Xia De nodded and put the box on the windowsill. Even if it is a treasured transcendent item, the devil's creation must not be kept, it needs to be destroyed.
"I can see that your desire is more than that, what else do you want?"
The old musician asked again, Xia De thought for a while:
"What about power? Say whatever you want and people will do it."
The devil nodded, agreeing with this view, he took off the golden button of his cuff and handed it to Xia De:
"Wear this on your body and go out and speak in public, and people will be convinced and follow you, maybe you can start in the pub."
"very nice."
Xia De nodded again, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Dr. Schneider coming in from the door. The doctor was much faster than him, and by this time he had noticed who Shad was talking to.
"But your desires are still more than these. Tell me, young man, what do you want most?"
The devil continued to ask with a smile.
Xia De raised his eyebrows and looked towards the window beside him. The room was very lively, but Tobesk seemed very quiet in the dark night. From his reflection, he saw that Dr. Schneider was very close, about twenty steps away, but at the same time, he seemed to see a blurry figure flashing behind him:
"What I want most..."
Xia De chuckled, scratched his head and gave the answer in embarrassment:
"Of course a pretty girl."
After hesitating for a while, he added:
"A lot of pretty girls. I once confessed my sins to a priest in Coldwater Harbor. I like a lot of pretty girls."
He said half-truthfully.
The demon showed an understanding expression:
"Yes, young people of your age always think so, very good, this desire is very good."
This time, it gouged out its left eye, and handed the eye with some sticky black liquid to Shad. The eye socket of one missing eye was bleeding, but everyone around seemed to have not seen this scene:
"Put these eyes in your sockets, and any girl who looks into them will fall in love with you."
The old musician, who lost one eye, clapped his hands, looking very happy:
"In this way, your desire can be realized."
But Xia De didn't take that eyeball, and rather disliked the blood on it:
"I didn't expect you to be satisfied like this. Do you think this is all my desires?"
Xia De asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Um?"
The ancient demon raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him in surprise. The only remaining eye narrowed slightly, and didn't care about the strangeness in the other party's language. Instead, he searched for the truth of the other party's desire more carefully:
"Isn't that all your desires? Fun, greed, laziness, and oh, that horrible gluttony."
The demon spreading desire looked at Xia De inquiringly, he saw part of the truth, but soon noticed more things:
"what is that?"
It seemed to see another familiar shadow from the body of the young male human in front of it. With just a little thought, the ancient memory automatically completed the truth.
Shad thought it saw the first fire, and even divinity, but the demon saw something he didn't expect.
The head of a laughing woman, the mermaid tail made of countless bare hands and feet, and the existence that has devoured countless souls, so that it is the embodiment of some extreme power—
"【desire】!"
The answer blurted out, the unbelievable answer made the devil take two steps back, and the old musician showed a look of panic, which is unimaginable for the devil:
"How could you have her power! Great crime!"
After speaking, he turned around and wanted to run, but bumped into another person head-on. With the power of the devil, it should have knocked away all the roadblockers, but this time, it was knocked down to the ground.
Xia De supported it from behind, and Dr. Schneider, who came with a cold face, stretched out his hand to hold it:
"It can be regarded as finding you."
The middle-aged doctor with a faint red light in his eyes whispered, his voice seemed a little slippery:
"Where are you going to run this time?"
As soon as the doctor's hand touched the old musician, the latter seemed to have lost all the strength in his body. If Xia De was not still supporting it, it would probably fall to the ground immediately:
"you you......"
"Do you think this is the end?"
The old musician squeezed out his voice with difficulty, and with only one eye left, he looked at the doctor viciously in the scarlet light:
"I am a demon of desire...proliferation, do you think this is my only body?"
"Yes, another body is on the roof."
The doctor said softly, without a very serious expression:
"We'll look for it right away, you can't escape."
"I know you're chasing me, now, let me tell you a secret."
The old musician was supported by Xia De to the window, and his eyes were fixed on the doctor:
"I have prepared a special gift for you, a sage-level relic. Once this body of mine dies, another body will release the relic on the top of the building. Don't even think about it..."
