Russell hurried to read the extra information on the pages of the Book of Shadows.

"I'm Nocturne, and I'm editing the following with a few other core members of the Order.

"Russell, congratulations on joining us.

"We will tell you all about the Order's plans within the Academy, and we hope that you will cooperate with us when the time comes.

"All of the following, please keep it absolutely confidential!"

Russell looked solemn and read it word by word.

All the broken beads were connected between the crimson letters.

"For many years, the Order has been searching for the whereabouts of the Demon King through the Scriptures and frequent prophetic horoscopes.

"Through calculations, we have vaguely locked on the coordinates of the Demon King, or at least the coordinates that may appear in the future - the world's largest, possibly and only transcendent academy, the International Academy of Unified Law and Occultism!

"We suspect that the Demon King, who disappeared in ancient times, is sealed in the academy.

"From that moment on, we began the initial operation, conducting an investigation and covert infiltration of the Academy.

"Last June, when the constellations were in the right place, the Red Prophets of Chaos observed the changes in the stars and made a prophecy.

The prophecy contains three sentences - the child of prophecy will eventually defeat the devil, and the child of prophecy will eventually awaken the demon in his heart. The last prophecy, we will find a suitable time to tell you.

"Unfortunately, the Order's prophetic power is limited and unable to see through the fog of fate and decipher the name of the Prophecy Child. We didn't know it at that time, but you were the child of prophecy.

"If the Demon King were indeed sealed in the Academy, the Academy's mysterious 'Mr. Headmaster', the self-proclaimed prophet of the greatest transcendent beings of the 21st century, would surely be concerned about this astrological change.

"Unlike the Order, which is not known for its prophetic divination, the headmaster of the academy was the only fifth-year student in the Department of Astrology and Numerology before he graduated, and he was sure to be able to get a glimpse of the nature of fate and determine the name and identity of the child of prophecy.

"We infer the following—

"The Academy will certainly not sit idly by and ignore the existence of the Child of Prophecy. A hero who is destined to defeat the Demon King, at least the hole cards used to fight the Demon King after the seal is unexpectedly lifted.

This means that this child of prophecy is very likely to join the academy as a freshman!

"And because the appearance of a son of prophecy who is destined to defeat the Demon King is in itself an important message - the seal that imprisons the Demon King is about to be broken!

"This means that the Order's plan to find and unseal the Demon King may come to fruition in the near future.

Based on this, the Order has accelerated its operation, and the plan has officially begun!

"I (Nocturne) and many members of the Order hid our strength, took the entrance exam for the academy, and became a freshman this year. In addition to this, when we infiltrated the academy before, there were other orders that had infiltrated the academy as students.

"A surprise is that in the dream test of the entrance exam, the three monsters of the dragon, the hydra, and the sphinx, are all real and raised by the academy.

"After post-mortem investigation, we determined that the three monsters had mentioned in the dreams of a few freshmen that they were in reality and were responsible for guarding a secret seal in the academy. It can be speculated that the seal that needs to be guarded by three powerful monsters is the seal of the Demon King nine times out of ten.

"As long as you can start from this clue, you will be able to know the specific location of the Demon King's seal in the academy.

"In addition, we have also collected the following multiple pieces of evidence in a row, and further determined that the Demon King was sealed in the academy-

"First of all, I know from you that you were smashed in the back of your head by the Sorting Hammer during the Sorting Ceremony, and suddenly a special voice appeared trying to tempt you.

"No doubt you heard the Demon King's whispers!

"Like all demons who are good at demagoguery, he tries to bewitch you, break the seal, and release him. It's just blocked by the seal of the academy, and it can't pass on the complete location information.

"Secondly, you should recall that at the beginning of the school year, I seemed to be very interested in the strange talk of the college. At this time, the Order is analyzing the strange stories in the history of the Academy, trying to find clues related to the Demon King.

"Even if he is in the seal, the Demon King has the ability to leak a trace of power, affect and interfere with reality, and create anomalies. Any strange talk that seems to be nonsense may be proof of the existence of the Demon King, and it is the deepest secret of the seal of the associated academy.

"Russell, it's you, it's you, and it's you, provides useful clues.

"Historically, the mysterious disappearance of Duncan—and possibly other students—is the best proof of the existence of the Seal.

"You may not know it, but the maintenance of certain seals depends on the continuous supply of sacrifices.

"We can imagine that it is the sanctimonious members of the academy who sacrifice students year after year, and then erase the memories of others, so as to ensure that the Demon King will not break the seal for many years.

But this trick of deleting memories occasionally has omissions, and the old man still retains the memory of Duncan, which is the best proof of this.

"I even suspect that the construction of such an academy here back then was part of the seal, just to seal the Demon King for a long time, and use the blood and death of one boy and girl transcendent person after another to prevent the king from coming to the world!"

Subway didn't know when, but he had already leaned behind Russell, poked his head out, and looked at the top-secret information in the shadow book with him.

And Russell was unmoved.

"Wait, the academy sacrificed blood to young girls again and again to maintain the seal of the Demon King? That's not true, is it? After reading the latest paragraph, Subway exclaimed.

"Don't believe it yet." Russell didn't bother to talk to him, and at the same time lectured, "This is top-secret information that must not be known to outsiders, you should pretend not to see it." ”

The two have been together for so long, and Subway has long vaguely speculated from some trivial places that Russell may be on an undercover cult mission - of course, it may also be that he really joined the cult, but what does that have to do with him Subway?

Subway hurriedly listened to Russell, covering his eyes with his hands and watching through his fingers instead.

Brush.

Russell picked up the paper, flipped a page, and read on.

"In addition to you, Russell, a number of students approached by the Order have provided different clues related to the House's weird stories, some of which may be valuable, and some of which are indeed nonsense.

"Another strange story that we have determined to be worthwhile afterwards is 'the thunder of the night,' which we will talk about later.

"Going back to the previous clue - after our people came into contact with a number of new students, it was determined that the three monsters in the dream were tight-lipped and did not reveal the location of the seal.

"The clue of the monster in the dream, temporarily broken.

"But the Order's knowledge of high-end demonology has given us another way to locate the seal.

"Historically, if the demons who once bowed down to the Demon King gathered together in large numbers, they would trigger an instinctive 'convergence' because of the nature of the demons who revered the strong and worshiped the king.

"When this supernatural effect is activated, as long as the Demon King is nearby, they will naturally sense it and involuntarily move in the direction of the Demon King!

"As long as you can summon a large number of demons to the academy, the direction they go is where the Demon King is!

"In order to activate the large summoning circle and determine the location of the Demon King, the Order began its first attempt.

"We set up a summoning circle at the leyline node in the abandoned equipment room of the gymnasium, and activated the circle by slowly absorbing the power of the leyline.

"In order to cover up the anomaly induced by the operation of the circle, I teamed up with two other black-robed cults to perform the 'Awakening of the Necromancy' ritual, which turned a high-quality chaotic ghost into an undead creature in the vicinity. Trying to attract the attention of students and the school under the guise that the tower is haunted.

"Unfortunately, the plan was unexpectedly exposed to bankruptcy.

"The first plan failed, and we switched to the Blood Ritual instead of draining the leylines.

"Luckily, in the academy's cafeteria, there is a troll in captivity, a monster with endless regenerative abilities to provide a constant supply of meat. The mother-in-law, who was undercover in the academy's cafeteria, quietly took more than a dozen buckets of troll's blood to meet the needs of the blood sacrifice ceremony.

"At the end of May, the Order knocked on the door to the Abyss with blood, completing a large Abyss Summoning Ritual and summoning a large number of demons to the Academy.

"It was a night to celebrate, and hundreds of demons immediately triggered an instinctive convergence after their arrival, and rushed to one place at the same time—the Academy Library!

"The Demon King is sealed in the location of the academy library!"

Russell bowed his head slightly, sorted out the logic of the Chaos Red Order's actions, and muttered to himself silently:

It turns out that this is the case, which is somewhat similar to what I guessed, and this special perception should be a fairly advanced knowledge of demons that the academy does not know.

No wonder the demons gather en masse in the direction of the library!

Russell recalls that crazy night—countless demons running in the night, their feet shaking the earth, roaring and roaring as if to tear the stars apart.

It was the former courtiers and defeated generals, called by the voice of the blood, to worship their king!

Brush.

Russell turned another page of the Book of Shadows and continued watching.

"If you remember one of the top 10 house tales you've read, you'll know that one of them is 'the thunder of the night,' which appears near the library.

"I specifically asked the teachers, and they said that it was just a student snoring too loudly.

"They were smart and told half the truth.

However, the Order combined multiple clues to deduce that it was indeed the sound of snoring. But not from students.

"The strange sound came from the dragon, the dragon underground.

"You should remember the last conclusion - the seal of the Demon King is guarded by three monsters, one of which is a dragon! This is the last strong piece of evidence.

"Yes, the Demon King's seal is in the underground area below the library!"

When Russell saw this, he was stunned and suddenly realized:

That's right.

When I heard the rhythmic muffled sound of thunder and drums in the library, it was no wonder that the sound was so familiar.

This is Mr. Dragon's voice.

Mr. Dragon, who discussed investment and asset preservation with me in my entrance exam dream!

Russell read with excitement.

"In the library, there must be a secret passage that leads to the sealed place!

"On August 26, about 20 days later, before the official start of school and the return of a large number of teachers and students, it was the weakest time for the college.

"On that day, the Order will go into action, infiltrate the library, find the secret passage, and enter the underground area of the library in the southwest corner of the elementary school. The Mother will lift the seal and bring the Demon King back to the world!

"Then join us, Russell, son of the devil! This will be the most glorious moment of any Chaos Red cultist's life! ”

That's the end of the Book of Shadows.

Syllable.

Russell closes the book of shadows with a black cover.

At this point, everything is clear.

However, Russell knew that even if these cultists were to take each step and plan to link one link after another, even if all their reasoning seemed logical and pointed to the ultimate goal......

But they were wrong.

And Russell also knew very well what the demon cultists were doing wrong.

The boy took off his shoes and socks, climbed into bed barefoot, plugged in earplugs, and prepared for bed.

Seeing this, Subway lowered his hands covering his eyes and asked suspiciously:

"It's only 11:08 p.m., are you going to bed too early?"

"I have something to talk to Professor Opal." Russell, who could obviously continue to hear the sound after putting on the earbuds, replied as he swallowed the sleeping pill he had refined.

It didn't take him long to fall asleep.

Herbology is all about convenience.

Russell was going to find Professor Opal in his dream and ask him if there really was a sealing circle guarded by three monsters under the library!

Russell and Professor Opal had an agreement.

Every night, Opal would use the Dream Technique to exchange information with him.

In addition, as long as Russell is asleep in the dormitory, Opal can also sense it through some kind of transcendent means that Russell does not understand.

If Russell goes to bed early, it means there is important news to report! Opal will immediately enter his dreams.

- Of course, this could also be because Russell was really sleepy today. There's not much to say about this.

In the dream, Professor Opal's figure in a leather jacket and jeans reappeared.

"Professor, there's important information!"

Russell gently raised his right hand, palm facing up, and relied on his imagination in the dream to recreate the appearance of the Book of Shadows.

"The cultists have set their sights on the Southwest Library in the Elementary Academy. The 26th will act. ”
