Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

"You think this goddess was erected by a Radiant heresy?"

"Well, yes, among some heresies in the church, there are idols other than the three saints to worship, and they claim that this is the real incarnation of the savior of light. It is possible that this goddess statue is one of them.

"Since our Department of History and Classics is sometimes responsible for dealing with some dangerous apocryphal scriptures, I actually know a lot of heresy beliefs like this. I have seen some of the heresy idols they worship, but I have never seen them. Such an image of a goddess holding a mirror... According to the age of this altar, I guess this may be an ancient church heresy."

"Is the ancient Radiance heresy?"

Listening to Vanya's guess, Dorothy murmured to herself, listening to Vanya's analysis, it seemed reasonable, but after thinking about it for a while, she felt something was wrong.

'No, judging from the knowledge of poison in the previous message about this idol, this should be a goddess with a "shadow" spirit, and the Radiance Cult is a "lamp". How can a god with a "shadow" spirit become a god? What about the object of the Heresy of Zhihui? '

For this question, Dorothy couldn't think of an answer for a while, and her husband had been able to draw several key points about this mysterious belief in the Mirror Moon Goddess.

One is that the belief, once widespread in Prietes, seems to have migrated en masse to the East.

The second is that this belief seems to have some connection with the Radiance Cult, and it is suspected to be a heretical belief of the Radiance Cult, but the strange thing is that this goddess seems to be the "shadow" attribute opposite to the Radiance Cult.

The third is that for some unknown reason, this goddess seems to be targeted by an evil god related to spiders, and the Nest of Eight Points seems to be able to gain some 'influence' by desecrating these abandoned mirror moon statues.

Dorothy summed up the information about the Mirror Moon Goddess in her mind, sorted out a few doubts and key points, and wanted to deduce some clues, but in the end, there were too few clues, so she didn't come up with any effective ones. Information.

'Huh... Forget it, it's useless to think about it for the time being, let's clean up the scene quickly and get out of the way. '

Heaved a sigh of relief, Dorothy thought so, so she quickly collected and searched the battlefield on the level of the ceremony ground, and got another pile of corpses. On her body, she received two Silent Seals and about 50 pounds in cash.

Afterwards, Dorothy, Vanya, and Nephness gathered together and hurriedly left the scene. They walked out of the ruins through the secret passage of the book repair club. After leaving the ruins and returning to the night sky, the three separated immediately. Dorothy promised Vanya and Nephness that after she sorted out all the trophies and estimated the price, she would give them some.

After parting, Vanya and Nephness went to the city by car, while Dorothy did not rest. She took the opportunity to enter the school and sneaked into the person Claudius pretended to be. Observers of foreign campuses, in Andrew's office.And searched here again, and after directing the puppet to rummage through boxes, Dorothy got 150 pounds in cash and a secret biography.

After looting the office, Dorothy returned to her home at No. 17 in Greenshade Town, took a quick and comfortable shower, and sat down at her desk after changing into her pajamas.

After Dorothy sat down at her desk and rested for a while, she began to sort out the consumption and gains of this operation according to the usual practice after large-scale operations in the past.

The first is consumption. In terms of cash, Dorothy has suffered a wave of blood this time.

In order for the operation to go smoothly, Dorothy’s preparations for the operation against Claudiu this time were very costly, and almost all of Dorothy’s cash savings were spent before and after. It cost 350 pounds to buy vampire information and buy corpse dolls for construction. It cost 100 pounds for the team equipment, 120 pounds for the antidote, and another 70 pounds for the gas bottle and steel sword, so that there was not enough money later, and Dorothy was forced to pawn the gold and silver utensils collected before.

In short, Dorothy spent almost 640 pounds in cash for this operation. At this time, Dorothy still had 250 pounds in cash after shopping.

Chapter 230 VII Arranging

"Such a lot of money was spent. Fortunately, the operation was successful and the things were found, otherwise it would be a loss..."

In front of the desk in her own study, Dorothy looked at the calculated cash consumption before her and couldn't help sighing. At this moment, she couldn't help but sigh that war is logistics, and if the family is poor, it's an extraordinary war.

After summarizing the consumption of money, Dorothy began to summarize the consumption of spirituality again. Since her blue bar "Qi" had almost 10 points after the promotion, her "Qi" was consumed a lot in this action, but it did not The upper limit of the blue bar is exceeded.In addition to "Enlightenment", she also consumed 3 points of "cup" spirituality, mainly to puppetize and manipulate Vanya and Claudiu, and also has the ability to overload to increase the upper limit of puppets.In the end, I paid 1 point of "Shadow" to Vanya to activate the Sigil of Lightness.

