Meg has never seen this kind of situation before. She has been in an endless world for several years. This is an ordinary town, covering an area of less than five square kilometers. The architectural style is not much different from those villages on the outskirts of London. , The reason why I say "endless" is because Meg has tried many times to leave here, but no matter how much distance she moves, she will come to this town again after passing through an empty field.
One thing is very special here, that is, there is no one in the town, even though the houses are spotless, even though there are always fresh stocks in the food storage places, even though the sun rises and sets, and there is wind and rain, there is no living thing , not even insects and ants.
Meg felt fear for the first time. She had seen countless cruel punishments in hell, and even tore a living person to pieces countless times with her own hands, but she had never felt the fear at this moment. She understands... her sense of existence is gradually disappearing.
Robert Neville in "I Am Legend" can still watch some DVDs to pass the time, and he can still communicate with pet dogs on weekdays, and he still has hope. He will broadcast in the city every day, and he will go to the same place every day to wait The appearance of another living person.
But Meg didn't have the slightest hope, and she didn't have any entertainment facilities for her entertainment. She could only watch the sun rise and set numbly, and calculate the date and time. There is absolutely nothing to do.
Gradually, she couldn't figure out the date, how many days? several years? How many centuries? What difference does it make to her? Everyday life is the same, and she doesn't know how long she has been here. The almost endless lifespan of a demon has become a double-edged sword at this moment. But now Meg began to envy the short life of human beings.
Finally, at dusk one day, Meg decided to kill herself. She couldn't stand it anymore. Her body was what she had been before she became a demon. She was an ordinary-looking European woman. She walked into the kitchen of a certain house, Grab a knife and start cutting yourself.
At least the long-lost pain made her understand that she was still alive, but she was still desperate to die... When the life characteristics of this body disappeared, she turned into a black fog and drifted in the air. Originally, it was impossible in this world. There was a second body for her to live in, but miraculously, the severed body returned to its original appearance as if time was reversed, and Meg was forcibly pulled into it again.
She couldn't die, and she didn't go back to hell after turning into black mist. She was imprisoned. This may be the most terrifying way of imprisonment, Master Cat's "solitary imprisonment".
Meg wanted to cry, but in the end she didn't shed tears, because when she was almost desperate, Wang Xu appeared in front of her eyes.
"Then what... Lord Cat asked me to ask you if you have thought it through. If you think it through, come out and talk to us. If you think it through, stay and think about it." Wang Xu said this in an unfriendly tone. The remarks.
Meg didn't show any hostility, she didn't dare... In fact, she even wanted to go up and hug Wang Xu, but she still controlled herself: "Okay... I'll say it! I can say anything! Let me do anything ! Please don't leave me here alone again!"
Wang Xu had a puzzled look: "Ah?" He was thinking maliciously in his heart: In just a day or two, what did Master Cat do to her in this space... He said he could do anything... This...
A few minutes later, Meg stood in front of Master Cat and Wang Xu. At this time, she was just a spirit body, and only psychics could communicate with her.
Master Cat said unhurriedly: "You'd better not try to escape, don't try to play tricks, and don't do anything that disgusts me, or you will know the result very well."
"Yes... yes..." Meg's eyes were full of horror.
"Very good, I ask, you answer, the answer should be concise and clear, do you understand?"
"clear… "
"Why is London surrounded by an enchantment?"
"That is an enchantment cast by an existence far above heaven and hell, in order to prevent this city from being interfered by anything other than the human world."
"How could such a powerful barrier be cracked by Wang Xu's attack?"
Wang Xu interjected, "Hey! What do you mean!"
Meg didn't dare to slack off, and she didn't care about Wang Xu's complaints, and rushed to say: "The enchantment is mainly to prevent the power of heaven and hell. I think your ability is not the main object of resistance, so it has a miraculous effect."
Master Cat continued to ask: "Very well, then, you said that you will not let external forces interfere, what is the interference?"
"A murderer."
Master Cat said again: "This murderer...he has a special mission, right?"
"Yes."
"What is the mission?"
