Chapter 919 Father and daughter reunion?
——The routine may be old, but it works.
Even if this play is deliberately foolish and many will see through their conspiracy, as long as the number of people who believe in the Fallen Angels reaches a certain level and continues to rise, the Fallen Angels' plan will succeed. To achieve this goal, the demons need to accurately select and kill these intelligent people to prevent the plan from accidentally failing.
Therefore, it was actually a good thing for the Fallen Angels' plan that someone took away those "smart people" who could see through the deception - because it meant that potential rebels were also taken away!
If these rebels were not taken away, the demons would have to deal with them themselves.
Demons are selfish beings—they can even abandon their teammates and companions, so of course they would avoid such a thing if possible.
It would be best to complete the Fallen Angel's mission without any danger and obtain your own brand of sin!
——I just don’t want to work but I want to get a lot of money, is that a problem?! ?
That's probably what they think.
“…I see!”
This perspective made Zhu Tang suddenly enlightened.
He had always viewed demons as terrifying, uncommunicative beings from another world, appearing in the material world solely to invade and destroy. He had never considered that demons also had social and personal needs...
"Demons are intelligent beings, and they too have their own societies. If they weren't deprived of most of the adaptability of the Path, they might even have their own 'civilization'."
Aiwass shook his head slightly.
He gave the order to everyone, "Leave two guards to guard the ship. The other two guards... and Zhu Tang and Mu. Follow me into Xingtan. We will rescue the first wave of people first... Once the Eye Demon sees our actions and realizes our purpose, it will stop sending higher-level demons to the seashore."
"Because they're also afraid that our ship will be damaged and we'll have to stay on Xingti. If we stay, they'll have to go and 'suppress the bandits' themselves..."
“…I think I have some ideas.”
After hearing this, Zhu Tang gradually understood.
He slammed his hand, and suddenly realized: "Just think of the demons as 'bandits who are all very smart and absolutely selfish', right?"
"Yes. At the same time, there's a bandit leader above them who has the power of life and death over them. This bandit leader is also very smart and won't casually issue orders that will guarantee their death. However, this also means that other colleagues can complete the mission - and the rewards the bandit leader can give are limited. Every time one is given out, there are fewer.
Aiwass affirmed, "So, a lone demon is terrifying, but once demons gather in groups, they're not so scary. They immediately become much more docile... They'll be wary of each other and won't dare to waste their energy.
"Unlike wild beasts that hunt in tandem, humans are selfish creatures; demons are even more selfish than humans.
"—Conserve strength, keep a low profile, bide your time, trick colleagues into wasting their energy, venture into dangerous areas, or even frame those in power, looking for an opportunity to replace them with your own stored power... This is also the philosophy of the Transcendent."
The result was just as Aiwass said.
Aiwass recalled the King of the Wild Hunt, transformed the King of the Wild Hunt into a traveling posture, and mounted the horse.
Under the surveillance of countless beholders, Aiwass rushed into Prince Szijjártó's manor.
At this moment, Honey Badger, Lily, Selene - and Leviathan, they are all here.
As Aiwas approached the manor, the shadow in front of him suddenly twisted for a moment.
The two Pope's guards beside him frowned and were about to take action; Zhu Tang also subconsciously shook his sleeves and silently dropped the little man into his palm.
"Don't do it!"
"Master!"
Aiwass and Lily's voices rang out at the same time.
Looking at the very excited Lily, Aiwass hugged her and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here..."
At this time, the honey badger also appeared quietly at the door of the manor and saluted Aiwass respectfully.
She looked at the two girls beside Aiwass, who were wearing elven silver armor and looked as heroic as Valkyries, and a trace of vigilance and fear flashed in her eyes.
Although the honey badger is a powerful being of the fifth energy level, it was Lily who first noticed the appearance of Aiwass.
That might be because Lily was perceptive enough - perhaps it was also because Lily believed that she would never be accidentally injured by Aiwass and the people around him, while the honey badger did not dare to take the risk.
As an assassin with strong stealth abilities, she is used to appearing far away from her opponents.
This is a kind of helpless politeness - if you are too close to someone, it is easy to make them nervous or uneasy.
At this moment, Prince Szijjártó and astrologer Fenrir trotted out. And lastly, Selene, who was with Leviathan.
They looked like they had packed their bags and were ready to leave at any moment.
This surprised Aiwass: "What are you doing...?"
"The young master mentioned this situation to me before."
Lily spoke without hesitation, "There's a possibility that the Fallen Angel might descend upon the world—that's why I was the first to realize what was happening and had everyone pack their things and be ready to evacuate at any time."
“…Did I say that?”
Even Aiwass was stunned for a moment.
He had no recollection of it... maybe he had mentioned it unconsciously while chatting with Haina or Isabel.
Even Aiwass himself didn't remember it, but Lily remembered it in her heart and had no doubt about it... This made Aiwass quite moved for a moment.
Seeing Prince Szijjártó hesitate to speak, Aiwass shook his head and put a finger to his lips. "Don't waste time—come back with me. Fenrir, you drive and take a few people—Zhu Tang, you ride too."
"Leviathan... take Lily, Selene, and the honey badger with you. The others should be able to keep up with my speed..."
"I can just hide in the shadows."
The honey badger shook his head: "I don't have to."
After meeting, Leviathan looked at Aiwass with a distant and wary gaze, like a puppy that hadn't seen its owner in a long time. But at the same time, he felt an instinctive closeness... So after observing him from a distance for a while, he hesitantly approached and sniffed Aiwass's scent.
Aiwass was stunned for a moment: "Shark?"
At that moment, Leviathan finally confirmed it.
Whimpering and shedding tears, it licked Aiwass's cheek with increasing passion, even excitement.
"Mom! Leave me—"
This terrifying monster uttered a sharp and childish voice, yelling intermittently: "I turned into my father, but I didn't come back..."
The sound it made was not like a child crying, but more like the shrill cry of a ghost.
"Okay, okay, good boy..."
Aiwass felt a little soft-hearted: "It was my fault for not taking you away before..."
...After all, from a certain perspective, Leviathan can be considered as Aiwass's first child.
Update completed meow!
As you can see, during the special event New Moon Ceremony pinned to the top of the Book Friends Circle, I was pulled down by Can Can and turned into a dungeon boss (very sad). Anyway, everyone actively participated! I will comment and like it later so that Can Can can send everyone a big poster!
The poster is said to be over one meter long! Quite exaggerated!
