Chapter 2749: A Story That Should Not Be Known
Xia De sat up straight and looked at the doctor in the morning sun:
"The original demon had long been split into different parts, and a certain part of it wanted to make itself complete, but this would lead to very serious consequences, and could even lead to the resurrection of that oldest evil spirit.
Many years ago, when you were a low-ring warlock, your group was involved in this matter. In the end, those two seniors, in order to prevent a part of the original demon from being taken away by another part, voluntarily sacrificed themselves as the price, and their souls were taken away, while you were forced to accept that part of the power of the 'King of Demons,' using yourself to imprison it, and waiting to take revenge after becoming powerful. And your ability to swallow demons also came from this."
He blinked, and seeing the doctor not speaking, he asked:
"Is this guess correct?"
The doctor asked with difficulty:
"How did you guess that the oldest evil spirit was split?"
"I didn't guess it, the advice just now said it."
"Then how did you guess that I used myself to contain and seal a part of it?"
"I heard some fable-like demon stories from friends and got inspiration from them."
The two looked at each other for a while, and the doctor nodded dejectedly, looking listless:
"Is this story really so easy to guess?"
As he said this, he waved his hand, and the living room doors closed one after another, and the curtains were drawn one after another. The room immediately became dim, which made the cat that liked to sunbathe quite dissatisfied.
The doctor doing this was of course not to silence Xia De and Little Mia, nor was it to deliberately create an atmosphere, but for information security.
"Doctor, I just made the most reasonable inference, it seems I guessed right."
The doctor sighed and covered his face with his left hand:
"There are some details you don't know, but that's about it. I originally wanted to hide it until you reached the twelfth ring and then tell you, I didn't expect it to be known by you so easily... So have you realized the problem?"
He looked up again and asked. Xia De nodded:
"Of course, although you said you are using yourself to seal a part of the original demon, and it seems that your power is far from that 'King of Demons' that took away the souls. But it cannot be denied that you are indeed using its power. And if your revenge is successful and you take back those two souls, can you control yourself not to absorb the power of that 'King of Demons' to complete yourself?"
He gently rubbed the cat's little head:
"In this way, the ending seems to be no different from what you prevented many years ago."
"Yes, that's why I need you."
The doctor patted his face to cheer himself up:
"I can guarantee that the current me has no idea of completing that original evil spirit, but I don't know if the future me will be tempted by this power, or if my soul simply cannot resist the power I sealed. It has actually been waiting for me to take the final step, and then forcibly control me. It might even be listening to us talking now."
Xia De still understood what he meant:
"You need me to be the final insurance."
"Yes, so you and my level cannot be too different, and I must ensure that you understand all my means. Saving Mr. Tim and Miss Aya is something I must do, even if I risk that this is a demon's conspiracy, I must do it..."
Thinking carefully, this really might be the conspiracy, or open plot, of that terrifying existence back then, waiting for the doctor to take the power and walk in front of it again.
The doctor's blue eyes carried his usual determination:
"I know how bad my luck is, so instead of imagining everything going smoothly, it's better to be prepared for the worst case in advance. If you find that I really have abnormalities by then, just do as I told you many times, kill me directly."
Xia De asked again:
"But doctor, I still have many things I don't understand.
What exactly is the so-called King of Demons? Is the appearance of subsequent evil spirit demons related to it? How was it split? How many parts was it split into? Where has it gone since the events of that year? In this world, does anyone else know of its existence?"
The doctor finally smiled again:
"Detective, I thought you really knew everything."
"I'm sorry, some of these questions I don't know, and some are not things we can talk about now. I can only tell you that even in the First Era, known as the Genesis Era, its existence was the most secret and dangerous.
Even the Elven Kings who wore crowns in that era, the ancient dragons who were sons of gods, or those human demigods blessed by gods, might not know of its existence. For this world, if everyone could forget it, it might be a good thing."
This thing that was dangerous in the First Era was another one besides 【Desire】. Xia De was quite curious about who was stronger between the "Desire" at its peak and this "Original Demon"... After he entered the area managed by the Great Witch of Chaos and obtained the protection of the Old God, he could go to Moon Bay and ask that mermaid.
