Chapter 42 - The damn Cult (part 1)

Storage room

"ey, wake up"

"Wake upppp~"

WAKE THE FUCK UP, OR I DO THE THING!!"

"...really? You really don't? Damn, then there is no other way, I will show you my meme dance!"

"Scuba, scuba"

Hearing that gives me a splitting headache...

"What the hell are you doing Monkey?"

"I am dancing, dancing for the readers to see"

"I do not know what readers you are talking about, get the hell out of here"

"Relax man, we have plenty of time, I had to watch a whole pile of those scuba cat dancing videos on tiktok to learn this"

"I hate your stupid dance and your brain-dead brainwashing, I hate everything about you!"

"You make me heart broken man"

Right after that, someone dumped water straight onto my face, making my consciousness wake up immediately

"Awake yet you hateful brat?"

I blinked for a while, then looked at the two figures in front of me

One wearing a blue cloak and another holding a bucket wearing a purple cloak

And the blue cloak guy was still dancing, mouth continuously saying scuba scubu something

"You guys are..." I looked at the two of them then looked around, seeing another girl also tied up

Aelith!

No way, why is she so unlucky? Just because she is the main character she has to get involved in these events?

"Where are you looking?!"

The purple cloak guy kicked hard into my face, making me fall down

I looked at a tooth that just flew out, blood slowly flowing down from my lip

"Dude, what the fuck? He is a kid" Monkey, still carefree earlier, now looked at Wolf with a displeased expression

"So what? Looking at him makes me uncomfortable"

"This guy... Later I have to make you stay away from this kid, if he turns out to be a cold-blooded main character type then I am afraid I will not even have a place to bury myself"

"I do not need you to manage me!"

"Then your mom is fat"

"What did you say?!"

"YOUR MOM IS FAT FAT FAT FAT FAT!" Monkey pointed his finger straight at Wolf's nose

While the two were asking about each other's parents, the sound of a door opening rang out

"Stop it, the leader is here" Bull came over then stepped aside for the leader to enter

"Hello leader, the kid has been taught a lesson" both stood neatly and reported

The leader looked at me collapsed, blood flowing from my mouth then looked at the two

"Wolf, you go outside, the rest leave to me"

"Understood!"

Watching Wolf leave the room, only Bull, Monkey, the Leader, Aelith and I remained

"Bull, make him stand up"

"Understood"

Bull came over, pulled me to stand straight

While pulling he noticed my tooth and a bit of blood, making him slightly narrow his eyes

'calm down, this is work, do not think randomly' Bull reassured himself a bit, then returned to a calm face

The sharp pain on the side of my cheek was very uncomfortable, I wanted to check how the injury looked but my hands and feet were all tied, I could not do anything

I looked at the man in front of me, he also wore a cloak covering his entire face, however I could feel his eyes full of killing intent

Seems like he is quite angry huh?

"Who are you?"

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am one of the 5 leaders of the philosopher's stone cult under the great leader Flamel!"

"And these are members of my group, the crazy Monkey and the proficient Bull"

"Why the hell are you insulting me while introducing??" Monkey shouted in protest

I was startled when I heard that

The philosopher's stone cult? So early?

Could it be the butterfly effect?

No way, so that Alchemist summon that got burned last time was the origin that this group uses? What kind of management does the academy have to let these guys infiltrate??

"Looking at you it seems you already recognize our group huh?" The leader chuckled lightly, coming close to my face

This cult is originally an extreme organization led by Flamel

They believe that modern alchemy is blasphemy, something that killed the laws that created alchemy, and that original alchemy is the true truth

Must exchange something worthy to receive what they need

Sounds very outdated right? So what is their goal

...World domination

Super classic villains group, why am I not surprised anymore?

Oh wait wait, there's more!

So how to dominate the world?

Of course! By using Alchemist summon, the thing that Flamel always spreads as the ultimate weapon, the thing that will make every living being kneel at their feet

Very classic, making me feel very Nostalgia

"What is that look?" The leader seemed unhappy seeing my indifferent face

"What do you want?" I said directly

"Haha, then I will not drag it out, remember a few days ago you went to the old dormitory and together with that Hex burned everything that we had searched for a long time?"

"Oh, and then?"

"Hahaha..." The leader laughed, a few veins popping out from his forehead

"How about this? Although I am hot-tempered I am not crazy enough to kill a kid in that old man's territory, you just need to allow us to enter your memories, take everything you know about it"

"I know jack shit-"

His hand squeezed my neck, eyes full of obsession

"You cannot fool me, at first I did not even believe this until Monkey used his card then we knew that you understand a lot about the Alchemist summoning method"

He slowly released his hand, letting me breathe slowly

"And I should also thank you, because a kid in your class who seems to dislike you a bit decided to report where you were, making us not have to reveal ourselves"

No wonder... Teleportation magic is originally very expensive and takes a lot of effort, not to mention long-distance teleportation that needs many conditions like knowing coordinates, position, directions east west south north rather than just knowing where I am

"So? Do you accept?" He said, waiting for my decision

"..."

I slowly looked over at Aelith, who was still unconscious, then looked at the group of them

"Do not think about finding a way to escape, your cards and that girl's have already been held by another guy in my group"

"I have one request"

"Speak"

"Let her out of here"

"Oh? You are the type who prioritizes other people's lives first? Fine, Bull"

Bull heard that then picked Aelith up and left

"Now can we proceed?"

