Chapter 185 The Conspiracy of the Hundred Demons
After a long while, the others came back to their senses from Qin Shi's words.
"If this is the case, the strength of the Hundred Ghosts will be greatly enhanced, and the harm to society will increase exponentially."
"By then, I'm afraid even the Demon Hunting Academy won't be able to deal with them."
Shi Lao's face was heavy.
This society has countless people on the verge of death and eager for power. They don't care about human nature. As long as they can prolong their lives and gain power, they are willing to become evil ghosts who eat people.
Originally, this group of evil ghosts had a big restriction and could only live in a dark environment.
Once they are exposed to the sun, their souls will fly away.
This also made many people who planned to join the Hundred Ghosts hesitate.
If this defect is eliminated, then what will this society become, and how many people will join the Hundred Ghosts is hard to say.
"But what does this have to do with the death of Shadow Demon?"
Principal Bai reacted a little slowly, but finally understood what Qin Shi meant.
"Once Shadow Demon dies, will they know that our academy has a successor of Nezuko this year?"
Qin Shi nodded when he heard the principal's question.
"That's true."
"The purpose of this shadow demon is to detect whether there is a successor of Nezuko among the new students of the academy."
"Because, a skill will be triggered when the shadow demon dies."
Shi Lao's face suddenly became stern.
"I know, it's Soul Elegy!"
Soul Elegy, the ultimate move of the shadow demon, is also its most powerful skill.
Summon evil spirits and spread them around.
These evil spirits are the souls of the dead collected by the shadow demon in advance.
In addition to active casting, the shadow demon will automatically cast this skill when it dies.
"The curse attached to the shadow demon by the ghost king of the Hundred Ghosts Group, in addition to the blank soul when the soul is searched, there is another curse."
"That is to make it self-destruct at a specific time."
"Because it is a curse set in advance, even if the ghost king cannot use his power to control the ghost life and death battle, he can still kill the shadow demon."
"And once the shadow demon dies, its ultimate move 'Soul Elegy' will be automatically triggered."
Qin Shi said while thinking.
"I guess that the evil spirits collected by the Shadow Demon should also be prepared in advance by the Ghost King and processed as detection-type evil spirits."
"As soon as the Shadow Demon died, those evil spirits instantly came out of its body and detected the entire academy."
"These evil spirits are set to only react to people who inherit the same world as the Ghost King, so most students will not notice it."
"Even students who inherit the Demon Slayer will only feel that their bodies are a little strange at most."
"But their inheritance information has been detected by the evil spirits."
"Of course, this is just my guess."
Principal Bai suddenly spoke.
"Your guess is very likely correct."
He sighed.
"There was a teacher who came to the academy to apply for a job. His real identity was a special kind of person who was given blood by the ghost king. He had the real blood of the ghost king."
"That person was not strong, but he could communicate with the ghost king. The ghost king knew everything he saw and heard."
"Although he was eliminated by the school, he got the layout map of the academy. If there hadn't been a perceptive interviewer at the door at that time, the applicant would have run away."
"And these evil spirits probably think the same as the ghost king."
"In other words, the ghost king has known that our academy has a successor of "Kamado Nezuko"!"
Principal Bai concluded.
He turned to Qingzhi and said.
"Hold a meeting of all teachers in the school immediately. We need to make some follow-up preparations for the leak of this news."
Principal Bai smiled.
"The leak of news is not a bad thing to a certain extent."
"After all, the ghost king doesn't know either. We have guessed his real purpose."
"Maybe we can take advantage of this opportunity to launch a counterattack."
He patted Qin Shi's shoulder fiercely.
"Okay, you are worthy of being my disciple. Not only are you talented, but you are also smart."
"I will give you a credit later and increase your credits."
Qin Shi touched his nose embarrassedly, and ended up touching the mask.
After sending Qin Shi back to Principal Yan, Qing Zhi and Principal Bai left quickly and held a meeting overnight.
......
Two weeks later.
The school issued a notice that a new off-campus mission had begun.
This time, all teachers will also participate in the mission.
"It hasn't been long since I rested, and I have to start a new mission again, ah ah ah!"
"I don't want to go on a mission, I just want to go to the dormitory and sleep."
Pei Bu Le covered his face with a textbook.
"Can't you just go to class peacefully and play cards at night?"
Li Shanyi wiped the reverse blade knife he got in the secret realm of the sword tomb.
"Be content, it was originally said that there would be a practical class once a week, but now it has been relaxed to once every two weeks, which is very considerate of us students."
"But I heard..."
Pei Bu Le sat up straight and looked at his two roommates.
"All teachers have to go out for this mission."
"Moreover, the teachers' missions seem to be the same, all of which are escort missions, and they are escorting people."
Li Shanyi asked curiously.
"What is an escort mission?"
"It is a mission to send people or things to a certain place, or to hand them over to a certain person."
"Have you seen a costume drama? It's similar to escorting a caravan."
"Can't we just take a plane?"
This time, Qin Shi was also a little confused.
Although the technological level of Blue Star is a little lower than the world before he crossed over, there are also trains, airplanes, ships and the like.
It is a bit similar to the technology of Qin Shi's world about two thousand years ago.
Although the territory of Jiuzhou is large, it will not be delayed for a long time if convenient means of transportation are used.
"Tsk tsk, generally speaking, taking a train or plane is time-saving and labor-saving."
"But Jiuzhou is constantly invaded by gray fog, and there is no guarantee that there will be gray fog in any airspace. If a bird monster comes out, the plane will crash directly."
"The last time we went to Changzhou, the distance was not far, and my private airship did not dare to fly too high, and it was escorted by my housekeeper."
"The same is true for trains, not to mention that there are inheritors of the dark organization robbing on the road."
Pei Buguo paused.
"So, if there are no valuable items, it's fine, but once there are valuable people and items, we will still use a method similar to the ancient escort."
"A certain level of demon hunters will escort the items and people to the designated location."
"So that's how it is..."
Li Shanyi nodded.
"Doesn't that mean that the person the teachers are escorting this time is a very important person?"
"But so many teachers are going out together, what a big battle it will be."
Pei Bu Le smiled.
"I'm afraid it's different from what you think. These teachers are not going out as a team."