Subtract the previous foundation, and Dorothy's spirituality remains.

4 cups, 7 stones, 2 shadows, 1 lights, 1 silences, 1 enlightenments.

In terms of sigils, Dorothy used a feast sigil for Vanya this time. Dorothy only has two of these sigils, which are considered very precious. After that, there is a lightness talisman printed.

"Sure enough, I'm a lot poorer... Let's hurry up and see how much I can get, and hope to make up for all the consumption."

After checking the consumption situation, Dorothy immediately began to look at the spoils this time. The first thing to bear the brunt was the cash. The cash directly collected by Dorothy in this wave was 400 pounds, plus the remaining one before it was 650 pounds. Seeing the thick stack of money on the table, Dorothy was relieved a lot.

Then came the storage. This time Dorothy harvested a lot of storage, including a syringe with 3 points of "cup", 2 silver coins of "shadow", and a fragment of stone carving with 1 point of "enlightenment". Four "lamp" gold coins were pulled out.

In summary, Dorothy's storage has 3 cups, 1 stone, 2 shadows, 4 lights, and 1 enlightenment, which is not bad.

"These spiritual reserves are mainly obtained by dismantling the early warning measures set by those guys. In order to prevent someone from interfering with the ceremony, they have really wasted a lot of effort, but unfortunately it was all useless."

Looking at the arranged spiritual storage, Dorothy complained, and then she focused her attention on one of the "lamp" storages. From a spiritual perspective, this storage does not seem to be full. Minor wear and tear.

'Is it because the light that holds this storage has been turned on for too long, so the wear and tear is obvious?It just so happens that such words can be used directly to do other things. '

As she said that, Dorothy took out the unsatisfactory storage item, and then took out a piece of white cloth with a magic circle drawn on it from the magic box, spread it on the table, and then put the worn out piece of cloth on the table. He placed his storage items on the white cloth circle, and then took out a few sigils from the circle.

These sigils were found by Dorothy from Claudiu, and they were new sigils that Dorothy did not recognize, so she prepared the worn-out "lamp" storage to identify these similes Seals, the consumption of identifying sigils is lower than that of identifying extraordinary items. Almost 1 point of "light" can identify three different types of sigils.

After consuming one worn-out "Lamp" sigil, Dorothy completed the identification of the two sigils collected from Claudio.

One is the blood poison mist symbol of "Cup" and "Shadow", which can consume two kinds of spirituality at the same time, and then spit out poisonous gas. The more spirituality consumed, the more poisonous gas can be produced, and there is no upper limit.There is a total of one.

The second is the shadow blade seal, which can consume 2 points of "shadow" to add shadow enchantment effect to one's own weapon. If the user has the ability of shadow enchantment, he can consume 4 points of "shadow" to further strengthen the shadow enchantment.There are three in total.

'One of these sigils was used by the bald bat to spray poison, and the other was the one he wanted to use in a decisive battle at the end. '

Thinking in this way, Dorothy put together all her sigils. She now has a number of sigils (physical enhancement), 1 banquet (physical enhancement), 2 lamps (lighting), 1 brilliant vision (Extraordinary detection), 1 piece of Fengling (seal the spirit body), 2 pieces of Silence (silence), 1 piece of poisonous mist (poison making), 3 pieces of Shadow Blade (shadow enchantment).

After sorting out the sigils, Dorothy turned her attention to the Extraordinary items harvested this time. The smoke bomb-like test tube Dorothy already understood the general usage, and she mainly focused on the pendant. .

Dorothy picked up the pendant and a gold coin of the "lamp" spiritual storage, and soon she got the corresponding information all over the place, which is a "lamp" extraordinary item.

……

"Look at the ring.

"When activated by consuming the 'lamp' spirituality, it will produce a strong sense of presence and attraction, so that people within the influence area can't help but focus on it, and the degree of concentration will also increase. The influence range and intensity are determined by How much to inject 'lamps' depends on, but the maximum will not exceed a radius of 500 meters."

……

'This is a pendant that can be so attractive that people can't help but focus on it. No wonder Vanya's attention was attracted to it immediately. It is simply a professional auxiliary tool for hypnosis. '

Looking at the white ring-shaped pendant above the magic circle, Dorothy thought in her heart, if this thing is combined with hypnosis, no one is afraid of anyone deliberately avoiding the hypnotist's sight.

