The man is a monk in the inside, and he starts by giving his wife a crown.

In the health room, Kitami Reika was wiping a metal probe boredly, her fingertips running across the cold surface.

Suddenly, a familiar energy wave with a smell of sulfur and decay suddenly came, and the source pointed directly towards the direction of the auditorium.

This force was not particularly strong, but it carried a kind of uncontrolled violence, like a wild beast that had just broken free from its restraints.

She paused, her brows furrowed slightly. Almost instantly, another, diametrically opposed force erupted. Pure, vast, and imbued with the majesty of a brilliant Buddha's light, it was like the blazing sun in the sky, instantly suppressing the demonic aura.

"Tsk."

Kitami Rika put down the probe, a cold smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

It's that monk again.

And... a demonic power? Who was it? What blind fool had revealed himself at this moment?

She had never had a good impression of the monk named Xiu Yuan because of the pure and disgusting power he emanated from him.

Now another source of demonic power has appeared on campus, and it just happened to run into that monk, which is really causing trouble for her.

She stood up, and the figure under the white coat blended silently into the shadows, walking through the corridor like a ghost and floating towards the auditorium.

　963 She wanted to see which loser had caused such a big commotion.

As we approached the auditorium, we could hear screams and chaos coming from inside.

Kitami Reika found a secluded corner and looked inside through the crack in the door. The scene before her made her eyes narrow slightly.

In the center of the auditorium, the boy from the art club named Mizunase Taki was now in a semi-demonized state, with gray skin, newly grown horns, and scarlet eyes filled with madness.

And opposite him, the incredibly handsome monk, Xiuyuan, was bathing in a soft yet inviolable golden Buddha light, protecting a frightened female student behind him.

"So it's you, little brat..."

Kitami Reika recognized Mizunase and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

She had some impression of this cowardly boy with little presence, who seemed to be a follower of that girl Imari Kurumi.

Who would have thought that he could actually mobilize the power of the devil?

But the next second, Kitami Reika's eyes were firmly attracted by the hardcover book floating in front of Mizunase.

That book!

The old cover exuded a strong ominous atmosphere, and a dark purple light faintly shone from the edges of the pages. It was the "Dark Bible" that she had been searching for for many years!

Kitami Reika's breathing stopped for a moment, and a light of disbelief flashed in her eyes, which then turned into burning greed.

This is it! The legendary grimoire that contains countless forbidden knowledge and powerful black magic! Rumor has it that it even contains a method to completely break free from the constraints of the demonic contract!

With this book, she no longer has to be bound by that damn May Day ceremony, and no longer has to look for virgin vessels to survive!

She can gain true freedom and even greater power!

The intense desire instantly overwhelmed all other emotions.

She stared at the Dark Bible floating in the air, as if it was the only treasure in the world.

How could such an idiot as Mizunase Taki actually get something like this? This is such a waste!

Kitami Rika quickly calmed down.

Rushing out to grab it now would be like walking into a trap.

The monk had obviously noticed the book, and he was not completely sure that he could defeat the power he displayed.

However...looking at Mizunase, who seemed to be overwhelmed by power and on the verge of losing control, Kitami Reika's lips curled up into a calculating sneer.

Chapter 113: Taimanin, Ashaji attacks!

Kitami Rika no longer hesitated, her fingertips swept across the void, and she muttered something, the obscure syllables carrying cold energy fluctuations.

In an instant, the whole school seemed to come alive.

On the ground, walls, and ceiling, the long-engraved and hidden magic circle patterns simultaneously lit up with a dim purple light, like the blood vessels throughout the campus, pulsating wildly.

"Boom——!"

A dull thud came from all directions.

The heavy doors and windows of the auditorium were instantly sealed by an invisible barrier, making a dull sound like metal colliding.

Through the window, you can see that the sky outside is quickly covered by a layer of black clouds that are constantly rolling and as thick as ink, completely blocking out the sunlight.

