Chapter 114 112. The cultists’ blood sacrifice plan

Vermouth went on to explain:

"These three monsters have all entered the dreams of candidates and acted as examiners in this year's admissions examination.

“We started from this direction before, trying to contact as many candidates this year as possible to get information about the three monsters from them, especially the specific location of the seals they guard.

"Unfortunately, no valuable information has been obtained yet."

It’s connected, it’s connected, it’s connected with the previous plot! Russell's heart moved, and his thoughts were tumbling.

So they will develop freshmen as downline because the candidates who have taken the current admissions exam happen to be this year's freshmen?

Just as Russell made some speculation, he heard Vermouth laugh again:

"But the clues in this regard are no longer important. We learned more critical information from other channels - among the freshmen of the academy this year, there is likely to be one person who is the prophesied hero destined to defeat the Demon King."

Mentioned me? Russell looked solemn and continued to listen patiently.

"So we cultists, who have developed freshmen as downlines, want to find out this prophesied hero and kill him?" Feng Ling thought about it from the perspective of the cultist and asked a question.

Vermouth's smile became even stronger, and he stretched out an index finger and waved it - not caring that no one could see his movements clearly in the dark:

"No, no, no, this son of prophecy may not be our enemy."

Vermouth's tone suddenly became fanatical:

"The second sentence of the prophecy is, 'So-and-so will eventually awaken the devil in his heart.'"

"Who is so-and-so?" a cultist raised his hand and asked.

"I don't know. Fill in the name of the son of prophecy here." Vermouth said.

Russell knew that he should write "Russell" here.

Vermouth concluded:

“All in all, judging from this description of the prophecy, this son of the prophecy is likely to eventually become our ally of Chaos Red.

"Our goal is to find the Son of Prophecy among the new students and win him over in advance. When the cult truly breaks the seal and releases the Demon King, the Son of Prophecy will also be on our side.

“We can even design a game that allows the son of the prophecy to defeat the Demon King without actually harming the Demon King, thus fulfilling the prophecy literally.

"Do you remember it?"

"Remember." The five people agreed.

Russell wanted to point out loudly that prophecies are meant to be misinterpreted in almost all kinds of stories, but ultimately refrained from doing so.

It turns out that this is the real purpose of the devil worshipers of Chaos Red who work hard to develop students as their downline. Russell finally understood.

He began to think seriously about whether he should summon a demon, knock it out, implant it in the left ventricle, and then wake it up to fulfill the prophecy in advance.

It feels so troublesome, and I don’t know if it counts...

Russell commanded the wind chime remotely and asked her to guide the topic of the secret meeting to see if she could find out any useful information.

The wind chime said angrily:

"Alas, our summoning circle was discovered last time. I don't know which unscrupulous student maliciously spread rumors that there are ferocious ghosts in the gymnasium equipment room, attracting a bunch of troublesome students to explore. What if If I could try again, I would definitely not be so unlucky.”

Russell deliberately directed the wind chime to bring the topic to the summoning circle. He wanted to see if the cultists who purchased the purifying extract of the advanced shadow planned to set up a second summoning circle.

When it comes to this matter, the cultists are all very angry.

"Looking at the briefing on the official website, the people who discovered the large summoning circle were two students who came to explore after hearing rumors about the ghosts. Why are these students so troubled?"

"It's really a waste of efforts by Lord Nocturne and the others. I originally thought that summoning a female ghost in the abandoned tower would attract the attention of the students."

"Uh, what's the name of that female ghost? I forgot. I don't care."

Everyone cursed for a long time, and the topic turned into accusing the female ghost of being incompetent and failing to attract the attention of the troublesome students.

Feng Chime had a gloomy look on his face and did not participate in the discussion.

"As representatives of the devil walking the earth, there is no need for us to dwell on the failures of the past."

Before the wind chime erupted completely, Vermouth ended the topic:

"The risk of the last plan was indeed too great. It was necessary to place a large abyss summoning array at a specific leyline node and continue to operate for two or three months in order to absorb enough leyline energy. This process would also cause nearby formations to appear. The probability of being discovered among all kinds of anomalies is really high.

“But this time, we will definitely not fail.

"The improved large-scale abyss summoning array no longer needs to spend several months to absorb the energy of the earth's veins. Instead, it uses a grand blood sacrifice to activate the array.

"When the preparations are completed, we will set up the summoning circle in the academy, and then immediately perform a blood sacrifice. This will open the door to the abyss and summon a large number of demons to descend on the academy!"

Blood sacrifice?

Russell was suddenly frightened.

Sure enough, as Duncan said, if he actively participates in the mission, he will obtain key intelligence!

But...the cultists actually plan to perform a blood sacrifice in the academy?

Wouldn't it be more conspicuous and easier to spot?

Or maybe this blood sacrifice was different from what he thought.

Just as Russell had an idea, a black-robed cultist asked on his behalf:

"Excuse me, can the magic circle be activated by blood sacrifice of ten thousand ants?"

"cannot."

"What about twenty thousand?"

Vermouth didn't think there was anything funny about this question and answered patiently:

"Animals cannot be used in blood sacrifices at this level. Only the sacrifice of intelligent creatures is beneficial to the ceremony."

Only the death of intelligent creatures can open the door to the abyss!

Vermouth immediately chuckled again and said:

"With our undercover agents among the faculty and staff, this blood sacrifice is secret enough that no one from the school will discover it."

Other cultists also showed confidence and calmness.

…

The midday sun shines on the teaching building.

Professor Black Amber's private office.

"What, blood sacrifice?

"The demon believers of Chaos Red are going to perform a blood sacrifice in the academy?

"They are so crazy that they dare to perform blood sacrifices in the academy without worrying about being discovered?"

On the desk, Black Amber faced the ghost who came to report the information, and almost suspected that she had heard wrong.

"That's it. I sneaked into the gathering of demon cultists and heard it with my own ears. It's absolutely true!" In front of him, the soul that was exactly the same as the wind chime said with confidence.

Professor Black Amber was silent for a while and said slowly:

"Okay, I will continue to follow up and investigate this matter. I will never let this kind of cruel cult behavior appear in the academy!"

"By the way, there's one more thing," the ghost that looked like a wind chime added:

"The reason why the demon believers of Chaos Red lurk in the academy seems to be that they believe that the demon king is sealed in the academy and want to release him."

"Well...they must have made a mistake. Isn't the Demon King sealed in our academy?"
