115. The last insurance
Really, Mr. Merlin? ”
As soon as she heard Merlin say that her father was still saved, Alice suddenly raised her head, and her big eyes that were still full of tears flashed with hope.
"Well, if it's not the worst outcome, then there is still salvation."
Merlin nodded, and replied that he didn't dare to overly say it.
The biggest danger of this kind of thing is actually its unguardable secrecy, the incubation period of the heart demon is to lure the evil thoughts and desires in the heart of the parasite little by little, at the beginning it is often to lure the parasite to do something petty, and then gradually escalate the evil.
For example, at the beginning, it was just a thing in the store you fancied, but you didn't have the money, but you wanted it very much, and the demons in your heart amplified the emotion you wanted, so that you couldn't eat and sleep if you couldn't get it.
At this time, there are two choices in front of you, one is to insist on morality, work hard to make money, and finally succeed in getting that thing, while the other is to violate morality, take the wrong path, find a way to steal or rob, and then get that thing.
Immature demons don't have the ability to make decisions for you.,It's the parasite himself who finally decides whether to choose one or two.,Unfortunately, the people who choose one are often a minority.,There are even more people who choose two.。
And then it's just a game of choice.
Merlin had heard the same sentence in his previous life, "Women's clothing is never as long as zero times and countless times", this sentence is a joke, but it is also true.
Humans tend to make the most prudent choice the first time, and once they make an exception, it is much easier to make the same choice the next time.
So, after a few consecutive elections, the demon has eaten a lot of money, and the temptation it can give when it grows is more, and the moral defense line of the parasite is almost gone, and there is generally no turning back at this time.
Because from beginning to end, the demons have only done a little bit of tiny work to amplify desires, and all choices are made by the parasites themselves, so the parasites will not suspect that they are disturbed by something, and they will naturally not be able to perceive the existence of the demons, and it is often only when the demons finally retaliate that they will be shocked to find that there is such a terrible thing in their bodies.
In the eyes of outsiders, such a change of the parasite is completely that this guy is willing to fall and consume his heart, and those ordinary people who don't know what the demons are at all will not think of such a thing as a demon.
In addition, at this time, the perception of outsiders may be further exacerbated, and the negative emotions of the parasitic person may increase.
After all, if your family friend suddenly turns into a bad person, what will you do to him?
Is it to tolerate him, understand, and persuade him to turn back? Or do you feel ashamed, and you can't wait to beat him, cut off relations with him, and stay away from him in the future?
If it is a petty crime of petty theft, then most people may persuade him to turn back to goodness, but if it has reached the big crime of murder and arson, contact with him at this time may lead to fire, so how many people can pull him at this time?
That's probably not much, right? Except for their closest relatives, most people should choose to retreat and try to stay away from that evil person, so as not to be affected by him.
This is the nature of human beings to seek advantage and avoid harm, if you think about it rationally, in fact, most people can still figure it out and express their understanding, but the almost crazy parasite who has been bewitched by the demons can't be rational, he will feel that his friends have betrayed him, and it is not him who is wrong, but the world and so on.....
In short, he was riddled with negativity, and his demons grew, and finally he was completely devoured by his demons and became a human demon driven by his demons.
This is the step when the demons of the heart corrupt ordinary people, as for the transcendental?
Most of the transcendents are still human, if they don't have a certain understanding of the demons, it will not be much more difficult for the demons to erode them than it is for an ordinary person, and it may even be easier for the transcendents who control the power to indulge their desires.
The power that those transcendents are proud of is useless in this kind of psychic level contest, even if some transcendents have the ability to look directly at the soul, but the heart demon is originally grown from the soul of the parasited, the two are of the same origin, ordinary soul exploration has no use at all, and the witchcraft or magic that can effectively detect the existence of the latent heart demon is all high-level, and it is not at all controllable by ordinary transcendents.
It is precisely because of the powerful hidden latent nature of the heart demon and the silent erosion of moisturizing things that it is particularly difficult, and in the battle between humans and the abyss, I don't know how many people have overturned in the hands of the heart demon.
