Chapter 20 Saint Lan Monastery
You silently encouraged yourself, and then opened the door again.
"Go in, close the door, and then start hammering that four-legged, heart-shaped man like a blacksmith."
"You're hitting harder and harder, and sometimes you even crack the wall when you hit it."
"The four-legged heart man seems to be very afraid of your little devil hammer."
"You now possess five points of supernatural power, and you can sense the fear emanating from the four-legged heart-man towards you."
"In no time, the four-legged heart man has been smashed into a pile of mud by you."
"Looks like we can kill him!" You sighed, relieved that you'd escaped unscathed.
"You don't know if all twenty rooms are filled with people with mummy hearts like this."
"If it all comes out at once, you won't be able to handle it."
"Now, killing one of them consumes a third of your stamina."
"Just when you excitedly think that you have cleverly dealt with a four-legged heart man."
"You suddenly realize that you are only simulating this, and in reality, the four-legged heart man has not been killed by you."
You dragged the little devil hammer out of the room, dejected.
"Although it was just a simulation of killing a four-legged heart man, it wasn't without its gains."
...
"Continue towards the other rooms."
"The master key I bought from the Ghost City is indeed very useful."
You made a self-deprecating remark, "Sigh, my memory's not so good; I almost borrowed the key from the security guard earlier."
"Are you going to open all the rooms and take a look?"
"You need to determine how many four-legged heart people there are, and you want to find out where they came from."
"These four-legged, heart-bearing people have blood vessels connected to their hearts on their backs and hands; there must be some big secret behind them."
"And the four-legged heart man you just killed, you're suspicious about the missing organs he had."
"Could these four-legged, heart-born people have once been like you, newly arrived believers in a monastery?"
"After being exploited by those cloaked figures, was he transformed into a monster by 'He,' or is this what MT potions are supposed to look like?"
"You absolutely must not be turned into that inhuman, ghost-like state."
"If you want to survive, make sure you reach an A rating, and try your best to get an SS rating."
"Defeating the supernatural and the bizarre is unlikely; it's too difficult."
"However, just as you locked the door, you heard footsteps."
"If you look closely, you'll see a duty officer wandering around doing inspections."
"You pretend to be here to check on the heart oxygenation experiment, and without batting an eye, you go and open the next room."
"At that moment, the duty officer also saw you."
He walked towards you, saying, "Greetings, Lady Nora!"
"The staff member on duty greeted you, which made you more and more confused. There was no name on the cross, so how did they think you were Nora?"
You didn't say anything, you just nodded slightly in response.
To find out what was going on, you asked the staff on duty, "Did anyone else come to the basement level yesterday?"
"Duty Officer: 'Lady Nora, you must be joking. Besides you, who would dare come to the basement without the Dean and the Bishop's permission?'"
"you:......"
"I never imagined that the monk's robe you casually stole belonged to someone of such high status. Was he a priest, a clergyman, or perhaps one of the bishops? You don't know anything about these things from abroad."
"No wonder the duty officer mistook you for Nora. Other priests, monks, and nuns have to follow the rules or have the approval and review of the abbot and bishop to come here."
"You've finished your conversation with the duty officer and are continuing your room search."
"We must explore the first and second basement levels before this fake identity is exposed."
...
"Thanks to your tireless efforts and self-control, after twenty minutes, we finally managed to find only three rooms left on the basement level."
"The result is very frustrating. All sixteen rooms are just like the four-legged heart man you killed."
"You mustered your courage and went to the last three rooms, opening the third-to-last door."
"This time, what came into view was not a four-legged, heart-shaped person, but a man."
"A pale-faced underage boy whose heart, kidneys, and reproductive organs have been removed."
"The floating heart we saw in other rooms was now connected to a man's hand on one side and a heart on the other, just like a patient receiving an IV drip."
"You went to check the remaining two rooms, and they were in the same state as the man from before."
"These three people are not aggressive towards you, but you still feel fear towards them."
"Or perhaps it's a fear of strange creatures."
"He acted as if he knew you very well, and he looked at you with pleading eyes."
"You have activated the evil power within you."
"The next moment, everything in front of me changed."
"The man turned into a four-legged heart-man; he was extremely violent and wanted to attack you."
"You withdrew your evil power and found that they had returned to normal."
"You know it must be because of the supernatural power. The supernatural power has special functions here? That doesn't make any sense."
"Is Nora able to come to the basement level because she also possesses supernatural powers?"
"At this moment, these people looked like they had been emptied out."
"When you activate your supernatural power, they become four-legged, heart-shaped beings."
"However, the similarity is that no matter whether you activate your supernatural power or not, you can see that these people are connected to their hearts."
"You looked around the room before you found the light switch."
"You turn on the light and you see a small table on the right side of the wall with the words 'Organ Donation Experiment' written on it."
"There is another line of explanation below the word 'big'."
"Organ donation: Using the blood from a recently deceased person's body, and with the help of supernatural powers, the body can be preserved and used as a donor."
"When the donor then supplies the heart organ, it can achieve the same effect as live organ nourishment, thus maintaining the heart's activity without the need for cryopreservation."
"The best punishment for believers who don't pray is to turn them into donors of hearts."
...
"It turns out that those hearts were indeed nourished by these living dead people, which is why they were able to keep their hearts active."
"You wouldn't believe how ruthless this monastery is in its pursuit of money; no wonder the food in the restaurant is so good."
"It seems that this monastery is not only involved in the production of MT drugs, but also in organ transplants, which is likely illegal."
"Trafficking in ignorant poor people, then murdering them for organ harvesting, and selling organs and even human bodies at high prices."
"Is this monastery's operation merely a part of some bizarre world, or a replica modeled after a country on Earth?"
"This method of using human blood and supernatural power to nourish the heart is not tolerated by the world, but other countries on Earth do indeed have muti witch medicine."
"Moreover, it involves killing people and using their blood and bodies to provide sustenance."
Now that you know part of the truth, you probably want to tear this monastery down.
"But your reason tells you you can't, you have to survive, this is a copy of a bizarre world."
"To save the believers here, we must find 'He' and eliminate him; otherwise, it will only be a temporary solution."
"Currently, you only have one target for this 'He,' which is either the dean or the boy in red."
"It was the Dean who was receiving the cloaked figures and making a deal with them."
"But the boy in red is the source of the cage, and he must also be a key figure."
