Chapter 44 Saint Lan Monastery
"The previously separate split-screen displays are now dominated by a single large live stream screen."
"You see in the live stream that a woman with a paintbrush is drawing on a bound man."
"Red ink marks are scattered across his heart, his kidneys, the corners of his eyes, his ears, and his genitals."
"That person was speaking a language you couldn't understand."
"But your intuition tells you that she's introducing you to those organs/parts."
"Perhaps there are also prices for organs; you guessed right."
"This large-scale auction of human bodies and organs, with its live stream and virtual rewards, is the monastery's biggest and most core profit-making project, its biggest business."
She was introducing the prices and detailed information about the organs of the auction items to the guests present.
"The reason why each cloaked person has a small room is to protect the privacy of the guests."
"One pastor is in charge of one room. If the guests need it, he will explain various matters related to the organs. However, these pastors seem to know everything about the organs, just like they do.
"A short while later, the sound of bells came from other rooms."
"You know that the bell on the table in front of you can also ring."
"But you don't understand the rules of the game, so you don't dare to make any rash moves."
"Even with 60 points of weirdness now, you have a limited number of consecutive simulations, so it's best to be cautious."
"The ringtones rang one after another from different small rooms."
"In less than five minutes, under the guidance of the female host, it seemed that all the parts of the man's body had been auctioned off."
"At this moment, you regret not killing the red-masked priest and watching the cloaked man do it."
"I can't understand anything right now, and I don't know how other people operate it."
"After the previous person was photographed and sold, a younger woman took over."
"The process remains the same."
"You just sat there in the room, and half an hour later, they started targeting the children."
"You couldn't stand it anymore and left the room."
"The moment you left your seat, that red-masked priest followed you."
"You turned around and glared at him, and only then did he obediently stop standing still."
"One room, one red-masked priest—but where are they usually?"
"I don't know where the director is taking care of them."
...
You left the room.
"You don't dare to do anything that seems out of place, so you can't do eavesdropping anymore."
You tiptoed to the vicinity of the auction platform.
"Those monitors were originally used by the director to switch between different shots."
"Poke your head out and look."
"At this moment, an administrator wearing a blue mask walks towards you."
He gestured with his hand, indicating that it was safe to enter.
"The direction points directly to the room you were in before; he wants you to go back."
"You turn your head and see the red-masked priest standing in the doorway, looking at you."
"You didn't know if you'd been exposed, but you still forced yourself to go back."
"You're so eager to find out what the dean is doing right now."
"In this situation, the dean is not even on the auction platform."
"You guess he has something more important to do, and is with someone more important."
"For things like live streaming/auctions/organ donations, the hospital director was just sitting in the room, not actually present at the scene."
"So what exactly is happening where he is?"
Driven by curiosity, and unable to speak the language, you could only turn around and slap the administrator.
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he headed towards the auction platform.
"Go around the platform and walk into the darker corridor."
"You had just reached the entrance of the corridor when you lost consciousness and your mind returned."
"Simulation complete! Current anomaly value: 55 points; simulation duration: 57 minutes."
He died the moment he stepped into that corridor.
It seems there's a secret in that corridor.
Are cloaked figures not allowed to enter? Or are cloaked figures of my level not allowed to enter?
If only we could get our hands on the clothes of those two cloaked figures who were with the dean.
The cloak made it impossible to tell whether someone was male or female, or whether they were thin or fat.
However, obtaining their cloaks is extremely difficult.
To uncover the truth, you begin the simulation once again.
...
"Load forward!"
"You followed the dean and the others and quietly sneaked into the auction house."
"Once we entered the auction hall, the number of people increased."
"This time you didn't look around; you continued to follow the dean."
Sure enough, the three of them walked into the dimly lit corridor.
"You follow me forward."
"The auction hasn't started yet, so no blue-robed administrators care about you wandering around."
"Your fists were clenched, and your palms were sweating with tension."
"Then you turned around and went straight to the small room without looking back."
"You enter a room with a priest in a red mask, but you don't see any cloaked people."
You said to the chubby, red-masked pastor, "The abbot said you need to go see him; go now."
The fat pastor thought for a few seconds, then strode out of the room.
"After the fat pastor leaves, peek out from the doorway and spy on him."
"The fat pastor walked to the entrance of the dimly lit corridor and stood there hesitating."
"The fat pastor doesn't seem to dare go in either."
He turned back and gave you a meaningful look, but you pretended not to notice and waved for him to go inside.
"You stared at him without blinking until he actually stepped inside."
"No bloody scenes appeared; the fat pastor is not dead."
"You used the fat priest as a scapegoat to test the waters and find out who the red-masked ticket was, allowing them to enter that corridor."
You hurriedly left the room.
"Before that fat priest returns, you need to find the next room without the red-masked priest."
"There are twelve rooms in this corridor leading to the entrance. You will soon find the room that meets your requirements."
"Last time, you were dressed as the cloaked man in the simulation. This time, you'll stand behind him and watch how he operates the costume."
...
"Soon after, the auction began."
"The live stream started appearing on the computer screen, showing the same routine as before."
"The first man to be auctioned off was not involved by the guests in your room."
"The third girl to be auctioned off was a high school student."
"Because her clothes were school uniforms, and they even had 'So-and-so High School' and 'So-and-so' printed on them."
"You're watching all this in agony, powerless to do anything; it's not wise to expose this."
"When the auctioneer circled the eyes of the high school girl with a pen, the guest in front of you finally made a move."
He typed a number and a price into the computer's chat window, then rang the bell on the table.
"You don't know what your purpose is in this room."
"After that, the customer repeated the process several times, taking pictures of different organs."
"It has a spinal cord, skin, teeth, and toes."
"Soon, the auction will come to an end."
"At that moment, the cloaked man turned and looked at you."
"The cloaked man: 'I've already taken a picture of what I need. Please harvest it and bring it to the designated location.'"
You calmly replied, "Don't worry, I'll definitely deliver it to you."
"Then, you left the room without taking anything."
"You can understand what this person is saying, so it seems the guests are indeed divided into different levels. There are two groups of guests, so what about the auction?"
The cloaked man called out to you, "Aren't you taking the number plate and cash with you?"
"Upon hearing this, you were stunned."
"Turn around and explain, 'I'm coming back; I'm just going to the next room to find someone.'"
"Once you leave the room, go check if that fat pastor from before has returned."
"But there was no fat priest or cloaked man in that room."
"Summoning your courage, you walked into that dark corridor."
