Chapter 180 The white-haired ascetic priest of the Ping An Sanatorium, hello...
Chapter 179
Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and stood up from the chair.
He reached out his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally landed on the wooden door of the confession room. With a little force, the door pivot turned, and the door that seemed to be welded to death made a squeak. open in front.
A man in a nursing uniform from Ping An Nursing Home appeared in front of him. Although he was mentally prepared, Wen Jianyan couldn't help but suffocate when he looked at the other person's face.
The face that came had no facial features, the skin was pale and smooth, and it was bald.
His voice came clearly:
"Are you ready, Father?"
"Well," Wen Jianyan nodded habitually, but before he finished speaking, the 5 progress bar above his head suddenly began to drop, and returned to 0 again, and even continued to decline—
Wen Jianyan's heart suddenly tightened.
He didn't know what happened when the progress bar dropped to a negative number!
The other party's words just flashed across his mind, Wen Jianyan seemed to realize something suddenly, he turned his head, swept to the side subconsciously, and something hit his line of sight.
"Ah, I almost forgot about this."
he said calmly.
The downtrend was paused.
Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, turned around, walked to the small table beside him, slowly reached out, and picked up a pitch-black bottle from above.
The progress bar has risen back to 5%, and it continues to rise one by one.
Although Wen Jianyan is not a priest, not even a believer, and has not witnessed any exorcism ceremony, but after all, many film and television works are based on this theme, even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run away, but he still has a little bit of thought in his mind. conceptual.
Wen Jian swayed without a trace, there was a faint, almost untraceable sound of water, and he had some vague guesses in his heart.
——This is probably the holy water needed for the exorcism ceremony.
The cross, the Bible, the holy water...
There should be nothing else, right?
Wen Jianyan looked around - his location was no longer the gloomy catacomb "cave" before, but the chapel he once looked at after the bell rang.
High dome, sacred pulpit, rows of black wooden seats.
Wen Jianyan's gaze stayed in the third row for a moment.
There was nothing there, and there was no sign of Lu Si Liang.
After confirming that there was nothing he might carry nearby, he took a deep breath and turned his head: "Okay, let's go."
Faceless nodded: "Please."
Saying that, he turned around and led the way for Wen Jianyan.
The progress bar is steady at 10.
[Integrity First] The live broadcast room is already boiling:
"Oh oh oh oh! Oh my god!! This is the first time I've seen this hidden route!"
"Me too! I've watched Ping An Nursing Home for so long, and I haven't seen any anchors on this line ever open it!"
"The difficulty of this route is really harsh. Not only do you have to "touch" the catacomb "cave" of Xiaotang, and start the task of obtaining epic items, you also have to get the two ordinary hidden items in the dean's room before..."
"Yes, I came from Luce's live broadcast room. Although he had a Bible in his hand, he didn't open this branch after entering the confessional room. It should take two to open it together."
"God, I'm also excited, this wave of distance from the main quest is very, very quiet!"
"...Am I the only one taking screenshots silently?"
"Rescue... my priest who was dressed as a 'fascinated' by the anchor is dying!"
"!! Add me one in front!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Wen Jianyan followed behind and walked forward step by step.
The dark priest's uniform was tightly clasped under Wen Jianyan's neck, only revealing a thin line of white skin, the amber eyeballs were half hidden under the eyelashes of the same color, and the iris, which was not dark in color, It is a shallow, bright and almost false light falling from the top of the head, coating the blue-silver-white top with a light and holy halo. The shimmering light looked even more like a holy staff than a holy staff.
Soon, the two left the hall.
The door of the hall was closed behind, but what came out was not the familiar empty atrium, but a familiar metal door.
This is... a hidden laboratory in the Ping An Sanatorium?
"..."
Wen Jianyan was slightly startled.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him.
The location that used to be the gate of the hall has now disappeared, leaving only a void of chaos, like an abyss-like darkness.
It seems that in this special branch line, the concept of space is meaningless, and everything is only for the purpose of branch line tasks.
He took a deep breath, looked away, and walked towards the door.
The progress bar is 15.
Unlike the last time came here, the Ping An Sanatorium here has no trace of pollution at all. The scarlet flesh membrane on the top of the head has disappeared completely, leaving only the smooth and bright ceiling. The signs of filth and abandonment have been swept away. Like turning back time, showing a sign of rigour and neatness.
Faceless in a white coat walked around in the laboratory, walking in a hurry, talking to each other in a low voice.
The entire laboratory was enveloped in a tense, breathless atmosphere.
