As consciousness gradually awakened, Silas slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was a table with messy books opposite. A ray of sunlight shone in from the window and fell on the table, allowing Silas to see the most eye-catching thing: the clock. !
April 25, 7:12...
After staring at the beating stopwatch for a while, Silas came back to his senses and felt the restraints on his body for the first time, so he struggled desperately.
With his strength, it should be easy to break free from the rope on his body. However, what he didn't expect was that the rope was weird, and the more he struggled, the tighter it became.
"Don't waste your efforts, there are spells specifically designed to imprison demons!"
A voice sounded in the garage. Nicole yawned and walked in. She put on her glasses and combed her messy hair. Ignoring Silas's gaze, she walked to the garage door and pulled the rolling shutter door. stand up.
The sun shone in, stinging so much that Silas couldn't help but turn his head away, while Nicole stretched out in the sunshine and said, "Ah, the weather is really nice!"
"Who are you? Why am I here?" Silas stared at the strange woman and asked, "Where is the bad guy in red? Did he tie me up?"
Nicole came back, pulled a chair in front of Silas and sat back, with her hands on the back and looked at Silas and said: "Kid, you have so many questions, but it's understandable. I'm your age. When I was young, I was also full of curiosity about the world.”
As she spoke, Nicole took out a cigarette, flicked one and held it in her mouth, lit it with a lighter, took a deep puff, and then exhaled a puff of smoke happily.
Silas was attracted by her movements and watched without blinking. But when Nicole breathed out the smoke, he felt so choked that he couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing?"
"Smoking, don't you know?" Nicole took another sip and said, "Or have you never seen anyone else smoking?"
Silas shook his head, he had indeed never seen it.
Although during the discussion last night, everyone felt that Silas might come from a world they didn't know, but now Silas doesn't even understand smoking, which makes Nicole feel even more judgmental. That's right. She rolled her eyes and asked Silas: "Do you want to try it?"
Although Silas was wary of Nicole, children were children after all and were really curious. After hearing Nicole's words, he nodded mysteriously.
So Nicole didn't waste any time. After taking out another cigarette and lighting it, she wanted to stuff it into Silas's mouth.
However, at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side, grabbed the cigarette in Nicole's hand, squeezed it into a ball, and threw it to the ground.
"Teaching children to smoke? Nicole, are you serious!?" The person who appeared was Nero. He looked at Nicole with a headache on his face. He always felt that this eldest sister was really difficult to take care of.
Nicole shrugged and didn't answer.
Silas, who was tied and sitting on a chair, immediately shrank his pupils when he saw Nero appear, struggled again and shouted: "Assholes, it's really you! Why did you tie me up!? Let me go!"
Nero stood in front of Silas, looked at him condescendingly, and said, "It's not impossible to let you go, but only if you promise not to mess around. Do you agree?"
Silas hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
So Nero walked behind him and untied his hands, but after untying them, Nero still looked at Silas warily, fearing that he would suddenly escape.
There is nothing that can be done about it. Although Silas's origin is unknown and he seems to have some ulterior motives, he is only an eight or nine-year-old child after all. Dante and Nero and other adults are not the same. Well, what to do with him? You can't just keep him tied up like this, right? That's child abuse.
Fortunately, Silas kept his word and did not put up a fight after being released. He just rubbed his sore wrist, turned around, looked around, and asked Nero: "That man in red clothes and white hair Woolen cloth?"
"Hey, kid, the first thing you did when you woke up was to look for me? That's really an honor for me!" Dante's voice came, and he soon appeared in front of Silas. He was holding a plate in his hand. There are fried eggs and ham, and the food exudes an attractive aroma.
While speaking jokingly, Dante put the plate on the table in front of Silas and said, "Are you hungry? This is your breakfast..."
Silas glanced at the food on the plate, which he had never seen before. Although it smelled delicious, Silas still controlled his urge to eat, stared at Dante and said: "You... I saw you transformed, are you also a half-demon?"
