Chapter 672 - 672: Ghost Nun
Chapter 672: Chapter 672: Ghost Nun
In fact.
If the depths of the monastery really were the [Gate of the Demon] to Hell, Han Dong wouldn’t mind as much.
After all, Han Dong had, in reality, once visited Hell, where the familiar Captain Marlon was a King-Level Existence there.
Besides, it would to some extent resolve Togu’s problem… taking Togu back to the origin zone of Hell for a while should fully recover Togu.
While eyeing the text on the stone tablet in the hall that spoke about the monastery, Han Dong thought to himself:
“The mayor did not pay attention because of a problem with the [Gate of Demon] in the monastery.
The history of the monastery is quite ancient and should be counted among the earliest buildings in Other Derry Town.
If there was truly a problem, an incident would have occurred long ago.
The real issue must be related to the ‘clown’… As soon as the ‘clown’ was brought back to Derry Town, many problems arose, including the monastery locust event that happened three years ago.”
In the time everyone was staring at the stele.
An unknown darkness slowly infiltrated the hall area, only the candlelight was maintained brightly.
The person in charge of the monastery arrived, which was also accompanied by the sound of a system prompt.
“Other Resident [Nun-Valaka] (VALAK) Descends”
Cass was the first to block the crowd with his Cold Iron Shield, while Diana quickly grew two bone swords from the palms of her hands.
“I’ll negotiate…”
Han Dong hurriedly took a step forward, keeping the two behind him.
Now, they were not invaders, but residents who came to the monastery under normal circumstances.
Even though there was a deadly and terrifying aura emanating from the darkness, Han Dong’s first choice was still to negotiate.
In the darkness,
A pallid-faced nun floated out from the darkness, with eyes wide open (black pupils with yellow irises), and she bore an uncanny resemblance to the American singer Marilyn Manson.
“How did you get in? (Demon Language)”
“A nun brought us in.” Han Dong replied adeptly in Demon Language while showing his Pass.
Nun Valaka shows unusually terrifying yellow pointed teeth, and the eerie voice from all around in the darkness adds pressure:
“Impossible, I did not receive any news about visitors… Even if Sam arranged for you to come and carry the universal pass, you need to go through a strict audit by the monastery to be admitted.
Could it… be that the ‘locusts’ ran out again?”
The Ghost Nun Valaka’s expression was serious, seemingly troubled.
Han Dong was taken aback, could it be that the succubus who led them in was not part of the monastery? With that thought,
Han Dong quickly hid the key that the succubus had given earlier to avoid detection by person in charge of the monastery.
With an innocent façade, Han Dong explained how they entered the monastery: “We followed the signpost, crossed the graveyard of the victims, and came to the front gate of the monastery.
We met a nun who had hanged herself at the gate.
A succubus separated from inside her and guided us into the monastery.”
“The main entrance of the monastery was permanently sealed due to the ‘Locust Disaster’ two years ago.
The entrance to the monastery has already been moved to a hidden path between cliffs… The hanged nun you mentioned is the ‘Source of Locusts’ that was killed by the clerk.
Since you were appointed by the community, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the monastery. Follow me!”
The Ghost Nun Valaka, as a manager, took this matter very seriously.
She immediately took Han Dong and his group to the gate area to verify their story.
“This woman… is not weak.”
Following behind the ghostly nun, Han Dong could feel the strong and dense demonic aura.
And she was continuously releasing ‘darkness’… Being appointed by the Mayor as the manager of the monastery, she must inherently be quite strong.
The Ghost Nun led the group up the cliffside using the monastery’s secret passage.
Once back on the ground, they followed a woodland path to the main gate of the monastery, as described by Han Dong and his companions.
During their trip across the graveyard.
The Ghost Nun suddenly stopped in front of a grave, reaching deeply into the soil…
Chirp-chirp~
A fat locust, about half the size of an arm.
Its exterior is a dense, curved tooth-like shell, with crimson wings and a large, human-like mouth.
The moment she caught the locust.
The Ghost Nun immediately drove her nail into its body, injecting dark energy into it.
Quickly, it died and turned into a viscous black substance.
“There are indeed locusts! Follow me… if that thing is revived, we must kill it.”
When they crossed the graveyard and reached the main gate of the monastery again.
The hanging nun still hung there… However, her once ‘fresh’ skin had deteriorated, turning completely into a dried-up corpse.
There’s a huge opening on her back, precisely where the eye-like eggs were removed.
“There is still a trace of the locust’s scent left!
When you just came to the main gate, did an egg with eyes fall from her body, and then a new succubus emerged?”
“Yes.”
“I didn’t expect it to revive after two years… it’s indeed the hardest to kill locust in Hell! I must report this to the town hall and let the clerk handle it personally.”
“Miss Valaka, please remain calm, I don’t think it’s necessary to report this for now.
If terrifying beings like the clerks appear, the so-called locusts will be frightened and hide in the deepest places, making it difficult to kill them… It would be better for us, along with your help, to try to find its real form.
To kill it face-to-face, that’s the best solution.”
The Ghost Nun abruptly leaned her ominous face forward, staring at Han Dong, “You… you are the new resident who assisted the inspector in killing Dean Richard.”
“Yes, I have some methods that can kill demons.”
The Ghost Nun revealed her dimly yellowed teeth, chuckling softly, “How about this… since your pass is valid for three days, I’ll give you three days to investigate and find the hidden locust.
If you can’t, I’ll let the people at the town hall handle it.”
“Thank you, Miss Valaka.”
The group left through the main gate.
Han Dong turned his head to look at the hanging nun, inspect the eerie graveyard, and casually feel the key in his pocket, already having some guesses in his mind.
Back in the monastery.
Han Dong took the opportunity to ask the administrator of the monastery:
“Miss Valaka, there is one thing I don’t quite understand… Since they are all demons, why are you tasked with suppressing the ‘Hell Locusts’ and whatever is behind the Gate of the Demon?”
“Hell is quite big.
All of us are fundamentally different, I am loyal to the mayor, and the nuns under my control are all qualified citizens of Derry Town… But the demons behind that gate are different.
Their invasion only leads to the destruction of Derry Town.”
“Oh.”
At this moment, it seemed that the Ghost Nun Valaka had received a message, pulling out a stack of documents and a pendant from within her.
“My subordinate has just confirmed your identities from Sam.
These are detailed files about the ‘Hell Locusts,’ which should assist your investigation… The pendant will allow you to move freely in any area of the monastery.
If your investigation involves the inside of the Gate of the Demon, I must accompany you.”
