A moonless night where you can barely see your fingers.
Dense temperate broad-leaved forest.
Something lurks around, something extremely cunning and murderous.
Fala smelled evil clearly.
It has fought against several terrible enemies, whether it is the copper cat thousands of years ago, or the nine-life cat in the redwood forest, and other enemies hidden in the dark, it has very rich experience in fighting demons, But the enemy he encountered in front of him seemed to be even more difficult.
What the hell is this place
Fartui couldn't remember when and how he got here, he had spent at least dozens of days in this strange forest.
At first it wanted to get out of the forest, but this forest is too vast, no matter which direction it goes, it is an endless sea of forests, which seems to have no boundaries at all.
Then one day, it suddenly noticed an abnormality, which was a creature's instinct, and a terrible enemy appeared nearby.
There are many signs to prove that this is not because it thinks too much. It has seen the meaningless killing. The corpses of more than a dozen deer are piled up in a forest glade. All of them were killed by sharp teeth, but they were hardly eaten. .
The incident in the redwood forest made Fartui very cautious. It is not sure whether these deer are sick. If they are sick deer, they must be killed in order to save the lives of more deer.
However, as it moved forward, similar senseless killings occurred many times. The targets of the killing were not limited to deer, and various animals that were killed but not eaten appeared frequently, but because the most common in the forest The largest large animals are all kinds of deer, so the number of dead deer is the most.
As the guardian of nature, Fatei was furious. He couldn't find a way to leave the forest anyway, so he decided not to leave for the time being, and wandered in the forest looking for the demon.
But that demon was too cunning, erratic like a ghost, Fala searched the forest for several days, except for some slight clues, it never met the other side.
It would be nice to have help.
It's a pity for Farui, there are many species in this forest, but there are no wolves, and Zhang Zian and other elves are not around, otherwise things would be much easier.
As time went by, Fartui's heart became heavier and heavier, because it discovered a more terrifying fact-God no longer answered its prayers.
After several days of searching for that demon to no avail, it tried to seek help from God, prayed to God, and asked God to grant it an all-seeing eye to see through the demon's disguise.
But... nothing happened.
Both God and his heavenly brethren seem to have deserted it.
It is difficult for people without faith to understand the huge impact on Fartui's heart. It doesn't know if it has done something wrong, why would God abandon it
Not only that, but the light red marks on its four legs and left rib also gradually faded away, almost completely invisible.
Its power is fading.
Farui could only try to convince himself that this was God's test for him.
It has not given up on chasing the demons, which seems to have become its only goal of survival, but with the disappearance of its power, its power is not much stronger than ordinary gray wolves, and sometimes it can't even defeat the leopards in the forest. Even if it finds the devil, what can it do
Click.
In the woods ahead, there was the soft sound of trampling on twigs.
Farre jumped out immediately like a conditioned reflex, and it had a certain intuition that the one who made the sound was the demon it had been looking for.
Not far away was the scream of a deer, and that damned thing was causing senseless killing again, but this time it was so close that Fala might be able to stop it in time.
It jumped into a rocky forest glade, and saw dozens of animal corpses in a mess, blood was still gushing from their necks, chests and abdomens, and even a few of them were not completely dead, and their limbs were still moving twitching.
Farre saw the demon, whose back was turned to it, as if waiting for it.
From the size of the opponent, Fatu could tell at a glance that it was a gray wolf, probably also a European gray wolf. This was not beyond his expectation, because he had found canids from the wounds of dead animals in the past. With its razor-sharp teeth marks, a canine killer capable of slaughtering so many large animals had few other options.
"Finally... found you! Prepare to go to hell, devil!"
Fartui was ready to attack, it didn't bother to attack from behind, and shouted: "Face me, devil!"
The wolf turned around slowly, blood still dripping between its teeth.
Farui saw the true face of the wolf, and his heartbeat almost stopped!
God!
That wolf... that demon who wanted to kill was exactly the same as Fate, it was like looking in a mirror!
"Why… "
Farui took a few steps back, staring at him in disbelief.
No matter how it looked, the wolf was no different from itself, only stronger because of the abundance of food.
Fatui suddenly understood that it wasn't just "like", that was it - it was a bloodthirsty killer wandering in the European forest a long time ago; at the same time, it was also in the future, it couldn't get out of this forest, and was abandoned by God , was once again reduced to a bloodthirsty beast, and it fell to Lucifer.
"No!"
Fate snarled in pain, "No!"
As soon as its body went limp, it collapsed to the ground, and its stomach was filled with nausea, but it couldn't spit out anything.
The wolf looked at Farui with pity, stretched out its long tongue to lick the blood around its mouth, bared its blood-stained fangs, as if saying: Join me, brother! Chase blood with me, stop suppressing your inner desires!
Fate lay on the ground panting violently.
It has fallen into a desperate situation, abandoned by God, its prayers cannot be answered, and its body is weak because it only eats the minimum food every day. It is absolutely impossible to be another opponent of itself.
However, it will not succumb, because it has a brother who can defeat the enemy without relying on the power of God.
After half a sound, it tried to support its body and stood up again.
"No."
It said firmly and calmly: "You are not my brother, demon!"
The other one was irritated, howling to the sky, and then opened its bloody mouth and swooped at it.
Farui tried his best to bite the opponent together.
Tusk to fang, claw to claw.
After a long time.
Silence returned to the forest, and the nearby lawns and stone piles changed drastically as if a tornado had just blown through them.
In the empty space, a wolf was standing alone with bruises all over its body. These wounds were not from being bitten or scratched, but from being scratched by dead branches and rocks.
The moon is out.
The wolf carcasses on the ground slowly disappeared, as did the scattered animal carcasses, and the blood on the ground was all Fate's own.
Fateh's eyes came back to clarity.
The past, the present, and the future are reunited as one.
The demon that is really to be expelled is not in the forest, but hidden in its heart, and it is destined to never be expelled, because it is a wolf, not a dog. Suppressing the killing instinct and the desire for blood is against the sky. It means that it will spend the rest of its life fighting its own demons.
As strong as it is, the inner demon is as strong, and even stronger. In various myths in ancient and modern China and abroad, the fallen gods always have more powerful power than before.
The inner demon will wear down its will, corrode its belief, weaken its strength, and always want it to be as corrupt and depraved as Lucifer, and join the army of hell.
However, it has an advantage that the heart demon does not have, that is, it has another human brother, which makes it have a human nature in addition to divinity and wolf nature.
The five stigmata reappeared on its four feet and left rib, which were extremely clear.
It lay down quietly, not going anywhere, and ignored a mysterious light cluster floating above its head, because it had successfully suppressed the inner demons and it had already received divine enlightenment, although it was very weak, as if it had come from an extremely distant place. An apocalypse from a world—its brother was coming to fetch it, in some shape and form it might not understand.
