#175 - Chapter 175 The Seven Virtues in the Sundial

They were told it was to help them master more vengeful ghosts and supernatural powers.

“Hahaha! How can you understand the wonders of Lord Minister!”

Yu Xiaogang laughed triumphantly from the side, even though he couldn't understand it either.

But that didn't stop him from bragging.

“I think the most terrifying things in this supernatural place are probably the vengeful ghost on this crucifix and the vengeful ghosts in the seven bronze coffins.”

“Now that the Minister has dealt with them, it should be safe here, right?”

Yu Xiaogang continued.

The reason he came to this conclusion was that the person on the inverted crucifix was clearly not a Saint.

That was a former NC officer, an outsider, not someone truly chosen.

Otherwise, that officer could have directly commanded the vengeful ghost wielders of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Lin Yu voiced his speculation.

The Mourning Crow and the others felt it made a lot of sense after hearing it.

A Saint could not possibly be an NC officer.

So, there must still be something undiscovered!

The group searched again for a while.

Lin Yu, however, frowned as he looked at the altar, feeling that the patterns on it looked familiar.

Suddenly, a ray of sunlight pierced through the fountain in the monastery, shining from the middle of the Virgin Mary statue onto the altar below the stone steps.

Immediately afterward, the altar began to tremble, lifting everyone from the underground to the surface!

The inverted crucifix in the center began to rotate slowly.

If viewed from the sky, it would be discovered that the patterns carved on the altar actually corresponded to the time, just like an alarm clock!

The inverted crucifix in the middle had become something like a pointer.

This altar was actually a giant sundial!

“What's going on!”

“Why is the altar ascending to the sky?”

“No, there's a big problem with this altar!”

The Mourning Crow and the others belatedly realized this and quickly stepped down from the altar.

The Scarlet Countess's mirror showed a bird's-eye view of the altar, and her expression changed immediately.

“This seems to be a sundial!”

“It's time, the time has come, the change is about to begin!”

Lin Yu looked up and saw the sun in the sky shining directly on the sundial, seemingly causing some change!

The pointer on the sundial was still rotating, and as it landed on the number seven, a wave of supernatural energy spread out, landing on Lin Yu and the others.

This supernatural power didn't cause any harm to Lin Yu. He was also curious about what would happen, so he didn't resist.

The next moment, a sundial tattoo appeared on the back of his left hand, and the number on the sundial also pointed to seven.

“What does this mean? The number seven, some kind of time, but what does it represent?”

Yu Xiaogang also looked at the sundial tattoo that appeared on his hand.

Everyone present was a captain-level ghost controller, and if they wanted to resist, they could completely block this supernatural power.

However, out of curiosity, none of them deliberately resisted.

“I have an idea, could this number seven represent the seven virtues, corresponding to the Seven Deadly Sins!”

The Silent Nun wrote on the side.

She couldn't speak, so she could only express herself in this way.

“That's possible!”

The Scarlet Countess nodded in agreement.

The Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Virtues are the contrast between human original sin and virtues in Catholicism.

The Seven Deadly Sins are pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust.

The Seven Virtues are loyalty, hope, generosity, justice, fortitude, temperance, and thrift.

The seven bronze coffins before contained the supernatural power of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Now that the sundial has appeared, showing the number seven, it is very likely that it represents the Seven Virtues.

“I can understand that the Seven Deadly Sins have vengeful ghost supernatural powers.”

“But can the Seven Virtues also have vengeful ghost supernatural powers?”

“Can vengeful ghosts still be good, kind, and beautiful?”

Lin Yu didn't understand and was greatly shocked.

Moreover, if there really were vengeful ghosts of the Seven Virtues, what would be the killing rule?

The good, the kind, and the beautiful die?

But when it comes to the supernatural, it's hard to say!

After all, the headquarters also has a captain, Ding Zhen, this reincarnated spirit child, who also possesses the supernatural power of a vengeful ghost, but can still act like a living Buddha.

Just as everyone was discussing, the sundial turned another circle.

At the same time, the monastery also underwent changes.

In the courtyard, it began to snow out of nowhere. The snow was bone-chillingly cold, and even with the physical qualities of ghost controllers, they felt extreme cold.

At the same time, bonfires were lit in the monastery, and the firelight shone in all directions, appearing very warm.

It was this change that made everyone belatedly realize that those cultivator ghost slaves seemed to have disappeared.

“It seems that we are supposed to enter the monastery!”

Lin Yu looked at a certain room in the monastery, where there had already been great changes.

At this moment, he felt like he was playing in a haunted house, and he walked in with great interest.

After entering, he found that this was a dining room.

The windows of the room were engraved with patterns.

It was a scale with grapes and skulls on either side, and the inscription below read, “Hunger and thirst are the source of all sins.”

Inside the dining room, there was a long table.

At this moment, the long table was already filled with a feast.

The charred aroma of roast suckling pig and the sweetness of lychees mixed in the air.

Thin slices of ham, turkey that even dogs wouldn't eat.

And several neatly stacked rotten apples.

The wax oil flowing from the silver candlesticks had solidified on the linen tablecloth into scab-like marks.

Five chairs were placed next to the dining table, corresponding to Lin Yu and the other five people.

“Is this a Hongmen Banquet? These foods must be poisonous!”

Yu Xiaogang looked at the table full of Western food. These things looked quite tempting.

However, how long has it been dilapidated here?

How could there be such a rich food.

“Looks pretty sumptuous, a bit like the Last Supper!”

The Mourning Crow joked.

“Hopefully, it's not our last supper.”

The Scarlet Countess took the lead in sitting down, then picked up the red wine and poured herself a glass, not caring about this strange banquet at all.

However, in that glass of red wine, there seemed to be a vicious human face, which looked very scary.

Yu Xiaogang was holding a fork, ready to insert it into the roast chicken in front of him, but suddenly the roast chicken on the plate opened three pairs of compound eyes, and the crispy chicken skin cracked, revealing dense layers of human teeth.

The Mourning Crow looked at a bowl of cream of mushroom soup in front of him and threw out a crow to test it. As a result, the crow took a light sip of the soup, and its feathers quickly became moldy and rotten, turning into a pool of stinky, viscous liquid.

The Silent Nun suddenly pierced the abdomen of the roast suckling pig with a fork, and the fork tip picked out half a human finger bone, then cut open the pig's abdomen, which was full of rotten human internal organs.

The roast goose in front of Lin Yu turned into swollen corpses, and the cake was inlaid with a dry heart.

All of this was so terrifying, impacting the sanity of ordinary people.

Fortunately, everyone was a ghost controller, so they didn't collapse.

Behind the seemingly delicious food, there were all kinds of abnormalities, and even human bodies pieced together.

The only food that seemed to have no problem was those few rotten apples.
