In the quiet living room, the atmosphere is as solid and cold as winter ice.

Caroline supported the unconscious Xu Cheng and kept looking at Susan with a hostile gaze, never leaving her for a moment to prevent her from doing anything that would endanger everyone.

Susan looked calm and stood motionless, but the emotion in her heart was slightly bitter.

According to the original plan, she was supposed to die when Xu Cheng went berserk and turned into a demon. She didn't expect that the plan would fail, and now she is faced with such an embarrassing situation.

She still couldn't figure out why Xu Cheng saw through her performance when it was so flawless?

Even if Caroline saw herself meeting these tools in private, she should not be so suspicious based on the good character she has shown over the years.

Susan couldn't figure it out. There was something called - this game doesn't count, come again!

I don’t know how much time passed before Xu Cheng suddenly woke up.

He covered his chest with his hand and coughed several times. A black gem emerged from his chest. With a crisp sound, the gem fell apart and turned into pieces all over the floor.

And the many shadows that restrained Xu Cheng's limbs and torso suddenly collapsed.

Seeing this scene, both Omar and Caroline's hearts suddenly lifted.

This black gem is a treasure given by the Shadow Goddess, and it is also the key item to seal the devil. Now that the gem is broken, it means that the seal has been released.

Caroline supported Xu Cheng and asked nervously: "Are you okay?"

Xu Cheng waved his hand and replied: "I'm fine."

"That's good!"

Caroline breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, she looked at Xu Cheng with shocked eyes.

Not only her, but also Omar and Susan also looked shocked.

A mute who has been mute for more than 20 years actually speaks?!

"It's the first time in my life that I'm talking, so I feel a little bit unaccustomed to it."

Xu Cheng touched his throat with his hand and said something emotional in a jerky tone.

The devil kept his promise and healed his damaged vocal cords, regained his ability to speak, and finally no longer had to be a mute.

That's right, the two parties have reached an agreement on cooperation - Xu Cheng will help the devil do things, and the devil will also give him powerful power and get rid of his status as a weakling.

Caroline was surprised and delighted: "Why is your throat so good?"

"We'll talk about this later."

Xu Cheng looked at Susan and walked slowly to her.

The devil has revealed the truth to him. Susan's true identity is a succubus. Along with the devil, she was summoned to this world by Xu Cheng's parents.

The succubus has ever-changing abilities and can imitate humans perfectly, and Xu Cheng and the others have never doubted her, so they have not seen through her true face for more than ten years.

Susan followed Xu Cheng to protect his physical safety, but her real purpose was to assist the devil and control Xu Cheng.

After waiting for more than twenty years, when Xu Cheng's soul finally grew up to be able to fully withstand the power of the devil, Susan secretly directed tonight's tragedy.

She used the power of the succubus to charm these tool men and made them come to attack Xu Cheng in the middle of the night. She also secretly notified Carolin to come over. The purpose was to make Xu Cheng take the initiative to accept the devil's control in an extremely helpless situation.

strength.

In the end, the three people closest to Xu Cheng will die in front of his eyes, causing him to fall into intense pain of his own weakness and self-blame.

Finally, under the temptation of the devil, Xu Cheng will embark on a path to find gods and resurrect his relatives.

This is the life of God Killer Locke, who has been living in misery and deception.

If Xu Cheng hadn't relied on the advantage of reopening to break the situation, I'm afraid he himself would have followed the same path of the God Killer and repeat the tragedy.

Susan raised her head slightly, looked at Xu Cheng, and smiled miserably: "It seems you already know everything."

"You are a dedicated wife."

Xu Cheng's tone was calm, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes: "But it all stems from deception, so I can't forgive you."

As soon as he finished speaking, his right arm had already penetrated Susan's abdomen.

"cough……"

Susan coughed, and a lot of blood flowed from her mouth. She didn't make any resistance, but slowly pressed her face against Xu Cheng's chest.

"We...are all chess pieces involuntarily."

