I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 338: Amnesia! Fish Tank Theory!
The answering machine said that the Heart-stealing Holy Spirit disappeared from the study at around 4 o'clock. When Collard took action, he must have summoned the Heart-stealing Holy Spirit immediately.

Therefore, the main players can first recuperate and gather their strength.

Roland cast a spell on himself, promising to wake up at four o'clock. Then he and Anna each found a room.

He didn't dare to meditate, fearing that a day would pass in the blink of an eye.

Before going to bed, Roland put on the Inquisition uniform and pseudo-holy robe, and then put on his sword.

"By the way, did you give me that suit of armor that Williams had?"

The senior had been pretending to be Roland these days, so she must have taken over the armor. But I don't know where she put it.

Roland called the magic carpet and asked it to go look for it.

Soon, the armor was found by the magic carpet and placed on the carpet in the room.

After inspecting the armor, Roland nodded deeply.

This set of armor is designed entirely for angels and can grow or shrink according to the owner's posture.

Like the pseudo-holy robe, it has extremely high stats and no negative attributes.

[Fake. Wilmick Holy Armor]

【效果：全系魔法抗性+96%、魔法伤害-8、意志力+3、异变与污染抵抗+2、生命力+20%、圣火效果+2】

By wearing the uniform, pseudo-holy robe, and pseudo-holy armor, your magic resistance will be increased to over 200%.

Adding to that the hidden magic resistance of his own Path of Faith at Dawn, his magic resistance was close to 300.

If you add a 'Blessing of Holy Protection', the magic resistance can be increased by another 50.

And there is also an effect of -14 magic damage. Without true damage and mysterious means, it is impossible to break the defense!
Willpower and resistance to mutation pollution have also increased significantly. This way, your SAN has also increased, and your resistance to pollution has also increased. You won't be using a few skills that reduce SAN only to have yourself change before the enemy does.

After thinking about it, Roland simply flew to the chapel and found a very weak puppet straw.

He put the uniform, pseudo-saint robe, and armor on the puppet.

Roland thought to himself, "Let's not try the Thunder Halberd and the Dawn Fire. Let's see if the Seagod's Trident can penetrate it."

Roland controlled the straw puppet to dance, then murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and he threw out the holy ring to summon lightning.

There was almost no guidance. After a short delay, lightning and thunder appeared in the chapel.

——The trident of Poseidon.

When the dazzling lightning faded away, the straw puppet was safe and sound, still jumping around alive and well.

Roland couldn't help but feel overjoyed, but then his expression turned ugly again.

"Looks like I need to study more about holy and mystical magic. Otherwise, if I run into a fully armed angel in the future, I'll be in big trouble!"

After thinking about it, Roland changed his plan.

He had originally planned to fully arm himself, but now that he had calculated it, he realized the defense value was a bit too high.

200% magic resistance is enough.

I don't need this set of armor. As long as I cast a blessing of holy protection on myself, the magic resistance will definitely exceed 200%.

Relatively speaking, Anna has a big shortcoming.

He went to Anna's room, gave her the armor, and then returned to the chapel.

The straw puppet in the chapel wore the Inquisition uniform and pseudo-saint robes, but Roland did not change into them.

Because to him, the puppet wearing clothes is the same as wearing his own clothes. With a butterfly replacement, he would fly over and eat the puppet, or pull the puppet over and eat it.

In this way, no matter where the puppet wearing clothes is, Roland can put on all the equipment with just one replacement.

After hanging the elegy on the waist of the straw puppet, Roland came outside the church and chanted a series of spells to the church's shadow.

That was the spell the three-headed serpents used to hold their ships.

This spell usually requires a large container. It takes a long time to put the boat into the bottle, but it is very easy to get the boat out of the bottle.

Roland is now using the bottling spell.

His bottle is the 'Snake Ring'.

However, when he performed it, he made a slight modification to make it more suitable for use against the Heracca Church.

The church itself is contained in the 'bottle' of the snake ring, except that its shadow has never been cursed.

Now that Roland had cast a spell on the church's shadow, it would be much easier to release a large object like the church from the snake ring.

In just over ten minutes, the spell Roland cast on the church's shadow ended.

Roland thought to himself, "When I first did this operation on the Storm, it took me nearly an hour. The Heracles Cathedral is many times larger than the Storm. I thought it would take another hour after my upgrade, but I didn't expect it to be done in just over ten minutes."

Moreover, he was modifying the spell while casting it.

If I had only advanced to become a truth wizard, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to reach this level.

The Faith Wizard is very close to the ancient forbidden wizard, and his own magic power and the magic he casts are extremely terrifying.

After completing this operation, Roland found his "Magic Catalog" and turned to the magic of the three-headed snake to study it.

