Witch, don't be so lazy

Forty-four fallen monsters, led by the Blood Wolf, were discovered trying to escape. They have been recaptured and implanted with the Holy Wedge. New death zones and prompts have been added, personnel have been allocated appropriately, and the gospel has been spread.

……

——v175.9.04——

It has been confirmed that the farther away from the Gospel, the weaker the effect of the persuasion. Fifteen monsters that fled by instinct quickly degenerated after leaving Hongyan Town, regained their memories, and are currently wandering in front of the Death II Neighbor (Jiuqi彡death border.

……

——v175.12.27——

The wandering monsters started fighting due to hunger, and now only three are alive. The Blood Wolf continues to wander, and the Wind Snake and the Eight-eyed Spider tried to approach Hongyan Town. They have now been reformed. New character settings have been added, including travelers, merchants, demon hunters, and gold diggers. Loading is complete, and the gospel has been spread.

……

——v176.3.13——

The Blood Origin Demon Wolf devoured a total of twenty-six preys, and its strength has been observed to increase. It has now returned to the town due to hunger, and its soul chain reaction is normal. It has been reformed again. The devil plan is progressing steadily, and the gospel has been spread.

……

——v179.7.23——

The experiment in Chapter 136 was successful. The mental state of the Flame Horse was stable and his faith was identified as a fanatic. He has now been arranged to serve as a pastor in the church. Personnel have been reasonably allocated and the gospel has been spread.

……

——v181.5.08——

Thirty-six monsters have escaped from the town, nine of which have escaped many times. This is the nineteenth time that the Blood Wolf has escaped from the town. We are considering adding family lines, love lines, and career lines for it. The personnel have been reasonably allocated and the gospel has been spread.

……

——v184.4.01——

There are a total of 5,344 monsters in Hongyan Town. It is currently operating smoothly and the church staff has increased to 66. Taking all factors into consideration, we are trying to reduce the spread of the gospel and test memory inertia.

……

——v199.8.13——

There are currently 16,934 monsters in Hongyan Town. Everything is running smoothly, the gospel test has been completed, and the Saint Plan report has been submitted to the Hongyan Town branch.

……

——v215.6.16——

The devil's plan is progressing smoothly, the soul chain is reacting normally, and the monsters that cannot fully adapt to the persuasion have left the town and formed their own urban area, which is now named the Lower Urban Area. The original area is named the Upper Urban Area. The personnel arrangements have been appropriately adjusted, and the gospel has been spread.

……

——v223.5.23——

A high spiritual reaction has been detected and the comparison is complete. The essence is highly identical to the original form of the "Pied Dancer", low energy level, observed at around the first order, now named "Demon Prototype", and the form is stable.

……

——v230.1.01——

There are currently 10,234 monsters in Hongyan Town. The town is running well, and the "demon prototype" is slowly improving. It is expected to reach the second level within ten years. The form is stable, the gospel influence is good, and there is no risk of getting out of control.

The focus is now on the Devourer of Demon Prototype, Blood Wolf, Eight-eyed Spider, Medusa Cub, Sand Worm No. 59, Flame Horse No. 134, Wind Serpent No. 23, Ukebak No. 9, Green Leaf Longlegs No. 66 (crossed out), and Tree Deer Man No. 193.

Resource quotas have been calculated and invested, and the gospel is only operating at the minimum level.

The Saint's Plan is completed, and the Devil's Plan is about to be completed. We are waiting for the final result, waiting for the saint transformed from the devil that belongs completely to us, the more perfect "Van Helsing"!

Remark--

The first general manager of Hongyan Town Branch 053 left:

The blood-origin wolf that escaped thirty-six times in a row was chosen by me personally. It is also the contestant most likely to win the championship. Considering that it is a werewolf hostile to the vampires, I applied to name the plan "New Van Helsing", and the temple has approved it.

I have no other intention in saying this, I just want to show off in front of the younger generation.

……

——v233.6.06——

After receiving notification from the Holy Temple, we are now preparing to conduct more reasonable experiments in Hyde Town, releasing selected monsters such as Tree Deer Man, Flame Horse, Moon Sleeping Rabbit, etc., and all the members of the Hongyan Town branch have been transferred.

