Chapter Eighty-Seven: In the Process
267
Jason Beria bounced off his seat, his scalp exploding, cold sweat soaking through the clothes on his back.
As an "Apostle of Desire", he was almost shaken by his own unconcealable fear - in the information about the demonic path that is widely circulated in the extraordinary world, there is a relatively common concept that from the "cold-blooded" onwards, all the feelings of the extraordinary people of the demonic path will gradually disappear, there will be no fear, no panic, only plundering and abusing life will bring some rare happiness.
This is certainly true, but there is one exception.
The demon of "fear", the angel of the abyss - Edward Vaughn!
Her very existence is fear, not only creatures can easily detonate fear by her, but even demons who are considered "bloodless and ruthless" cannot perfectly control their emotions in front of her!
It's ridiculous to hear that the organizations and churches on the human side still think that she was once a human being, such an extremely terrifying existence, her essence is very different from that of human beings, how can it be that the weak and incompetent things of human beings have changed?
One glance, just a glance of light strokes, let that desire clone of his own desires directly dissolve itself in fear.
Thankfully, she didn't see herself!
"Praise, praise the great Mother Tree, phew, you are, you are the father of demons......"
Jason Beria finally straightened his tongue, he dragged his limp legs to his feet, and sat down in a different chair.
He slowly recited the honorific name, slowly calmed down, and finally completely controlled the fear that was surging in his heart.
The spacious living room was empty, with no lit fireplace, no lights, no breathing and no footsteps. The house bought under a false identity has been quietly emptied, everything of value has been sold, everything that has been alive has been killed, leaving only the fake portrait in the living room, and he can escape at any time.
With the protection of the Mother Tree of Desire, the task of assassinating Duke Negan should be at hand, but the real difficulty is after this: according to the orders of the patriarch, the Abyss Angel is led into the trap of the Belial family that has been arranged, and the Demon King and the Mother Tree will inflict divine punishment on her.
Under the protection of the mother tree, no matter how his side is arranged, the crisis intuition of the abyss angel will not be triggered.
Kill her to take the Patriarch's potion digestion one step further.
When the credit of the decoy, plus the reward for assassinating Duke Negan, he was also promised the opportunity to become a demigod himself!
There must be warriors under heavy profits, and Jason Beria is that warrior. He finally reached out and checked the spell he had placed close to him, it exuded a chilling aura near his heart, it slowly dispelled the fear in Jason Beria's heart that was almost a "seed", and gave him great courage.
Fortunately, I used it early, otherwise......
He suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have killed all the animals sooner. Otherwise, you can listen to their screams and calm down now. Beria exhaled a breath that smelled of blood and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, ready to hunt the detectives as planned. After a few seconds, his figure suddenly disintegrated and vanished like a pool of viscous shadows.
The glow of the red moon fell through the crystal clear glass onto the carpet, merging with the near-black blood stains on it.

"Don't you want me to go in with you?"
"No, I'm sorry to trouble you to make another trip."
After Crane immediately went to the police department with a threatening letter, the two returned to Minsk Street. A dozen meters in front of Crane's residence, after an hour's interval, they said goodbye to each other again.
"Don't let me just walk with my front foot and start a fight with my back foot." Edward couldn't help but quip.
Crane smiled bitterly: "If it were me, I would indeed plan how to murder them one by one tonight, but I have already reported it twice, and the police and even the Orthodox forces should start paying attention to our side now." ”
"It would be too unwise to do it at this time, it would be easy to be directly exposed to the eyes of the church, not to mention that he doesn't seem to have the strength to kill us directly, otherwise he wouldn't have been dealing with Mr. Issinger for so long."
"Then do as you say."
Edward also had something she wanted to do, and she wanted to make sure that a demon had escaped from under her nose just now, so she naturally agreed.
Before they could reach the fork in the road where they should be separated, as they walked, Crane saw a figure wandering back in front of his house with the help of a gas street lamp stained with a little rain.
Crane felt a pang in his heart, and then relaxed, for he recognized who the visitor was.
It was Stuart, a bearded, middle-thin private detective, an admirer of his own.
Nor can we be careless...... What if the Demon's follow-up has abilities similar to those of the Faceling? Crane gripped his cane, slowly approached, and then shouted tentatively.