He had previously modified the spell when performing the 'boat in a bottle' spell, and now he had modified the 'boat out of a bottle' spell as well.

After feeling that his modifications were almost complete, Roland closed his eyes, controlled the straw puppet outside, and snapped his fingers.

Then, the space of the ward became smaller and the appearance of the walls changed, becoming the style of the Heracles Church.

But the roof remained unchanged.

It looked like 'half' a weird little prayer room.

The straw puppet stood up and looked around the room, and found that there was an extra layer of wall inside the original ward wall.

The church's prayer room was very small, so its walls were directly inserted into the ward. However, because the church's prayer room had very high ceilings, Roland only transformed the lower half of the prayer room, leaving the upper half of the walls and the ceiling untouched.

The straw puppet snapped its fingers again, and then the small prayer room inside the ward disappeared.

After regaining the puppet's consciousness, Roland stroked his chin and muttered, "Perfect. However, throwing out a small area is simple, but throwing out the entire church will take some time."

This spell might be used hidden within some larger magic."

Roland began to think as he walked towards his bedroom in the church.

By the time Roland returned to the bedroom wearing his bathrobe and shorts, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Theresa and the others are still busy with the little Rolands. They might have to work for a few more hours.

"I'll take a four-hour break."

After stretching, Roland fell on the bed and began to snore.

At about four o'clock, Leona, who was secretly dancing in the corridor, saw Brother Roland walking around.

It looks like he's looking for a toilet.

However, Brother Roland doesn't seem to have the habit of going to the toilet in the church. There is no sewer here.

Although he was sleepwalking, Brother Roland seemed to still remember this incident.

After walking around the corridor, he slowly disappeared.

Leona scratched her head and didn't take it seriously.

Brother Roland has been like this lately. It's been like this since the first day he entered the hospital.

"The people in the duty room are slacking off again."

Shaking his head, Roland was speechless.

Roland did not disturb the secretly sleeping nun doctor. He took off his hospital gown and quietly changed into a white coat.

Roland's action woke up the nun doctor who was lying on the table.

The nun's face was pure, but her eyes moved with a certain allure. Every time Roland's eyes met hers, his heartbeat quickened slightly.

The nun stood up hurriedly and said, "Sorry, Director Roland, I fell asleep."

"I'm late today. I was a bit busy during the day and went to bed a little late. I'm sorry to have tired you out. You should rest for a while. I'll go to the ward rounds."

Roland patted her shoulder and went out to make his rounds.

The night shift in the inpatient department of the Holy Spirit Hospital is really difficult, especially in the second half of the night.

Many of the inpatients at the Holy Spirit Sanatorium were elderly priests. Besides mental illnesses, they also suffered from high blood pressure and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

This type of disease is more likely to occur at night, so for medical staff on duty every night, going to work is like going to the battlefield.

People often have to wait until three or four o'clock before they can finally settle down.

What if someone suddenly becomes critically ill? Oh my god.

Roland had encountered this several times during his one month internship at the hospital. Thinking back on it now, his hands trembled.

It's also thanks to Mr. Collard's superb medical skills and his presence every night. Otherwise, as a novice, I really wouldn't be able to handle it.

Even now, Roland still finds it hard to be indifferent to life and death. Killing and saving are different.

The head nurse who was on duty saw Roland and greeted him in a low voice.

Roland asked, "How many people are on duty today?"

The head nurse whispered, "Including you, six."

Roland nodded and said, "Brianna asked for leave again?"

The head nurse shook her head and said, "No, she's here. She's in the duty room. Didn't you see her when you were changing clothes just now?"

Roland was slightly stunned, then suddenly remembered.

The nun doctor who had just woken me up was Brianna.

I thought she was my senior. Why would I think that?

Patting his forehead, Roland shook off these messy thoughts. Work was important, and these trivial matters could be dealt with during the day.

He asked, "Who's not here?"

The head nun said, "Teacher Collard didn't come. He's just like you. Hissing today."

The head nurse seemed to suddenly remember something, then patted her forehead, shaking off these messy thoughts.

Work is important, let’s talk about these trivial matters during the day.

Roland sighed, "Okay, my head nurse. Let Brianna and Collard take a break. The two of us will do our last shift."

The head nun was slightly taken aback and said, "Last shift?"

Roland sighed, "Yeah, that last shift. Um, I can't remember it. But I remember it was affected by something very important. So, we can't let Mr. Collard treat everyone anymore."

The head nurse was silent for a long time, then said, "If we can't cure the people here, how are we supposed to cure the people over there?"

Roland shook his head and said, "I don't know." The head nurse asked, "Roland, if we lose Teacher Collard, will our world be saved?"

Roland was silent for a long time, and seemed to be in a heavy mood.

