The Secret Code of Monsters.

Chapter 303 Ch.302 Teeth and Shadows

"I know a lot of secrets."

"Your doubts are as simple to me as why doors have locks - but you have to help me out a bit, isn't it fair?"

The woman who was pierced by several metal rods seemed to have long been accustomed to this endless pain, and her face remained calm:
"I'm dying."

"Soon, I'll be overwhelmed by the pain and go crazy like all the women you've seen along the way—you saw that, didn't you?"

She looked at Roland and spoke sincerely:
"As you said, I am indeed an "Assassin", and I believe in the Seventh Crown God: the Hand of Dissension, or the Shadow Net..."

"I hope that after death my soul can go to the god I believe in, to the kingdom he created, and start an endless war for him..."

"If you give me this possibility, I will answer all your questions."

"Deal?"

After she finished speaking, she did not urge anyone, but waited quietly for the person in front of her to think.

Tens of seconds later.

"How can I help you?" Roland asked.

Helen Menzi smiled.

She struggled violently, flesh rubbing against metal, more blood flowing out - something was moving from her stomach, upwards.

She wailed in agony, her head hanging down, her jaw growing larger as if it had been dislocated:
Vomit.

The thick yellow liquid mixed with the short nails and caltrops clanged together.

Like a strong, fishy waterfall, a variety of things that shouldn't be in her stomach came out of her mouth.

This long torture passed in the blink of an eye, and in the end, only clean blood was left.

She vomited a few more times, gathering her breath -

He spat out blood at Roland!

pat.

A small fang that didn't look like a human fell in front of Roland's feet.

"Helen Qiu."

Roland:?
Helen Menzi was breathing heavily, and long threads of flesh-pink saliva flowed down her chin.

"This strange object records all my knowledge, including the 'Road'."

She became even more hoarse, as if she would lose her voice at any moment.

"Use it to complete a ritual."

Helen Menzi told Roland that she needed to complete a ritual - using this magical object she had held for many years - so that her soul could go to the kingdom of the gods after her death.

Disputes.

Use this wonder to create a conflict involving at least five ritualists.

"It's very simple, Vansittart. As long as you change your identity and spread the 'effect' of this strange object, no one can resist knowledge and power, right?"

Roland looked down at the teeth at his feet.

"You don't seem to be at all concerned about me taking it for myself."

"Because I won't tell you the conditions for opening it." Helen Menzi grinned, "And no one will ever know. You just have to make it an open secret, or give it to your enemy... Soon, they will fight and compete for this rare item. The ritual is completed, and my soul will reach where it should go..."

"Deal?"

she asked again.

sound…

no problem.

A strange object that cannot be opened and can also trap and kill one's enemies, anyone would be happy to help -

Even if you suspect Helen Menzi of having any conspiracy, you can throw this rare object into the sea or lock it in a golden box and bury it in the ground and abandon it completely.

Ten years, a hundred years.

You can even invent an "effect" and sell it to someone...

In short, I will never come to the monastery again. What's the point of promising her that?
It is up to you to decide what to do after you leave, right?

By doing this, her conspiracy succeeded.

Title: Tooth Fairy's Treasure

"Type": Strange Item (Exotic)
「Description」: 'Where are the teeth under the pillow? '

'I'll get down from cupboards, cracks in walls, and creaky floorboards...'

'I'll stand on my tiptoes...'

'Or flapping its wings...'

'When you are asleep.' 'I will first use my treasure to turn off the lights, and then I will crawl into your bed, next to your face, next to your pillow...'

'Your breath...'

"Searching and searching..."

'There are no teeth under the pillow! ! '

'I will eat all your teeth!! Your eyeballs!! Your tongue!! And rip out your throat!!'

For the cost of one tooth, the bearer can create a dark mist with a radius of ten feet that lasts for twenty-five minutes.

When a non-owner actively touches the item, the "owner" is transferred.

Anyone who holds this item for the first time will activate its power uncontrollably (once).

Note: From today on, forget the word 'bite'.

……

"A clever spider spins his web, but always waits at the other end."

I have to say, Helen Menzi is really cunning.

She guided Roland to think about the power of the object itself.

She let the kind-hearted ponder how to seal this rare object forever, the greedy ones consider how to keep the knowledge within it for themselves, and the ones who didn't care about it and only wanted to get the answer - perhaps throwing it into the sea would be a better option?

No matter who touches this magical object, it is equivalent to transferring the "holder".

It creates darkness.

And Helen Menzi is the "Assassin"...

The most well-known feature of this path is the mastery of shadows.

One link after another.

In fact, this rare object is not very powerful and the price is not small, but it is different in Helen Menzi's hands.

The conspiracy began as soon as he entered the door.

"Deal, ma'am."

Helen Menzi and Roland, two conspirators who did not wish the best for each other, smiled at each other.

"Let me tell you, son. You want to know about religion, or rather--not quite the legal religion, right?"

Most cults are built around the Ten Crowned God.

If Roland wanted to establish a cult centered on the teachings of the Crown God, he shouldn't have asked Cinder Kratov to come here to find her.

Most of the small groups that are not Crown God are not very legal.

"Perhaps you could answer a question for me, Miss Vansittart," Helen Menzie whispered. "What is a 'sect'?"

Roland spoke subconsciously: "Building around the "road"..."

"No, of course not." The woman obviously understood the meaning behind the line. "I won't waste time on standard answers that most apprentices know, Miss Vansittart. Let me tell you."

“The denomination is a refuge.”

"A refuge beneath the ruins, only for the soul."

She didn't care whether Roland understood or not, she just kept talking.

——What is the fundamental difference between a sect and a secret society?
simply put:
'In the name of faith' and 'In my name'.

The former is more powerful than the latter: the same beliefs can bring people together and connect them more closely.

And for Helen Menzi, there are so many things that can be done in the name of faith.

It is not what I want, but it is the doctrine and our belief.

Let your own desires become the desires of everyone, thereby driving devout believers to jump off the cliff and fill the greedy gap in your heart.

The leader only needs to step on the land filled with their corpses and slowly move in the direction he wants to go.

—In her opinion, this is how the sect is used.

"Holy Cross does that, too, kid."

Seeing that Roland remained silent, she thought he was another cross-headed man, and she read out the words from the Book of Eden in a sarcastic tone: "He said: Let the child come to me."

"Vansitate, you wanting a boy and the Father of All wanting a boy are two completely different things..."

"Understand?"

"Are those boys really serving the All-Father? Or are they serving..."

Roland shook his head: "That has nothing to do with me, ma'am."

He doesn't care what the church does, he just doesn't understand why there must be a "God".

"That's right. Why do we have to have a 'God'?" Helen Menzi asked in return: "Is 'God' important? Vansittart, what's important is: doctrine, or what do you want the believers to believe in."
