Chapter 143 141. Goodbye Leader Martha

Among the approximately 30 candidates, 10 did not perform well and did not show the coldness, viciousness, courage, and steel skills required by demon cultists. They were eliminated and failed to officially join the Red Order of Chaos. But there may be opportunities in the future.

The remaining other references joined the guild and became members of the Red Order of Chaos.

Each person was given a black robe and a demon mask.

"Can you give me that succubus mask?"

"You are a two-meter muscular man, so don't ask for the succubus mask. Wouldn't it be better to leave it to cute boys and girls?"

"Does anyone have a shadow demon mask? I'll trade it for the fly demon's."

"..."

Russell ignored the mixed voices in his ears and took his own robe and Balrog mask.

The three red-robed demon priests stood at the front. The shortest among them took a step forward and announced loudly:

"Now I will announce that in this assessment, the three best people! They were awarded the title of Son of the Devil. They are the most valued cultists in the cult and need to be cultivated!

"Russell, Thebes, Pompeii!"

Three red-robed demon officiants distributed the prizes to three people respectively. The prize is a "Book of Shadows" with a dark and hard cover.

Other referents and most of the black-robed cultists cast envious glances at the three people, which shows how precious the prize is.

The person responsible for distributing prizes to Russell was the Nocturne he was most familiar with.

Russell took the black leather-bound Book of Shadows and tried to observe Nocturne's attitude through her demon mask, but to no avail.

The "Book of Shadows" is an extraordinary item made from demon skin. It records a variety of ritual spells from different cultures around the world, from ancient Egypt to South America, from ancient Egypt to the East, a total of more than a dozen ritual spells.

Place of silence, supporting the ji, calming the mind, leaving the body, evoking the dead...

Russell glanced quickly at the rituals recorded in the book.

Normally, if Russell wants to master practical magic rituals, he needs to exchange college coins with the school and spend time studying. This not only takes up normal spiritual practice time, but also wastes a lot of ritual materials during the practice process.

Moreover, if rituals and necromancy are weakly related to life majors, the difficulty of learning will further increase.

With this Book of Shadows, as long as he has a second-grade level of spiritual cultivation and basic knowledge of rituals, Russell can hold this book of rituals, directly consume materials and spiritual energy, and perform corresponding rituals.

Among them, the rituals whose principles are close to those of the necromantic and life systems will be more effective when performed by Russell, while the rituals of other factions will be less effective.

As for the basic ritual knowledge required to activate the Book of Shadows, it is also not a problem for Russell, who has gone through a school year of systematic occult study.

The only hidden danger is that there are several rituals that require praying to powerful demons and offering sacrifices. For Russell, a disguised demon believer, there is a certain danger.

"Hehehe, performing rituals is not all the functions of the Book of Shadows."

After confirming that the three top performers had received their prizes, Nocturne laughed softly.

"Open the Book of Shadows to the last few pages."

Russell followed Nocturne's instructions and opened the Book of Shadows to the end.

blank!

The last few pages are completely blank.

"Hahaha, you who have been dubbed the sons of the devil should have discovered something special about the last few pages of the Book of Shadows, right?" Nocturne's chuckle became deeper and colder.

What’s special? Russell looked at the blank page and tried pointing the page at the sun, but he didn't find any clues.

Next to him, Thebes and Pompeii also examined these blank pages in their own ways.

For example, small flames pop up from your fingertips to bake the pages of a book.

For example, put a drop of water on the page.

"Yes, the special thing about these pages is that, unlike the previous pages filled with ritual knowledge, they are all blank!" Nocturne announced the answer.

A deathly silence filled the woods, with only the ominous cries of crows clearly audible.

Another tall red-robed officiant, Xue Yue, explained:

“Although these pages are blank now, if we, the higher-ups of the sect, have any important matters to inform you, text will appear on the blank pages.

“In other words, this is a secret communication method, but it also shows that you have gained the trust of the Red Order of Chaos.

"You will be qualified to understand the future plans and trends of certain religious groups, and even come into contact with some deeper secrets!"

Russell was overjoyed, and he and the other two expressed their gratitude to the cult, and vowed to do more bad things after joining the cult.

"Okay, the entrance examination is over, let's disperse."

Just as the demon cultists were calling the students to disperse, a silhouette appeared in the air.

It was a blond woman, and she was closer to a demon now than when Russell first saw her.

The skin is red, there are horns on the head, sharp claws, red eyes, bat-like wings on the back collapsed, and a spiked tail spinning.

But Russell still recognized her at a glance!

Cafeteria employee, Martha.

"Mother..." Nocturne's mood fluctuated slightly.

"Master Cult Leader..." The other two red-robed demon priests hurriedly saluted.

Martha is actually the leader of the Red Order of Chaos! No, Martha might not be her real name! No wonder you poured me such bitter coffee without adding sugar or milk. You are so cruel! Russell secretly cursed.

Snap, snap, snap.

Martha chuckled and clapped:

"Yes, it's really an interesting assessment. I'm very satisfied. However, before the meeting ends, I have to deal with one more thing..."

Many of the surrounding cultists, including the new members who had just joined the cult, felt their hearts rise when facing Martha, and they both respected and feared the leader of the cult.

“I found a mobile phone from a captured college professor—in a space storage item to be precise, because a black cat really doesn’t have pockets.

"In the mobile phone, there are communication records between the professor and a certain student. This student is responsible for an important task and is approaching our Red Order of Chaos undercover. From this information, I know the name and appearance of the undercover student.

"Unfortunately, this student is standing in front of me now..."

After saying that, a sly smile broke out on Martha's face, and her cold eyes turned to all the students, including Russell.

Sweat broke out from Russell's forehead.

Martha's bloody eyes did not look at the other students, but fell on Russell's face.

Russell's heart suddenly tightened.

At this moment, Russell instinctively wanted to take out the flying potions and spells in his pocket, create chaos, and wait for an opportunity to escape.

But this thought only passed by for a moment. He immediately thought of other clues and restrained his instinctive impulse.

Russell's expression was calm and indifferent as before.

Martha looked away from Russell's face.

Sure enough... Russell understood that his conjecture was verified——

The information records on Professor Black Amber's mobile phone must have been disposed of long ago...

The demon cultists of Chaos Red just made insinuations in other ways and inferred that there might be an undercover agent...

There are many similar methods. Even if Professor Black Amber's key memories are banned, unimportant memories can be connected in series and combined with divination and prophecy methods to deduce some clues...

They only knew that there might be an undercover agent, but they had no idea who the undercover agent was. Just now, Martha just wanted to use deception to trick me into acting impulsively... Fortunately, she didn't expose herself...

Seeing that the new Chaos Red members in front of her reacted as usual and did not show any extreme behavior, Martha was not disappointed and just sneered twice:

"It seems that some people are unwilling to come forward."

While smiling, she took out a small and exquisite mobile phone with a shiny black casing from her pocket.

"Then I can only call the undercover student's phone number and check."
