Chapter 38 Saint Lan Monastery
"You don't understand what's going on."
"You can only extract key information from the few words you exchange with them."
You muttered, "I wonder which unlucky soul ended up being turned into porridge. Sigh, we really need to follow the rules."
"You two continue your conversation, I'm going upstairs to find a friend."
"You left under their watchful eyes and took the elevator to the fourth floor."
"The simulation isn't over yet, so you decide to go find Daniel."
"It's best to find one person to really take advantage of when you're trying to get freebies."
"Anyway, I've already threatened him before."
"Acquaintances—easier to commit crimes."
...
"You searched the fourth floor but couldn't find Daniel."
"You went to the prayer church along the buttress bridge, and in the duty office of the prayer room, you met a nun."
"You can tell this nun by her figure. She's the nun who recognized you as not being Daniel when you were doing your simulation."
You walk up to him and ask, "Where is Daniel right now? Do you know?"
"He apparently did his rounds at noon and then took leave. I heard his girlfriend wants to break up with him," the nun said with a hint of schadenfreude.
"you:......"
"A guy as tall and good-looking as Daniel, how come his girlfriend wants to break up with him?"
"It seems Daniel might be a jerk."
"Or perhaps she spends too little time with her girlfriend, and she can't reveal any details about her work."
"After thinking about it, since Daniel isn't here, we should find someone to replace him."
"Settle grievances with grievances, and avenge wrongs with wrongs."
"By the way, have you seen Pastor Allen? I heard his mask is missing; I feel like I've seen it somewhere before," you casually mentioned.
The nun was somewhat surprised. "Really? You saw Allen's mask?"
"Why don't you come with me to look for it? Pastor Allen will definitely thank you then," you said confidently, as if you had already found the mask for Allen.
The nun hesitated, "But I still have to work my shift."
You: "It's almost lunchtime, and the rules don't say we can't leave a few minutes early."
The nun said, "That's true."
"You grabbed the nun's hand and said, 'Come with me, I'll take you there.'...Take her to be killed!"
"So the nun followed you to the third-floor restroom."
...
“I saw the red mask right here in the bathroom ventilation duct,” you said, pointing to the ventilation duct entrance not far away.
"At first, we thought it was Pastor Allen in the pipes, but it turns out he just lost his mask."
"Hearing you say that, the nun went inside."
She looked up and carefully examined the ventilation duct; there were indeed signs that someone had tampered with the duct opening.
"After all, you've been here before."
"You've climbed up almost all the ventilation ducts in the entire monastery."
"While you were scrutinizing her closely, you silently pulled out a nunchaku from behind her."
"Qi Jia has also possessed your strange creature."
"You swung the nunchaku and hit her knees twice, and Qi Jia also used a sonic attack, causing her cells to begin to mutate."
You grabbed her hair. "Daniel's girlfriend broke up with him, aren't you happy?"
"You seem to pay special attention to Daniel; you even remember his height perfectly."
"If I kill you, I can get the Red Mask, and I'd love to date Daniel. Plus, I can go to the auction with Allen."
"Tell me, is my idea good? After all, nuns can't marry, but I'm just a fake nun."
The nun burst into laughter, her eyes bloodshot. "Hahaha, do you have some misunderstanding about receiving the red mask?"
"Your tone was threatening. 'No misunderstanding, all we need to do is cut off your organs and sell them to customers who like or need them, then throw you into the restaurant's cold storage room.'"
"Or, I could strip you naked and have the security guard throw you into the basement."
This time, the nun was somewhat panicked.
The nun screamed, "Why are you trying to kill me?"
"No reason, I just wanted to kill someone, and while I was at it... I'd get my men to kill someone too." You didn't want to waste any more words, you just wanted to get information out of me.
"However, if you tell me the auction process, I might consider letting you go."
The nun shook her head. "I don't know the procedures, you know them too. We nuns have no access to those things."
"Just like you, all I know is that the red mask allows entry, and you can use it to get a number for the customer you're serving."
"Using a mask to get a number for the customer you're serving?"
