Chapter 6: The Devil: Until Eternal Hibernation
"Demonic Agent ......"
Russell muttered and repeated.
From this sentence, he chewed a coldness that bordered on malice.
The inferior glanced at Russell.
He was silent for a moment, but still sighed invisibly.
He whispered, "Part of the reason why the minister asked you to come with you is to familiarize you with the process. β
"The process of signing?"
"That's right. If I'm to be killed one day, it's up to you to go this way. β
The inferior said flatly: "At that time, you will also bring new people and introduce them to all this."
"By the way, the person who led me back then was 'Winter'.
"But I'm never going to be a demonβ"
As he spoke, the inferior pushed open the narrow door in front of him.
The bright white light pierced and made Russell's eyes squint slightly.
Russell was a little surprised when he saw the almost completely "white" room.
All that was left for the prisoners in this room was six black floor tiles. Most of them were pressed under the bed, and only a few were on the side of the bed, leaving him with a narrow space to sit on the edge of the bed.
He reacted quickly......
This is because they are coming to visit each other, or because the other person's signing time is approaching, so the color of the other floors in the room changes.
There is no need for coercion, and there is no need for admonition. With just a few clicks of the button, you can artificially control the opponent's movement space.
And sitting on the bed was a middle-aged man with short black messy hair.
He wears black-rimmed glasses and rabbit ears that stand tall and gives him the feeling of a gentle and good man.
He sat down on his bed with his head down...... When he heard the door open, he looked up.
After seeing his face clearly, Russell froze in place.
His face was frozen with ice, and his face was as pale as a corpse.
ββ¦β¦ Oh, came to see me? β
The black-haired middle-aged man, codenamed "Winter", showed a gentle smile: "There are still newcomers."
"It's not easy. Does the Special Operations Department still exist? β
"If the devil is not eradicated, it has a meaning of existence."
The inferior replied.
He sat on the table opposite Winter, picked up the pen and paper he had prepared in advance from the table, and interrogated the other party as if he were tortured.
"Your name?"
"Hibernation."
The man, codenamed "Winter", replied so calmly.
It wasn't his name as a human being, it was the name of his psionic powers.
- The one who lives in this shell is no longer the old minister of "Winter", but his spiritual energy that has gained self-awareness.
"What were the results of your most recent medical check-up?"
"Seven levels of red, one level of blue."
"I'm in good spirits. Is there anything wrong with the body? β
"I feel more and more sleepy...... When you're gone, I'll be going to sleep. β
"That's not going to work, you have to hand in the chips."
The inferior replied flatly.
The "hibernating" demon glanced at Russell curiously: "Is it for him?"
"Such a young kitten...... Such a blank container. β
"I'm twenty-six."
Russell couldn't help but argue.
The other party was a little surprised: "That's really young." You're the same age as Scream. β
"Shout?"
"He's talking about my psionic powers."
The inferior man calmly explained while writing and drawing on the paper: "My psionic energy is called 'Cry of Pain'.
"I told you. Demons are no longer human...... What they see is no longer your body, but your spirituality. Therefore, if demons are communicating with you, then they are actually communicating with your psionic energy. It can also be understood as the so-called 'divine friendship'. β
ββ¦β¦ I've heard you say many times that demons are no longer human. But I didn't really realize it until now. β
Russell muttered.
But he soon realized that something was wrong.
He looked at the inferior in amazement: "You ...... this year Twenty-six?! β
The mature and cold temperament of the inferior, the crisp and neat acting, and the always frowning brow...... Russell thought he was at least in his thirties, but he looked younger.
Unexpectedly, he actually looked older?
"Can't you?"
The inferior raised his head dissatisfiedly and looked at Russell: "I'm the same age as you."
"When I joined the Special Operations Department, I wasn't much older than the minister."
The minister here is obviously referring to the delphinium, not "winter".
"Although you are the same age, your mental state is obviously different."
However, the demon who was "hibernating" on the side pointed at this: "When Scream entered the Special Enforcement Department back then, it was like a beast. Every day he shouts things like 'go die', 'I will never let you die well', 'I want to die' and so on. It's always on the lips.
"Now it seems that he has become a reliable senior."
"You might as well freeze your mouth."
The inferior replied coldly.
He didn't react much to his black history.
"You're alienated, alienated."
The "hibernating" demon sat on the bed and pointed: "It's time for you to see a psychiatrist, shout." Otherwise, you will become like me sooner or later. β
ββ¦β¦ May I ask? β
Russell suddenly interrupted, "What crime have you committed?" β
"Me?"
The "hibernating" demon said happily: "Kill three people, eat two." If that could be considered a kill. β
"Then how can it not be considered a kill?"
The inferior replied coldly: "If you freeze people in the bathtub, what is it if this is not murder?" β
"It's ice therapy. They were so tired that I asked them to relax. β
The "hibernating" demon calmly replied, "Haven't you experienced it too?
"When I was on the verge of losing control, I got into my bathtub and froze. By the time you crawl out again, all the psychological problems and physical trauma will be gone. β
"yes."
The inferior sneered: "But I also have to put on a ventilator, and someone has to monitor my temperature in real time and crack the ice shell regularly." Otherwise, I'll freeze to death or drown in it.
"And you go straight to those innocent people and freeze them without giving them life-saving equipment...... Then you'll just freeze to death inside. β
"No, you don't understand."
Hibernation shook his head slowly, his expression showing a hint of sadness: "That's not life-saving equipment, it's superfluous things that make it impossible for them to fully receive treatment."
"When you sink into my ice, don't you really want to fall asleep like this? Forget all pain, a peaceful, eternal sleep. β
"That's euthanasia."
The inferior said coldly, "Don't believe him, Ultramarine. The real psychic power of this person is actually to euthanize people - until the actual death, the remains of the 'patient' are continuously restored. This recovery is not treatment and healing, but 'recovery'. Therefore, even psychological trauma can be treated. β
"That's not death."
"Hibernation" once again argued: "If you don't break the ice, it's eternity."
"Their hearts sank in the sea of minds, and their bodies were preserved forever intact in the material world. This is the 'hibernation until eternity', because you only care about the material self and think that it is dead.
"Rather, it was when you broke the ice that the man actually diedβotherwise, he just fell into a peaceful sleep and never woke up. How can this be called death? β
"Got it, Ultramarine."
The inferior looked back at Russell: "Demons can't communicate.
"Not because they kill, not because they eat people. It's because they're not the same species as humans at all.
"It's not that we can't understand the devil in hell. On the contrary, it is precisely because we understand each other too well that we understand that we must kill them all. β
"You say this as if you have nothing to do with demons."
"Hibernation" smiled: "But isn't your mother here too?"
"You were born in this 'hell', scream."
