"This smell... is indeed made by the devil."
In the small tavern, the solid wood tables and chairs were flipped to the floor, and the strong smell of alcohol filled the air.
After carefully checking it with the inherited method, and making sure it was temporarily safe, he came to the blue corpses on the ground, squatted down, and started to check.
"Well, the pupils of both eyes disappeared, and the time of death was at least eight hours, but there was no reaction to the corpse transformation. Is it a freezing spell?"
"No, it doesn't look like it. I didn't detect the breath of ice magic in my body. Instead, my soul showed traces of being extracted directly from the body..."
Taking the hand off the corpse's chest and feeling the feedback brought by the magic exploration, Colin tilted his chin and frowned in thought.
To be honest, this is a little different from what he thought. Generally speaking, human flesh and blood are a drug-like temptation for demons, and of course, the soul is as well.
And even incorporeal demons such as ghosts will absorb all the essence of the corpse while taking away the soul.
Like now, it was beyond his expectation.
You must know that before he came in, he was mentally prepared for the human hotpot to appear here.
"Could it be a high-level demon?"
Colin suddenly changed his mind.
Ordinary demons have low intelligence and will never give up the food in front of them, but more advanced demons can temporarily resist the chaotic nature rooted in their souls for some goals.
But what still doesn't make sense is that once a high-level demon enters the world, generally speaking, it will be very powerful. He can smell the overwhelming demonic aura from eight hundred miles away.
And even if the high-level demon tried his best to contain his aura, he would still be able to sense the abnormality hidden in it at such a close distance, not to mention that there was no change in this land, nor could it match the inherited memory. There are some records about high-level demons.
unless…
"Ha! Haha! Hahaha... I must be thinking a little too much. I am completely scaring myself. If you think about it carefully, it is completely impossible. This is the Marvel Universe... "
After laughing stiffly for a while, Colin couldn't help but glance behind him. After finding nothing, he relaxed slightly.
Although the current situation is strange, it is not without a suitable explanation.
If those demon kings and demon-god-level demons came to Earth and committed this incident, then everything would be explained.
But how is this possible? There are never any scenes in the movie where the Avengers beat up the devil. Of course, there is no scene like him...
"Damn! It really needs to be investigated thoroughly!"
Colin walked nervously back and forth in the room.
To be honest, he was very flustered now.
After all, he suddenly discovered that a being suspected of being a demon king or even a demon god appeared on the earth. Apart from coming to him because of the Necromancer's inheritance, is there any other reason
He even thought with darker thoughts that his heritage, the system on his body, and the Horadric Cube on his body might be a beacon, specially used to provide directions to the devil!
And when this beacon of mine has completed its function, then there is no need to think about the consequences!
Those guys are all demons who can eat people without spitting out their bones. They will definitely swallow him in one gulp without any discussion! ! !
"Calm down... Calm down, things may not be as bad as you think, and this is the Marvel Universe. Even if the devil really comes, he still has the ability to resist..."
Stopping the thoughts running towards a certain road in his mind, Colin squatted down again and inspected with a more rigorous and solemn attitude.
"Most of the corpses have finger marks on their chests or necks, and the devil's aura is strongest there. But even here, compared with the devil in memory, the aura is still too light, and it doesn't seem to be pure..."
"Wait, not pure?"
"The direction I considered before was based on the conclusion that this was done by the devil, but now it seems that there is another possibility..."
"Maybe the offspring of a demon and a human? A half-demon?"
"But let's not talk about how rare this kind of thing is. The person who can give birth to a child with a human must at least be a high-level demon, and it must be the top one. As his heir, there is no way that his power is so weak. The situation…”
"Well, it doesn't have to be the first-generation descendant. If it's a grandson, no, even a great-grandson won't have such a weak aura. Although it's still not weak, it's even much stronger than him now. But it is less reasonable to say that the bloodline is seven or eight generations later..."
"But has this world also been exposed to demons?"
"That's right, this is the Marvel Universe. Not to mention demons, even gods or demons like Mephisto... they all exist..."
Colin's body gradually stiffened, and after a long while, he slapped his face quite hard.
He was really frightened. Why did he think that these were done by devils native to the Marvel Universe? The probability of doing these was many times greater than the devils in his memory!
He would actually lose his ability to think rationally because of worry and fear... This is simply terrible! ! !
"Luckily no one knew."
After looking around and confirming that apart from himself, the only dead guy standing aside was the Hateful Zombie, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, if others saw his performance and the words in his heart, he would definitely be so ashamed that he would want to die!
"However, although after thinking about the devil, it is somewhat similar to some of the scenes in my memory, we cannot just take it lightly. We still need to conduct in-depth investigations and confirm it..."
Da da da…
Some hurried footsteps sounded from outside the tavern. Colin paused his thinking and looked up at the tavern door. In the next moment, the tavern door was violently pushed open. A man in a pink coat shouted Sam, age A white woman in her forties rushed into the pub.
There was a shout.
The atmosphere in the tavern suddenly became extremely peaceful.
Colin looked at the corpse at his feet, and then at the motionless Abomination standing next to him like a mountain. He coughed dryly and said with a smile: "Well, there may be some misunderstanding between us..."
"You... monster... uh uh..."
Plop!
The woman who ran in rolled her eyes and fainted.
Colin hurriedly stepped forward to check. After confirming that he was really dizzy, his expression became strange.
I never thought that with my handsome face, I would scare people into fainting one day.
But what now
Kill and silence
What a joke! It's not like he did this, no matter what, it's not his turn to kill someone and silence them!
Leave it alone
This was a solution, but having a SHIELD chasing him all day long was already annoying him. He didn't want to have anything to do with the Texas police.
"Forget it, just erase this memory of hers!"
Colin put his hand on the forehead of the fainted woman, soaking in the magic power.
This can also be regarded as an advanced technique for using magic power. The effects vary from person to person depending on the level of mastery.
As for Colin, once he does it, he will erase a person's memory for one to a week, and it is not impossible to restore the memory.
However, it doesn't matter anymore. He just needs to ensure that he is as calm as possible in the recent period. Anyway, even if he is completely wiped out, the SHIELD agents behind him can also deduce something.
PS: Please recommend! ! !
The pace of this chapter is a bit slow, mainly because the plot has progressed too fast recently and there are too many clues. As a result, there is no daily plot to relax, so the writing is a bit stiff.
Of course, this is also related to my recent poor state. I will adjust as soon as possible.
