I tried to understand what I heard.

But I couldn’t quite comprehend it.

It wasn’t something I could perceive from the beginning.

’All the people in Morneveil... were treated by Dominic?’

No, can it be called a treatment? Is it appropriate to use such an expression?

No matter how small the place is, all the citizens of the city...

To Dominic....

I thought it was an exaggerated expression, so I turned my eyes away.

Dominic was looking at me.

When our eyes met, he gave me a faint smile.

I smiled reflexively at him right before Edel rang the bell again next to me.

"Oh! I have to introduce you to our apostles!"

Before she knew it, she regained her focus and asked for the apostles who were standing quietly like ghosts.

There were twelve apostles in total, but there were only the six people present including Edel, it was as if they had been sent for something else.

Young and beautiful men and women walked without making a sound.

’Please put some clothes on.’

I couldn’t even close my eyes let alone look at them in that sort of fashion.

"If you have anything to ask, order anything. We will serve you wholeheartedly."

"Yes.... I don’t really have anything in mind though..."

When Edel saw that my reaction was lukewarm, she opened her eyes to the apostles.

At the gaze of Edel, the apostles retreated silently as before.

’I can’t see the 12th apostle.’

The original order of the game was to solve the brainwashing of the church and recruit them as a colleague, but now we’ve already skipped a lot of steps, so it would be okay to recruit the leader right away. Probably.

However, we needed to solve the brainwashing of the 12th apostle through Dr. Dominic...

But...

’Dr. Dominic is completely weird right now!’

I couldn’t be too sure if he’d just brainwash me too!

Judging from the current situation, it would be crucial to not tamper with anything, there’s no telling what could happen.

I must’ve had a troubled expression, because Edel put her hand on me.

"My dear, is there anything I can do to help? I know there are a lot of things on your mind."

She smiled genuinely.

"I can do anything for the sake of the young sheep."

The system window came to mind.

[Would you like to welcome Cult leader Edel as a colleague?]

Wait a minute. Am I going to recruit colleagues here?

I looked at the system window with embarrassed eyes.

Originally, you can’t welcome Edel as a colleague in the reporter route.

I’ve only been able to welcome Edel as a colleague once on the Cult route.

’The play that I folded due to a game error was probably the true ending.’

She was extremely disgusted with adult men because of her childhood trauma of abuse.

All the sacrifices offered by the apostles of the void were adult men.

It was her pleasure to dissect the sacrifices on the altar alive and enjoyed the terrible screams they spit out.

Even if she acted as if she was open-minded on the surface from the start, it was not at all like that in reality.

I had to put a lot of effort into gaining her trust to recruit as a colleague

But I got her trust in half a day after meeting the reporter who came from London.

I think it’s because of the resurrection, but I wondered if it was okay to be this easy.

’Isn’t it okay?’

In fact, it was not a normal play from the fact that the resurrection was used in the reporter route.

If I added Edel as a colleague here, it would be like having a debt of 100 million won, but it also felt like I was borrowing another 100 million won.

And I was also curious.

’How comfortable would it be if Edel was a colleague?’

In the end, I couldn’t resist the temptation and chose a life of a debtor of 100 million won.

"Edel. Please be my colleague."

"I’ll be willing to do that, lamb."

[’Cult leader Edel’ joins as a colleague]

After announcing the recruitment of colleagues, another system window came to mind.

[I can’t recruit ’Cult leader Edel’ as a colleague!]

[’Cult leader Edel’ joins as a colleague]

[I can’t recruit ’Cult leader Edel’ as a colleague!]

[’Cult leader Edel’ joins as a colleague]

[I can’t recruit ’Cult leader Edel’ as a colleague!]

[’Cult leader Edel’ joins as a colleague]

[I can’t recruit ’Cult leader Edel’ as a colleague!]

[’Cult leader Edel’ joins as a colleague]

[I can’t recruit ’Cult leader Edel’ as a colleague!]

[’Cult leader Edel’ joins as a colleague]

[I can’t recruit ’Cult leader Edel’ as a colleague!]

"..."

It came up alternately as if it was broken, and in the end, the system window that came to mind at the end was only one.

[’Cult leader Edel’ joins as a colleague]

[Explain what kind of mission you need Edel to carry out.]

- Say you may betray the denomination.

- Tell her to raise your status.

