Episode 164
Inside a dark room.
Princess Perist suddenly opened her eyes.
“… … .”
Unlike the black hair that was covered with dye, the red eyes that were intentionally exposed sparkled with light. It was reminiscent of a beast with tapetum.
I had my eyes closed the whole time, but I wasn’t sleeping.
It’s been quite a while since the princess hasn’t fallen asleep. Yet, his spirit was always in top condition.
It’s still the same now.
“… “I never thought Kajitta would suffer.”
There was a hint of joy in the voice he spat out. Although it was faint, I could even feel a sense of innocence.
The princess stroked the head of the doll she was holding in her arms.
“It’s as we expected, Desbury. Did I mention that transfer students would bring the wind of change? “It’s definitely going to be a lot more fun from now on.”
The princess, who was laughing, got up from her seat, headed to the window, and opened it wide.
The lighting created by the blood-red moon illuminates the interior of the room. The room was full of dolls.
Dolls of all types and appearances filled the wide space.
Whioooo-.
Just then a hot wind blew.
With the translucent curtain gently fluttering, the princess took a step back, her whole body bathed in the radiance of the blood-red moon.
It was a graceful gait, as if dancing.
The princess gently laid her body back at the designated location.
Pook, the dolls that filled the room served as cushions. Perist was buried among the dolls, holding Deathbury.
Then, he makes eye contact with the ominous Yeok-an and smiles.
“Luan Badnicker. He’s a fun guy. … Yes? You like him? Ahaha. “Me too.”
The princess hugged Desbury tightly and whispered in a low voice.
“… The atmosphere is ripe enough. “Let’s move on to the next step.”
* * *
Immediately after leaving the research building… … .
Evan Helvin literally sprinted through the Academy Manor without even looking back.
The sun shining down, the wind still slightly cool, the birds chirping, the cadets just waking up -.
The sunlight that had just risen brightly illuminated the academy. Peaceful scenery.
However, in contrast, Evan’s face was horribly distorted.
‘… I owe you.’
What would have happened if it had been him who was left there instead of Luan?
The princess was wearing an instrument so vivid that it was obvious. That was the clearest evidence that the princess was the mastermind behind all this.
Haden Eihar’s followers were generally pleased. Conversation doesn’t work.
The awakened [memory of evil] said so.
‘Lunatic.’
Hadenaihar, the Demon King of the Blood Moon, is also the god of madness.
There were even those who called the Blood Moon faction the [Assassination Church].
It was treated as a derivative religion.
Separately, the priests of the Blood Moon obediently obey the orders of the Black Cult… Conflicts with other factions are frequent. It was like that in any era.
In other words, even if you reveal your identity as a small religious leader, you are not protected. You might think, “Aha. “Did you?” After being a little surprised, wouldn’t they kill or capture him alive?
Then the situation will become worse than it is now.
This is because there are many places to write about.
It makes an excellent offering to an evil spirit, or you can turn it into a half-corpse and then pull out the musical instruments.
In other words, it was a good decision to let Evan run away from the scene.
Although I don’t think Luan Badnicker took that into consideration.
‘I don’t feel good.’
Of course, the situation is the worst just because the Demon King has already descended… … .
Somehow, I felt that even that was just a sign of some great disaster.
“under.”
A sudden thought occurred to me and a cold smile came out.
Is the coming of the Demon King just a harbinger?
So what happens after that?
And even more than that -.
‘What do I want to do?’
Evan suddenly stopped running.
It was in front of the main academy building.
The cadets glanced at Evan with strange eyes as he suddenly stood up. I didn’t care.
The devil has already descended, and I intuitively feel that something more terrible will happen.
If you continue like this, you will either get caught up and die, or something worse than death will happen.
‘escape?’
Evan seriously considered the possibility of running away.
Of course, as long as the dean’s doll is there, escape will be impossible by any means possible. Because you won’t be able to avoid that surveillance.
But rather than sitting still and waiting for death, wouldn’t it be more likely to try to escape?
‘That’s right. Let’s just run away.’
The moment the inner voice whispers… … .
‘shut up.’

Evan Helvin responded nervously.
I knew that from the beginning.
From the moment he was awakened as a minor cult leader before being discovered by Ruan Badniker.
But Evan didn’t do that.
Didn’t run away.
If I leave, what about the cadets here?
You know it’s going to be a disaster, but you let them all die?
‘What do you think? In any case, whether hundreds or thousands of non-believers die, it is no obstacle to our spreading the doctrine.’
A sarcastic voice.
Ignore the whispers of [Evil Memories] that seem to have insidious intentions.
Although he did not reveal it to anyone, Evan was in fact extremely confused inside.
Thanks to the ridiculously meaningless death, [memories of evil] were unable to properly seep into his personality.
While acknowledging the doctrines of the Dark Church, he still retains his pride as a leader who envies heroes.
As a result, two identities, Evan the small leader and Evan the Youngdo, coexisted.
Dual personality? That would have been better. If that were the case, I would have been much more emotionally stable.
different.
Even the inner voice was Evan’s true intention.
‘stop.’
I shake my head.
It is dangerous to think any deeper than this about a problem that cannot be answered immediately. If you are not careful, you may become crazy and completely break your mind.
Evan forced himself to change his train of thought.
Luan won’t be able to come back easily.
Given the circumstances, it is correct to say that he has already been dragged into the underworld.
So what happens after this?
Will the princess present a double doll for Luan?