"Yes, they are both half-demon just like you!" Dante was also very honest. He sat down across from him and put his feet up on the table. Then he pointed at Nero who was holding his hands next to him and said: "And it's not just me, he He’s also a half-demon!”
Nero rolled his eyes, hesitated, and showed his demonic right arm to Silas.
"So you don't have to worry too much, Silas!" Dante spread his hands and said in a relaxed tone: "We are actually the same kind."
Silas finally understood what the familiar feeling was when he first saw Dante, so he couldn't help but said: "You are also the sons of the taboo, and the demons and humans are... pursued. Pass you?"
Regarding the identity of this so-called forbidden son, Silas still had fresh memories when he was choked by the superior demon. He knew that many demons hated the forbidden son like him, so he was very curious. Have the two similar people in front of him experienced the same thing as him?
However, the word Silas said made Dante and Nero look at each other in confusion: "Son of the Forbidden?"
Dante was indeed chased by demons when he was a child, but that was a tragedy caused by the demons in order to avenge his father. After that, Dante was often attacked by demons, but he always felt that it was all related to his father. .
But now after hearing the word Silas said, Dante realized that maybe his understanding was biased, so he couldn't help but ask: "Son of the Forbidden? What does this mean?"
Silas was stunned: "Don't you know?"
Dante and Nero both shook their heads.
Silas lowered his head to look at the food on the table, couldn't help but grab it with his hands and took a bite. He found that it was quite delicious, so he didn't care about it anymore, and moved it to his mouth from left to right. Explained: "My adoptive father once told me that demons and humans are very different creatures, so it is difficult for offspring to be born, but by chance, there is a small chance that offspring will appear, but such a descendant of a half-demon It is not allowed by the demons. On the one hand, the demons will covet the talents of the half-demon, and on the other hand, they want to kill the half-demon to maintain the purity of the demon bloodline, so they call the half-demon the forbidden son..."
Dante and Nero looked at each other. To be honest, they had been fighting demons for these years. Although every demon they encountered was very angry with them, Dante and the others had long been accustomed to it. They felt that the demon's anger might be related to They have always been related to hunting demons, but they never thought that there was such a deep-seated reason.
"Silas, according to you, you are also being chased by demons?" Dante asked.
"I don't know either..." Silas raised his head in confusion and thought for a while. It seemed that except for that time when he met a high-level demon and his identity was revealed, his adoptive father protected him very well in the rest of the time, so he couldn't tell. Was chased by demons...
Looking at Silas's confused look, Dante also had a headache. To be honest, although Silas is the same kind as them, it is still difficult for children of this age to communicate, because adults may not be able to keep up. his thinking.
But at this time, Nicole next to her suddenly asked Silas: "Is it delicious? Do you want some more? Ji Liye's cooking skills are still very good!"
Silas nodded quickly. This was the first time he had eaten human cooked food, and of course he thought it was delicious.
Nicole smiled and took Silas' plate, turned back to the kitchen, and gave Nero a wink when she passed by him.
This was a decision that a group of them came to after discussing last night. Because Dante and the others had attacked Silas, Silas was hostile to them, but for a child like Silas, blindly It would be easy to arouse his rebellious psychology if he tried hard, but the gains would outweigh the losses. Therefore, Nicole believed that adopting some gentle methods and trying to get along with Silas as a friend might yield unexpected gains. At least this child would He looks like he is new to the world, so it should be easier to get words from him...
This is why the woman Nicole was the first to show up early in the morning, and then Dante and Nero appeared as similar identities. Now supplemented by Ji Liye's superb cooking skills, it was easy to Lowered many of Silas's psychological defenses.
Getting the hint from Nicole's eyes, Nero scratched his head and said to Silas: "After eating, go take a bath. You smell of gunpowder smoke and blood."
Dante also nodded and said: "That's right, kid. Since you have nowhere to go now, just stay here first."
As soon as he heard Dante's name, Silas couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "How many times have I told you, don't call me kid!"
"Hahaha!" Dante laughed, stretched out his hand to rub Silas's hair vigorously, and walked out of the garage without looking back.
