Chapter 201: Devil Stories (Part Two) (End of this volume)

Due to the importance of this office, it is located in the very center of the building, so it has no windows. The dim kerosene lamp flame illuminated the room and Jenkins' puzzled face.

Mr. Rodney sighed: "This version of the book records several stories that have never been seen before, and among these few stories, it happens to record the 'twin demons'. Fate or coincidence?"

He smiled bitterly and looked at Jenkins, who also showed a puzzled expression in cooperation.

"Can you tell me these things?"

Jenkins asked, touching the chocolate, and the latter squinted at the old book on the table.

"No problem, your confidentiality level is sufficient, and this matter is related to you throughout, and you are not considered an outsider."

Mr. Bellini took over the words: "The origin of the batch of books in the Augustus manor is easy to find out. It was about fifty years ago, the generation of Viscount Augustus, who is the current one. Grandpa, I bought it from a second-hand bookstore, and the inventory is still here. Since the Augustus family has no problems, the bookstore that has already closed down is now the target of investigation, but it has been so long, I think , probably can’t find the specific origin of this manuscript.”

Seeing that the two gentlemen had no objection, Jenkins took the book in his hand and looked through it. The cover feels awful, like holding a peeled cob of corn in your hand. The current common script is used here, written with dark red ink... or blood, and the paper feels smooth to the touch, like parchment or other leather that has been specially treated.

It is likely that the book was translated from a manuscript of one edition, and then that manuscript of that edition is likely not a literal translation of the original either. So after translating and transcribing so many times, even if you read the description carefully, as long as the time is not too long, you will not feel mentally uncomfortable.

In addition to the text, there are occasional strange symbols marked on the page. I don't know if this is something that existed in the original "Devil's Document" or if it was a mark drawn by the scribe himself.

After reading the previous stories, Jenkins couldn't help pressing his temple. It doesn't have any supernatural powers, but the story alone, the evil, disgusting, and counterintuitive narrative, can make one seriously uncomfortable.

"Mr. Williams, page 44."

Mr. Bellini reminded him kindly, and Jenkins counted the pages and carefully turned back, and he found the short article:

[The twin demon killed his own brother, through an abnormal relationship and... (indistinct, unrecognizable)... Finally, successfully inherited the power from it. Then under the guidance of the great third master, back to the magma hell... (indistinct, unrecognizable)...but the demon of fate is not dead, all this is its plan. He lurks in the twin's soul, waiting... (unintelligible)... the master sits high, tasting the soul dregs of pain, smiling at the comical spectacle... (unintelligible)...ancient legend...inheritance...pain... Jealousy... The opportunity to escape... At the end of the 18th era, there is a vacant position of the savior... The twin demons are growing up in hell, and the lurking brother is ready to harvest the two pigs he personally cultivated at any time. This is much faster than growing alone... (Large area is blurred)... According to the ancient ritual, the soul imprint of the twin demon has almost taken shape, as long as you return to the material world, put it by yourself... Asiyashi is also spying on the position of the savior, He attempts to compete for this position with the (indistinct) demon arm that has signed a contract with several bodies. The performances of twin demons, destiny demons, and mortal Asyash deeply pleased the great third ruler, the Lord of Sin Karma. Regardless of the final result, this great existence has already had enough fun.]

The story ends here, because the incompleteness is too serious, the sense of logic is very poor.

"If we use mortal thinking to make a bold guess."

Seeing that Jenkins finished reading, Mr. Bellini pointed to his head: "This probably describes the two high-ranking demons who were wiped out by unknown saints. I personally think so. They are related to this era. Fables, or legends, came to our world, and the descendants of the Asiyashi family who summoned them also knew and believed in this fable. After various accidents, all contenders failed. The only one who benefited, Probably the New God and his believers, there is reason to believe that they also know the fable."

"No, neither I nor I know."

Jenkins was sure of this in his heart, and he continued to ask:

"Savior? Sir, is there really a savior?"

"I'm not an expert on this."

Mr. Bellini shrugged, and casually picked up the teacup on the side to play with, "Maybe friends from [Fate and Law] church will know something, I remember that Miss Audrey still seems to be staying in this city, maybe we can ask her for advice .But there probably won't be any clues, the truth of the story itself is enough to make people doubtful, and the key points are always vague, as if on purpose."

While speaking, he bent down and pointed to the location of the eyes of words such as "the third master" and "the king of sin".

Jenkins raised his eyebrows, hiding his surprise with the action of fiddling with buttons:

"Can't they see?"

Just like the previous versions of the demon story, the authenticity of this story is also questionable. But this epic long story spanning several epochs and even involving the Overmind has really come to an end now.

And the reason for the end is not the heroic ending of the great adventurer in the imagination, but just the unlucky traveler who was recognized as an ordinary person because of his good disguise.

This may be fate.

Bellini was still talking: "Our guess is like this, but we need to face it further. Sometimes, the difference between a demon and a human is not big, just look at the person from the Asyash family, and the recent riot A lot of swindlers who ruined their lives. How should this kind of thing be described... "

He let out a breath and loosened the collar of his shirt. The room was indeed too hot.

"Hell is empty, the devil is in the world."

Jenkins answered before realizing that the first half of the sentence was inappropriate.

Mr. Rodney closed the book and glanced at Jenkins strangely: "Mr. Williams, demons do exist in the world, but I'm afraid hell is not peaceful."
