Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 14 The Awakened Shadow Demon
In the game, when you search Veronica's body, you can get [a letter from someone to the Noble Red Society].

This is a must-explode prop in the early stage of the main mission.It is directly used to start the main task of the next stage.

And this "someone" is the agent of "a certain minister" who was later involved in the incident.

Aiwass couldn't remember who this certain person was, and he also forgot who that minister was...but it was enough to know a general range.

Just like during the final exam, the teacher has defined the scope of the exam in advance.

Excluding those people that Aiwass had no impression of, and those people that he clearly knew were absolutely impossible, there were actually only three people who were still possible.

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Secretary of Justice, Secretary of Trade.

What they have in common is that the three of them are all high-ranking, over fifty years old, usually friendly and popular, middle-aged fat men who can't see their shoes when they wear ordinary clothes—this is what Aiwass said to this "certain minister" "impression.

One of the classic three choices belongs to yes.

One of the three of them was bribed by the spies sent by the Star Kingdom to regularly and secretly send some top-secret high-level information to the Star Kingdom.The remaining two are innocent.

——The medium they use to transmit information is the "Noble Red Association".

The Astral Kingdom behind the Noble Red Society intends to subvert the Avalon Kingdom—this is the main line until version 2.0.

This minister is the inner ghost of the connection between the Star Wars Kingdom and Avalon.

A true traitor.

The letters communicated with him are naturally top secret.Such an important thing will definitely not leave your body.

After all, there are quite a few thieves in Avalon. If they stole this kind of thing quietly and made it public, their lives would not be enough.

If this letter falls into the hands of the Supervision Bureau, it may not be effective.If he had buried a nail in the Supervision Bureau, he might have been cleared out directly.

But when Aiwass got it, the situation was different.

He could follow the letter and track down that "someone" in reverse.Then you can know which one of the classic three choices is the traitor.

【……My master】

A low, roaring, hoarse voice, like a lion just waking up, rang in Aiwass' ears.

That was the shadow demon under Aiwass.

A slender black snake as thick as a girl's arm, made of pure shadows, crawled along Aiwass' left leg, waist, and chest until it reached his throat.

The shadow snake's eyes glowed scarlet, and it hissed a smoky black snake letter.

Then the lion's voice became hoarse as a snake:

【What are you... doing? 】

"As you can see, destroy the evidence of my own crime."

Aiwass didn't have the slightest fear, and he didn't even look down at the black snake wrapped around his neck.

He just concentrated on retrieving evidence from Veronica, and at the same time replied casually: "And searching for other people's criminal evidence."

Communicate with these demons without appearing tired or frightened.

Because the more you fear it and dread it, the more the devil will look down on you.

The so-called "demon" is not an alien creature from the abyss in other fantasy settings, but a type of phantom.

The most accurate way to say it is that phantoms from the transcendent path are called demons.But after the generalization of the name, phantoms that do evil in other paths, phantoms with dark attributes, and phantoms that look like demons are all called demons by people.

A phantom is a special life that has no physical body, no lifespan, and will not die completely. It only belongs to a single path, has self-awareness, and the possibility of gradually becoming stronger.In most cases, they were born by absorbing power from different paths, and a small amount were transformed from creatures.

Aiwass' younger sister, Yulia, is in very bad health. Specifically, she is in a state of near-permanent fever. This is because the seeds of phantoms are conceived in her body. From this point of view, she can be regarded as the birth of phantoms. sacrifice.

And a demon scholar who advanced by mistake can also transform himself into a demon through a complicated ritual.In other words, I directly became a phantom.

These are the two main ways to transform into phantoms.

Because orthodox demons all come from the way of transcendence, they all have the pure characteristic of "intending to surpass the strong and despise the weak".That is to say, he has strength and action, and is extremely proud of his careerist character.

And the demon who has signed the contract can gain the experience of practicing the path while the master is walking on the path of transcendence.They cannot do this by themselves.

Because the demons of the original species lack their own desires—they lack goals that they want to surpass.

