Chapter 13 The First Law of Occultism
Wu Chang's eyes went dark, and when he came to his senses, two kerosene lamps appeared almost right next to his face, so bright that he felt dizzy.

He covered one eye with the back of his hand, adjusted to the sudden light, and muttered softly:

"This woman is too impatient."

He had only been in the Moonlight Sanatorium for two days, and it was still early for the deadline Julie had mentioned. He had originally wanted to collect more information and contact the dean again in two days, but Julie said "it's too late" and pushed him into a door.

After a brief adjustment, he followed the light, walked through a short corridor, and came to a spacious office.

Compared to the bright corridor, the office was much darker. Like other wards, it was lit by only a dim kerosene lamp.

In the dim light, you can see a huge shadow crawling on the desk.

As he stepped into the room, the black shadow shook its body and stood up like a giant beast that was awakened.

As the black shadow stood up, Wu Chang's gaze changed from looking straight at him to looking up at him.

Dean Randy is over three meters tall, with shoulders as broad as a wall and arms as big as an adult male's waist. With long golden hair, he looks like a standing lion.

Not to mention Randy's outrageous height, even if an ordinary person takes steroids and testosterone as a meal, he can't build up to this size.

Dean Randy’s fitness medication plan is not copied from Arnold.

Wu Chang really wanted to go out and ask Julie if she was sure that Randy’s ancestors were magicians and not berserkers.

Randy walked to two meters in front of Wu Chang, looked at the intruder in front of him, and felt the oppressive feeling coming towards him. Wu Chang swallowed, not knowing where to start.

Perhaps out of sympathy for Wu Chang's predicament, Randy found a topic for him.

Randy took out a thick smoothbore rifle nearly two meters long from his back, pointed the muzzle at Wu Chang's forehead, and muttered to himself:
"My condition has worsened again. My hallucinations can even turn into strangers."

"Dean, don't shoot! It's me." Now Wu Chang knew how to start.

"you are?"

"I am the royal envoy from the royal city. His Majesty asked me to bring you a message."

Wu Chang was afraid that Randy would not believe him, so he quickly handed over the king's badge in his hand.

Randy originally didn't want to waste time talking to Wu Chang, and planned to quickly end today's illusion and return to work. However, the moment his eyes swept across the king's emblem, his gaze was fixed on it and he couldn't move.

This creation represents the pinnacle of human magic and craftsmanship, and possesses unparalleled magnificence. Although it is made only of metal, it will not be inferior to any other dazzling jewels.

It does not require any anti-counterfeiting measures. You only need to see it to believe that it is the king's emblem.

Randy is very confident in his aesthetic taste; this is not something he can dream up out of thin air.

is the real thing.

After confirming Wu Chang's identity, Randy's expression eased. He reluctantly returned the badge to Wu Chang and asked:
"Why did the special envoy come this time? Does Your Majesty still believe in the myth of cursed gold?"

Wu Chang shook his head, put on the posture of a special envoy, paced around the dean's office, and said:
"No, I came here for Baishi Town. According to our preliminary investigation, the strange things happening in Baishi Town are due to the presence of the Church of Tranquility."

Hearing the words "Quiet Church", Randy frowned subconsciously.

Seeing that Randy was wavering, and with the endorsement of his identity as the king's special envoy, Wu Chang was ready to take the opportunity to persuade Randy to face reality and awaken the abilities in his blood.

"Dean Randy, do you believe in the existence of the occult?"

Randy answered firmly: "I don't believe it."

Wu Chang was about to say the prepared lines, but when he looked up, something blocked his words.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the golden crossbow hanging on the wall. Next to the crossbow were three silver crossbow arrows that looked like works of art. The crossbow arrow in the middle exuded a deep red resentment.

Perhaps it was because too many years had passed, the scenes contained in the resentment had dissipated, leaving only an ordinary will and a bloody will.

"The First Law of Mysticism: Human cognition is one of the origins of the existence of mysticism. The more people believe in its existence, the stronger its power becomes. The best seal is not to guard it tightly, but to forget it completely."

