Chapter 16 The Temptation of the Devil

return  ←  list chapter  →   return

When Haina came back from the basement of the tavern, she felt like she was almost full.

When she went down, she was actually very nervous and apprehensive. Haina always felt that there might be some traps, mechanisms or curses in this basement, or there might be some familiars, or there might be synthetic beasts in the jars.

But to her disappointment, she carefully explored for a long time but found nothing.

There is not even the altar described in the article that is filled with the smell of blood and various severed limbs. Except for the few places where there are traces of life, there is dust everywhere. The most displayed items were various wine bottles and barrels that she didn't recognize.

The double bed placed in the corner may be due to poor ventilation, lack of sunlight, dampness and a musty smell. She even sympathized with these demonologists. The quality of life was so poor.

She found the alchemy secret book that Aiwass wanted with ease.

It was a book that looked a lot like a textbook, and was about as thick as a semester’s worth of required courses. It's only about two fingers thick and a palm and a half long. The difference from the textbook is that it has a special dark red leather cover that feels like cowhide.

It’s expensive at first glance.

It must be worth at least ten white coins

Maybe more, but the price is enough to make people want to steal it.

Aiwass is too inexperienced in life. If he goes out with something like this, he will definitely be remembered. Even a thief who has no knowledge of the supernatural world and forbidden knowledge can easily judge the value of this book from its material.

And this evil sorceress must also cherish this book.

Because this book is placed on the desk beside the bed, and there is a wine glass filled with water next to it. This is one of the few dust-free places in the basement.

Apparently the dangerous bald sorceress was reading this book before they came.

Haina did indeed see a ceremonial venue in the open space in the basement. In order to make room, the residents here obviously moved the wine barrels to the corner, and even stacked two of them vertically, thus freeing up this open space that was only about five steps in diameter.

Inscribed within a ritual circle are ten names of unknown meaning. There was also a strange geometric pattern painted in the middle, and she could only barely understand the meaning of "moon" marked on it.

There was no blood or severed limbs on the ceremonial ground.

She only saw an empty swaddling clothes, lying quietly in the center of the ring. Just in case, she didn't lift the cloth.

But in order to prevent the ritual from running automatically, she cut off all the ritual threads with the sword in her hand and completely destroyed the ritual venue before she dared to start investigating.

This is also the way to deal with it taught in school. If you see a ceremony arranged by believers who transcend the path, don't walk in casually, and don't take out the things inside.Come. Start by lightly cutting all the lines with a sharp, blessed or cursed object. For example, if it is a circle, you can cut it once at any place; if it is a triangle, you need to cut it three times; if it is a six-pointed star, you need to cut it six times.

Haina remembers this knowledge clearly.

Because when she was learning this knowledge, she had an exciting illusion that she was fighting the devil. Including techniques to fight against various illegal extraordinary beings, and even techniques to fight against demons, she has carefully studied them all.

But it wasn’t until she was about to graduate that she learned from her colleagues that in fact more than 90% of the supervisors might never see a living demon in this life. If they saw it, they would most likely not have the chance to live to show off to others.

Because the devil cannot appear alone. When a demon's summoner dies, the demon is sent back.

This means that when a demon is found alone, the evil sorcerer who summoned the demon must be nearby and has probably noticed him. But he failed to find the other party.

When we encounter such a powerful enemy, we usually leave it to the white gloves of the Inspectorate. It's not their turn to take action.

So Haina fell into a very aggrieved mood.

Obviously I have a lot of professional knowledge, but in fact I don’t use it at work.

In most cases, the work is still meaningless, extremely busy, and completely devoid of any sense of adventure, such as checking taxes, checking various identity certificates, maintaining law and order, and checking health conditions, safety hazards, and contraband. of work.

In most cases, there is no need to draw the sword. Ordinary stupid thieves and thugs can be stopped in place by just shouting. And anyone who can't control his voice must at least use personal naval tactics. Facing a powerful enemy that cannot be defeated quickly is a serious violation and will lead to imprisonment.

And with the crowds coming, the sword is no longer needed. In this case, close combat with the gangster will easily prevent teammates from intervening. On the contrary, it would be more efficient to use a gun.

The result is that the legal tactics assessed when joining the company are actually not used at all.

Haina was quite dissatisfied with this.

If she had known that the work of the Inspectorate was so boring, she might as well have been an air cavalry in the army

Her current gryphon has been through the process for two months, and now the result is Haven't seen a single bird feather yet

Originally Haina was still dreaming about waiting for her equipment and gryphon to arrive, so she would ride her gryphon, wear armor and a sword. , to show off in school. He must be extremely handsome, and his classmates and junior students will definitely come over to watch his heroic appearance, and the teachers will definitely use him as a role model to teach the younger generations

But now it seems , I’m afraid I may not be able to touch my gryphon before I graduate.

Haina coughed and pushed the door open with her left elbow. Her right hand gently flapped the air in front of her face, her left hand carefullyHe was holding the book like a plate with a tea cup.

She saw Aiwass sitting peacefully and obediently in his wheelchair, as if he was afraid of the smell of corpses, far, far away from the corpse with a terrible appearance.

"Do you think it's fishy?"

Haina asked casually, and came over and handed the book to Aiwass. "Hide quickly. The Lloyd District Supervisor will be here soon." Don't let him see it."

When she passed the corpse, the strong smell of blood suddenly surged up in the air, making her cough even harder.

"That's it, thank you, senior sister"

Aiwass happily took the book and responded sweetly.

Haina raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She just likes this feeling of being needed.