"Do whatever you want, as long as you do not regret it" I said, giving a slightly meaningful smile

"I never regret, Monkey do it"

"Okay buddy"

Monkey came over, with a regretful face holding some card in his hand

"Do not blame me okay buddy, if you blame then blame that you are not the main character of Sage of Bacillus, after all JustRey, Red Valtrax and GodOfDegenerates will also remember you and write fanfic about you as a harem main character" Monkey rambled before bringing the card close to my forehead

"Are you sure? Why not try reading the title again?" I smiled and said to Monkey

"Hey buddy, although I do not know why you have the ability to break the fourth wall like me, but I swear I read carefully- what did you just say?" Monkey was speaking midway then stopped, looking at me with a surprised face

"What the hell are you doing?" The leader saw Monkey stop and was confused

"Have you ever thought about the possibility that people who reincarnated from a world where every kind of art is known and breaking the fourth wall is also among them?" I asked directly, making his eyes widen

Why am I speaking as if I am breaking the fourth wall?

To be honest, I do not know if anyone is watching me, but this Monkey guy knows quite clearly

He is the Deadpool of this world

So if I came to this world and saw him talking to himself and acting absurdly then I knew he knows about the fourth wall already

"Besides I advise you to update your information, the butterfly effect I caused is quite a lot already"

Then I smiled

BOOM!!

Bull was flung inside, crashing straight into the wall

"?!" The leader saw Bull being flung in then looked at the one who did it

Standing there was the girl from earlier, however her aura was oppressively strong beyond belief

"Igor Snowy, indeed I did not misjudge, a person willing to sacrifice themselves to save others is always welcome" she looked at me and said

This is the reason I asked to let her out of here, because Aelith may be unconscious, but the other soul residing inside is not

Even though she has been weakened a lot, it does not mean she has no fighting ability left

"Dude, so you are a main character who reincarnated into a novel? Now what is she? The heroine and your future wife?!" Monkey stepped back, sweating

"First, I reincarnated into a game, and second, I doubt I have enough plot armor to become the main character buddy and third, I do not have the ability to break the fourth wall, I only pretend if I am sure about whether you can talk to them or not" I said

"Damn it! I thought I would get to see Yuri harem but it turns out to be traditional harem, give me back my expectations- UHAH!" Monkey was struck far away by a dark punch mushroom

"Talk too much" Yami Aelith said, then turned to the leader

Now the leader's face looked very bad, he ground his teeth so hard it seemed they were about to break

Dude calm down, you look terrible

"You wasted a whole pile of my time, now more surprises come one after another, do you know how much I suffered just to find a bit of a clue only for you to burn it all, now when I just want to take knowledge from your brain you still will not allow it?!"

"Well, probably because your group are the villains, right Dance Monkey by Tones And I? Although I do not know if anyone is watching me but eh, listen to that song, it is good" I turned to ask the one lying collapsed

"Now I understand the feeling when talking to someone who breaks the fourth wall, extremely annoying..." Monkey sighed, just lying there motionless

"ENOUGH RAMBLING!!"

The leader was angry because he was ignored, so he took out his cards and summoned

"Liquid iron slime!"

A slime with shiny silver color, quite large

"Damn?! You summoned a sibling with different father different mother from the author to destroy them?!" Monkey said in panic

"Should we run?" I turned to ask Yami Aelith

"...we will retreat, my strength is not even enough"

Luckily in terms of personal strength this group is not strong, but their monster cards are different

"Well, goodbye Monkey, maybe we will meet again next time, if you choose the right side to follow" I waved and smiled at Monkey

"Great, so tomorrow I have to become an Anti hero? Readers, do you want that? If you like it then I will consider"

"LIQUID IRON SLIME, ATTACK THEM!!!"

Sharp iron spikes were launched from that slime, Yami Aelith immediately used a dark hand to grab me then ran out of the warehouse

And right outside, Wolf appeared summoning a scarred hungry wolf

"I have been waiting for you guys for a long time!"

Yami Aelith was about to step back when a humanoid dog lunged and hugged her face

"?!"

Yami Aelith tried to pull it off and accidentally loosened the dark arm, right when I fell down a hand already grabbed both of my wrists behind me

"Your ass is mine, Femboy!" The leader said, the other hand holding the card that Monkey was about to use on me

Damn it! Indeed I do not even have a single plot armor!!

"Activate spell card, Memory Investigation!!"

The card immediately touched my forehead, and I began to feel mana seeping through my brain

This is bad... This is completely messed up...

I do not want... My identity to be known by anyone... Not yet...

Crack

Cold air from the boy began to radiate...

"Huh?"

The leader looked at his hand gradually freezing, then realized something was wrong

Everything started dropping in temperature extremely fast, even feeling like the whole group of them was about to fall into a permanent hibernation state that could never wake up

The leader looked into my deep blue eyes and saw them starting to glow brilliantly

A few white strands on the pure black hair of the boy slowly spread, occupying another part of his hair

Then the leader immediately realized something

"DAMN IT, SO YOU ARE-"

Before he could finish speaking, the leader's entire body was frozen

Wolf, the dog person and even Yami Aelith were also affected

"This mana... Full of curse... Could he be..." Yami Aelith was surprised but then calmed down

She had to leave here before being frozen like the others

She immediately broke the window then leaped out right away, however she realized the place she just jumped into looked exactly the same as the room just now, the cold air from there also began to spread out of here

However before the entire old dormitory would return to this ice age, the necklace that Igor was wearing also glowed along

It began to absorb all the mana released from Igor's body, then made Igor unable to release cold air anymore

After that his hair returned to normal, he collapsed and fell unconscious

"...is it over?"

Yami Aelith monitored the situation inside and realized the necklace that Igor was wearing had absorbed everything from him

"Hm, so I do not need to worry anymore"

Right when she stepped back inside, she looked at the others who were frozen and noticed the ice was melting unusually fast

"Not much time left, have to drag him out of here"

Saying and doing, she carried him and ran
