Chapter 53 Saint Lan Monastery
After the cloaked figures left, Priestess Nora revised the rules.
The two returned to the church together, but the monastery remained silent, lacking the usual liveliness and atmosphere.

When Wen Qi saw the ghost face mask's function, her heart skipped a beat.
She quickened her pace back to the ward and immediately took out the ghost mask from the system space. It was a panda face mask with Halloween makeup.
Wen Qi infused the mask with strange power, and the mask immediately transformed into a little panda.
She had a small pumpkin-shaped bag hanging around her neck, filled with dried bamboo shoots, and wore a pumpkin-colored leather jacket and a round cape hat.
The moment Wen Qi saw this little thing, she fell in love with it immediately.
Unfortunately, upon closer inspection, the little thing was lifeless, like a puppet.
"Does it require activation or a contract or something?" Wen Qi pondered, rubbing her chin.
After withdrawing his demonic power, he dripped a drop of blood onto the mask.
In an instant, the mask automatically transformed into a panda.
The little panda bowed gracefully to Wen Qi and called out softly, "Master."
Wen Qi picked it up and started lifting it high in the air.
The viewers in front of the screen naturally saw this scene as well.
"Is this the reward Sister 7 got? I really want one too! Damn, I'm actually starting to look forward to the next time I get to go to the weird world."
+1
"Report it!"
"Different aesthetic standards don't need to be forced. If you think it's ugly, you can close your eyes. No one is forcing you to look."
"Since we met Wen Qi, we don't seem to be so afraid of the world of ghost stories anymore."
"Has anyone been able to deduce what the identity of that Priestess Nora really is?"
"I don't know."
"Ask the same question!"
"It seems that this is the first time in history that someone like Priestess Nora has come forward to contain the supernatural. Is it because our Seventh Sister is too outstanding and defeated the supernatural that someone came forward to contain her? That person even said that she would protect Seventh Sister."
"Actually, if they are more careful and cautious, most of the chosen ones can successfully pass the test, but some of them are too nervous and some are too arrogant."
"Indeed, although it is more difficult than the last dungeon, it is not as difficult as hell."
"Why haven't we been notified yet that our Dragon Kingdom's chosen ones have passed the test? Shouldn't this be considered the elimination of the anomaly?!"
"Yeah, yeah, I knew something was missing. Turns out it was the sound that indicated successful completion of the level."
...
[Announcement to the entire planet: Congratulations to Wen Qi, the Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom, for investigating all the transactions at the monastery, obtaining clues about "He," and achieving the SS-level completion condition.]
[Reward: Dragon Kingdom's National Fortune Value +20; Two random resource rewards; Dragon Kingdom's current National Fortune Value +80; No natural disasters or negative events within its borders.]
[Wetland and forest resources within the Dragon Kingdom have been restored, resulting in the acquisition of 500,000 square kilometers of wetland resources and 1 million square kilometers of forest resources.]
Live stream chat:
"???"
Why wasn't it an SSS-rank clear?
"Is the system okay? Does the system cheat too?"
"Perhaps it's because we haven't truly broken free of the cage, we've only defeated the strange?"
"Screw it!"
...
[Ding! The Saint Lan Monastery dungeon quest is complete. Does the Chosen One wish to leave the dungeon?]
Leaving the instance? So fast?
She'd only been here three days, and she hadn't even finished eating the stuff she'd snatched from the vending machine.
Wen Qi was completely bewildered at this moment.
Just a second ago she was still immersed in the joy of receiving the ghost face mask.
The next second, I found out that I hadn't cleared the game with an SSS rank.
God knows how many times she died in the simulation in order to achieve SSS-level completion and all five resource rewards.
She decisively chose no.
Wen Qi thought about it carefully and connected all the clues together.
So she took out all the slips of paper with hints written on them, one of which she still hadn't figured out.
That is, "There is no need to break the cage, just jump out of it. Only by jumping out of the cage can you see the truth."
"Could the final 3% of the dungeon progress be contained in this sentence?" Wen Qi murmured.
"In addition, the conditions for clearing the SSS-level also seem to mention 'breaking free from the cage'."
It seems the matter of the monastery hasn't been completely resolved yet.
Therefore, the system determined that it had only uncovered the truth.
...
It was already 8 p.m., which was the patient's rest time.
Wen Qi arrived at 416, but after an afternoon, Celia was no longer there.
Perhaps they escaped.
They escaped...? Why did they escape?
At this moment, Wen Qi finally understood the meaning of the words that Priestess Nora had left for her.
She immediately took off her nun's habit.
Wen Qi had always considered Seria a Protestant, and she herself always wore religious clothing.
In reality, neither he nor Celia were contaminated.
Others were not originally corrupted, but they were truly corrupted after praying with the pastors.
The role of a believer, and the name of the Saint Lan Monastery, is a cage.
Even if St. Lannister Monastery returns to normal later.
Those believers imprisoned here are not actually corrupted.
What we see with our own eyes as believers being corrupted and needing to pray may not be the truth.
Illegal transactions that are invisible to the naked eye may still exist.
Break free from the cage and see the truth.
Thinking of this, Wen Qi knew how to obtain the final progress of the dungeon.
She fell into a deep sleep, while the viewers in the Dragon Kingdom stayed glued to the live stream, waiting for Wen Qi's return.
...
Wen Qi slept soundly overnight.
Most of the viewers in front of the screen ended up with panda eyes.
Some of them have been doing live streams for three consecutive days.
Even after Wen Qi fell asleep at night, they remained active in the live chat.
At eight o'clock, Wen Qi went to the restaurant, where she met Little Cooper.
Wen Qi snatched ten bottles of almond water from a vending machine in the corner of the church.
Then she waited there for the believers who, unaware of the situation, came to the restaurant to eat every day on time.
When one of them came, she threatened them with a nunchaku and forced each of them to drink three bottle caps of almond water.
After drinking the almond water, the dozens of believers in the monastery gradually regained their senses.
As for Little Cooper, Wen Qi had him say goodbye to Qi Jia and gave him several packs of compressed biscuits and snail rice noodles.
The monastery gates are no longer closed, and all the administrators have been taken in by Priestess Nora.
All the bodies were sent to where they were supposed to be.
All the pastors, nuns, nurses, cooks, and cleaners who broke the law and made money against their conscience have turned themselves in.
Priestess Nora posted a job ad online; true believers are coming soon.
