Chapter 17: Interrogation, Answers......
Meg had never seen anything like this before, she had been in an endless world for years, an ordinary town, less than five square kilometers, not much different from the villages in the suburbs of London, and the reason why I say "endless" was because Meg had tried to leave it many times, but no matter how far she moved, after passing through an empty field, she would come back to this town again.
One of the peculiarities here is that the town is empty, even though the houses are spotless, even if there is always fresh stock where the food is stored, even if the sun rises and sets, the wind and rain, there is not a single living thing, not even insects and ants.
Meg felt fear for the first time, she had seen countless cruel punishments in hell, and even torn living people to pieces with her own hands, but she had never felt the fear of this moment. She understood...... My sense of existence is gradually disappearing.
Robert Neville in "I Am Legend" can still watch DVDs to pass the time, can still communicate with his pet dog on weekdays, and he also has the hope that he will broadcast all over the city every day, and will go to the same place every day to wait for another living person to appear.
But Meg had no hope, no amusement for her amusement, she could only watch the sun rise and set numbly, counting the date and time, even if she was such a fierce and cold-blooded demon, in the face of infinite loneliness, there was nothing she could do.
Gradually, she can't count the date, how many days? Years? How many centuries? And what difference does it make to her? Every day is the same, she doesn't know how long she has been here, the demon's almost endless lifespan has become a double-edged sword at the moment, she was glad that she didn't have to suffer the ravages of time like a human after becoming a demon, but now Meg began to envy the shortness of human life.
Finally, one evening, Meg decided to kill herself, she couldn't take it anymore, her body was what she was before she became a demon, an ordinary-looking European woman, she went into the kitchen of a certain room, picked up a knife and began to cut herself.
At least the long-lost pain made her understand that she was still alive, but she still couldn't die...... When the vital features of this body disappeared, she turned into a black fog and floated in the air, originally, there was no second body in this world for her to stay, but it was very miraculous, the cut body returned to its original appearance as if time had turned back, and forcibly pulled Meg into it again.
She can't die, and she didn't go back to hell after turning into black fog, she was imprisoned, which may be the most terrible way of captivity, the cat master's "lonely captivity".
Meg wanted to cry, but in the end she didn't shed any tears, because when she was almost desperate, Wang Xu appeared in front of her eyes.
"What's that...... Master Cat asked me to ask you, have you thought clearly, if you think clearly, come out and talk to us, if you don't think clearly, stay and continue to think. Wang Xu said this in an unfriendly tone.
Meg did not show any hostility, she did not dare to ...... In fact, she even wanted to go up and hug Wang Xu, but she still controlled herself: "Okay...... I say! I'll say everything! Let me do anything! Please don't leave me here alone! ”
Wang Xu looked puzzled: "Huh? He thought maliciously in his heart: It's only been a day or two, what did the cat master do to her in this space...... You can do anything...... This......
A few minutes later, Meg stood in front of the cat master and Wang Xu, at this time she was just a spirit body, and only spiritual people could communicate with her.
The cat master said unhurriedly: "You'd better not try to escape, don't try to play tricks, don't do anything that disgusts me, otherwise you know the result very well." ”
"Yes...... It's ......" Meg's eyes were filled with horror.
"Very good, I ask, you answer, the answer should be concise and clear, do you understand?"
"Understand ......"
"Why is London shrouded in enchantments?"
"It's an enchantment cast by beings far above Heaven and Hell, so that the city will not be interfered with by anything outside of the human realm."
"How could such a powerful enchantment be cracked by Wang Xu's attack?"
Wang Xu interjected: "Hey! What do you mean? ”
Meg didn't dare to slack off, and she didn't care about Wang Xu's complaints, and rushed to say: "The enchantment is mainly to prevent the power of heaven and hell, and I think your ability is not the main object of its defense, so it has a miraculous effect." ”
The cat master continued to ask: "Very good, then, what did you say not to let external forces interfere, what did you interfere with?" ”
"A murderer."
Mao Ye said again: "This murderer...... He's on a special mission, right? ”
"Yes."
"What is that mission?"
