Chapter 32: The Devil's Presence

"What about the content of their mission?" Yuan Xiao recalled the painful lesson of teaming up with the "Jackal", turned his head and asked Dante, "I remember that at the beginning of the Samsung mission, the object of the mission basically involved the security of the entire human society in the region, what is it that is out of control this time?"

In fact, the original owl has no authority to intervene, because in order to ensure "fair competition", the original rule is that the specific task content can only be obtained by the person who receives it, and others do not have the permission to know.

But given that this guy has not broken the rules once or twice, and Jun Suo has also greeted Dante, as long as he doesn't let Yuan Xiao take on high-level tasks, everything is easy to say. So Dante didn't shy away from it, and directly handed the tablet in his hand to Yuan Xiao.

"Mission Level: 3 Stars

Quest Pick-up: Jackal

Mission Support Level: 4 stars

Mission: Find out the death of villagers and the disappearance of livestock in Liuhe Village, north of the city, and eliminate the source organisms.

Mission briefing: On the 13th of this month, the body of villager Wang Kan was found at the junction of the township road and the provincial highway in Liuhe Village, and a large amount of blood stains were found; on the 15th, two farming cattle in the house of villager Zhang Damin disappeared, and there were no traces of blood at the scene, and a certain amount of strange liquid remained, which was brought back for analysis.

On the 17th, two villagers disappeared again in Liuhe Village, and their bodies remained at the scene, and there were a large number of blood stains......"

The rest of the scene is a lot of pictures, and the scene is extremely bloody, with severed arms and stumps lying messily on the ground, and blood repainting the entire wall. The most frightening thing is the yellow unknown liquid left at the scene, after testing, put the bones and flesh of the human body, it can be broken down into a fluid in less than ten seconds, if you put it into the blood, it will immediately boil like boiling water, but it does not have any additional corrosiveness, no matter what the material will not cause a reaction of this liquid, as if this liquid is only interested in flesh and blood.

"It feels like a disgusting thing over there. Yuan Xiao frowned, retrieving the relevant conditions from the hell demons he had hunted.

But there is an even more annoying guy, and the original owl has already come up with the answer while he is still thinking about it.

"Isn't this the 'Bloodthirsty One', you still think about it for so long, and you didn't kill it at the beginning. "Orkus is not tossing in the sea of blood in the temple of the original demon today, but is seriously depicting something on the walls.

Here is a detailed description of the original owl's temple of thinking.

The so-called temple of thinking is to use three-dimensional thinking to construct a space that belongs only to oneself in one's own consciousness, which can be used as a carrier of self-communication and consciousness cognition.

For example, on this wall, I want to graffiti a unique word with thirty-six letters, and the twelfth letter is my own way of writing, and next to the wall is my memory locker, which is made of logs, the pattern is in the shape of water waves, and it smells of anaennaemia, and there is a whale baleen pen on it, and there are six layers of lattice...... In this way, everyone can organize their memories by building their own temple of thought, and they can "store" their consciousness as an independent individual, which is your unique world.

The temple of the original owl's mind is more special, because only part of it belongs to him, and the other part is Orkus, the sojourner of the original owl's spiritual world. This temple of thought is extremely large, divided into two halves from the middle, half like a Vatican basilica, splendor and vast, like a miracle, the golden frescoes and glazed carvings are dazzling, but the strange thing is that there is no floor, only an endless sea of blood. The other half is as black as ink, without any superfluous decoration, the red brick wall is full of devastation, only a throne of white bones, standing alone on the Tower of Babel made of countless strange shapes of white bones, like the North Star in the sea of bones, so pale, so dazzling.

The Throne of Bones is the "vein" of the Primordial Owl's Thinking Palace, and it is the key to determining who controls this body. Therefore, the Primordial Owl has always held it firmly, and Orkus is in no hurry to cross the line, unless the Primordial Owl spirit rages out of control, he will always swim leisurely on the other side of the sea of blood, or add new inexplicable murals to the dazzling and luxurious walls.

The white light flashed in the temple of thought, and the original owl sat on the throne of white bones, supporting his head with his right hand, watching Orkus constantly sketch on the wall with his pale hands, and it could be seen that he was drawing the wings of a black wing, the feathers were so detailed, as if he had really stuffed a black wing into the wall.

"Are you sure it's the 'Blood Thirster'? That thing is not a low-level class, it stands to reason that the seal between the human world and hell is more effective against the more powerful the demon, and the time for the 'Demon Hour' has come, even if this thing comes, it should not have any combat ability. Yuan Xiao stepped down from the throne and stood at the junction of the sea of blood and the white bones, watching the sea of blood surge, but he could never cross the white bones.