Everything in the town runs in an orderly manner, and finally the resource quota is completed and the gospel is adjusted.

Start evacuating in advance.

Remark--

053, the first general manager of the Hongyan Town branch, left a comment: "Fuck you! Some bastard actually took advantage of me and stole the Hyde Town general manager position, leaving me with only a supervisor! Having a bishop uncle is so great, huh? I'll be in the cathedral sooner or later! For those who come back to collect, remember, I'll always be the one with the most credit! 053!"

……

This is the final record.

Two pairs of boots stepped onto the last step together. At a glance, there were only a dozen empty tables.

Anke and Celine Weier looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

Things are in trouble.

Chapter 63 Method

After discovering that all the residents of Hongyan Town were monsters, Anke had imagined the truth countless times in his mind.

Perhaps the devil, in order to descend into the world, used monsters to stage such a grand show, deceiving and devouring innocent merchants and travelers in preparation for his final birth.

At the same time, I also thought that the church had set up a trap in Hongyan Town in order to brainwash the monsters into devout believers, but some mistakes occurred in the middle, and before the believers were completely brainwashed, a terrifying demon appeared instead.

But she had never imagined that although brainwashing the monster was part of the church's plan, even the appearance of the devil's incarnation was part of their calculations.

By reading the logs written in those golden inscription books, one can roughly piece together the full picture of the incident.

First, the church implanted false memories into the monsters through special means, the so-called spreading of the gospel, and then let them live in Hongyan Town according to the arranged identities.

This is mainly to improve and adjust the brainwashing technology.

Although mental magic has appeared a long time ago and the art of controlling the mind has certainly been developed by someone, the church feels that it is not enough. They need new means that are larger in scale, have lower losses, better effects, and are more concealed.

They named it the Saints Project.

The core idea is to use the inertia of life and memory to maintain mind control, brainwashing first, shaping a reasonable social environment later, and then trying to tame the naturally aggressive tiger into a docile rabbit.

The results of the experiment are also very significant.

According to the records in the log, even if the gospel was interrupted, except for some stubborn monsters that broke free from control, most of them were able to live honestly in the town, and those monsters that were transformed into priests after being processed did not give up their faith.

But all of the above can only be regarded as preliminary preparations. What the church really wants is to perfect Evanga's "Soul Chain" experiment and obtain a fully controllable "Pied Devil".

Of course, in the words of the person in charge, it is a brand new and more perfect "Van Helsing".

Anke had previously heard from Hans about the Magic Flute incident orchestrated by "Evening Star" Evenga. Although he had successfully created the legendary "Pied Dancer", the problem was that the other party was completely out of control.

Because of past experiences, the church's operations have been optimized. The selected candidates have been influenced by the gospel in advance, and the promotion level is also very cautious, with only the second level selected.

Everything went very smoothly.

Previously, in the vision of Anke and Celine Weier, the black fog emitting disaster and ominousness was actually the embodiment of the "Soul Chain".

As for the black vortex, the so-called prototype of the devil and the incarnation of the devil, its essence is a mixture of high spirituality and high magic power, like a trophy and the fruit of victory.

Just let all the monsters in the town engage in an indiscriminate melee, like raising poisonous insects, and devour each other, and the weak will become food for the strong, just like what An Ke saw when she first entered the spiritual world.

The black vortex will actively attach itself to the monster that causes the most killing and devouring. Its gigantic growth is a sign of promotion. As long as it can become the final winner, it will naturally break through the bottleneck and complete the transformation.

Of course, this stuff is poisoned.

Because it contains the souls of all the monsters in the town, swallowing it will certainly gain power, but at the same time it will also swallow up the memories shaped by gospel and inertia.

This is also the reason why the big fight has not started yet.

Because the experimenter needs to use enough time and enough gospel to do his best to increase the probability that the devil will not get out of control.

The countdown is now on.

When the light of dawn in Hongyan Town becomes too weak to be maintained, and when the black fog gradually spreads in all directions, the destined moment will finally arrive.

……

Insight into the truth of the incident.

Completed the additional task - [Meticulous as a Hair].

