In the second half of the night, the flames were almost extinguished, and only the burning charcoal and the last wisp of flame were still struggling, trying to break the cage of darkness.
Lester, who added some new branches to the fire, pressed his hand on the handle of the moon rose, looking coldly into the darkness in the distance, ready to wake Elena up.
At the moment when the open fire was about to die, the ghostly and dead forest seemed to come to life, with low murmurs echoing in all directions, and strange black shadows hovering in the darkness, flickering like a vision that did not exist.
In the illusion, the black shadow is still extending its ghostly claw-like shadow tentacles and moving towards the flame, as if to completely extinguish this last ray of hope, leaving mankind in complete despair in the darkness.
Lester had discovered some uninvited guests hidden in the woods at night as early as the night before. He was just not sure what these things in the darkness were, whether they came from the material realm or the spiritual realm.
In order to explore what was hidden in the complete darkness, Lester stopped adding firewood after several attempts and allowed the fire to dim.
The moment the fire turned into sparks, overwhelming evil thoughts came from the depths of darkness. He did not expect that there were so many ghosts hidden in the darkness. When he was not sure whether his existing methods were effective, in order to
Without hurting Elena, Lester decided to light the fire again. He had confirmed that the bright firelight could drive away the ferocious ghosts not far away. It seemed that the prerequisite for launching an attack was absolute darkness.
As the brand new firewood was thrown into the bonfire, the flames regained their previous vitality, the bright light dispersed the darkness, the ghosts and depressing whispers disappeared one after another, and the woods returned to their previous calm and tranquility.
Deathly silence, compared with the terrifying chaos before, the deathly silence at this moment actually has a strange sense of peace of mind.
Glancing at Elena, who was still sleeping peacefully, Lester didn't know whether this girl was really stupid and unsuspecting, or whether she really trusted her own abilities and didn't wake up in such a dangerous situation. Man
He couldn't help but sigh, he would rather believe it was the latter, otherwise a woman's style of doing things would suffer big losses sooner or later.
Even if you trust others, you should still maintain the most basic vigilance. Lester has long understood that the most reliable person in the world is always himself, and others can never be relied on.
After standing up and confirming that Elena was indeed sleeping deeply, Lester picked up the moon rose and walked outside, hiding behind a big tree. The man whispered to himself.
"Evelin, have you seen those things? Judging from the appearance alone, you don't seem to be much different from them."
An enchanting shadow figure sprang up from the ground, clinging to the man's body like a boneless spiritual snake. Evelin wrapped her arms around Lester's neck. The golden devil's erect pupils were so beautiful that it was intoxicating. The devil's
The shadowy ice lips pressed against the outer shell of the man's ear, sending out seductive and depraved whispers in the smooth movements.
"Master~ How can those lowly spirits be compared with your most perfect demon servant Evelin? Evelin naturally knows their despicable and despicable nature, but before Evelin tells the master the truth, should the master let Evelin
Lin gets some energy?"
As he spoke, the devil's hands became less regular.
Lester knew that he and the devil, who had not yet fully metamorphosed and developed, had not had much technical exchange for three years, and the child was completely depressed.
Knowing that this time the gluttonous demon would not let it go, Lester could only agree with the other party's behavior. As before, the demon's limbs were still as cold as shadows, but Evelin also had her own advantages -
—No one can harm an invisible shadow.
After watching countless sparring sessions in the dark shadows, she had already mastered her master's favorite way of playing cards. If Evelin hadn't been able to master the ability to fully anthropomorphize, I'm afraid Lester would have felt that he couldn't use it.
Use the cards in your hand to resist this talking demon. It really understands human preferences. Its appearance, voice, and even movements are all Lester's favorite.
Similarly, Lester also understood very well what the devil Evelin wanted.
"Evelin, I don't remember teaching you how to bargain with me. It seems that you have forgotten your identity and who gave you your name."
Before the demon core could regain its calmness, Lester made a new move. He chose to directly throw the king bomb.
In the poker game with the devil, Lester had no idea of holding back. He knew that the more excited his emotions were, the happier Evelin would be. This was why he no longer played with Evelin as often as before.