After a moment, he seemed to have figured something out, and his gaze gradually became firm.

Roland looked at the head nurse in front of him and said seriously, "Florence, if Teacher Collard leaves today, I will stay. I will take you on this journey.

If I leave, he stays. I hope he's right."

Florence pursed her lips and said, "Roland, I know that your two philosophies have always been in conflict. No matter what, no matter what the future holds for Holy Spirit Hospital, I will stay here with you all."

The two guys patted each other on the shoulders like comrades, and then Roland went to the bathroom.

After using the restroom, Roland saw Brianna had gotten up as well. She was making rounds with several nurses and caregivers.

Roland joined the team.

They entered the rooms one by one. Before they reached a room, they could hear the sounds of struggling and wailing from inside the ward.

——"Who are you? Wait, are you Brianna? What's going on? Why are you wearing a doctor's uniform to make rounds?"

——"It's you again! You're the one calling yourself Director Roland! I've never seen you before. You're not a doctor here, nor are you a patient here! Get out! Get out! I'm not sick, and I don't need medicine!"

——"Complain! I want to complain. Another patient is pretending to be a doctor!"

——"I don't want to take medicine, I don't want to take medicine!"

After a busy day, Roland, Brianna and Florence gathered together, sweating profusely.

Brianna said with a strange look on his face: "What's going on today? Why are so many patients going crazy?"

Florence sighed and said, "It's strange, it's like they suddenly don't recognize us. Everyone knows me, but the patients I examine say they don't know you. I take you with me on my ward rounds every day."

Roland pondered for a moment and said, "Is there a possibility? We used to be many, many people. So when we were on duty before, everyone treated us as others.

Now, the pool may only have 1% of its water left. The image of doctors and nurses in us is gone. So when people see us, they can't recognize us.

Florence had always been the head nurse here, and her soul-stealing spirit still had a shadow of her. So when everyone saw her, they still thought she was the head nurse.

The other people are patients, so when everyone sees you, they say that patients are pretending to be medical staff.

As for me, I have always been alone. An independent soul-stealing spirit.

Although my appearance has always been the same, I always have the buff of the Orb of the God of Trickster during the day, so everyone thinks that the daytime me and the nighttime me are two different people.

After some analysis, Roland realized that everyone was looking at him with extremely strange eyes.

Brianna said, "Director Roland, what are you talking about? Are you okay?"

Roland couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Yeah, what did I just say?
Roland suddenly felt something was wrong.

But I can't tell what's wrong.

Just then, he heard someone speaking in his heart.

"Roland, where are you? The Heartstealer Spirit has disappeared. Wait, why are you there? Who are you with? Hang on, we're coming soon!"
"Who? Who's talking?"

Roland looked at his hand in confusion, but did not see his ring.

Where is my ring?
Didn't I use the 'eating butterfly' method to teleport into the body of the sick puppet outside today?

Then how did I disappear from the snake ring?
Oh, that’s right, the Heart-stealing Holy Spirit.

I am the seventh Heart-stealing Holy Spirit.

Wait, I'm the Heart-stealing Holy Spirit?
Suddenly, Roland slowly regained consciousness.

He took advantage of the moment of lucidity, closed his eyes, and muttered, "You are a butterfly, he is a butterfly, we are all butterflies."

As Roland muttered, his clothes suddenly turned into hospital gowns, and a ring appeared in his hand.

He opened his mouth and spit out a small scarecrow puppet.

Roland put the scarecrow puppet into the ring.

At this moment, everyone heard a man's voice coming from a distance: "As expected of you, Roland. My good student."

A middle-aged man came towards them in the corridor. It was Collard.

However, he was wearing a Twilight wizard robe that was covered in dust.

Something was floating around Collard, a non-Euclidean abstract object that looked like a projection of a higher-dimensional object in this plane.

The other part of it should be in another plane.

Roland said, "Is this the wishing machine? It's not a projection of a wishing machine. Or rather, a door opened by a wishing machine."

After a pause, Roland looked at Collard and said, "How do you still have the power to make wishes? Oh, I see. You didn't leave at all. Was the Heart-Seizing Spirit sitting at the table at that time?

No, it's you.

You are the Heart-stealing Holy Spirit, the Heart-stealing Holy Spirit is you.

You had already merged with one of the Heart-stealing Spirits. Before I came here, you had already merged with one of the Heart-stealing Spirits.

You are mad, Collard."

Collard looked at Roland and nodded deeply. He said, "How did you do that? What kind of magic is this?"

Roland knew what he was referring to—he had just been awakened by the voice of his senior sister and briefly regained consciousness, so he ate the Heart-Stealing Holy Spirit.

This Heart-stealing Holy Spirit no longer exists.

