79 The culprit
I continued to flip through the Book of Memory, and the dialogue of the trick and the bite of blood was still going on.
"According to my speculation, when I lose the battle against the demon Li Duo, I will have a twenty percent chance of death." Biting Blood continued, "Fortunately, my luck was not so bad this time, and I hit another eighty percent of the chance, that is, I was injured and retreated. But I'm not sure if the next time I predict the future will happen to me. ”
"Your statement is contradictory. Since the wounds inflicted by the Siren's Blade are incurable, and you were injured by the Siren's Blade in your Prophetic Dream, why are you still unscathed? "Or does it mean that as long as you don't actually injure you in reality, but link the injury to reality through the prophetic dream, this injury can be recovered?" ”
"Not really. It's not the first time I've encountered an injury that can't be healed normally. As long as you live for a long time, you will have the experience of dealing with certain unexpected events. Think of it as the wisdom of the elderly. "However, due to the use of 'special treatments,' although I was able to recover from my injuries, I lost most of my memories of the prophetic dream, and all that remained were fragments and vague impressions. I only know how many days later the other party will attack me in Tianhe City, but I can't remember the more specific time and place. ”
Evil trick said dissatisfiedly: "Can't remember? Wouldn't it be impossible to even take the lead, so we could only passively wait for the other party to attack? And if you can't even figure out the place, the trap will not be easy to arrange. ”
The old god of biting blood replied on the spot, "Don't worry, we still have an information advantage. That's when we knew he was coming, and he didn't know anything about it. Moreover, the information of the ability of the demon Li Duo has already spread in the hidden world, and his own fighting style does not have so many tricks. Even if it's a backhand, I have a way of organizing a must-kill tactic. As long as you and I work together, not to mention defeating us in reverse, even the chance of the fish dying and escaping is infinitely close to zero. ”
"Cooperation is something that is only good for you, and of course you will say it in a good direction. If the odds are so high, why don't you know a few times? Evil trick sarcastically said.
"Don't make me stress that I can only see bad things. Even if there was a 99 percent chance of victory, my prediction would only show a 1 percent defeat. "Besides, this cooperation is also beneficial to you, don't you want a way to maintain human consciousness?" ”
"Of course I do." The evil trick said, "You give it to me now." ”
"Okay, but you have to sign this contract first." Biting Blood took out a black paper and pen from his arms, the paper was covered with red handwriting like blood, and all the terms of cooperation and the price of violating were written like a formal contract document, "I think it goes without saying that you also know that this is a contract with spiritual effect. If you do so, the way to maintain human consciousness that I will tell you later will automatically disappear from your mind. ”
The evil trick took the black paper and read it carefully, slowly scrutinizing the words and sentences of the contract. Bite the blood and wait patiently. After a long time, Evil Trick picked up a pen and signed his name on black paper.
The black paper broke away from the evil hand with a wonderful force, levitated into the air, and then spontaneously ignited out of thin air and turned into ashes.
"And so, the pact is established." Bite the blood nodded, "You go and recover the tentacles of the Fog Demon first, the Tianhe City Security Bureau is gradually eliminating those tentacles." If you drag it out any longer, you may not be able to rise to the level of the main force. ”
Speaking of the back, she walked to the exit of the room and was about to leave. But the evil trick stopped her, "Wait. ”
"Anything else?" Bite the blood back and turn around.
"After the succubus fused the Demon of Mist in White Sun Town, he was killed by the demon Li Duo, right?" "What about the hunter?" I mean, what was the law enforcement warlock stationed in Daytown, what was he doing at the time? Is he still alive now? ”
"Hunter...... I see, is that why you ordered the Fog Demon to go to White Sun? Do you have a grudge against that hunter? "If I'm not mistaken, the black-clad warlock named Hunter was seduced by a succubus two years ago and became her minions. It should be alive now, and it's gotten rid of its charm. I'm not very clear about the more specific things, so you can investigate for yourself. ”
After saying that, he bit the blood and left.
The evil move stood in place as if it had been controlled by the immobilization technique, and it was only after the sound of the footsteps that he had bitten the blood and left that he finally came back to his senses.