A sticky, oppressive, and disgusting demonic energy rose from the ground, filling every corner of the campus. The air temperature dropped sharply and the wind howled.

"Ah! What's going on?"

"The door won't open!"

"It's dark! The school is on lockdown!"

"Was it that Kitami-sensei who did this? She wanted to kill us to silence us!"

The girls who had just escaped from Kitami Reika's shadow let out even more shrill screams, and a new despair instantly gripped them.

The other students also fell into complete panic, with cries, banging of doors, and the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground all around.

Someone tried to call for help using his cell phone, but found that there was no signal.

The entire auditorium, no, the entire school, has turned into a huge, isolated cage.

In the chaos, Shiraki Rika subconsciously took a few steps closer to Xiuyuan. She held tightly the golden lotus that still emitted a gentle light, as if it was the only drifting wood in the raging sea. Her face was pale, but she tried hard to remain calm.

Saeki Kaori also immediately moved closer to Xiu Yuan. She looked at the rising demonic energy and the panicked crowd around her. Her golden eyes were not filled with fear, but instead shone with a strange light mixed with excitement and worry. She whispered quickly:

"Master! It's a barrier! A massive blockade barrier! That woman... she wants to capture us all!"

Xiuyuan remained standing, the Buddha's light steadily protecting Imari Kurumi behind him. He raised his eyes to the dome of the auditorium, his gaze seeming to penetrate the building and the surging demonic energy, and the corner of his mouth curled up in an ambiguous arc.

Just in time.

At the same time, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded at the Taimanin Operations Command Center in Tokyo.

On the energy monitoring screen, an area representing the Chengdong Academy campus was instantly marked as the highest threat level, deep red. The huge demonic energy index soared sharply, forming a closed energy field.

"Report! A large-scale, high-concentration demonic energy reaction has been detected! Location: East City Third Private High School! The energy field has formed a containment barrier!"

"What?" Jinghe Asaji suddenly stood up from her seat, looking at the ominous red area on the screen with a frown.

She remembered clearly that Xiuyuan should be giving a Buddhist lecture at that school today.

"Immediately mobilize the first and third squads! Target East City High School!"

Ashaji's voice was calm and decisive, leaving no room for doubt. "I'll lead the team myself!"

She grabbed the special sword next to her and walked quickly towards the attack channel.

Although Xiu Yuan is unfathomable, he is now trapped in the devil's barrier with so many ordinary students... The situation is not optimistic.

We must break in as soon as possible!

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's phone lines were nearly overwhelmed.

Abnormal data reported by the Chengdong District energy monitoring station, along with countless calls from citizens reporting unusual phenomena in the sky toward the Third Private High School, overwhelmed the operators. Within minutes, reports of "a huge black cloud appearing over the school" and "buildings enveloped in purple light" emerged one after another.

The official response was quick, but also hesitant and stiff.

Several vehicles with official logos and police cars rushed to the scene and set up a long cordon, isolating the entire East City No. 3 High School from a distance.

"Urgent notice! Urgent notice!"

A slightly nervous male voice came from the loudspeaker.

"Chengdong Third Private High School is conducting an important anti-terrorism drill! Residents nearby please remain calm and avoid approaching the security area! I repeat, the school is conducting an anti-terrorism drill..."

Even the publisher himself feels that this lame excuse is not convincing enough.

exercise?

What kind of exercise could produce such a dark plot that covers the sky and the earth and such heart-pounding energy fluctuations?

Outside the cordon, more and more vehicles stopped and anxious parents rushed out of their cars. When they saw the campus was completely blocked and shrouded in ominous dark clouds, their faces turned pale instantly.

"What's going on? My child is still in there!"

A father in a suit grabbed a policeman's arm, his voice trembling.

"Drill? What kind of drill requires messing up the school like this? Let us in!"

"Sir, please calm down! I told you it's a drill!"