There was only Roland left.

Collard was very surprised when he found that the Heart-stealing Holy Spirit suddenly turned into Roland.

Roland naturally wouldn't tell his enemies about his magic.

He did not answer but asked, "Collard, you were able to retain your integrity after merging with the Heart-stealing Holy Spirit, and you haven't devoured those hundreds of thousands of people. This shows that you haven't entered the door of insanity, but have entered the door of faith.

So, since you have already entered the second door of faith and reason, why do you still force everyone to go through the third door of insanity?
If you walk through this door, it will swallow everyone. Why? Why do you do this?
Just to cure everyone?
Make everyone become you?"

Collard looked at Roland and nodded deeply, his eyes showing a very gratified look - his good student had amazing understanding. He could see the whole picture even through a small part of the leopard!
But he shook his head again - his students could not understand his ideas after all.

Collard said, "Roland, you don't understand. I'm saving you.

I can't let you follow the old path of our world.

To help you, to correct this world that still has a cure, I am willing to pay any price!"

As he spoke, Collard looked into the distance. His eyes saw the wizards who were destroying the barrier and trying to break into the inpatient department.

He stretched out his hand towards the non-Euclidean geometric abstract body and tapped it. Then, the abstract aggregate suddenly shook.

"Haven't you always wanted to see that world? We're going to lobotomize you right there."

As he spoke, the non-Euclidean geometric abstract body suddenly grew larger, enveloping Collard, Roland, and many mind-stealing holy spirits at the speed of light.

In the next instant, Roland felt the surrounding scene suddenly go dark. He felt as if he had fallen into a black hole.

Slowly, light appeared ahead of me, and this tiny bit of light grew rapidly.

Then, Roland seemed to have emerged from a void passage and came to a deserted and dilapidated building.

Roland's eyes moved slightly.

This is actually the great chapel of the Wilmik Monastery.

But this place seems to have been deserted for many years.

The former grandeur is gone, and everything is in ruins.

The broken glass windows were covered with thick mold. There was a huge red star in the sky, which almost covered 3/4 of the sky.
Under the gravitational pull of the giant star, the earth was cracked and shattered, with many pieces of rubble floating in the air.

Judging from the distance between this planet and the earth, this world should have been torn apart and fallen into the planet long ago.

At least the air should have been sucked out.

Yet, in this plane, there seemed to be a strange, sticky substance. It flooded the entire world like a tide, allowing the sky (atmosphere) and the earth to maintain a certain degree of integrity.

But this tide is not a keeper.

It is devouring the world and assimilating the world.

The moon and the mold on the ground are not guardians either. They are trying to destroy this world. Destroy this world before the slimy substance eats it.

That strange, sticky substance was everywhere, rippling like the sea. Whenever a ripple appeared, it would reflect the starlight in seven colors.

Suddenly, Roland remembered a mythological history in the old scriptures.

——In a certain year and month, there was a red moon (a celestial sign), a black tide (a disaster), the sacred tree turned into the holy Garden of Eden (a miracle), and the end of a certain plane came to an end.

This scene seems to be happening in this world.

The huge red moon and the mold everywhere are destroying this thing at the expense of this world.

But this thing seems to be impossible to destroy, and the scenes of "the end of the world" have been played out on countless planes.

Suddenly, as if the tide was receding, the apocalyptic scene before my eyes vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The tide disappeared, the crimson moon disappeared, and the mold disappeared.
Roland muttered, "So this is the Black Tide?"

Collard said, "The tides are rising more frequently, and the ebbs are coming later and later. This plane is almost over. Do you see it, Roland? You should be able to see it more clearly than us, right?"

Collard seemed to be unable to see the previous scene at all. He could only vaguely feel the changes when the tide rose and fell.

Roland said, "I see. Why has this place become like this?"

Collard said: "Witches believe that this is a phenomenon caused by the leakage of 'sea water' from the lower world. It is like two fish tanks stacked on top of each other.

The fish above are freshwater fish, and the fish below are saltwater fish.

The water above is finite, while the salt water below is infinite.

There was originally a layer of skin between the two fish tanks, but someone broke it, causing seawater to flow back into the freshwater.

As the salt content increases, saltwater fish can gradually swim in freshwater fish tanks, while freshwater fish can no longer survive.

The church believed that the source of all this trouble came from the Son of God at the end of the world.

He was a wizard of the mystical side, a wizard whose talent far surpassed Alexandra's.

In just a few years, he ignited the divine fire, and in just over a decade, he grew to a level beyond the limits of this world.

But he was unwilling to ascend, so the sky was pierced, leading to the arrival of the mad evil god.

They are both right because that person broke the skin.”

Roland's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the name of that Son of Doom?"
