her hands were clenched into fists at her chest, as if praying for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant nun’s lower body was like the root system of an old tree, with dense, tangled roots piercing into the main house, having evidently merged into one with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to release his inspiration to perceive it, as Jianxing had suggested, he could feel that the giant nun in the photograph was an empty shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the giant nun’s body, there were seven empty slots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They corresponded exactly to the Seven Deadly Sins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Count Jermaine’s arrangements for the Inner World were all for the sake of the giant nun above the main house; it was unknown what would happen when she was filled with the various deadly sins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the giant nun was merely an empty shell, her oppressive presence remained immense; just by looking for a few moments, Wu Chang had the illusion that she had sensed his gaze through the photograph and was looking back at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shifted his gaze away from the giant nun, and the feeling of being tracked along his line of sight vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phew, it’s a good thing Jianxing’s inspiration isn’t high enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just seeing the two gargoyle statues at the entrance was enough for an inspiration check to break through his willpower defense; if he had seen the nun, even if his consciousness didn’t collapse on the spot, he would be drooling for the rest of his life even if he were cured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his gaze to the two players, preparing to watch something lighthearted to ease his mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two players who had been pressed into meat patties and buried at the base of the gargoyles were the teammates of the former postman and the reporter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their time of death must have been later than the reporter’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their lingering resentment, Wu Chang saw the chaos of the Inner World; they were much luckier than the reporter, as they hadn’t been separated from the main group in the Inner World and had entered the Count’s manor together with the other three companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What awaited them here was the final Inner World location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Mo Leina had said, on Brifer Island, approaching Count Jermaine’s manor without authorization was a capital crime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrival of the few players directly caused the Divine Envoy to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Envoy could summon gargoyles in a continuous stream, 7 to 10 at a time per wave; the gargoyles’ combat power surpassed that of the fish-men at the docks, putting significant pressure on the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the gargoyles, the Divine Envoy could also summon rain-like falling rocks; the rocks had immense power and were relentless, and every time they were struck, the players’ willpower would drop, making them want to give up resisting from the bottom of their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid the falling rocks, one had to enter the main house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But waiting for them inside the main house was the Faceless Nun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the players saw the nun in the lingering resentment, she was not as huge as she was now; she was only three or four meters tall and still possessed human legs, barely qualifying as an oversized Lady Dimitrescu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her method of controlling the main house did not involve using tentacles like tree roots to merge with it, but rather just moving her fingers to make the room layout change at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the nun’s control, the players felt as if they had entered an endless maze; not only was it difficult to escape, but if they were the least bit careless while passing through different rooms, the last player would be locked inside a room, falling into a state of being alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time they entered a different room, they risked becoming isolated under the nun’s attack, yet they could not stay in any one room for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they stayed in a room for too long, a group of fully armed townsfolk would appear behind the door, waving weapons with blood-red eyes, their combat power even greater than that of the gargoyles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surviving the terrain traps and the townsfolk was not enough; they still had to endure the nun’s whispered prayers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prayer words would erode the willpower of the players in the room, making them see terrifying hallucinations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two unlucky fellows stuffed into the base were delayed by a sudden attack just as they were about to enter a new room; by the time they crossed the threshold, they had entered a completely different room and were separated from the other players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The isolated unlucky ones would become the primary targets of the nun’s attention, falling into hallucinations amidst the endless whispering, being weakened by the Divine Envoy’s judgment, and finally dying under the chaotic blades of the townsfolk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang closed his eyes, and the scenes in the lingering resentment dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed and shook his head at the way the players had handled things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had remained clear-headed at the time and had not been affected by the chaos of the Inner World, they should not have blindly entered the main house, but rather found a way to take out the Divine Envoy outdoors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, like Jianxing, their inspiration was too low, and they hadn’t sensed the giant nun inside the main house at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jianxing thought he was regretting not seeing the gargoyles and offered guidance: \"Your level is still low, so it’s normal not to have extra points to allocate to inspiration. Even for me, it was only by relying on that camera to increase my inspiration that I could see the hidden patterns in the photo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang echoed: \"Yeah, still need to practice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for who still needed to practice, that was hard to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After parting ways with Jianxing, Wu Chang returned to the post office and took out the Brifer Island map that every player had brought with them when they first entered the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Re-examining the map, he discovered that the map had intentionally or unintentionally divided the island into seven major sections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the