She murmured in a low voice: "I hope you...can escape your predetermined fate...and gain true freedom..."

Her body fell slowly and decomposed rapidly during the fall. When it fell to the ground, it had turned into burning ashes all over the ground and disappeared completely, leaving no body behind.

I don’t know if it’s true death or returning to hell.

There was no fluctuation in Xu Cheng's heart. The pain of the past twenty years had sharpened his will to be stronger than diamonds.

He looked down at his right hand, and the demon's power resided in it. This reminded him of the God Killer's right arm, perhaps that was the power belonging to the Demon King of Hell.

Caroline and Omar were shocked when they saw Susan's body reduced to ashes.

This situation of corpses being destroyed into ashes most often occurs in demons. In other words, Susan, who has lived with them for more than ten years, is actually a demon.

But these members of the Demon Hunting Guild, whose main business is hunting demons, have never noticed it.

"Locke."

Caroline couldn't help but ask: "Susan's identity...what is going on?"

Xu Cheng retracted his right hand, turned around and explained: "Susan is a succubus, related to the demon living in my body."

Caroline became nervous: "So how are you now?"

Xu Cheng touched his chest with his hand: "I made an agreement with the devil. It won't hurt me, but I still have to work for it."

Caroline's heart suddenly lifted. Isn't this just like those dark wizards who like to summon demons?

Xu Cheng noticed her expression and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm just making peace with the devil. When I find the opportunity, I will get rid of it as soon as possible."

Caroline was filled with worries. Many dark wizards thought they could control the demons they summoned, but in the end their consequences were not very good.

Just seeing Xu Cheng's confident expression, she couldn't say anything depressing.

"What does the devil want you to do?"

"I don't know yet, let's take a step and see."

Although Xu Cheng knew that the devil's ultimate goal was to deal with a certain god, the devil would never tell him about it.

Otherwise, once it is spoken out, no one will dare to cooperate with it, and they will definitely run away with the bucket.

Xu Cheng also happily pretended not to know and used each other with the devil.

"Okay, Caroline."

Omar also stood up to smooth things over: "Believe in Locke, he can handle these things. There is no difficulty that can stump him."

This is not blind trust. In most of Omar's life, he has never seen anyone as tough and smart as Xu Cheng.

Caroline also agrees with this point. Based on Xu Cheng's life experience of more than 20 years, there is ubiquitous malice and discrimination, endless bad luck and danger.

Let alone an ordinary person, even if it were her or Omar, they would have been defeated long ago. However, Xu Cheng was able to live resolutely and not grow crooked at all. This has to be said to be a miracle.

"I communicated with the demon in my consciousness and it showed me what happened when I was born."

Xu Cheng looked at Omar and walked towards him: "I met my biological parents and learned the cause of their death."

Caroline and Omar's hearts, which had just been relaxed, were suddenly lifted up again, and their expressions froze.

What the two planned to hide until death was actually revealed to Xu Cheng by the devil.

Seeing Xu Cheng walking towards Omar, Caroline subconsciously exclaimed: "Locke, no!

"

But Omar raised his hand the most violently, interrupting Caroline's words.

He looked at Xu Cheng walking over, countless complicated emotions flashed through his heart, and finally turned into calm.

Forget it, it will always come. Hasn't he rehearsed this scene several times in his mind?

"Locke, I was the one who killed your parents. It was all my fault and had nothing to do with Caroline..."

Omar's tone was extremely dry and painful, but he stopped mid-sentence.

Because Xu Cheng, who came over, opened his hands and hugged him hard.

"Thank you for raising me up, my dear teacher..."

Xu Cheng hugged his thin body tightly: "No, maybe I should call you - dear father."

Omar's mouth opened slightly, and he froze on the spot.

After a while, he gradually came back to his senses. His eyes were already red and his nose was sore.

This tough guy who used to never shed tears no matter how much pain and suffering he suffered, now felt the urge to cry.

"Good boy..."

Omar's voice was choked, and she raised her hand and gently stroked Xu Cheng's hair.