A faceless man stepped forward. He faced Wen Jianyan with his blank face and said, "Father, you are here, we will wait for you."
Wen Jianyan nodded silently, adhering to the principle of speaking more and making more mistakes, and speaking less and making fewer mistakes.
"Before the plan starts, we need you to come and hold an exorcism ceremony for these poor souls possessed by evil spirits," said Faceless, while drawing a standard cross on his chest: "May the Lord bless them."
Before the program starts?
Wen Jianyan keenly captured the key words in the other party's words.
"Have you brought everything you need?"
Faceless question.
Wen Jianyan nodded cautiously again.
The progress bar did not rise or fall, and remained above the number 15.
"Very good, please come with me." Faceless said, turning around and walking towards the depths of the laboratory.
Wen Jianyan followed behind him and swept his eyes to the side without a trace - without the obstruction of those thick and sticky sarcomas, the whole laboratory was in full view.
Due to the imminent danger and the wounded in his hands, the last time he left was very hasty, and he could only leave in a hurry without collecting too much information. In the case of swallowing, there is no way for him to return here to collect clues.
But what Wen Jianyan didn't know was that he actually came back in this way.
As he walked forward, his mind became active.
Do you want to... try to make a statement?
Suddenly, Wulian who was walking in front stopped, he turned his head, looked at Wen Jianyan, and said, "Father, let's start with number 01 first."
01? !
This familiar name made Wen Jianyan's body froze involuntarily, and subconsciously raised his eyes and looked forward.
In front of me is a small cubicle, almost the size of a ward, with small numbers branded on the iron nameplate at the door.
【01】
"..."
Wen Jianyan had a very ominous premonition.
I saw the faceless face in front of him sideways to make way for him, and the heavy iron gate in front opened silently and slowly: "Please exorcise him."
Seemingly aware of Wen Jianyan's rigidity, Wuyan added:
"Don't worry, he has been firmly tied up by us, you are not in danger."
Due to Wen Jianyan's stagnation, the progress bar above his head was about to move, and it seemed to be on a downward trend again.
"..."
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Thank you."
After speaking, Wen Jianyan bit the bullet and walked towards the first compartment.
The compartment is not big, and there is a restraint bed in the center. The hands and feet of the tall male are tightly bound to it, and his head is unkempt. Although his face is the same as the others in this branch, he has no facial features. , but it did not prevent Wen Jianyan from recognizing the identity of the other party.
"..."
Ripe belongs to yes.
After entering, 01, who was tightly bound to the bed, suddenly began to struggle. He didn't seem to mind the restraint belt on his body. With a strong, almost barbaric hostility, he struggled violently.
The iron bed made a "squeak" rubbing sound, and Wen Jianyan was shocked, almost giving the illusion that the other party had broken free, and could not help but take a step back.
At this moment, the empty task bar on the side was new.
The steps of the exorcism ritual are surfaced above.
Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, took out the props Bible from his pocket, and found a page according to the instructions.
Immediately afterwards, he unscrewed the small bottle, dipped a little holy water with his fingertips, carefully walked over the edge of the iron bed, and crossed the other's cold and pale forehead with his fingertips.
No. 01 struggled loudly.
Even without any words, Wen Jianyan could feel the strong killing intent escaping from the inside out - obviously, 01 in Zai didn't know him.
This is good for Wen Jianyan.
He took a deep breath, picked up the cross in one hand, pressed the cold metal to the soft and warm lips, and began to recite the above paragraphs in a low voice.
With the sound of the voice, the progress bar above his head began to slowly rise.
Qing's voice was low, clear and peaceful, even though he didn't believe in God, it didn't prevent his voice from being so pious and holy.
01's struggle gradually became smaller and quieter.
However, Wen Jianyan didn't think the task in this special branch line could be easily accomplished. He read the contents of the Bible as instructed, while being alert to possible dangerous situations.
Suddenly, he realized that in the sky in front of him, a translucent shape was slowly drawn out.
As the scriptures were read out line by line, the shape gradually solidified.
Tall, beast-like physique, deep-defined facial features, crazy blue eyes.
And that huge axe that was too terrifying compared to the class.
"!!!"
Wen Jianyan was taken aback.
Oops, he probably knew what the danger he was about to face in this special side quest!
In the next second, the phantom of No. 01 "showed" a paranoid and fanatical Wei, and slowly lifted the heavy axe, accompanied by the whistling of the wind, the giant axe fell heavily!
Wen Jianyan avoided it.
The translucent axe blade easily smashed the table next to it, and the sawdust cracked and scattered!
bad bad bad!