She didn't feel it when she was fighting before, but now that she is free, her eyes can't stop drifting to the corpse. And the smell was getting stronger and stronger, making her feel more and more uncomfortable.

Finally, Haina couldn't bear it anymore. She pulled a piece of white cloth from the table next to her and covered the upper body of the sorceress's body.

"If you feel uncomfortable, why don't you cover it?"

"Because I think we need to protect the scene"

Aiwass said hesitantly " If you cover it with a cloth, won't it destroy the evidence on the body?"

"What"

Haina was stunned for a moment.

She looked back at the body and instinctively felt that it made sense.

But why isn't this taught in school?

I didn't think of the reason for a moment, so she turned around and said harshly, "Because there are no clues. We all know that she was tricked by you." Is there any need to investigate someone who was shot to death? I see it clearly. I am a witness and no other evidence is needed.

"Of course, this is not your problem. Your act of shooting was a heroic act of righteousness, and I will make this clear to the Supervisory Bureau. ”

Speaking of this, she couldn’t help but sigh that Aiwass is really a good boy who obeys the rules and is polite.

Completely different from herself.

Haina sighed sadly.

So, she decided to confess.

She said hesitantly, "Mr. Aiwass. "

"What?" Aiwass was stunned for a moment.

"There is one thing I want to apologize to you for."

"No, no, senior sister, you can You don’t have to be so polite. Aren’t we friends?”

“That’s why I want to say it. "

Haina looked ashamed, "When I was looking for your book down there, I couldn't help but turn a few pages. ”

In fact, it was because she was worried about whether there would be any curse or poison in the book.

She felt that she was physically strong, so she decided to give it a try herself.

But there is no need to say this because it sounds too much like an excuse. It is better to just accept it.I think I want to see it.

Because she actually wanted to watch it.

If it was Haina before today, she would definitely not accept the temptation of such evil ways. But on the way here, after listening to Aiwass's words, she suddenly felt that she seemed too old-fashioned before.

I will want to be a "superior", which is the idea of ​​​​the way to transcendence; I think Aiwass is handsome, elegant, gentle and educated, this is the way to be "beautiful" or "loved" "Tao influenced.

Similarly, after reading this book, I became curious and was infected by the way of balance and wisdom.

The path of balance represents knowledge and science, and is the path of equal understanding of the world; the essence of the path of wisdom is related to mystery, rationality, and the pursuit of truth. This is all normal and part of being a normal person.

This is nothing to be ashamed of.

What really deserves an apology is that she touched other people's things and read other people's books without permission.

And what made her feel ashamed was that she had to admit that the things in this book did have some appeal.

She just turned a few pages and was immersed in the mysterious and surprising world, which opened her eyes.

Haina stayed down there for fifteen minutes, more than ten of which she was reading this book. But she could only flip through it briefly, feeling that she had to go and take a look, otherwise Aiwass would be very scared to be alone in a room with a corpse.

And after all, this is the Lloyd District with poor public security.

What if a gangster comes outside at this time?

Aiwass is too weak to protect himself normally. He might have accidentally killed someone with one shot.

Killing a demonologist is not a big deal and will even be rewarded; but if you kill a civilian, you may go to jail.

And what if there are more people? He may not have many bullets. He may not dare to shoot, or the weapon may be taken away.

Thinking about this, Haina She ran up to take a look very worried. But Aiwass was found safe and sound.

Looking back, she felt a little itchy again.

The previous turn did not quench her thirst at all, but made her even more curious.

"I'm a little curious."

Taking a deep breath, Haina frankly admitted her desire, "I also want to read that book.

"After that, can I go to your house to take a look at it?"

"But as a supervisor, it would be bad if the senior sister comes to our house when nothing happens."

Aiwas declined politely and said, "Whether it is my father or my senior sister, there will be some gossip. You also know that there are indeed some supervisors who take money from businessmen and do some obviously biased behavior. I mean, even if you didn't do it, senior, you can't refute it when someone says that. Because what you really did is even more unexplainable. ”

"Indeed."

Haina nodded dejectedly, "You are right."

"But," Aiwass changed the topic, "Senior sister saved me, He helped me get my revenge. I also want to thank my senior for helping me find this book.

"So if you want to read this book, senior, you can." Ask me out regularly in your free time. You should know that if a more private space is not possible, I can also bring it to school. There are always places like this in schools. "

Aiwass squinted his eyes and showed a kind and gentle smile, like a cunning fox, following the lead. "There are also some tiring parts in daily work, right? Is there anything worth complaining about, or the Supervision Bureau has recently If something big happens, you can talk to me and talk about it at that time. ”

Is she actually interested in alchemy?

Aiwass’s heart moved. Knowing her personal preferences, things became easier to handle. Haina was very relaxed She can become his thorn and spy in the Supervision Bureau.

It’s really hard to learn well, but it’s easy to slip away after learning badly. The moment the firm belief in his heart was shaken, he was so easily seduced.

I don’t know who is the devil.

I don’t know if it is an illusion, but Aiwass feels that he is. If you were a demon, you would be much more professional than a shadow demon.

Hearing this, Haina was extremely grateful.

She respected Aiwass's generosity and his kindness. Being gentle and putting himself in others' shoes, he couldn't help but use honorifics to his junior, "Thank you, Mr. Aiwass. Isn't this too much trouble for you?"

Aiwass just smiled and said He waved his hand, "It's okay, no trouble. This is called everyone getting what he needs.

"After all, I am also very curious about the daily work of the Supervision Bureau." Please remember to bookmark the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