But the heart demon is not invincible, once the heart demon is exposed, then the heart demon in the latent period still has a way to target.
And the way is difficult to say, and it is very simple to say that it is simple, as long as you have not been tempted by the demons, you have always chosen one of the multiple choice questions of the demons, and you can choose the positive option, so that the demons that have not been supplemented by negative energy and sin for a long time will not let alone take root, and you will be starved to death if you drag on for a year or two.
It's just that this is easier said than done, just like studying, everyone knows that studying hard to get into a good university can laugh for a lifetime in the future, but how many people can make up their minds to study seriously?
Even if you really know the existence of demons and have been on guard, once you are not careful, you may still overturn on the spot.
The original owner is a good example, he knew that he had a demon in his body for a long time, and he has been careful to treat it carefully, as far as possible not to produce evil thoughts, but his life experience is too bizarre, and there are too many things on his body, and he really can't help himself.
Not long after birth, he was abandoned by his own parents.....
The sister who raised him was his biggest enemy.....
He is obviously the prince of the empire, and he should bear the responsibility of revitalizing the empire, but he is cursed, and every night he will become a terrible monster that everyone dislikes and hates, and there is no hope of recovering the country....
The maid who takes care of her is also a big man, a dignified sword saint, the future grand duchess, but she has been willing to be a maid for such a down-and-out prince for more than ten years, this is said to be no scheme, do you dare to believe it?
.............
The original owner is typical of thinking too much, even if he has always been rational and can be indifferent to the temptation of the demons, but the negative energy accumulated in his heart is still explosive, leading to the final demon backlash.
However, the original owner is actually not without a way back, Cynthia has already given him the ultimate insurance in the face of the demon backlash, that is, the pendant necklace in Merlin's hand now.
The heart demon is the creation of the abyss, even if Cynthia is a sage-level wizard, there is no good solution for the heart demon, which specializes in the mind, after all, the heart demon is one with the soul of the parasited, if it is forcibly separated recklessly, Cynthia can still do it, but in this way, the soul of the original owner will definitely suffer a heavy blow, and it may directly become a demented vegetative person, and this result is obviously difficult to accept.
The only thing Cynthia can do is to make this necklace that can transfer people's consciousness and give it to the original owner, this necklace can't protect the soul of the original owner from the hands of the demons, but it can save the consciousness of the original owner, as long as the consciousness is held, then only Cynthia will find a way to resurrect the original owner.
It's just that Cynthia also explained in advance that the resurrection technology she controls is based on the resurrection of the elven race's tree of life, and the resurrection will definitely not be human, but only elves.
In other words, once resurrected, you will definitely no longer be human.
Such a result is not bad in the eyes of Cynthia, an orthodox wizard, after all, humans are too weak and short-lived in her opinion.
If you can resurrect your brother as a pure-blood elf, then not only will the problem of the curse of the demon king, which was originally a headache, be solved, but even the problem of the life span of your younger brother will be solved, which is simply not great.
It's a pity that the original owner doesn't seem to agree with Cynthia's approach, he is a staunch humanist, and he would rather die as a human prince than become an alien and survive, so until Merlin finally came through, he still didn't choose to activate the witchcraft on the chain.
Just like Merlin's last chat with the remnant of the original owner, the haughty human prince finally calmly chose to dissipate and entrusted everything to Merlin.
For Merlin, who has successfully solved the problem of demons, he naturally doesn't need the power of this necklace, so now he can go and see if he can save Alice's father.
Although Cynthia, the witch, will definitely not give Alice the resurrection quota that originally belonged to Merlin, but when little Lori awakens the power of the gods when she becomes an adult, she should have a way by herself.
"Now you are willing to go home, don't be afraid, everything is with me?"
Merlin asked Alice with a very confident look.
The little Lori who was almost blindly described by Merlin was relieved now, she didn't resist, and began to work for Merlin.
So, the tall magic ace mount hit the road again.
This was Merlin's second visit to the East Side of Cornwallis that impressed him.......