An important reason for playing poker is that he was afraid that if he played too much poker with the female devil, he would become abnormal.
Even if it is not the devil's original intention, playing too much poker will make you unknowingly change your personality and behavior. Just like playing too many special games, ordinary poker games will not satisfy you, and
Poker games that are too difficult are likely to harm other normal gameplay, which is something he doesn't want to see.
Unknowingly, the winner between the two was decided. Evelin dropped her cards, rolled her eyes and passed out. Fortunately, Lester performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the demon in time, and the unconscious demon opened his eyes again.
.
"Evelin, I have already satisfied your willful demands. Even if you are a devil, you must learn to stop in moderation."
After hearing the man's teachings, the humanoid demon lowered his head to show submission.
"My master, I understand, there is just one more thing I want to figure out."
I saw a rare seriousness in Evelin's eyes, and Lester was also a little serious.
"Tell me, if I can answer."
"In the eyes of you, Master, what exactly is Evelin? What do you want Evelin to be? A devil? A domesticated pet? Or, in your eyes, am I a human being?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is a question that seems simple but is actually very complicated. Lester knows that if his choice cannot be approved by Evelin, he may lose a lot of favor.
For such easy-to-make questions, Lester never answers at the pace of others.
"Why do you want me to give you a clear definition?"
The serious expression became much softer. The man reached out and caressed the devil's cheek, tracing it along the face. His right hand stopped at the chin and raised it slightly with his fingers.
During this period, the demon did not flinch at all. He just stared at the man he called his 'master' seriously, with both expectation and worry in his consciousness.
"You are Evelin, you belong to me, the unique Evelin, whether it is a devil, a human, or a pet, it should not be the final appearance of Evelin, nor will it be the definition I give you.
, just like my shadow, you choose me, I choose you, we become one, this is enough, we have no distinction between each other, and there is no betrayal."
This is a new emotional experience that is far better than satisfying your appetite.
The devil's core began to tremble unnaturally, and Evelin savored a strange feeling she had never experienced before. She understood that this feeling seemed to be called shyness by humans.
Evelin took the initiative to transform into a shadow cat and jumped into the man's arms.
"I don't quite understand, but I can feel the master's love for me, and Evelin also likes the master the most."
Sitting back by the bonfire, Lester rubbed the belly of the cat in his arms and asked using the telepathic link.
[Now can you tell me what the lowly ‘desire spirit’ you call is. 】
After licking the man's arm, the black cat glanced at the human female with her eyes closed not far away, and explained with a strange smile.
[I think the master should know that demons are born from human desires. As long as desires are immortal, demons will live forever. If big demons like Nocturne and I are a collection of certain desires of all humans, then under special circumstances
Next, the desire of a single powerful human will also form a unique desire spirit. The owner can also call it a little devil.
This land is a relatively special environment. The barrier between the material realm and the spiritual and soul realm is very easy to break, which will become the best breeding ground for the birth of little devils.
Unlike us big devils who have independent consciousness and free movement, little devils are easily affected by the environment and the source of their hosts. They also have unique natural weaknesses, just like those masters you just saw who want to extinguish the light.
The little devils with flames, they were born from the twisted desires of some powerful souls. They can neither leave this special spiritual barrier nor forcefully attack you, the master, under the light of the fire. They can only try first
Only when the fire is extinguished can the next step be taken. This is why they will not attack during the day.
Although they are not as good as us big demons, these little demons are not comparable to those evil spirits and ordinary spirits. If I guessed correctly, the little demons the master saw just now have special talents of hallucination and sensory deprivation.
Talent is a dangerous power that the little devil will use since its birth. It does not pose a threat to the owner, but that is not necessarily the case for the human woman. The monkey monster in her mouth is probably an illusion created by the little devil for her, trying to make her
She passed out from the mental stress and waited until night fell to devour her soul. If it were not for her master, she would have died without being able to make a fire after dark. In my opinion, she should dedicate her body and loyalty to her master and use her life and soul to
To please the master...ah woo~]
After using his head to stop Cat Fulin's nonsense, Lester continued to ask calmly.
