"...huh."

Lawyer York suddenly opened his eyes and started coughing violently.

He turned over and coughed until he coughed up a mouthful of dirty blood clots, and then his breathing became easier.

He glanced back.

The door to the archives room was closed, and the other party had left. The accomplice who stole the information was also missing.

Subsequently, his body began to undergo drastic changes - as he became demonized, characteristics from the trapper demon began to emerge from his body.

Many soft, tentacle-like pink granules appeared on his hands and arms. They were flying spontaneously and unconsciously in the air, like some kind of tentacles, sensing everything around them. They were eating organs that could capture dreams and memories.

The pupils turned into a dense mass of pink, with a dark red cross star shining in the middle. His back became rickety, his body became skinny, and a long snake-like tail emerged from behind.

When he was transformed into a demon, the wounds he suffered were also healed.

"I survived..."

York murmured.

His voice became as sharp as a woman's, with a slight sound of metal friction in it.

No matter what kind of devil the contract is, the devil has a strong vitality. Even if it is advanced to become a devil, the basic characteristics from the devil will not disappear.

Just a fatal injury to the heart would not directly lead to his death.

If you want to kill the devil cleanly, the best way is to blow the head off, cut off the head, or directly take away the heart. Even if the heart is torn in half, it can be restored again by the strong vitality shared by the devil.

This kind of vitality is very similar to those savage trolls in the southern continent. Because of this, in the past, when a demon who had just been possessed by a demon was found in Avalon, he would be directly burned at the stake - the slain demon.

If you leave it alone, you will be able to get up and run away after a while.

The flame can block the regeneration power of the troll, so people also infer from the phenomenon to the essence, thinking that this can also completely kill the troll.

But in fact, the reason why fire torture really killed these demons was because the flames continued to cause harm to them. While the body was recovering, it was burned and tortured for a long time before death. Later, Queen Sophia abolished this cruel method.

As punishment, only the ordinary death penalty is used.

There is no doubt...since the other party is also a demon, he must also know that the demon has strong vitality.

So if he didn't choose to kill himself completely, he could only deliberately spare his life.

York didn't feel resentful that the other party attacked him - maybe a little bit, but not much. What was more important was the information obtained from it.

Combined with what he said before, that man was obviously under the orders of his mentor. But judging from his behavior, he was not loyal to that mentor.

He may have been bound by a contract by his mentor, so he must kill himself once.

This is very possible.

After all, that is a demon possessed by the shadow demon, and it seems that he has sold a lot of souls, and most of his body is controlled by the shadow demon. For such a demon, the first energy level can surpass the third energy level.

...It is quite reasonable for his mentor to be worried.

It was because of his dissatisfaction that he went against his mentor's wishes and deliberately allowed himself to survive. For this reason, he even said some unnecessary words to show his origin.

What does he want to do?

York suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Does he want the skill of 'violating the covenant'?"

"hehe……"

The quiet decoy demon in his body heard his thoughts and couldn't help but laugh: "Keep guessing, we're almost close - already close to 1%."

Don't disturb me. York responded dissatisfiedly in his heart.

The Trapper is always like this, good at deceiving. Even if you are its master, the Trapper will always deceive you.

The first few times, he would believe the analysis and opinions of the trapper, but later he realized that the other party had deliberately brought him into the ditch. He just wanted to kill himself and then leave. From then on, York no longer believed the other party's words.

This is very possible.

Lloyd's Company inherits the mysterious skill of "Breach of Contract" left by the first generation of Lloyd's President, which can break contracts and oaths without punishment.

If he is controlled by someone using a contract, then it would be reasonable to ask for his help to break the contract.

So, why didn't he go to the president?

And as someone from the president's side, how could he not know Boca's address and still need to provide it himself?

After transforming into a trapper, York's thinking speed increased a lot.

He quickly thought of a possibility that was reasonable enough:

That devil’s mentor may not be from Lloyd’s, but from the Noble Red Society!

Only the president's faction in the Lloyd's Society has completely moved towards the Noble Red Society. Although he and the vice-president have also joined the society, it is possible that the society's senior leaders have seen their "heart of transcendence".

The association only keeps them as a check and balance. In order to seek more benefits from both parties.

But maybe today's association...or at least the devil's mentor, thinks that just keeping the president is enough. So they have to go out of their way to eliminate the influence of the vice-president's faction, and the president is not aware of this plan.

of.

——This way everything makes sense!

The devil and his mentor belong to a certain faction in the Noble Red Society, but not too high. Because the only information they know is the vice president and his name... and now they will come to the office to attack him, right?

Because the other party doesn't actually know where they live, they can only find their own law firm, so they plan to ambush here and wait for the enemy.

And this devil didn't think that his mentor's plan was perfect. So he decided to hedge his bets and didn't intend to let himself die directly. From then on, he stopped looking back and deliberately spared his own life.

These possibilities were all deduced by York's lawyer based on what he saw and heard and the fact that he is still alive.

Maybe there may be a little difference from the facts, but the rest should be the truth.

"Then I have to fake death."

York Hermes reacted: "If I show my face again, he may be sent by his mentor to kill him again.

"Then I can't handle this matter myself. I must inform the vice president..."

With this thought in mind, he walked out of the archives room and went to the living room to dial the vice president's phone number.

"I'm Bran Boka."

Although it was still dark, the phone was picked up instantly. Then, a steady voice rang.

York whispered: "Something's happened, Mr. Boca."

"I know." Vice President Boca replied.

……you know?

What do you know? Do you know that I was killed? Or do you know that I gave information about you?

York cursed.

But soon, Vice President Boca reacted: "Your voice? Are you...?"

"I am York. I was attacked and killed once and turned into a demon. It may take another half a day to recover."

Lawyer York continued and expressed his reasoning: "The person who attacked me is a very powerful demon, probably from the Noble Red Society. They have a close relationship with President Lloyd, so they plan to get rid of us."

On the other end of the phone, Vice President Boka asked: "A demon possessed by a shadow demon?"

"how do you know?"

York was stunned for a moment: "Have you seen it?"

"No, not really. Aiwass was attacked by him last night and disappeared. That's why I got up so early... Although Aiwass has not yet inherited the Moriarty family, his status is basically the same.

His attack and disappearance is a major event that can shake up the Round Table Hall."

"Didn't we send people to attack Aiwass last night?" York frowned.

"Yes, they are all dead. The specific situation is not clear yet. I am trying to figure it all out... I think they may have been killed by this shadow demon. Since you said he is the president's person... then

I probably understand what’s going on.”

Vice President Boca responded calmly.

"The people who attacked you are the same people who attacked Aiwass."

His voice was calm with a little bit of hatred and anger that was not completely hidden: "He still plans to stop my plan! He also recognizes Aiwass's status and talent, so he is afraid of Aiwass. It's because of him

I don’t want Aiwass to enter my camp, so I plan to kill him directly... even at the risk of exposing Lloyd!

"From the very beginning, he had no intention of letting us demonstrate our abilities and loyalty - he directly killed the people I sent out and kidnapped Aiwass. I think he might have wanted to force those people to

A 'Moriarty' joins their faction.

"In this case, we may have to be prepared to completely destroy him. If a 'Moriarty' turns his gun and points it at us, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"I think..."

Maybe it was done by people from the Noble Red Society - Lawyer York thought.

But before he could say these words, his chest, shoulders, and the back of his head were all pierced by shadow blades.

York dropped the microphone in his hand.