"Does each red mask correspond to one guest?"
You asked her, "Can I only get a number for one customer at a time?"
The nun said, "You think getting a number is so easy? It's a symbol of wealth and power."
"You can only get the red mask if you gain the guest's full trust."
"Someone like me, even if a customer likes something, at most I'll just get a little more money when I sell it."
"You can't get the red mask just by killing someone?"
"Did those two nuns on the first floor lie?"
"Or did the person being killed have specific requests?"
"And for a guest to be satisfied with their service, it means not only having killed people, but also having served at least those cloaked figures, in order to obtain the red mask."
"You've been at St. Lan's Monastery for three days."
"So far, you've only seen three red masks."
"The first one was in the corridor on the fourth floor, where the monk was carrying a box dripping with blood."
"The second one is the head chef you killed."
"The third is Pastor Allen, who accompanied the dean to harvest and make MT medicine for the guests."
Is there any connection between these three people?
"You only saw Allen serving a cloaked man."
"The other two, the nun in the corridor, may be in a similar situation to Allen."
"And what about the head chef in the red mask?"
"How did he obtain the mask after he died?"
"How can you serve customers when they're already dead?"
"Chef? Service? Guests?"
"Chef...chef, a cook prepares dishes."
"His cooking! He even made human flesh dishes, and the customers were very satisfied with the human flesh dishes."
"Perhaps that's how it is."
"The chef's resurrection must have been the dean's doing."
"But the chef's strangeness is very different from Qi Jia's."
"The chef is like a walking corpse controlled by others, with no thoughts of his own."
"The main problem is that we don't know exactly when the head chef obtained the red mask."
"It's all just your guess."
You pinched her chin, saying with great interest, "I'm very satisfied with what you said. You've successfully dissuaded me, and I'll consider not killing you."
"But you have to answer one last question for me: where will the auction be held?"
The nun's eyes were filled with fear as she hurriedly said, "I don't know. I only know that an auction is held every ten days."
"The guests, received by the dean, the red-masked head chef, and the red-masked pastor, entered the office and didn't emerge until the following day."
You: "How many days until the next one?"
The nun blurted out, "Tomorrow night."
You smiled slightly, "Your answer satisfies me very much."
"Qi Jia, make sure she dies peacefully in a bit."
The nun stared at you in terror, backing away relentlessly. "You promised you wouldn't kill me!"
You looked at her with amusement. "Did I say that? I said I was considering not killing you, not that I wouldn't kill you at all."
"Even if it's a simulation, you must avenge the time when your identity was exposed."
"You stripped her of her black nun's habit and were planning to take her back to Celia."
"The nun was swallowed whole by Qi Jia, not a single trace was left."
...
"The murdered nun was named Eva."
"You put on Eva's clothes and walked out of the bathroom."
"Soon, you'll be back on the fourth floor of the accommodation tower."
"You headed straight for 416."
"At this moment, Celia was preparing to go downstairs to the restaurant for dinner."
You knocked gently on the door and then went inside.
"Take off your nun's habit as soon as you go in."
"Ceria recognized you."
She walked up to you and touched your clothes. "Wen Qi, why are you wearing a black nun's habit? Where did you get it?"
"You're amazing! I've been trying to steal this for ages, but nothing works."
You handed her the nun's habit and said, "From now on, your name is Eva, and you are a nun on duty at the church."
Celia pushed the clothes back to you, saying, "If you give me the clothes, what will you do with them?"
"Don't worry, I have a plan," you comforted her, holding her hand.
"Everything else is up to you."
“Take a good look at the rules for believers, monks, and nuns, as well as the rules in the Dean’s office. There’s nothing else I can do for you.”
Celia hugged you with tears in her eyes, saying, "Thank you."
"I wish you success and all the best."
"If you need any help later, please don't hesitate to ask."
"You nod."
"Soon, Celia went to the restaurant wearing Eva's clothes."
"You went back to room 404 wearing your white nun's habit."
"You've finished the simulation!"
"Simulation complete! Current anomaly value: 10 points. Simulation duration: 32 minutes."