Of course, Xia De didn't think "King of Demons" was "Desire." The two were obviously not the same existence.
After chatting about these, the doctor got up and prepared to leave. He would come again tonight to discuss the final plan for the midnight operation with Xia De. And when Xia De sent the doctor to the foyer, he asked the last question:
"Doctor, that ancient evil spirit was definitely not split into two, right? The original demon, there are other split parts hidden in secret corners of the material world."
The doctor, holding the doorknob, smiled at him:
"We won't discuss this question.
Detective, really don't over-investigate this question. It was split in the distant past, so distant that the Old Gods hadn't left yet. Now the legends about it have dissipated in the wind of time. Let the ancient stories be buried in other ancient secrets. We don't need to dig out those sinful and dangerous stories because of curiosity."
He winked at Xia De:
"Remember? Stories are also power."
(Little Mia is running...)
When Xia De appeared at the Accordion Hotel in the center of Vista City with Little Mia in his arms, the time had already reached ten o'clock in the morning that day.
He was still thinking about the doctor's affairs, but he didn't forget to hand the list to Flora:
"If you have time today, help me send this to Megan and Audrey's desks in the Council. It's best to be able to collect these herbs within a week."
The list was two pages of notebook paper, not folded, so Flora scanned it twice. Hearing "bitten by a werewolf," even Miss Dan Ni Si Te looked over. Xia De hurriedly shook his head:
"No, no, it's related to the time key. These are materials needed by ancient witches. They are trapped... Speaking of which, want to see my new skills?"
He said, and silver light permeated the surface of his body. Then the cat lying on Xia De's lap only felt empty underneath, and then it fell onto the sofa.
"Meow?"
It called out in confusion, stood up, and turned to see a silver wolf standing behind it. The wolf was too large for a kitten, and even its shadow was enough to cover the cat.
So Little Mia paused, then bumped into the wolf affectionately, rubbing against the fur on the silver wolf's chest.
"I knew it, no matter what I turn into, Little Mia can recognize me."
Xia De the wolf said in a very good mood.
"Did you learn a new transformation spell from the witch?"
Transformation master Flora became interested, stood up and wanted to hug the little wolf:
"My natural transformation spell can also allow me to transform into a wolf form, but obviously it's different from yours. This is not an ordinary wolf, right? What is your transformation blueprint?"
"An eleven-ring werewolf witch who is pursuing the way of wildness. She is also very good at the power of the moon."
Xia De didn't give her a chance to hug him, and turned back to his original appearance. Then he described Miss Bi Si Te to the two ladies. Flora admired her quite a bit, while the red-haired girl was thoughtful:
"By pursuing the way of wildness to refine the power of the moon? This kind of thinking, it has been many years since I heard of it."
She didn't know what she thought of, but didn't discuss this topic with Xia De again. After all, this was not the focus today.
"Can Miss Ai Sha Ai Si Bo Ge arrive in this city by midnight tonight? Then, together with the nun, we can start hunting demons. I hope Miss Ai Si Bo Ge can arrive early, we need to discuss the specific plan."
Xia De said, and the red-haired girl who looked very lazy on the sofa nodded:
"Should be no problem, I let her prepare last week. Let's make it eleven o'clock tonight, I'll let her come to this hotel first. However, besides your friends, Sister Daifulin, and Ai Sha and you, are you sure you don't need Flora and me to help?"
The witch on the side obviously wanted to ask this question too, but this time Xia De didn't want to invite them:
"What you need to help with is the daytime matters. The demon clone in the depths of the forest no longer needs to be located, but we'd better figure out who among the Delin-Oll restorationists is the split body of the demon before tonight." ===== CHAPTER 2750 =====
"That should be no problem; I had her start preparing last week. Let's say eleven o'clock tonight; I'll have her come to this hotel first. However, besides your friend, Sister Daelin, Elsa, and yourself, are you sure you don't need help from me and Flora?"
The witch beside them clearly wanted to ask the same question, but this time, Xia De did not want to invite them:
"What you need to help with is the matter during the day. The demon clone deep in the forest no longer needs to be located, but we had best figure out before tonight who among the Delin-Oll restorationists is actually the demon's split body."