- You don’t need to do anything.

- Let’s hold a ceremony to summon the god of emptiness together.

It felt like the last option was changing and was starting to become too specific...

Of course, I ignored it and chose the third one.

"But Ms. Edel. You don’t have to do anything for me. Just stay by my side."

Edel’s eyes got a little bigger.

The red eyes surrounded by white eyelashes quietly contained me.

It was because it wasn’t what she expected.

Soon she whispered.

"Then there’s no need to welcome me as a colleague, right?"

"I just wanted to get closer to Edel."

"...You should have ordered me to get close to me."

"I don’t want to give such an order."

Edel bit her lip.

I smiled a little at her and asked a question pretending that it was a completely irrelevant story.

"Oh, I’d like to look around the inside of the denomination, can I look around with Dr. Dominic?"

"Of course! I’ll get ready right now!"

"No, Ms. Edel you’ll be busy, so please attach another church member. Don’t you have to prepare for tomorrow’s ceremony?"

"But..."

"I’m looking forward to the ceremony that Edel will host."

Edel’s eyes drooped down.

She sighed a lot as if she really didn’t like it, but it was true that she was busy preparing for consciousness...

Since she set up dinner for me today, it would have been more urgent because it would have taken time out of preparation for the ceremony.

The apostles who weren’t visible now probably went to seek the sacrifice for the ceremony.

Edel, who seemed to be arguing about it for a long time, finally gave up and decided to give in.

"I’ll give you the most outstanding one among the apostles, but it still won’t be enough to serve the Lamb."

So I got out of the dinner room and took the churchman with Dominic to explore the inside of the denomination.

Such a free search. Edel’s power was sweet.

***

The psyche who was sent by Edel had a very lovable face.

It was like he would do anything for me and Dominic.

I took advantage of the gap the church member didn’t see and patted Dominic’s back.

I hurriedly added without making a gesture to deal with the ’prisoner’ who took the lead in front of us.

"He can’t kill me."

The guide asked as he turned to us.

"Hm yes...? Sorry I didn’t quite hear what you said...."

He couldn’t finish the end of his sentence, Dominic had already gotten to him first.

He fainted as soon as he came in contact with Dominic’s fingertips.

"Thank you. Dr. Dominic."

I dragged the fainted member, threw him into the corner, and took out the camera in my inventory.

"I’m going to collect evidence from now on."

Dominic looked down at what I was doing and asked.

"Do you know the way?"

"Of course, you just have to follow me."

There are 13 pieces of evidence that can be used for exposure in the reporter route.

Decisive evidence and general evidence are collected together, and if you fill in only 13 pieces of general evidence, you will fail to expose it.

It was important to find all the decisive evidence.

Except for evidence that can only be collected on a specified date and evidence that must be found elsewhere, there are eight pieces of evidence that can be collected immediately from the denomination.

Some of them can only be found if they recruit an apostle as a colleague, but there was no need to worry because I took the leader as a colleague.

’I’lI fill all 8 today.’

All the evidence of the denomination building was on the third floor.

It was a trick to make players waste time searching the space, thinking that there would be something on the first, second, and basement floors.

I had already done all kinds of vain things in the game and went straight into the third floor with Dominic.

Unlike the lower floors of the building, the third floor wasn’t as complicated as neuroscience.

There were five rooms facing each other diagonally in the long corridor.

The events that occur according to the order of entering the room and the randomly assorted items that followed.

It was a structure that you couldn’t get what you wanted if you entered casually.

As soon as the system window gave me the option to choose where to enter from, I immediately selected what I wanted.

[Enter the first room on the left.]

And it began to move my body quickly with maximum efficiency and minimum movement.

It’s an ordinary study at first glance, but if you press the books on the bookshelf in order...

"Dr. Dominic. Could you press the book in the top row just once?"

The bookshelf opens and the hidden space in the back is revealed.

"...!"

It was a sacred storage room.

The tools used by the denomination to perform personal services were stored here.

In this place where there are so many things, I quickly found only what I needed and took pictures.

If you take a wrong picture, it may not be adopted as evidence later.

It was better to take multiple photos to play safely.

But I knew from which angle to take a clean evidence shot, so one shutter was enough

[You found the ’blood obsidian dagger’! It is a tool used for sacrificial ceremony.]