As long as the eyes of the hypnotized person and the hypnotist are in line with each other, and the other person's expression is focused, then it is easy to successfully hypnotize.

'However... If you want to achieve the best effect with this thing, you must be able to hypnotize yourself. Hypnosis is an inherent skill of vampires. Unfortunately, I don't have it. Therefore, this thing can only be used for me to divert attention. Not a big look. '

Looking at the rings and pendants on the white cloth in front of her, Dorothy thought with some pity in her heart, and then she immediately put away the things, and then began to organize the next item. This time it was the last turn. It's secret.

Dorothy put the two secret biography harvested in front of her body, and everyone picked up one of them and started to read it. The name of this secret biography was "Queen's Queue. Commentary".

''Queen's Cohort'?Isn't this the story-shaped cryptography that the velvet uses to control the students?In it, knowing poison can make students worship the velvet. It turns out that this book has special annotations...'

Looking at the secret biography book in her hand, Dorothy thought in her heart, and then she began to further read the content of the secret biography.

"The Queen's Queue. Annotation" is a commentary on the original version of the Queen's Queue. According to his own understanding, the author explained many ambiguous places in the original novel, and expressed his own opinions and emotions in many places. These Feelings are almost all praising the way of life of insects and ants, thinking that human society should also learn from them.

In addition, according to the commenter's description, Dorothy knew that the set of "The Cohort of the Worm Queen" was actually divided into several parts, and different books told the stories of different classes in the Worm Society.

These books from low to high are "Chapter of Workers and Insects", "Chapter of Soldiers and Insects", "Chapter of Generals and Insects", "Chapter of King Insects", "Chapter of Queens of Insects"...

According to the commenters, the purpose of the emergence of the series of secret biography "Queen's Cohort" is to transform human society into a swarm of insects.Each book in this series corresponds to a class.

People who have read "Chapter of Workers and Insects" will naturally feel admiration for those who have read "Chapter of Soldiers and Insects" and even the above books.And people who have read "Chapter of Soldiers and Insects" will feel admiration for those who have read "Chapter of Generals and Insects". By analogy, the higher the class, the more serious the worship will be before. It is said that the last The "Queen of Worms" can arbitrarily dominate all the people under her.

'So that's the case. From this point of view, what Enchong read to the students of the society is "Chapter of Workers and Insects", and he and the man named Avery both read "Chapter of Soldiers and Insects", so The students of the academy felt the same admiration for Avery, whom they had never seen before, after the death of Thorn.

'If it is pushed down like this, the bald bat is likely to have read "The Chapter of the Bug", and the entire Eight-pointed Nest may rely on the secret biography effect of the "Queen's Cohort" series to maintain organization and rule. The book "Queue of the Insect Queen" was really created to transform human society. '

'Heh, the other secret transmissions are all because of carrying mysterious knowledge, so poison knowledge is produced, mainly knowledge, and poison knowledge is an annoying accessory.But in "Queen's Queue", it's the opposite. The effect of poison awareness is the main one, and the stories recorded in the secret biography are subsidiary. What the creator wants is the effect of poison awareness. '

After reading the current secret biography, Dorothy thought that at this time, she had already had some guesses about the operation mode of the Nest of Eight Points.

Closing and setting aside the finished esoteric, Dorothy began to look through the second esoteric, which was known as The Thorn Whip.

"The Thorn Whip" is a secret biography with the theme of autobiography. It tells the growth experience of a prison guard. At the beginning of the autobiography, the protagonist, a newcomer with a somewhat cowardly personality, enters the prison to work under the influence of his family. On the first day of work, he was so scared that he peed his pants because of the horror of the inmates, so he was bullied by his colleagues until he met a talking spider in the depths of the prison.

Later, under the instigation of the spider, the protagonist who became an interrogator enjoys listening to the screams of the prisoners, and does not dry the blood on the whip for a moment. The protagonist finds the joy of life in the sadism, and he will Every prisoner in the prison was put on the rack, no matter whether they committed a felony or a misdemeanor, and he even reached out to his colleagues in the end.

"This book seems to have some connection with the "Shadow"'s fear of punishment. It seems that "sadism" and "fear" have something to do with the spider god and the spirituality of "Shadow". '

Looking at the secret biography in his hand, Dorothy thought this way in his heart, and then he put it away after reading the secret biography in his hand, and then began to extract spirituality.

