The Whispering Verses Chapter 2915: Devil Story (Part 7)
Chapter 2914 Demon Story (Part 7)
The demonologist slowly shook his head:
"That is a self-destructive story, cliché and old. The devil worshipers tried to entrust me to help investigate some secret and dangerous information. They are extremely wealthy, and this card is just a deposit. They Consider this card a sign of trust in me.
But when I left Yuewan this summer and wanted to return there to hand in the investigation report, I found that their family had disappeared there. ”
"That family disappeared? Like the Kant family, was it taken away by the church?"
Although this is not a continuation of previous demon stories, Shade is also interested in it.
Sean Asmon shook his head again:
"No, not the church. It is said that their youngest son went from the country to the city, gambled in the underground Rhodes Casino, owed a large debt and signed a contract, so the debt collector took them away All the property. Without the property, the devil research could no longer continue, and everyone left within a few years."
"this"
Shad has nothing to say, this seems to be a story in which "gambling is more terrifying than studying demons":
"So, what do you want to do with this card now?"
"Of course I will bet with you again, and I find that I have never beaten you."
Although his black eyes looked at Shade and the people behind him, Shade felt that everyone except the two of them was just irrelevant background.
"I am not pursuing material comfort. If I lose, you take this Rhodes card that I don't know is real or fake, give me 200 pounds, and continue to support my travel and research; if I win, you use 500 Now that the Devil Worshiper is gone, I don't intend to keep this card."
This is a pretty good bet, and it would even be worthwhile to lose outright, because Shade is almost certain that the card is real:
"And we can also tell stories while playing cards."
As he said that, he took out his spare deck, but Mr. Asmon shook his head and signaled to Shade that he didn’t need to take the cards:
"This time we will play something special. Using my deck of cards, we will draw cards in turn. The first one to draw this [Angel·Gakel who declares doom] will win."
As he spoke, he stuffed the special card into his deck, while Shade cleared all the plates on the table aside. After shuffling the cards, Mr. Asmon placed the deck in the center of the table.
Although this rule is simple, it is really fun. Because once you start, you don't rely on technology at all, but purely on luck - unless it's cheating technology.
Mr. Asmon filled himself up with wine again, and the two clinked their glasses:
"Mr. Watson, before we begin, do you still remember where our story is?"
"Of course."
Xia De nodded, he remembered this story very clearly:
"A wonderful existence, because of people's cognition, has the power of the rumored devil. It brings disasters to the world, until it meets a person who has no wishes, because of the other person's 'wish' to seal the devil, accompany him That man has lived his whole life.
After the man died, the demon took his soul and returned to his hometown, devouring all his relatives. But those respectable people tried their best to protect the last boy. The boy did not protect himself by keeping silent, but made the same wish as the first man: just like my grandfather, I will use my life to seal you.
He then walked a long road and met the girl he loved, but he killed her in advance because he was worried that the devil would harvest her soul; he met the noble lady and her cat and dog in trouble, but he discovered it many years later. The noble lady he sent home had already been sacrificed, so he took the cats and dogs he had given wisdom to and left the city that was destroyed by plague and disaster in the fire. ”
This is a story that the two people told before in Yuewan, and the story told in the library of Yuewan is even more bizarre and interesting:
"Many years later, the boy who had become an old man was determined to find a successor and pass on the responsibility of sealing the devil by devouring his soul. Cats and dogs helped him find a boy, and the old man promised the boy to follow him. He can become a great person, but will forget everything in the past; the devil promised the boy not to keep his promise, and it will let his soul get everything after the boy's death.
So, the boy committed suicide after agreeing to the old man's contract. He returned in a powerful form and turned the old man back into a child so that he could continue on his own. The boy's soul disintegrated due to the use of this power and disappeared completely. ”
Xia De nodded lightly after summarizing:
"So, children are sometimes really determined. They may not know the good and evil of the world, but sometimes they see the world more thoroughly than adults."
"Yes, this is a story related to wishes, but in the end it defeats wishes."
Mr. Asmon said, turning over the first card on the deck, and then casually put the Star 13 aside:
"So at the end of the last story, the child who sealed the devil with himself like his grandfather, after nearly completing his life's journey, changed back to the way he started. Of course, the devil is still sealed The story continues from here, Mr. Watson, do you remember that the child is not traveling alone now?
