Chapter 45: Vigilance

"Do you think this rope can bind me?"

The Demon King, who was tightly bound by the rope with runes, crooked his mouth and snorted coldly, and his toned and strong muscles swelled suddenly

In the next second, the Demon King's body turned into a black cloud and dispersed.

The rope covered with incantations fell to the ground with a thud.

"What's going on?" As soon as Russell asked, he felt his heart contract suddenly.

"The Demon King you saw just now is just a projection incarnation, but this projection has real combat power and can interact with the outside world." Duncan used his extrasensory perception, which was far superior to that of other transcendents, to automatically know the answer, and said, "The Demon King's body is still in your heart. ”

At this time, Russell also heard the majestic and solemn voice of the Demon King from the heart of his left chest:

"Boy, I'm in my heart right now. Because I've lived in your heart for so long, my body has partially fused with your heart, and I can't be separated for a while.

"Until I find a way to truly leave your heart, if I could figure it out, I'll use the same method as before, summoning a projection avatar and projecting it onto the outside world."

It's like the fire demon I encountered before is also a demonic projection from the abyss? Russell remembered the Flame Demon who had chased him before, and immediately understood this state.

Russell asked a series of questions at once:

"That's right, Demon King.

"Why the hell are you in my heart?

"Does my abnormal constitution have anything to do with you?

"Now that you've slept for so long, how much strength do you still have?

"What do you have to do with the Thorn Bird? There seems to be a contradiction between you.

"Is your name really Wang Xiaoming? Did you write the book "Luo Qianqiu and the Elixir"? ”

At present, this legendary demon king does not show a bit of imperial demeanor, but he shows good intentions, which is a bit similar to Duncan. This led Russell to believe that he might be patient enough to answer his questions.

"These things are a long story."

A grand and solemn sigh rang out from Russell's left chest.

Duncan beckoned to Russell:

"There are a lot of questions, let's go back to the academy first. When you return to the academy, you will slowly ask the Demon King under my surveillance. ”

Some of the teachers who accompanied him also learned from the conversation between Duncan and Russell -

Russell's heart is actually sealed with the legendary Demon King?

What legends from distant mythological times exist?

The King of the Abyss who made countless high-ranking demons and demon lords compete to submit?

In all kinds and dramas, such scenarios are very common -

The hero or brave has the most terrifying demon king sealed in his body. This sealed demon king is not only the great enemy that the hero will face in the future, but also a help in the journey.

It's just that this demon king doesn't seem to behave like the legend......

The fourth-year professor of the Department of Creation and Summoning flew into the middle of the crowd and whispered a mantra teleported by many people, and a gorgeous circle spread out from the soles of the professor's feet, enveloping them all.

In the brilliant flash, everyone vanished, leaving only the steaming scorched wasteland. An evening breeze blew and dispersed the boiling heat.

……

Upon returning to the Academy, Russell received magical healing and regrew his broken nails. Then he briefly told the principal and other teachers about what happened to him tonight.

The crowd also met with Professor Opal, who had returned to the academy safely. Professor Opal is all right, but because he fell into the trap of his real name set by the Thorn Bird before, he was implanted with a psychic seed, and he encountered mind control, and his spirit and spirit were slightly weakened.

After the inspection of Mr. Chancellor, Professor Opal's subconscious ocean, the seed of the mind implanted by the thorn bird has disappeared, and everything is fine.

Combined with the information provided by Russell and Opal Professors, the university was able to determine thatβ€”

The Thorn Bird is the culprit of this occult illness, suspected of murdering a suspected academy student Wind Chime, exerting mind domination on a college professor, and attempting to kidnap Russell, a genius student that the academy focuses on cultivating.

For these reasons, the Academy has temporarily removed all sculptures and portraits of the Thorn Bird from the campus, and has internally listed it as an enemy of the House that must be guarded against.

After a brief discussion, Duncan urgently used the principal's authority to convene an emergency meeting and declare the college on alert.

The Academy's protective barrier is fully activated.

The High School and the Elementary Academy, respectively, held up a shimmering translucent hemispherical shield to protect the Academy from teleportation, detection, remote sensing, mind manipulation, dreaming, curses, and other occult forms of intrusion from the outside world.

All students are required to go through a special screening procedure in order to enter and exit the college.

The enchanted large detection instrument was also moved out to retrieve the dense forest environment surrounding the Academy.

At least for some time to come, the Thorn Bird should not dare to set foot near the Academy.

Russell knows that this is the real world, not the Xianxia world that crushes people at the first level. Even if the legend of the fifth grade exists, it is still not invincible.

Their abilities may be strange enough to far exceed common sense, but if they are in a head-on battle, they may not be able to easily win against a large group of teachers with third- and fourth-grade strength and Tianjiao of the Higher Academy.

In particular, those strong students in the third and fourth grades, if they can cooperate with each other, match each other, make up for each other's weaknesses, and form a team with tacit cooperation and complementary advantages, their strength will be even more terrifying. For the existence of fifth-grade legends, it must also be a tricky big threat, which can only be countered through split-click breaking, guerrilla tactics, etc.

Russell watched the whole decision-making process.

From the conversations of the teachers, he learned that the academy entered a state of alert, not all because of the thorn bird senior.

Prophetic divination and other information suggest that cultists who believe in the Old Dominator may have infiltrated the Academy.

It is not known whether the motives of these cultists were related to the plan of the Thorn Bird.

"Wait a minute, are you sure there's a cultist infiltrating the academy?"

After the emergency meeting, Russell asked in a whisper, "It feels like the same routine is repeated for two years in a row, which is really unlikely." ”

"There is also the possibility that information and prophecy can be wrong." At the conference table, Professor Black Amber wagged his tail, "But we also have to be vigilant. ”

"But there's only one former Dominator in our academy, uh, maybe more than one. Do you need to get Clara's classmates to come forward and negotiate with that group of cultists? Russell made full use of his brain circuitry and came up with an interesting solution.

Professor Black Amber shook his head, the bell on his neck tinkling:

"Not for now.

"We don't have any tangible evidence that the cultists actually infiltrated the academy, and we haven't locked down any suspects."
