Chapter 805: Demons don’t have this ability

Yan Qing covered her mouth with her hands, seeming a little sleepy.

"I have a dance party later. If you don't have anything else, I'll leave first."

Brock released his trump card: "Some people claim that Vasily is possessed by a demon. Do you know about this?"

The other person's expression froze.

"Demon? Vasily? How is this possible... Isn't Vasily studying in the Mage Monastery? It's normal for him to have connections with the demon mentors there. He was chosen as the host?"

Brock did not answer.

Yan Jing finally realized something, and her eyes were a little surprised: "Illegal demon?"

Her eyes moved. "If he is a demon, there is no way the monastery didn't find out, right? That is an institution founded by the Demon Association, and demons are serving as mentors there."

"From what I know, there are also demons that are good at hiding their identities, so that other demons can't even recognize them," said Brock.

Yanqing said seriously, "I don't know how you can be sure that Vasily is the devil. The Vasily I know has always been like that. He is a good man, a man who lives a simple life."

Brock took a sip of tea and said, "Before Vasily disappeared, the [Rose Talisman] he left in that room contained a demon seal that had never been seen before. That demon seal did not belong to any known demon. That's all I can say."

The young business lady opposite frowned: "Who are you?"

"I'm just a detective."

Brock buttoned up his coat and stood up to say goodbye: "If you think of anything, please feel free to contact me."

…

On the third floor of the Magic Monastery, in a room with a locked door.

The sunlight shone through the wooden bars that sealed the windows and onto the ground, leaving behind mottled shadows.

“…That’s the situation.”

Block reported to his employer.

The employer remained silent, and behind him stood a tall, gray-skinned man, like a shadow.

This is Brock’s employer, the apostle of the Mystic Kingdom, the president of the Demon Association, Takechi - or Bifrons.

Brock was surprised when he first met this powerful shadow demon.

If the association wants to investigate something, it can just go to the [Investigation Bureau]. Why would it look for a private detective like me?

Although he was somewhat famous on the island, he was not a professional agent, and he was far behind in terms of connections, intelligence, and equipment.

He specializes in investigating affairs and private lives.

Although this field may not sound very exciting, it makes money.

And the demand is huge.

Brock has two characteristics: one is that he speaks with evidence, and the other is that he keeps his mouth shut.

His business and reputation in his hometown have always been good.

As the investigation into Vasily continued, Block already knew why Bifrons hired him.

This matter has a lot of uncertainty, and it is also an internal matter of the monastery. If the [Investigation Bureau] is dispatched, it means that the matter is basically settled.

Today, the [Rose Talisman] can be said to be a great success. Vasily has become the heroic wizard of the monastery and a role model that is almost like a benchmark.

Investigating him requires extreme caution.

It would be more convenient and less noticeable if a foreigner like me did this.

Bifrons' voice interrupted his thoughts.

"It is true that blood elf blood causes blood diseases. I have verified it. Can you trust what Yan Qing said? The Crystal City where she is is a place that the Association cannot enter, and it is difficult for us to influence that place."

Brock replied, "Sir, my hearing is very good. I can hear the changes in her heartbeat. She was very stable throughout the whole process. Maybe there are some hidden contents that she didn't tell us, such as the matter of funding Vasily, but her heartbeat was stable, and what she said was very reliable."

Voices carry information. When a person is excited or lying, their heart rate increases, which is an important criterion for Block to judge the other party's testimony.

Most of the time he has a blank expression on his face, but he is actually paying attention to the other person's heart rate.

Block generally does not accept orders from groups without heartbeats.

"We have analyzed this demon seal before."

The gray body of Bifrons stood in the center of the room, looking at the ground.

At his feet was a huge rune array drawn in plaster chalk.

The rune is surrounded by a ring with several layers of structure, which contains many difficult-to-interpret symbols and graphic combinations. Although it is complex, the layers are clear and it is obviously drawn with the help of some tools.

"Demon seals are divided into different levels. The stronger the demon, the stronger and more complex the seal will be. This is one of the basic rules of Hell."

Bifrons stared at the ground with his gray eyes. He looked from the center of the floor to the winding lines spreading everywhere. "I have never seen such a complex and large-scale demon seal."

Brock noticed it when he first came here. The entire demon seal was centered in the center of the ground, extending in all directions, covering the floor, windows, walls, and ceiling of the entire room... This room, which was large enough to accommodate fifty or sixty people, had completely become a carrier of the seal.

Standing here, you can also feel a vague sense of uneasiness.

Brock did not respond: "Well, Master Apostle, I will take my leave first."

