Chapter 2914 Demon Story (Part )

The demonologist shook his head slowly:

"It was a story of self-destruction, cliché and old. The devil worshippers tried to entrust me with their help in investigating some secret and dangerous information. They were extremely wealthy, and this card was just a deposit. They regarded this card as a sign of their trust in me.

But when I left Yuewan this summer and wanted to go back there to submit the investigation report, I found that their family had disappeared from the area. "

"That family disappeared? Like the Kant family, was it captured by the church?"

Although this is not a follow-up to previous demon stories, Shad is equally interested in it.

Sean Asmon shook his head again:

"No, it wasn't the church. It was said that their youngest son went from the countryside to the city and gambled in the underground Rhodes Casino. He owed a large debt and signed a contract, so the debt collector took away all their property. Without the property, demon research could no longer be carried out, and everyone left within a few years."

"This"

Xia De was speechless. This seemed to be a story of "gambling is more terrible than studying demons":

"So, now what do you want to do with this card?"

"Of course I'll bet with you again. I find that I have never beaten you."

Although the black eyes were looking at Shad and the people behind him, Shad felt that everyone except the two of them was just an irrelevant background.

"I don't pursue material enjoyment. If I lose, you take this Rhodes card, whose authenticity I don't know, and give me 200 pounds to continue supporting my travel and research. If I win, you use 500 pounds to buy this card. Now that the devil worshiper has disappeared, I don't plan to keep this."

It was a pretty good bet, even if he lost it outright, because Shad was almost certain the card was real:

“And we can tell stories while we play cards.”

As he said this, he took out his spare deck, but Mr. Asmon shook his head, indicating that Shade didn't need to take any cards:

"We're going to do something special this time. Using my deck of cards, we'll draw cards in turn. The first one to draw this [Angel: Jakel the Doomsday] wins."

As he said this, he put the special card into his deck, and Shade cleared the plates on the table. After shuffling the cards, Mr. Asmon placed the deck in the center of the table.

Although this rule is simple, it is really fun. Because once you start, you don't rely on skills at all, it's purely luck - unless it's cheating skills.

Mr. Asmon filled his glass again, and the two men clinked their glasses.

"Mr. Watson, before we begin, do you remember where our story is at?"

"of course."

Xia De nodded. He remembered the story very clearly:

"A mysterious being, who, because of people's cognition, has the power of the legendary devil. It brought disaster to the world until it met a person without any wishes. It then accompanied that person through his life because of the other person's 'wish' to seal the devil.

After the man died, the devil took his soul and returned to his hometown, devouring all his relatives. But those respectable people tried their best to protect the last boy. The boy did not save himself by keeping silent, but made the same wish as the first man: like my grandfather, I will seal you with my life.

He then walked a long way and met the girl he loved, but killed her in advance because he was worried that the devil would harvest her soul; he met a noble lady in distress and her cat and dog, but many years later he found that the noble lady he sent home had already been sacrificed, so he left the city destroyed by plague and disaster in a fire with the cat and dog that he had given wisdom.

This is the story the two had told before they arrived at Yuewan. The story they told in the library of Yuewan was even more bizarre and interesting:

"Many years later, the boy, who had become an old man, was determined to find a successor and pass on the responsibility of sealing the devil by devouring his soul. The cat and the dog helped him find a boy. The old man promised the boy that he would become a great man if he followed him, but he would forget everything in the past. The devil promised the boy not to keep his promise, and that it would let his soul get everything after the boy's death.

So, the boy committed suicide after agreeing to the old man's contract. He returned with a powerful figure and turned the old man back into a child so that he could continue on his own. However, the boy's soul collapsed because of using this power and he disappeared completely. "

Xia De concluded and nodded slightly:

"So, children are sometimes really determined. They may not know the good and evil in the world yet, but sometimes they see the world more clearly than adults."

“Yes, this is a story about desire, but in the end it triumphs over the desire.”

Mr. Asmon said, he turned over the first card on the deck, and then put the Star 13 aside:

"So at the end of the last story, the child who sealed the devil with himself like his grandfather, after almost completing his life journey, turned back to the way he was when he started. Of course, the devil is still sealed. This time the story continues from here, Mr. Watson, remember? The child is not traveling alone now."

