It was past midnight when I returned to the church, and the monsters in the night had already evolved to the second stage.

Cheng Shen didn't go out to waste time and take risks hunting.

He sacrificed the hunt points he had previously saved to the Invisible, earning some experience rewards.

But it's still a long way from raising the asylum level to level three.

Wait until dawn.

He immediately returned to the clinic.

The clinic, which usually opened its doors early at dawn, was still closed, and Cheng Shen had already expected the scene.

Squeeze through the crowd.

Push the door in.

In front of him, there was a figure lying on the ground and looking at the posture of crawling out. The gray sideburns reflected his dark face, Griffin was bleeding from all his orifices, and his death was extremely miserable, and his body had become cold and stiff.

There was silence in the clinic, which had been wailing.

"It's miserable."

Cheng Shen bent down and took off a ring on his hand.

[Obtained: Dean's Ring!] 】

……

It is a ring with a special effect, and its only function is to exercise the rights of the dean.

After Cheng Shen wore it on his hand, his job title automatically became:

Acting Dean.

The powers of the acting rector are very limited, and he can only send notices to the Holy Chamber, and cannot decide anything.

For example, he can now report the situation in the clinic to the Holy Hospital.

But there's no hurry.

It will also take time for Covey to become the new deacon of the Abbey.

Before that, he had not been able to interfere with the appointment decision of the Holy Chamber, and if a new abbot was sent to him, wouldn't he have made a wedding dress for someone else.

"Ecovey's rights can only affect one thing now......"

Cheng Shen said in his heart.

He walked down the corpse-strewn corridor to the second floor, where Dr. Poison was snoring like a dead pig in front of Nader's door.

He is an important part of Merge's plan, and naturally he will not be poisoned to death. However, it had nothing to do with him surviving, and if it weren't for the fact that the bet needed him to live to take effect, he wouldn't have survived last night...

Wave your hand to remove the phantom array at the door.

Cheng Shen pushed the door into the house.

Balufo and Yousefka, who were guarding Nader, were immediately awakened by the voice, and the former immediately cried and said, "Your Excellency, you have finally returned!" ”

"What are you crying about, people are not still alive."

Cheng Shen glanced at the patient.

In good condition.

He didn't use the Light Divine Technique, which had a heavy residual aura, but he chose a softer hydrotherapy technique to stabilize his injuries, and combined with the ointment that was originally refined with magical materials, it was naturally simple to save an ordinary person.

Change the medicine for him again, and you can even be discharged from the hospital and go home to raise him.

"Dr. Black Poison was hanging out the door last night, and he wanted to kill Nader! You didn't know it was a thrilling scene! ”

Balu Fuqua Boulevard.

"Thrilling?" Cheng Shen raised his eyes slightly, "There are more exciting scenes waiting for you outside, but before you walk out of this ward, I need you to take a poisonous oath first, and promise that you will never betray me in the future." ”

He had a hundredfold more convenient way to control the two of them than he had made an oath.

But in that case, he was only forcibly subduing the two, and he could not make them completely reconcile.

After he becomes the dean, he will inevitably reveal some of his own abilities, and he needs the two of them to keep his secret for him from the bottom of their hearts, instead of turning around and trying to sell him to the Holy Academy.

Of course.

Necessary insurance measures must still be available......

"In God's name, I will never betray you!" Balufo said decisively. He had nothing to hesitate about, he had no choice when he blocked his future, and even helped Cheng Shen refute the black poison doctor with his life.

"As long as you don't let me do things against my will, I am willing to follow you forever."

Yusevka added a condition.

"Yes."

Cheng Shen quietly planted a soul seed in the two people's bodies, and then pushed the door open, "The clinic won't open today, you two go and clean up the corpse, remember, don't talk too much no matter what you see." ”

"The clinic is not open?"

The two were puzzled.

This doesn't seem to be something Cheng Shen can decide? It wasn't until the two of them knew what was happening in the clinic that they had a full understanding of what he was saying.

Syllable!

The big mouth snorted on the black poisonous face one after another, and he woke up in pain, "Hiss...... Which king and eight lambs dare to fight ......"

The voice stopped.

Seeing Cheng Shen, who was standing in front of him condescendingly looking at him, his eyes showed uneasiness, and he said stiffly: "You dare to hit me!" If you don't respect your seniors, I can immediately report to the Holy House to revoke your job evaluation! ”

"It used to be."

Cheng Shen said.

