Chapter 95: Saint Cata Monastery

"At least I can teach her some ways to protect herself. Rolin, you know, those of you with a psychic physique naturally attract sources like a magnet."

York said, tapping the screen of his phone to stop its vibration.

"It's an unavoidable fact. There's an old saying in the East, 'You can run for a while, but you can't hide forever.' With Janet's talent, she's bound to encounter some things."

Hearing this, Rolin fell silent, no longer speaking. Just as the Father said, throughout her life, being someone with a psychic physique and the ability to see ghosts, she has always encountered unclean entities, whether on the road, traveling, at TV stations, or in cars.

This is the destiny of those with a psychic physique; they can only learn to accept it.

"I understand, Father."

"Hmm."

Seeing Rolin fall silent again, York didn't mind, simply unlocking his phone screen, thinking about other things.

This exorcism felt incomplete; he still had a loose end that wasn't tied up, a barrier that hadn't been pierced through.

The scent on the nun and what the hunchback said confirmed for him that this was a demon from hell.

But why did this entity target hosts with psychic physiques?

Thinking like a demon, their ultimate goal would surely be to bring forth their true form, to descend upon the human world.

But that made him puzzled. Possessing someone with a psychic physique, completing the erosion stage to achieve perfect control, is actually much harder than with ordinary people.

So, clearly, possessing an ordinary person and completing the erosion stage could also allow their true form to descend upon the human world...

"Sigh, can't figure it out, never mind."

York glanced at Rolin, whose ominous aura was fading, about to disappear completely, and decided not to think about it anymore.

However, besides this, the one regret he had about the entire exorcism process was that he didn't get to use the holy grenade under his feet, missing out on witnessing the burst of light he imagined.

Of course, aside from doubts and regrets, this exorcism wasn't without its rewards.

The 8 attribute points from the mission, and even an experimental result.

That is, he had roughly estimated the effect of enchantments.

Through the explosions of the two enchanted grenades and past experiences, York had a vague idea of their multiplier effect.

Recalling the explosion at Jesse Building and combining it with the information he had found, York narrowed his eyes, data after data forming in his mind.

"A grenade's explosion is roughly equivalent to 250 grams of TNT, while the explosion at Jesse Building should have been around 30 kilograms of TNT..."

His thoughts continued, York recalling the 160-point enchanted grenade explosion in the psychic space.

"Roughly around 40 kilograms of TNT..."

"So, how many points of enchantment equals how many times the item's own kinetic energy and energy."

Thinking this, York instinctively looked at the backpack under his feet.

This holy C4 itself has an explosive yield of 24 kilograms of TNT, with 160 points of enchantment, that is, a 160 times magnification of enchantment,

Now, this holy C4 explosive would roughly have an explosive yield of 3840 kilograms, that is, 3.84 tons of TNT.

"An explosion yield of about 3.84 tons, this holy C4 cannot be used carelessly..."

Through the comparison of two enchanted grenade experiments, roughly estimating the magnification rate of enchantment, York shook his head, withdrew his gaze, and continued to look at his phone.

Unexpectedly, the vibration of the phone was a sealed email from Old Mack.

"Father Mack found something? This timing is quite coincidental."

York felt a stirring in his heart, casually accessing the app to read the email, then entering a password known only to the two of them into the prompt that appeared.

The email unfolded before York's eyes, along with the mechanical voice of a triggered random mission.

[...]

[Triggered random mission]

[Solve the Sealed Land]

[Reward for completion: +40 attribute points]

[Accept the mission?]

[...]

"Wow, a 40-point mission reward, a big job has come..."

Looking at the virtual window that automatically appeared before him, York didn't immediately accept but began to read the email from Old Mack.

Combining the name of the sealed land in the mission, he felt that the subsequent events in this email would unravel his previous doubts.

As York scrolled through the email, second by second, time gradually passed.

When he got to the middle and saw something, York stopped scrolling; he finally knew about the situation of the Frenchman, Franche Lynch.

According to the email from Old Mack, the Frenchman Franche Lynch, before coming to America, worked delivering supplies regularly to a monastery in Romania.

"Romanian Saint Cata Monastery..." York stared at the phone screen, silently repeating the name of the monastery.

Monasteries in this parallel world are institutions established by the church for novitiate clerics, such as unassigned novices and monks, kind of like a unique school.

So it has another name: seminary.

In the monastery, there are special teachers who give these young clerics lessons on theology, Bible studies, and other knowledge, as well as church regulations.

Like the novice priest Archibald mentioned earlier, of course, novice priests are somewhat different, but before coming out, they also study in a similar monastery setting, going through various exams before coming out.

Recalling the demon's nun appearance, York has already listed this monastery as the first suspect.

If he's not wrong, this monastery is likely where the Frenchman Franche Lynch encountered the "nun."

After reading the email to the end, York didn't find anything of value, but he knew this was precisely what Old Mack meant by giving him a choice: if he wanted to know something, call; if not, don't.

Closing the email, silently putting away his phone, York glanced at the virtual window before him but didn't immediately accept the mission, instead starting to process his gains.

Looking at the unused 8 attribute points, for the first time, York skipped over life points, dividing the 8 attribute points in half, adding them to both the mental strength capable of sanctifying and the magic power capable of enchanting.

As paranormal events occurred one after another, he began to feel somewhat overwhelmed, not exactly overwhelmed, but he started to feel that his mental and magic powers were not quite sufficient, especially since there were still over a million dollars worth of munitions yet to arrive.

Besides the batch of original munitions yet to arrive, he also needed to sanctify the already enchanted ammunition and other items in the basement storage at home, adding holy properties, which was a huge project. So, this time, he chose to add these 8 attribute points to mental strength and magic power.

[...]

[Point allocation successful]

[Mental strength 85 to 89]

[Magic power 167 to 171]

[...]
