Chapter 2748: King of Demons

Today is Wednesday, and it's almost time for work, so Yin Yi Yi Lu Na didn't stay at Xia De's place for too long. After discussing the lists of Miss Wei Er De, Miss Bi Si Te, and Miss Mei Zi with him, she left.

However, Xia De didn't immediately go to Vista Forest with the cat, because not long after sending Yin Yi Yi Lu Na away, the doctor visited:

"Good morning. I was worried you had already left. I have prepared to go to the forest tonight. At twelve o'clock midnight, you can summon me at any remote intersection."

He sat on the sofa in Xia De's house, looking at Xia De seriously with blue eyes:

"Detective, can the helpers you found be in place? If they can, we will act together at twelve o'clock tonight. There is no need to drag this matter on. Ending it as soon as possible is good for everyone."

Xia De understood very well:

"Sister Daifulin can arrive at any time. I will go and ask about the location of Miss Ai Sha Ai Si Bo Ge in a while. But doctor, I can only confirm two split bodies of the demon now. I'm not sure if I have time to find the other two today."

He explained the matters of George Cond, the "Ghost of Resentment" in the desolate village, the Delin-Oll restorationists, and the forest demon. The doctor was not worried about this:

"According to your plan, let your nun friend deal with the 'Ghost of Resentment' with the power of the initial fire and relics. After I arrive at the forest, I will go directly to the most powerful clone you said has almost become a natural phenomenon. As long as the three of you can contain the remaining three clones, I have the confidence to lock onto it directly.

In this way, you need to determine today who among the Delin-Oll restorationists is the demon, and then you and that thirteen-ring warlock discuss who will deal with whom. Of course, if you really can't determine it, I can also detect it after I arrive, but although the possibility is small, I am worried that this will alert it."

"I will investigate."

Xia De felt this was not difficult:

"I should be able to get a conclusion before tonight, but doctor, do we need to act at the same time? To prevent any split bodies from escaping?"

"This is of course, and I must remind you that except for me, killing the demon by you is not permanently eliminating it, but making its split power dissipate, and a small part of the power returns to the main body, that is, other split bodies.

This leads to the fact that the fewer split bodies of the demon, the more powerful the remaining split bodies, and the person who kills the demon last faces the greatest pressure. So I will try my best to drag my opponent, and after you three solve the enemy, I will make the final blow."

In fact, according to the doctor, if the four people can kill their respective opponents at almost the same time with little time difference, then no one will face the greatest pressure. It's just that this will not only make the battle more difficult, but the more complex the plan, the easier it is to make mistakes, so Xia De didn't mention this idea.

The doctor came over this morning to discuss the plan for tonight with Xia De, and by the way, to hear about Xia De's investigation progress on the demon. Although he was confident that the fire demon-Disaster was not an important character, he was not confident enough to really think he was the nemesis of that one.

Of course, Xia De also warned the doctor that the forest clone of the demon was suspected of defecting to a more terrifying enemy, and mentioned the soul of the old woman and the inheritance of the demon hunter he encountered when investigating in Gregory Village on Monday.

The middle-aged psychologist with blue eyes held his teacup with emotion:

"I have been investigating demons for so many years, and I have also heard on my travels that there is still the inheritance of demon hunters in this era, but I have never seen them. Even if they still exist, their number must be very small... If possible, I would really like to meet them."

"Since you mentioned this, doctor, do you mind if I test my new miracle on you? 【Remaining Advice】, which can see part of the information of demons that have fought with demon hunters."

Xia De asked with a smile. The doctor of course didn't mind, or rather, he was also curious about what Xia De could see from him.

So Xia De took the 【Demon Hunter Seal】 and put it on his hand. To maximize the effect of the miracle, he even summoned his life ring. The two sat opposite each other on the single sofa in the living room. After the doctor put down the teacup, Little Mia also stood on the back of the sofa behind Xia De, staring curiously, and Xia De touched the ring on his right hand with his left hand:

"Remaining Advice."

The miracle was successfully activated. Xia De felt a slight coolness in his eyes, so he looked up at the doctor sitting upright. The doctor shivered immediately and said quite uncomfortably:

"Well, as I expected, I can feel this gaze very directly when you activate the miracle to look at me. I even feel that you are looking directly at my soul. This is consistent with the knowledge I have mastered. This is not the power used by hunters to investigate, but the power that hunters don't die too quickly when facing unknown demons."