Without saying a word, he walked over to the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room. Perhaps it was because he broke away from the physical body and appeared in the form of a demon. What is shown in the mirror is no longer the man who is close to fifty years old and crawling with wrinkles and showing his early appearance, but the appearance of his youth in his twenties, who first met, broke and fought with the hunter.
——
After that, the evil trick began to hunt the tentacles of the Fog Demon everywhere in Tianhe City.
As a new Fog Demon, he was unable to spread his body like the Fog Demon in the past, and now this structure gave him an extremely high density of power, but it made it impossible for him to physically connect to those tentacles through the spreading Fog Demon, let alone give direct orders. Fortunately, he had an instinctive sense of those tentacles, and at a very fast speed, he smashed the tentacles into a collapsing mist one after another. And the mist was absorbed into his body and became his power.
Only devouring those tentacles could increase his strength so quickly, and devouring other spirits did not have this effect. In other words, it's an opportunity he can't afford to miss.
That being said, he actually devours humanity like a demon. The way to maintain human consciousness taught by Biting Blood is to devour human beings together with flesh and blood and spirits in order to "nourish" their own spirits. Ironically, it was this inhumane bloody method that successfully maintained his humanity. Since not long has passed, his crime is very hidden, and the people he has eaten are "only" a dozen people, and the Tianhe City Security Bureau has not noticed the anomaly in the disappearance of people.
While hunting demons against time, he is also busy squeezing water out of a sponge, and learns about the hunter through his connections in the hidden world before his death. How were the hunters seduced, how they aided the abuse, how they were spared from judgment...... Although the Liucheng Security Bureau did not mean to make a big noise, he still heard the news in bits and pieces.
Strange enough, how the bad trick felt about those news, it was not recorded in the Book of Memories. In other words, the mental activity that began with the evil move becoming a fog demon is not recorded much in the Book of Memory. The only thing he knew was that he intended to kill the Hunter after recovering all of the Fog Demon's tentacles.
And even then, I was well informed.
The siren's ability to read the memories of the dead is truly remarkable, and it has helped me so much in the field of intelligence gathering. Thanks to her efforts, many of the mysteries that have puzzled me to this day have been solved.
Why does the tentacles of the Fog Demon still exist, the true identity and form of existence of "Wei Chi", and the cooperation between the purpose, evil moves, and biting blood...... These truths have already been recounted in the Book of Memory, so I will not say more. As for why Biting Blood said at the beginning of the fight with me that he would foresee dreams, the reason is even simpler. She didn't know much information in the first place, and telling the fact that she had a prophetic dream made it easier for me to mess up. It was really set up by her.
I also understood how the evil move was able to restore the injuries inflicted by the Siren's Blade.
The reason is quite simple, the current evil move is the Fog Demon. Although it has a humanoid form, it is essentially an extremely dense "fog". And the fog has no concept of wounds, and no matter how much I attack, it will only temporarily change the shape of the evil move that maintains the human form, and I can recover when I turn around.
Of course, the Siren's Blade is a weapon that breaks through common sense, even if the opponent is fog, it is not impossible to kill. In fact, the tentacles of those fog demons were all killed by me with a single blow. Even if the evil move can repair the "wound", if you are continuously attacked by the Siren's Blade in a short period of time, there will be some kind of invisible injury that accumulates, and eventually becomes unbearable. At worst, he will not be able to maintain his human form, or at worst, he will completely collapse, that is, die.
He was hit three times by the Siren's blade today and didn't die, so it's better to say that it's already very powerful.
As for why I was able to get his spirit fragment just by injuring him, it's not complicated, it's just that Evil Move's physical condition is not very good. In order to be able to recover as many of the Fog Demon's tentacles as possible before the Tianhe City Security Bureau, he devoured too many tentacles in a short period of time, causing his consciousness as a Fog Demon to expand too quickly, and the result manifested in his body. Now that part of his body is distorting into tentacles, and in my experience, even if the Fog Demon is killed by me, it will return to the spirit fragments. So when I shattered his body, the tentacles in his body were also shattered, and they were finally absorbed by the Siren's Blade.
