Chapter 49 Saint Lan Monastery
"What Priestess Nora said doesn't help you understand why you shouldn't be afraid of these people."
"Even if they are not from this country, they possess a strong amount of supernatural power."
Seeing your still puzzled look, Priestess Nora laughed.
"To put it simply, anyone in this monastery must abide by the rules for outsiders. For now, they must follow the rules set by the abbot; from now on, they will follow the rules I establish," Priestess Nora explained.
"No matter how strong you are, you can't overcome the rules."
"So they don't dare to attack the people from the monastery unless the people from the monastery strike first. Do you understand now?"
"I see!" You breathed a sigh of relief, your heart finally at ease.
...
"Then, Priestess Nora went to the auction house's control room."
"You follow her closely, want to know what she's going to do, and keep an eye on her while you're at it."
She picked up the microphone from the live stream, cleared her throat, and said, "Distinguished guests, good evening. I am the head of the St. Lan Monastery."
"From today onwards, the Saint Lan Monastery will revert to its original monastic status and will no longer engage in organ transplant sales, MT pharmaceutical production, murder performances, auctions, live-streamed thrillers, catering, or other similar services."
"As for tonight's transaction, it's null and void. The money will be doubled and transferred to the original account."
"If you all agree, you can leave safely now. Of course, if you don't want to leave, you can stay forever."
"After he finished speaking, the entire auction hall echoed with discussions and curses."
"The voices, both understandable and incomprehensible, are all mixed together, both male and female."
...
"Follow Priestess Nora to the auction platform, where many people have gathered."
"They don't know exactly what happened yet; their auction was in full swing."
"The red-masked priests were explaining things to their respective guests, and then slowly people began to leave the auction house."
"Those young people who were still alive and were tied up were also temporarily taken away from the auction house."
"The dean died just like that, and the strange entity possessed another target."
"Now that there's a new headmaster, can we just ask Priestess Nora about the whole truth?"
"Besides, leaving the monastery seems much easier."
"But you always feel that things were resolved rather easily, which makes it hard for you to believe."
"After all, none of the previous Chosen Ones achieved a passing rating higher than A."
"But if you think about it again, you're incredibly lucky to have drawn an UR-level talent, so clearing the game won't be that difficult, which makes sense."
"However, everything now is a simulation, and we need to achieve the same in the real-world process."
"But can Priestess Nora do what she says? Will she become the next head priest?"
"You need to make other preparations."
"You've been observing them bustling around, seeing off the guests, and using strange objects to determine which priests, monks, and nuns are supernatural."
"After all the guests had left, Priestess Nora gathered the priests and the cooks and stewards together."
"There are more than forty priests in red masks, more than a dozen chefs in purple masks, three chefs in red masks, and more than a dozen administrators in the auction house."
"These people are not usually at the monastery; you've never seen them before."
"I thought the monastery only had a few dozen people."
"Even Priestess Nora is almost never at the hospital; she only comes to the auction house on the day of the auction."
...
"Qi Jia, you need to be prepared to attack Priestess Nora at any time. I'm afraid she'll summon the rules written by the ravens, which will kill us all," you said to Qi Jia.
"Qi Jia responded and came out of your body."
"Ever since you met Qi Jia, it seems like he's been existing as your brother's second personality."
"I wonder what kind of combat power Qi Jia, the first personality, has."
"Perhaps he's a coward and doesn't dare to come out and meet strangers."
"You've never put away the baseball bat in your hand."
...
"Priestess Nora stood before the crowd and produced a new piece of human skin."
"She appears to have completed her collaboration with the eerie entity and can now summon crows."
"As for the blind eye, it's the price of the pact with the supernatural. It's completely different from your containing the supernatural; it's an exchange, that's what she told you."
"Priestess Nora, holding a piece of parchment, began to chant incantations."
"You were afraid she would write a curse that would harm you, so you gave Qi Jia a look, and Qi Jia floated in front of Priestess Nora."
Priestess Nora looked up at you. "If you're worried, you can come and supervise me as I write the rules."
"Upon hearing this, you walked up to Priestess Nora, your gaze fixed on the parchment. It truly is a rule, not a curse."
"Rules for All Working Believers at St. Lan's Monastery"
"1. Anyone who leaves the St. Lan Monastery is prohibited from engaging in organ transplantation, MT pharmaceuticals, or related transactions."
"2. St. Lan's Monastery is just a monastery, used for training priests."
"3. Pastor Wang Yanjing will remain at St. Lan's Monastery as a cleaner forever."
"4. The restaurant is a regular restaurant, providing three normal meals a day with balanced nutrition."
"5. There were no bodies in the morgue."
"6. There were no bodies in the monastery."
"7. The relationships among the parishioners, monks, nuns, and priests of St. Lan's Monastery should be harmonious."
"8. All pastors who have transgressed God's will must confess within three days and accept punishment."
"After Priestess Nora stopped writing, she immediately took the rulebook from the Dean's pocket and tore it all out in front of everyone."
"Then they tore them up one by one and threw them away casually."
"Except for those agreements with guests, of course."
"The old rules are gone, new rules are coming," said Priestess Nora.
"Three years have passed, and everyone has made a lot of money. Let's spend the rest of our lives paying off our debts, and returning any money we shouldn't have taken."
"Then, Priestess Nora read out the new rules, which elicited discontent from some and tears of joy from others."
"Not all priests, monks, and nuns are willing to give up exorbitant profits, but they must abide by the rules."
"Retribution is swift; good deeds bring blessings, while evil deeds bring punishment."
...
"Priestess Nora arranged for the priests to take all the bodies from Tower 2 and the second basement level of the church to where they were to be taken."
"As for the person with the heart on the basement level, let her handle it herself."
Even after everyone left the auction house, you still didn't let your guard down around Priestess Nora.
"No one is free from greed, including yourself."
"So as long as He remains inside Priestess Nora, the Saint Lan Monastery could potentially return to being a place like the black market once again, you think."
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Priestess Nora asked.
You pursed your lips, but still spoke your mind, "You know my purpose, and He knows my purpose too. Although you are in a cooperative relationship now, He will control you sooner or later."
