Lu Ran was a little confused.

If, as originally planned,

Go to the Inner Monastery,

Subject to qualification test,

Extremely difficult 'promotion assessment',

After becoming a [Suffering Monk], it is possible to go to the inner court.

Who knows, this benchmark qualification test is not over yet.

Lu Ran was recruited, and under the leadership of a group of suffering monks, he went to the most mysterious inner courtyard monastery in hell.

Continue along the underground area.

During this time, many seekers who were also conducting tests in the underground area could be seen, and the sound of pain lingered in their ears.

Lu Ran thought to himself, "Lord Harris should be the [Hell Monk] who manages the monastery here...... It must have been me who showed the ability to chain and caught her attention.

It would be a good time to take this opportunity to stay in the inner courtyard area for a long time and practice with the monks and disciples who are suffering from the same pain...... I should be able to make a lot of progress in a month.'"

Step out of the underground promenade.

The inner courtyard in front of Lu Ran was unexpectedly clean and quiet.

The red lawn is mowed, and the blood in the fountain is taken from the losers in the underground testing area.

The inner corridor was filled with pained monks and worshippers.

In their mouths there is some strange scripture that is constantly being muttered...... In terms of numbers alone, the number of believers is larger, and the architectural style of the inner courtyard is also skewed towards the West.

To a large extent, Lord Harris, who runs this [Hell Monastery], is biased towards Westerners, specializing in the spiritual level of painful cultivation.

In addition, Lu Ran also noticed a detail.

The proprietress in the city had never been to the inner courtyard before, so she didn't know much about the detailed classification of the interior...... It is not simply divided into two factions: monks and believers.

As far as the monks are concerned.

A large number of monks dressed in black robes without eyes, they were similar to the monks who had received Lu Ran before, they had barely been promoted through pain, and they gouged out their eyes because they couldn't look directly at the pain, and they belonged to the lowest-level monks.

In addition, there are a small number of red-clothed monks.

They dare to look directly at the extreme pain, retain their eyes, and at the same time acquire certain 'characteristics' in the process of promotion.

They are unusually strong, or their flesh is inlaid with iron rings, or their bodies are covered with white bones.

Above the Cardinal Monks, there is also a rank.

When it comes to the strength of the aura, the gray-robed monk who led Lu Ran forward was the strongest.

"Sure enough, there are still high and low status levels within the monastery......

Anyway, if the previous test continues, it's still unknown whether I can win! If only the lowest [Monks] could reach this level, I am afraid that these high-ranking monks would be able to kill me easily......

This monastery alone is home to thousands of monks and believers.

With such an army of suffering, it is no wonder that it can become a special organization in hell, and even the Demon King does not dare to make enemies against them...... Of course, the Monastery of Hell may also have a necessary purpose for its existence.'

Upon reaching the inner courtyard, the monks dispersed.

Only the gray-robed monk who led the group continued to lead the way, stepping on the blood-red lawn, and finally came to the center of the courtyard, the crimson building of the cube.

The exterior surface of the building is carved with various 'suffering-like' patterns.

The front of the gate is engraved with the words Hell in a particularly conspicuous letter.

【Monastery - Punishment】

Before entering the main building, the gray-robed monk leading the way paused for a moment.

Pull open the zipper that closed the mouth, and let out a hoarse sound:

"Lord Harris is the greatest craftsman of the Hell's Monks......

All the original forms of torture instruments in hell are from the hands of adults!

The Torture Monastery is also the most advanced and high-end temple of the main heart of all the monasteries in Hell!

You should be honored to be summoned by Lord Harris in person.

Remember, once you set foot in the monastery of punishment, you are not allowed to leave me even a step...... Otherwise, once you are sucked away by the internal torture instruments, with your current ability to endure pain, you will only end up with a decay of consciousness and death. ”

"Understood."

Lu Ran nodded calmly on the surface, but his heart twitched faintly.

"Master of Torture Instruments...... I hope you don't experiment with me.'"

The gray-robed monk stretched out his right palm and pressed it against the door, recognizing the arrival of the high monk, and a dimensional portal leading to the interior was formed.

To enter this main temple, only the High Monks or High Cultists have the power, and other individuals can only enter when summoned by adults.

Airplanes!

A luxurious and exquisite palace hall decorated with countless torture instruments was displayed in front of Lu Ran's eyes.

The lighting method is even more peculiar.

The monks and believers of the inner courtyard will elect thirty of them every day to serve as 'humanoid lamps'.

They will stand in front of a pillar, open their skulls, and light candles by sticking candles into the surface of their brains...... Monks on the left, believers on the right! You need to maintain this standing position for 24 hours.

This can be regarded as a way for them to practice painfully.

In addition, the strange torture instruments hanging around the main hall and shaking from time to time actually had a terrible idea of wanting to get into the torture instruments when Lu Ran looked over.

The strong feeling of heat in the spine made Lu Ran wake up.

Lu Ran continued to go deeper into the hall, expecting to see this hellish monk who was good at making torture instruments on a magnificent throne, but under the leadership of the monk, he walked all the way through the hall and came to a wall.

A wall painted with strange formations.

"Lord Harris is waiting for you inside, and I have no right to enter."

"Good ......"

Lu Ran tried to reach out and touch the formation on the wall in front of him, and with a whoosh, he was sucked into the secret compartment inside - [Craftsman Room]

It was the secret room where Lord Harris made the torture instruments.

The circular room of about 150 square meters is divided into two floors.

The lower floor is the craftsman's area, and the circular craftsman's table is equipped with all kinds of precision equipment, various materials, some semi-finished torture tools, and even some priceless original craft manuscripts.

The upper floor is a library area, where shelves store a variety of books related to craftsmanship.

Not only from Hell Press, but also some craft books published in the human world are also included here......

"Another Hell Monk."

Currently, a [Monk of Hell] sitting in a 'wheelchair' is active in the upper library area.

With a book of craftsmen published at Imperial University in her hand, she flipped through it quickly, trying to break through the current difficulties of craftsmanship.

"Hmm...... Switching to a semi-wavy thread with a curvature coefficient of 0.135 can effectively improve the efficiency of flesh drilling and extend the service life. ”

The Hell Monk, who slowly closed the book, finished thinking before turning his eyes to the young man who had come to the craftsman's room...... Especially the left arm that exudes the scorching heat of hell.

Lu Ran also saw the face of this monk.

"it!?"

Lu Ran was taken aback.

Sitting in a wheelchair with missing legs, Lord Harris is a female monk.

Its image made Lu Ran feel 'flesh pain' when he looked at it...... It's more serious than the boss lady who only has half of her head left before.