area near the sea was divided into four parts, the urban area into two parts, and the mountainous area into one part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The characteristics of the several regions corresponded exactly to the currently explored Inner Worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the information he had collected so far, the mountainous region—that is, the Inner World inside the Count’s manor—was Pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city center area, including the cathedral, was Envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sea areas where the fish-man docks and the Golden Flying Fish were located were Sloth and Gluttony, respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What hadn’t appeared yet were Wrath, Greed, and Lust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wrath and Greed were easy to understand, but this Lust—in what way would it appear? The Seven Deadly Sins in the Inner World all corresponded to the behavior of the townsfolk in the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Sloth represented the townsfolk’s past as pirates; compared to working hard to create wealth, plundering others was much easier—this was Sloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was Wrath or Greed, like Sloth, they were emotions that could be seen everywhere and were not restrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lust was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least on the surface, Brifer Island still pretended to believe in the state religion of the Ogre Kingdom; let alone a red-light district, even the waiters in the hotels and inns were men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In what form would Lust appear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, what is Lust?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Ling Hu was a bit dazed; although she didn’t mind discussing this topic, as the first sentence spoken in the early morning, this opening was still a bit too explosive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang seemed to realize the inappropriateness of the question and added: \"I mean, from a religious perspective, how is Lust defined?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\" Ling Hu breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a trace of regret in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought for a moment and replied: \"Following the nuns to pray these past two days, they discuss the doctrine in their spare time, and I actually did hear relevant passages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the doctrine of the Ogre state religion, Lust is defined as a deadly sin, not because it simply rejects the desire of lust itself. Lust is just a representation; what it points to behind the scenes is all desire that only values physical satisfaction while ignoring spiritual communication.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang frowned, as if he had realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words, if one only cares about using someone’s body to satisfy one’s own desires without considering the other person’s thoughts, even if this desire is not purely sexual, it still counts as committing the sin of Lust?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This question is out of scope. My understanding of the doctrine in the dungeon hasn’t reached that level, so I can’t give you a correct answer, but from my perspective, I think it counts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Hu nodded, her face slightly flushed, and asked: \"Why are you suddenly concerned about Lust?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m asking for a friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That friend of yours...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Definitely not me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang wanted to ask more questions about Wrath and Greed, but an old nun walked out of the cathedral and called for Ling Hu to prepare the props for the prayer ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What day is it today? Why is there a prayer so early?\" Wu Chang asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday was just Divine Grace Day; logically speaking, today should have been a return to normal work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Hu sped up the clearing of fallen leaves in the square and whispered to Wu Chang: \"This morning I heard the townsfolk and the nuns saying that the Count’s bronze statue at the docks had fallen. I also vaguely heard them talking about punishment and retribution. The townsfolk are very terrified by the collapse of the Count’s statue and are demanding that the Bishop hold a prayer to appease the existence that caused all this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang raised an eyebrow and asked: \"Is it that Bishop with the sewn-shut eyes you mentioned before? Will he be presiding over this prayer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Bishop will lead the prayer in the evening. Do you want to come and see?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang watched the departing Ling Hu, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Count’s bronze statue collapsed, and instead of looking for the reason, the townsfolk wanted to hold a prayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were worried about punishment and retribution—punishment and retribution from whom? A conjecture surfaced in his mind; he had already collected enough clues about what was happening on the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These clues were piled together, chaotic and disorganized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, only one protagonist was missing—a protagonist who could connect all the clues—and the truth could be completely revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Woo~ The whistle of a steamship sounded from the harbor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the ship did not dock at Brifer Harbor, but at a small harbor on the other side of the island, diagonally opposite to Brifer Harbor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New mail had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps due to complaints, this time the guys on the cargo ship were much gentler with their delivery method, not throwing the wooden crate containing the mail directly off the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they tied two swimming rings under the wooden crate and slowly lowered it to the sea surface with ropes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirming that the crate hadn’t sunk, they immediately started the cargo ship and turned to sail away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Progress, but not much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang rowed his small wooden boat and retrieved the mail crate from the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the mail crate, besides a few ordinary pieces of mail, there were also two bottles of wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recipient was Sheriff Mo Leina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh ho, looks like there’s going to be a busy night tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third update is here; the three updates add up to 8,400 words, who can still say I’m short?