While cursing in a low voice, Wen Jianyan struggled to dodge in the narrow room, trying to avoid the sharp axe blade that hit him one at a time. He even tried to hide under the bed to induce the opponent to attack his own body, but, The axe slid through the bed board with ease and slashed hard on the ground beside him.
And after the axe was raised again, the bed and those lying on it were unscathed.
Damn, it still locks the damage!
Wen Jianyan's eyes went black.
The phantom image of 01 is a tireless machine, with only the instinct to attack, unable to communicate, unable to stop, and only attacking the only enemy in the entire room over and over again: the priest who held the exorcism ceremony for himself.
The harder it was for Wen Jianyan to avoid.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something—
He rolled forward on the spot, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the dusty Bible that had fallen on the ground, and quickly searched for the previous page.
Since this phantom was born due to the exorcism ceremony, as long as the exorcism ceremony is over, it should disappear!
Wen Jian spoke faster and continued to chant.
The paused progress bar overhead starts to rise again.
However, with the scriptures of exorcism echoing in the air, the phantom's movements became faster, and Wen Jianyan was almost hit several times.
His heart was beating wildly, and while his eyes were staring at the phantom's movements, he was constantly glancing at the pages of the book in his hand, and his lips stumbled as he read the words that were unclear and difficult to understand.
It is very difficult even for Wen Jianyan.
Soon, soon, the next paragraph is left!
Wen Jianyan was short of breath, murmured the prayer, her eyes fell, and she searched for the next sentence on the page—
He was only distracted for a second.
The whirring sound of the wind came violently, and the shadow fell from the top of the head at an uncapable speed. At that moment, only one sentence came out of Wen Jianyan's mind.
It's over, can't escape.
The priest clings to the corner of the wall in embarrassment, the jet-black robe wrapped around his body has become messy and dirty in the escape just now, covered with dust, silver-white silk sticks to the skin, and the cheekbones are wearing. The blushing of excessive movement, in the amber eyes, reflected the axe blade that was getting closer and closer.
Every second feels like it's been stretched out into a century.
[Integrity First] Live Room:
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
"Help me, I dare not look at mine! I dare not look at me!"
"No! My little priest, you can't come out!"
In addition to the wailing that the anchor was sure to die, there were also a lot of excited remarks:
"Cut down! Chop down!"
"Father turn around, okay!"
An icy system sound rang in my ears: [Detecting the special props in the anchor's backpack, does it consume Sanity to activate? 】
"activation!"
Almost no need, Wen Jianyan closed her eyes tightly and shouted at a high speed.
——The next second, the icy axe blade stopped abruptly just an inch away from his forehead.
pregnancy……
what?
Wen Jianyan's eyelashes moved and slowly opened, his sweat-soaked back was against the wall, panting in panic, and he couldn't react to the situation for a while.
He tilted his head cautiously and secretly looked in front of him——
I saw that in front of the 01 phantom, a bone phantom similar to a dog toy was suspended in mid-air, floating silently.
The frantic and frantic state of the other party instantly calmed down.
Those azure blue eyes seemed to have regained their rationality and sanity for a while.
01 tilted his head and looked at the priest in front of him with a thoughtful expression.
...to be appeased?
Wen Jianyan was stunned, and his eyes fell on the dog bones floating in front of him - wasn't this the hidden prop he was looking for in the ward of the 01 spiritual world before!
It seems that the hidden props in this dungeon are not just as simple as collectibles.
Whether it's the cross and Bible found in the dean's room, or the difficult-level hidden props in the spiritual world of high-risk patients, they all have their own roles in this dungeon.
In that case...
Wouldn't the other props he collected before also come in handy?
While Wen Jianyan was thinking about it, the phantom in front of him suddenly moved again.
The tall man's figure suddenly "approached", leaned down, opened his translucent arms, and wrapped the slender priest in front of him firmly in his arms, sniffing the tip of his nose between the other's neck, like Looking for something familiar.
"...?"
01's throat overflowed with "fascinated" and "confused" grunts.
Wen Jianyan was taken aback by the other party's actions, he seized the time to stop distracted, looked down at the crumpled Bible in his palm, and read the last sentence quickly.
At the moment when the voice fell, the phantom suddenly dissipated, and at the same time, the progress bar above Wen Jianyan's head also rose by 30.
"……call."
Wen Jianyan let out a long mouth, and suddenly felt that all his strength was drained. He leaned against the wall to support his weight and took a deep breath.
At least this is the end.
