The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

Chapter 124 Dark Demon has never seen the secrets of the secret passage

***Edited by Kronost***

In the case where no monsters or traps had been found for the time being, the most dangerous thing in the secret passage was the intricate paths.

The paths were constantly turning, and there were many forks. Moreover, the path surfaces were always undulating. Even people with a strong sense of direction would probably get lost here.

But when Dark mentioned this, Dianna proudly took out a compass: "Look, I came prepared."

Then she immediately discovered that the compass kept spinning.

"Haha, it doesn't seem to work."

Dianna slowly put the compass back, and pulled out a dozen more glowing stickers.

Dark's eyes lit up, and he took the stickers from her hand and looked at it. This thing was much more reliable than a compass.

As long as one wrote numbers on the stickers, drew arrows, and stuck them on the wall along the way, one would be able to greatly reduce the risk of getting lost.

Dianna saw her stickers being taken; her big eyes narrowed into a slit.

Then she followed Dark, chewing toffee candies while sticking stickers onto the wall—and started her first adventure as a student.

...

It was probably the first time that so many people entered the secret passage in Saint Marian Castle at the same time.

When the number of students entering the secret passage exceeded ninety-nine, the secret passage that had been silent for countless years finally had an unknown change.

And when the students were immersed in the exploration of the secret passages, the professors were very worried.

Principal Arte and Professor Silver had left the castle in order to minimise the impact of this incident.

The rest of the professors were somewhat unreliable.

When Professor Thompson of Potions first noticed that the students were exploring the secret passage, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly gathered the rest of the professors together.

As a result, after all the professors arrived, they found that the remaining two professors with the highest positions were Professor Jones of the muscle brain and Professor Lily of the fairy brain.

Professor Thompson's face suddenly dropped and he fell down on the sofa.

What to do?

Finally, Professor Cazer said, "From the perspective of the academy, in principle, we should not interfere with students' independent exploration. However, the danger of secret passage is unpredictable, and we need to be prepared to deal with some things in advance; especially dealing with a large number of students getting lost inside."

Professor Lily sat in the air with her little feet crossed. She immediately patted her chest plate and said, "Just leave it to me if they get lost. This is easy to solve."

Now that the biggest problem has been taken over by someone, the professors were much more relaxed.

Professor Thompson's face gradually eased: "Secret passages do not have corresponding security measures like dungeons, but I still think that they should be blocked."

Professor Jones: "It's against the purpose of the academy, so we need to wait until the principal returns."

Professor Thompson lowered his voice: "But until then we can think of something else."

Professor Jones asked curiously, "You got any ideas?"

Professor Thompson's voice was sombre: "Increase homework."

...

The students who were still immersed in the exploration of the secret passages were unaware of the consequences of their actions.

Probably because more and more people entered the secret passages, not many people cared about getting lost.

They said it was an "adventure", but they didn't take it seriously at all. The more senior they were, the less serious they were.

If they wanted an adventure, it would be much better to go to a dungeon.

A secret passage that didn't even have monsters was almost like an autumn school trip!

Anyway, people who had the magic cards of the gourmet series were very popular.

Even Dark Demon became less cautious after encountering passersby a few times.

Coupled with the large amount of snacks Dianna brought with her, they gradually became part of this autumn school trip.

As soon as this mentality appeared, the secret passages that were repeated over and over became interesting.

Dark gradually discovered that there were many talents among the students.

Some people even set up street signs at the fork, and each street sign was marked with a number.

Dark drew a map based on the street signs, and slowly he actually drew a lot.

Then at about seven o'clock, he finally found the second marker in the treasure map, which was a lampstand mixed with cookie-cutter torches.

The base of the lampstand was an elephant's trunk.

The Valkyrie actually drew a small life-like elephant in the treasure map...

"It's only seven o'clock. It seems that there is a chance to find another marker."

Dark continued to search with some joy.

And after finally gaining something in the secret passage, Dianna and Rose were very excited as if they had found the treasure. They were happier than Dark himself.

Going deeper, Dark encountered the son of the hero and his close friend Robert by chance. He noticed that White was holding the worksheet and running a little hastily. It seemed like they had also gained something.

Anyway, the treasure maps of the two were not the same, so Dark didn't care that much.

On the way back, he saw Emma Mortis standing alone in a secret passage, holding a notebook and quickly drawing the murals on the wall.

Dark saw the sticker on the wall and suddenly noticed that this was where he had been.

But he didn't see anything like murals at that time!

"Are those murals new?" After whispering a few words with Dianna and Rose, Dark also took out his notebook and quickly drew the mural.

Emma glanced at him and said solemnly, "I found it first."

Dark nodded quickly: "Mhm, if the same results are found, the first name will be yours."

"Okay." Emma continued to observe the murals again.

...

Dianna leaned against the wall, eating melon seeds in the chocolate shell, watching Dark and Emma who were gradually concentrating, and whispered to Rose: "They are so serious."

Rose hesitated, "Should we learn from them too?"

Dianna felt troubled: "Sigh. Even if I draw it, I won’t be able to understand it."

Rose was silent.

She didn't understand either.

But then she said, "We can look around and see if there are similar murals in the nearby secret passage."

Dianna's eyes lit up: "That’s a good idea. This will help Dark." She instantly became excited again.

Rose couldn't help shaking her head and smiling, but there was a hint of envy in the way she looked at Dark and Emma.

"They really look alike."

...

The secret passages were indeed changing silently.

Especially after more and more students explored the secret passage as a labyrinth, some not-so-good changes also occurred.

A new secret passage appeared in the secret passage.

A door leading to another passage appeared on the wall.

There was a tunnel that slid downwards.

A Minotaur with a bull head but human body, holding a battle axe, strode out of the wall, with a trace of bloody gleam in its eyes.

Robert Brogheim let out a terrified scream as he watched the monster that resembled White's familiar spirit gradually being born.

...

The secret passage was alive!
