Chapter 150 148. The conspiracy within the game

The stars shine in the velvet night sky, and the songs in the evening breeze are in my ears, adding a bit of coolness to the sultry summer.

Subway was covered in the evening breeze and asked the old man next to him:

"Old man, you are now a second-year student in the Department of Astrology and Numerology. Congratulations! Have you applied in advance to absorb the knowledge scroll before the start of school?"

This kind of application is very common. Most students who are eligible to advance to the second grade are considered elites in the extraordinary world. They prefer to master the extraordinary abilities of the second grade during the holidays without waiting for the official start of school.

"Yes." The old man riding on the ghost's back replied.

The night wind blew the old man's hood and the silver-white hair under the hood.

"It seems that you are also an elite in the early second grade." Subway gave a thumbs up, "Can you tell me what your abilities are?"

The old man nodded and introduced:

“The core course for the first-year major in the Department of Astrology and Numerology is ‘Prediction’, which includes a variety of simple but low-accuracy witchcraft prediction methods, such as various divination methods, such as statistics.

"We can also turn on spiritual vision, see spiritual bodies, and choose to learn several detection and detection spells based on our interests."

The old man paused and continued:

“And the second-year professional core course is called ‘astrology’, or ‘astrology’ or ‘stargazing theory’.

"This core course allows us to understand the mechanism of constellations, analyze the stars, predict the future, understand the present, and review the past. In addition, the relevant knowledge also involves several star-related spells, which can be used to attack, defend and influence destiny. It makes up for the shortcomings of first-year students in the same major who are not good at fighting."

"Isn't astrology a type of prediction?" Russell questioned.

"Forecasting in the first grade is actually basic forecasting. It involves knowledge of astrology and extraordinary abilities. It only stays at a very superficial level and has almost no practical value." The old man spoke slowly, but very methodically.

Subway was stunned for a while, but he was quite interested:

"Can you show us your astrological abilities?"

He has yet to see the abilities of the second-year students from the Department of Astrology and Numerology.

"No problem." The old man looked at the serious Russell, "What's your zodiac sign?"

"Uh, it seems to be Aquarius."

The old man looked at Subway again: "What about you? What's your zodiac sign?"

Subway was stunned: "Virgo."

ah? Is this astrology that understands how constellations work?

"Hey, Russell, Subway. Where are you going?"

Before the old man could make an analysis based on their zodiac signs, they heard a clear female voice coming from the side at the same time.

It's Clara!

Clara walked quickly behind them with her short tentacles, and followed them very reluctantly.

"We are going to the library to discover a shocking secret. You can come with us if you want." Subway stopped the ghost mount and responded to his old friend with a smile.

"Okay, can I go and see it too?" Clara was half shy and half excited after hearing Subway's words.

"If you want to come, I will get another ghost mount." Russell raised his hand, thinking about what kind of creature the tentacle monster should ride.

The four of them headed toward the southwest of the college.

Soon after, they saw the distance in the night.

The junior high school library, shaped like stacked books and obviously more beautiful after reconstruction, has appeared in their sights!

…

In front of the junior high school library, six new guests arrived.

Arctic Wolf, the boss of the White Wolf Club, came here with his younger brother Shiro, three White Wolf Club officials, and Nanami, a girl from the Civil Engineering Department who is familiar with the structure of the library.

It was now close to midnight, and the library was technically closed. It was empty and the students had all left.

But after the Arctic Wolf and six other people arrived, the wooden puppet as the librarian didn't dare to stop them and let them in directly.

After sending the six people into the library, the wooden puppets blew in the evening breeze and looked at the night sky with shining stars in the east.

…

To the east of the library, in the southeastern area of ​​the college, in the night sky where the evening wind roars.

"Assembly complete!"

11 extraordinary people representing the school were floating in the air, their clothes swaying in the evening breeze.

Their leader is Professor Opal, who has the strength of a fourth grader. He is still wearing a leather jacket that looks like casual wear, with a smile on his face, but his eyes are a little more solemn than before.

The others were both male and female, including 6 teachers with third-grade abilities, and 4 students who came from the Institute of Higher Education to provide emergency support - they also had third-grade abilities.

In the era of cold weapons, a combination of strong men at this level could completely conquer a small or medium-sized country by force. Not to mention using tactics and weird magic to infiltrate.

"The goal of our operation is to go to the dense forest area southeast of the Junior Academy to rescue Ms. Black Amber based on the detection results of the astrological station!

"We may fight with cultists, please be mentally prepared!"

The extraordinary beings nodded slightly and flew rapidly towards the southeast.

The 11 people were like 11 meteors flying backwards, protruding one trailing light path after another in the night sky.

…

In the night sky to the east of the college, I saw the trails of light left by the school's extraordinary beings one after another when they flew, and watched the meteors disappear into the endless night outside the college.

In the middle of the junior high school, among the quiet woods, a voice said:

"As expected, the school sent people to the dense forest in the southeast to rescue Black Amber."

For the junior college, which is in the middle of a holiday and a large number of students and teachers are away, now is the weakest time!

"Nothing can stop us anymore." The next voice came, Martha's sharp chuckle.

"Let's get started, tonight!"

Most of the information on the Book of Shadows revealed to Russell was true in order to gain Russell's trust. But the time of the final action was false.

The leader of the Chaos Red Order and the three red-robed demon priests will enter the library tonight, not 20 days later, to lift the Demon King's seal!

This is a strategy that Nocturne and her mother discussed together.

From beginning to end, the Satanists still could not 100% trust Russell, who had just joined the order, so they deliberately revealed a wrong time of action at the end.

If Russell really has a problem and actively or passively exposes the information to the school, this will be an excellent smoke bomb to mislead the school.

And if Russell really has no problem and wants to become a Satanist from the bottom of his heart, then this move is not considered cheating - Nocturne can make an excuse and say that it was a temporary change after seeing a large number of extraordinary people leaving the school. The time for action was determined and was changed to tonight. There was no time to notify Russell.

A possible small risk is that if Russell really has a problem, and the school originally did not take precautions against the seal in the underground area of ​​the library, and the school learns through Russell that the cultists' target is the library, there is a certain probability that it will be immediately Increase your defenses, set up traps, and wait for the demon cultists to attack.

However, Martha and Nocturne believed that since the school knew that the Demon King was sealed beneath the library, they must have known that the Demon Cultists were targeting the library that night when countless demons poured into the library. The school authorities may have already taken precautions and laid traps in the library.

In this case, the original risk can be ignored. On the contrary, by revealing a wrong time of action and attracting part of the combat power through Professor Black Amber, the school will relax its defense against the library tonight.

Most importantly, Nocturne deliberately revealed the possibility in the Book of Shadows that the academy maintains the Demon King's seal by regularly sacrificing students.

Even if Russell had a slight possibility of leaking secrets to the school at first, after learning about the darkness behind the academy, he might betray the hypocritical academy and truly join the Red Order of Chaos.

No matter what, the benefits of this strategy outweigh the risks!

Martha and the three red-robed demon priests approached the direction of the library at an unimaginable speed.

They "jumped and teleported" between shadows one after another. After teleporting several times in succession, they arrived at the forest outside the library.