Don't get too deeply involved in a case, this is the experience he has learned from his work.

"I need your professional ability. I must make sure whether Vasily is a normal person."

Beverons said.

Brock felt a headache.

This is a big customer, I dare not offend him.

He still adhered to his professional ethics and said: "According to my investigation, Vasily may behave differently from ordinary people due to his congenital blood defect. But he is undoubtedly a Yao human, and he has his own ideals and motivations."

"Based on the existing evidence, I believe that Mr. Vasily is not a demon."

“…”

A trace of confusion appeared on Bifrons's gray face: "Am I worrying too much?"

“This is a special case.”

The Demon President said in a low voice: "Brock, I now recruit you in the name of the Apostle to contribute to the safety of the Yao civilization. I order you to use your special ability [Sniff Hall] to find every trace left by Vasily."

He stretched out his hand and opened a piece of elemental crystal in his hand: "Follow this to find him."

Brock could only bite the bullet and agree: "Yes."

Sure enough, this is what he came for.

[Hall of Scent] This ability has great side effects, and Brock doesn't want to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

He has no choice now.

He closed his eyes and shut off his five senses.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Eliminate the clutter.

Smell becomes the only element that exists in the world.

Various smells are intertwined and connected with each other, like countless ropes and clouds of different shapes, forming a special world of taste.

Smells can exist in this world for a long time, but they will gradually dissipate.

They give clues and traces.

Brock followed the smell in the crystal structure and found a series of lines in this room. These lines went back and forth along the demon seal on the ground, and then the smell suddenly disappeared.

He said with his eyes closed.

"I can smell it, but it's far away."

"You show me the way, and I'll take you there."

Brock moved forward, with Beverons escorting him all the way.

Vasily's scent was not continuous. He would suddenly appear in one place and then arrive at the next place. His scent appeared in the Temple of Resurrection City, the Academy of Mystic Arts, the United Friendship University, the Bone Engineering College, the Bone Workshop, the Plastic Workshop...

Brock couldn't understand it at all.

Vasily is like a dragonfly skimming the water, able to travel around the world in an instant.

Like God.

"Rose magic talisman teleportation array?"

Bifrons frowned and muttered to himself, "Impossible, he can't have set up teleportation arrays in all these places. These teleportation arrays cannot be hidden. How did he do it?"

Brock sniffed: "Isn't Vasily chasing after Lord Yao and trying to reach the presence of the god? Could it be that he is following the power of Lord Yao..."

"No way, this can't be done."

Bifrons was slightly distracted, as if he was stabbed by something, and his voice suddenly quickened: "That is the domain of God. Demons cannot track the will of God. The will of God is sacred and inviolable... Even the rules of the world can only restrict it to a certain extent."

Brock said nothing more, but just ran around all the places where Vasily's scent remained.

Every place has the same characteristic. The scent stays for a moment without any spreading or stretching. It is as if points of scent are left behind instead of the usual ropes and lines.

"That's all."

Brock was exhausted and panting.

Beverons breathed a sigh of relief.

"He is not a demon. Demons don't have this ability. There is no smell of demons here. This is not something a demon can do. It is not a teleportation array, a portal, or a dark element tunnel. This is a brand new space ability magic symbol."

The Demon President's originally gloomy expression seemed very strange, as if it contained some kind of confusion and a bit of melancholy.

"It's good that he's not a demon. That's enough."

"It seems that I have to report Vasily's matter to God. It is beyond my ability."

Bifrons looked over and said, "Brock, thank you for your help and contribution to the Yao civilization. In addition to the previous reward, I will also provide you with the opportunity to join the Demon Association or the [Detective Bureau]..."

"The association will also pay a high price to compensate for the work and mental losses caused by the activation of the [Sniff Hall]."

Brock shook off the white hair on his body.

Now he has turned into a little white dog, with dirty fur from running around just now, just like a stray puppy.

This weak and regressive state will last for three years.

This is the price you have to pay to use the [Hall of Smell].

In puppy form, Brock has great difficulty moving and tires easily, just like a normal puppy.

"For the sake of Lord Yaoshen, this is the duty of the citizens of the Yao Clan."

He said it on his lips.

That's what private investigators do.

You never know what unexpected situations you might encounter when scouting a target.

Brock sighed.

He couldn't help but think again.

If Vasily was traveling back and forth following the will of God Yao, then where was he now? Arrived at the mysterious Kunlun, or... entered the departure point reserved for gods? He really wanted to meet this young wizard who he had never met before, but became familiar with little by little during the investigation.

It’s great to be young.