Thinking of this, I suddenly realized, "I see, three fragments of the spirit body, but only two books of memory have been transformed, is it because of this incident......
"Yes, due to his conflict of consciousness, one of the three spirit fragments has a very confused memory. It wasn't his memory as a human, it was the memory of being a Fog Demon...... "The Fog Demon wasn't a demon with enough stellar stellar beings, or most demons do. If memories are described as sounds, then most demonic memories are noise. ”
"There aren't many evil tricks in this book that are mentally active after becoming a fog demon, and it's also because of the influence of demon consciousness?" I asked.
"Well, his perceptual memory is complete, but there is a certain amount of background noise in his mental activity that prevents me from translating it into words. Maybe he doesn't have a sense of it, just like people can't smell their own bad breath. But as soon as this background noise exceeds a certain limit, he loses his humanity completely. She admitted.
"Why did he rejuvenate later...... It's a bit too much to say that he is rejuvenating, why did he change back to his twenties? I asked.
She thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because his self-perception is this age." Spirits will take on a self-perceived appearance. Although he is almost fifty years old, his state of mind is still in his twenties. You should resonate a little bit in this regard, although you are almost twenty years old, but ......"
"I see, I see. Since you are also a spirit, is your self-perception a schoolboy's version of 'it'? I quickly changed the subject.
She really took the bait, "This is what I have changed, and it doesn't represent my self-perception." ”
"Well, yes......" I nodded whimsily, turning my attention to the book.
The Book of Memories also cleared up my other wonders, which was why Biting Blood didn't seem to hold much of my information.
Because that's the "price" she paid for repairing the wounds I inflicted on her in my prophetic dreams. Thanks to this, she couldn't have taken the lead against me, because I was still in her shadows. And although he managed to get the paper bag of meat sandwich buns that I discarded on the way, he probably didn't follow me at that time, but just used his ability to find things such as divination to find things that could be used to curse me. If a warlock of his caliber followed me with malicious intent, even if my awareness of danger and malice was not strong enough to bite blood, I would definitely feel it.
In addition, although I don't know what specific method is used to repair the wound by biting blood, in the end, she still can't rely on that method to predict me repeatedly. It seems that whatever method it is, she needs to be alive to use it, and if I kill her in the prophetic dream, it will be over. Moreover, the person who decides what the foretaste dream will take on is not her, but the future she may experience.
She couldn't have foreseen her future before she had a prophetic dream, and she couldn't predict whether she would be killed by me in a prophetic dream next time. So, she was scared.
If I continue to pursue her in the future, I may not have to worry about her prophetic dreams anymore, and she will find a way not to know about me herself.
Also, there is a very, very important piece of information this time, perhaps the most important information I have ever received......
The culprit of spreading the knowledge of the cyber demon is the eve.
With this vital intelligence, the Security Service can skip a lot of work on the scourge of cyber demon knowledge. I don't know how many people who would have died because of this can survive, and I don't know how much effort can be made in advance to arrest all the culprits.
But...... How can I get this information out to the Security Service?
I don't have any physical evidence, and with my reputation and credibility in the Security Bureau, how many people would be willing to take it seriously, and suddenly go out and say that I can devour the souls of the people I killed, read the memories of the dead, and dig through them to find such important information?
Even if there is a way to prove my ability itself, what can be done to prove that I am not cheating on this matter? To some in the Security Service, I am not so much one of their own as a dangerous person who brazenly moves between them under the cover of the secret law. Moreover, the demon Li Duo, who had been in the company of man-eating monsters, suddenly awakened the ability to devour souls...... What will those people think about this?
Besides, Lieq was vaguely opposed to my hand tracking "its". If he had noticed the powerful means of information I had so far, would he have targeted him?
Then again, the information that the Security Service has never traced has been so easy for me to get hold of...... Could there be something strange about this?
I suppressed my worries and decided to focus on the things in front of me first.
Then I looked at the second Book of Memories.