Among the two secret biography, "Queen's Queue. Commentary" is worth 3 points of "shadow" and 2 points of "enlightenment".And "Thorn Whip" has 2 points of "shadow" and 1 point of "enlightenment".

In addition to these two secret biography, Dorothy will also buy it from Beverly last time, and also extract the secret biography about vampire information, and get 2 "shadows", 1 "cup", 1 "enlightenment" ".

Add all these extracted spiritualities to the existing ones, and now Dorothy's spirituality is what it is.

5 cups, 7 stones, 9 shadows, 1 lights, 1 silences, 5 enlightenments.

"Good guy, 'Shadow' is so tall all of a sudden, it really is a robbery or something. When I robbed the sacrament meeting before, my 'cup' was almost full and couldn't hold it down." '

Looking at the spirituality she has accumulated at this time, Dorothy complained in her heart. At this moment, she is thinking about whether she should not be picky eaters in the future. Maintain balanced nutrition for healthy growth.

"Huh~ But no matter what, I finally finished tidying up my things. I'm exhausted...I'll find some things for Vanya tomorrow, and go to bed now..."

Looking at the moon hanging high in the sky outside the window, Dorothy stretched her waist, put the things in the magic box, and immediately turned off the lights and went to sleep.

……

As the moon sets and the sun rises, the night fades away.

In the morning, on the King's Campus of Wangli Shengguan University, the early-rising students went to and from the campus in the morning light as usual, shuttled through the corridors, and rushed to various classrooms.

And some of these students keenly noticed that there were many more police officers standing guard in the school, and some intersections were also blocked by the police and could not pass through. The police officer came forward to answer their current situation and had no comment.

The attitude of the police aroused the interest of the students. In class, they had a heated discussion about what happened in the school last night. In just one morning, several versions of the story had already been circulated. Some people have been absent for a long time, so the stories in these several versions are almost all kinds of homicides.

But the fact is that most of the police don't know what happened inside the school, because they are only in charge of guarding the perimeter. At this moment, deep underground in the school, there is another organization dealing with affairs.

On the ground floor of King's Campus, in the ceremonial field on the second floor of the ruins, a group of hunters in black are conducting investigations here. They are scattered throughout the ceremonial field, searching for various clues.

A man in his thirties and 40s, wearing a loose open coat, with shoulder-length yellow messy long hair, and unshaven stubble all over his chin, was standing in front of the profane altar with his hands in his pockets, staring at the spider head in front of him. The human body remained silent, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

At this moment, a searcher team member hurried over from a distance, he came to the man's side, saluted respectfully and then spoke.

"Your Excellency Edmund, there is news from the Good Angel Hospital. Although many of the students admitted to the hospital seemed to be fine, after inspection, it can be confirmed that they have all suffered from drug awareness to varying degrees."

Chapter 230 Investigation

In the ceremonial field on the second basement floor of the King's Campus, Edmund, the garrison captain belonging to the Security Bureau, was looking up at the blasphemous statue in front of him and listening to the reports of his subordinates.

"Are all of them affected by poison awareness? Sure enough... in this cult ceremony venue, how could it be possible for a guy dressed like that to sleep all over the place without any problems? At the beginning, those boys actually wanted to quibble with me?"

With a chuckle, Edmund turned around and said to the subordinates beside him, when he came to the ceremony hall and woke up the students who had slept on the magic circle and wore uniform cloaks , They also tried to explain that they were just doing some club activities to create an atmosphere, there was nothing wrong with it, they asked to go back to class normally, and deliberately avoided the questions asked by the hunters.

Of course, Edmond, who has seen this kind of situation a lot, naturally wouldn't believe the lies of those students. After he couldn't ask any information, he decisively asked his subordinates to escort all the students to the hospital in the city, and forcibly Do a mental appraisal, the results are all contaminated by poison.

"According to the hospital, the influence of their knowledge of drugs is very subtle. Although the concept has been affected, they are not aware of it. If it is not a professional examination, it is difficult to detect it." Beside Edmond, The hunter team reported that,

"Heh... These guys dare to threaten me, saying one by one that his father is an earl or a manager... It's not easy for me to come with the marquis and directors of your tm."

Edmund curled his lips in a disdainful tone and said yes, his expression and tone matched his sloppy attire, unclean face and messy hair, making him seem a bit ruffian inside.

