Demons, in a world with dragons, elves, magic and other fantasy elements, are also a mysterious existence that everyone is afraid of.

Elements related to "evil" often appear in Chinese literature and entertainment works, and they are often accompanied by many adjectives such as "evil", "horror", and "disaster".

The Northern Desert, located northwest of the Holy Roman Empire and bordering the northern part of the Free Federation, has always been uninhabited. It is rumored that it is the entrance to the underworld and the birthplace of the demons.

As the Northern Desert was covered by snow and ice that had not melted for a thousand years, the demons migrated to Relthad and established their country. Since then, there has been no trace of life in the Northern Desert.

Until 10,000 years ago, a being called "evil demon" suddenly appeared.

No one knows how they were born. All they know is that they have no physical body and appear in the Northern Desert in the form of souls. They enter the bodies of living beings by means of hostages, and feed on the magic power and souls of the parasites. They also constantly lure the parasites into madness until they suffer a mental breakdown and the last trace of their mental barrier completely collapses.

Afterwards, the evil demon will wipe out the remaining consciousness of the parasite and take over its nest until the body decays, then look for the next parasite.

Because they are in the form of souls and are good at mental magic, the parasitism of evil spirits is always silent, and can be implanted silently in the sea of ​​consciousness through dreams or even "memories", which is hard to guard against and very scary.

The reason why Parnaqui can barely maintain the appearance of "peace" and will not actively annex other countries despite constant frictions is because of the "evil demon" - its appearance completely breaks the pattern of Parnaqui, especially the human countries. All countries have to temporarily put aside the grievances between countries and join forces to resist the evil demon.

However, the Northern Desert is covered with ice for thousands of miles and is remote and difficult to travel. It is extremely difficult for armies and magicians from various countries to set foot in the Northern Desert, not to mention that conventional combat methods are useless against soul bodies. Only the "karma fire" of the demons is the natural enemy of evil.

In the minds of all races, although the demons and the evil spirits are enemies of each other, they are equally matched. Therefore, even if they suffer heavy losses in fighting against the evil spirits, they are still unwilling to ask the demons for their assistance.

It would be fine if all countries gave up seeking the help of the demons and worked together to resist the evil demons. Unfortunately, the existence of the evil demons is extremely special, and one can be parasitized if one is not careful. The parasitized people are completely unaware, and under the guidance of the evil demons, they sow discord among the princes, ministers, and even the king, so that although all countries work together, they are still wary of each other, fighting against the evil demons while being suspicious of each other.

Fortunately, although the evil demons are powerful and intelligent, they cannot reproduce, and no one knows the reason for their birth. It is only known that the evil demons grow very slowly, and there is rarely a new one in a hundred years. The number of evil demons is not huge, only barely reaching millions, and it is just a slightly smaller tribe in Parnaki. Therefore, the various tribes have fought with the evil demons for thousands of years, and they have not fallen apart because of the evil demons. The wise evil demons never take the initiative to attack the various tribes, but only slowly nibble away and encroach bit by bit. Most of the time, they hide in the northern desert and will not leave easily.

This situation did not change until five hundred years ago, when Rui Hang traveled through Parnaki and became the lord of the demons.

The terrain of Relsad is remote and only slightly better than the Northern Desert. If the demons want to develop, they must abandon their past hatreds, go deep into the continent, trade with various countries, and exchange for resources.

All races hate the demon race, and the demon race hates all races just as much. Under Rui Hang's strong suppression and continuous reforms, the conflicts between the demon race and other races have improved a lot.

After that, the students of Class 9 gradually climbed to high positions, some became rulers of a country, some established a new regime, some became leaders of a religion, or like Zhao Yaya, they engaged in business while seizing the vacancy of Parnaji in communication studies, invested heavily in newspapers and magazines, and directly controlled the flow of public opinion on the entire continent.

With the help of the students, although it was still difficult to unite the entire Parnaqui as one - the contradictions in concepts and political structures, and the fact that it was impossible to overthrow the deep-rooted feudal ideas and stereotypes that had lasted for thousands of years in just five hundred years, at least in the fight against evil, the world had finally reached a basic peace.

It was a battlefield that Parnaki had never experienced before. Armies from various countries, led by Class 9, marched out together and almost wiped out all the evil spirits in the Northern Desert. Only a few evil spirits escaped and disappeared.

Afterwards, countries bordering the Northern Desert would set up defenses on their borders, just like the "Night's Watch" described in "A Song of Ice and Fire", guarding against the reappearance of evil from generation to generation.

It has been nearly eighty years since Lin Lang and Su Mu last heard of the appearance of evil demons.

