Chapter 582: A Ritual That Looks Very Evil, a Magic Array to Suppress the Scarlet King

While Onoki and the others were wondering what that ritual on the light screen was,

a new piece of data was updated on the light screen.

【Iteration Four!】

【Certain revisions made on the previous basis.】

【? One team member with 4/2317 security clearance will be assigned as a 'D-class personnel' to act as an assistant to the primary officiant every month.】

【Personnel without Level 3 or higher clearance will be told that this assistant is selected from ordinary D-class volunteers.】

【All personnel directly involved in the execution of the 220-Calabasas Procedure will be told the truth.】

【No one shall participate in the execution of the 220-Calabasas Procedure until they have been informed that this 'assistant' is not actually a D-class personnel and will not be executed by guards if they disobey orders.】

Looking at the content on the light screen, the eyes of Tsunade and the others couldn't help but show a few more solemn expressions.

"The Foundation actually lets its own agents act as D-class personnel!"

In an instant, all kinds of doubts flooded into everyone's hearts.

What kind of reason could make the Foundation disregard everything and use its own agents?

You have to know that although the Foundation is very cruel when treating D-class personnel,

it is very good to its own people.

If it weren't for an extremely important matter, logically speaking, the Foundation shouldn't let its own agents take the stage.

And, the Foundation's people even informed their own people in advance that these people were Foundation agents.

What kind of matter could force the Foundation to do such a thing?

Could it be that this ritual of the Foundation is really to prevent the descent of the Scarlet King?

At this time, a new piece of data was played on the light screen.

【Execution of the 220-Calabasas Procedure requires:】

【Two Foundation armed security personnel with Level 3 or higher clearance (referred to as 'Guards').】

【One Foundation personnel with Level 4 or higher clearance (referred to as 'Officiant').】

【One D-class personnel designated according to special containment procedures (referred to as 'Assistant').】

Seeing the content on the light screen,

Tsunade and the others knew that what was being said on the light screen now

should be the specific operation method of the so-called ritual.

In other words, they might be able to see from the operation method of this ritual

what the purpose of this ritual is.

Therefore, everyone stared fixedly at the light screen in the sky.

【【DATA EXPUNGED】】

【An obsidian knife (referred to as 'Blade').】

【A silver sprinkler and holy water basin, filled with at least 500cc of holy water blessed by Abrahamic religions.】

【The Officiant, Guards, and Assistant open Anomalous Object-2317 and pass through to enter Anomalous Object-2317Prime.】

【The Assistant will enter first, followed by the Guards, and then the Officiant.】

【The Guards must pay attention to the Assistant's status at all times and may use lethal force if they attempt to escape.】

"Kill him if the assistant escapes?"

Looking at the last sentence on the light screen, Jiraiya's eyes were first filled with doubt,

and then he gasped.

The D-class personnel is the assistant, which means this assistant is very likely to be killed in the subsequent ritual!

What kind of ritual requires killing a person to perform?

The more I look at this ritual, the less it looks like a proper ritual.

The more I look, the more it looks like some kind of cult ritual.

Frowning slightly, Jiraiya continued to look at the data on the light screen.

【Starting from the column Anomalous Object-2317 (Anomalous Object-2317-A) that is closest and coaxial to Anomalous Object-2317,】

【the Officiant will move counter-clockwise from Anomalous Object-2317-A to Anomalous Object-2317-G with a steady and slow pace. With every step, the Officiant will sprinkle holy water toward the center of the circle using the sprinkler and holy water basin.】

【After completing one circuit of Anomalous Object-2317-A-G, the Officiant will sprinkle holy water from the head onto the Assistant's body, while reciting the following passage: "【DATA EXPUNGED】, 【DATA EXPUNGED】, 【DATA EXPUNGED】."】

【【DATA EXPUNGED】】

【Afterward, the Assistant will circle Anomalous Object-2317-A-G clockwise, sprinkling a mixture of blood and holy water toward the center of the circle.】

Looking at this data on the light screen,

Onoki also felt more and more that this data didn't look like a proper ritual.

A mixture of blood and water,

this is completely some kind of cult sacrificial ritual.

Could it be that the Foundation is sacrificing to that Scarlet King, praying that this Scarlet King will not descend upon this world?

Impossible, it should be impossible.

How could the Foundation be so cowardly?

At this time, the data on the light screen was still playing.

【After completing one circuit of Anomalous Object-2317-A-G, the Assistant will step onto the stone in the center of the circle,】

【pouring the remaining mixture of blood and holy water onto the sand and salt debris in the center, while reciting the following passage: "【DATA EXPUNGED】, 【DATA EXPUNGED】."】

【Collect all materials, retrieve the obsidian knife, all personnel return from Anomalous Object-2317, and then immediately close the door.】
