Hearing the words of the wind chimes, Russell's heart moved.

For a long time, the wind chimes lacked their own memories and only retained a certain amount of common sense. This was the first time that Wind Chimes had discovered an object related to her memories during her lifetime.

Is it a certain wind chime that has a very deep memory before his death? Russell suddenly had a conjecture.

"Which one? It's not this "Immortal Emperor Lin Daiyu", right? ”

"No, another one. You look to the left. ”

Russell followed the instructions of the wind chimes attached to her and found the book called "Luo Qianqiu and the Elixir".

"Are you sure it's this one? Have you read this book before you died? Russell asked.

"Uh, not sure, my memory is very vague." Wind chimes aren't so sure.

Russell took the two books "Immortal Emperor Lin Daiyu" and "Luo Qianqiu and the Elixir", sat down at the table, and read them in turn.

The author of "Immortal Emperor Lin Daiyu" is called "Metro Warlock", and he is a new generation of online authors.

Russell looked at the synopsis:

"A generation of Immortal Emperors was reborn in the Red Mansion and turned around to Lin Daiyu. Let's see Jiafu change the sky, and then call the world to change the sun and the moon! ”

He flipped through the table of contents again.

Chapter 1: Sister Lin fell from the sky

Chapter 42 Lin Daiyu uprooted the weeping willows

Chapter Seventy-Five: Daiyu Funeral Flowers

"The title of these seventy-five chapters is quite normal." Russell flipped to the corresponding page number as he thought, and the content of the chapter came into view.

"Let's say that the man-eating flower demon has been practicing for thousands of years. If you devour the people of Jiafu today and refine your blood qi, you will definitely be able to go one step further and break through to the peak of the half-step Yuan Infant Stage......

Well, the author of this "subway warlock" is quite imaginative...... Russell praised it in his heart, closed "Immortal Emperor Lin Daiyu", and picked up another gorgeously bound book-

Luo Qianqiu and the Elixir

The author's name is ordinary, called "Wang Xiaoming".

The book was thin, and it took Russell 10 minutes to quickly sweep it through.

After reading it, he felt that he had wasted 10 minutes of his life.

Judging from the character introduction, the protagonist is an alchemist named "Luo Qianqiu".

But the protagonist never appears from beginning to end.

At the beginning, Russell thought it was the protagonist's baby, but as soon as he was born by his parents, he mysteriously disappeared and disappeared.

After that, the whole text is boring like boiled water, full of a lot of irrelevant and messy plots, a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, as if there is no main line at all.

And then, inexplicably, the whole book is finished.

"This strange author published it at his own expense. There is a limit to self-esteem! Russell scolded.

"Did you come into contact with this book "Luo Qianqiu and the Elixir" before?" Through the contract, he asks for wind chimes in his heart.

"Probably...... No, I don't think this book is interesting, I shouldn't be interested. Maybe it's a similar name? Wind Chime's tone was not so sure.

Russell saw that he had nothing to gain, so he could only put two books back on the shelves.

……

Russell walked back to the area of the ancient texts referred to by the wooden puppet, rummaging through the documents he needed.

He found a few books about the Demon King, piled them up on the table, and began to study them.

Russell was not sure that all of the books were true, but even if they could only be used as references.

In addition to the literature related to the Demon King, he also found some occult books related to the principles of sympathetic witchcraft, and also piled them up in front of him, hoping to help with metaphysical gacha.

The time spent reading always passes quickly.

In the blink of an eye, hours slipped by.

Halfway through, Russell went out for dinner and returned to the library to continue his research on the Demon King and the problem of mobile game metaphysical card gacha.

As the night outside the window grew darker and darker, most of the students left the library one after another.

Later, Russell was the only one left in the entire library, and the wooden puppet who acted as a librarian and didn't have to sleep.

In a huge library, only one lamp illuminates a table, which stands out in the darkness like the only island that shines.

The night was silent, except for the wind and the chirping of cicadas.

"I see, because after the Demon King ascended the Abyss Throne, he disappeared not long after, and the legends about him are almost all compiled by later generations. Even demon worshippers like the Red Order of Chaos have a basic understanding of the Demon King limited to hearsay. ”

In one of the books, there is also a saying:

The Demon King is a mortal of the ancient era, who eventually degenerated into a demon because he succumbed to the pollution of lust and the abyss!

"Could the Demon King be converted from mortals? I wonder what his name would have been when he was still mortal? ”

When he thought of the dignified Demon King, when he was a human, his name might be the ordinary Xiao Ming Xiaogang and Tom Jack, Russell smiled a little in his heart.

Russell just read the book slowly, and the minutes and seconds passed.

I don't know how long it has been.

Boom, boom, boom.

Boom, boom, boom.

A dull, faint, thunderous sound broke the silence of the night.

It's rhythmic, like a regular drum beat.

