Free Web NovelChapter 51: Chapter 51
I stared at the teacup, standing in a daze.
Dominic rotated it back and forth slowly so it was easy for me to see the bottom of the cup.
I opened the status window while looking at the pattern engraved on the back of the base.
I checked the top of the status window.
-Han Goyo (Little Lamb) ♡ x 1
The number of hearts was the same.
’I was definitely sentenced to death.’
I didn’t resurrect at the hotel, and I still have the same number of hearts.
"Dr. Dominic...."
I opened my mouth to confirm the reality of the fear I felt.
"Did you save me?"
"Yes. I revived Roasted Chestnut."
The blood on Dominic’s hand slowly disappeared as he put on his gloves.
I’ve been asking politely, but it seemed like it wasn’t getting me anywhere.
"Do you have to be so crude?"
"..."
"I will be careful from now on. Ah, I knew Roasted Chestnut would come back to life! But I think I found something good, and I wanted to show you soon. Doesn’t it take a long time to come back from the hotel?"
A nice bass voice was scattered in my ear.
I couldn’t say anything back while he said soothing words to me.
The existence in front of me is out of the law of trial.
How do you even define that?
An existence that defies even the system.
I felt like I was falling into an endless abyss.
I twitched my dry lips.
"No...Thank you."
My guess now is meaningless. No matter what I infer, I’ll be out of my prediction.
Because this is something I’ve never experienced.
So I should only focus on the definite part.
’Dominic’ has a crush on me, and I’ll use his favor to the maximum to quickly clear the call of the void.
Leaving ’Dominic’ here and getting the hell out of this trial!!
At least, this is the best I can do right now.
Of course, Dominic may cause an abnormality after clearing.
...
This is totally out of my pay grade.
And that’s not even the worst of it if you worry about something else and fail to clear. You’ll be trapped here...
’The only way to live is to clear it’
I tried to stay positive.
As a result, I found a massive advantage.
"Dr. Dominic."
"Yes, Roasted Chestnut?"
"Can you save me even if I die again? How many times, if possible?"
"As much as Roasted Chestnut wants"
Being able to revive dying people? AND it doesn’t need a designated resurrection point but the place you died?
This is practically an infinite heart cheat code!
Realizing the great advantage, the coexistence with Dominic didn’t feel so bad.
"I’ll take care of you in the future. If I die, please save me right away."
After asking politely. I didn’t forget to praise Dominic to boost his morale.
"I’m so glad that Dr. Dominic is my colleague. It was so scary and hard to be alone."
’Dominic is the best.’
’Dominic is awesome’
’What would I do without Dominic!’
I recited every affirmation as if my life depended on it.
Dominic laughed lowly.
After complimenting him for an awfully long time, I grabbed the teacup holder that was still circling in the air.
Behind the base of the teacup, there was a pattern similar to Horus’s eyes.
"It is a symbol that the apostles of the void use in rituals. Thanks to Dr. Dominic, things will be much easier."
In fact, the pattern drawn on this teacup base symbolizes the empty void apostles, but it has appeared here when looking for evidence.
It didn’t really play a ’huge’ role in Call of the Void; it just added a creepy feeling.
But I revived Dominic’s qi with praise.
Then I seriously stiffened my face.
"It seems that the church tried to poison me...I don’t know why. I think this is only the beginning now."
In Call of the Void, defending against an assassination attempt once isn’t the end.
Until the hostility is resolved, several assassination attempts, including poisoning, will continue.
’It’s probably Edel...’
I don’t know why she tried to poison me at first, but when I deduced the suspect, she was the only one who could have done it.
A window came up at the perfect time.
[I was poisoned by a person in a hostile relationship. I’m talking to Dr. Dominic to decide who the culprit is.]
-I say you are the culprit
-The Dr. Dominic says that Edel is the culprit
-The hotel employee says it’s the culprit
-The third force says that it is the criminal
-He says he wants to know about the god that the apostles of the void are trying to summon.
I haven’t met many NPC’s yet, so the options were shabby.
I chose the second one.
"Maybe Edel, the owner of the church, poisoned me."
[It is confirmed to Dr. Dominic that the person behind the poisoning is the owner of the church, Edel. ]
-Tell Dominic that he’s scared.
-Face the head of the church, Edel, head-on.
-He says he wants to know about the god that the apostles of the void are trying to summon.
’I didn’t know my apostle option would disappear.’
But once I died, the shape of the letters became gentle, and the content changed a little, but it was the same, and I was tired of it.
I thought about the options for a moment.
Until now, I have built a good relationship with important NPC’s every time I enter an ordeal.
This time, since I was taking the reporter route, it seemed that I had no choice but to pretend to be with Edel.
It was a pity because I quite liked Edel.
Or anyway, she has a lot of influence in Morneveil.
If I had left it alone, it would’ve tormented me in many ways.
I had no choice but to subdue the seas.
I chose the second option.
"I’m going to face Edel head-on."
And as soon as the fixed option line was over, I added my thoughts.
"I think I’ll be immobilised if I stay like this for too long, so I’d like to try something to get them off my tail.
Dominic asked with interest.
"What’s the way?"
I showed him the half-left teacup.
***
Edel walked easily while humming.
Dominic stopped in front of the reception room and lowered his voice.
He knocked on the door lightly.
"I’ll go in."
There was no answer, but Edel opened the door on her own.
It’s not a situation to give permission to come in anyway.
She expected the scene to unfold in front of her eyes.