[Destroy or completely seal the remaining soul of the evil god Lehman. ]

The first law of mysticism? "How about it? It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Randy's voice sounded from behind, awakening Wu Chang from his thoughts.

"This golden crossbow is the result of my ancestors' continuous battles, fought in blood and fire. It is also proof of the Anderson family's former glory. Although it is not as good as the king's emblem, it is also a rare work of art in the world. Even in the most desperate times, the family never thought of selling it."

"Its existence has always reminded me to be down-to-earth and to revive the family with my own hands like my ancestors did, rather than pinning my hopes on myths and legends."

Wu Chang pursed his lips and swallowed the words he had prepared in advance. "I'm sorry, it's really beautiful. It's so beautiful that it fascinates me. Where was I just now?"

"You asked me if I believe in the existence of the occult," Randy replied.

"What's your answer?"

"Do not believe."

Wu Chang nodded and agreed: "I don't believe it either."

"Huh?" Randy was a little surprised by Wu Chang's answer.

Wu Chang took out the Silver Dawn and said sincerely:
"Besides being a royal envoy, I am actually a scientist and an engineer. This gun is my work. I firmly believe that the future of mankind lies in machinery and science."

Randy only took a glance and was amazed at the smallness and exquisiteness of the short musket. Even when he was studying medicine in the capital, he had never seen such an exquisite musket.

When Randy realized that the other party was also a scientist, his eyes instantly became much friendlier.

Wu Chang continued, “After my investigation, I suspect that the Tranquility Church is producing some kind of hallucinogenic drugs.”

"Psychedelic drugs?"

"Yes. While that drug is addictive, it will also erode the user's mind, making them mentally unstable and blurring the boundaries between reality and illusion. And everything seen in the illusion will become a miracle in the eyes of the Tranquility Church."

Randy thought for a moment, returned to his desk, picked up a pen, and said solemnly:

"As you can see, the situation in White Rock Town has gotten out of control, and it is difficult to save it with the power of one person alone. I will give you a doctor's pass. With it, you can move freely in the sanatorium and White Rock Town. Take this opportunity to leave and tell His Majesty your findings."

When Wu Chang heard about the pass, his face lit up with joy. He didn't expect that clearing the dungeon would be so easy.

Wait, isn't that a little too easy?

He looked at the king's badge in his hand, narrowing his eyes and thinking carefully.

Julie’s goal wasn’t to get a pass from the beginning.

The woman who could sit back and watch so many players die is definitely not a soft-hearted person. If the opportunity to escape is presented to her, she will definitely stab the cheap ally she just met in the back.

Wu Chang quickly walked up to Randy and said righteously:

"No, it's precisely because the situation is so critical that I can't leave. The journey to the capital is long and it will take nearly a month. By the time I come back, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"Even if I die, I will destroy the evil plan of the Serenity Church. I cannot sit idly by and watch this tragedy happen!"

Randy was infected by Wu Chang's spirit and said immediately:
"Bai Shi Town is my territory. How can I let you, the special envoy, risk your life alone? You must include me in the list. As long as you need anything, no matter what your request is, I will try my best to satisfy it."

"I really do have something that needs your help, Dean." Wu Chang took the opportunity to say.

"The Church of Tranquility chose White Rock Town as the location for the experiment. I guess in addition to revenge, they were also afraid of the Anderson family. I suspect that the arcane knights back then had a way to cure paranoia."

"Is there a place like an underground storage room here that stores information about the Mystic Knights?"

Randy raised his eyebrows and said, "There really is an underground secret room that stores old books left by our ancestors. Although I think the possibility is small, you can try your luck."

"And one more thing."

Wu Chang looked at the crossbow on the wall and said;
"As an engineer and craftsman, I would like to borrow a silver crossbow and learn its manufacturing techniques. I wonder if it is possible."

Randy shrugged and said, "No need to borrow it, just take whichever one you like. You are more than worthy of its courage."