[According to what you said, these little demons will actually gradually grow as they devour souls? Is it okay to absorb more desires from the host of the source of desire? 】
Flynn, the cat covering her head with her paws, responded aggrievedly.
[Yes Master, in addition to devouring human souls, absorbing more desires from desire generators can also make them grow, but it will make the growth rate very slow. Take me as an example, the Master uses life essence and
Raising me with my own desires is the most stable, but the most efficient way to grow. On top of this, the master feeding me with human souls allows me to directly obtain a large amount of survival energy, but this is not the fastest.
The fastest way is also the most dangerous way, which is to achieve rapid growth by hunting other big demons and devouring the demon cores of other big demons. This is also the main reason why I can speak after perfectly absorbing Nocturne's demon core. If not
Nocturne's demonic core, even if it is fed according to the human soul feeding method, it will take hundreds of years for me to evolve and gain the ability to speak.
In the eyes of my master, I just learned to speak, but on the path of devil's evolution, I have reached a height that I have never reached before. This is a fundamental change that cannot be accurately described in words. This evolution allows me to
Understand many things and rules in the physical realm more easily.]
After thinking for a moment, Lester found the breaking point of the mental maze.
[Since the little devil still maintains some kind of connection with the host of the source of desire, and the little devil host in the mental maze is definitely not an ordinary outsider, it can only be some person hidden in the spiritual maze.
Strong man, this means that if I can find the connection between the little devil and the host, and use the little devil to determine the direction, I can get out of the spiritual maze and go deeper, right?]
Feline, the cat, was happily wagging her tail as her belly was being scratched by her owner's fingers.
[It should be like this, meow~ As long as the owner can capture a little devil, I can help the owner find the connection medium between the little devil and the source of desire, and help the owner determine the direction, meow~]
Regarding Cat Fulin's cute behavior, Lester was completely sure that after devouring the demon core that Nocturne had accumulated for many years, the demon in front of him would definitely not grow at all.
If she continues to grow, will Evelin betray herself?
The thought in his mind just flashed by, and Lester patted the cat on the back with some dissatisfaction.
[In the final analysis, you haven’t explained how the devil will be captured or restrained. You came to me on your own, and I left you without any means. All you did was eat and sleep.
, so far he hasn’t done much for me.】
Shaking her head proudly, Cat Fulin raised her hind legs and touched Lester's palm.
[Finding the master is the most proud thing for Evelin. From far away, I smelled the master's aura full of strong desire. Sure enough, the master did not refuse my arrival, and was willing to give up his precious life essence.
He has raised me with the energy of desire for so long and treats me like a human being. Evelin likes her master the most~]
After stroking the black shadowed cat's tail several times, Lester thought of every detail of his relationship with Evelin for more than ten years, and felt a little warm in his heart. Judging from the current situation, Evelin did not seem to be the same.
There is no reason to betray yourself, so what do you have to worry about?
Who else could provide Evelin with such good living conditions besides herself?
[Okay, I know you like me, please tell me how you can catch the little devil. 】
[Does that need to be said? Whether it’s lust or fear...
Master, what attracts demons is always the most primitive desire of human beings. The master already has me. The little devil will definitely not dare to attack the master, but the master is not the only one here.
As long as you, Master, can lure a little devil into that female body, Evelin can control the little devil.】
Glancing at Elena who was sleeping beside the campfire, Lester asked.
[Will this process cause harm to Elena? 】
[Whether it will cause harm depends on what you do as the master. If the master can continue to arouse the most primitive desire of the female, then the little devil will not harm the human soul and will only continue to reside in the body and absorb desires.
Even demons know how to make the best use of their resources. Just like when I first met my master, I didn’t just follow my instincts. The more I can gain, the better. The life of a demon is also very difficult. Meow...]
Looking down at the cat Flynn who kept arching her body waiting for his touch, Lester rubbed the cat's head angrily.
[I almost believed all your nonsense. As expected, I can’t believe a word you demons say.]
