Jason Belial suddenly jumped up from his seat, his scalp exploded, and cold sweat soaked the clothes on his back.
As the "Apostle of Desire", he was almost shaken by his own unconcealable fear - in the widely circulated information about the devil's path in the extraordinary world, there is a relatively common concept, that is, from the "cold-blooded" to the In the end, all the emotions of the Extraordinary of the demon path will gradually disappear, and there will be no fear or panic. Only robbing and killing lives can bring some rare happiness.
This is certainly true, but there is one exception.
The Demon of "Fear", the Angel of the Abyss - Edward Vaughn!
Her existence itself is both fear and fear. Not only are creatures easily detonated by her, but even demons who are considered "bloodless and ruthless" cannot perfectly control their emotions in front of her!
I heard that human organizations and churches actually think that she was once a human, which is really ridiculous. Such an extremely terrifying existence is completely different from human beings in nature. How could she be as weak and incompetent as human beings? Something changed?
One glance, just a casual glance, caused the clone of my desire to disintegrate itself in fear.
Fortunately, she didn't see herself!
"Praise, praise the great mother tree, you are, you are the father of demons..."
Jason Belial finally straightened his tongue. He stood up with his weak legs and changed a chair to sit down.
He chanted the honorary name slowly, slowly calmed down, and finally completely controlled the fear surging in his heart.
The spacious living room was empty, with no fireplace, no lights, no sound of breathing or footsteps. This house purchased with a false identity has been quietly evacuated, all valuable things have been sold, and all living things have been killed, leaving only the false image in the living room. I can escape at any time. escape.
With the protection of the Mother Tree of Desire, this mission of assassinating Duke Negan should be easy to catch. The real difficulty is what happens after this: following the patriarch’s order, leading the Angel of the Abyss into the prepared trap of the Beria family. , the demon king and the mother tree inflicted divine punishment on her.
Under the protection of the mother tree, no matter how he arranges it, the crisis intuition of the Abyss Angel will not be triggered.
Kill her to make the clan leader's potion digestion progress further.
For his work as a bait, plus the reward for assassinating Duke Negan, he was also promised the opportunity to become a demigod!
Amid heavy profits, there must be a warrior, and Jason Belial is this warrior. He finally stretched out his hand to confirm the talisman he kept close to his body. It exuded a frightening aura near his heart. It slowly dispelled the fear that almost became a "seed" in Jason Belial's heart, giving him He brings tremendous courage.
Fortunately, I used it early, otherwise...
He suddenly regretted that he should not have killed all the animals early. Otherwise, you can listen to their screams to calm down now. Beria exhaled a breath that smelled of blood and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, preparing to hunt the detectives as planned. After a few seconds, his figure suddenly disintegrated like a pool of sticky shadow and disappeared.
The light of the red moon passed through the clear glass and fell on the carpet, blending with the almost black blood stains on it.

"Don't you need me to follow you in?"
"No, I'm sorry to bother you again."
After he and Klein immediately went to the police station to report the incident with the threatening letter, the two returned to Minsk Street. Ten meters in front of Klein's residence, after an hour, they said goodbye to each other again.
"Don't let me start to fight with you as soon as I move my front foot and my back foot." Edward couldn't help but joked.
Klein smiled bitterly: "If it were me, I would indeed plan how to murder them one by one tonight, but I have already reported it twice. The police and even the Orthodox forces should start paying attention to us now."
"If we take action at this time, we will easily be directly exposed in the eyes of the church. It is too unwise. Besides, he does not seem to have the power to kill us directly, otherwise he would not have been able to deal with Mr. Essinger for so long."
"Then do as you say."
Edward also had something she wanted to do. She wanted to confirm whether a demon had really escaped from under her nose just now, so she naturally agreed.
Before they reached the crossroads where the two of them should part ways, while walking, Klein saw a figure lingering in front of his house with the help of a gas street lamp stained with a little rain.
Klein was shocked at first, but then relaxed because he recognized who the visitor was.
It was Stuart, a private detective with a beard and a medium-to-thin build, his admirer.
Don't be careless... What if "Devil" has abilities similar to "Faceless Man" in the future? Klein held his cane tightly, approached slowly, and then gave a tentative shout.
Detective Stuart suddenly turned around and said with a bit of nervousness and panic: "Mr. Moriarty, I received a threatening letter, the content of which is 'You are all going to die!'"
