112. Blood Sacrifice Plan
Vermouth went on to explain:
"These 3 monsters have all entered the candidates' dreams and acted as examiners in this year's admissions exam.
"We've been trying to reach out to as many of this year's candidates as possible to get information about the three monsters, especially the location of the seals they guard.
"Unfortunately, we haven't had any valuable information yet."
Stringed on, strung on, and the previous plot is all strung up! Russell's heart moved, and his thoughts were churning.
Therefore, they will develop new students as the downline, because the candidates who have participated in this year's admissions examination happen to be this year's freshmen?
As soon as Russell speculated, he heard Vermouth laugh again:
"But the clues in this regard don't matter anymore. We learned more crucial information from other sources - among the freshmen of the academy this year, there is likely to be one person who is destined to defeat the Demon King in the prophecy. β
Mention me? Russell's face was solemn and he continued to listen patiently.
"So we, the cultists, are we trying to find out the hero of this prophecy and kill him?" Wind Chimes thought about it from the perspective of a cultist and asked questions.
Vermetic's smile intensified, and he stretched out an index finger and waved itβnot caring at all, no one could see his movements in the dark:
"No, no, no, this child of prophecy is not necessarily our enemy."
Vermouth's tone suddenly became feverish:
"The second sentence of the prophecy is, 'So-and-so will eventually awaken the demon in his heart.'"
"Who is so-and-so?" A cultist raised his hand and asked.
"I don't know. Enter the name of the Son of Prophecy. Vermouth said.
Russell knew that "Russell" should be filled in here.
Vermouth concludes:
"All in all, judging by this description of the prophecy, it is likely that this child of prophecy will eventually become an ally of our Chaos Red.
"Our goal is to find the child of prophecy in the new life and win him over in advance. When the Order truly breaks the seal and frees the Demon King, the Children of Prophecy will also be on our side.
"We could even design a game where the Child of Prophecy can defeat the Demon King without actually harming the Demon King, literally fulfilling the prophecy.
"Do you remember?"
"Remembered." 5 people should be peaceful.
Russell would have liked to say out loud that prophecy is always meant to be misinterpreted in almost all types of stories, but ultimately did not do so.
It turns out that this is the true purpose of the demon worshippers of Chaos Red, who strive to develop students as an offline. Russell finally got it.
He began to seriously think about whether he should summon a demon, stun it, implant it in the left ventricle, and wake it up again, so as to fulfill the prophecy in advance.
It feels so troublesome, and I don't know if it counts......
Russell remotely directs the wind chimes and asks her to guide the topic of the secret meeting to see if she can find useful information.
Wind Chime said angrily:
"Alas, last time our summoning circle was discovered. I don't know which immoral student maliciously spread rumors that there were murderous ghosts in the gymnasium equipment room, attracting a bunch of troubled students to explore. If I could try again, I wouldn't be so unlucky. β
Russell deliberately commanded the wind chimes and led the topic to the summoning circle, wanting to see if the cultists were planning to arrange a second summoning circle when they bought the purification extract of the High Shadow.
When it came to this, the cultists were also very angry.
"Looking at the briefing on the official website, I found that the large summoning circle was made by two students who heard the rumors of ghosts coming to explore. Why is there so much going on with this group of students? β
"It's been a waste of their efforts, Lord Nocturne. I thought that by evoking a female ghost in an abandoned tower, I would be able to draw the attention of the students. β
"Uh, what's that female ghost's name? Forget it, no matter what. β
Everyone scolded and scolded for a long time, and everyone's topic became to accuse the female ghost of being incompetent and not sucking the attention of the troubled students.
Wind Chimes had a gloomy face and did not participate in the discussion.
"As the spokesmen of the Devil's Walk, we don't need to dwell on the failures of the past."
Before the wind chimes broke out completely, Vermouth ended the topic:
"The last plan was indeed too risky, and it was necessary to place a large abyss summoning array at a specific leyline node, and it would take two or three months of continuous operation to absorb enough leyline energy. This process will also lead to various anomalies in the vicinity, and the probability of being spotted in the middle is too high.
"But this time, we're definitely not going to fail.
"The improved large Abyss Summoning Array does not need to spend months absorbing the energy of the leylines, but instead activates the circle with a grand blood sacrifice.
"When the preparation is completed, we will arrange the summoning circle in the academy, and then immediately carry out the blood sacrifice, we can open the door to the abyss and summon a large number of demons to descend on the academy!"
Blood sacrifices?
Russell was shocked.
Sure enough, as Duncan said, he took the initiative to participate in the mission and would get key information!
But...... The cultists actually planned to perform a blood sacrifice in the academy?
Wouldn't that be more visible and easier to spot?
Or is this blood sacrifice different from what he thought?
Russell just had an idea, and a black-robed cultist asked a question in his place:
"Excuse me, can the blood sacrifice of 10,000 ants activate the magic circle?"
"I can't."
"What about 20,000?"
Vermouth didn't find this question funny, and patiently answered:
"Blood sacrifices at this level cannot be made of animals, only the sacrifices of intelligent beings are beneficial to the ritual."
Only the death of intelligent beings can knock on the door to the abyss!
Vermouth then chuckled again:
"With our undercover agents among the faculty and staff, this blood sacrifice is secret enough that it won't be discovered by the school authorities."
Other cultists also showed self-confidence and calmness.
β¦β¦
The midday sun shone on the school building.
Professor Black Amber's private office.
"What, blood sacrifice?
"Chaos Red Demon Believer, want to perform a blood sacrifice in the Academy?
"They're crazy enough to dare to sacrifice blood in the academy, and they're not worried about finding out?"
At the desk, Black Amber almost suspected that she had misheard in front of the ghostly distraction who had come to report the information.
"That's it. It's all me who has been involved in the gathering of demonic cultists, and I heard it with my own ears, it's true! Ahead, the soul that is exactly the same as the wind chime, swears.
Professor Black Amber was silent for a moment, then said slowly:
"Okay, I'll continue to follow up on this matter. We will never allow such a brutal cult to appear in the Academy! β
"By the way, there's one more thing," said the wind-chime-like soul again.
"The reason why the demon believers of Chaos Red lurked in the academy seems to be that they believe that the demon king is sealed in the academy and want to release it."
"This ...... They must have made a mistake, the Demon King is not sealed in our academy, right? β