"But now I'm afraid you can't continue to play for the tiger."

"What do you mean?" The first thing that Black Poison thought of was that he had lost the bet and his performance would be cleared.

As for the fact that Merge would die, he couldn't even think of going there.

Cheng Shen said calmly: "Deacon Moge is your brother, and in order for you to win the position of director of this clinic, he brutally poisoned Dean Griffin, dentists, heart doctors, and everyone in the clinic.

Because I served on the day shift, I was lucky enough to escape, otherwise no one would have been able to shake this miserable thing out. ”

"Poisoned everyone!?"

Black Poison's eyes were shocked.

The first time he learned the news, he didn't have the slightest suspicion, because Mogue can indeed be crazy to such an extent!

Black Poison stood up suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his breath gradually became dangerous, "You said my brother poisoned him?" Do you have proof? I also said that you wanted to covet the position of the dean, and deliberately poisoned and framed Deacon Merger! ”

"Sit down."

Cheng Shen said softly.

Poof!

Black Poison immediately sat back uncontrollably, and his face was suddenly full of shock, "You, what kind of witchcraft did you use!" ”

Cheng Shen ignored him.

"I'm not here to argue with you about who poisoned you, I'm just stating a fact to you. We have more important things to do between the two of us. ”

He took out a yellowed contract from his bosom.

Black Poison stared at the ring on his hand and said excitedly: "You dare to take the token of the Holy Courtyard privately, this article can sentence you to death!" ”

"I'll be the dean from now on, why can't I wear it."

Cheng Shen grinned.

"The dean was killed, and Deacon Merge fell into the darkness and fought the blood monster to the death, how pleasant it sounds. I can be promoted to the crow as soon as I get your performance, who else can sit if you say I don't sit in this position? ”

Cheng Shen has never liked to be verbose.

At the moment, just to wait for the contract to take effect.

"Uh......"

In the hospital room, the sleeping Nader gradually faded from his high fever and came to his senses.

The system prompt rings in your ear.

[Mission accomplished!] 】

[Gain: Experience +250,000!] 】

[Gain: Performance +12!] 】

[Hint: Your career resume has been updated!] 】

……

Before completing Nader's task, Cheng Shen was only named in this clinic, equivalent to an intern with the real power of a doctor.

Complete the task,

That's what happened.

And this also means that he has the qualifications to inherit this clinic.

The gambling contract in his hand began to glow, and Cheng Shen smiled and touched it with the dean's ring on his fingers.

The gambling contract was immediately divided into two parts, each of which floated into the hands of Cheng Shen and Black Poison.

"...... the gambling contract takes effect"

An old voice rang out.

Crash.

The two gambling contracts were immediately shattered into specks of light, and one was integrated into the black poison's body, bringing out a trace of blood in his pain and returning to Cheng Shen's hands.

[Gain: Performance +996!] 】

[Hint: You've been qualified for career advancement!] 】

……

The gambling contract took effect and directly rushed his performance to 1,000 points, Cheng Shen did not delay, and immediately notified Kewei to send someone to come to the assessment through the soul seed.

Dr. Raven's job evaluation has always been that the doctor himself goes to the Holy Hospital.

But having privilege is so convenient that if Covey is now a deacon of the Holy Courtyard, he doesn't even need to show his face......

"You can't ......"

The face of black poison is distorted.

"Unfortunately, if I have enough time, I can do it seamlessly.

Instead of being as porous as it is now. ”

Cheng Shen shook his head.

If evidence of Merg's poisoning can be found, combined with Black Poison's interrogation confession, Covey can replace Merg as a deacon more smoothly, and he can rightfully sit in the dean's seat.

But now he can only choose to hide the truth about the almost extinction of the clinic.

Otherwise.

His identity does not stand up to scrutiny.

It is impossible for him to stay here for too long, and when his identity is revealed, it is estimated that the main quest will almost come to an end.

It won't matter then.

"Now, tell me everything you know......"

Cheng Shen's eyes were dark.

……

Sincere!

The planer fell on the wood and the debris was scattered.

In the quiet factory, Cheng Shen is still carving one by one, but the speed of carving is much faster than yesterday.

"When I got off work yesterday and went to work today, I felt the traces of the night watchman again, and it seems that the house of doom carries a great weight in their eyes, and they refuse to give up after two consecutive failures......"

He thought about it with two minds.

"But the Redemption House has also strengthened its supervision of me, and the tyrannical soul snatcher is always there, and they don't dare to do it for a moment."