"Did you receive it too?" Klein blurted out, feeling quite surprised but also making sense.
Stuart's eyes suddenly widened: "Did you receive it too?"
"Yes." Klein nodded solemnly.
And there's more than one... He added silently.
"What should I do? I went to see Mr. Stanton first, but I heard that he was attacked. I came to you quickly. Oh, thank God for His blessing, I almost left early!" Stuart blurted out.
Klein pointed to the door: "Let's go in first."
Then he looked at Edward, feeling that the other person's expression was a little unclear in the dark night: "Then let's go first."
Edward looked at Stuart. The human felt inexplicably afraid and did not dare to look at her. The Angel of the Abyss' thoughts moved slightly, and Stuart's expression suddenly became panicked. The accumulated fear seeds were easily detonated by the demon near Chi Chi. His emotions, which were already on the verge of reaching the limit, suddenly lost control, and his mind was occupied by madness. He suddenly pulled out his gun, and at this extremely close distance, the muzzle of his gun directly touched Klein's forehead!
Klein didn't expect that the other party would suddenly collapse. He had no time to react and watched as he pulled the trigger with red eyes!
boom!
The gun in Stuart's hand exploded, and the gun fragments and gunpowder burst out, leaving many small wounds on his hands and face. He took two steps back and fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
Edward let go of her hand, and the crushed and broken muzzle of the gun fell from her hand and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
It is indeed the apostle of desire, and it is indeed the devil who has taken action.
She took out a squarely folded handkerchief from her pocket and slowly wiped the gunpowder residue off her hands. Then the handkerchief spontaneously ignited and turned into ashes. Edward glanced at Stuart, who was a little delirious after the explosion, then looked at Klein, and said nonchalantly:
"He had accumulated enough negative emotions to make him irrational."
"But it's okay now."
Klein was so shocked that he even forgot to breathe. Sweat slid down his forehead unconsciously. This was the first time since he came to Backlund that he was so close to death and so caught off guard.
——Before this, no matter what kind of crisis it is, there is at least some reaction time!
It happened so quickly and ended so quickly that Klein couldn't even feel the joy of surviving the disaster, and he hadn't even begun to be afraid. Klein took a deep breath, inhaling, exhaling, inhaling again, exhaling again, and then asked hesitantly: "Will this leave any bad sequelae for him?"
"Maybe, he was in a trance and had nightmares for a while, but since he wasn't directly frightened to death, it's not too serious."
Edward glanced at Stuart, who was sitting on the ground, with the corner of his eye, and said goodbye to Klein pleasantly: "Then I'll leave first. I hope you spend tonight safely."
Klein didn't think of how to reply for a moment. He watched Edward walking away step by step in a daze, until he watched the other person's back disappear completely, and then he felt that he could finally breathe again.
He quickly cleaned up the scene and helped Stuart, who was in a daze. Just then, another detective, Kaslana, her assistant, and several other detectives came over from the other side of the street.
She and Klein looked at each other, and then helped to hold Stuart up. She winked at Klein and motioned for him to come into the room.
A group of people entered the living room and put Stuart aside to let him calm down. They briefly exchanged information and eagerly expressed their anxiety and fear. Not long after, the doorbell rang again.
The soft sound of the doorbell was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads.
Stuart seemed to have some reaction. He raised his head, looked around, and whispered blankly: "What was I doing just now..."
Has the official Beyonder taken action? Klein breathed a sigh of relief, holding the revolver and approaching the door.
As soon as he grasped the handle, the appearance of the person outside the door naturally appeared in his mind: Isengard Stanton, with gray temples and a thin face, wearing a deerstalker hat and a black coat.
The great detective's face was a little pale, and his left arm was raised near his shoulder.
He is indeed fine! Klein was overjoyed at first, but then became cautious - he still remembered the time when "Secret Puppet Master" Rosago turned into an acquaintance policeman to defraud the door.
With his finger on the trigger, Klein opened the door and took two steps back.
Essinger Stanton smiled and nodded to him: "Thank you for your visit this afternoon, otherwise I might not be able to continue to hide and seek with that devil because of my injury.
"You saved my life."