For the new generation born within a hundred years of Parnaki, such a terrifying existence as "evil spirits" has almost completely disappeared from their lives and memories - after all, evil spirits can live in people's remaining "memories" of them, and even the impression of "evil spirits" can become a breeding ground for the growth of evil spirits.

How could an evil demon that even Parnaki could hardly see anymore suddenly appear on Earth?

Or is it the "goddess" of this self-created sect?

Like the fire of hell, spiritual magic, which is of the same type as demons, also has a restraining effect on demons, and is the most sensitive to demons.

Lin Lang immediately released his mental and magical power and cautiously reached out to Mu Jingbai.

"It's a human." Lin Lang shared the information he sensed with Su Mu: "There are remnants of evil demons in the sea of ​​consciousness. It is estimated that its strength is between that of a high-level magician and a sage. It seems that the power of faith during this period of time has been transferred to it. It seems that it will only be a few days away from breaking through to the level of a sage."

"Sage... With our current magic power storage, it is still a bit difficult to deal with this level of evil demons. It seems that we have to call for help." Su Mu pondered.

"Shall we ask Teacher Rui to come?"

"This is the only way now." Su Mu said: "Before we get the list, we should not alert the enemy. If the evil demon suddenly attacks, it will be almost impossible for us to protect everyone here and solve the evil demon at the same time to prevent him from escaping."

The most terrifying thing about evil spirits is their ability to host. People with magic power can still resist them, but for ordinary people on Earth, they are no different from the indescribable mythical creatures in Cthulhu mythology. If you encounter them, you will go crazy and become a fanatic.

No wonder the people in this sect are so crazy, are their emotions influenced by evil spirits?

"But the evil demon living in the goddess' body seems to be still asleep." Lin Lang said: "It may have consumed a lot of magic power, and it seems... this evil demon is not a complete body, but only a fragment, and I have never felt its breath in Parnaki."

Su Mu was stunned: "Just a fragment has the power of a sage? And it's on Earth?"

If it was a dragon, it would be fine. Dragons are born with the strength comparable to that of a high-level human magician. They are truly the chosen ones of heaven. But the power of the evil spirits comes more from the spirit, a magical element that is hard to defend against. In addition, the soul is not like the physical body, so it is very difficult to destroy it. As long as its magic power cannot be exhausted, it is almost immortal, which is why it is so terrifying.

For humans, a demon with the fighting power of a mid-level magician can easily control a high-level magician and make the magician his own fighting power.

The battle with evil spirits will almost turn into a tragic situation of cannibalism in the end.

The so-called "fragment" is a part of the soul, whose strength is far inferior to that of the original body.

If the fragments alone have power close to that of a sage, then the evil demon itself is likely to reach the level of a great magician.

The two demons had only encountered one such demon before—the "king" who commanded all the demons. His own strength was at the level of a great magician, and when fighting against humans, he controlled five great magicians at the same time, which was very terrifying.

In the end, it was completely killed thanks to Lin Lang's mental suppression. The higher the mental power, the less likely it is to be parasitized. It can be said that apart from Rui Hang, Lin Lang is the most suitable person in the world to deal with evil spirits.

Finally, under Lin Lang's multiple spiritual seals, the evil demon king was completely suppressed and unable to parasitize others. He was then taken back to the demon clan by Rui Hang, and it took a whole year to completely destroy his soul.

If the original body of this soul fragment is an evil demon comparable to the Great Mage, but it has never appeared in Parnaki, then when did it come to Earth?

Spirit, memory, dream...

Su Mu's eyes narrowed.

"Do you still remember our previous guess?"

"What? "

"About the time travelers." Su Mu said: "Do you still remember that we speculated that the time travelers were not time travelers, but that someone guided them to have a "lucid dream"? "

"...You mean, they were infected in their dreams?" Lin Lang immediately understood what Su Mu was thinking and became serious: "In other words, the person who created the dream magic was first infected by the evil spirit, and then, without anyone noticing, used the dream magic to allow the "traversers" to be parasitized by the evil spirit?"

Su Mu said, "Hmm." "I've thought about it before. The magic that can make tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people dream at the same time and reproduce a real Parnaki for them in their dreams requires an unpredictable amount of magic power and sophistication. Even in the entire Parnaki, it's not certain that anyone can complete this operation. Only a group of people are an accident."

"...us? "

"Yes." Su Mu said solemnly, "Except for us, no one in Parnaki can perform such a large-scale magic. We have all participated in the war against evil spirits, and it is possible that we have been parasitized by evil spirits. What's more, you, me, and even Teacher Rui, we have no idea of ​​the time travel, and we didn't even feel the fluctuation of magic power. It's like a memory has been erased out of thin air. Don't you think this is strange?"

Su Mu said: "Perhaps the one who brought us back to Earth, created the "dream of time travel", and finally erased our memories was ourselves."
