Chapter 10 Saint Lan Monastery 10
"Daniel, can I go to the prayer room with you? I don't want to pray alone in my room. Could you take me to the prayer room?"
"You said this morning I was almost better, but it seems like I have a second personality. She even threatened you. I apologize on her behalf. I'm sorry."
"Daniel, can you forgive my violent personality?"
Daniel's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but it quickly disappeared.
Daniel spoke calmly, "It's nothing serious. As a doctor, I understand dissociative identity disorder very well. You don't need to blame yourself."
"However, you cannot enter the prayer room for the time being, so I cannot grant your request."
"As Daniel was leaving, you took out the nunchaku again and pressed it against the back of his head."
You switched back to your original tone, threatening Daniel, "Take me there, why can't I go in?"
"Daniel didn't answer, no matter how you threatened him, he wouldn't say anything, he just made a shushing gesture at you."
"You don't quite understand what he's trying to say, but you're reminded of the flash of inspiration you had during the previous simulation from your earlier conversation with Daniel."
"You've finally come up with a solution; you've remembered the pastor's code of conduct."
"You knocked Daniel unconscious, stole his keys, stripped him of his clothes, and laid him on the bed."
"After removing the veil, you find that Daniel himself is quite good-looking, especially his hands."
"Your sudden inspiration came from the fact that you originally wanted to be a doctor, because if you became a doctor you wouldn't have to pray every day. Later, robbing the cleaner's clothes made you realize something: just steal the clothes directly."
"Not long after, you, dressed in Daniel's white monk's robes and wearing a monk's veil, arrived at the prayer chapel from before, opened the door, and went inside."
"This time, you've successfully torn off that 'Priest's Code'."
"There's red lettering on the back!"
"They were taken in—strange—heart people—."
"Although there are red words, you can't understand what they're trying to say at all; a lot of them have been crossed out."
"Strange? Are you saying the waiter is strange? What's a 'heart person'?"
"Is being harvested the same as being exploited? You are utterly shocked by these rules and clues."
"You thought about it carefully again. Here is the 'Clergy Code of Conduct,' which, combined with the introduction to the monastery's organizational structure, is displayed."
"You are even more convinced that there are also nuns' codes, priests' codes, cleaners' codes, waiters' codes, and so on."
"You've made another significant discovery: it seems that to access the carriers of rules, one must wear the uniform of that profession in order to touch and examine them."
"That's why each profession has its own attire, and you have to make sure you're always wearing monk's robes or priest's robes."
"But who are those people wearing brightly colored cloaks? This word has appeared twice in your memory. Are they business people?"
"It must be them, but you don't seem to have seen them at the monastery."
"You silently recited the [Pastor's Code] several times."
"Then I plan to take advantage of this time to search for the [Cultivator's Code of Conduct]. I don't know where this code of conduct is."
"Daniel's monk's robes should work. With a try-it-out mentality, you returned to the tower where your room was located via the covered bridge."
"Go down the stairs and get ready to go to the first floor to take a look."
...
You cautiously approached the lobby on the first floor. Due to your height and build, even though you were wearing clothes and a hat, some people still recognized that you were not Daniel.
"She immediately called the waiter and said you stole the doctor's white monk's robe, and also called several people to surround you."
"A waiter in a blue mask arrived shortly afterward."
"You didn't resist, wanting to see where he would take you and investigate the strangeness of this waiter."
"If they resist, they might be taken to pray again."
"Soon, he led you to the basement of the prayer chapel, where there are many rooms without room numbers."
"You were pushed into a dark room in the middle school, with only a small opening of about eight or nine square centimeters letting in a sliver of light."
"The whole room was gloomy and terrifying; the walls looked like they were stained with blood, but you weren't sure if it was blood."
Suddenly, you heard a faint sound.
"You turn around and a mummy lunges at you, baring its teeth. Its body is covered in bandages and it has four arms."
"You reacted quickly and pulled out a nunchaku, dodging while trying to see exactly what it was."
"But the mummy is faster than you, and your vision is somewhat obstructed, so the nunchaku can't touch it at all."
"You tried to open the door, but it was no use; you could only wave it twice in vain."
"It caught you in a few moves, grabbed your waving right hand, and then pulled the nunchaku."
"Only then did you see that there were many tubes inserted into one of the mummy's hands."
"Those tubes were connected to several blood-red hearts, which floated in mid-air, and the hearts seemed to be beating."
"Before you were completely torn apart by the mummy, you stretched out your sticky hand and took a look."
"Your hands were covered in sticky blood, and it smelled rotten and filthy."
"Your will shatters, your consciousness returns."
"Simulation complete! Current Weirdness value: 5 points; Survival time: 35 minutes."
When Wen Qi opened her eyes again, she was panting heavily.
Her heart was pounding with fear, and she had no strength left to resist.
Even with the strange weapon in hand, he was completely outmatched by the mummy wrapped in bandages in terms of speed, strength, and combat experience.
Moreover, that thing was pulling on several hearts, as if it were supplying the heartbeats. Could this be the Heart Man mentioned in the Scarlet Letter?
...
Real time continued, and at this moment, Daniel walked out of Wen Qi's room.
Now that she had obtained all the information about the [Priest's Code] during the simulation, Wen Qi did not intend to take any risks and would also dissect Daniel's monk's robes in real life.
Wen Qi still felt a lingering fear when she thought about the mummy heart-shaped person in the basement room.
However, during the simulation, she discovered the hidden rules again, but this time there was no announcement across the entire planet to receive the reward.
Just as she was wondering, the staff of the Dragon Core Base in the Dragon Kingdom sent Wen Qi an off-site message.
Wen Qi didn't answer; she was deep in thought at the moment.
It was discovered that by wearing different clothes, one could access carriers with different rules.
Does it mean you won't get the reward if you don't actually take any action? After all, everything was done independently within the four-dimensional world space.
Wen Qi had no choice but to decide to do it again in real life based on the simulation, and then she hung up the off-site call from Fu Ding.
The phone call being hung up, while not affecting the opportunity to seek help from outside the venue, still caused the people in China great anxiety.
Besides wanting to share their previous findings with Wen Qi, they also had another crucial point: wearing different clothes seemed to grant them access to different correct rules.
However, Wen Qi's next move almost gave the senior management of the Loongson base a heart attack, and Wen Jiu was so worried that she couldn't eat and paced back and forth in her room.