In the early hours of the morning, the night watchman in the King's Campus suddenly heard continuous gunshots from nowhere. He was so frightened that he hurriedly went to the school security. The security guards patrolled the school for a long time but did not find Where did the gunshot come from?

To be on the safe side, the security guards immediately contacted the student dormitory and asked them to check the dorms and confirm the situation of the students. The confirmation was startling, as more than a dozen students were not in their dormitories.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the security immediately called the police. After the police arrived, they followed the instructions of the night watchmen to search the vicinity where the gunshots sounded, and finally found the meeting place of the Secret Knowledge Society whose gate had been destroyed.

Then after they got a little deeper, the sheriff of the police force immediately felt that something was wrong, he immediately withdrew the person back, and contacted the Security Bureau through an exclusive channel.

Afterwards, Edmund brought people over. In the depths of the assembly point, in the ceremony hall, they found a group of students lying on the magic circle dressed as cultists. After waking them up, none of them cooperated with the investigation, and Some people's attitudes were so arrogant that Edmund kicked the most jumping kick on the spot, and then sent all of them to the hospital forcibly.

"Going out on a mission before dawn, they don't even bother me." Edmund murmured in a slightly complaining tone, then lit a cigarette for himself, and puffed for a while.

"How is the on-site inspection going?" Edmund asked the hunter team next to him, and the other party answered immediately.

"Returning to Your Excellency, we are currently investigating the three-story ruins at the same time. We found a total of thirteen corpses on the first and second floors, of which seven were burnt and six were dismembered. On the ground and walls of the second floor, a large amount of blood, bullets, shell casings... both pistol bullets and rifle bullets were found. It is almost certain that an Extraordinary station using normal firepower took place here." "It can be confirmed that an Extraordinary battle took place Is it?" Hearing the words of the players around him, Edmund said with a slight frown, and the players around him also nodded seriously.

"That's right. Among the seven burnt people, one of them was in a very abnormal state. It seemed that some ability ignited the flames from the inside of the human body and burned it. The six dismembered corpses seemed to be torn apart. Judging from the condition of the wound, it may be caused by the great power of the 'cup' or the enchantment of the 'shadow', even if it is not a Beyonder, there should be corresponding Extraordinary items involved."

The team members continued to answer, Edmund touched his chin and muttered after hearing this.

"A Pyromancer... a 'Shadow' or 'Cup' whoever... Interesting. Any other discoveries?"

"Yes, we found that the battlefield has been cleaned on a large scale. In many places, there are clear blood stains but no corpses. There are many bullets found, but there are no gunshot wounds on the corpses left at the scene. We suspect that the wounded are still intact. The dead body was processed and placed first, so the site we are investigating now is also the site that has been processed."

The team members reported that Edmond raised his eyebrows and continued to pick up after hearing this.

"In this way, it seems that the side that won in the end still has plenty of energy after winning. After the war, there is still time and energy to clean up the battlefield so cleanly. Those guys on the offensive side Not bad." Edmund said in a joking tone, but he also secretly remembered the characteristics of the mysterious attacker in his heart.

"By the way, have the observers who were supposed to be stationed in this school been found?"

Edmund continued to ask, if he remembered correctly, the bureau had sent someone to the King's Campus for inquiries not long ago, and the dispatcher returned to the bureau after contacting the observers here, and the report they submitted was that the King All is well on campus and no further investigation is required.

Now it seems that there is nothing normal here, there may be something wrong with the two dispatchers, and there is definitely something wrong with the observer.

"Returning to Your Excellency, it has been verified that the stationed observer of the King's Campus is named Andrew Wynn, and he is still missing. We searched his residence and office but found no one. His office has been raided. What is surprising is that Andrew's residence has already accumulated dust, and it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time." The hunter team immediately responded to Edmund's question, and Edmund heard this After speaking, he frowned slightly.

"Has no one lived in the residence for a long time... Continue to search for that Andrew's whereabouts, if you can't find it, contact the family members, prepare relevant materials and send them to the Department of Psychics, apply for psychics, and see if you can get some what."

Edmund continued to say that at this time he was already guessing that Andrew might have died long ago.

"Yes."

The hunter captain responded to Edmund, and after saluting Edmund, he retreated, leaving Edmund standing still and looking at the tall blasphemous statue in front of him.

Looking at the spider head on the statue, Edmund took out a document paper from his pocket with a serious expression. There were many black and white photos printed on it, most of which were the spider head in front of him. The location and time of discovery are written under each photo, as well as a general description of the situation.
