Chapter 26 Saint Lan Monastery
You had doubts, but you managed to resist the urge to ask.
"The boy in red is still young and can't quite distinguish between the surprise and delight in your eyes. He continues to play the role of the little beggar you've tricked."
"In reality, he is the one who is guiding you through all the role-playing; he is essentially recreating the facts and truths that he knows for you."
"You seemed a little unsure how to respond; playing with children isn't your forte, but a faint smile still appeared on your lips."
"You said apologetically, 'Cooper, I'm not very good at acting. How about you teach me how to speak and act? You can be my little teacher.'"
Cooper clapped his hands and said, "Great! Great! Cooper's going to be a teacher!"
"Sister, just say, 'Sister will take you to the building in the back. There are lots of children there, and you won't be alone. You can make lots of new friends there.'"
"You repeated Cooper's words."
"But the information contained in this sentence is chilling when you think about it: he was an observer, and he was clear-headed."
"There are lots of children in that tower behind? But you haven't seen any children other than Cooper in two days."
Cooper took your hand and led you toward Tower 2 of the accommodation complex.
"A seven or eight-year-old child knows how to convey information to you in this way. You can't help but marvel at how clever this boy in red is."
"Now you understand the red text on the back of the [Cleric's Code]: 'There is a little boy in red in the monastery; he is the source of the prison, and also the clear-headed observer.'"
"Perhaps you can find more clues through this child."
"Originally, you just wanted to survive until Thanksgiving, but as you learned more about St. Lan Abbey and the truth, you slowly began to change your goals."
Even if you play it safe and develop your character stealthily, you still want to find out the truth behind the buying and selling, save the believers here as much as possible, and even get an SSS-level clear.
...
Cooper stopped downstairs at Tower 2 of the accommodation complex.
Cooper: "Sister, this place scares me. I don't want to go in. Can you take me out to eat something delicious?"
"You don't know if Cooper is putting on an act or if he really wants to go eat something."
"Whether it's him as a person or the role he plays, it's not an exaggeration for him to say that."
"However, you still took out some food from the system space. The self-heating hot pot soup you gave Cooper last time was a simulation, and it's the same this time."
"You're thinking, if we really run into Cooper, we should just give him something to eat, since he's a key figure in this instance anyway."
"Perhaps to gain favor, you have to experience it yourself."
...
You take out a can of fruit, unscrew it, and hand it to Cooper, saying, "This is for you."
Cooper waved his hand towards his nose. "Sister, what's this? It looks delicious, and it smells sweet."
You look puzzled. "Canned fruit! Don't you recognize this?"
"Little Cooper shook his head and looked at you with longing eyes; he wanted to eat."
"Pat his head and hand him the things. 'Take this and find somewhere to eat. We're done pretending for now. Cooper's so smart, your sister already knows.'"
As he was leaving, you smiled slightly at him and said, "Cooper, thank you!"
"He just smiled at you, then grabbed the can and ran off."
"You are currently in simulation mode, and this simulation is the longest you have ever survived."
"Since the simulation isn't over yet, let's make good use of these five oddity points. Besides, we still don't know whether the Dean will discover that Nora is an imposter in the simulation."
...
"You don't know if you can enter Tower 2 as a believer, but monks and priests should be able to."
"You returned to Tower One, changed into your monk's robes and put on your hat in the bathroom on the first floor."
"You went to Tower 2 again, and then walked in with a calm expression."
"If you step halfway into Tower 2, your willpower will shatter."
"The mind returns!"
"Simulation complete! Current anomaly value: 35 points. Simulation duration: 8 hours."
The simulated memories returned, and it took Wen Qi half a minute to slowly come back to her senses.
Although this simulation only consumed five points of weirdness value, the simulation time was too long and it was a bit mentally taxing.
No wonder the simulator limits the number of times you can project your thoughts into your body, and the time you can't stay in that body for too long.
Let alone more than five times, Wen Qi wouldn't be able to handle it if it happened again.
After all, it's too tiring to project your thoughts into your body.
...
The hearts of the viewers in front of the screen beat in sync with Wen Qi's.
"If only she had stayed safely in her room, it would have been so easy for her to survive until Thanksgiving."
"The person upstairs is probably joking. If we don't find out the truth and identify the biggest mystery in advance, we'll be chosen by those mysterious people in cloaks before we even live to Thanksgiving."
"Exactly, what if they try to rip out Seventh Sister's precious sac?"
"I gave her my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, hehe."
"I wonder how Wen Qi will deal with this next. There are only a few Chosen Ones left on the entire Blue Star."
Aren't you curious about the basement level of the monastery?
"What's the use of curiosity? Strange things have descended upon Earth. Is there anything more unscientific or outrageous than this?"
"You guys don't surf the internet enough. Many countries on Earth also have illegal organ transplants! The authorities have said that a certain country produces Muti magic potions, so Earth is sometimes even more terrifying than the eerie world."
While viewers were discussing the matter heatedly in the live chat, the higher-ups of the Dragon Kingdom were also very worried about Wen Qi.
I'm afraid she'll end the challenge here.
Being isolated and helpless, and being a young girl, it was impossible for her not to be afraid in that situation.
But she pulled through.
Old Zhang was genuinely afraid that Wen Qi would develop a mental illness from the shock.
...
By this time, Wen Qi had adjusted her mindset.
She recalled the state of mind during the simulation and calculated the time.
Soon, she took the elevator to the restaurant's kitchen.
Just like in the simulation, she met the restaurant's head chef.
This time, Wen Qi did not plan to knock out the head chef of the restaurant and take him to the basement.
Instead of closing the elevator doors, she told the head chef to come with her.
Wen Qi dared not speak, for her voice would give her away if she opened her mouth.
Fortunately, the head chef, like everyone else, treated her as Nora.
Wen Qi beckoned to him with her finger, signaling him to take the elevator and follow her.
The head chef got on the elevator, and the moment the elevator doors closed, Wen Qi had already pulled out her nunchuck.
The door will reflect light when closed, so the head chef can't see her ghost.
The restaurant uncle was no stranger to nunchucks, but he probably wouldn't have associated them with Wen Qi, as Wen Qi had confirmed during the simulation.
...
Real world
"Seventh Sister wouldn't be... (covers mouth with hands.jpg)"
"Yes, that's right! She's back to her old ways, and she might be threatening people!"
"What if she accidentally kills someone? I have a feeling she might go too far. *covers face and laughs*"
"Hahaha, head chef, run!"
Wen Qi stood behind him and swung her hand hard at the back of his head a few times.
Brains splattered everywhere; the head chef was killed by Wen Qi.
[The host has killed Chef Edward!]
