Chapter 48 Saint Lan Monastery
"Looks like we made the right bet; the dean is afraid of wood."
"You kept swinging the baseball bat at the dean, fast, accurate, and powerful."
"As you kept hitting the dean, He escaped from him."
"Your wooden baseball bat hurt Him."
"It turns out that it was He who was afraid of wood, not the Dean."
"The layout of the dean's office is also because of His presence, so it is arranged to favor water. The glass cabinets in the ward, the bookshelves in the office, and the iron beds in the ward are all unfavorable to wood."
"The rules of conduct for religious practitioners include the requirement to keep the ward floor moist."
"At this moment, the dean hurriedly stepped back to create distance between you."
He took out a leather scroll of scriptures and began to mutter incantations.
Priestess Nora rushed forward and snatched the leather scroll from him, but luckily those crows were not easy to deal with.
"The Dean stared at Priestess Nora in disbelief. He hadn't expected that the cursed scripture would disappear before he even got the Raven Feather."
"Without Him, the Dean will only be able to write curses with raven feathers."
"It's nothing!"
"Incredibly weak!"
"Just a tool He used."
...
"Priestess Nora, holding a scalpel, slowly approached the Dean with a sinister look in her eyes."
You glanced sideways at Priestess Nora, sensing that something was off about her.
"The reversal seems a bit unreasonable, but I can't quite pinpoint what the problem is."
"After all, when Daniel gave you the note, it was just the two of you."
"Therefore, it's highly likely that she wrote the note."
"Furthermore, there's the diary under Celia's pillow, which is still in your system space and no one else can access it."
"Priestess Nora knows about this, and there's a high probability that she's the owner of the diary."
"But you don't have time to think too much right now."
...
"You saw Him seemingly transform into a dark shadow, trying to escape the room."
"You ran after Him."
"You know them, they can only take advantage of people's vulnerabilities when their desires are constantly rising."
"There must be quite a few people with strong desires at this auction."
"We must not let Him escape and find another person to possess."
"But you didn't expect that He didn't target those who took off their cloaks."
"Actually, it's because He wasn't strong enough. Any one of the cloaked figures in that room was stronger than Him."
"So those people will never give him a chance to possess someone."
"Even though you're not slow at all, you still couldn't catch him."
Ultimately, you lost him.
"You don't know why He ran away until you go back to that room, then you understand everything."
...
"Priestess Nora, is she possessed by Him?"
"Because you see, Priestess Nora is hanging the Dean's obsidian around her own neck."
"What you chased after just now was probably only a tiny fraction of His power."
"It was all just a diversionary tactic to lure you away, a feint to the east while attacking the west."
"You don't know that it was Priestess Nora's excessive desires that led her to abandon her pursuit of exorbitant profits in the monastery."
"Or was it Priestess Nora's hatred for the High Priest that allowed Him to take advantage of the situation?"
"Flies don't land on eggs without cracks."
"Anyway, from your current perspective, He now has control over Priestess Nora."
...
"The dean had already disappeared."
"You didn't chase after him for very long, how could the dean have disappeared in such a short time?"
"Neither alive nor dead has anyone been found."
"Could it have been eaten by Him?"
"Was she still killed by Priestess Nora?"
"The mysteries are multiplying, and there's a significant element of acting involved in Priestess Nora's previous performance."
"What's wrong? You seem surprised?" Priestess Nora said ostentatiously, pulling up a chair and crossing her legs.
You took a deep breath, trying to stay calm.
"How many of the things you said before were true?"
"Everything I told you is true!" Priestess Nora licked her lips and said in a sweet, coquettish voice.
"As for that old fox, the Dean, I've wanted to kill him and take his place for a long time."
"He used to write curses with a raven feather and restrict people with the rules he set, making things difficult for us pastors at every turn. He would threaten us with death at the drop of a hat and all sorts of other things. He brought this upon himself."
"Hmph, so what's the difference between you and the Dean now?" You were somewhat angry, but tried your best to control yourself.
"Oh, I'm not like him. He's after money; I just want to become stronger."
"I suffered injustice and humiliation in this monastery, but now that I'm stronger, I'll take my revenge."
"As for those believers, I will release them. As a pastor, I will not harm the innocent."
"I'm sorry I used you to help me deal with the dean, but you're the most suitable person. I've had my eye on you ever since the day you robbed the restaurant."
"If I hadn't found Daniel and asked him to help destroy the surveillance cameras, do you think you could have moved freely in and out of the monastery's second basement level? How could you have obtained those clues?"
"Your face darkened after hearing Nora's words."
"She's probably not a good person. You've been putting up with it again and again in order to find out more information."
"Even if she was subtly implying that you were stupid and that you left evidence on the surveillance footage during the operation, you can't hide. Surveillance footage is the most revealing thing, and you didn't have Qi Jia's assistance at that time."
"The main reason is that she's been watching you closely, so she can notice some clues from your frequent trips to and from the bathroom."
"Apart from that one time when you ran out of the restaurant kitchen and the situation wasn't handled very well, it's hard to pin the blame on you otherwise."
...
"You glanced back at the guests still sitting around. What was their attitude?"
"Since they're here to spend money on various projects, there's no reason for them to end the cooperation."
"They certainly don't want all of the monastery's 'stock' to slip away from Priestess Nora."
"The entire cold storage in Tower 2, and the basement levels of the church, were 'overloaded with goods'."
"What about these guests? How are you going to explain this to them?" you asked in a low voice.
Priestess Nora tapped her hand absently on the table, her eyes showing no fear. "Them? Go back to where you came from!"
"They are not from Lan Thai, but the monastery is a Lan Thai monastery."
"Could they be from another dimension?"
Suppress your surprise; you've never heard of Lan Thailand before.
"I think this country is not a reflection of the reality of any other country on Earth."
"Otherwise, that would be too terrible."
"But you're curious, didn't Priestess Nora fear being killed for saying that right in front of them?"
"When you sense that the eerie power emanating from these people is stronger than your own, you should think that if you can avoid provoking them, then you should."