With sweaty, weak fingers, he closed the Bible, and as if to make sure of something, he "feeled" the inside of his pocket with the other hand—the expected emptiness.
For the rules of this scene, Wen Jianyan already had a general framework in mind.
Obviously, after entering the special line, he not only changed his outfit, but even the props he had obtained before were left out of this scene.
That is to say, next, he needs to exorcise the high-risk disease. During the exorcism, the other party also attacks him. If he spends Sanity Points, he can briefly use the props he obtained in the high-risk disease room.
According to the watch of 01 just now, the props have a very obvious soothing effect, which can buy him time to finish the exorcism prayer.
Wen Jianyan raised her eyes, and her eyes fell on the sanity health bar floating in the air.
I just used the props, which caused the blood bar to be bitten. According to the amount of the props used at one time, it can be used for about three times, which is roughly enough, but Wen Jianyan is not willing to face such a limit situation to prevent it from happening later. What an accident, so he tried hard during one of the high-risk exorcism processes, and tried to compress the number of props used to about 2 times.
No. 02's ability is difficult to deal with, two No. 03, and No. 04 are relatively suitable.
Thoughts circled around in his mind, Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, feeling that the power he had just lost was gradually coming back, he stood up, carefully patted the dust off his body, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, and straightened himself a bit. The crooked white neckline, after confirming that everything is normal, took a step and walked towards the door.
What he didn't notice was that behind him, after the exorcism ceremony, the No. 01 body, which was firmly tied to the bed, never struggled again. Because of the blank facial features, it was difficult to see whether he was awake or asleep. The only thing that changed was that when Wen Jianyan turned around and walked out, the face was also turning, as if his eyes were straight on him.
Wen Jianyan left the compartment of No. 01.
The faceless who brought him here was waiting outside. After looking at Wen Jianyan, he said, "Father, is the ceremony going well?"
Wen Jianyan nodded, and pretended to make a cross on his chest:
"May the Lord bless him."
"Let's continue."
In Room 01, Wen Jianyan has basically "find" the general clearance mode in this special scene, and he is very familiar with these high risks and has props that can restrain the opponent, so in addition to In the first compartment, he was extraordinarily busy because of the unfamiliarity, and the next exorcism was extraordinarily handy.
Soon, the exorcism rituals of No. 02, No. 03 and No. 04 all ended successfully.
Wen Jianyan's progress bar also successfully increased by 90.
After leaving room 04, he stared at the progress bar above his head, showing a suspicious look.
In addition to the 15 progress gained from admitting identity, preparing props, and entering the laboratory at the beginning, every time an exorcism ceremony is held for a high-risk event, the progress bar will increase by 15 - Lornell added up to a total of 30, But even though all the high-risk diseases in his impression have been experienced once, his progress bar is still a little short of 100%.
strangeness……
How can the next step be accomplished?
Is it related to Dr. Reese?
Wen Jianyan pursed her lips, with a solemn expression on her face.
Among these NPCs, he has never entered the spiritual world of Dr. Reese, and he does not even know the name of the other party. If 10% of them are related to Dr. Reese, then he will need it. Do it carefully.
He took a deep breath and stepped out of the ward of No. 04.
As soon as he came out, the faceless who had been guiding him all along greeted him:
"Father, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work," Wen Jianyan shook her head and lied without blushing, "all of this is for the Lord's karma."
Therefore, the other party was greatly moved:
"Yours is merciful and pious, and it is simply a saint alive in the world."
After complimenting him like St. John, the faceless words changed: "You know, our plan is about to start, before we start, maybe the last exorcism work needs your participation... It's just that , this might be something special..."
Wen Jianyan was refreshed and instantly realized that the other party should get to the point.
"Then specially...take you there."
Without a face, he turned his head and looked behind him.
A slender, meticulously headed, equally faceless man stepped forward from a few steps away and nodded to Wen Jianyan:
"Father."
The voice was so familiar that even without any prompting, Wen Jianyan could easily recognize the other party from this blank state with no facial features.
The faceless Doctor Race said, "Please come with me."
With that said, he turned around and walked forward first.
Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, calmed down, and followed suit.
The distance wasn't too long, but just a few short steps away, Wen Jianyan realized that the number of staff around was greatly reduced, and the line of sight instantly became empty.
Dr. Reiss stopped:
"It's here."
The one in front of you is the inner, hidden compartment, and it is almost difficult to see what it looks like from the angle just now.
Wen Jianyan's gaze fell on the nameplate of the iron gate in front of her, her breath suffocated slightly.
