Looking at the secret book in her hand, Dorothy thought so in her heart, and then she began to read the contents of the secret book further.
"The Queen of Insects' Procession. Annotations" is a commentary on the original version of The Queen of Insects' Procession. The author explains many ambiguous parts of the novel according to his own understanding, and expresses his own views and feelings in many places. These feelings are almost all in praise of the life style of insects and ants, and believe that human society should learn from them.
In addition, according to the description of this annotator, Dorothy learned that the book "The Queen's Procession" was actually divided into several parts, and different books told the stories of different classes in the insect society.
These books are, from low to high, "Chapter of Insects", "Chapter of Soldiers and Insects", "Chapter of Generals and Insects", "Chapter of King Insects", "Chapter of Queen Insects"...
According to the annotator, the purpose of the emergence of the series of secret books, "The Procession of the Queen of Insects", is to transform human society into a swarm of insects. Each book in this series corresponds to a class.
Those who have read "The Chapter of the Insects" will naturally worship those who have read "The Chapter of Soldiers and Insects" and above. Those who have read "The Chapter of Soldiers and Insects" will worship those who have read "The Chapter of Generals and Insects", and so on. The higher the class, the more serious the worship will be. It is said that the final "Queen of Insects" can arbitrarily control all the people under her.
'So, in this case, what Thorny read to the students in the academy was "The Chapter of Insects", and he himself and the one called Everett both read "The Chapter of Soldier Insects", so after Thorny's death, the students in the academy would have a different kind of admiration for Everett, whom they had never seen before.
'If this is the case, the bald bat may have read the "Chapter of the Insect Commander". The entire Eight-pointed Nest may rely on the effects of the "Queen of Insects' Procession" series of secret texts to maintain its organization and rule. This book "Queen of Insects' Procession" was really created to transform human society.'
'Oh, other secret stories all produce poison identification because they carry mysterious knowledge. The main thing is knowledge, and poison identification is an annoying accessory. But in "The Queen of Insects' Parade", it's the opposite. The effect produced by poison identification is the main thing, and the story recorded in the secret story is an accessory. The creator wants the effect of poison identification.'
After reading this secret transmission, Dorothy thought that she had already made some guesses about the operation mode of the Eight-Pointed Nest.
Closing the secret book she had just read and putting it aside, Dorothy began to read the first secret book, which was called "The Whip."
"The Whip" is a secret autobiographical story that tells the growth experience of a prison guard. At the beginning of the autobiography, the cowardly new protagonist enters the prison to work because of his family's connections. On his first day at work, he was so scared by the miserable conditions of the prisoners that he wet his pants. As a result, he was bullied by his guards until he met a talking spider in the depths of the prison.
Later, under the instigation of the spider, the protagonist became a torturer and enjoyed listening to the screams of the prisoners. The blood foam on the whip in his hand never dried for a moment. The protagonist found human pleasure in sadism. He dragged every prisoner in the prison to the rack, no matter whether they committed a serious or minor crime, and even reached out to his own affairs in the end.
"This seems to have some connection with Shadow's fear of torture. It seems that sadism, fear, the spirit of the spider, and Shadow's spirituality are all related in some way."
Looking at the secret book in his hand, Dorothy thought so in his heart. Then he put it away after reading it, and then began to extract spirituality.
Of these two secrets, the Queen of Insects' Parade, Annotated, is worth 3 Shadows and 2 Enlightenment points, while the Whip of Thorns has 2 Shadows and 1 Enlightenment point.
In addition to these two secret books, Dorothy also extracted the secret book about vampires that she bought from Beverly, and obtained 2 "Shadows", 1 "Cup", and 1 "Initiate".
Add all these extracted spiritualities to the existing ones, and Dorothy's spiritual situation is now.
5 cups, 7 stones, 9 shadows, 1 lamp, 1 silence, 5 enlightenment.
"My fellow, the shadow has grown so high all of a sudden. If you don't rob something, you will get it. When I robbed the Holy Communion before, my cup was almost full and couldn't hold any more."
Looking at the spiritual power she had accumulated now, Dorothy complained in her heart. At this moment, she was thinking whether she should be less picky and be more evenly distributed in the future, robbing each type of association separately to maintain a balanced nutrition and healthy growth.
"Huh~ But no matter what, I finally finished sorting everything. I'm so tired... I'll find some more things to give to Vanya tomorrow. Now I'm going to sleep..."
Looking at the moon hanging high in the sky outside the window, Dorothy stretched herself lazily, put the things into the magic box, and immediately turned off the lights and went to sleep.
…
As the moon sets, the night fades away.
In the morning, at the King's Campus of Royal Sacred Crown University, students who had risen early were walking around the campus in the morning light as usual, passing through the corridors and rushing to various classrooms.
Some of the students passing by keenly noticed that there were many more policemen on guard in the school, and some intersections were blocked by the police and could not be passed. Many curious students asked the policemen on guard what had happened, and the police officers came forward to answer them that they had nothing to say about the current situation.
The police's attitude aroused the students' interest. They discussed heatedly in class what had happened in the school last night. In just one morning, several versions of the story had been circulated. Since several classes had absentees this morning, these versions of the story were almost all about various murders.
The fact is, most of the police officers didn't know what happened in the school because they were only responsible for the outer perimeter security. At this moment, deep underground in the school, there was another agency handling the affairs.
In the underground of King's Campus, in the ceremony venue on the first floor of the ruins, a group of hunters in black were conducting an investigation. They were scattered all over the ceremony venue, searching for all kinds of clues.
A man in his thirties or forties, wearing a loose, open coat, with messy shoulder-length yellow hair and unshaved stubble all over his chin, was standing in front of the desecrated altar with his hands in his pockets, staring at the spider-headed human body in front of him in silence, and no one knew what he was thinking.
At this moment, a member of the search team came running hurriedly from a distance. He came to the man, bowed respectfully, and then spoke.
"Sir Edmund, we have received news from the Good Angel Hospital. Although most of the students admitted there seem to be fine, after examination, it can be confirmed that they have all suffered from varying degrees of poison damage."