‘That would be impossible.’
Making a body double is not an easy task.
Badniker’s spirit comes to the retreat for only a few weeks, which is not enough time to make a doll.
‘I’m going to do something today.’
Anyway, the princess lost herself right in front of her nose.
In that case, sharing the situation comes first.
As things turned out like this, it was a good decision for Luan to share the situation with the leaders.
Even the dull-witted guys would have accepted the situation to some extent by now.
‘First, with the yellow crown.’
This is the moment when Evan decided on his next career path.
Slurp-.
Suddenly, without any warning, Evan’s body fell to the ground.
I lost my mind.
If someone were to collapse in the middle of the main building, it would certainly attract attention… Not a single cadet was interested in Evan.
This is because such symptoms did not only occur to Evan.
Slurp, slosh… … .
Cadets and faculty who were walking near Evan collapsed one after another like narcoleptics.
It didn’t just happen here.
Not only the professors inside the main building, but also the group of cadets who were chatting on the train, the students who had just woken up from oversleeping, and the merchants and their children who had just opened their doors.
All humans residing in the academy fell unconscious.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Clear weather without a single cloud, the sun shining brightly.
During what was normally the busiest and noisiest time, the Academy fell into an unprecedented silence.
* * *
“Dad, help me!”
I woke up screaming and looked around and muttered.
“… rani. Damn, what the hell was I dreaming about?”
I scratched my head.
For some reason, I couldn’t clearly remember the situation right before I lost my mind.
Close your eyes and think.
I think I fainted after hearing such a shocking story.
“… … .”
The moment I saw the Yin Yang Dao in my hand, everything came to mind.
“… “My, I am a priest.”
The crazy developments made me dizzy again. I looked around to see if this was really true, but… … .
Leone is nowhere to be seen. Behind him, Dean Alderson was the only one lying upright.
“Leone?”
Even if I call in a low voice, there is no answer.
Did you leave for a moment? As soon as I thought of it, I thought that wasn’t it.
Since he appeared suddenly, it wouldn’t be surprising if his exit was also sudden.
Of course, it’s embarrassing for me.
The sudden appearance of the Onmyodo Island must have been arranged by Leone.
Even though I am an acquaintance of the Colorless Demon Lord, that is, the Great Brother, it is strange that the Onmyo Dao suddenly appears in the middle of a fight.
‘Is it Leone who made me a priest?’
Or did the Ambassador make some arrangement during our last meeting?
no. You never know.
Leone may have been joking.
I carefully closed my eyes and observed the inside of my own body, but soon ended up moaning.
‘… There’s an instrument.’
It was very weak compared to my strength… Apparently, there was a small amount of musical instruments gathered in the danjeon.
‘This is really frustrating.’
I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t get upset about most things, but in this situation, I couldn’t help but stiffen my expression.
Only then did I remember what I had dreamed about while I was unconscious.
I met Sanghyeolgong in a dream.
The Sanghyeolgong in my dream spoke while pointing his sword at me.
– A priest of the Dark Church came from my blood? I just can’t believe it. I am truly disappointed in you.
– No, father. It’s all a misunderstanding.
– Shut up, Luan… … . no. Even calling your name makes me uncomfortable. Shut up and die, Badniker’s stain.
– Wow.
“… … .”
The problem is that if my identity is actually revealed, the probability of something like that happening is very, very, very high.
On the contrary, I should be grateful if they kill me so easily.
I still vividly remember what happened to Professor Heinsburn.
Sanghyeolgong did not easily kill even those who were not church members, but inflicted the most terrible pain.
‘But what if you know that I, the bad nicker, am not a spy but a priest?’
I can’t even imagine with my poor mind what would happen.
Anyway, I have to meet Leone again and find out how things unfolded… … .
“… huh?”
At that moment, I realized that there was something in my tightly clenched right hand.
When I opened my palm, there was a note.
[See you in Setitus.]
[P.s. I’m tired of being a doll.]
Setitus?
I’m sure I heard it somewhere.
“ah.”
– The country that the Colorless Demon King destroyed was a kingdom named [Setitus].
– Today, it is a country of which almost no records remain, but in some documents it is described as an “evil empire.”
Dean Alderson.
To be exact, it’s Dean Alderson’s doll, but I heard about it during a conversation with him anyway.
This is the country that was destroyed by the great punishment.
If I go there, does that mean I will be able to find out the cause of this terrible situation?
“… … .”
no. Not good.
There is too much useless information.
‘First, let’s solve the Demon King of the Blood Moon.’
I crumpled the note into my pocket and then stood up.
Dean Alderson was lying down next to me.
He’s not dead, and his complexion isn’t bad.
Although the area where the chain was tied was slightly swollen, it did not seem to be life-threatening.
The most surprising thing was the chest area where the dagger had been inserted, but the dagger was gone and there was no sign of a penetrating wound.
Was it something like a magic tool?
I think I heard that there is a tool that interferes with mana operation.
It was a moment when I observed Dean Alderson closely.
Kugugugugugung… … !
“… … !”
The entire building shakes violently, as if an earthquake has occurred.
‘Something’s not right.’
Because it is not clear, an even more ominous feeling comes over me.
I climbed the basement stairs carrying Dean Alderson on my back and arrived at the first floor… … .
Soon I saw an incredible sight beyond the window.
“… “What is that again?”
[Adult doll] wandering outside the building.
A group of dolls, as Arin had called them, were screaming and running towards the building.
