Demon Gate

The part of the monastery that extends beyond the cliff is an open-air entrance hallway.

From a distance, you can see a group of nuns in black robes carrying candles, strolling around at night... Even Though it is daytime, you can still see a lot of firelight in the monastery.

Upon seeing this scene, Togu still couldn't remember anything.

As you walk along the tree-lined path toward the monastery gate, you will pass through a strange cemetery.

Han Dong possesses the attribute of death, and... Han Dong can sense things in ordinary cemeteries.

However, this cemetery could not establish any connection with the deathly aura emanating from Han Dong; all that could be smelled from it was a foul stench.

Soon, man-made inscriptions were discovered on the black, withered trees surrounding the cemetery.

This is the Graves of the Victims. Please do not disturb.

"The victims, the nuns who died from the attack by the Demon Locusts?"

Honestly, if it weren't for seeing the 'Do Not Disturb' sign and considering that he was about to go to the monastery, Han Dong would have really wanted to be a gravedigger...

A certain magic array in the cemetery will hinder the Lesser Demon Eye's ability to see, allowing it to only glimpse some saprophytic creatures burrowing in the soil.

As you pass the cemetery, the dark and heavy gates of the monastery come into view... and a special nun is in charge of guarding the gate.

A thick, sturdy hemp rope was tied at one end to the Succubus Sculpture above the gate, and at the other end to the nun's neck.

Hang it in the center of the gate.

The bulging eyes caused by the choking allowed the nun to 'carefully' observe the outsider.

As Han Dong and the others approached, the nun emitted hoarse sounds from her choked throat.

"The monastery strictly prohibits anyone who is not of demonic nature or who is not affiliated with the monastery from entering."

"We are community workers under Director Sam, and we want to come and experience three days of life inside the monastery."

This will allow us to write an article titled "Life in the Monastery," encouraging more residents with this interest to learn about and join the monastery.

Han Dong changed the name to the neighborhood committee and handed the Universal Pass to the nun who was guarding the door.

Strange things immediately happened.

The nun's back suddenly exploded open, and a Demon Egg covered in mucus and with eyes on its surface fell out of her body. As soon as it came into contact with the air, the life inside the Egg Body began to move wildly.

It tears the Egg Body apart with its sharp claws.

From it crawled a succubus with two curved horns on her forehead, a voluptuous figure, and a bewitching appearance.

Rumble!

When the gate opens.

The newborn succubus took out a well-fitting nun's habit from the wardrobe located to the side of the door and put it on.

Her slender tongue licked the corner of her mouth, and her alluring eyes swept over Han Dong and his group. She beckoned them to follow...

"Are all the nuns here succubi? Togu's life used to seem pretty good."

Because of the travel permit.

The nuns led Han Dong and his two companions to the Residential Area for visitors, and gave them a detailed map of the monastery's interior.

Stone walls, candlelight, and a soft, large bed.

Han Dong naturally chose to have the team members live together, as one room was enough.

"Those who enter the convent must abide by the convent's rules... Every night from midnight to 4 a. m., all the nuns will go to the Main Hall for ceremonial worship."

During this time, please stay quietly in your rooms and do not wander around.

At other times, you are free to move around in any of the public areas and experience the monastery life you desire.

If permitted, I may lead you on a tour of the monastery's working areas.

The areas marked with red lines on the map are restricted areas within the monastery... especially the area behind the [Demon Gate], which is absolutely forbidden for outsiders to set foot in.

"You absolutely must not come near. Even if we don't discover you, you'll be torn to pieces by what's inside."

I don't know why.

Although the nun kept reminding him of the forbidden zone, Han Dong had a feeling... that she seemed to be deliberately revealing information about the [Demon Gate].

"Um."

Right after the relevant matters were discussed, the succubus nun immediately began to talk about her personal affairs:

"Valen Nicholas... you are an outstanding citizen who joined forces with the prosecutor to kill Dean Richard."

If you have completed the neighborhood committee's requirements ahead of schedule, you can come to "The Nun's Quarters" to find me.

This is my room key.

We nuns usually live in four-person dormitories, and my roommates and I would very much like to welcome you.

The nun handed him an antique bronze key, deliberately extending her succubus tail from under her skirt and curling it into a heart shape, even releasing an invisible, seductive mental influence, but Han Dong remained completely unaffected.

This is normal.

Succubi in hell feed on desire, and any strong, virile males who come here are considered rare 'food' in their eyes.

Han Dong took the key and immediately put it in his pocket, thinking that the key might have other uses.

After the nun left, the team immediately locked the guest room door and began discussing the next steps of the investigation.

Cas was sitting on a stone bench, polishing his shield. "Is this the monastery? It's not as dangerous as I expected."

"The reason there's no danger is simply because our target is still only on the surface of the monastery... Diana, have you discovered anything?"

As Diana scraped her finger bones, she said, "This nun is a bit strange; she seems to be deliberately telling us about the existence of the [Demon Gate]."

They also specifically mentioned that they would hold their worship service in the early morning hours.

"If we just sneak into the Demon Gate during this time, no one will find us, right?"

"That's right. The nun seemed to be warning us, but her real purpose was to lure us in... She was trying to exploit the investigators' curiosity and deliberately lead outsiders into the restricted area."

If we die, they can easily tell the Outside World that they warned us in advance, and that we only brought it upon ourselves.

However, we must delve deeper to find the information the mayor wants.

So... let's take advantage of the daytime to wander around inside the monastery.

Tonight, while the nuns gather in the Main Hall, let's try going to the [Demon Gate] to see what's going on.

"OK."

That's all.

The three men, disguised as neighborhood committee staff, strolled casually through the monastery.

According to the inscription left by the first builders on the stone tablet in the main hall, the monastery was built in 1583.

The fundamental purpose of its construction was to guard and suppress the [Demon Gate] - a secret passage that naturally exists in the world and connects to the border of Hell.

Candlesticks are placed in every area of the monastery.

More than 10,000 candles keep the monastery lit, and you can see nuns responsible for lighting and changing the candles wherever you go.

Even Though the monastery is now completely corrupt, and the nuns have all become succubi.

But they still seemed afraid of what was behind that door, or perhaps they had some other purpose...

There will be three updates today. Recently, Ah Fei has been updating three times irregularly, gradually recovering.
