With apprehension, δ came to the roof of the foundation hospital alone in the evening. sink

Her best friend was already waiting on the top floor, and she watched from afar as the devil stood on the edge of the hospital rooftop, his chin propped up on his arm, looking down at the twilight-shrouded castle, like a demon from the upper planes examining his own toys.

"I'm coming."

δ coughed lightly, indicating that he had kept his promise.

Although it was terrified every time it met with Song Lan, if you think on the bright side, being friends with the devil would at least keep it safe, and even Jasmine.

Song Lan looked down at the scene below the hospital, since the attack on the Scarlet Lord, the consortium has once again increased the intensity of patrols, in less than a quarter of an hour, seven patrol teams have already passed through the street in front of the hospital, and it is not difficult to tell from the marks on the armor that they belong to different knights.

Hearing the voice behind him, he withdrew his gaze, "You're here just in time, I have something I want to ask you." ”

"Just ask." sink

"Where did you hear all those rumors about me?"

The last time he asked this question was in the Seventh District, when he hadn't met Longinus, the former dean of Wisteria Academy, and he didn't have any concept of the upper world in his head, so he rightfully mistook these gossips for the actions of the little black.

But in retrospect, these rumors don't seem simple.

"Someone told us about it."

"Who?"

Song Lan asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have been in prison all the time." ”

Moreover, Song Lan was very sure that he had never seen any shadows, including δ, and even if this blank space was the result of time reversal, then δ and his kind should not have any memory. sink

"It's someone, I can't tell."

δ's shadow swayed beside Song Lan, "They have told us a lot about you. ”

"What about the other than that?"

"They also told me how to get up the ladder and how to get to the upper world, and I could hear whispers from them from as long as I could remember."

Those whispers accompanied her through the most difficult times of her childhood, and also gave rise to a strong belief in its heart that it was going to escape from this cold and cruel world, to reach the world depicted by those voices, to appreciate the grandeur of the stars, and that those voices told it that all the suffering it encountered in the lower world was small and short, and that when it completed its promotion, its consciousness could become an eternal existence.

"When I was in prison, I talked to other people about it, and some of them listened to these whispers, but some of them didn't."

"Why?" sink

"Because suddenly one day, all the whispers are gone."

δ's tone changed, and she glared at Song Lan, as if reproaching him for knowingly asking, "Someone killed them, but on the day all the whispers disappeared, they passed on a message to us." ”

"What's the news?"

As δ narrated, Song Lan suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, which also confirmed the guess in his heart.

"The murderer is you, and you're a complete devil."

δ felt that perhaps this was the only word that could be used to describe Song Lan, because for the psionic beings, those whispers were like gods guiding them forward.

It is not humans who can kill the gods, but some kind of being of the same level as them. sink

"They also warned all of us at the end not to be promoted, the upper world has been ruled by the devil, and all those who arrive there will only end up in death."

This is the last warning from the "Father", and they completely close the passage to the upper world at the moment when the consciousness burns out.

It seems that in this way they can exile the devil to the upper world forever.

But once again, they miscalculated.

When the devil broke into the prison, destroyed the equipment in which they were held, and erased the warden who guarded them, all those who had heard the whispers felt as familiar as if God had returned to them once again.

But then, everyone realized a terrible truth.

The upper world has long been destroyed, and all the gods have fallen into eternal coldness and silence, and the only one who can descend on this world is the devil mentioned at the end of Whisper. sink

Everyone chose to flee in all directions.

Even those of the same kind who have never heard a whisper have a deep understanding of the cruelty and horror of the devil.

And now, for some reason, the devil is pulling it to play a detective game.

An unknown race has lurked in human society.

In all likelihood, they have replaced some of the key figures in the coalition government.

This was what δ had learned from Jasmine, and she hoped that she would cooperate with her in finding the worms one by one.