This...could the correct interpretation of "It is appropriate to visit Isengard Stanton" mean that going to him this afternoon can help him get out of danger? What about the "good times to visit" in the next few days? Stagger the murder scene without being suspected? Klein was dumbfounded for a moment.
He moved out of the way without letting his guard down: "What exactly happened?"
"Let's talk later." Essinger suddenly lowered his voice and laughed, "Do you want to discuss topics related to extraordinary people in front of Stuart and the others?"
So you mentioned extraordinary beings to me so naturally? Also, I was able to stand in a stalemate with the owner of the demon dog for more than ten minutes, which is enough to show that I am not an ordinary person... and I also provided consultation opinions that deliberately pointed to demonized animals... Klein calmly fell behind. Eisinger Stanton two-step.
As soon as they saw the great detective, Kaslana and her assistant Lydia breathed a sigh of relief, and Stuart and other private detectives also showed relieved expressions.
The private investigators asked about his condition, and there was a little excitement in the living room. Essinger remained calm. He asked everyone to calm down first, and he wanted to discuss countermeasures with the two detectives Kaslana and Sherlock first. The prestige he had accumulated for a long time made the detectives sit down without any objection.
After entering the living room, Essinger looked back and asked thoughtfully: "What's wrong with Mr. Stuart? He seems to be unconscious. Did he encounter that villain?"
Kaslana shook her head, and Klein thought for a moment before replying: "He was a little emotionally broken, but he should be fine now."
Emotional breakdown... Essinger thought of something, and his expression became slightly serious.
The wooden door was closed and the living room became a closed space. Klein suddenly realized that this was a good time to use items such as "biological toxin bottles". Then he thought of Detective Stuart's mental breakdown and began to be alert, fearing that someone else would The two people also have seeds planted by the "Desire Apostle" in their psychology, and they will suddenly attack when they lose their vigilance.

After returning to the villa and having a spiritual communication, the Decline King, who was reading a book, answered her.
"Ask the Desire Apostle." The Outer God said, "He is on the second floor of Klein's house, and there should be a fight soon. When you mobilized that human's fear just now, he was almost frightened to death on the spot."
"The Sword Comes"
"………………"
Edward was silent, and she and the declining king looked at each other, speechless.
"I feel like I've been tricked." The Angel of the Abyss said gloomily, "By the Mother Tree of Desire and you."
"no way."
The Declined King continued reading calmly: "The opportunity we have been waiting for has come. Now you have to think about how to pretend to be ignorant, and then naturally discover the Beria and use him to enter the Beria family. . There should be a dragnet over there now, just waiting for you to take the initiative to go there. Pray to the gods outside the sky and fight against the strong men of the same path and sequence? The current patriarch of Beria is also very courageous. "
"After all, I have stayed in the Sequence 2 position for more than a thousand years. It is only normal to have the idea of replacing it."
"I won't do anything this time."
The outer god said to one-fifth of himself: "The current patriarch of Beria will definitely die, and our promotion will definitely succeed. It doesn't matter what the ceremony is like, and the overflow of spirituality can only be fake."
Edward smiled: "If you take action, I'm afraid I will be regarded as the roll-taker of some foreign god. Being the roll-taker for yourself sounds quite interesting."
The Declined King rolled his eyes at himself.
"Beria is fully prepared this time, and the Mother Tree of Desire will not interfere too much."
"With the power we have at our disposal, victory is not impossible."
"Just making our victory look as natural as possible."
Reaching a consensus, they ended the exchange smoothly.
Opening his eyes, the Angel of the Abyss looked at his crystal chandelier. His gaze shifted slightly and landed on Amon, who was concentrating on studying the Rubik's Cube in the living room. He could now restore three sides without relying on extraordinary abilities.
"Amon."
She said: "The people of the Beria family are trying to trick me, blinding my sense of crisis. Are you interested in going to the Demon Family's territory with me to make a big fuss on the premise of letting everyone die?" "
Hearing this, Amon slowly stopped twisting the Rubik's Cube and made a contemplative movement.
A few seconds later, the Sequence 3 "Deception Tutor" turned his head and showed an interesting smile: "My pleasure."

Double update is over!
Supplement: As mentioned in the previous article, the Sequence 3 Amon who was looking for his old love in the Southern Continent 158 years ago has been crushed and fed to the typist, so now the typist is 3, and the Amon has the highest sequence.