This is similar to the sound of thunder is not loud, far less than the real thunder, even a second-year powerhouse like Russell, under the premise that his senses are many times more sensitive than ordinary people, can only immediately discover the existence of sound in the quiet environment of the library.

Where did this sound come from?

Russell's heart tightened.

The next moment, he suddenly remembered a certain college weird story he had seen.

"Top 10 Strange Stories on Campus, 25th, the terrifying thunder near the library at night."

That's one of the top 10 weird things he learned about when he approached Nocturne!

Professor Black Amber had told Russell that the strange story was utter nonsense, except that a boy was snoring too loudly while sleeping.

Really?

Russell closed his eyes and listened to the rhythmic sound.

Boom, boom, boom.

Boom, boom, boom.

He immediately made his judgment.

This is not a human purr!

It's about 200 meters away from the nearest dormitory, so who snores so loudly?

Since Russell discovered that the "mysteriously missing student" may be real, he has not really been exposed to any other strange stories, nor has he gathered any information related to the missing student "Duncan".

According to Russell's speculation, the cultists of the Chaos Red Sect such as Nocturne wanted to start the investigation from the strange talk on campus, and they should want to confirm the location of the Demon King's seal in the academy. It's a pity that the vast majority of weird talk is just nonsense that adds fuel to the vinegar and makes no sense at all.

But with tonight's encounter, Russell suspects that the strange tale of "the terrible thunder near the library at night" may also have something to do with some kind of real secret in the academy.

Russell closed his eyes and continued to listen to the shallow, dull sound of thunder.

"Strange? Why do I feel as if I've heard this sound somewhere? Or something like that? ”

When this intuition arose, Russell's confusion deepened and he planned to listen patiently for a while.

The night is silent again.

The rhythmic boom died away.

From beginning to end, this roar, which was close to thunder but much weaker, lasted less than 3 minutes.

"Could the appearance of this sound be random? It's just that I stayed late in the library tonight, and I have the abnormal physique of a 'man in the play', so I was very lucky to bump into it? ”

Russell diverged his thoughts and speculated.

He walked over to the wooden puppet at the door, the librarian:

"Did you hear a special boom just now? The sound was like thunder, but it was weak and had a certain sense of rhythm. ”

The wooden puppet shook his head: "No, my hearing is very average." If I have good hearing, I will find the library too noisy and I can't calm down while reading. ”

Are you really an administrator...... Russell didn't bother to complain, bowed his head slightly, and returned to his seat.

He wanted to wait a little longer to see if the boom would happen again.

A full hour passed, and the roar, which was almost like thunder, never reappeared.

In Russell's ears, there was only the evening breeze with songs and the sporadic chirping of cicadas.

"Forget it, let's go."

Russell packed his things and prepared to leave the library.

Suddenly, a new sound was heard outside the building.

Russell's ears pricked up suddenly.

The sound was like a rapid drum beat, like the roar of dozens or hundreds of men in military boots galloping towards the ground and stomping on the ground. There seems to be a hint in this sound of stepping on the ground, similar to the roar of a wild beast, the grinding of teeth, and the sizzling of mouthparts.

The sound grew louder and louder, and in less than a dozen seconds, it was amplified into a clearly audible roar of terror, and the deafening sound of a beast stepping on an earthquake.

Here they are!

"There are a lot of people — no, not necessarily people — running towards the library!" Russell exclaimed to the wooden golem.

……

Deep in the night.

Three figures wearing demon masks are suspended in the pitch-black sky. Each figure was dressed in a red robe, representing that they were the chief priests of the Red Order of Chaos.

"The Blood Sacrifice is complete, and the door has been opened...... It took a lot of effort to complete this blood ritual secretly. This large abyss summoning circle has finally been activated. ”

A red-robed man sighed, weakness in his voice. Obviously, completing the ritual and activating the magic circle consumed him a lot, and even lost a certain amount of lifespan.

Beneath another pitch-black demon mask, came the eerie laughter of a young woman:

"Oh, demons, the children of the abyss, where are they going?

"I'll see, it's the direction of the library......"

She looked through the mask and looked down—

In the academy of darkness, hundreds of demons of different shapes are running wildly or flying.

They have just descended into the material world through a large summoning circle, completely venting their instinctive desires and madness.

Among them, there was the goat-headed demon that Russell had once seen, with the hooves of the sheep trampling on the ground; Some of them look like giant flies, with blue bodies, flying in mid-air, making sizzling sounds that make humans dizzy when they hear them; Some resemble gorillas, with fists as large as human heads; Some are made of shadows, some have the hideous appearance of demons, and when they move, they are silent and silent, as if they are one with the night itself; Some have human form, but their arms are replaced by sharp blades, which glow with cold light in the middle of the silver moon; Some are more than 6 meters tall, and their whole bodies are on fire, like a blazing and crackling flame, and they hold a bright red flame whip in their hands......

They are like strange waves surging in the night, surging in one direction—

A quiet and independent library in the dark.

Because it's an important plot twist,
