Chapter 102 Saint Marian was swept by the Order
***Edited by Kronost***
Everything was going on in excitement.
Everything was going on quietly.
...
The countless bats hiding in the corner of the castle became the target for the students.
Whether it was the bat released by the vampire count, or the bat that originally existed in the castle.
Even DemiDevimon, who looked like a bat, almost became a target.
Dark took the candy bag out of the classroom again, and followed the direction the bats had flown away.
As there were fewer candies in the candy bag, he also managed to find a few bats.
But after the bats were wiped out, nothing dropped.
"It seems that my luck is not as good as I imagined?"
At about 10:00, Dark retreated from the eighth floor to the seventh floor.
Then at 10:20, he retreated from the seventh floor to the sixth floor.
By 10:40, he had returned to the fifth floor.
It has been nearly an hour since the vampire count blew itself up, but it seemed that no one had found the "special bat".
This was actually hard to understand under such fanatical search by the students.
"Could it be that it escaped into a secret passage?" Dark couldn't help muttering.
...
The action of the Order was orderly.
Except for Cuttlefish and Puffer Fish who were still wandering, the other fourteen members of the Order had some gains.
Although not everyone could successfully complete the target of capturing three couples, in fact this target is kind of an insurance.
Because for the living sacrifices of the Feast of All Saints, they only needed seven couples.
The others were just spare tires just in case.
Human emotions are very unpredictable and incomprehensible.
No one knows whether two people who were originally sincere would suddenly become less sincere at some point.
Or is it that the seemingly sincere feelings are just acting?
The members of the Order couldn't afford to gamble.
So they set a goal of more than three times, trying to reduce the probability of failure through numbers.
The appearance of "Vampire Treasure" brought them both convenience and trouble.
People began to appear at the secret passage entrances everywhere.
But they successfully avoided those risks and eventually sent the captured couples into the temple.
It was exactly 23:00.
All members except Cuttlefish and Puffer Fish returned to the temple.
There were a total of 16 couples captured by them, which was more than twice the actual target number.
These lovers were tied together back to back in pairs.
All their card pouches were searched, and the sorting cards that would reveal their location were all thrown outside the secret passage.
The Order didn't gag their mouths, but the couples seemed to have realised that cursing was useless, so no one was screaming.
A total of sixteen couples, thirty-two people.
They were temporarily left in the corner of the temple, and they could see the white and delicate goddess statue in the temple that looked like a living person. Many people were attracted by the statue, and became lifeless as if their souls had been sucked away.
If only that statue existed here, it would give people a sacred feeling.
However, the seafood costumes revealed after the members of the Order took off their black robes was really weird, and a feeling of evil spread everywhere.
A sober girl couldn't help asking the only woman in the order, Miss Moray. Miss Moray's voice sounded familiar to her.
"Please, may I ask, what will you do to us?"
"You will become living sacrifices!"
Miss Moray's voice changed into that of an old witch that terrified people.
But the girl suddenly widened her eyes, "Betty, it's really you!"
"Who is Betty? You must have recognised the wrong person." Miss Moray said indifferently.
The girl named "Jenny" collapsed on the spot and said, "Betty, you can't do this to me! We are friends!"
Miss Moray still said indifferently, "Yes, there are indeed women in this world who would steal other people's men."
The expression of Miss Jenny became stiff, and it took a long time before she said guiltily, "He likes me too."
"Yes." Miss Moray let out a scary smile. "So I caught you all!"
"Hehehe. Everything is over, Jenny!"
"No!"
...
Outside the secret passage.
Cuttlefish and Puffer Fish who have experienced many failures were extremely frustrated.
Since they couldn't catch even one couple, they were ashamed to return to the temple. So even though it was time for them to return, they still wandered outside.
They looked like middle-aged men sitting in the park to spend time and pretending that they still had a job after being fired.
Suddenly, Cuttlefish grabbed Puffer Fish and pulled her into a corner.
Just as Puffer Fish was puzzled, two first-year students appeared outside the secret passage.
As if White finally made up his mind, he brought Robert here and told his secret to him: "Robert, actually I have been hiding something from you!"
Robert was stunned for a moment, but then excitedly said, "I know, and there is one thing I have been hiding from you as well!"
"What?" White was confused.
Robert continued: "I knew you would not keep hiding it from me! We are best friends after all. You can tell me now, then I'll tell you mine!"
White: "Oh, uh, do you want to tell me first?"
Robert: "No, you first. My secret is based on your secret."
White said helplessly, "Then I will confess first. Actually, I found a secret path here. You see, no one has discovered that special bat after so long. So I suspect it got into the secret path. "
After waiting for a while, Robert couldn't but frown. "Just a secret path?"
White was surprised: "What do you mean just a secret path? This is my biggest secret. Anyway, what about yours?"
Robert: "Ah, this, I don't actually have any secrets."
White: "...Forget it. Do you think we should go to the secret path to find it? I really want to surpass Dark!"
Robert: "Of course, I will help you!"
...
Cuttlefish hiding in the corner looked gloomy.
He suddenly whispered to Puffer Fish: "Look, are they suitable?"
Puffer Fish was confused: "What is suitable?"
There was a gloom and delight in the Cuttlefish's tone: "Let's go catch them; their feelings toward each other must be great!"
...
A wisp of smoke diffused silently.
White and Robert were still talking.
The two of them paid too much attention to the word "secret" and didn't notice any abnormality at all.
That wisp of smoke was gradually inhaled by them separately.
Ten seconds later, Robert suddenly held on to the wall and asked blankly, "Why do I feel a little dizzy?"
White kneaded his forehead vigorously and said, "I'm also feeling a little dizzy. Is it because we are too tired?"