Xia De didn't answer this immediately. He originally thought that after opening the miracle, what he would see would be information related to other demons swallowed by the doctor, such as "Human Pus," but the reality was very different from what he imagined.

Four sentences written in different languages floated beside the doctor. These languages did not exist in the form of individual letters, but existed in the form of strings of glowing white runes, similar to Xia De summoning Adele in the "Past Life."

And Xia De could understand the meaning of these rune strings even without "Language Comprehension," because the miracle itself had the power to let users understand the truest meaning of the advice:

【Strong enemy ahead, I abandon my courage here, it is time to give up.】

"Give up? Does strong enemy refer to the thing in the doctor's body?"

【No weakness ahead, aim for escape, luck will be very useful next.】

"Escape? I don't believe there is an enemy without weaknesses in this world."

【Split demon, incomplete power, it is indeed it. No need to fight the enemy ahead, turn back now.】

Although this passage was still a reminder for latecomers to leave, it at least provided effective information about "split demon."

As for the last piece of information—

【Invincible, unmatched, this is the King of Demons.】

"Looking at your expression, you must have seen extraordinary information."

The doctor, who was becoming more and more uncomfortable with Xia De's gaze, couldn't help but speak. He now felt goosebumps all over his body:

"Ancient demon hunters, the longer they live, the more information they master. Once they die, many pieces of information related to demons will be lost, so there is the secret method of 【Remaining Advice】.

Theoretically, the stronger the hunter's soul, the richer and more complete the resonance information, and your soul is definitely strong, so what did you see?"

"I saw people reminding me to run quickly, saying that there is a strong enemy ahead that cannot be defeated. I originally thought they would remind me of your weaknesses, such as you hating seafood or being afraid of the cold."

Xia De adjusted his expression and said, so the doctor also laughed:

"This is about the same as I estimated, but is what you saw only information about me? I thought there would be information about the demons I swallowed."

"There is no such thing, which shows that this miracle's judgment of you is very accurate."

Xia De turned to pull the cat that was moving behind his head and forced it onto his lap:

"Also, this miracle says you are the 'King of Demons'."

At that moment, the expression on the doctor's face became stiff, which even seemed a bit funny.

He and Xia De had also discussed the topic of "King of Demons" before. During that short academy escort mission this year, he even admitted that the disappearance of the souls of the former team leader Mr. Shelf Tim and Miss Shana Aya was related to the so-called "King of Demons" (Chapter 1653).

The doctor said at the time that the demon was the "first demon," "the oldest demon," "the demon of great sins," and was the "first evil spirit demon recorded in rumors, the oldest evil, the original demon."

It's just that although Xia De had his own guesses, the doctor had never said that he was related to the "King of Demons."

At this time, being lightly said by Xia De, even a person like Bill Schneider who never panicked easily was at a loss. But looking at Xia De's expression, he felt that Xia De was not so surprised:

"Detective, why do I feel like you guessed it long ago?"

"It's not that I guessed it, it's just that the enemy and I are of the same origin is a very classic setting."

The outsider said words that only he understood, his eyes continuing to look at the doctor who was at a loss, but his miracle was no longer being cast:

"And the doctor himself said that the source of your current skills is the accident many years ago, so of course I have reason to guess that the source of your power is the demon that took away Mr. Tim and Miss Aya that year. It brought that terrible accident, but it also brought you power."

"No, things are not that simple. Saying 'my power comes from it' is not accurate."

The doctor shook his head hesitantly, but his expression became more serious:

"I can't explain the things of that year in detail, but my power definitely doesn't come from it... The things of that year almost caused consequences no less than the loss of control of an unknowable relic. Mr. Tim and Miss Aya protected me who was still very weak at that time, and also protected this world."

He pressed his hand on his heart position:

"Until now, I still often see that night in my dreams. They are true heroes, and their sacrifice allows today's civilization to continue stably. As for me... I am just responsible for guarding the thing that was almost taken away, yes, just almost."

He spoke quite vaguely, but Xia De, who was familiar with various stories, was not unable to understand:

"Then let me make a reasonable inference." ===== CHAPTER 2749 =====
