Chapter 76: Lucky Relief (2)
Everly knew Paimon.
He was the ninth of the seventy-two demons of Solomon, appearing as a hermaphrodite: a female head on a male body. He often wore a jeweled crown and rode a dromedary, from which three heads hung.
This demon was said to be proficient in science, art, and the arcane, claiming to hold the answers to all human knowledge.
And this information happened to match the items used in the summoning ritual: the three plaster busts, the crown-wearing “Lucky Relief,” and Gina’s perfect math score.
Could it be that someone, under the guise of the “Lucky Relief,” was cultivating Paimon’s followers at the school?
Gina had mentioned that the plaster figurines she possessed, as well as the Luck-Borrowing ritual, had all been taught to her by a teacher named Berlin—could this Berlin be the culprit?
Everly felt extremely irritated.
Eleventh grade was already such a busy year; academic pressure alone was overwhelming. Why did someone have to create all these chaotic distractions for her to deal with?
Everly had never taken Berlin’s class and didn’t even know what subject she taught. She asked Misha, who had a wider network, to find out more about her.