I entered the reception room with my heart pounding pleasantly.
It was a little different from what was expected.
"Teacher...?"
Dr. Dominic was standing with a dead body.
His beautiful blue eyes looked at Edel.
At that moment, Edel thought.
’There’s no way.’
Edel, who was frozen, hurriedly approached Dr. Dominic.
She shouted as if she knew nothing.
"Oh, how could this be, the lamb...!"
Pretending to check my condition, she grabbed my drooping arm and checked the pulse of my wrist.
It was a definite death.
It’s a way to deal with the existence that’s wandering.
I tightly shut my lips so they wouldn’t catch me smiling.
The church members poured in as if they were waiting for the right time.
They screamed as they looked at the corpse hanging in Dr. Dominic’s arms.
"It’s a murder case within the denomination!"
"Dr. Dominic may have been targeted too!"
"We will protect you!"
Edel stood in front of the church members and earnestly asked Dominic. ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Dr. Dominic. Please let me take the reporter. First of all, we need to check what kind of poison he’s been poisoned with, so please give him to us..."
A polite refusal fell.
"I don’t think it’s necessary, Miss Edel."
Dr. Dominic’s gaze turned down with some expectation.
I’m looking forward to it.
Edel blinked her eyes quickly without realizing it.
’Maybe I read it wrong.’
She followed the teacher’s gaze, doubting herself.
The beautiful face was dead as if it were asleep.
The tightly closed eyes will not be opened again.
Right?
But.
At a certain moment, unfolding in front of her, Edel stopped breathing.
The color suddenly returned to his face.
His chest swells with breathing, and then his open lips inhale and exhale.
Then the eyes are slowly revealed.
As if he woke up from a sweet sigh, the rested eyes turned to Edel.
Edel looked at him in a stunted way.
It was as freshly fallen snow, clean and clear.
The lamb didn’t say anything for a long time and just looked at her, then showed a soft smile.
Finally, the lamb opened its mouth.
"It’s okay, Ms. Edel."
As if to forgive everything.
The moment she heard the kind whisper, the thrill of enlightenment completely covered her face.
You already know everything.
You know I also tried to poison you.
The fact that you were revived.
’This was a miracle of God.’
Edel opened her mouth, trembling all over.
"Resurrection..."
She shouted as if she had been struck by lightning.
"The young sheep received a miracle and was resurrected!"
’The resurrection of the lamb that died and came back to life’ was a useful method when going down the cult route.
In the resurrection room, the conflict within the denomination disappeared as if it had been washed away, and infinite support for me was formed.
However, it was a method that could not be used until the resurrection point could be designated as an altar because it was a prerequisite for resurrection in front of the church members...
But I had Dominic, and he moved as perfectly as I wanted.
I died after drinking the remaining black tea.
Since I died, I carefully checked how the system window popped up this time.
[You have died.]
[You have resurrected in front of the eyes of Dr. Dominic!]
The system window didn’t make a fuss like when I first died.
But as if it were a matter of course, it was creepy to think of it as if it had originally resurrected me like this.
I opened my eyes first. freёwebnovel.com
The church members were gathered like clouds in the reception room.
Edel was shaking with her eyes wide open in front of her.
It was a very satisfying reaction.
I gave her a wedge.
"It’s okay, Ms. Edel."
’I know everything, but I’ll take care of it, so take care of yourself.’
When I threw a line with that feeling, Edel gave me a more satisfying response.
It proclaimed my resurrection in front of the church members.
"The young sheep received a miracle and was resurrected!"
Thank you, Dr. Dominic.
I thanked him in my heart for the resurrection, I almost hugged him at the spot.
It was the first time I used the resurrection on the reporter route, and the effect was much better than I expected.
I became a VVIP of the apostles of the void, and I was invited for dinner.
And although they did invite me for dinner... Edel and the church members clung to me the whole entire time.
I felt burdened because of her clothes, but I accepted it for fear that there would be a hostile relationship if I refused.
"I can’t believe we’ve made such a precious person go through a hard time. Please forgive us, Lamb."
She even shed tears while saying that.
I patted her quickly before she cried in earnest.
"No, it’s not. Because everyone makes mistakes."
"Ah, be so kind!"
Edel, who was in tears, looked at me with passionate eyes.
I just felt more burdened...
"How nice it would be if you joined the church. I have plentiful knowledge of the god that I want to tell you about. But it must be too burdensome to hear this. Why don’t you take a look inside the denomination today? If you have any questions, please let me know!"
She was adorable with her bell-like voice, like a small puppy.
I glanced at Dominic while awkwardly eating the food handed over to me by the personal tribute.
Dominic was talking to the church members while I was being treated to dinner.
Everyone felt like it was difficult for Dominic.
It’s like a sanctuary that shouldn’t be touched carelessly.
It’s good timing that Dominic is far away.
I gulped down the food that Edel gave me and asked in a low voice.
"By the way, Ms. Edel. How did you end up being treated by Dr. Dominic?"
Then Edel smiled sweetly.
"Actually, it’s a secret to outsiders...but I’ll tell you because the lamb is so special. "
She put her lips on my ear. The breath that touched me gave me goosebumps.
"Everyone in Morneveil was treated by Dr. Dominic. Without a single person."
"...Yes?"
I looked at her while falling down. Edel’s eyes were blurred.
"The teacher called me to his clinic"
She looked up at me and whispered.
"We are all his patients, Lamb."