Although a prompt from the spirit world popped up in front of him, Anke looked bitter.

Because things are irreversible.

The plan had already started counting down many years ago, and there was no abort button at all.

No matter what, the black fog will spread, no matter what, the light of dawn will be exhausted, no matter what, those monsters that have been inspired by cruelty and bloodiness will go berserk.

But although it is unavoidable, we can actually push the time back a little bit, at least we could do it once.

"I've let you screw me over so badly."

Anke couldn't help but stare at Celine Wei'er and sigh.

"I should have thought of this long ago. How could the Spirit World Patrol just let people cooperate so easily? Even if there's no conflict on the surface, there are traps hidden in the dark."

Just as Encore was relaxed and carefree when he was clearing out the monsters two days ago, he is now very distressed.

"I chased the devil's incarnation all the way, discovered the truth about the black fog and the townspeople, then began to question the church, defeated the guarding priest, and finally entered the bell tower. I understood everything and was able to touch the Gospel."

"This is your route, not mine!"

"Your necessary mission is to destroy the devil's incarnation, not to kill the devil's incarnation yourself. You just need to wait for the big fight to start!"

As long as the melee begins and the ritual is successfully performed, the devil's incarnation will naturally disappear because it has transformed into food to feed the real devil.

Therefore, after successfully killing the old priest and climbing up the bell tower, Celine Weier's necessary task was almost completed, and she only needed to wait for a while.

Follow this route.

Celine Weier was able to complete the necessary tasks while also completing [The Gospel of Counterfeiting] and [Meticulous as a Hair].

"I shouldn't have followed you! Killing those targeted monsters will only accelerate the spread of the black fog. And most importantly, the old priest must not die so soon! Once he dies, there will be no one to maintain the barrier and the light of dawn, and the countdown will immediately accelerate!"

An Ke was so upset that her little mouth was about to turn into a teapot.

"My path should be to be a normal witcher, killing ordinary monsters bit by bit, improving my favorability with the church, and finally noticing something unusual. Then I'll work with the old priest. I'll give him the monster remains to replenish his magic power, allowing him to continuously maintain the barrier, and he'll tell me the truth!"

"Even if he couldn't hold on in the end, and a huge fight would break out in Hongyan Town, I would have survived for five days by then and left happily!"

If Celine Weier had not appeared, Encore, who could not see the black fog, would have been very likely to follow this route.

In the end, the necessary tasks can still be completed. The results of [Witcher's Professional Ethics] should be acceptable, and [Meticulous as a Hair] can naturally be achieved.

"But now it's over! You can just walk away, but I still have two full days to stay!"

"You'll be stuck in hell, facing thousands of bloodthirsty monsters, and among them might even be giant monsters that have successfully advanced to the second level!"

"I was supposed to be on vacation in the spirit world, but now I'm going through a tribulation!"

If resentment could be turned into substance, An Ke felt that there should be a terrifying Prajna mask behind him.

"...I'm sorry, I got you into trouble."

She could clearly slaughter monsters expressionlessly amidst the blood, but now shame and uneasiness appeared on Celine Weier's delicate face.

"I didn't know it would turn out like this."

"..."

Anke puffed out his cheeks like a little pufferfish, but quickly deflated.

"I don't blame you. Even if we didn't know each other, if you just hunted those monsters normally, it would still speed up the countdown in the end, and I guess the old priest would still die early."

"I can only blame my bad luck. We all happened to be involved in the same parade incident... Ah! I'm so angry! The damn spirit world actually set traps in the mission!"

As An Ke was talking, she got angry again.

But she immediately took two deep breaths and regained her composure.

The more critical the moment, the more she had to stay calm. Getting anxious all the time would only waste her energy. She had to find a way to get through the remaining two days safely.

"Forget it, it's done."

An Ke pursed her lips and first looked at the huge angel statue on the bell tower of the Liujiu Wuling Master Mingwuyan.

"This thing is for spreading the gospel. Looking at the golden light on it, at the current rate of dissipation, it doesn't seem like it will last more than a few hours. Can we add some fuel to it? It might be better to empty the church's warehouse and throw everything in there. Although the black fog has almost spread, the later it is, the better..."