Doctor Schneider stretched out his hand expressionlessly and broke its neck, and at the same time let go of his right hand:
"The one here is not the main body. It seems that it is smarter than I thought. The main body is upstairs."
Xia De looked at the body of the old musician who had been dead for a week, and put it there, as if lying on the window sill and watching the night:
"A sage-level relic..."
He sighed softly, and the doctor's eyes flashed red:
"If the demon-polluted corpse is not dealt with in time, it will become a breeding ground for other demons. When this matter is resolved, write to the church. As for the relics..."
He raised his head and looked up, as if he could look at the ancient demon through the floor:
"An ancient demon, it's normal to have some strange things in your hands. Let's go, detective, go to the roof. It didn't escape, it was waiting for us."
The Royal Festival Concert Hall has one floor underground and four floors above ground. The roof of the concert hall has summer open-air concerts every summer, so counting the top floor should actually be the fifth floor of the ground part.
After leaving the dressing room on the second floor, under the leadership of Dr. Schneider, they continued to walk towards the east side, hoping to reach the top floor directly through the stairs. Taking advantage of no one around, the doctor lowered his voice, and said to Xia De under the gas lamp on the stairs:
"The other party probably understands that I also use the power of demons, so it is very likely that they have arranged a relic that specifically restrains demons to deal with me, thinking that after I and the relic have a result, it will decide what to do next. If possible, I will need to You stop that relic."
Shade, who was carrying the violin case, nodded slightly. Sage-level (level 2) relics should never be underestimated. The only sage-level relic he has encountered so far that shows its full strength is the [Fishbone Pirate Ship]. But the Fishbone Pirate Ship is, after all, one of the more powerful ones among the sage-class relics. If it is a sage-level relic that is purely aimed at demons, Xia De feels that he has the confidence to try to stop it.
The musicians went up and down the floor to perform, and there were special stairs, and the stairs for the guests that the doctor took Shade to walk on were almost no idlers going up and down at will during the performance.
Stepping on the red carpet and walking towards the upper floor, although they were careful along the way, they did not encounter any relics that attacked them.
The door leading to the roof was locked with an iron chain, but that did not prevent the doctor from breaking the lock abruptly. After reaching the top of the building, Victor Fanny, who was standing alone in the night, seemed to be waiting for them.
Snowflakes floated in the sky at some point, and the snow soon became bigger and bigger. The snow on the roof earlier this week hadn't completely melted away. A series of obvious footprints stretched from the stairs to the devil, and then extended back from the devil's feet. Obviously, someone had come here before Shade and the doctor. here.
Because it was snowing, the weather was gloomy, coupled with the thick gray fog, the starlight could hardly be seen in the starry sky, and even the moonlight was so hazy.
Bill Schneider looked at the demon in the moonlight, while Shad looked at the full-length gray angel standing in the shadows. The angel stands behind the devil, with its head bowed and its hands covering its face, as if crying.
[Outlander, you have come into contact with whispers and miracles. 】
"This is the relic?"
Angel statues as decorations are actually quite common in this era. But the one in front of him, no matter how you look at it, doesn't have any sacred meaning. Instead, standing there makes people instinctively uneasy.
The Whispering element is very terrifying, and this relic is probably the most dangerous even among the sage-level relics.
The doctor didn't have time to pay attention to the statue at this time. He looked at the demon in front of him and took a step forward:
"I'm surprised you didn't run away."
"I'm also surprised that there is such an existence as you~www.mtlnovel.com~ With a weird smile, Victor Fanny also stared at the doctor:
"I know you want to devour me, I even know what you are. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, your desire is equally delicious to me, you treat me as a prey, and I treat you as a prey."
The demon and the doctor who sealed the demon stood together in the snow. Behind the former was a statue of an angel, and behind the latter was an outsider with a violin case who inherited the equipment of a witcher in the sixth era.
They all look at each other until the demon points to the ground:
"Tonight, use this concert hall as a stage and a hunting ground. Let's try it out and see who is the best hunter."
The demon took a step back, and the dead, masked angel statue actually slid a step forward on its own initiative:
"Sage-level relic, weeping angel."
It smiled and said to the doctor:
"I know you are very confident to deal with me, but how do you deal with this relic?"