The police tried to maintain order, but he felt powerless in the face of more and more emotional parents.

"Will the drill turn the sky dark? My daughter texted me saying there are monsters! Monsters!"

A mother cried and tried to break through the cordon, but was held back by several people.

"Let me go! Let me in! Xiaoya! Xiaoya!"

The parents' cries and questions mixed together, and the scene was in chaos.

The officer in charge of the on-site command wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and growled into the communicator:

"Reinforcements! Send reinforcements to maintain order! Also, when will the Taimanin troops arrive? What the hell is this thing?!"

Just then, a low engine roar came from the horizon.

Several black aircraft with strange shapes cut through the sky at an extremely high speed and hovered outside the swirling black clouds above the school.

The hatch opened, and Jinghe Ashaji, dressed in tight clothes, jumped down first and landed steadily on the ground.

Following closely behind were several equally well-equipped Taimanin members.

"What's the situation?" Ashaji looked at the dark barrier in front of her that was as solid as a substance, feeling the strong demonic energy emanating from it, her face solemn.

"Captain! The barrier's energy response is extremely strong, and its structure is solid. Conventional energy impacts are ineffective, and even physical attack cannot shake it!"

A team member quickly reported that she had just attempted to blast the edge of the barrier with the energy cannon on her wrist, but the energy beam was like a drop in the ocean, failing to even create a ripple. "Analyze the barrier nodes!

"Ashaji ordered, and at the same time drew out her sword. The blade flashed a cold light in the dim light.

She walked to the edge of the barrier and extended her hand. As her fingertips touched the invisible barrier, a cold, sticky force rebounded back, carrying a strong sense of repulsion. What a strong defensive barrier, and it covered the entire campus.

What happened inside?

Master Xiuyuan... and those students... Ashaji looked at the parents who were stopped outside the cordon and crying out their children's names, and her heart sank.

It must be broken as soon as possible!

Inside the barrier, the air was as thick as a swamp, and every breath carried the stench of sulfur and decay.

The dark purple magical patterns on the wall pulsated like living things, casting distorted light and shadows, completely transforming the familiar auditorium into some kind of ominous sacrificial site.

The students' cries and screams were suppressed by the thick demonic energy, sounding dull and desperate, like the last struggle of a drowning man.

In the center of this chaotic scene where evil spirits and monsters are about to appear, the golden Buddha light emanating from Xiu Yuan's body becomes increasingly steady and solid.

The light was not dazzling, but it had an inviolable majesty, which firmly protected the frightened Imari Kurumi and a small area around her, isolating them from the coldness and demonic energy of the outside world.

Under the Buddha's light, he looked calm, as if the sudden change before him was just the beginning of a drama that had been anticipated.

Mizunase Taki stood there in a daze, his half-demon body looking extremely stiff.

The dark power that had just surged in his body, which made him think he could control everything, was now like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, and quickly cooled down.

His scarlet vertical pupils glanced blankly at his terrified classmates, then looked at the golden Buddha light that isolated him, and finally looked at the entrance of the auditorium.

There, new, more terrifying beings are emerging.

what happened?

The script is wrong!

Shouldn't he be like the protagonist in the comics, gaining power and then... then what?

His mind was in a mess. After the brutality and madness just now faded away, only an embarrassment and helplessness that penetrated deep into his bones remained.

He could even feel that the dark magic book in his trouser pocket seemed to have quieted down, no longer instilling those crazy ideas into him, as if it was also assessing the new situation.

At this moment, shadows surged like a tide in the direction of the main entrance of the auditorium.

Kitami Reika walked out slowly. She was still wearing the white coat, with a false gentle smile on her face, but deep in her eyes was cold greed and cruelty.

Her gaze barely lingered on Mizunase Taki's half-baked demon form, but was fixed on the old hardcover book floating in front of him - the Dark Bible.

Following closely behind Kitami Reika was a group of creepy figures.
