Chapter 492: The smell of hairspray is actually very strong
"Virgil. You come over and take a look at this. ”
The girl who spoke was named Kate, and she looked like a bad girl who had gone astray just by looking at her dress, the kind that lived in the slums, with metal rings on her nose and ears, short hair, and a five-pointed star tattoo on her eyebrows, as if she had come out of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo".
Few people know that this girl is a psychic, born with the ability to perceive things on the borders of hell, who has always been plagued by demonic problems, and who has considerable attainments in the occult. Her encounter with a man named Virgil is another story, and at this moment, the two are entrenched in an abandoned ancient underground structure, which may have been a secret underground space of religious buildings centuries ago, and when Virgil rediscovered this space, this is the base from which they plot to rebel against demonic rule.
The man who walked up to her and leaned down to look at the computer screen and Dante were two extremes, like ice and fire, blue and red. From the third installment in the Devil May Cry series, the setting of him and Dante has become a mirror-like opposite. Dante in the red coat and Virgil in the blue coat also have the blood power of the legendary demon swordsman Sparta, and they also walk in the human world under the name of an ancient poet, but they have developed into two completely different people. The bond between the two of them, who are both brothers and rivals, runs through the main axis of the story after the reboot of the third and fifth generations, with Dante's great sword "Rebellion" and Virgil's sword "Enma" undoubtedly the signature weapons of the two.
And in this era, Virgil of this world is still an ambitious young man with a big back who sprays too much hairspray on his hair. Well-dressed and keen-eyed, he is developing little by little the magic contained in his body.
"You've been asking me to search for your childhood lost brother, Dante. We almost succeeded some time ago and last week we found where he lived. Even his sword was found, but his man was gone. And then. I found this on the news......"
The girl points to the photo under the headline.
Front page: [Extremist religious breaks into beverage factory and wreaks havoc]
"The bald man in the surveillance video is suspected of carrying homemade explosives into a famous beverage factory and blowing up the production workshop. In a video that was left behind, the subject claimed to be a warrior from heaven and that the beverage company was trying to pollute the inhabitants of London by producing 'drinks from hell'...... Initial suspicion is related to the well-known terrorist group 'Order,' ......" Virgil whispered, then turned his gaze to a footage taken from the surveillance footage, where the victim was staring coldly at the camera in a red coat with his eyes cold.
“…… It was indeed him, although it was not quite the same hairstyle as in the photo. But it was him. ”
The Majin Son became excited, he nervously spun around on the cold stone bricks, and then threw himself back in front of the computer, he zoomed in on the screenshot of the surveillance, and the box in the corner had a very inconspicuous product logo, which he was familiar with, because this company was also one of his trackers.
In the 21st century of the information age, the devil is also manipulating the human world in more modern ways. And the whole of the Western world is controlled by a huge trust group, a huge economic entity that extends its tentacles to every corner of society. Whether it is the stock and futures market, the central monitoring system of the city. Even the most popular soft drinks on the market are part of the complex industrial composition of this giant group.
And the master of this group is Mandus, the king of demons. Nine thousand years ago. The demon Mandus and his brother Sparta have been given immense power and have ruled Hell. But Sparta betrayed him and fell in love with an angel named Ava. Afterwards. A pair of children of destiny were born in the world.
Dante and Virgil are the legendary Nephilim by blood, a term derived from the Hebrew verb naphal. Literally, it is a "faller", a person who has fallen from heaven to earth. And in the Bible. They are described as "sons of God who have intercourse with the daughters of men, who are the famous men of old" (Genesis 6:4).
And the two brothers are an even more peculiar situation, they are the hybrid offspring of demons and angels. In the story of New Devil May Cry, the mother of the two brothers, who were originally a hybrid of a legendary demon and a human woman, become angels, and the two have the power of light and darkness at the same time, becoming a new species with more strange and unlimited potential. Mandus believed in the prophecy that only Nephilim, who had a mixture of angelic and demonic blood, would be able to kill the Demon King.
