When the box demon was sent to the Temple of Water, the light in Icabold Beria's eyes sent chills down York's spine.

He was interested in it...... Maybe too interested.

"But it was the safest place I could think of right now. Ed said.

No one has to admit it. Even the Water God Temple, which now seems desolate and desolate, still no one can underestimate it.

"That's right,"

Tess held a steaming cup of tea in both hands, gulping down one sip at a time, her eyes narrowing, in exactly the same posture as the little mongoose crouching on the table in front of her—Naria had unknowingly got a tiny cup from there and poured juice for the little thing...... And it can really be held and drunk like a human!

York silently withdrew his gaze. After such a day, he can be much calmer in the face of strange things.

"But!" Tess spat out the tip of her reddened tongue and held up a finger, "I think it would be better to squeeze some juice out of that disgusting Barra monster and throw it at the Water Temple?"

She looked left and right, her bright eyes full of excitement and curiosity: "Or are you already squeezing it out?"

Isis leaned lazily back in his chair, his face gloomy and his eyes glazed over, as if he hadn't listened to what they were saying.

"Nope. Ed replied, "Phantoms are difficult to deal with, they may not be able to detect a person's memories, but they can quickly and accurately grasp a person's personality...... It may actually tell you a lot of things that interest you, and most of them may be true, but it will definitely only confuse you more. At least, we can't handle it. ”

Novi might be able to ...... But Norway is now a mongoose.

Ed's gaze quickly swept over the little mongoose who was squatting there with juice in his hand and a serious face, sighing and itching to reach for a handful.

"But you can find it...... It's already a pretty good bonus. He lowered his head and stared at his cup, his tea was filled with sugar, and Nalya knew he had a sweet craving, though he didn't show it obviously—Vala always said that one should not indulge oneself too much......

The hint of sweetness on the tip of the tongue can almost suppress the bitterness in the heart.

"I just don't know when it replaced the real Lord Laval, and what happened to the high priest now. He said.

"I've heard that the priests of the Anduhe Temple like to summon demons. York whispered, "It's like some kind of training...... They will all have such a secret room under the temple. ”

"Are you saying that it was possible that they summoned it themselves?" said Tess.

"It's hard for high-level demons to get out of Hell on their own. York said, a little unsettled.

The sound of the oil pot in his ears, the aroma of roasting meat wafting through his nose, and even the small wooden table in front of him were soaked with the smell of food, making him realize very clearly that they were now huddled at Ed's house...... In the kitchen of the Kavo house, to be precise, these serious topics were discussed—for Naria was going to prepare a big meal for them, and she was equally anxious to know what was going on.

Aside from him, no one seemed to think there was anything wrong with discussing this in the kitchen.

He might have declined Ed's invitation to go back to the Temple of Dawn, but he knew it was a great opportunity. If Ed believed him more...... That has a different meaning than Sean Freyche's trust.

He knew what he said might sound a little ulterior. But that's what he thinks, and absolute honesty is the gesture he has to put on, if he wants the same candor to be right.

"But now...... The situation may be different. "They might be able to get into the world more easily." ”

“...... You mean, that crack in the sewers leads to hell......?"

"That is, the High Priest, maybe in Hell now?" Naria interjected without looking back, genuinely sympathetic, "but unlucky." ”

Indeed, this is not good news.

Hoyt Laval knew many secrets...... And demons are far better than humans at digging into the depths of their souls.

York couldn't help but look at Ed. If that crack really leads to hell...... Where did he come from?

Ed was in a daze.

He still didn't remember how he had made his way through the crack...... Maybe he didn't wear it at all. He landed in the fragments of that plane because of himself, but he didn't have the power to pull him out of the world......

He pinched the bridge of his nose. These things that go around and around still give people a terrible headache when they think about it.

Tess stared at him for a long moment.

"Why do I think there's something wrong with you?" she said.

York's heart skipped a beat.

Tess quickly leaned across the table, reaching out with both hands to grab the flesh from Ed's cheeks and pull them at both sides.

"Let me see if you're real!" her little face was serious, but York almost squirted the tea out of her mouth.

Naria turned around and unceremoniously turned the wooden spoon upside down and slammed it on her hand: "Let go!"

Tess snorted and retracted aggrievedly.

"He's really wrong!" she said, "he used to look like a fool when he was in a daze, but now he looks like a little old man...... It's not because of my hair! My eyes are so sharp! Everybody knows it!"

Ed smiled wryly. Among other things, Tess's instincts are indeed extremely sharp. He glanced at Naria apprehensively, wondering if she was aware of it too.

Naria didn't look at him, but just stuffed a plate of small biscuits into Tess, and Tess's humming and chirping immediately turned into a click, and she also gave a small half of the biscuit to her mongoose, and clicked together.

"That crack doesn't necessarily really disappear. Ed whispered, "It may have gone somewhere else, like ......"

He wanted to say it was like the Gates of Hell, but York didn't know it existed.

And that thing fell into the hands of the devil...... Although Scott seems to have done something in it. Allen says it's in exchange for Denya's freedom, which Konya doesn't really get at all.

He and Ise spent a long time in that gray world, exchanging all the information they could. More than once they had speculated about the purpose of hell's meddling.

Anyone said that demons love chaos, and that seemed to be the best explanation for all their inexplicable behavior, but Isse felt that Nia was at least not lying.

Demons, at least high-level demons, really like "chaos" itself.
