1299: The Non-Existent 'Lurker' (Plus)
And since he didn't join the Holy See at all at that time, no matter what, the people in the Holy See would not suspect Yan Yu.
Who would have thought that Yan Yu, who was an exorcist at the time, had already found a way to dig a pit for the Holy See
Matthew Tie's face was blue and his expression was solemn: "That's right." This kind of infernal brand can only be made by a high-ranking demon. But for more than a hundred years, there has never been a high-ranking demon at all. ”
Yan Yu nodded: "This shows that they have indeed gathered and hid in the shadows." ”
"The previous Flame Demon ......," Matthew said coldly.
He instinctively linked William's transformation into a fire demon and the seizure of the key to the gates of hell with his current discovery.
All kinds of events, under the subtle guidance of Yan Yu, seemed to be connected by an invisible silk thread, which made Matthew have a terrible idea in his heart.
The corners of Yan Yu's mouth twitched, and he was silent and stopped talking.
Some things, rather than saying it yourself, should be associated with it by the other person, which is more credible.
Just like now, there is no need for him to lie with all his heart, Matthew's brain has already filled in the loopholes, and it can also show that Yan Yu is very forward-looking.
Yan Yu was in his head, muttering viciously: "Even if there is really no demon, Lao Tzu has to do something." This adds credibility. ”
"There may really be demons within us. ”
Matthew naturally couldn't hear Yan Yu's heart, and fell into deep thought: "The worst result is that the two hell gate fragments have already been obtained by them, and now they are only the third and last fragment away." ”
Yan Yu's gaze fell on the infernal mark in his hand: "Perhaps, you can try to find that lurking demon." I think you should have a way. ”
"You can give it a try, but it's not very hopeful. Matthew nodded approvingly, but gave Yan Yu a good idea beforehand.
It is also said that if you can hide in such a place as the Holy See and not be discovered, this demon definitely has a few brushes, even if there is a hell brand, there is not much hope of finding it.
"But ......"
Yan Yu suddenly had a bold thought in his heart: "If you can't find the demon, it's better to ...... Create a demon. ’
Without demonic power, this infernal brand would not be useful.
But don't forget, he has the key to the gates of hell, which can transform humans into demons......
This kind of thing was not only specifically mentioned by Murphy when he contacted him before.
And it is also recorded in books.
Hundreds of years ago, when the rebels reached the gates of hell, a few unlucky ghosts recklessly climbed up and tried to remove the key embedded in it, only to be transformed into demons on the spot.
It was not until later that the Holy See summoned the power of heaven through sacrifice, and split the key to the gate of hell into three parts. The power is then dispersed before it can be collected.
Moreover, the holder must also be a person with strong willpower, so that he will not be eroded by the power contained in the key fragment for a short time and become a crazy demon.
In fact, this is also one of the important reasons why the Exorcism Headquarters will put the key in the corner of the treasure house so casually, without fear of being stolen.
Even if you steal it, you have to become a demon, which is equivalent to killing yourself.
Matthew left in a hurry: "I'll try it first, see if I can find that hateful smash, and if there is any news, I will notify you as soon as possible." ”
Yan Yu, who was deep in thought, came back to his senses when he heard the words, but only saw his fleeting back. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "Matthew, you're a good candidate." ”
If it is exposed, Matthew is a demon.
Then the trip to slay the dragon, the news was revealed, and there was an explanation. Later, Matthew advocated the suppression of the exorcist union, and there was a different version.
I have to say, it's a great idea!
Feasibility is high, isn't it
Mission: Subversion of Theocracy (2)
A step of idle chess, but at a critical moment, it came in handy.
Whether the devil is really lurking in the Holy See
It doesn't matter, as long as you want, then ...... Absolutely.
If you don't...... Nothing.
Completion Reward: 5 Skill Points
Failure Penalty: None
Smack
He lit a cigarette and crossed his feet on the table, tiptoe to ring the bell. After waiting for the guard at the door to open the door and come in, he asked, "Where is Vivien?"
The guard replied respectfully, "Captain, Vivien has been on a mission lately. ”
"Okay, I got it. ”
Yan Yu rolled his eyes and waved his hand to close the door. "What the hell is Vivien's calculation...... Stephen, maybe I'm wrong I remember Vivien, it seems that she started a branch with Thor, is it possible to ......"
——
The days of idleness generally pass quickly.
Half a month ago, the Pope informed the other bishops, as well as Yan Yu, to hold a meeting.
The topic of the meeting was the hellish imprint that Yan Yu brought back, and what happened to Matthew during this time.
Matthew did use this thing as a medium to find clues, but most of them were just some bad demons lurking in the City of Hope, and the Holy See did not find any traces of demons.
In desperation, the church could only gather a few people who knew about the dragon slaying to see if they could find out the hidden demon.
It turned out that it was not found.
Matthew had no choice but to give up.
......
On this day, Matthew came to the study, ready to clean up, and went to rest.
Who would have thought that inadvertently, he found that someone had put a parchment roll on the table, rolled up and tied with a red ribbon, and was alone by the lamp by the table.
"Something"
He muttered in confusion, picked up the parchment and tried to open it, but there seemed to be something inside, and it slid out of the parchment with his movements.
"Hmm"
Matthew subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it, and in the dim light, when he saw the thing in his hand clearly, the expression on his face was instantly filled with shock.
He instinctively wanted to throw it out, but the gem that was cold and piercing just now was so hot and terrifying that it stuck to his hand and couldn't shake it off.
"Damn, two copies of the Hell Gate Key"
Matthew growled and threw away the parchment, trying to get rid of the gem that was getting hotter and hotter in his hand. However, the other hand was also stuck after touching.
Who is it
Who is going to frame me?
Who put it here
What should I do
Chop your hands
All kinds of questions swirled in his head, and speculation scrambled to pop up, and Matthew couldn't help but shake his head hard, trying to shake these mixed thoughts out of his mind.
However......
I saw a sudden shock in his arms, and the infernal brand quickly jumped out as if it had been summoned, circled a few times in mid-air, and instantly drilled into Matthew's mouth.
"Damn it!"
He opened his mouth in horror and lowered his head to watch the black lines that spread rapidly from the parts where they touched the gem, and the heat was like magma, flowing up the veins.
