The Twilight Chapel was completely different from what Zheng Yichen had imagined!

Of course, some parts were similar to what the bartender had said. This place was indeed a place where Novice Hunters easily lost control of their spending. As time passed and it neared evening, the Twilight Chapel gradually became more crowded.

Perhaps this was around the time some people got off work? The people coming here were a mix of hunters and Ordinary Persons.

Most of the time, the difference between hunters and Ordinary Persons was that there was no difference. Hunters still needed to eat and drink. It was just that their jobs were different from Ordinary Persons, and their lifestyles overlapped significantly when they weren't working.

The Twilight Chapel didn't have any rules prohibiting certain beings from entering, so Ordinary Persons could naturally come here. However, it seemed like no 'prayers' were held here. It was more like a place for out-of-town tourists to come and spectate.

Among the Ordinary Persons who came here, some were students, seemingly coming here specifically to read. Uh, Zheng Yichen admitted that the environment and colors of the Twilight Chapel were indeed quite good, otherwise, he wouldn't have had the idea of coming here for a nap.

Where hunters gathered, there was a lack of Ordinary Persons, and vice versa. In Zheng Yichen's observation, Ordinary Persons would also curiously approach and look at the items displayed by the hunters.

It seemed some people were even interested in buying something, but the hunters here required them to show their licenses. If they didn't have a license, they wouldn't sell. But this situation didn't apply to all Ordinary Persons.

Some Ordinary Persons did successfully make transactions. The hunters who asked for licenses didn't react to this. Zheng Yichen pondered if those who weren't hunters had bought fake goods? Or perhaps the items they bought wouldn't cause any trouble even if they took them home?

It was like a live mad bull is dangerous, but a dead mad bull's head, if properly processed, could be displayed at home as a decoration.

Hunters also mingled in the areas where Ordinary Persons gathered. Some were looking for fellow book lovers to read with, some were playing chess with chess partners, and occasionally passing Nuns became an extra adornment in the chapel.

People from different circles here seemed quite harmonious. After observing for a while, Zheng Yichen even felt a sense of peaceful tranquility.

He had to admit, he had fallen in love with this place.

It was just that they didn't provide any snacks, not even a vending machine, which left him a bit regretful. He should prepare some snacks for his next visit.

Furthermore, there was the attitude of the Nuns. If someone had a question, the Nuns would answer, but only within the scope of their answers. In other aspects, they were very... professional. During chapel activities, they wouldn't engage in any superfluous actions.

In the few hours Zheng Yichen observed, he didn't see any Nun zoning out or making any unintentional small movements. They were professional, extremely professional, so professional that no one could find fault with them.

No wonder the hunters who seemed to frequent this place didn't ignore the Nuns but treated them with an attitude of 'seen it all before.' Being in the same place as such professional Nuns who wouldn't make any extra gestures or actions.

It seemed that besides having problems, or needing to repair weapons and receive treatment, there was really no other place for interaction. They wouldn't engage in idle chat, so what else could they do?

Zheng Yichen walked up to a table where a hunter was sitting and looked at some small items on it. The hunter merely glanced at Zheng Yichen before looking away. Zheng Yichen came here because the items this hunter had placed here did not require a license.

They were the kind that Ordinary Persons could buy. The small items looked like they wouldn't be of much use even if bought.

The hunter's attitude was also the kind where it's up to you whether you buy it or not. He was purely here to pass the time by displaying some items.

Zheng Yichen picked up a silver cup with some peculiar patterns on it. It looked like some kind of creature, a seemingly nice piece of art, not an antique.

"How much for this cup?"

"Pure silver, six thousand and it's yours." The hunter casually glanced at the silver cup Zheng Yichen was holding and quoted a price.

Zheng Yichen immediately put it back. Never mind. He was considered to have some assets now, but he wasn't so extravagant as to buy a piece of art to worship. Drink water with this thing? His living place wasn't a castle; ordinary cups would suffice.

Looking at other things, Zheng Yichen was quite surprised to find that the styles of these items were all different, but they didn't look like fakes. Well, with his discernment, he wasn't qualified to think that. What he saw now didn't look like fakes, and normal fakes also looked like they weren't fakes.

"I'm new here, can I ask about something?"

"Let me hear what it is first." The Hunter put away his phone and didn't seem impatient.

Zheng Yichen sat down directly: "It's about the Twilight Chapel. I only learned the basics from the Nuns. I really like this place, so I want to learn more about it."

"There's actually not much to say. The Nuns here behave very 'rigidly'. Anyway, it's hard for people who come here to get them to talk about extra topics. As for the rest you need to know, it's just deepening your understanding based on the rules you already know."

Unexpectedly, the Hunter became quite talkative when discussing the Twilight Chapel: "People who like it here will come often. People who don't like it will come once and won't want to come again. If you like coming here, we might meet often in the future, or we might only meet this once."

"Don't look at the Nuns being beautiful and think about hitting on them. You might as well play romance simulation games on your computer. The Nuns are very strong. I haven't seen them fight, but I've seen them easily lift tables like this when cleaning the chapel."

The Hunter gestured towards the long table in front of him. The solid wood table was heavy, and the Hunter didn't really intend to lift it, just demonstrating: "One hand can lift it."

"..." So those Nuns are really formidable. And, old brother, you just mentioned romance simulation games? You know about that?: "Are those Nuns that powerful? Isn't there some hidden secret Research Institute here?"

The Hunter was noncommittal: "Perhaps. Besides, although the weapon repair services here are more expensive than in many places, the repair technology is first-class. As long as your equipment hasn't truly become scrap, it can basically be repaired. Of course, if it's too severely damaged, it's better to get new ones, unless those items have a story."

"Also, regarding treatment, ordinary gunshot and stab wounds are easily treated here. Even injuries like tendon damage can be healed here. Although the price is relatively high, it guarantees no sequelae afterward."

"For severed limbs, it depends on the cut and how well the limb is preserved. Generally, if you suffer a severed limb injury, it basically means there's no time to retrieve the limb. That's basically it. Oh, right, the treatment services include massage and bone setting. The price is generally more than ten times higher than unregulated places."

"Brother, now that you say it, this chapel is actually this amazing?" Zheng Yichen gasped, gaining a new understanding of the chapel: "My name is Changqing."

"En..." The Hunter nodded slightly, wanting to say something but hesitating. In the end, he only gave his name: "Just call me Arno. I hope we meet often."
