost. It was that cultist in room 404 who knocked us unconscious," the nun said.
She muttered again, "I wonder where they've gone. They're such a worry."
Daniel remained silent for a while before finally speaking, "I don't know if she was corrupted and started hitting people randomly, or if she deliberately knocked us unconscious."
"I doubt that she will be infected."
“I saw her easily carry the vending machine at the restaurant before, which shows she’s stronger than me, meaning she knows the things in the vending machine are edible,” Daniel recalled.
The nun asked cautiously, "Then how come she didn't break any rules? Should we report this to the superintendent?"
This was the first time they had encountered a believer who didn't pray or listen, and who was of sound mind.
"No." Daniel shook his head.
Perhaps Wen Qi can break the deadlock of the monastery being controlled by the abbot.
After all, these rules of St. Lan Monastery were all issued by the abbot.
If the dean is gone, they will no longer be bound by rules.
Daniel stayed behind against his conscience to pay off his debts, but now he regrets it.
In his opinion, Wen Qi might possess the strength to rival the Dean and could subdue him.
The two left 404 silently. Since the cultist hadn't caused them to break the rules, they decided to turn a blind eye.
...
Wen Qi slept for four hours straight, from one o'clock in the afternoon until five o'clock.
After the three bells rang, Daniel came to check on Celia again and urged her to go to prayer.
Daniel had assumed Wen Qi had gone out to play, but he was surprised to find her in room 416.
As is customary, he brought Wen Qi back to 404 and reminded her to go to the prayer room to pray.
As soon as Daniel left, Wen Qi closed the door and started cooking self-heating rice.
She originally wanted to eat snail rice noodles, but she found that she couldn't cook them herself.
She started cooking the self-heating rice and began the simulation again, currently having recovered 20 points of usable weirdness value.
Wen Qi sat on the edge of the bed, closed her eyes, and began the simulation.
"Simulation begins, mind astral projection."
"It is currently the time for pre-dinner prayers, and the pastors and monks and nuns should be in the prayer room or on their way to the prayer room."
"As for the accommodation tower, I estimate it will be deserted in a little while."
So you sneaked out of the room and headed straight for the changing room in Building 1.
"You're relieved that no one has noticed you along the way. You're heading to the changing room on the first floor to see if you can steal a monk's robe or a priest's robe."
"What is stolen is much safer than what is stolen in front of others, and it will also make it easier for you to enter and leave the prayer room to investigate the truth in the future."
"You arrived at the first-floor restroom. To prevent a repeat of the last incident, you chose to go through the ventilation duct to the changing room, avoiding encountering anyone in the corridor who would see you enter the changing room."
"You climbed into the ventilation duct with practiced ease; this narrow space reminded you of that harvested cultist."
"You don't know if he's dead or if some of his organs have been removed. You can only pray he's alright."
"Following the route you remembered, you successfully climbed to the changing room."
"You quietly observed inside the ventilation duct for a while, and only jumped down after confirming that no one was in the changing room."
"You opened all the unlocked wardrobes one by one, but there were no spare monk's robes or priest's robes."
"You've set your sights on those locked wardrobes, but opening them is going to be a hassle."
[Ding! The system has detected that the host requires the Universal Key to Mysterious Objects. You can purchase it in the Mysterious City using Mysterious Coins.]
The system notification sound caught you completely off guard.
"We're supposed to be in simulation mode right now, so how come the System City is still usable?"
"You can't help but wonder if the Ghostly Master Key will disappear after the simulation ends, and the Ghostly Coins you spent will be returned."
"You opened the Mysterious City in the system panel and found the Master Key inside."
"A key costs 30 Ghost Coins, which is as expensive as the self-heating skewers you eat."
"You feel a little sorry for the ghost coins, but you still decide to buy the key. You are very clear about what is more important at this moment."
"You clicked 'Trade' on the system panel, and then a Mysterious Universal Key appeared in your system space."
You immediately and excitedly picked up the key and started trying to unlock it.
"Sure enough, the key can open any locked cabinet."
"When you opened the sixth wardrobe, you found a red mask and a set of red monk's robes inside."
"You remember that the religious code says not to trust people wearing red masks."
"You don't know why that nun was wearing a red mask, but she's definitely not a good person."
"Put away the monk's robe and red mask inside, and remember the name on the cross: Priest of Prague. It's strange that names are engraved on crosses."
"You opened the other wardrobes and finally got a priest's robe."
"You put the clothes into the system space, and then opened the other wardrobes to take a look."
"There's nothing there, and it smells terrible."
"After taking the things, you climbed back up the pipe."
...
Back in the bathroom, you pretended to go to the restaurant and left the hotel tower.
"It was 6:30 p.m. at this time, and the prayer room was probably empty. They had finished their afternoon prayers and gone to have dinner."
"You stroll around the garden pretending to have finished eating, then go to the church, climb up the statue, and find a crumpled piece of paper in the statue's hand."
"You open it and see a note that says, 'Shh! If you see this, don't make a sound and act on your gut feeling.'"
"Shh! If you see this, don't make a sound! And act on your gut feeling."
"1. Don't try to climb the wall to contact the outside world, you'll get electrocuted."
2. How could a monastery possibly have a morgue?
"3. Believers should engage in 'appropriate' exercise after dinner to let God know that you have a healthy body and are in great shape, but you don't want to be exploited because of it."
4. Your entertainment group must not exceed three people.
5. "Haha, the morgue actually holds a big secret!"
"6. Tower No. 2 also has a secret, lots and lots of foam boxes."
