Black Heart Workshop

Han Dong already uses the Crow Magic and Mimicry ability of crows to completely disguise himself as a crow... If he were to participate in the crow Mimicry contest held by the animal world, he would definitely win first place.

However, it was just an ordinary crow, the kind of crow that was commonplace in cornfields.

The moment Huo Ziping stepped into the church, he immediately made a super-fast sword-drawing motion.

Buzz!

At a distance of about ten meters, the crow on the beam Body and Head Separation.

Just then.

A scarecrow resembling a ' The Godmother ' slowly emerged from the back of the church.

Squeak, squeak~ When walking, it makes strange mechanical friction and taut flesh sounds.

"How dare you destroy this sacred place! I will enslave your soul and make you a perpetual employee of the Tailor Church, crafting the 'shell' for the Lord."

The mechanical monster charged straight at Huo Ziping like a wild beast.

Its mouth continued to emit stitched tongues that resembled tentacles.

At every step, organic oil will seep out of the body.

Faced with such a terrifying monster, Huo Ziping's expression remained unchanged. He simply placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword and walked towards his target.

[Sword Skill: Dragon Flash]

Huo Ziping and the monster swept past each other.

The sword hilt in his hand only made a slow, deliberate sheathing motion, making it impossible to see the sword being drawn.

With oil spraying out, the straw robot resembling the Godmother had its "lifeline" severed, Transform Into a pile of scrap metal... Its head rolled right down at Huo Ziping's feet.

"The creation controlled by consciousness...the original body should still be hidden deep inside."

Huo Ziping's sharp eyes quickly scanned the church.

He then shattered the altar at the very front with a single sword strike, revealing a passage leading deep underground.

Huo Ziping strode forward without the slightest hesitation, heading down to the demon's lair.

Five minutes after Huo Ziping left.

The crow, which had been Body and Head Separation, suddenly came back to life... a large number of tentacles and threads grew from its head and connected to its body, piecing itself back together as a whole.

When Huo Ziping entered, the sword strike he casually delivered to the crow was devoid of any sword intent or killing intent; it was merely a physical kill.

"This is the same team that once directly defeated Pennywise in the main story world... They are terrifyingly strong."

I thought that having an Epic Grade weapon was already extremely rare for someone who had just become a knight.

Unexpectedly, I encountered another one here, and he was wielding his most favored primary weapon.

Even after Han Dong was beheaded, he continued to observe meticulously.

It is certain that the sword at Huo Ziping's waist is also an "Epic (Pink)" quality item.

Compared to the Crow Caller Staff, which enhances the properties of Dark Magic and commands the Raven Legion, this Dragon Pattern Sword seems more focused on killing enemies... Moreover, it can be combined with the wielder's own swordsmanship to unleash even more terrifying power.

"In our team, only Diana is likely to be able to fight this person head-on if she uses her true abilities... but the chances of Victory or Defeat are less than 30%."

Furthermore, the fact that they happened to arrive at the farm at the same time suggests that their team has a very skilled scout.

Perfect timing! Having this person distract the "The Godmother" makes it easier for me to uncover the secrets of the church.

Because Huo Ziping's killing was unexpected, he directly charged towards the enemy's lair with his sword. Han Dong then swaggered into the church and arrived at the room where the punk youth had been led into.

Click, click, click~

The sound of sewing continued in the closed room.

A punk youth seeking salvation at the church is sitting in front of a sewing machine.

He used nails to fix his five fingers to the sewing machine.

Forcibly sewing straw into one's own body with a sewing machine - making a scarecrow.

The pupils were completely dilated, clearly indicating that the person was under absolute mental control.

Awakening him would only cause the young man more despair and endless Affliction... It's better to just let him be like this.

Han Dong watched quietly as the young man stitched himself up.

The skin was completely integrated with the straw woven fabric, many parts needed to be replaced with steel plates, and the Joints areas needed to be fixed with iron nails.

Finally, I put on the homemade straw headgear and the project was complete.

At this moment, the sewing machine moved away on its own, revealing a secret passage... slightly different from the secret passage Huo Ziping entered, this was a staff secret passage resembling a church.

Only villagers who have completed their self-sewage repair can enter and work for the Godmother.

"Is this... an underground factory?"

No wonder so many villagers have gone missing, and the Misato Farm, which is basically unattended, still boasts dense cornfields over two meters tall. Is this the reason?

Han Dong followed the young man down the employee passage and arrived at a huge underground workshop.

Its area is exactly the same size as the farmland on the surface.

A large number of scarecrows are working here day and night...

The underground workshop is less than 50 centimeters away from the farmland above ground, and is stabilized by a large number of wooden frame supports.

Corn planted on the ground also has roots that extend downwards.

The reason why the cornfields on the farm can grow so lushly without the need for farmers to irrigate or fertilize them is because...

At the base of each corn stalk, it was all connected to the body of the 'worker'.

Human body fertilization.

This is to obtain higher quality straw.

Each straw worker has their own designated work area.

Each of them needs to be in contact with at least ten corn roots. Due to the curse, the nutrients in their bodies can be transported to the corn roots more efficiently, allowing the corn to grow quickly and produce a large amount of straw in a short period of time.

Then, using a special straw sorting device, straws of different qualities were collected and handed over to the Godmother.

"The situation is similar to that at the Bates Academy."

It seems that every area where the Hidden Resident live has their own self-built factories... if I'm not mistaken.

The ultimate goal of these poor villagers was to cultivate perfect quality straw to supply the Godmother with the "shells" needed by the Hidden Resident.

That's a truly comprehensive production process.

also.

Clang clang clang...

Han Dong could still hear the sound of swords cutting through metal coming from below. Huo Ziping was fighting in a deeper area, heading straight for the Godmother's lair.

Upon seeing this.

Han Dong, disguised as a reporter, conducts an in-depth investigation into this underground workshop.

soon.

Han Dong then discovered the [Straw Storage Area] in a huge compartment deep inside the workshop.

A special area where villagers sort and store straw of different qualities.

The "good" straw will be used to make Mechanical Scarecrow, which are like killing machines, to protect the farm.

The "high-quality" straw will be given to the Godmother for further processing to create "Spare Shell" that can be used by the "Hidden Resident - Sam" in special circumstances.

"Perfect" straw is the best material for making the "shell".

"Hmm? There's something wrong."

When Han Dong carefully examined the sorted straw with his Lesser Demon Eye, he discovered a huge problem.

Hidden storyline - [The Black Heart Workshop] has been triggered...