This may be a huge threat to humans, but for the devil from the upper world, he doesn't need to find the worms at all, he only needs to reduce the entire second sector to a cloud of dust like he did with Hailu Energy Company and the Morgo family, and the latent worms will die. sink

And δ firmly believes that with the brutality of the devil, he will definitely do it, and will even treat the whole process as an after-show.

"Well, let's say you're telling the truth."

After a long silence, Song Lan finally held back a sentence.

δ couldn't find any flaws in his tone, mood, and details of the description, which meant that things were going in the worst direction he had expected.

He may really be saddled with serial murder.

The victims are likely to be a multitude of consciousnesses from the upper world.

It is even possible that the road to the upper world has been closed, that psionic beings are becoming rarer, and that people can no longer systematically sort out a set of methods dedicated to the cultivation of psionic beings. sink

"Let's put my identity behind for now, and I'm asking you to help find out why these worms are there."

"Okay, you can say it."

δ put on a posture of "even if you lie to me, I believe it", and she has no choice or resistance in this unequal dialogue from the beginning.

Otherwise, it will disappear without a trace like those whispers.

"I suspect that there is not only one path to promotion in this world, but also other consciousness bodies in other upper worlds."

Although δ's words pointed out that his true identity was likely to be a serial killer, it also helped Song Lan clear his mind, these worms, devourers, and even some races that had not yet been discovered by them were likely to be on their way to promotion, just like δ.

】

"I see." sink

After only hearing one sentence, δ suddenly realized, "You are going to kill all the consciousness bodies of the other upper worlds." ”

Song Lan really couldn't refute it for a while.

Because as early as the time of the Third Neutral State, he sent an invitation to the consciousness aggregate to "come and cut me if they do meet one day", I am afraid that it will be difficult to end the matter in a peaceful way.

He ruined the last promotion ceremony, and this beam has been completely knotted between them.

However, Song Lan still tried her best to think about the matter, "It's not as serious as you think, I just want to see if I can make more friends." ”

"I believe in you."

δ words contrasted sharply with its gestures, "Say, what do you need me to do?" "Shen

"The last phone call from Feren Morgo leads to the castle, his superior must have disguised himself as a member of some consortium, and I hope you will help me find him as you did last time."

"Jasmine thinks so too."

"But this worm is much harder to find than Feren Morgo, or I haven't seen it yet."δ ”

"There will be an inauguration ceremony within the consortium early tomorrow morning, when most of the important members of the consortium will be present, and this is an opportunity."

"Yes."

δ decisively agreed to Song Lan.

In the past ten minutes, it has been carefully observing the changes in Song Lan's expression, because of its ability, it can accurately perceive the changes in the emotions of creatures, but after several contacts, she found that Song Lan's emotional changes were somewhat unexpected. sink

At least, it doesn't look like a devil's mood swing.

"Then you should rest early, and don't oversleep tomorrow."

Song Lan said.

"I don't need to rest."

δ didn't leave immediately, it seemed to be going through a fierce psychological struggle, and although she didn't investigate the key members of the consortium who had been replaced by worms, she had a premonition of what was to happen from several family members.

After a moment's hesitation, she finally spoke, "Within three days, there will be a civil war in this castle." ”

"I can imagine it." sink

"Jasmine said that if Capello and the Munch family want to provoke a civil war, they will have to face her sister Yueji, which is why they are hesitant to do it, and she is curious why Capello and the Munch family suddenly have confidence."

δ wasn't interested in the civil war of the consortium, and she didn't tell Jasmine about the next paragraph.

"There are also fanatical followers among us who used to think of Whispering as 'God the Father.'"

δ paused for a moment.

It was also a difficult decision for it.

Because once these words are spoken, there is no turning back.

Those "cellmates" who were once locked in the same cell with it may become its enemies in the future. sink

However, now the choice must be made.

Because the devil in front of him seems to be interested in this, and is waiting for its next step.

"They hate you and may take revenge for what you did."

δ made the choice, "and one of them is now in the second district." ”
