Chapter 1023: Weeping Angel

Xia De nodded and placed the box on the windowsill. Even if it was a precious supernatural item, demon creations must never be kept; this needed to be destroyed.

"I can see that your desire is more than that. What else do you want?"

The old musician asked again, and Xia De thought for a moment:

"How about power? Say anything casually, and people will do it."

The demon nodded, very much agreeing with this view, and he took off the golden button on his cuff and handed it to Xia De:

"Wear this on your body, and then go to a public place to give a speech; people will be convinced by your opinions and follow behind you. Perhaps you can start from a tavern."

"Very good."

Xia De nodded again, his peripheral vision catching Doctor Shi Nai De walking in from the door. The Doctor's speed was much faster than his, and at this time, he had also noticed who Xia De was talking to.

"But your desire is still more than these. Say it, young man, what do you want most?"

The demon continued to ask with a smile.

Xia De raised his eyebrows and looked at the window beside him. The room was extremely lively, but the night in Tuo Bei Si Ke was very quiet. He saw the near scene reflected on the window glass. Two faces with a half-smile were reflected on the glass, almost merging with the night,

"What I want most..."

Xia De chuckled, scratched his head, and gave an answer somewhat embarrassedly:

"Of course, it's beautiful girls."

After speaking, he hesitated for a moment and added:

"Many beautiful girls. I once confessed my sins to a priest in Leng Shui Gang; I like many beautiful girls."

He said half-truthfully.

The demon revealed an expression of understanding:

"Yes, young people of your age always think so. Very good, this desire is very good."

This time, it dug out its left eye and handed the eye with some sticky black liquid to Xia De. The eye socket missing an eye was bleeding, but everyone around seemed not to see this scene:

"Put this eye in your eye socket, and any girl who gazes into your eyes will fall in love with you."

The old musician who was missing an eye clapped his hands, looking very happy:

"In this way, your desire can be realized."

But Xia De didn't take the eyeball, quite disgusted by the blood on it:

"I didn't expect that you would be satisfied with this. Do you think this is all of my desire?"

Xia De asked somewhat dissatisfied.

"Hmm?"

The ancient evil spirit looked up at the young man in front of him in surprise. The only remaining eye narrowed slightly, not caring about the strangeness in the other party's language, but instead exploring the truth of the other party's desire more carefully:

"Is your desire not just this? Interesting, greed, laziness, oh, and that terrible desire for gluttony."

The demon spreading desire looked at Xia De inquisitively. It saw part of the truth, but soon noticed more things:

"What is that?"

It seemed to see another familiar shadow from the body of the young male human in front of it. Just a little bit of thinking, the ancient memory automatically completed the truth.

Xia De thought it saw the initial fire, and even saw divinity, but the demon saw something he didn't expect.

The head of a woman laughing, the mermaid tail made of countless naked white hands and feet, and the existence that devoured countless souls, so much so that it was itself a kind of extreme power incarnation—

"【Desire】!"

The answer blurted out, and the unbelievable answer made the demon take two steps back. The old musician's face appeared with a look of panic, which was unimaginable for a demon:

"How could you have her power! Great Sin!"

After speaking, it turned around and wanted to run, but bumped into someone else head-on. With the demon's power, it should have knocked away all the blockers, but this time, it was knocked to the ground.

Xia De supported it from behind, and Doctor Shi Nai De, who walked over with a cold face, reached out and grabbed its hand:

"Finally found you."

The middle-aged doctor with red light in his eyes whispered, his voice sounding somewhat slippery:

"This time, where are you going to run to?"

As soon as the Doctor's hand touched the old musician, the latter felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained. If Xia De hadn't still been supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground immediately:

"You, you..."

No one noticed this place, but the mouth that cracked open in the Doctor's palm had already bitten the demon's arm. In the 'Gurgle~' sucking sound that only Xia De could hear, the demon's power was being rapidly absorbed by the Doctor.

"Do you think it's over like this?"

The old musician squeezed out a voice from his throat with difficulty, and the only remaining eye stared fiercely at the Doctor in the scarlet light:

"I am Desire... the demon of proliferation. Do you think this is my only body?"

"Know, the other body is on the roof."

The Doctor said softly, his expression not very serious:

"We will go find it immediately, you can't escape."

"I know you are chasing me. Now, let me tell you a secret."

