In front of my head is a huge mural, depicting the final battle between the gods and demons, in fact, this kind of theme is very common, but almost all the larger churches can be seen, but it is different from the usual version of the gods in all kinds of tall and majestic, all kinds of ugly and obscene demons, although the demons are at a disadvantage in this painting, but none of them show a fearful and cowardly expression, but inexplicably reveal a tenacious perseverance, as if telling the viewer that they will give in from the end, on the contrary, although the gods are in an advantage, but the expression reveals worry, Even fear, as if full of unconfidence in the victory in front of me, it is obvious that this painting is from the perspective of the demons to interpret the great war of the year, I have to admire the author's ingenuity, if it weren't for the scene that year has appeared countless times in my nightmare, I may have to believe the scene in it.

'Whoa.' Suddenly there was a sound of the door unlocking, and then the heavy iron door was pushed open, and an elegant figure walked in slowly, I could hardly see the other person's face, just by that movement I could guess who it was.

'Are you awake?' Anna hesitated for a moment and asked in a whisper.

'Well, how long have I been unconscious?' I asked as I looked up at the sky.

'All day and night...,' said Anna, as she came to the bedside and sat down gently, as she had already changed her gardener's dress, and dressed like a princess.

'You haven't done anything strange to me during this time, have you?'

"Not for the time being, in fact, we still have a bit of a disagreement on how to send you.'" Anna said lightly, the silver moonlight hit her, and the whole picture was a little unreal.

'Not sure if it's time to steam or grill?'

'Poof!' Anna was immediately overjoyed when she heard this, and the smile on her face was familiar to me again.

"You're really interesting, you've come to this point, and you still have the heart to joke.'" As she spoke, Anna shifted her body to me, and the atmosphere around her suddenly became like a sister and brother chatting in the middle of the night.

'What else can I do?' My master used to say that people are happy for a day, and if they are unhappy, if the problem is really serious and cannot be solved, then instead of being painful and afraid, it is better to try to relax yourself.'

'Your master is so open-minded.'

"Yes, it's because I'm too open-minded that I've been poor all my life, and in the end, I can't even afford a coffin when I die.'"

Anna smiled bitterly when she heard this, "Maybe this is the fate that has something to do with us, right?"

'Thinking of your family?'

'How do you know?' Anna turned her head to look at me in surprise, I wonder if it was because of the way she dressed, she looked much more mature and beautiful than before.

"Just look at your demeanor, didn't you ask yourself that you still have parents and a younger brother?"

"You said this, I made it up improvised to deceive your trust, you kid really believe it?" Anna said with a mocking expression.

'The story may be fake, but these people must be real, which can be seen from the look in their eyes when you talked about them at the time, if that is also acting, then my eyes can be completely gouged out.' I said in a firm tone.

Anna was stunned when she heard this, then sighed and said, 'Well, I knew I couldn't hide it from you.'

'It's normal, strictly speaking, the two of us are one, and it's natural for our hearts to be connected.'

'Oh, then why didn't you realize I was lying to you?' Anna seemed a little unconvinced, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face again.

Actually, I was very strange before, obviously you did a lot of flaws at that time, but I didn't doubt it at all. At first, I thought I was on the run, and I was worried about the safety of the princess and her heart, so you took advantage of it. But then I figured out that it was actually because the two of us were one, so I had a sense of closeness to you from the very beginning, which made me subconsciously choose to believe in you, just like many children always naively believe that their parents will not harm them...'

'Sure enough, you'll feel that way too...,' Anna shook her head and smiled bitterly.

Can you tell me what's going on? About you and all this?'

'That's a long story...,' Anna repeated the line she had had in her room again, and for a moment I had the illusion of time traveling.

"Actually, what I said before was true until I entered the part of 'Bezukhov', I was indeed born in a small fishing village near here, and I did have a younger brother, but he did not die from an avalanche, but died here, in the same bed you are lying on..."'Anna couldn't help but tap her fingers on the bed, her eyes full of resentment.

'So Dacula took you here for experiments!'

'That's right, in fact, the information you heard is true, Dacula and they successfully found a Horcrux based on the information left by Houdini, but then the problem came, Dacula's purpose in finding the Horcrux was to use the power of the Demon King to realize its own ambitions, and not to really hope for the Demon King's resurrection, you also know that once the Demon King's soul is released, it is impossible to obey anyone's orders, even Dacula can't control it, so it hopes to find a way to directly capture the power of the Demon King.'

"But it's impossible, if there is such a method, the gods have already used it.'"

'So why don't you say that this old immortal has a set...' Unlike the previous 'adult', Anna at this moment actually spoke ill of Dacula directly, and from her expression she felt that she was both disgusted and a little contemptuous of the latter.

"It actually got inspiration from you, and came up with the idea of transferring the soul of the demon king to a human first, and then this person has mastered some of the power of the demon king, but still maintains the human mind, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

'This... Is this possible? The corrosive ability of the Demon King's soul is terrifying, even many angels and demons can't withstand it, how can ordinary humans do it?' Because of my personal experience over the years, I am confident that I know better than anyone how terrible the erosion is...

'Thank you.'

'What do you say?'

Anna smiled and pulled the collar to her chest, I subconsciously wanted to look away, but then the pattern that emerged from behind the collar completely shocked me.

'Forbidden Seal!?' I couldn't help but blurt out, at first glance, the seal on Anna's chest was almost identical to the one on my body except for the different colors, but when I looked closely, the pattern seemed to be slightly different.

'Almost.' Anna said as she slowly loosened the flower, and the collar gradually returned to its original position.

'Dacula: They have made some improvements to the 'Forbidden Seal' so that it only suppresses the Demon King's main consciousness without restricting its power too much... They tried and tested it hundreds of times to achieve this effect.'

Anna said it very easily, but I understood that behind this sentence was at least hundreds of lives sacrificed for it, and I couldn't help but feel chills all over my body when I imagined the pain that those people went through when they died.

'But... Can that really be done?' Even though there are living examples in front of me, I still find it a little incredible.

Anna shook her head: "Actually, it didn't work, after all, the power of the Demon King is connected to his will, how can you completely cut it off?" In the past two years, the demon king's mental erosion of me is actually quite serious, and sometimes I can't even tell who I am, I guess if I continue like this, I will either go crazy or be completely assimilated by the demon king.'
