Mystery: Becoming a Creator Through the Doorway

Chapter 61, Sections 1-117: "Midnight Rose"

"Do I need to complete a task independently before I can become a formal unofficial night watchman?" An Ruowang asked curiously.

"You've misunderstood, child."

Saint Anthony said gently, "As a favorite of the goddess, you are now an unofficial night watchman."

Moreover, the idea you just proposed is a major undertaking in itself. If it can be successfully implemented, its contribution to the church will be greater than that of a hundred independent missions.

An Ruowang shook her head and replied, "No, what I mean is, I want to, and am willing to, complete a task for the church independently."

There's a saying, isn't there?

With a hammer in hand, everything looks like a nail.

Even when playing games, after painstakingly leveling up and getting the best gear, most people are still eager to find other players and monsters to kill and enjoy seeing the huge numbers pop up on the screen, right?

Since he came into this world, he has experienced a lot, but none of them were real battles.

An Ruowang really wanted to take this opportunity to test her strength, ability, and level.

Looking at Aleister's young face and eager eyes, Saint Anthony suddenly realized, "Then that's naturally no problem."

He assumed that Aleister simply had a strong desire to repay the church while not wanting to abuse his privileges.

After all, it seems that in the beginning, he wanted to contribute to the church as an unofficial extraordinary being, which led to the establishment of the unofficial night watchman.

Hmm, maybe it's because Aleister didn't want to just do ordinary paperwork?

Young people, that's understandable.

In short, he couldn't possibly refuse such a request.

Saint Anthony thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you have any requirements for this mission? Should we wait until we obtain the two sealed artifacts before attempting to carry out the mission?"

He was terrified that something might happen to the goddess's chosen one.

That way, we can be even more foolproof.

An Ruowang immediately replied, "It would be best if it were something more malevolent, something that would involve fighting."

He couldn't wait to try fighting monsters and getting equipment.

In response to the latter question, An Ruowang replied, "However, if I wait until I select and obtain the two sealed artifacts before carrying out the mission, wouldn't that take far too long?"

Saint Anthony shook his head, his smile carrying the characteristic tolerance and playfulness of the older generation: "Who says we have to wait?"

He picked up his teacup and took a slow sip: "Child, you can simply pick out two suitable items for emergencies, and then exchange them with the church's inventory later when you find something you like better."

An Ruowang immediately realized what she meant: "You have a recommendation?"

Saint Anthony took the stack of documents from in front of Anjou, his fingers expertly sliding across the pages.

As the Archbishop of Backlund, he was intimately familiar with the location of these seals and the classification of church documents.

He quickly pulled out two documents, glanced at them to confirm they were correct, and placed them in front of An Ruowang: "Child, take a look at these two sealed items and see if they meet your requirements."

An Ruowang took the document and began to read it.

Number: 1-117.

Name: Midnight Rose

"Danger Level: 1," extremely dangerous, but safe for members of the Church of the Night to use.

"Confidentiality level: Diocesan bishop, night watch deacon, and above."

Sealing method:

Nourish daily with blood (at least thirty drops) and a complete dream;

Alternatively, church members may recite the psalms from the Book of Revelation at a set time each day.

"Nightmare" can forcibly pull it into a dream, while "Soul Soother" can use soul-soothing abilities to put it to sleep;

Description:

A rootless rose with the characteristics of life; its color gradually changes from white to red with watering. Its roots are invisible, as if emerging from a dream or from darkness, and when it takes root in the user, the roots may occasionally turn black.

"This item comes from a Sequence 4 'Night Watcher' who failed to advance to a higher sequence. She suffered an accident while trying to advance to a higher sequence and was severely mentally damaged."

During the seven days when she was on the verge of losing control, she watered the roses she had carefully cultivated for many years with her own blood every day, trying to stabilize her mind through her hobby.

But on the seventh day, she suddenly went mad, slitting her wrists and letting her blood drain away to feed the roses, finally collapsing in front of the rosepot. The extraordinary properties released after her death combined with her beloved roses, thus giving birth to this sealed artifact.

"illustrate:

Researchers at the church confirmed that the rose possesses certain characteristics of a living plant; it can go hungry, has its own sleep and growth cycle, and even shows an instinctive affinity towards church members.

A deacon once reported that while investigating the sealing chamber late at night, he saw the roots of the rose emerge on their own, but they did not attack it and did not seem to pose a threat to church members.

Main abilities:

1. The Realm of Night:

It can unleash a tidal wave of pure darkness within a target area, creating a domain. Within this domain, the enemy's vision is completely blocked, their perception is greatly reduced, and the darkness itself is corrosive, slowly stripping the enemy of their life force and bewitching them with misfortune. However, this ability does not distinguish between friend and foe.

2. Entering and Shaping Dreams:

It can forcibly drag living beings into dreams and actively shape those dreams. Within certain limits, the user can select targets, excluding companions, and drag living beings into the dream. If the user does not actively interfere with the dream, the target dragged into the dream will repeatedly experience the scenes they fear most and least want to face, until they suffer a mental breakdown.

3. Commanding spirits:

Its roots can seal and command natural spirits and vengeful ghosts, similar to the abilities of a "spirit sorcerer." They can also physically entangle a target, bringing a chilling sensation. Those entangled will feel their life force being slowly drained, their will gradually crumbling, until they fall into a deep slumber.

4. Chanting to soothe the soul:

It can soothe the soul, calm the desires and emotions of opponents, or bring natural spirits to a more peaceful state. It can also be used to heal the emotional state of teammates. It can also create noise by chanting, making the target frantic and arousing their destructive desires, or use different styles of poetry to have different effects on the surrounding creatures.

"limit:

The maximum range of ability is a radius of one kilometer. Exceeding this range will place a great burden on the user, leaving severe psychological trauma. If the spirits controlled are too powerful or too numerous, they will backfire on the user after exceeding the limit.

Multiple examples (see appendix) demonstrate that the item is relatively safe to use when the user is a member of the church. Users who are not members of the church will be actively attacked by the sealed object, posing an extremely high risk; see appendix for details —”

After reading the first document, An Ruowang fell into deep thought.

This sealed artifact possesses an extremely wide range of abilities, encompassing everything from terrain and combat to control and manipulation of spirits, all belonging to the same true Sequence 4 "Night Watchman".

There's basically no difference.
