After taking the elevator from the top floor of Lloyd's headquarters, Eivers did not leave Lloyd's directly, but went to the seventeenth floor.

That's the floor where York Hermes' office is located.

He has been dead for some time now, but the office has not been transferred by Lloyd's in the first place.

On the one hand, this is because more than half of Lloyd's top brass have been imprisoned, and the rest of the people dare not make any big moves; On the other hand, the reason is that the Inspectorate used the law to hang a ban here.

Without hesitation, Ivus lifted the ban, and the crow on his shoulder flew down and pecked at the door lock. So the door opened on its own, and they went straight inside.

The room that had not been opened for a long time was filled with the antique smell of dust.

The furnishings around it have hardly changed from the past.

It's just that most of the plants that were well cared for by York's lawyers are now dead. The beautiful green parrot in the cage had long since died, and the starved corpse had not rotted and stinked, but had withered and withered. And the tank was full of goldfish carcasses, and the water became muddy.

Only the group photos hanging on the walls are no different from the past.

The high-spirited years of the former York lawyers are frozen in photographs. Even now he has been dead for many days, ruined and ruined. But in the photo, he is still smiling so brightly and happily.

"Heh......"

Ivus looked up at the photos and suddenly chuckled. It's like he's mocking something.

The crow on his shoulder vanished silently like a shadow.

She assumed the form of a night demon, leaning on the chair behind her desk with one hand.

The shadowy wings behind the Daredevil spread, and the dust in the entire room was blown away by the whirlwind that rolled up for no reason. The corpses in the fish tank and in the bird cage all disintegrated and dissipated. A turbid stream of dirt is induced in the fish tank.

And the faces of the people in the photos also turned blank after a black wind blew.

By the time Eivus turned her head, she had turned back into the crow, standing quietly in the birdcage. Only the chair she pulled out from behind her desk slowly rotated.

“…… Anti-customer-oriented, right? ”

Ivus smiled, calmly sitting in the chair that the Night Demon had pulled out for him.

He took a deep breath and whispered, "Please bring me a candle, Vignes." ”

The crow opened the cage and flew out of the birdcage on its own, flying to the side cabinet.

Ivas sat in the position of the original York lawyer, gently touching the deep visible scar on his collarbone. The intense pain made him gasp.

His flesh from his collarbone to his shoulder blades had been stripped and pecked, and the bones could be seen with the naked eye.

Ewas's blood had already soaked through the clothes on his upper body, his sensitive nerves were screaming bitterly, and the blood vessels in his forehead were beating violently from the pain. That is to say, Aihuas has reached the third energy level in the path of dedication...... If ordinary people were hit like this, it would be impossible for them to walk around without anyone around, and if they were left alone, they would only die of excessive bleeding.

But for Ewas, the injury was no longer fatal. After only walking these few steps, the bleeding has stopped and the injury is no longer getting worse. At most, by the time I wake up tomorrow, it'll basically be fine.

However, it may take a few more days to regrow all the lost flesh out of thin air.

However, Ivas will have to pick up Isabel later. Therefore, Ivus still had to use a fire ritual technique to recover from his injuries quickly.

After lighting the candle in the crow's mouth, Ivas reached for the candle flame and closed his eyes.

The wound on his neck snorted and smoked, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the missing flesh grew back—the flesh, nerves, and blood vessels were pulled apart and built together like tentacles. It's like building a house, it can be watered quickly and finally fully restored.

Eivus, on the other hand, reviewed his actions in a sense of tranquility immersed in the fire.

- He's a little too big this time.

Maybe it's because in the last promotion ceremony, Ivas took the initiative to break free from Bayard's "charming" state...... This made him subconsciously underestimate the gold content of the succubus Emma.

Another reason is also because he still has a night demon.

Although Ivus tried his best to control the Daredevils from attacking them...... But as long as Ivus is really in danger, Vignes will inevitably intervene to save Ivus. And this made Ivus's vigilance relax a little.

As a result, Eivus was controlled.

He savored the feeling of being controlled by the charm.