The brothers' family was hunted down by Hell, and eventually Mandus found their place of seclusion, killed their mother with his own hands, and banished Sparta for eternity. Under the protection of their father's last power, Dante and Virgil grew up in different places. Unlike Dante, who grew up in an orphanage and had a bad life, his brother Virgil, who was adopted by an upper-class family, has been plotting revenge on the Demon King, and he has formed an underground resistance organization that has been accused of being a terrorist by public opinion, and Kate, who has special abilities, is a high-ranking member he has recruited.
"That's right, the logo is indeed 'Virility'. One of the most powerful tentacles of the damn Mandus, it blew up too well! ”
Virgil clenched his fists, but he immediately fell into doubt: "However, I have not heard of another rebel group...... Do you think this could have been Dante's own doing? ”
"Well, there's no doubt that he was exposed to demons and hell since he was a child...... And judging from our previous investigations, he has been fighting those devils in his own way. Remember the accident at the orphanage where he grew up? ”
"Of course...... Virgil unbuttoned his blue skin, "Mandus doesn't know that the offspring of Sparta are twins, he only knows Dante's existence, and has been searching for Dante's traces for the prophecy that ruined him...... What was he thinking, exposing himself to the sun? Without even Mandus taking action himself, the demon army that pursued him would drown him. ”
"We need to help him." Kate stared at the screen sternly, "The attack on the TV station may be ahead of schedule." But without Dante's power, you can't reveal your identity, and we can't defeat Bob. Barbas ...... Wait, I found it, Dante called himself a 'messenger of heaven' in his message, and there is an official website of this organization on the Internet. ”
In the information age, it is very simple for anyone to create a small website, a domain name, a server, and a simple page, and it does not take too long. The site is brilliantly designed, not like an amateur approach, and Kate tries to look up its server address through electronic tracking, only to find that it points directly to a high-level military satellite.
"Damn, this group of religious maniacs is really not simple."
The official website of the Messenger of Heaven is full of radical conspiracy theories, bordering on cult propaganda, claiming that the devil has taken control of the superstructure of human society and that the lambs of the shepherds should fight back and expel these evil things with unwavering faith. This stupid clamor is not as superficial in the eyes of Virgil and Kate as it seems, and it is more accurate that this group of mysterious conspiracy theorists is right.
They pinpoint a huge economic entity, hundreds of seemingly unrelated conglomerates distributed in all walks of life, but in fact, the hidden relationships form a business giant, a giant trust that can shake the Western world, with assets in trillions of dollars, almost almost the name of the invisible richest man in the world today, the demon king Mandus. And what they know is Mandus's most effective media mouthpiece, the high-level demon, the well-known radical news host known as "speaking on behalf of God", and the topic of conversation Bob . The name of Babas and the number one selling "energy drink" in the world are on their long list of evils.
“…… What the hell are they coming from? ”
Virgil looked all the way, no matter how much power these guys came out of nowhere, there is no doubt that their intelligence gathering power is more than a step higher than the "order" he formed, and he doesn't know more than seventy percent of the list of assets published on the website.
Manduth had more power than he had imagined, and he shuddered slightly. But at the same time, he also took a great interest in this mysterious organization.
"I've left them a message. Hope will not go unnoticed. Kate tapped on the keyboard, "Because the sabotage they predicted on the website really happened, this page suddenly had hundreds of thousands of more visitors and thousands ......of comments."
Ding, halfway through the girl's words, the account she had just registered showed that she had received a message.
“…… How fast the reply?! It's not going to be an auto-reply. ”
The girl clicked on the mailbox, and Virgil leaned over to look at it, and his face turned pale.
[Hello, Virgil the Half-Blood. We've been following you for a long time. - Messenger of Heaven]
From the age of seven, Virgil hid his origins from everyone in the world - except Kate. As long as it is exposed, it will face the endless pursuit of Mandus's demons. Even with the bloodline power that rivaled Dante's and was enough to fight high-level demons, he had always held back. The biggest secret in his life was revealed by the other party in an instant, which made him instantly feel a sense of exposure.
He pushed Kate away a little rudely, and began typing on the keyboard himself, asking who the other person was, or rather, what.
Who are you? - Blade of Order]
Three seconds later, the reply came.
We are messengers of the kingdom of heaven. - Messenger of Heaven] (To be continued......)