Shad opened the second card on the deck and placed the Sun 4 and the Star 13 thrown by Mr. Asmon next to the plate of beans.
"Of course you remember, he also has cats and dogs, and they can talk and have some supernatural abilities."
"Yes, cats and dogs. Although they experienced the story of the child who voluntarily sacrificed, after accepting the reality, they continued to walk into the distance as before."
The demon scholar’s somewhat withered hand continued to open the third card, and threw the 8 of stars to the previous position:
"Many, many years passed after that, and they walked a long, long way. Although the body changed back into a child again, the boy's mind and soul had long since matured. He had many discussions with cats and dogs , when your second life comes to an end, how can you find a suitable heir?
Countless discussions at night and during the day yielded no results. In the end, the cat and dog suggested to him that if he really failed to find a suitable candidate to seal the devil, the two of them could eat the soul of the boy after his death and continue Pass on this responsibility. ”
Shad couldn't help but was speechless, but after thinking about it carefully, it was a good idea. He opened the fourth card, saw the king's card, smiled and shook his head, and continued to throw out the cards:
"If we were playing Rhodes with serious rules, I would have won. Did the boy agree to Cat and Dog's proposal?"
"I didn't agree, because he believed that cats and dogs had the wisdom and ability to speak because he used the power of the sealed evil spirit. If the terrible evil spirit was given to them , there is a possibility that the evil spirit can escape."
"But has he noticed? He is actually the person most affected by that demon."
"Yes, but he believes in himself but not others."
Mr. Asmon continued to draw cards as he spoke, and then showed Shade the "Queen" in his hand:
"If we played with the normal rules, this would be a lot of fun."
He threw away the cards, clasped his hands together, and continued to narrate amidst the noisy and lively background sounds around him:
"Fortunately, he still had a lot of time to think about and prepare for this matter this time. He spent so much time with the evil spirit that he himself became an immortal species. In addition, the respectable The power the boy used to rejuvenate him was too powerful. There is no end in sight for this journey.
On the following journey, they experienced many more stories. On an unknown starry night, the young man suddenly realized something:
Is it possible for me to completely destroy the evil spirit? This is not the first time he has had this idea, but his past attempts have only resulted in more serious consequences. It's not that the young man is tired of responsibilities, but that he really can't imagine who else can take on such a heavy responsibility after he leaves. ”
Xia De drew the sixth card, but unfortunately it was not Sun 2 but Moon 2:
"I understand his thinking, but there seems to be something wrong with this idea. Since he still has time, he should be able to find it. Before he met the child, his thoughts were very positive about the child's self-sacrifice. , made him change his mind?"
The demonologist did not answer this question, but put aside the seventh card, Sun 1:
"Not long after, when passing by a small town, the young man heard that many, many years ago, a hero with extraordinary power passed by this place and helped the townspeople defeat the evil spirit. So out of curiosity, the young man went to visit The statue of the unknown hero on a hill outside the town.
What he saw was the statue of his grandfather who said "I have no wish" and was devoured by the devil at the end of his life. ”
Xia De felt that he had discovered a loophole in the story:
"Does he recognize the appearance of his grandfather? Judging from time, when the first man traveled far away, today's young people were not yet born."
"The young man knows the appearance of everyone the devil devours."
The demonologist said very cruel words:
"The appearance of my grandfather gave the young man a new idea. Since he cannot find a suitable successor and there is no way to completely eliminate the evil spirit, is it possible to rediscover the person who once sealed the evil spirit?"
"His grandfather? He wants his grandfather to take over his responsibilities?"
Xia De asked in surprise, turning over the eighth card, but unfortunately it was Moon 8.
"So the young man expressed his thoughts to the cat and dog under the statue, but they both opposed this approach: 'You will not resurrect the dead. After avenging the mistress, you took us away from the plague. He said this when the city was destroyed by natural disasters'.
But the young man believed that this was the safest and most secure way. Even though his grandfather's soul had been devoured by demons, now that he had mastered more demonic power, it was not impossible for him to find his grandfather, or part of his grandfather. return. ”
