Chapter 47 Saint Lan Monastery
"With a thud, something fell to the ground behind you."
At the same time, the small, strange hammer in his hand slammed into the dean's head.
"The dean screamed 'Ah!' as blood slowly flowed down his forehead, staining his white clothes bright red."
"If you add ten points of Ghost Power to a terrifying-level monster, it would be absolutely devastating to an ordinary person if you used this hammer to smash their brains to pieces."
"Governor's strangeness means that the Little Demon Hammer can actually do a lot of damage to him."
"But what you didn't expect was that Reverend Nora used a scalpel to kill the Dean's crow."
"Isn't she one of the dean's people? Why would she help me?"
"Without time to think further, you grabbed the dean's collar tightly and slammed the hammer down on him again and again."
"Until the dean was on the verge of death."
"A piece of obsidian around his neck suddenly glowed."
"Then, a dark shadow slowly took shape in front of you."
"It was just a dark shadow."
"However, his physique is exactly the same as the Dean's."
"This must be because He controls the Dean, granting him the ability to control the rules within the Saint Lan Monastery."
"The medium for setting rules or drawing curses is the raven's feather and the leather scrolls that record the rules."
...
"The dark figure darted into the dean's body in a flash."
"You immediately grabbed Qi Jia and took several steps back, watching helplessly as the dean, who was about to be beaten to death, stood up in an extremely distorted posture after merging with the black shadow."
Priestess Nora stepped forward and whispered in your ear, "Be careful, he's not the headmaster anymore."
"But you don't care about all that; you absolutely cannot give Him and the Dean more time to merge."
"You swung the hammer and charged forward, striking the dean in the back."
"But as if he had eyes in the back of his head, he suddenly turned around and took your hammer, and the two of you were locked in a stalemate."
"At this moment, Qi Jia suddenly pounced over, clinging to the dean and biting him incessantly."
"Qi Jia's biting completely enraged the dean and Him."
"The Dean tried to take your little demon hammer away, but you held on tightly, and the red light emanating from the little demon hammer was extremely intense."
"The brighter the red glow, the stronger the eeriness."
"The dean threw the little devil hammer directly out, and you were thrown out with it."
"But you were caught by Priestess Nora, who grabbed your clothes."
"Then the dean grabbed Qi Jia and threw her out just as violently."
"The room shook from the tremor."
"The Dean became much stronger after merging with Him."
The dean was furious and pointed at Priestess Nora, yelling, "Nora, how dare you betray me, you filthy wretch!"
As he spoke, his figure grew taller and taller.
"Priestess Nora was not angry in the face of the Dean's angry rebuke."
She said in a very calm tone, "There's no such thing as betrayal; it's just a matter of mutual benefit, and besides, I was forced by you."
"You've manipulated the rules to get us to join you in your corrupt practices, but my conscience won't allow it."
"I feel terrible spending money earned against my conscience."
"The dean snorted coldly after hearing Priestess Nora's words."
His face was full of disdain and contempt. "You were the one who thought money was easy to make and was willing to stay. Now you've turned the tables on me. You've played the hawk your whole life, and in the end, the hawk has pecked your eyes out."
"I've regretted it for a long time, but I just haven't had the chance. I can't beat you, and I can't escape either." Priestess Nora tightened her grip on her knife, gritting her teeth fiercely.
"Now that there are two more people dealing with you, even if we ultimately fail, I won't regret ever fighting back."
"At this point, Nora removed her red mask, revealing that she was blind in one eye."
After removing her mask, Priestess Nora turned to you and said, "I know you took my monk's robes. I don't blame you. I have two masks."
"You've probably seen my diary. I gave it to that believer you were close to, but she couldn't withstand the corruption and forgot some things again."
"This information has truly surprised you."
"That diary actually belongs to Priestess Nora!"
"In other words, it wasn't a coincidence that I could see the things recorded in the diary, but rather it was intentional on Nora's part."
"Did she write those red-letter warnings and pranks too? Was she orchestrating them?"
...
"Seeing that you were having trouble dealing with the Dean, you interrupted Priestess Nora's long speech."
"Priestess Nora, does the Dean have any weaknesses?"
Priestess Nora, however, gave an irrelevant answer and instead asked you, "Have you been to the Dean's office? Did you notice anything different about it?"
"Could it be that his weakness lies in the office?" you muttered to yourself.
"You remembered the feng shui layout of the dean's office, which favored water and disliked wood, with an iron bed, various glass cabinets, and a damp floor."
"Could his weakness be wood in the Five Elements?"
You whispered to Priestess Nora, "Are you referring to Dean Jimu?"
Priestess Nora nodded, then inexplicably added, "The cage doesn't need to be broken, just jumped out of it. Only by jumping out of the cage can we see the truth."
"This is the second time you've encountered this phrase. Daniel gave you a note with the same sentence on it before."
"You don't know if this cage is describing a monastery or something else."
"But would that statement even be effective in killing the dean?"
...
"The dean is averse to wood, so the weapon that can be used to deal with him should ideally be made of wood."
"Plank, mallet, stick, pole, knife."
"In your system space, there is also a commonly used baseball bat, a terrifyingly strange object, made of wood."
"So you put away the little devil hammer and took out a baseball bat."
"You're actually quite uncertain about what to do when facing the dean who has completely integrated into the eerie world."
"With so many cloaked figures watching the show, this is a dead end, impossible to break!"
"We can't afford to really break ties with the dean tonight."
"But if we don't deal with the dean tonight, even more people will die."
"If we deal with the dean tonight, we won't get any advantage. We can only test the waters through a simulation."
With a sigh, you recalled Qi Jia.
"Combining Qi Jia's unorthodox abilities with your own, and using a baseball bat, it's worth a try."
...
"Priestess Nora, you stop the Dean from getting the Raven Feather. Leave the rest to me. Let's work together and see if we can kill him." You walked to Priestess Nora's side and whispered.
Priestess Nora nodded slightly, giving you a look of agreement, and tightened her grip on the scalpel held horizontally in front of her chest.
"If he hadn't summoned the crows, I would have helped you; I also possess supernatural powers."
"The two of you exchanged a glance and each found the right spot to attack."
"You unleash your supernatural power, grip the baseball bat with both hands, leap high into the air, and smash it down towards the dean."
"The rewards you've received these past few days have greatly increased your speed and strength."
"You were originally a sports student, and now both of those skills have been greatly enhanced."
"The dean seems to sense that the strange object you are using is made of wood, and he dares not confront you head-on."
