Chapter 104 Dark Demon Peeping at the Order
***Edited by Kronost***
After thinking for a while, Dark gave DemiDevimon an eye signal, then located the entrance of the secret passage and injected magic energy into it.
As the wall rippled like water, DemiDevimon plunged its head in first.
After a few seconds, it poked its head out of the wall again: "Safe!"
Dark immediately got in.
The torches on both sides of the secret passage have already been lit. In fact, this thing could easily lead to the exposure of his location.
But currently he had no other solutions.
He glanced at the ground and found that there were still traces of water in this secret passage, and it was obvious that someone had just entered from here not long ago.
Following all the way along the water trail, Dark finally found that the water trail suddenly disappeared at a fork in the road.
But after arriving here, Dark was almost certain that the other party's destination should be that temple!
Speeding up along the route to the temple, Dark quickly came to the place where he and White had fought before, and when he made another turn, he found the road leading to the temple; it was brightly lit.
A few bats flew out of nowhere and followed the flames to fly into the temple. Some noises could be faintly heard.
"It seems to be some kind of gathering?" Dark observed a little, and chose to take a detour.
Finally, a few minutes later, he got close to the temple.
Since it was not certain whether someone was hiding outside or not, Dark did not get too close. He just stopped at a corner that was more than ten metres away from the temple and watched from afar.
Poking his head out a little bit from the corner, he could already see the crowds in the temple.
"Is that the seafood Order?" Dark wondered, realising that White was probably brought here by someone of this cult.
Although he didn’t know anything about the cult, it was easy to imagine what people in this cult were doing.
"Worship, sacrifice, or something else?"
...
"Roar--"
Suddenly, a beast roar that seemed to penetrate the entire castle burst out from directly above.
Dark was caught off guard. He quickly covered his ears and walked back.
Immediately afterwards, an equally penetrating dragon's roar rang throughout the night sky, causing the students in the castle to be shocked one after another.
Dark didn't know what was going on for a while. Some people in the temple were also frightened; a few even rushed out quickly, but moved back very soon.
The roar was suddenly cut off, and the surroundings became deadly silent.
Dark leaned against the wall, and held his breath, finally regaining his calm after a moment.
Then he quickly realised that outside the temple, there was nowhere he could hide.
As for the beast roar from above, it is most likely that the final boss on the ninth floor of the castle was summoned by someone.
Every Halloween, there is this fixed program.
So it is not that surprising.
...
Dark sent DemiDevimon to explore the way, and after confirming that no one was hiding outside, he pressed against the wall and cautiously lurked the door of the temple.
At this point, the voice inside was very clear.
Although the line of sight was relatively narrow, Dark could see a corner of the temple.
After a quick glance, Dark was taken aback.
He had speculated about the actions of this cult, but he did not expect that they would actually attack the students.
"Since Professor Cazer had investigated, it shouldn't be possible for this to happen!"
But the fact was right in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe it.
At a glance, there were more than ten pairs of male and female students tied up inside.
Dark saw the outermost Robert without delay.
He was tied to another girl, a rag stuffed in his mouth, but he looked unharmed, his eyes were widened in anger, and he seemed to still have a lot of energy.
Scott, wearing the Cuttlefish costume, was standing in front of him.
Unfortunately, Dark did not find White anywhere near.
He wondered if he was tied in another corner?
...
Except for Scott, who was in charge of guarding the captives, other members of the Order were very busy.
They painted an extremely complicated magic circle around the goddess statue, and placed magic candles with special patterns on the nodes of the circle.
After the magic circle was completed, an Order member with a moray head came over and looked at Robert and the girl behind him with interest.
She curiously asked, "Is this the couple you caught?"
Scott proudly replied, "Don't worry, they definitely meet the requirement."
Miss Moray nodded slightly: "That's good. After tonight, everything will change."
Scott was also excited: "As long as the goddess is resurrected, we will be the most devout followers of the goddess, and everyone will sing praises to our name."
Miss Moray smiled: "I don't have such big ambition. If I can make all the heartbreakers in the world die, I'm already satisfied."
Scott: "..."
...
After a while.
A person wearing a starfish costume appeared in Dark's field of vision.
After walking around the student couples, he took out a magic card.
"Magic summoning."
The last voices of the student couples disappeared completely.
It was actually a [Silence Card]!
This discovery made Dark more vigilant.
The person who could craft [Silence Card] must be the best among senior students.
It seems that not everyone in this order is as useless as Scott.
The Mr. Starfish did not stop there.
He immediately took out a very small bottle, and after his lips squirmed a few times, a drop of crystal clear liquid was produced from the bottle.
Among the couples who were tied up, it seemed that someone recognized the origin of this drop of liquid and suddenly struggled and roared.
But his voice was already muted by the [Silence Card], so no one could hear anything.
Mr. Starfish smiled: "As expected of Antonio, you actually know about Soulless Water."
That person struggled more violently!
But Mr. Starfish immediately flicked his finger, and that drop of Soulless Water was shot into the centre of the man's forehead.
The man stopped struggling in an instant, the pupils in his eyes dilated and he lost his mind.
...
Dark, who was hiding, frowned.
He found that he had encountered something that he didn’t know.
What is Soulless Water?
...
It seemed that it was not just him.
Except for Antonio and the sixteen members of the Order, the rest obviously didn't know what Soulless Water was.
But this did not prevent them from struggling desperately after seeing what happened to Antonio.
Several people even broke the rope successfully and rushed towards the members of the Order.
But they did not have a magic card after all, and they were repressed after only two minutes.
Then Mr. Starfish put a drop of Soulless Water between their eyebrows.
As the soulless water seeped into their brain, everyone lost their minds.
...
Although Dark thought and tried to do something many times, his rational thinking prevailed and he ultimately held himself back.
