Chapter 159: The Demon in the Heart (Literally)
Martha hesitated, but still asked:
"Excuse me, are you the Demon King?"
"No, it's not." The boy replied as a matter of course.
"Huh?" Martha and the two red-robed priests spoke in unison.
"And who are you?"
Russell, Subway, the old man, and Nocturne on the ground, who poked his head out of the dimensional pocket again, also saw this scene.
"Who is this?" Russell looked dazed.
"Who is this?" Subway looked dazed.
"Woo-woo?" Nocturne looked dazed.
"Duncan!" The old man recognized the genius friend who had disappeared back then, and the old man burst into tears and shouted, and his pale hair faintly added a little more brilliance.
"Mr. Headmaster!" Mr. Dragon, the Sphinx, and the Sixty-Six Snake finally broke free, and all 68 heads shouted together.
Duncan, the boy who had changed into a gorgeous tuxedo, flew out of the sealing ring, ignoring the three cultists with a blank face, and saw the familiar old man at a glance:
"Old man! You're still in the academy, huh? ”
Duncan flew to the old man's side and hugged the old man:
"I didn't expect it, old man, you are really an old man now."
"But she didn't get bigger at all." The old man wondered.
Duncan also noticed the bronze badge on the old man's chest, and the star pattern on it:
"Old man, you're actually in the second grade?"
"yes, yes. This life has finally come true. The old man's smile was a little more vicissitudes.
On one side is a gray-haired old man, and on the other side is a vigorous young man, but it seems to be a reunion after a long absence, which makes people feel a lot of emotion.
"Hello, Duncan, uh, Mr. Headmaster......" Russell waved his hand at Duncan, recalling what the three monsters had called Duncan:
"I'm Russell, and next to me is my roommate, Subway. The strange whispers I heard at the Sorting Ceremony were whispered to me by manipulating the Sorting Hammer. Well, and that strange letter. ”
He remembered the sound of that time, and it was exactly the same as Duncan's voice now!
Duncan turned around and shook Russell's hand excitedly:
"Hello, you are the protagonist of the prophecy I made, Russell, I finally met you. I knew you'd come and let me out! ”
Subway and Nocturne felt that this matter was becoming more and more difficult to understand, and the four eyes were full of confusion, and they leaned over and asked suspiciously:
"Are you really the headmaster?"
"Woo woo woo?"
Russell recalled the college's description of the president and asked:
"I've heard that you're exploring the Alternate Plane and haven't come back. Only by extraordinary means can the voice be transmitted to the office, direct the teachers and students, and lead the operation of the school. ”
Duncan sighed: "It's so claimed to the outside, it would be a shame for people to know that the head of the International Academy of Legality and Occultity was imprisoned and placed under house arrest by his own teacher." ”
The old man became more and more confused:
"So, Duncan, why did you go from student to principal? And why was it sealed? ”
"It's a long story, and it's not easy to explain. To put it simply, I'm the headmaster, and I've used some kind of secret technique to rejuvenate myself......" Duncan said again halfway, as if he had touched on something embarrassing.
The Sphinx added later:
"At that time, in order to pretend to be forced, Mr. Principal enrolled as a student after rejuvenation, pretending to be a super genius that had not been seen in 10,000 years, and mixed in with the first-year students to find a sense of superiority.
"This kind of bad behavior has seriously hit the enthusiasm of many truly gifted students!"
Ahem, ahem. Duncan coughed twice.
Russell, Subway, the old man, and Nocturne, who poked his head out of his pocket, looked at Duncan's expression and looked at him differently.
"So that's what happened. Mmmm, so that all the clues are connected......" Russell nodded thoughtfully, re-sorting out the logical relationship of each thing.
"Duncan, you are actually this kind of person......" The old man looked at his former friend, and his cloudy old eyes revealed disdain.
"Can you still play like this? The world's top spellcaster is disguised as a first-year student, and it's cool to think about it, Mr. Principal, you are really my idol! Subway's eyes lit up, showing a good character to learn from his predecessors.