Detective Stuart turned his head and said with a little nervousness and panic: "Mr. Moriarty, I have received a threatening letter that reads: 'You are all going to die! ’”
"You got it too?" Crane blurted out in surprise and reasonably.
Stuart's eyes widened suddenly: "You received it too?" ”
"Yes." Crane nodded solemnly.
And not just one...... He added silently.
"What should I do? I went to Mr. Stanton first, and when I heard that he had been attacked, I came to you quickly, and oh, thank God for the protection, I almost left early! Stuart blurted out.
Crane pointed to the door, "Let's go in first." ”
Then he looked at Edward, feeling that the other party's expression was a little confused in the night: "Then let's go first." ”
Edward looked at Stuart, the human who was inexplicably afraid to make eye contact with her. The abyss angel's mind moved slightly, Stuart's expression suddenly became flustered, and the accumulated fear seed was easily detonated by the demon who was close to him, and his emotions that were already on the verge of the limit suddenly got out of control, and his mind was occupied by madness, he suddenly pulled out his gun, and at this extremely close distance, his muzzle was directly on Crane's forehead!
Crane didn't expect the other party to suddenly collapse, and he didn't have time to react, watching him pull the trigger with red eyes!
Bang!
Stuart's gun exploded, and the fragments and gunpowder burst out, leaving many small wounds on his hands and face. He took two steps back and sat down on the ground, gasping for air.
Edward let go of his hand, and the muzzle of the gun, which had been pinched and blown up, fell from her hand and fell to the ground with a crisp thud.
It is indeed the apostle of desire, and it is indeed a demon who has done it.
She pulled a squarely folded handkerchief from her pocket, slowly wiped the gunpowder residue from her hands, and then the handkerchief spontaneously combusted and scattered to ashes. Edward glanced at Stuart, who was a little delirious after the outburst, then looked at Crane, and said disapprehantly:
"He had accumulated enough negative emotions in his heart to make him lose his mind."
"But it's fine now."
Crane was so frightened that he forgot to breathe, sweat slid down his forehead unconsciously, it was the first time since he came to Beckland that he was so close to death, so caught off guard.
- Before that, no matter what kind of crisis it is, there is at least a little time to react!
It happened so quickly and ended so quickly that Crane didn't even have the slightest joy for the rest of his life, and he hadn't even begun to be afraid. Crane took a deep breath, inhaled, exhaled, inhaled, exhaled, and then asked with some hesitation, "Will this leave him with any bad after-effects?" ”
"Maybe, I've had nightmares for a while, but since he wasn't directly scared to death, it's not too serious."
Out of the corner of his eye, Edward glanced at Stuart, who was sitting on the ground, and said goodbye to Crane with a pleasant face: "Then I'll go first, I hope you spend this night safely." ”
Crane didn't think of how to reply for a while, he watched Edward walk away step by step, and watched the other party's back disappear completely, only to feel that he could finally catch his breath again.
He quickly cleaned up the scene and picked up the dazed Stuart. Just then, another detective, Kaslana and her assistant, along with several other detectives, also came from the other side of the street.
She and Crane looked at each other, and helped set up Stuart, winking at Crane and motioning for him to come in.
A group of people entered the living room, set Stuart aside to calm himself, and they briefly exchanged information, eagerly expressing their anxiety and fear. It wasn't long before the doorbell rang again.
The light doorbell sounded like a basin of cold water poured over their heads.
Stuart seemed to react a little, he raised his head, looked around, and whispered blankly, "What was I doing......
The official Extraordinary has made a move? Crane breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the revolver, and approached the gate.
As soon as he grasped the handle, his mind was already in the shape of a man outside the door: Eisinger Stanton, with gray temples and a thin face, wearing a deer-hunting hat and a black coat.
The detective's face was a little pale, and his left arm was raised above his shoulder.
He's all right! Crane was happy at first, but then became cautious - he still remembered that the "Master of Secret Puppets" Rosago had become a familiar policeman to cheat the door.
Clarian pressed his finger to the trigger, pulled the door open, and took two steps back.
Isenger Stanton smiled and nodded at him, "Thank you for visiting this afternoon, otherwise I might not be able to continue playing hide and seek with that demon if I am injured."
"You saved my life."