As long as he has a promising future and has clear goals and strengths...that is, to prove his determination and ability to walk on the "path of transcendence", the devil will not betray his master for the time being.

If the demons recognize the temporary master, even if the master is in a desperate situation, they will not defect, and they will even fight to the last moment for him.Because the devil will not dissipate with the death of the master, so the devil is not afraid of death.If the master can survive the mortal end, this strong destiny beyond the predicament will greatly satisfy the demon.

Therefore, if the devil thinks that you are not pure enough, not capable enough, and have no hope for the future.If you can't provide him with enough food from the above behaviors, he will figure out how to leave you.

It doesn't sound like anything, but it's quite normal-if you think the boss is not good enough, you will just change jobs and change companies.

But after signing the contract, the demon scholar will not die, and the demon cannot leave his body.So once the devil dislikes the owner who signed the contract with him, he will find a way to kill him.Demons cannot harm their masters, but there are still many ways to kill a person.

Many demon scholars only summon demons who are only slightly stronger than themselves.It is because they are too jealous of the devil, worried that they will not be able to satisfy the appetite of the devil.

But Aiwass is not afraid at all.

Because these demons looked like ambitious workers to Aiwass.

Make him look very kind.

Some capable and ambitious people will go to big companies, that is, submit their resumes to high-level demon scholars; but there are also some demons who like to respond to low-level demon scholars, those who like to go to start-up companies Hit the workers.

Some of them are not capable enough, and big companies don’t want them. These are low-level devils and little devils; The high-level demons summoned by demon scholars came because they couldn’t control themselves; there were also some who were simply tricked over—the resumes they sent for a big company ended up being assigned to a job with a lot of money and a lot of money. in the subsidiary.

It's like being summoned by a high-level demon scholar, and then signed to a lower-level demon scholar after controlling it.In the Star Kingdom, where the way beyond is legal, their instructors catch demons for their students in this way.

Aiwass' shadow demon is also of this type.

Of course, the situation of the Shadow Demon is a bit more complicated - because Aiwass himself is the sacrifice that tricked it over.

It is true that the salary card becomes a fine turnaround and becomes a boss.

Later, when Aiwass makes a blank card that can completely accommodate it, he will be able to completely seal the Shadow Demon into his own big beast.At that time, it will no longer be a demon, and it will be impossible to betray itself.

But now, Aiwass still needs to show his ability.

...No way, it's a labor market now.

He still has to put on a show.

After signing a lifetime contract, there is no need to be afraid of the shadow demon eating the master.

Although the Shadow Fiend was sealed away by Aiwass in a wheelchair, it remained in Aiwass' shadow.It must have seen everything that happened before.

This is also another purpose of Aiwass' trip - to stabilize the deceived job seeker by showing his layout ability, conspiracy level, and lie level along the way.Give the shadow demon enough spiritual food to make it recognize itself.

"Now, what do you think of me?"

Aiwass asked casually.

Hearing this, the black snake on his neck melted and dripped, turning into a pure black hound.

It rubbed against Aiwass' calf affectionately, making a low sound.

【Perfect, delicious, excellent...】

Obviously, Shadow Demon is very satisfied.

The black dog opened his mouth word by word, in cadence, and said: [I am looking forward to your future...our future]

"—In that case."

Aiwass threw away the letter that belonged to him: "Then destroy it, and then leave."

【Hehehe...】

The Shadow Demon laughed lowly.

After several seconds, it responded:
【Your will...Master】

【Looking forward to you, wake me up next time...】

【At that time, I hoped to eat real flesh and blood】

The black dog jumped up and picked up the letter, and when it landed, it fell into the quagmire-like shadow and disappeared together.

The letter was directly melted into the invisible by it.Like a plastic bag that has been roasted by fire, it turns black, shrinks, wrinkles, shrinks, and disappears without a trace.

There is no doubt that if it bites a living thing, it will be dragged directly into the shadows and melted.

This is by no means something that Aiwass can do with only a level-one "shadow ability".It was the result of Shadow Demon's own hands.

——This is exactly what Shadow Fiend is showing off to its master about its ability to "hunt".
