Today is Wednesday, and it will be time to go to work soon, so Iluna did not stay with Shade for too long. She talked with him about the lists of Miss Wilder, Miss Bister and Miss Metz before leaving.
However, Shade did not immediately take the cat to the Vista Grove, because not long after sending Iluna away, the doctor came to visit:
"Good morning. I was worried that you had left just now. I have made preparations to go to the forest tonight. At midnight, you can summon me at any remote intersection at midnight."
He sat down on the sofa of Sha De's house and looked at Sha De seriously with his blue eyes:
"Detective, are the helpers you are looking for available? If so, we will act together at 12 o'clock tonight. There is no need to drag this matter out. It is best for everyone to end it as soon as possible."
Shade understands very well:
"Sister Devlin can be here at any time. I will ask about the location of Miss Elsa Asberg later. But doctor, there are only two split bodies of the devil that I can confirm now, and the other two are not sure today.
There will be time to find it.”
He explained about George Kant, the "ghost of resentment" in the deserted village, the Drinol Zionists and the devil in the forest, but the doctor was not worried:
"According to your plan, let your nun friends deal with the 'Ghost of Resentment' with the power of the First Fire and the Relic. When I arrived in the forest, I went directly to find the most powerful clone that you said has almost become a natural phenomenon. As long as you three
This one can restrain the remaining three clones, and I am confident that I can lock it directly.
In this way, you have to determine who is the devil among the Delin'all Zionists today, and then you and the thirteen-ring warlock will discuss who will deal with whom. Of course, if you really can't determine, I
It can also be detected after arriving, but although the possibility is very small, I am worried that this will arouse its vigilance."
"I'll investigate."
Shade feels that this is not difficult:
"We should be able to draw conclusions before tonight, but doctor, do we need to take action at the same time? To prevent the split body from escaping?"
"Of course, and I must remind you that, except for me, when you kill the demon, you do not permanently destroy it, but the power of its clones collapses, and a small part of the power returns to the original body, that is, other split bodies.
This leads to the fact that the fewer the demon's split bodies are, the more powerful the remaining split bodies will be, and the person who finally kills the demon will face the greatest pressure. So I will try my best to hold off my opponent, and the three of you will solve it.
After defeating the enemy, I will deliver the final blow."
In fact, according to the doctor, if four people can kill their opponents almost at the same time with about the same time, then no one will face the greatest pressure. But this will not only make the battle more difficult, but also the more complex the plan.
The easier it is to make mistakes, so Xia De didn't mention this idea.
The doctor came here this morning to discuss tonight's plan with Shade, and also to hear about the progress of Shade's investigation into the demon. Although he was confident that the demon of the fire, Dizast, was not an important role, he was not so confident.
I really think I'm the nemesis against that.
Of course, Shade also warned the doctor that the demon's forest clone was suspected of defecting to a more terrifying enemy, and mentioned the old woman's soul and the witcher's legacy encountered during the investigation in Gregorian Village on Monday.
The middle-aged psychiatrist with blue eyes was quite emotional while holding the tea cup:
"I have been investigating demons for so many years, and I have heard during my travels that there are still inheritances of demon hunters in today's era, but I have never seen them. Even if they still exist, their number must be very small. If possible, I
I really want to see them."
"Now that we're talking about this, doctor, do you mind if I test my new magic on you? [The remaining advice], you can see some information about the demons who fought with the witchers."
Shade then asked with a smile. Of course the doctor didn't mind, or he was also curious about what Shade could see in himself.
So Shade took the [Demon Hunting Seal] and put it on his hand. In order to maximize the effect of the thaumaturgy, he even called out the life ring. The two sat face to face on the single sofa in the living room, and waited until the doctor put it down.
Tea cup, little Mia also stood on the back of the sofa behind Xia De and her eyes widened curiously. Xia De then touched the ring on his right hand with his left hand:
"The remaining words of advice."
The thaumaturgy was successfully activated, and Shade felt a slight cooling sensation in his eyes, so he raised his head and looked at the doctor who was sitting upright. The doctor immediately shook and said rather uncomfortably:
"Well, as I expected, I can directly feel this gaze when you use thaumaturgy to look at me. I even feel that you directly see my soul. This is consistent with the knowledge I have. This is not to let
The power that hunters use when investigating is the power that prevents hunters from dying too quickly when they face battles with unknown demons."