"Woo woo!" Nocturne had no love on her face, only to find out at the end that all the plans of the entire Chaos Red Order had been a joke from the beginning.
The Sphinx ignored Duncan's coughing cues and continued:
"Mr. Principal did more than that. There were a series of other operations that turned the academy upside down and provoked public outrage. ”
"That was before, before, after coming out of the seal this time, I will definitely restrain myself!" Duncan hurriedly defended himself.
Later, many teachers and students joined forces and stuffed the principal into a seal. Externally, he was exploring other dimensional spaces. ”
"Did dozens of teachers or students from colleges and universities do it together, or did it sneak attack! Otherwise, who can help me? Duncan added details on the side.
Duncan certainly isn't Mr. Headmaster's real name, but in the occult world where no one is willing to reveal his real name, his real name isn't that important.
Russell saw that the cause and effect were almost explained, and came over and interrupted:
"Mr. Headmaster, you are so powerful, can you help catch those three cultists of the Chaos Red Order?"
As he spoke, Russell pointed to the staircase, where Martha, Blackstar, and Blood Moon were just about to slip away.
The three of them turned around suddenly, facing Russell with a look of hatred!
Russell helplessly spread his hands and put on an innocent appearance:
"As I said a long time ago, in the sealing circle on that stone wall, it was not the Demon King who was sealed. But you don't believe it, what can I do? ”
Martha was furious, but felt unable to refute it.
Her eyes full of anger looked at her daughter who was taken hostage, and asked sharply:
"Where the hell is the Demon King's seal?"
Russell was unhurried and took out an examination report from the school hospital from his dimensional pocket.
— That's the report of his heart exam in June, which includes pictures of his heart taken in June.
"The patient's right ventricle has obvious traces of demonic presence, and the preliminary diagnosis is that of a sleeping demon. The entity's energy level detection value far exceeds the warning value, and it is presumed to be a demon of lord rank or above. ”
Of course, ordinary cardiac examination methods cannot find the demon in Russell's heart, but the school hospital is quite experienced in this area, and combines a large number of supernatural witchcraft methods, such as taking pictures on the altar, dancing gods while taking X-rays, and so on.
After reading the diagnosis, Russell explained:
"Although I don't know how it came about, whether it has anything to do with my abnormal constitution and mental resistance far beyond others, the Demon King does sleep in my heart.
"The prophecy says, 'Russell will eventually awaken the demons in his heart.'" So I'll find a time to wake up the Demon King.
"The prophetic divination results of your Order guide you to the Academy to find the traces of the Demon King. That's essentially right – because I'm going to come to the academy. In other words, the Demon King was indeed sealed inside the Academy.
"In late May, when a large number of Abyssal Demons descended on the Academy, they collectively ran towards the library. Not because the Demon King was sealed under the Library, but because I happened to be in the Library at the time.
"I was hunted down by a fire demon that day, and I was puzzled as to why this guy had been following me. Now that I think about it, it may be because it has the highest rank and the sharpest perception among these demons, and it is directly aimed at me.
"At that time, combined with the second sentence of the prophecy, I vaguely guessed that the Demon King was actually sealed in my heart. Soon after I woke up in the school hospital, I had a comprehensive heart examination that confirmed this suspicion! ”
Hearing Russell's explanation, Martha, Black Star, Red Moon, and Nocturne were like lightning strikes, as if their worldview had collapsed.
It turned out that from the mysterious disappearance of the academy students, to the seal under the library of the primary college, to the night when the abyssal demons were raging after the blood sacrifice ceremony, everything was a shocking oolong!
Martha angrily scolded Russell: "Then why didn't you just say it directly? ”
"If I had said it earlier, what would you have done if you wanted to dig out my heart and lungs and strip my heart apart? That's why I said I wanted to sit down and have a good talk. Russell responded in a tone of course.
"Now that I've said what I'm going to say, I'll arrest the three of them." Duncan, dressed in fancy clothes and looking like a boy, stretched his waist and walked towards Martha and the others.
"It's been a long time since I've exercised, so I need to exercise well."
