Chapter 34 Saint Lan Monastery
"The little boy has turned into a monster again."
"Before your mind shattered, you saw the little boy's pair of bloodshot eyes."
"Return of consciousness."
"Simulation complete! Current anomaly value: 20 points. Simulation duration: thirteen minutes."
Damn it!
This brat can turn into a monster at the drop of a hat; it's definitely weird.
And is he really just a child? What will his intelligence be like when he grows up?
If my power weren't currently weak, and I didn't feel like I might not be able to win, and it wasn't just a simulation, why would I have to suffer like this?
But now you know the child's background; he grew up in an orphanage.
He and Cooper used to be friends.
Since he was an orphan, is it possible that the frozen corpses of the children in the cold storage on the second floor were also children from the same orphanage as him?
In addition, the children in the orphanage may have been auctioned off.
...
Wen Qi rubbed her eyes and started the simulation again.
"Load forward!"
You walked up to the child and pulled out your nunchaku.
"If they won't listen to reason, then we'll have to resort to violence."
"You just wanted to find an elegant solution, but the child wouldn't listen."
"You channel your supernatural power into the creature, pointing the other end at it."
"You: 'If you want to live or escape from here, answer my questions honestly.'"
"The child looks at you, puzzled. What does he have that you, a head chef who frequents this place, don't know?"
"You grab him and start smashing the chains that bind him."
"However, the chains did not budge."
"A ghost?"
"If you feel it carefully, it seems that the eerie power above is quite strong."
"You put away the nunchaku, took out the small dagger hammer, and smashed it hard against the chain, sparks flying everywhere."
"However, the wall connecting the chains began to shake, so you stopped moving."
"See? Only I can help you escape."
"You have to tell me whatever I ask from now on!"
The little boy nodded fearfully, struggling to get away from your little devil hammer.
"Only then did you put him down."
"It seems he's afraid of your terrifying monster; you can see the panic on his face."
You smiled faintly and asked him, "What's your name, and what's your relationship with the dean's son?"
The little boy lowered his head, avoiding your eyes. "My name is Qi Jia. I used to be good friends with Cooper. Cooper is the name of the dean's son."
You then ask, "What caused your relationship to break down, and you're no longer friends?"
“Cooper has had a heart condition since childhood. Three years ago, he needed surgery. He had finally gotten a heart transplant, but someone else paid a high price to schedule the surgery first,” Qi Jia recalled.
"The dean tried many methods, and it seemed that my heart was a match for Cooper's, so the dean set his sights on me."
"The dean knew about this because Cooper told him that my blood type was the same as his, and they secretly arranged for a blood type matching test between me and Cooper, saying that my heart wouldn't have a rejection reaction."
"I didn't really understand what they were saying back then. I only knew that I could save my best friend, but at that time I didn't know that I couldn't live without a heart."
"It all started because of Cooper. He said we had the same blood type, and that's when my three-year nightmare began."
"They forcibly removed my heart and brought me to the monastery."
"Before my heart was removed, I cursed the father and son every moment, determined to make them suffer, and that's how I gained mysterious powers."
"After hearing Qi Jia's story, you felt a little uneasy. 'So, Cooper's heart is yours now?'"
"You started to resent Cooper because of this too."
"Why did the dean lock you up here? And how did you become this strange creature?"
Qi Jia: "Someone told me that as long as I hold onto a certain belief, I can possess magic, superhuman power, and take revenge."
"I curse Cooper to never make friends, I curse them to be estranged."
"But the dean seems to know supernatural powers too. He's much more powerful than me. He took advantage of my trust in Cooper, found me, captured me, and locked me up here."
"They even kidnapped other children from the orphanage."
"As she spoke, Qi Jia began to tremble in pain."
"They were all taken away. One of the cooks the director brought said they were going to take my orphanage friends to a live demonstration of skinning and bone-cutting, and auction off their hearts, etc."
"By the time he finishes speaking, your heart will already be in turmoil."
"In this world, having money really does mean you can do whatever you want!"
"And his hobbies are also very perverse; he treats killing as a game, and even streams it live."
"To witness the torture firsthand, to auction off organs, to eat human flesh—how cruel and barbaric!"
"You were reluctant to press further, which only rubbed salt into Qi Jia's wounds."
"But you have no choice but to find out the truth step by step."
"Your tone softened considerably. 'Qi Jia, you're actually dead, aren't you? You became a special being—the Weird—through sheer willpower and a mysterious force.'"
"I'm also trying to destroy everything you're worried about; they're too evil."
"Qi Jia is looking at you with innocent eyes."
"Can you tell me where their auction is being held?"
Qi Jia shook her head. "How would I know? They'll never let me know; they'll only tell me what bad things they've done."
You let out a soft sigh, but you still felt extremely depressed.
"Whether Qi Jia or Cooper is telling the truth, the dean must have done the work containing that information."
...
"You walked out of Guan Qijia's basement and went back to the second floor."
"You hide in the glass window of one of the cold storage rooms and look out at the garden, where there are sparse crowds of believers."
"What will become of them and their destiny if they don't destroy this place soon?"
"You have finished the simulation."
"Simulation complete! Current anomaly value: 15 points. Simulation duration: 20 minutes."
Wen Qi opened her eyes, analyzed the situation carefully for a while, and then walked towards the basement.
Everyone watching the screen was worried that unknown dangers awaited her.
...
“Qi Jia, I’m a friend of your friend at the orphanage. They are in danger right now.”
"Would you be willing to tell me what you know about St. Lan's Abbey, the abbot, and... Cooper?"
Once Wen Qi arrived at the basement and actually met Qi Jia, she changed her identity to better answer questions.
After learning about Qi Jia's experience, Wen Qi couldn't bear to be too violent towards the child.
Qi Jia looked at her with a puzzled expression, not quite believing what Wen Qi said.
To put Qi Jia at ease, Wen Qi took out the small magic hammer and started smashing the chains.
Among the various strange creatures, those of higher rank are naturally superior.
Both were terrifying monsters, but with Wen Qi's supernatural power, the little monster hammer quickly broke the chains.
Just then, a system notification sounded.
[Congratulations, host, you have found the mysterious object—the Black Crystal Chain. Do you wish to contain it?]
Black crystal chain?
Can it contain strange objects?