"I have to take the initiative to create opportunities to engage with them."

Cheng Shen thought.

Before, he wished the Redemption had driven the Night's Watch away, but now it's the other way around. He had to figure out what the Night's Watch was secretly up to, so he wouldn't be too passive when something happened.

Cheng Shen's eyes raised.

He did not hand over the newly made components to the conveyor track, but assembled them into a puppet more than ten centimeters high in front of the surveillance.

The structure of this puppet is very simple.

The smooth appearance of the woodcut, the limbs that are not flexible at all, and the surface is even more bare without any eucalyptus lines.

But it was such a model that, in the eyes of the monitor, moved without warning.

It struggled to pick up a carving knife, which was larger than itself, making its movements look comical. Cheng Shen's mouth let out a laugh of unknown meaning, which clearly echoed in the empty factory.

"There is a situation!"

A voice came from a dimly lit room.

A candlestick was placed on the table, and the light of the fire reflected the figures of several people.

One of them was holding a crystal ball in both hands, and the light and shadow in the transparent sphere changed, showing that it was the factory room where Cheng Shen was.

"What did it do...... A smaller puppet? ”

"That's what it's capable of?"

"But how does it make an inanimate puppet move on its own? What's going on? …… Is it asking the puppets to carve for him? ”

A room of people fell silent around the crystal ball.

Of course, a pocket puppet can't be carved, but what if it's ten, a hundred......?

Cheng Shen is constantly increasing the number of pocket dolls, allowing them to carve instead of himself.

This scene was all presented in the eyes of several redeeming priests.

"It has hidden its abilities for more than ten years, why did it suddenly start to be actively exposed?"

"Maybe it's already spotting our surveillance and deliberately showing us ......"

"No way, I'm always paying attention, it never glances at the surveillance, otherwise I would have sensed the peep right away!"

"Interesting ......"

"Since it can manipulate small puppets, it must also be able to manipulate larger puppets, and even transform its target into a human ......"

Hypotheses were raised.

"Isn't this the same ability as a magician?"

"You said before that it caused the temptress sent by the Night's Watch to disappear into thin air and clear an alley."

"Huh! Appeared! ”

The Redeeming Priests are still discussing.

Immediately, the little puppets in the room began to decrease one by one.

"Erase! This is the most terrible erasing ability! Immediately increase the threat level of the puppets to the first sequence! ”

Someone exclaimed.

"This ...... If it rises to the first sequence, it will have to be destroyed recklessly, and if it can't be destroyed, it will have to be permanently sealed, but I don't think the threat that the puppets are showing at the moment will not reach this level......"

"I think so, too. The puppet has been very stable for more than ten years, and has never hurt anyone, even if it is bullied. ”

A thick notebook rests on the table.

If Cheng Shen could see the content recorded in it, he would definitely be shocked.

From the birth of Carl, it records in detail even the steps he walks every day, and the order of his left and right legs! The priest in charge of recording Carl's daily life can be said to know him better than his own mother!

"It's going to kill those people, I guess, because it's life-threatening.

Regarding its contraindications, we can test it step by step. ”

He proposed.

"But it's too dangerous! A weird who has mastered the abilities of the first sequence will pose a huge threat to the city! And there's no guarantee that it will always be stable, so what if it gets out of control during testing? ”

"You have a point."

"Vote."

“……”

There were five people in the room, unless one person didn't respond, and the other four people voted exactly two to two.

"Master Wesley...... What do you think it should do? ”

Soul Reaver. Officer Wesley slowly raised his head, the light reflected on the smooth skull in his hand, and the old voice rang out, "The threat is insufficient, tentatively the third sequence, and send the experimenters to test its taboos." ”

His words basically determined the outcome of Cheng Shen's disposal.

"Then let's watch for a while."

……

At the end of work, Cheng Shen left the factory unimpeded.

There was no body search.

There was no cross-examination.

At this moment, he also made a decision in his heart.

"Give it a chance, don't ...... I'm so active, and if you don't come to contact me, then I can only abandon the light and turn to the dark. ”

Cheng Shen said in his heart.

Today's display of ability was also the last chance he left for the Redemption House, and it was clear that they didn't cherish it.

This also shows Cheng Shen an attitude:

Your abilities are useful, even strong, but we don't lack you as a unit.

The Night's Watch, on the other hand, approached him like a dog's skin plaster.

Choosing who is more promising is no longer a matter of consideration.