…… How to say it.

It's like an innocent little boy who is in love for the first time, jumping high and wanting to fulfill all the wishes of the person he likes. You can feel joy just by looking at each other, and the moment you touch your body and feel the temperature, you will be distracted. And when the other party was troubled, Ivas subconsciously switched his thinking position to "think about the other party".

Even when the night demon wanted to attack the other party several times, he stopped the night demon because he was nervous about the safety of the other party. He could hear Vignes screaming anxiously in his heart, but he only comforted him indifferently - even explaining that he was fine.

"Is this the effect of the elixir of love......"

Ivus muttered in a low voice, a little afraid: "The path of love...... It's horrible. ”

Thankfully, Vignes' attack briefly woke him up.

That moment of pain made Ivus sober up for a moment.

Although Emma soon wanted to charm Ivus again, by then Ivas had become aware of what had happened. After that, he gave Vignes a task, and when he fell into this state of "not listening" again, he attacked himself again and began to eat his own flesh.

Then, when Emma took Ewass' hand, Eivas immediately felt his heart soften.

- He's even trying to relieve himself of the task he had just assigned.

He relied on his willpower to resist the charm, and in Emma's soft voice, Ehuas's consciousness still gradually fell into the abyss again.

Perhaps because she had been in physical contact with Emma this time, her mind control was even deeper this time than before.

Even if Vignes attacked Ivus again, he wouldn't be able to come to his senses as quickly as he had before.

So Vignes directly followed the task assigned by Ivus before, and began to attack Ivus fiercely and peck at his flesh.

During this time, Ivus, who used the shepherding technique at a high frequency every day, had almost developed a habit. The charm state just made Eivas not want to be an enemy of Emma and wanted to obey her orders and demands...... But this did not distort the logic and habits of Ivus's other behaviors.

After Vignes expressed his hunger, Ivas instinctively tried to feed her. It's like a breastfeeding mother who subconsciously wants to breastfeed when she hears her own baby crying.

- And at the moment when Ivas entered the state of "mercy and sacrifice" of the pastoral law, the charm was suddenly lifted.

Part of the reason is that the shepherding law overshadows Emma's seductive aura; And part of the reason is because Emma is also controlled by Aihuas in turn.

As a blood-sucking child of the moon and a demon incarnate, she can't resist the allure of Evas's shepherding method. In this sense, Ivus even charmed her in turn—just as he did with taming Shadow Fiend.

In other words, even though the demon in Emma's body has not yet broken out, she has actually been judged to be a demon by the Shepherd Law. Shepherding is effective for all illusions, but especially for demons who are beyond the path.

Or rather, it was precisely because her demon soul and the body of the child of the moon longed for the flesh and blood of Ivus that the extremely exuberant appetite in her body had overwhelmed the succubus's original sin brand of lust.

Interrupt control with control, in turn...... This may also be a kind of control offset.

Although Ivus did not complete the shepherding of her, she became Evas's "child" the moment Emma expressed her desire for Ivus's flesh.

Just as Eivas still had the imprint of Emma in his spirit - the pink pupils in his mind flashed when he closed his eyes and thought of Emma, and he still couldn't kill Emma. And as long as Emma can't completely forget her unusually swollen appetite when she looks at Ewas, she can't charm Eivus wholeheartedly.

And in this state of "deadlock", the person who has the initiative to break the deadlock is none other than Aihuas.

Because he can take the initiative to enter the state of shepherding at any time to paralyze Emma's natural ability as a succubus.

Although that also means that Ivus is also controlled by himself, and quickly loses his life...... But he still has Vignes to protect him.

- Even so, Ivas is extremely jealous of Emma.

Even though she's just a succubus...... Neither power nor danger is far from the first.

But she is the first hostile boss who does not know the information of the other party after Aihuas awakens the memories of his previous life, and she is also the only person who can indeed kill Aihuas.

"Wait......"

Eivus's expression froze slightly.

He suddenly realized that something was wrong.

…… From yesterday to today.

Isn't it a bit too coincidental that I've experienced all this?
