Chapter 239: The Endless Eighth Floor (2/4 Guaranteed, Ask for Subscription!) )
"Do you think I'll believe you with just two explanations?"
When Abel heard this, he immediately laughed, "I don't care about anyone's opinion, everything that prevents me from completing the 'commission', whether it is a human or a demon, will eventually be cleaned up by me." ”
"Don't get me wrong, that's not an attempt to gain your trust. It's just for the sake of this woman's liking that I hope you don't make trouble for me, that's all. ”
"Otherwise, I'm afraid that if I accidentally kill you, this woman will not cooperate with my work."
Hayakawa Aki's face was expressionless, "It seems that you are very confident in your strength." ”
Abel put it modestly, "At least for now, if I will, you've died no less than ten times." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Hayakawa Aki's clothes were torn all over the place, as if they had been cut by some sharp weapon.
A cursory examination reveals more than a dozen places.
Hayakawa Qiu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously reached out to grab the weapon behind his back.
But the hand was only halfway stretched before the body froze.
There is a huge death crisis warning him, if he doesn't stop, he will die!
"Good, now it seems that we have finally reached a preliminary consensus."
Abel put down the knife, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth.
"I don't want to see this woman in any danger until I leave the country. If you could do it, I wouldn't show up. ”
"But if you can't, I'm going to do it my way."
"Then Himeno will trouble you to send her home. Oh, by the way, I've already bought it, and I've got this box of cigarettes for you, come on. ”
With that, Abel got up and walked out of the restaurant.
"What kind of demonic power is that? Why don't I see anything? ”
Hayakawa slumped back in his chair, his mind constantly recalling what had just happened.
That feeling of powerlessness and fear, it was the first time he felt it in a human being.
But then again, is that guy really human?
Could it be some demon in disguise?
Or is it a demon?
The so-called 'Majin' is the name given to the demon who occupies the corpse of a human being.
He has the appearance of a human being, but his personality is a demon, and there are only a few exceptions that can remain rational.
There are demons in the 4th class of the Demon Peculiarity that he is in.
"Himeno-senpai is really dating a terrible guy."
Hayakawa Akira smiled bitterly, then carried it on his back, ready to send her home.
And Himeno, who was already drunk, was still unconsciously calling his name.
。。。。。。
The next day, early in the morning, Hayakawa Akira reported what happened yesterday to his superiors - Machima.
Machima is a demon hunter directly under the cabinet, and at the same time leads and cultivates the official Demon Special Operations Section 4.
That is, the pink-haired woman who looked at Abel that day.
Compared with a guy of unknown origin, Hayakawa Aki naturally believes in the power of the official more.
"Abel. A man who was entrusted to protect Himeno. Very strong, unknown origin"
Machima sent someone to investigate as soon as possible, but the results of the investigation surprised her.
Because there is no information about this person at all.
It's like it came out of nowhere.
But apparently this is not possible.
So it is not easy to bypass the Tokyo official and send such a person in without knowing it!
But what will be their purpose?
Is it really just to protect Himeno?
Machima looked through all the information records of Himeno from childhood to adulthood, but still couldn't find a connection.
"Then we can only test it."
。。。。。。
In the afternoon, all 6 people from the 4th class of the magic special were dispatched.
The target is a demon hiding in an inn that has eaten a slice of the Gun's demon's flesh.
The personnel have been evacuated, and they are just waiting for them to deal with it.
And just as they entered the hotel, Abel followed suit.
After all, he wasn't sure what kind of danger Himeno would encounter, and it would be too nerve-wracking if he couldn't even keep the 'side quest' if there was no progress in the 'main quest'.
It's just that when he came to the 8th floor, he found that there were 6 pairs of eyes staring at him!
"Hey, what a coincidence."
Abel greeted everyone and felt a little strange.
Obviously, before he came up, he had already sensed it with his domineering appearance, and there was no breath on the entire 8th floor, so he hurriedly walked up.
But it turned out that everyone was there, and he was exposed.
What the hell is going on?
"Abel?! How did you end up here? ”
Himeno looked very surprised.
The rest of the people were a little excited, could it be that the infinite loop here has been broken?
The woman with yellow hair and horns on her head that Abel saw that day immediately ran up and down one by one.
Then the result that surprised Abel appeared, the person who ran upstairs actually appeared from behind him, and the person who ran downstairs came down from the stairs strangely.
"No, it doesn't seem that the rules have been broken, but that new innocents have just come in."
Hayakawa Qiu glanced at Abel and analyzed calmly.
He probably knew why the other party was here, it was nothing more than to protect Himeno-senpai and was implicated in this demon's territory.
The man in the suit and another weak girl, whom Abel had never seen, suddenly lost hope and sat on the ground.
"That. Can anyone help me explain the current situation. Was that a magic show some kind of show? ”
"Alas!"
Himeno sighed, but made things clear here.
To put it simply, they have fallen into the trap of the devil.
The entire 8th floor is the essence of the demon, and in it, time does not flow, and no matter how you go, you will eventually return here, endlessly.
So even if you want to wait for help, you can't do it.
After Abel listened, he knew why these people were so excited when they saw him appear.
But he thinks that 'time doesn't flow' is a paradox, otherwise how did he end up here?
If 'time really doesn't flow', then by the time the second person stepped into the 8th floor, the person in front of him would have been dead long ago.
So he suspected that time here was not that it would not flow, but that the flow speed had been magnified countless times.
For example, if you stay here for a day, it may only be a second since the outside world passes.
But even that doesn't make any difference to the current situation.
If you don't find a way to break out of this place and escape, you will be completely trapped to death.
Then something even worse happened.
The 'demon' that had been killed by Himeno had begun to multiply indefinitely, turning into an indescribable object composed of a large number of heads, pieces of flesh, etc., which had blocked the other end of the corridor and began to pour towards them.