The old musician was supported by Xia De to the window, his eyes staring fixedly at the Doctor:

"I have prepared a special gift for you, a Sage-level relic. Once this body of mine is defeated, the other body will release the relic on the roof. You, none of you want to..."

Doctor Shi Nai De reached out and broke its neck expressionlessly, and at the same time released his right hand:

"The one here is not the main body. It seems it is more shrewd than I thought; the main body is upstairs."

Xia De looked at the corpse of the old musician who had been dead for a week, and placed it there, as if lying on the windowsill looking at the night view:

"Sage-level relic..."

He sighed softly, and the red light in the Doctor's eyes flashed:

"The corpse contaminated by the demon, if not handled in time, will become a hotbed for other evil spirits. Wait until this matter is solved, and write to the church. As for the relic..."

He looked up, as if he could look at the ancient evil spirit through the floor:

"It is normal for ancient evil spirits to have some strange things in their hands. Let's go, Detective, go to the roof. It didn't run away; it is waiting for us."

The Royal Festival Concert Hall had one underground floor and four floors above ground. Because there were summer open-air concerts every summer, the roof actually counted as the fifth floor above ground.

After leaving the second-floor dressing room, under the leadership of Doctor Shi Nai De, they continued to walk toward the east side, hoping to reach the top floor directly through the stairs. Taking advantage of no one around, the Doctor lowered his voice and said to Xia De under the gas lamp on the stairs:

"The other party probably understands that I also use the power of demons, so it is highly likely that they have arranged a relic specifically to restrain demons to deal with me, thinking that after I fight the relic to a result, it will decide what to do next. In a while, if possible, you still need to block that relic."

Xia De, holding the violin case, nodded slightly. Sage-level (2nd level) relics can never be underestimated. The Sage-level relic he had encountered that fully displayed its power was only 【Fishbone Pirate Ship】. But after all, the Fishbone Pirate Ship belonged to the relatively powerful one among Sage-level relics. If it was a Sage-level relic specifically aimed at demons, Xia De felt he had the confidence to try to block it.

Musicians going up and down the floors for performances had special stairs. The stairs for guests that the Doctor took Xia De on had almost no idlers going up and down during the performance.

Stepping on the red carpet and walking toward the upper floor, although they were careful, they did not encounter any relics attacking them.

The door leading to the roof was locked with an iron chain, but it didn't hinder the Doctor from destroying the lock. And after coming to the roof, Victor Victor Fanni, standing alone in the night, was actually waiting for them.

Snow began to fall in the sky at some point, and the snow soon became heavier and heavier. The accumulated snow on the roof from earlier this week had not melted clean, and a string of obvious footprints extended from the stairwell to the demon, and then extended back from the demon's feet. Clearly, someone had come here in advance before Xia De and the Doctor.

Because it was snowing, the weather was gloomy, coupled with the gray thick fog, the starlight was almost invisible in the starry sky, and even the moonlight was so hazy.

Bill Shi Nai De stared at the demon in the moonlight, while Xia De looked at the gray angel statue standing in the shadows. The angel statue stood behind the demon, its head hanging low, hands covering its face, as if it were crying.

【Outsider, you have touched whispers and miracles.】

"Is this the relic?"

Angel statues as decorations were actually quite common in this era. But this one in front of him, no matter how he looked at it, had no sacred meaning, but instead, just standing there made people instinctively feel uneasy.

The whisper element was very terrible; this relic was probably the most dangerous kind even among Sage-level relics.

The Doctor had no time to pay attention to the statue at this time. He looked at the demon in front of him and took a step forward:

"I am very surprised that you didn't run away."

"I am also very surprised that there would be an existence like you."

Victor Victor Fanni, with a strange smile, also stared at the Doctor:

"I know you want to devour me; I even know what you are. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all. Your desire is equally delicious to me. You treated me as prey, and I also treated you as prey."

The demon and the Doctor who sealed the demon stood together in the snow, the former behind the angel statue, the latter behind the Outsider who inherited the demon hunter equipment in the Sixth Era.

They were all looking at each other, until the demon pointed to the ground:

"Tonight, with this concert hall as the stage, as the hunting ground, try it, see who is the most excellent hunter."

The demon took a step back, and the weeping angel statue, which looked like a dead object, actually took the initiative to slide forward a step:

"Sage-level relic, Weeping Angel."

It smiled and said to the Doctor:

"I know you have confidence in dealing with me, but how will you deal with this relic?"
