Chapter 18: The Controller

Ron had only been to Lowell's Club twice, and Linda, the waitress with a sweet smile, already knew the young lad.

When I first met this young man, he was dressed in old fashion, and at first glance he looked like a countryman from a slum, and she even thought of him as a drinker.

And the second time I saw him, this young man was even more unbearable, he had not bathed for at least a week, and there was a faint smell of sourness on his body, and he looked like he was going to die.

And today, Linda meets Ron again.

At this time, Ron's body was covered in dust, and the dust on his collar mixed with sweat, forming a dirt that was difficult to look at. Not only that, but his body was also stained with blood, revealing a pungent smell of blood and saltpeter.

She couldn't help but wonder, what was he going to do?

Theft, robbery, homicide?

Oh, my God!

Linda's eyes widened as she looked at Ron, who was slowly walking into Lowell's club, not knowing what to do now. Do you call the police? Or do you want to make a false deal with him first, and then tie him up directly after calling a bodyguard?

What if he had a gun on him?

What's even more terrifying is that a young man like him is full of interest in women's bodies, and if he takes a fancy to himself and wants to ......

Oh, my God!!!

At this time, Ron noticed the unpredictable waitress, he looked up and smiled, "Hello." ”

"Ahh

Linda screamed and ran away.

Ron's eyes widened, he couldn't imagine if his body had been eroded by demonic power and his body had mutated, or was it because the hideous face had not yet disappeared from his face after the fierce battle?

Incredible.

He took a photo of the license plate through the glass in front of the Lowell Club, and felt that he was ...... Well...... It's actually pretty good, right?

I really don't know what the waitress was thinking about it, but she looked like a normal person.

Once again, under the astonished gaze of the rich children and aristocrats of the club, Ron walked into the Muse's private room.

At this time, his own clothes were neatly stacked on the sofa, and a red rose was deliberately placed on top of it.

Obviously, I only took a shower at noon, but now my clothes have been cleaned and dried.

Is this the treatment of the aristocracy and the rich?

I have to say that being at the bottom of society will definitely hate this damn class, and when you are at the top, no one will choose to change, because it feels really good.

After taking a shower, changing his clothes, and handing over his dirty clothes to a male waiter, Ron sat down on the couch in the club, asked for a glass of fruit wine, and began to think slowly about his shortcomings.

And in this battle, his biggest mistake was to forget all the demon knowledge he had learned.

At first, he completely forgot that the weakness of the monster was the heart, so much so that he fell into passivity for a while George was still chained to his hands and feet.

This is simply not what it should be.

And if he hadn't used his gold finger, it is estimated that he would not have thought of attacking the heart until George completely broke free from the chains, but would have raised his pistol and shot George's head continuously.

The memories of his previous life affected him, making him forget that he was in a strange new world, and it was a fatal mistake to substitute the memories of his previous life into this new world at an inopportune time.

And he made this mistake more than once.

He needs to do some soul-searching.

At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Muse walked in.

"Are you alright?" asked the muse, "are you hurt in any way?"

Ron shook his head, "Thanks for the greetings, I wasn't hurt. ”

"That's good. The muse hung his trench coat on the hanger and took a glass of wine, "This thing ......"

Before the muse could finish speaking, Ron said, "I've done this too badly. ”

The muse was stunned, "What?"

"Actually...... George That is, the demonized young man, who actually lives in the next room. Officer Ford and I had already entered the house and seen the body of George's father. At that moment, Ford and I sensed something strange in the room where we couldn't bump into, the room where we met George. I didn't stop Ford when he banged on the door and entered. If I could have thought about it a little more holistically, I should have thought that there were fears in it that we couldn't deal with. And if we don't break through the door and enter it, but just dig out a hole in the door and look through the hole to see what's going on, we won't be in a dangerous situation. ”

The muse smacked his lips, "Actually, it's not your responsibility, it's just ......"

"Not only that," Ron said again, "but when faced with George, who was not yet fully demonized and still kept a trace of sanity, I was panicked and did not use words to appease him. If he could appease his remaining sanity, he wouldn't be completely demonized, and he would even have a chance to be rescued. ”

Didn't the young man be completely demonized at first? By the time he got there, George was dead.

If that's the case, there may be room for deeper research. Muse thought to himself.

"And the most fatal thing is that I have forgotten what I have learned, how ridiculous. I was determined to study the abyss and the mist, but I panicked in front of the abyss, which was so humiliating. At the first time, I didn't think that the heart was his Achilles' heel, nor did I think of mixing potions, which narrowly allowed him to break free from the chains and kill everyone. ”

The muse looked at Ron with a strange expression.

