Chapter 156: Cardinal Lanchi Seems to be Playing with a Very New Seal Art
Thus, under the sunlight, the syringe piston kept moving, and the needle in the executioner's hand turned into a blood-drawing pump, slowly draining the life from Count Palokas, who could only let out hysterical screams.
The rays of light refracted through the stained-glass windows gradually dissipated as Lanchi gently raised his hand, recalling the radiant virtue card.
The intense light was instantly devoured by the endless darkness.
At this moment, the needle in the executioner's hand could hardly draw any more blood, and Count Palokas' painful wails had also ceased.
The cathedral regained its warm and bright festive atmosphere.
"It seems he's done for now."
Lanchi murmured to himself.
"..."
Hyberian didn't dare to respond and stole a glance at the motionless body of Count Palokas on the ground before quickly averting her eyes, silently reciting prayers for forgiveness.
She only hoped that Lanchi would stick to being a principal and never venture into the field of medicine.
Otherwise, if he ever decided to open the first affiliated hospital of the Purgatory Corridor College, there would be big trouble.
"Ah...my blood..."
Count Palokas' skin turned even paler, his body shriveled like a grape that had been drained of its juice. If it had been any other creature, it would surely have been a corpse by now.
However, what was horrifying was that this vampire, now resembling a dried-up corpse, was still trembling, his trembling hands reaching out as if trying to escape.
...
Ecclesiasticus College.
As the white light on the outdoor giant screen dissipated, the visible image finally returned.
High above, the stained-glass windows no longer reflected any sunlight. Instead, they displayed an endless night sky adorned with sparkling stars, like a black curtain studded with gems.
The ancient cathedral stood as an altar between light and darkness, shrouded in mystery and cruelty.
The air was thick with the scent of blood and fear, mixed with the aroma of burning candles. The stone slabs on the ground were stained red with blood, and the candlelight reflected on them seemed to boil like lava.
Count Palokas, resembling a dried-up corpse, twitched and struggled on the ground.
Several figures surrounded the count, their faces bearing casual smiles that appeared twisted and bizarre in the firelight. Their shadows stretched long and danced wildly.
"..."
The entire square fell into silence, and the air seemed to freeze in an instant.
On the stone steps facing the giant screen, the seated students were all struck dumb.
It was as if they had witnessed an ancient ritual from a dark myth, and the challengers standing in the light had now become either perpetrators or indifferent bystanders.
"Are they beating the count or founding a resurrection church..."
At this midnight hour, even through the screen, a chill ran down the spines of those in Gerara Memorial Square, as if a cold autumn wind had blown through.
"Don't spread baseless rumors!"
However, there was one whose aura seemed completely out of sync with the atmosphere.
"Principal Lanchi is trying to educate everyone about the harm and consequences of staying up late, encouraging young people to maintain a healthy lifestyle!"
A light blue-haired little reporter kept snapping pictures of the giant screen, explaining to everyone with a beaming smile. Her enthusiasm suggested that she was ready to make Lanchi's deeds headline news.
"A role model sent from above, a true inspiration. This Lanchi, what positive energy!"
"..."
The students around her remained silent, not daring to utter a word.
She seemed like both a die-hard fan and an anti-fan of Lanchi, or perhaps she was just pretending to be a fan. There was also a possibility that she was a jester.
As the little reporter snapped photos, she also took out a picture of Lanchi.
It was as if she were warding off evil.
Or perhaps proving that she wasn't a fake fan but a true admirer.
This only made those around her feel that her identity was extremely complex!
...
...
Meanwhile, in the basement layer of Lichten Castle.
Everyone now faced a new dilemma.
"Mr. Lanchi, what should we do now?"
The Paladin and the male guard were like two immovable rocks, pinning Count Palokas down.
Even without the sun's rays, Count Palokas, having lost all his blood, had become even weaker than when he was first restrained.
Lanchi observed Palokas' condition, his expression gradually turning worried.
"In tomorrow's live broadcast, his current appearance might easily scare the ordinary residents and elderly and children passing by the Ecclesiasticus College. Our Civilized Role Model Squad has always strived to be accessible to all ages, so we need to help the count improve his appearance to make him more artistic and cultural."
The others nodded in agreement.
It seemed that Lanchi's condition wasn't as severe as they thought; he was at least aware that Palokas' current state could be frightening to the general public.
And so, Lanchi led everyone back to the banquet table.
Only the Paladin and the male guard remained, holding down Count Palokas, while the rest took their seats.
"After consulting some books, I found that the blood race likes to seal themselves in coffins during the day. I've always respected the culture of other races and ethnicities, so after we give him a more dignified makeover, we'll also prepare a coffin for him."
Lanchi continued enthusiastically.
He then took out a set of drawings from his pocket and placed them on the table for everyone to see.
These were the lecture notes he had prepared earlier at his writing desk.
Everyone stood up and focused their attention on the table, examining the drawings and explanations in detail.
The steps were explained clearly in both text and illustrations:
1. Washing and Purification: First, wash and purify the body, usually using a blood pressure resuscitator and alcohol.
2. Evisceration: Cut open the left side of the corpse and remove the heart, lungs, liver, stomach, and intestines.
3. Embalming: After removing the internal organs, the corpse is filled with alkaline salts for drying and disinfecting purposes.
4. Washing and Lubrication: The corpse is washed and coated with an ointment to prevent the skin from becoming too dry or fragile.
5. Stuffing and Restoring: Use linen strips, grass, or sand to stuff the corpse to make it look like a living person. The face can also be sculpted or coated with a protective ointment.
6. Wrapping: Finally, the corpse is tightly wrapped in layers of linen strips, which are usually coated with resin as an adhesive.
7. Enshrinement and Illustration: Once the wrapping is complete, the mummy is placed in a beautifully decorated coffin, and images of gods, hieroglyphics, and magic spells with sealing effects are drawn on the coffin.
"Let's give Count Palokas a grand funeral using this process. At least for the next four days, we won't have to worry about him crawling out of the ground."
Lanchi explained with a smile, as if he was eager to embark on a wonderful journey of exploration into ancient Egyptian culture.
The skills and knowledge required for this mummy-making process were anatomy, medicine, and art. He believed that this would be an educational and artistic cultural experience suitable for all ages.
Moreover, Lanchi was quite hopeful that he could capture the moment when the mummy crawled out of the coffin, proving that the sci-fi movies he had seen back home weren't just fiction and that mummies could indeed come back to life.
"... "
The cathedral fell silent.
Although the other challengers understood Lanchi's lesson and knew that it would be effective, it was still a bit too shocking for them.
Lanchi seemed to be experimenting with a very new type of sealing art.
Whether it was in terms of human morality, artistic expression, or the limitations of understanding in this era, Lanchi was far ahead of his time.