[You filmed it perfectly! It is recorded as decisive evidence.]

[You found the ’eyeballs of the offering’! It is a formal bottle that collects only the eyes of the victims who were sacrificed as a sacrifice.]

[You filmed it perfectly! It is recorded as decisive evidence.]

[You found the ’Percival Boo of the Empiness’. It is an old book that records the order and method of rituals to summon gods.]

[You filmed it perfectly! It is recorded as general evidence.]

[You found a little peculiarity while photographing the eyeballs of the sacrifice.]

The eyeballs in the formal bottle were all blue.

It was a color that I didn’t see in the game.

After one last shutter, I had finally gotten everything I needed from the sacred storage room.

"Now, let’s move on."

[Enter the third room on the right.]

As soon as I entered, a brilliant space appeared.

The most gorgeous place in this building was Edel’s office.

It was decorated with beautiful gold and red patterns across the walls, and delicate antique pieces as furniture.

It started to hurt my eyes the longer I gawked.

It was a space where you could truly feel Edel’s mental world as it was.

I found the key hidden inside the office and opened the box that was hidden under her desk.

[You found the ’Breath of the Fog’! It’s a disease containing drugs used to brainwash church members]

[You filmed it perfectly! It is recorded as general evidence.]

I packed the bottle of the breath of the fog in my inventory.

The reason why it is recorded as general evidence, even though it is a star-bearing item is because the composition is not enough yet.

If you entrust the ingredient investigation to a lab and attach the result sheet, it will be upgraded to decisive evidence.

Dominic, who was watching my actions, asked with curious eyes.

"There’s nothing you don’t know, Roasted Chestnut. How do you know all these things?"

"That’s... It’s the same reason why the water is rotten. Now let’s get going."

After repeated transfer and farming. 2 definitive evidence, 1 preliminary definitive evidence, and 4 general evidence were collected.

Now all we needed to do was get the last decisive evidence.

I stood at the end of the corridor and groped the place blocked by the wall with my hand.

’It’s about here.’

Dominic put a lamp close to the wall for me.

After groping for a while, I felt a fine bump on my fingertips.

’This is it.’

When I pressed the bump, the wall opened silently and a hidden space appeared.

I entered the secret space with Dominic.

However, there was one unexpected problem.

"Roasted Chestnut..."

The ceiling of the secret space was too low...

Dominic, who was crumpled, looked at me.

I felt like I had committed a very grave sin.

If the butlers had seen this scene, they would have killed me on sight.

I couldn’t help but ask at this point.

"That... Dr. Dominic. This may be very rude, but can’t you reduce your height...?"

Other people wouldn’t have asked this kind of thing.

But isn’t it Dominic?

I looked up at him with anticipation

I don’t know why, but Dominic laughed as soon as he heard me.

"I tried it before, but it didn’t work."

"Is that so?"

I nodded regretfully.

And I advanced to a narrow space with the squeezed Dominic.

This place was unusually narrow not only because of the low ceiling but also because the walls on the sides seemingly kept closing the farther we went in.

That was because it was a space made to seal special objects.

In the center of the space was a bizarre metal box.

A large snow pattern was drawn on a black metal box that looked like it was made of a single metal block.

I squatted on the floor, and Dominic followed me and bent his knees.

The metal box I picked up was not cold.

But rather in fact, it was warm like a living creature.

No one could open the box containing the most important sacred objects of the denomination.

Five complex mini-games that turn people upside down have to be succeeded in a row without even a single fail...

"I’m sorry."

"...?"

As soon as I put my hand on the box, it opened.

As if someone had already opened it first.

[You found ’Shining isosceles polyhedra! It is a necessary medium to summon the god outside.]

An object with an illogical geometric shape wrapped in black velvet and shone with an ominous light.

I looked at it in a daze with a strange light.

Then I suddenly turned my head as if someone had caught me.

Dominic was staring at the shining isosceles polyhedra.

"This is..."

The blue eyes shone more than the bizarre item.

"I’ve seen it in the past."

Tiling!

The option came to mind with a cheerful notification.

[What will you do with the isosceles polyhedra!]

- Summon the god of emptiness!

- Summon the god of emptiness!

- Summon the god of emptiness!

- Summon the god of emptiness!

- Summon the god of emptiness!

- Summon the God of emptiness with Dr. Dominic!
