Chapter 42: Who Writes a Diary Seriously?

[Does the Netherworld Flower involve strategy?]

[When you study the dungeon, don’t you think about its plot? There are three maps where you can find the Netherworld Flower, they all have common features, quite obvious.]

[Didn’t we mention at the beginning? There must be a Poisoner here. A simple Poisoner can’t be figured out, but when combined with the Netherworld Flower, it means all Poisoners, when turning into sacrifices, are controlled by the Netherworld Flower. In other words, the Netherworld Flower intercepts the sacrifices meant for the evil god.]

[Yes! Those Poisoners are actually the Netherworld Flower’s avatars.]

[From the plot’s perspective, as long as we can control the Netherworld Flower, we can ruin this dungeon.]

[Master Karoso, look quickly, after reading it, go find the Netherworld Flower or Poisoner!]

"Okay." Karoso said and opened the diary.

[January 12th]

[Oh, look what we found, it’s the Netherworld Flower! Where there is a Netherworld Flower, there are traces of our lord.]

[Turning the surgery into ritual magic also nourished the Netherworld Flower, this doctor is truly a genius!]

[January 19th]

[Finally dealt with these Poisoners, when the Netherworld Flower gets enough nutrients, we can sacrifice the Netherworld Flower and all the Poisoners.]

[February 7th]

[No, it’s still not enough, we need blood, a lot of blood!]

[February 23rd]

[Even with fresh blood, darn it, was our ritual for summoning the Netherworld Flower wrong? Why hasn’t it formed yet?]

[March 7th]

[It seems that the Netherworld Flower can grow based on people’s emotions. We, as the followers of the Lord, might not be providing the right emotions.]

[April 18th]

[I understand now, I understand it all. Making people extremely happy, satisfied, and then bringing them despair can make the Netherworld Flower pleased.]

[Moreover, the people providing the emotions cannot be ordinary, nor can they all be the same.]

[Let’s further research this. Anyway, I know what to do now.]

[Give them hope first, then despair, and in their utmost desperation, offer them a glimmer of hope, only to mercilessly crush that hope. We can achieve this!]

[December 18th]

[We have caught enough, today, let them welcome our Lord together, shouting the name of our Lord!]

Karoso closed the diary.

The diary didn’t have much, but it basically explained the cause and effect of this dungeon.

First, there is hope… In the corridor, we got lost in a dream, feeling very brave, that’s hope.

Then comes despair, maybe we’ll encounter a very strong enemy in that empty room.

At this point, they should fight hard and turn the tables.

Finally, shatter that hope to pieces.

It’s probably like that, or even more complicated.

[There’s a problem here, why not just keep using mental spells to control?]

[Yes, isn’t this simpler?]

"Can’t do it," Karoso said. "People only don’t want to wake up when they are dreaming sweet dreams. When they are having nightmares, they try all means to prove whether they are dreaming or not, and then try to wake up."

"Our opponents are not strong enough, they can only make us sink into sweet dreams, not into nightmares."

[Master Karoso, go find some help, and then we all can go find Poisoner. As long as we find Poisoner, I can find the Netherworld Flower!]

"Okay," Karoso stood up.

[Wait, there’s a problem with this diary, Master Karoso, burn this diary with the oil lamp!]

Karoso hesitated for a moment, then picked up the diary and ignited it with the oil lamp.

After being roasted by the flames, the black cover of the diary turned into a brown color, most of the pages inside were burned, leaving only less than a third of the thickness before.

Karoso looked puzzled, "This diary… was actually disguised?"

[Damn, I told you that broken piece looks unusual, please call me Northeast Sherlock Holmes!]

[I also remembered, in a small activity, there was a hidden picture like this, burning the diary would reveal the real recipe for making cards, it’s the recipe for an Epic Card.]

[Surprisingly detailed!]

"Let me take another look." Karoso opened the diary again.

[January 9th]

[Sixteen years have passed, from learning medicine at the age of nine until now, I have finally become a qualified doctor!]

[January 13th]

[Today I received a very special patient, her name is Maxie, she is a nun, I believe she must be an angel! Oh divine being, thank you for letting us meet. Her beautiful golden hair, I feel like I won’t forget it even in my dreams.]

[February 1st]

[In order to spend more time with Maxie, I became a believer, even though I didn’t know what deity I was believing in.]

[February 30th]

[I attended the church dinner, where devout believers gathered. Maxie was secretly looking at me, hehehe… Wouldn’t it be great if she wasn’t a nun?]

[By the way, are nuns really not allowed to marry? I really like her.]

Karoso’s gaze sharpened.

February 30th? What a strange date, why would he write down a date like February 30th.

Could it be that his mind was already starting to blur at that time?

[April 1st]

[Maxie asked me if I was willing to serve the Lord, and if I agreed, she would bathe in the glory of the Lord with me.]

[I just realized, the glory of the sun god is being naked, so can I…]

[No, I will not stain Maxie because of this, I cannot look at her in that way! I like her soul, not her body!]

[April 2nd]

[Maxie has a great figure.]

[April 9th]

[Oh no, after bathing in the glory of the sun god together, I couldn’t look directly at Maxie. I followed her and saw her enter the restroom… Unlike her pure self, this version of her is more humanly fragrant.]

[The way she tied her hair was truly beautiful.]

[May 20th]

[Today will definitely be the last time I peek at Maxie!]

[May 21st]

[What did I see last night? Five men, exactly five! They are all missionaries!]

[Maxie’s face was sacred, she felt she was doing something very holy.]

[Darn, I just wanted to confess to her after seeing her, why would I see such a thing in her room?]

[May 22nd]

[I questioned her, she said it was a ritual that every nun had to go through, their hearts were only dedicated to the Lord.]

[I punched the wall, but having used my hand excessively yesterday, I felt weak, and my anger seemed very silly.]

[June 1st]

[I intended to leave Maxie, but after just two days of not seeing her, I felt like there were many ants crawling on me.]

[I understand now, I love her, even though she has been tainted, I still love her!]

[She has been controlled by someone’s mind, definitely, I must rescue her!]

[June 17th]

[I became a real missionary]

[June 20th]

[Maxie, tonight I will see what this ceremony is all about, I will definitely save you!]

[June 30th]

[Maxie, today is the last chance, I will save you tomorrow for sure!]

[September 23rd]

[Maxie, I swear to the gods, today is the last time.]