"His blood sacrifice has already begun, and will continue for some time to come, it is a ritual for the purpose of ......" Meg paused at this point, looking at her expression in pain, but she could not make any sound in her throat.
The cat's expression changed, and he remembered what Woody had said: "It's okay to tell you, but ...... Only for you, this part of your knowledge and memory, even if the other party has the ability to read the memory, cannot be known, if you subjectively want to tell this concept to anyone, or express it in any form, then you may be sanctioned by 'God', then...... No one will be able to save you. ”
The cat knew that it was very risky to use soul touch to obtain information, and the better assumption was that he couldn't read any memory, and the bad assumption was that after reading, God's sanction would come to him, so he didn't take the risk of reading Meg's memory directly.
Through this questioning, he was more sure that Meg did not know about Jack the Ripper's mission, but wanted to say it, and it was impossible to say it......
"Okay, you don't have to answer this question any further, then, tell me, what is your purpose?"
Meg seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at this time, and suddenly spoke again: "Originally, a demon of my level should not know this, and I also learned this information by accident, I think that if I don't listen to the orders of hell and lurk in this city, I can hunt countless souls in these months, because neither heaven nor hell can interfere here during this time, so this has become my own restaurant." ”
Master Mao said: "Hmm...... I think so...... So, what happened when you went to the police station that night to report the crime? ”
"I possessed John and tied up one of his fellow beggars in that alley, whose name I don't remember...... Anyway, I set up a circle in the alley against King Solomon, and as soon as the policemen were brought by me, I would trigger the spell in the beggar's body when they untied him, so that the souls of everyone present could be obtained. ”
"Oh? But why did you fail? ”
Meg said viciously, "Because of Woody's bastard ......"
"Eh, eh...... Are you talking about Woody the black-bellied conspiracy man with glasses? The cat master interrupted.
"You know him?"
A hint of gloom flashed in the cat's eyes: "Have I allowed you to ask questions?" ”
Meg immediately sent chills down her spine with fright: "Yes...... I'm sorry...... That's who you say. ”
"Okay, go on."
"Woody took the beggar away and lifted my spell and circle, which I only found out after the fact. When I first arrived at the alley, I didn't know why all my preparations were ruined, and for a moment I thought that a hunter was following me, and I thought it would be cheap to stay, so I fled. ”
"Hmm...... Very good. What the cat master meant by this was that he had already finished asking, and the subtext was: "You have no use value." ”
Of course, Wang Xu knew the cat master very well, he picked up a book in his hand, cleared his throat, and began to chant in extremely broken Latin: "Exorcizamuste, omnisimmundusspiritusomnissatanicapotestas......"
This exorcism spell can send demons back to hell, and once a low-level demon like Meg returns, he will be punished twice as harshly as last time, but at this moment, Meg feels how happy it is to be able to escape from the clutches of these two, hell, what a beautiful place it is......
After she turned into black mist and flew into the ground, the cat master said: "I can basically guess what the purpose of Jack the Ripper's bloody feast is." ”
Wang Xu asked, "Oh? But she didn't seem to say anything, huh? ”
The cat master shook his head and sighed: "Hey...... That's why I said that you're a history department, and you're really a fool of things. ”
Wang Xu said unhappily: "Lao Tzu is studying Chinese history!" Specializing in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, is it okay? Is it okay for Lao Tzu to be a 'white dictator' (this title, or this hat was once popular in the early days of liberation)? ”
The cat master said: "Okay...... If ignorance is a sharp blade, you are the martial arts myth of ten thousand swords...... Well...... I'll just explain it, but it's actually related to a certain figure who is about to be born on the European continent. On April 20, 1889, a man who would have a great impact on the course of human history was to be born, and every time such a demonic figure came to this world, there were bound to be many signs, the nature of which was like the 'apocalypse' in the Bible, inevitable and unstoppable! Therefore, this blood sacrifice of Jack the Ripper is a ritual. ”
Wang Xu replied, "Oh...... I see, so who are you talking about? ”
"You don't even know this......"
"Hmm...... I don't know ......."
"I'm not going to answer you, and I'm going to say ......"
Wang Xu interrupted him: "Okay...... I'm going to return to the sect with ten thousand swords......"