This...... Could it be that the correct interpretation of "it is appropriate to visit Issinger Stanton" is that going to him this afternoon will help him out of danger? And what about the "good place to visit" in the next few days? Staggered homicide scenes, not suspected? Crane was a little sneering for a moment.
He did not let his guard down and got out of the way: "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Wait a minute." Isinger suddenly lowered his voice and laughed, "Do you want to discuss the topic of the Extraordinary in front of the Stuarts?" ”
So you so naturally mention the Extraordinary One to me? Also, the fact that I was able to stalemate with the owner of that demon dog for more than ten minutes is enough to show that I am not an ordinary person...... And I've also provided advice that deliberately points to demonized animals...... Crane quietly trailed Isenger Stanton by two steps.
Upon seeing this great detective, Kaslana and her assistant Lydia immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Stuart and other private investigators also showed reassuring expressions.
The private detectives asked about his condition, and there was a little buzz in the living room. Ichengh was still composed, and he told everyone to calm down first, and he had to discuss the countermeasures with the two detectives, Kaslana and Sherlock. His long-accumulated prestige made the detectives sit down separately without refuting it.
After entering the living room, Isenger glanced back and asked thoughtfully, "What's wrong with Mr. Stuart?" Looks like he can't give up, has he encountered that villain? ”
Kaslana shook her head, and Crane thought for a moment before replying, "He's a little emotionally broken, but he should be fine now." ”
Emotional breakdown...... Issinger thought of something, and his expression was slightly serious.
The wooden door closes, and the living room becomes a confined space, and Crane suddenly realizes that this is a good time to use items such as "biotoxin bottles", and then he thinks of Detective Stuart's mental breakdown, and begins to be alert, for fear that the other two people also have the seeds planted by the "Apostles of Desire" in their psyche, and they will suddenly attack when they lose their vigilance.

Back at the villa, after a spiritual exchange, the Decayed King, who was reading a book, answered her.
"You ask the Apostle of Desire." "He's on the second floor of Crane's house, and there should be a fight right away." When you mobilized that human's fears just now, he was almost scared to death on the spot. ”
"The Sword Comes"
“………………”
Edward was silent, and she and the Decayed King looked at each other without saying a word.
"I feel like I've been tricked." The angel of the abyss said depressedly, "The mother tree of desire and you." ”
"No way."
The King of Decay continued to read unfazed: "The opportunity we have been waiting for has come. Now you have to think about how to pretend to know nothing, and then logically discover that Belial, and logically use him to enter the Belial family. It should be a net of heaven and earth now, just waiting for you to take the initiative to go over. Pray to the gods outside the sky and fight the strong in the same path and sequence? The current patriarch of this Beria is also quite bold. ”
"After all, I've been in the person of Sequence 2 for more than a thousand years, and it's only normal to have the idea of replacing it."
"I'm not going to do it this time."
The outer god said to one-fifth of himself: "The current patriarch of Belia will definitely die, our promotion will be successful, it doesn't matter how the ritual is, and the spiritual overflow is just a matter of pretending." ”
Edward smiled, "If you make a move, then I'm afraid I'll be considered the Outer God's Collector." Being a roller for yourself sounds quite interesting. ”
The King of Decay gave himself a blank look.
"Beria is well prepared this time, and the Mother Tree of Desire will not interfere too much."
"With the power we can muster, victory is not impossible."
"Just make our victory look as logical as possible."
A consensus was reached, and they ended the exchange without a hitch.
Opening his eyes, the Abyss Angel looked at his crystal chandelier, his gaze shifted slightly, and fell on Amun, who was concentrating on studying the Rubik's Cube in the living room, he was now able to restore three sides, and he did not rely on extraordinary abilities at all.
"Amon."
She spoke: "The people of the Beria family are beating my mind and blinding my sense of crisis. Are you interested in going to the Demon Family's territory with me on the premise of letting everyone die? ”
Hearing this, Amon slowly stopped twisting his hand and made a contemplative movement.
After a few seconds, the Sequence 3 "Deception Mentor" turned his head and smiled with interest, "My pleasure. ”
TBC
————————
The end of the double watch!
Addendum: As mentioned above, the sequence 3 Amun, who was looking for his old love in the Southern Continent 158 years ago, has been crushed and fed to the typist, so now the typist is 3, and there is the highest sequence of Amun.