Shade did not answer this sentence immediately. He originally thought that after opening the miraculous operation, he would see information about other demons such as "human pus" that the doctor had devoured, but the reality was very different from what he imagined.
Four sentences written in different languages were floating around the doctor. These languages did not exist in the form of single letters, but in the form of strings of luminous words, similar to how Shade summoned Adele in the "past life".
It exists in the form of a string of white runes.
And Shade can understand the meaning of these rune strings even without relying on "language proficiency", because this thaumaturgy itself has the power to allow users to understand the true meaning of advice:
[There is a strong enemy in front of me. I put my courage here. It is time to give up.]
"Give up? The strong enemy refers to the thing in the doctor's body?"
[There is no weakness before, just aim to escape, luck will be very useful next.]
"Escape? I don't believe there are enemies in this world without weaknesses."
[The divided demon, the incomplete power, is indeed it. There is no enemy to fight before, so turn back now. 】
Although this passage still reminds latecomers to leave, it at least provides effective information about the "divided devil".
As for the last piece of information, it is——
[Invincible, invincible, this is the king of demons.]
"Looking at your expression, you must have seen something extraordinary."
The doctor, who was becoming increasingly uncomfortable with Shade's eyes, couldn't help but speak. He now felt goosebumps rising all over his body:
"In ancient times, demon hunters, the longer they lived, the more information they mastered. Once they died, a lot of information related to demons would be lost, so there was a secret method called [remaining advice].
Theoretically speaking, the more powerful the hunter's soul is, the richer and more complete the reverberation of the information that resonates will be. Your soul must be considered powerful, so what did you see?"
"I saw people reminding me to run away, saying that there was a strong enemy ahead of me that I couldn't defeat. I originally thought they would remind me of your weaknesses, such as you hating seafood or being afraid of the cold."
Shade adjusted his expression and said, and the doctor also laughed:
"This is pretty much what I expected, but did you only see information about me? I thought there would be information about the demons I devoured."
"There are no such things, which shows that this thaumaturgy's judgment on you is very accurate."
Shade turned around and pulled the cat that was moving behind his head, and forced it onto his lap:
"Also, this thaumaturgy says you are the 'King of Demons'."
At that moment, the expression on the doctor's face became stiff, which even seemed a little funny.
He and Shade had talked about the "Demon King" before. During the brief escort mission to the academy this year, they even admitted that the souls of the former team leader Mr. Sherf Tim and Miss Shana Aya were missing.
Related to the so-called "Demon King" (Chapter 1653).
The doctor said at the time that the demon was the "original demon", "the oldest demon" and "the demon of great sin". It was "the first evil spirit demon to be recorded in rumors, the oldest evil, the original demon".
However, although Shade himself had some speculations, the doctor never said that he was related to the "King of Demons".
At this time, Shade said this matter easily. Even a person like Bill Schneider, who never panics easily, was a little at a loss. But looking at Shade's expression, he felt that Shade was not that surprised:
"Detective, why do I feel like you have guessed it a long time ago?"
"It's not that I guessed it, it's just that it's a very classic setting that the enemy and we are of the same origin."
The foreigner said something that only he could understand, and continued to look at the somewhat helpless doctor, but his thaumaturgy was no longer used:
"Furthermore, doctor, you yourself said that the source of your current abilities is the accident many years ago, so of course I have reason to guess that the source of your power is the devil who kidnapped Mr. Tim and Miss Aya.
He brought that horrific accident, but he also brought you strength."
"No, it's not that simple. It's not accurate to say 'my power comes from it'."
The doctor shook his head slightly hesitantly, but his expression became more serious:
"I can't explain in detail what happened back then, but my power definitely didn't come from it. What happened back then almost caused consequences no less than an unknowable relic going out of control. It was Mr. Tim and Miss Aya who protected the weak ones at that time.
I also protected this world."
He put his hand on his heart:
"To this day, I still often see that night in my dreams. They are real heroes, and their sacrifices allow today's civilization to continue stably. As for me, I am only responsible for guarding what was almost taken away.
Yes, just a little bit."
What he said was quite obscure, but Shade, who was familiar with all kinds of stories, could not understand it:
