A grand dinner was being held in a top-floor room of a five-star hotel that was not open to the public.
"Everyone, I have called you together this time to inform you of an important matter!"
A man with a slicked back hair stepped forward and opened his mouth to attract the attention of many dinner attendees.
"Isn't this a dinner party for adding members?"
The plump man asked, then grinned, revealing his fangs that were as fine as a shark's.
He took the uncut roasted ribs on the plate in front of him into his mouth in one bite, and the sound of the bones being chewed was clearly audible.
"President Northam's teeth are really good!"
The middle-aged man standing next to him was frightened by this look. He took a step back, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said flatteringly.
"Increase the members' dinner party? No, this is a meeting. Noson, you didn't read carefully the message sent to you, right?"
In front, the man with the big back frowned and asked.
"You all like to use code words, but I don't like to decipher code words. I only saw that you were going to hold a dinner party, so I brought people over.
Well, I just thought it was strange. It turned out to be a meeting and not a dinner. No wonder the other guys didn't bring any new-faced humans around. "
A plump hand put on the shoulder of the middle-aged man next to him, and the owner of the hand continued: "I'm sorry, President Kishimoto, I brought you here because of my misunderstanding."
"What happened? Without you, President Northam, how could I have gotten to know so many gentlemen and ladies from the upper class?!"
Miki Kishimoto said very respectfully that he is just a small boss of a private company, and every gentleman and lady here is someone he needs to look up to for advice, either a famous boss in the business world or a government agency official. VIPs.
"Now, since I brought you here, I can't let you come in vain."
"Noson, we have no plans to add more members today."
"knew."
The fat man responded, then turned to look at the person next to him and asked.
"President Kishimoto, do you want to leave here now, or do you choose to stay?"
"I want to stay here, okay?"
"Of course, we like ambitious people the most!"
The middle-aged man stood up excitedly.
"Thank you, President Northam, for your support!"
This man directly faced the fat man and bowed.
"You're welcome……"
The upper body of the plump man changed, like a large upright catfish, but with many compound eyes on its head. It opened its own eye directly to the bowing man, and then enlarged a lot and was full of fangs. Big mouth.
"Kacha, kacha..."
The sound of bones being chewed sounded again, and the smell of blood caused other guests attending the dinner to experience some changes in some parts of their bodies, either turning into tentacles or transforming into... Features like unicorn fur.
Obviously, this is not a normal dinner party, but the organizer is a devil, and those who can attend this dinner are all elites among devils, but they are high-level devils who belong to the leadership class.
"The people I brought have been eaten. There are no outsiders here, only us demons are left. Go on, Lark, why did you urgently summon us?!"
The devil who looked like a big catfish said, a lot of blood was splashed on his clothes, but now it sank into the black suit, making the color of the black suit darker.
"During the recent period, we have encountered unprecedented attacks in cities in the Kanagawa region, and many of our compatriots have disappeared."
The man with the big back said, a curtain was lowered and the surrounding lights were dimmed.
"And this is an image captured by our compatriots in the Kanagawa area through surveillance equipment on human roads..."
The projector shined the projection light on the screen, and a road surveillance video was played. It was three young people walking on the road. They were suddenly surrounded by a group of big black dogs. Since the road surveillance had no sound, What is playing now is a mime.
fo
However, it can still be seen that the three young men, from being confused and panicked at first, to becoming vicious later, turned into demons.
And just when the demons present thought that those big black dogs would be easily torn apart by their own kind, the big black dogs in the image also changed their bodies, revealing fangs and sharp teeth that normal creatures could not possess. , it didn’t take much effort to tear apart the limbs of the three young people who had transformed into demons, and then disappeared at the edge of the captured image with them in their mouths...,
"what is that?"
a demon asked.
"Raider,"
Da Beitou replied.
"I have eyes, I can see. I'm asking about their details?!"
The questioning demon said dissatisfied.
"It's not clear right now."
Da Beitou continued to answer.
"Isn't it just that a few low-level demons were hunted and killed, and those big black dogs may be some idiots who possessed dogs and did it because they were hungry."
Another devil said.
"I originally thought so, but now the number of low-level demons that have disappeared like this has exceeded fifty, and some of them have been photographed and left traces, such as those that were not photographed and disappeared mysteriously. There are even more demons.
Obviously, this is not a simple case of cannibalism, but a mysterious force in the Kobe River area that is targeting us in a targeted manner! "
The man with the big back said.
"Lark, you mean that those exorcist forces that we once exterminated in the Middle Ages are now resurgent in this era?"
"This possibility is not ruled out. Every time there is a wave of revival, there will inevitably be some trash from the same race who fail to possess and absorb and assimilate humans. Instead, they are assimilated into their own consciousness by mere humans, thus betraying us. .”
Facing the questions from other demons, Lark, who still looked like a human male with a big back, nodded and said.
As demons, their activity patterns are somewhat similar to natural phenomena like tides.
Whenever the sleeping consciousness of their master, Satan, is revealed on the surface of the world, a large number of demonic consciousnesses will appear on this planet.
And when the consciousness of their master, Satan, falls back into the world and enters a state of deep sleep, then the demons who have possessed the lives of the times to reappear will have to follow their master's deep sleep and reappear. Return to the dark world of consciousness.
The repeated awakenings and slumbers carry out the history of this planet and all kinds of life. The history of mankind is only a small part of it, but it is also the most complicated part.
Before the emergence of the human race, demon possession did not lead to demons that betrayed the race. Even if individual demons would kill each other, it was a wild and instinctive battle, purely for their own benefit. Fight.
But after the emergence of the human race, possessing humans caused some traitors within the demon clan to appear who were divided into camps based on race and were not motivated by profit, and chose to betray their own race.
In human history, some fantasy creatures in myths and stories are actually based on the demonic forms transformed by demons possessing humans.
Among them, there are both good and bad ones. The bad ones are naturally the demons with pure consciousness, while the good ones are the humans who use their emotions to resist assimilating the demons. The confrontation between them and the demons has been going on for a long time.
Of course, the results of every confrontation are unsatisfactory. Compared with the number of pure demons who follow their own desires wantonly, the humans who rely on their pure inner emotions to resist assimilation of demons are only a minority. With such a small number of people, Naturally, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands.
And the pure demons never cared about the traitors within the clan who always appeared with the wave of revival, until time came to Europe in the medieval period of this world, where a large group of demons controlled by their own faith in gods appeared. Human beings with demonic power, after several large exorcist organizations appeared.
Although the demons at that time still did not defeat the entire demon clan, they taught the demon clan a profound lesson, so that when they wake up later, those demons who have experienced that period will have a deep understanding of the exorcist-type organization. Or individuals, have some vigilance.
"We must nip the threat in the bud, and we must not let what happened in some European countries in the Middle Ages happen again in this country in this era!"
A demon said.
"That's why I've called this dinner, we need to work together to find out who's behind those black dogs.
Those black dogs are more powerful than ordinary demons, which shows that the existence that controls them cannot be ordinary demons.
Therefore, we need to find out who among the high-level demons is still alive in this wave of resurgence..."
"Lark, do you suspect that those guys who have not yet appeared in the world may have been defeated by human consciousness?"
"As far as I know, there is only one demon that can control demons, Machima, but it died in the war with the exorcists in the Middle Ages. It is impossible for it to be resurrected in this era and be assimilated by humans. Alright?"
"Everything is possible, but it may be the ability that other demons have evolved. In short, it is also good for us to investigate the current situation of other high-level demons.
You don’t want to encounter a group of high-level races that jumped to the human camp one day in the future, like the Holy War in the Middle Ages, right? "
Lark's words silenced the demons present. The Holy War that took place in Europe in the Middle Ages was because many of the same race of higher demons were assimilated by the humans at that time, which in turn caused considerable losses to them.
"Contact the high-ranking tribesmen who have already appeared in the world to confirm the situation, be wary of those who have not yet appeared, and use the human power we secretly control to investigate the disappearance of the demons in the Kanagawa area..."
Lark spoke out a series of plans, causing the higher demons present to nod in agreement.
"Monster Bird, I don't care about the competition between your faction and the Demon King's faction, but when it comes to dealing with possible exorcist forces, I hope that we, who are both demons, can cooperate with each other. Is there no problem with this?"
After talking about the plan, the man with the big back looked at the group of demons at the dinner party, an extremely sexy demon with no inhuman features on his body, and looked like a human female, and asked.
The woman who was being questioned had a dangerous look in her eyes, but she was quickly pulled away by the strong man next to her.
"Of course this is no problem."
The other party replied.
"Thunder beast..."
Lark glanced at the burly man and then looked away when he saw that the demon bird didn't say anything.
"That's good!"
This devil's dinner ended quickly.
.
.
"You guy, how dare you speak on my behalf just now?"
After getting into the luxury car, the woman started to attack the man sitting in the driver's seat.
"Beautiful Shi Liru, if my behavior just now made you feel uncomfortable, you can kill me now!"
The man said directly.
The woman didn't say anything else, she just reached over and grabbed the man's shoulder.
There was just a tearing sound, blood splattered inside the luxury car, and the man's arm in the driver's seat was torn off.
The woman took the severed arm in her hand, put it in front of her mouth and began to chew on it. The sound of chewing flesh and blood echoed in the car.
In response to this, except for a muffled grunt when his arm was pulled off, the man in the driver's seat made no other sounds.
"This is your punishment. Just now that damn guy Lark actually suggested that I, Anmeng, might be manipulated by humans. It was just a joke. How is that possible!?"
The woman with her mouth full of blood said viciously, as if what she was eating in her mouth was not the arm of the man next to her, but the arm of the big-backed guy at the dinner just now.
"Shi Liru, what if An Meng is really manipulated by humans?"
Next to him, the man in the driver's seat suddenly asked.
"Huaimeng, do you want to die?"
The woman looked over with dangerous eyes.
"I'm just saying that if, if Anmen really betrays us, will you betray us with Anmen?"
As if he didn't care about the danger revealed in the woman's eyes, Huaimeng finished his words. After finishing speaking, he continued: "No matter what choice you make, I, Huaimeng, will fight to my death." Following you."
The appearance of the male demon next to him is not much different from that of some human men who pursue the goddess but fail.
"Anmen has not yet appeared, but I believe it is impossible for him to betray. He is the most powerful warrior among the demons.
But if there is an extremely possible possibility that he really betrayed us, then I will definitely kill him myself.
Of course, after killing him, I will personally take off his 88, taste it, and comfort this emptiness..."
Licking the fingers of the broken arm, the girl suddenly nibbled her middle finger off and swallowed it.