"His blood sacrifice has already begun, and it will continue for a period of time to come. This is a ceremony for the purpose of..." Meg stopped at this point, seeing her painful expression, but there was no sound in her throat. not come out.
Master Cat's expression changed, and he remembered what Woody once said: "It's okay to tell you, but... it's limited to you, this part of your knowledge and memory, even if the other party has the ability to read memory, you can't know it, if you Individuals who subjectively want to tell this concept to anyone, or express it in any form, may be sanctioned by 'God', then... then no one can save you."
Master Cat knew before that it was very risky to obtain information by soul touch. A better assumption is that he will not be able to read any memories. A bad assumption is that after reading it, God’s punishment will come to him. Therefore, He did not venture to read Meg's memory directly.
Through this questioning, he can be more sure that it's not that Meg doesn't know about Jack the Ripper's mission, but wants to say it, and it's impossible to say it...
"Okay, you don't need to continue answering this question, so, tell me, what is your purpose?"
Meg seemed to be relieved at this moment, and suddenly she was able to speak again: "A demon of my level shouldn't know this, and I also learned this information by accident. In this city, countless souls can be hunted within these few months, because neither heaven nor hell can interfere with this place during this time, so this place has become my own restaurant."
Master Mao said: "Well... I think it's the same... Then, what happened when you went to the police station to report the crime that night?"
"I possessed John and tied one of his beggar companions in that alley. I don't remember the name of that person... Anyway, I set up a magic circle against King Solomon in the alley. As long as those people The police were lured by me, and when they untied the beggar, I triggered the curse seal in his body, so that I could get the souls of all the people present."
"Oh? But why did you fail?"
Meg said viciously: "Because that bastard Woody..."
"Hey... Is the Woody you're talking about the black-bellied conspiracy man wearing glasses?" Master Cat interrupted.
"You know him?"
There was a gloomy look in Master Cat's eyes: "Have I allowed you to ask questions?"
Meg immediately shivered with fright: "Yes... sorry... that's the one you said."
"Okay, keep talking."
"Woody took the beggar away and lifted my curse seal and magic circle. I only found out about this after the fact. When I first arrived in that alley, I didn't know why all the preparations I had made were destroyed. For a while, I thought There were hunters following me, and I felt that I would gain nothing by staying, so I ran away."
"Well... very good." Master Cat's words meant that he had finished asking, and the subtext was: "You are no longer worth using."
Of course, Wang Xu knew Master Cat very well. He picked up a book at hand, cleared his throat, and began to say in extremely bad Latin: "Exorcizamuste, omnisimmunduspiritusomnissatanicapotestas..."
This exorcism spell can send demons back to hell. Once low-level demons like Meg go back, they will be punished twice as harshly as last time. But at this moment, Meg feels that she can escape from these two What a blessing to be in the clutches of a bit, hell, what a place it is...
After she turned into black mist and flew into the ground, Master Cat said, "I can basically guess the purpose of Jack the Ripper's bloody feast."
Wang Xu asked, "Oh? But she doesn't seem to have said anything?"
Master Cat shook his head and sighed: "Hey... so I say that you, a history major, can really dawdle."
Wang Xu said angrily, "I'm a student of Chinese history! Specialize in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, okay? I'm a 'white expert' (this title, or this hat was popular in the early days of liberation), okay?"
Master Mao said: "All right... If ignorance is a sharp blade, you are the martial arts myth of the return of thousands of swords... Hmm... Let me explain. In fact, this matter is related to a certain character who is about to be born on the European continent. 1889 On April 20th, a person who will have a huge impact on the course of human history will be born. Whenever such a devil-level figure descends in this world, many signs will inevitably appear, and its nature is like the " Like the apocalypse, it is inevitable and unstoppable! Therefore, this blood sacrifice of Jack the Ripper is a ritual."
Wang Xu replied: "Oh... so that's the case, then who are you talking about?"
"You don't even know that..."
"Well... I don't know..."
"I'm not going to answer you, and I'm going to say..."
Wang Xu interrupted him: "Okay... I will return my Wanjian to the sect..."