"Who told you that the 'magic hour' is over?" Orkus didn't look back, still sketching his feathers on his high stool. "Let me tell you, according to my feelings, all the seals in the human world are at least about ten percent weaker at the same time, that is to say, from now on, the time of the 'Demon Hour' will be expanded by at least three days, and the demons who enter the human world will also be a little stronger. ”

Rao is original owl's heart is like a rock, and he is also shocked.

"Weakened the seal at the same time?" the 'council' did it?" asked Yuan Xiao in a deep voice.

"I don't know how many years I've been gone, who knows what they're thinking now, maybe they want to establish a great harmony between hell on earth and promote common progress?" Orkus turned his head and smiled strangely and exaggeratedly, the corners of his mouth almost reaching the base of his ears.

"Listen to what you mean, I really want to go back, the great Orkus, the former thirteenth councilor, the actual owner of all the powers of hell, the strongest demon monarch in the ages, the destroyer of life, the destroyer of scheming, the mystery of the abyss, Bala Balabala, what other name have I forgotten?"

"It's easy to say, it's quite complete, except for 'Bala Bala Bala', there is one less, 'the savior of the original owl'. Orkus stopped his paintbrush and flew off his chair with a hippie smile, his handsome face still wearing an unpleasantly exaggerated smile. He stepped on the sea of blood, and the originally churning and turbulent sea of blood was as calm as a piece of red paper in an instant, and only where Orkus stepped on it would there be a slight ripple.

Orkus walked to the opposite side of the original owl step by step, and the tips of the noses of the two men almost collided together, but the distance in front of them was like eternity.

"Sometimes I'm wondering, should I kill myself immediately after signing the contract, and taking you, who is probably the most troublesome demon, to die, is the best solution?" Yuan Xiao crossed his arms and looked at the inscrutable former demon monarch in front of him.

"Then you think too much, before signing the contract, I gave you 'laziness' - 'immortality', it's hard for you to really want to die now, it's not a joke, it's really difficult. Orkus spread his hands and continued, "But maybe it's fate, Yuan Xiao Xiaoyou, you must know that no one has been able to awaken for many years of 'jealousy' - 'Demon Presence', let alone being able to directly summon someone of my tonnage with strong spiritual willpower, I naturally can't let go of this good opportunity." Orkus shrugged, a look of glee.

"So why did the remaining twelve councillors kill you and kick you out of the council, so why do you still have your soul left? The original owl seemed to be sarcastic, but in fact, he still wanted to use more of Orkus's words.

"Because I'm stronger. Orkus crossed his hands on his hips and laughed.

Hara was not disappointed by this answer, and he didn't expect it to make Orkus reveal his secret, this guy was like a time bomb that could never tell when it detonation, planted in his brain.

At the beginning, Yuan Xiao was in danger, and at a critical juncture, he awakened his first "Seven Sins Sect" ability-jealousy of the "Demon Presence", and used the dead horse as a live horse doctor.

The principle of operation of the ability of "Demon Presence" is that the user consumes all the mental power, performs a will judgment, and then temporarily attaches the corresponding level of demon to the body for 30 seconds, and has the full ability and physical strength of the demon. After thirty seconds, another consciousness verdict is performed, and if passed, it will lose mobility for at least three days before slowly recovering. But if it doesn't pass, then your physical body will become the mother body of the demon, and a new demon will eat all the energy of your physical body and be born.

And the original owl summoned this theoretically impossible demon monarch, the thirteenth member of the "Abyss Council" - Orkus. At that time, Orkus had just suffered a betrayal, and the specific reason and experience had never been told to the original owl, the original owl only knew that this demon monarch who could turn the world upside down with a raised hand, was beaten only with a soul remnant, and did not have any physical attack ability, after being summoned by himself, he helped solve the crisis of the original owl at that time, and wanted to directly occupy this body for reincarnation.

But the problem also arises, Orkus found that the willpower of this ordinary human is simply monarch-level, and although he is very good at mind control, he can't get any cheap from him. The two of them started a big battle in the spiritual world, and the final result was that no one could help anyone, Orkus couldn't seize the dominance of consciousness, and the original owl didn't have the ability to kill Orkus's strong soul.

As a result, at Orkus's suggestion, the greatest demon monarch of the past and the most powerful demon hunter of the future signed a pact that would be famous on earth and in hell.
