Chapter 86 - The Origin of Divine Addiction (2)

How do you get there?

I watched the guy disappear.

'Oh, I haven't come back even after passing the boundary point that leads back to the workshop.'

It literally disappeared as soon as it left a certain area.

It looked like it was swallowed up in thin air.

It's mysterious.

'With this, we have almost all the materials.'

I held the link that Noryang had given me.

A little bit further ahead.

If you can increase your insight and figure out the secrets surrounding the sacred relics of the Holy Nation.

With that, the stability of divine power is increased and it becomes possible to combine with other mana.

'Perfectly enchant the Guardian's Bracelet.'

With that, we can further ensure the safety of Heejin and me, and Shinjuhee's climb to the top.

I left the workshop.

It was time to help Pastor Lee gain insight.

***

"Whew, you worked hard today."

"No. Pastor Lee suffered more."

I greeted Pastor Lee, who was drenched in sweat.

I felt it while assisting in the creation of his relics.

'The number of addicts is increasing.'

How the rumor spread.

The number of patients seeking him gradually increased.

My share of the holy relics has been reduced accordingly.

Pastor Lee was a saint of this era.

Never ignored someone in danger.

I did my best to help patients to the best of my ability.

But to my eyes, it's a ticking time bomb.

All these actions did was to feed the bomb and extend its fuse.

"It would probably add a lot of confusion, because it's just putting a ventilator on a terminally ill patient."

"But that doesn't mean we can turn a blind eye to sadness and hardship. Amen."

That's right.

Shouldn't we at least prolong our lives before we completely lose our minds and are buried under a mass of swollen flesh?

'Is this the spirit of this pastor's craftsmanship?'

There are different types of craftsmen, each living their own life and developing their own spirit.

Jeong Ji-su followed in his father's footsteps and helped those in need to hone his abilities.

The pastor was the same, but the ending was a little different.

'I'll help as much as I can.'

Is it a commitment to growth?

Are you growing through dedication? Although there was a difference in word order, the difference was clear.

Because I could keenly feel his nobility and sincerity.

'What is my craftsmanship?'

Not just limited to one type, but making it perfect in various ways?

I don't think so.

Does that mean it's an expression of your heart for Heejin?

'It's difficult.'

Reflections on craftsmanship. Rising insight. Collaborating with Pastor Lee has been very rewarding in many ways.

"I don't think he'll come for a while. I think I've collected enough sacred relics."

"Oh, really? That's too bad. It was very convenient to make the sacred relics with you, brother."

"Haha, I'll stop by to help you out sometimes if you need it."

"I welcome you with open arms anytime."

It ended warmly.

I left the church and checked the results.

[Quest cleared.]

[Compensation will be paid.]

A new skill was given to me, the Eye of Sharing.

And up to 10 points for the exclusive store.

With this, the points have been accumulated to 14 points. Now, what about skills?

'Status window.'

I came home and checked my skills.

Grade: B

Description: Enchanters always imbue their equipment with a soul, whether consciously or unconsciously. They resonate with that soul and form a strong bond with the equipment's owner.

Ability: Once per day, when in contact with the bearer of a piece of crafted equipment, you gain access to that person's vision.

Shareable Number of People (1/1): Shin Joo-hee.

So this was the skill.

If Heejin hadn't introduced Joohee that day, this list would have been blank.

'Then can I share Joohee's perspective now?'

Shin Joo-hee, who applied to Shinsungguk to fill the gap left by the 100th lecture.

Because of this, the ultimate tower climb is on hold for the time being. Currently, all contact has been cut off.

'Is she busy with work? Or is Joohee also missing like 100 Kang?'

When I finally get a chance to check something after finishing my busy work, I become anxious.

So I started by getting some information.

Holy Nation.

Holy Addict.

Current Situation.

I searched and it was a mess.

'There were a lot in Korea, so how much more so in other countries?'

These are patients with incurable diseases whose condition is rapidly increasing.

As expected, the common factor is the experience of using the sacred relics of the Holy Nation.

They had heard rumors that the Holy Land contained a cure and were headed there as pilgrims.

'Closed prayer meeting? You're running this as a treatment program?'

There's a strong foul smell.

They receive a large sum of money and go into treatment completely isolated from the outside world.

I wonder how the community blocks it.

Can the power of the system be stopped?

'Even divine addicts are willing to do anything if it means they can be cured.'

So, was Shin Joo-hee also deployed as a guard at that closed prayer meeting?

So that's why you're not answering my calls?

Something feels uneasy.

Look what happened to my only substitute climber!

At that time, Shinsungguk and others were brought in, including Ma Seok-ho and Yoo Seong-jun.

'No, but what if I share the time with someone while they're showering?'

It's a worry that suddenly occurred to me.

But it won't matter, so in that case, why don't you just stop sharing right away?

'Okay, that will work.'

Sexual crime is a very sensitive issue.

It can't hurt to be careful, right?

'Okay. Let's take a look.'

I used the shared eye.

Then the view changes.

It was a novel experience.

Is this what it's like to wear VR gear?

The house I was looking at has been transformed into a new space.

Is this what Shin Joo-hee sees?

You can't look around.

Literally, I only shared Shin Joo-hee's perspective.

I can't hear or smell anything.

But just looking at it was enough to get a grasp of the situation.

'What is that?'

The first thing that came into view was the bound Loggia.

66th place on the red tower. Why is that woman tied up?

And that's not all.

In front of Logia. Another 100-strong player who was said to have gone missing, Broyan, is standing there.

Free compared to other captives.

A lump of flesh was writhing next to him.

'It's not just a lump of flesh.'

It was like a giant ball with a face on it.

A grotesque lump of human flesh distorted by despair. What is that? Ugh, it's gross.

'I know at least two things.'

Broyan, who seems to be bursting with madness.

The author is the cause of this incurable disease.

And that Shin Joo-hee, Logia, and others were in danger.

'Must be saved.'

At least Shin Joo-hee, for sure.

I immediately opened a community and contacted the two strongest players in Korea.

At the same time, I went into the workshop to do what I could.
