But...
While stroking the restless little crow, Aleister narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself.
If the mastermind behind Alphonse is Anna Kingsford, he will be killed by the Night Demon's ability... Does this also mean that Ms. Kingsford has some kind of relationship with the Night Demon? ?
"I'm so sorry, my dear boss..."
At this moment, overlapping voices suddenly sounded. It's like there are four or five people with similar voices saying the same sentence in slightly different rhythms.
That was the sound coming from the mirror that was destroyed in the explosion. Although the ceiling and floor had turned into hollows, the mirror blocked by Aiwass and Night Demon was only blown into pieces by the shock wave.
Now, these tattered fragments reflect the images of multiple mirror demons at the same time.
Because every remaining mirror fragment is too small to accommodate its existence. In order to report safety as soon as possible, the Mirror Demon directly divided himself into several parts and made a sound like several recordings put together.
“That’s the attack from the Night Demon. It’s too fierce for a poor little devil like me...”
“——Okay, don’t say it. ”
Before the Mirror Demon said anything irrevocable, Aleister quickly spoke up to stop it.
But the Mirror Demon didn’t have the slightest objection to this.
On the contrary, he started the second wave of flattery very smoothly: "As expected of you, you really understand the nature of us demons. In this way, I can rest assured - at least you will not because of Listening to the slander of other demons leads to danger. ”
…Professional, too professional.
After being interrupted by Aleister, he immediately stated that if I did something wrong, it was the instinct of my species and not a problem of my being a monster; secondly, he expressed He was determined to stand firmly with Aleister no matter what; then he secretly stated that "other demons are not as good as me"... This sentence can be regarded as a kind concern for Aleister's safety. , it can also be regarded as it poking the Night Demon without any trace - after all, she also belongs to "other demons".
Aleister hissed, a little embarrassed.
——Damn Earl Daun, what have you taught your demons to do!
How could the devil be infected with the filth of the human world like this... Tsk, why does this sound weird...
...But it doesn't seem too weird.
The phantoms in the dream world are, after all, shaped using the souls of the material world as materials. According to the habit of Fallen Heavenly Division, he usually only marks individuals with the ability to adapt beyond the path of great sin - these souls will not enter the river of dreams through the normal path, but will be directly transformed into demons.
This kind of behavior is equivalent to intercepting supplies on the roadside, causing the original meeting toStop the supply truck heading to the end point and take the supplies for yourself.
Many demons are actually humans who were transformed during the Herasl Empire. In other words, they were actually "ancient people" five hundred years ago, or even a thousand years ago.
——How can the ancients be as bad as today’s people!
With the progress of human social civilization, human beings' desire for transcendence has become stronger and stronger, and the path of depravity has also continued to spread forward. The Transcendents who could be selected by the Fallen Heaven Secretary five or six hundred years ago may now be regarded as good babies in His eyes...
It seems to be particularly interested in Aleister's other identity of "Eternal Pope" Because of his fancy, Mirror Demon, who re-signed a temporary labor contract with Aleister, suddenly became enthusiastic. Originally, he was thinking of taking a vacation, but now he seems to be in no hurry.
Seeing that Aleister did not answer, the Mirror Demon changed the topic very smoothly without feeling any embarrassment: "Who do you think is the murderer behind this incident?"
p>Seeing that the Mirror Demon rarely said something serious—or, in other words, something that would not make the little crow feel aggrieved—Aleister also became serious and quickly changed the subject. Kai: "If you ask me to say it, it was Ms. Kingsford who did it."
"But this is a 'kiss of betrayal.'"
The Mirror Demon did not shy away from saying so. Named this move: "As far as I know, Ms. Kingsford is a witch. Although she also has the power of the path of love, this should not be done by her."
" That's not necessarily the case."
Aleister said meaningfully: "After all, it is the path of love... I am not surprised by what they do."
After all, it is the path of love. It is the power of the river, the source of "creation".
Although both the path of the beast and the path of love are somewhat off track. But this cannot shake the fact that the path of love is now the most fulfilling path.
Compared with the Mirror Demon, Vines understood Aleister's subtext: "Master, what you mean is, is there anything else Ms. Kingsford wants to do?"
“Let me ask you,” Aleister did not answer, but asked, “If Kingsford did this, what kind of behavior do you think this is?”
"I think this is an action to silence Alphonse von Piloti."
The Mirror Demon replied without hesitation, obviously having thought about this answer in his mind for a long time: "Because His ritual was taught to him by Ms. Kingsford. It can even be said that the ritual itself is closely related to Ms. Kingsford's interests. In order to destroy the evidence, Ms. Kingsford came to silence Pi as soon as she learned the information. Mr. Lottie...
"-But I think this is just a wrong answer, a vulgar reasoning based on my preconceptions based on wrong information. I think the boss will have some different opinions on this, and I am eager to hear your wise thinking. ”
As soon as it changed the topic, it spoke very smoothly.The exact opposite statement was made.
Like a Mouri Kogoro who had just been injected with a needle by Conan, he denied his very reasonable inference just now.
"It's very simple. Because whether this is the hand moved by the Night Demon or the hand moved by Anna, the other party comes from the path of love - and curses are also skills that the path of love is proficient in. .
“The question is – can people on the path of love be so normal? In other words, does she really care about the so-called ‘truth’ and ‘silence’? ”
Although Aleister’s words sounded somewhat arrogant, when I thought about it carefully I found that she was right.
——Since Aleister can directly bypass Many interference items went straight to Alphonse, who was definitely not capable of carrying out this ritual. This meant that he had obtained enough evidence. Since Aleister already knew that Anna was the manipulator behind Alphonse, then Anna. To commit such an unabashed act of murder and silencing...
...Doesn't it sound a bit like taking off your pants and farting?
"It's better to say that instead of silencing someone, it's better to say What she did actually solidified the impression that she was the mastermind behind the scenes. But it makes no sense to say that this is a frame-up - unless you tell me that it has anything to do with Ms. Kingsford. "
"——Absolutely impossible, boss! "
The Mirror Demon shouted without hesitation: "I will never do such lies and deception! ”
“I believe you. "
Aleister replied without hesitation: "So there is only one other possibility for the answer.
“The other party—let’s call her the ‘other party’—her actions were based on the fact that I had the protection of the Night Demon.
” You see, although this explosion was huge, it did not cause much actual damage. After the steaming black smoke dissipated, the incomplete wall could barely maintain an outline; and the explosion that shook the ground did not even completely shatter the mirror that was blocked by me...
"And I was completely absorbed by the Night Demon. The power of the explosion was completely absorbed, and not even a single hair was lost. If you say this is an assassination on me, isn't it a bit too contemptuous of me? I can still remain silent after all. Where is the person who killed Earl Daun?"
"So, do you think..."
The Mirror Demon said softly and slowly: "Maybe this is just a test? "
"I prefer to call it a 'gift'"
Aleister squinted his eyes, his scarlet pupils lighting up in the gray smoke. Rudeng: "It's like fireworks when friends come in, or a salute when distinguished guests come to the door."