Shade turned over the second card on the deck and placed the Sun 4 and the Star 13 thrown by Mr. Asmon next to the plate of beans.

"Of course I remember. He also has cats and dogs, and they can talk and have some supernatural powers."

"Yes, the cat and the dog. Although they experienced the story of the child who voluntarily sacrificed himself, after accepting the reality, they continued to move forward as they did in the past."

The demonologist's somewhat withered hands continued to flip open the third card and threw Star 8 back to the previous position:

"Many, many years passed after that, and they traveled a long, long way. Although his body had turned back into a child, the boy's mind and soul had already matured. He discussed many times with the cat and the dog how to find a suitable successor when his second life also came to an end.

Countless nights and days of discussion had yielded no results, and finally the cat and dog suggested to him that if he really couldn't find a suitable person to seal the demon, the two of them could eat the boy's soul after his death and continue to pass on this responsibility.

Xia De couldn't help but gasp, but after thinking about it carefully, this idea was also very good. He turned over the fourth card, saw that it was the king's card, smiled and shook his head, and continued to throw the cards:

"If we were playing Rhodes with proper rules, I would have won. Did the boy agree with the cat and dog's proposal?"

"He didn't agree, because he believed that the cat and dog had their current intelligence and ability to speak because he used the power of the sealed evil spirit. If he handed the terrible evil spirit over to them, there was a possibility that the evil spirit would escape."

"But did he notice? He is actually the one who is most affected by that demon."

"Yes, but he believes in himself and doesn't believe in others."

Mr. Asmon continued to draw cards, and then showed Shade the "Queen" in his hand:

"If we were playing with normal rules, this would be a very interesting hand."

He threw away the cards, clasped his hands together, and continued to narrate amid the noisy and lively background sound around him:

"Fortunately, he still had a lot of time to think and prepare for this matter this time. He had been with the evil spirit for such a long time that he himself became an immortal. In addition, the power used by the respectable boy to make him rejuvenate was too strong. For the time being, there is no end in sight for this journey.

In the following journey, they experienced many more stories. On a certain unknown night with brilliant stars, the young man suddenly realized something:

Is it possible for me to completely destroy the evil spirit? This was not the first time he had this thought, but previous attempts had only resulted in more serious consequences. It was not that the young man was tired of the responsibility, but he really could not imagine who would be able to take on such a heavy responsibility after he left.

Shade drew the sixth card, but it was not the Sun 2 but the Moon 2:

"I understand his idea, but it seems a little wrong. Since he still has time, he should be able to find it. Before he met that child, he was very positive. Did the self-sacrifice of that child change his mind?"

The demonologist did not answer this question, but put the seventh card, Sun 1, aside:

"Not long after, when passing by a small town, the young man heard that many, many years ago, a hero with extraordinary power passed by this place and helped the townspeople defeat the evil spirits. So out of curiosity, the young man went to visit the statue of the unknown hero on the hill outside the town.

What he saw was the statue of his grandfather who said, 'I have no wishes' and was devoured by the devil at the end of his life."

Shade felt that he had found a hole in the story:

"Does he recognize his grandfather's appearance? Judging from the time, when the first man traveled away, the young man today was not yet born."

"You know the appearance of all the people devoured by the devil."

The demonologist said something quite cruel:

"The appearance of my grandfather gave the young man a new idea. Since there is no way to find a suitable successor and there is no way to completely eliminate the evil demon, is it possible to find the person who once sealed the devil again?"

"His grandfather? He wants his grandfather to take over his responsibilities?"

Xia De asked in surprise and turned over the eighth card, but unfortunately it was the Moon 8.

"So the young man told the cat and the dog his idea under the statue, but they were against it: 'You will not resurrect the dead. You said this when you took us away from the city destroyed by plague and natural disasters after you avenged your mistress.'

But the young man thought that this was the safest and most secure way. Even though his grandfather's soul had been devoured by the devil, he now had more devil power and it was not impossible for him to find his grandfather, or a part of him, back. "