Hell, I was going to compliment you!

As an ordinary person who has not yet entered the abyss, he was able to calmly deal with this matter with the mixed knowledge he learned when he encountered the demon chaos for the first time, and was even able to temporarily deploy potions to reverse the situation, which is simply the best of the best!

You know, the first time I went to exterminate the demon chaos, I was completely six gods and no master, and I almost forgot my last name, and my teachers and seniors were dealing with it from beginning to end, and I just watched stupidly from the sidelines.

That's it, after the matter was over, the teacher praised himself for not being scared by the monster and screaming, and doing anything irrational, and he was already outstanding among his peers.

And now......

Hell yes.

The Muse took a sip of wine in silence.

Are young people now demanding so much from themselves?

"And ......"

And also?

The Muse took another sip of wine.

Ron said, "When I am determined to be an explorer of the abyss and the fog, I should always keep myself on my toes, as you say, the extraordinary, the soulless. Even while sleeping, I should arm myself to the teeth so that I don't be dragged into the abyss by the claws of the devil. If I had demanded that of myself, I would not have even a decent weapon today. In fact, if it weren't for Officer Ford and Officer Bob on the trip, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive now. ”

When did you first understand this truth? Probably a year after joining the Demon Division, right?

The Muse remained silent.

"By the way," Ron asked suddenly, "what about the elegant lady who followed you?"

Ron remembers that Muse was following Eve when he entered the room.

Finally changed the subject!

The muse looked up and replied, "She, Miss Eve, Eve Jasney, she's investigating the young man......"

"George Kennett. Ron reminded.

"The connection between George Kennett and Bit, what we can be sure of is that George's demonization must have been played by Bit, and perhaps he thinks the same about George as he does about you, and wants to use it as an experimental subject. Perhaps there is a deeper meaning that needs to be verified. Moreover, it will also take some time to deal with this matter, after all, it is always troublesome to die a person. ”

Ron nodded, he suddenly remembered something, and asked with a strange expression, "Was this lady who came here when I was asleep?"

The muse nodded.

Ron suddenly looked embarrassed, he took a sip of his wine, and didn't say anything more.

"Take it easy, it's not something to be embarrassed about. Seeing Ron's embarrassment, the Muse reassured, "People like us, who are on the verge of death, don't really pay much attention to this red tape. After all, in the face of death, any cozy gesture is just an illusion. ”

Ron's face looked much better.

"By the way," said the Muse, who thought for a moment that Ron was already qualified to understand something, he said, "Speaking of Lady Eve, you may have to learn a lot from her in the future." ”

Ron didn't know why, in fact, he had always regarded the muse as his mentor deep down.

"On our way to the transcendent, there are actually four paths. ”

Ron's heart sank, and he remembered the path he had mentioned on the Goldfinger interface. He hurriedly pricked up his ears so as not to miss a word from the mouth of the muse.

This is all knowledge that he has no way to start, and he must cheer up.

"After we have touched the authority of God, in order to give full play to our strength, we have divided into four ways to exert our strength. Destruction, Celestial, Imperishable, and Mastery. ”

"The path of destruction can maximize the use of demonic energy, for example, when I use a firearm and attach demonic energy to the bullets, the bullets fired from the barrel of my gun are at least three times more powerful than others. ”

"The concept of the Heavenly Path is not to make full use of the inner explosive power of demon energy, but to use demon energy to cater to the resonance of heaven and earth to suppress the enemy. The difference between the two paths of heaven and destruction is the difference between the inner and the outer. ”

After waiting a little longer, the muse continued, "But both of these are in the use of demonic energy, and immortality and control are the development of one's own body. The path of immortality lies in tempering the body, and the path of control lies in tempering the spirit. One is physical and the other is mental. ”

Speaking of this, the Muse took a sip of his glass, and said, "Now, you just need to know the difference between the four paths, after all, they have nothing to do with you for the first time after you have walked into the abyss and mist. And I'm telling you this just so that you can deal with some unexpected situation in the future, such as today. ”

Ron nodded, he didn't get to the bottom of it, he just thought about it and asked, "Does this have anything to do with Lady Eve?"

The muse put down his glass, "Because I have found that your mental strength is much stronger than that of others, at least among your peers, you can be called a genius." Therefore, I feel that Lady Eve can teach you a lot, which I cannot teach you, because the path she herself takes is the path of control. ”

The last muse was silent for a moment, and said, "I can't be sure of your future path, I'm just reminding you that this is at least the most suitable path for you at this stage." And when you reach the extreme on this path, you will be honored as the Master. ”
