In the dizzy shadow beneath Aiwass, something was slowly pouring out from inside.
It was a woman with a majestic temperament, her legs crossed, like a queen sitting on a throne.
This is also a form that Shadow Demon has never shown to Aiwass——
She has long straight hair that is as black as a shadow, and the hair strands are connected to each other. The outside is pure pitch black, while the inside is dark red like blood.
She didn't wear glasses on her face, but her turbid green pupils looked more like a lone wolf than Bayard.
Other than that, she and Bayard have exactly the same appearance. There is not even any difference in their appearance age.
After Shadow Demon appeared, he sighed deeply, not knowing what he was worried about.
She first turned around and carefully buttoned up the clothes that were open on Aiwass's chest one by one, and then stretched out her slender and strong fingers to help Aiwass adjust the collar of the clothes.
After some of the crumpled clothes in Bayard's arms became neat again, he hugged Aiwass and turned around in an orderly manner.
She and No. 14 both have black hair and blue eyes, and their appearance is somewhat similar. At this moment, the two of them are hugging each other like an elder sister hugging her younger sister.
The bats scattered across the shadow line just made a rustling sound, but did not react in any way.
It's like being stunned.
"What's the matter, Bayard?"
Shadow Demon showed a sarcastic smile: "After seeing me, will you not be able to speak?"
Her left hand holding Aiwass was already supporting her chin, and she was fiddling with her earlobe with the side of her thumb. At this moment, she was even using the index and middle fingers of her left hand roughly as a demonstration.
Put it in Aiwass's mouth and pull out the tip of her tongue.
Aiwass glanced at her.
Seeing that Shadow Demon seemed to want to look cool, he decided to give her this face for the time being.
——Let’s talk about it after we get back.
Along with her movements, Shadow Demon's right hand was raised casually.
The thread of shadow that covered the entire room and penetrated the bat suddenly sprouted countless needles of different lengths.
The pierced bats instantly turned into balls of blood without internal organs.
The blood aggregated into clumps like liquid without gravity and floated upward.
They gathered in the center and transformed into human form again. Only her glasses fell to the ground, but they were not broken because the carpet was soft enough.
And the previous web of shadows instantly dissipated and regenerated - it originally ran through the room repeatedly, but now it turned into a rather orderly spider web, hanging Bayard in the air again.
Bayard is not powerless to tear apart the shackles of this cobweb.
But the sight in front of her made her frown and her heart beat wildly——
The shock welled up from the bottom of her heart and she didn't know what to say at this moment.
This was exactly the scene she had seen countless times in her nightmares.
——As if on both sides of a mirror, two almost identical people are looking at each other.
One is sitting on the bed, holding a girl, with a wild expression... The other is hung in the sky by dark shadow spider webs, with a complicated expression.
"Ah."
Seeing that Bayard was still silent, Miss Shadow Demon sneered: "Didn't you think of this situation? I don't think it's right. If it were me, I should have thought about this possibility... I should have even dreamed about it in my dream.
.
"How can I not become a demon by dying with such resentment? And if my soul becomes a demon, then who are you?"
As she spoke, she pulled out the finger that was playing with Aiwass' tongue without leaving any trace.
She leaned against the side of Aiwass's face and took a deep breath, casting her playful eyes at Bayard who was hanging silently in the sky.
"Say something, Miss Bayard. Give me some reaction, don't be like a corpse... Oh, I'm sorry, you are just a corpse. Or I can do something in front of you that I wanted to do before but couldn't.
thing?"
"...Do you recognize your master?"
Bayard finally spoke: "Such a weak master?"
Her first sentence seemed offensive, but it revealed an inexplicable paleness.
Because she avoided answering Shadow Demon's questions. This has shown her confusion of thinking. Of course, Aiwass' performance may also have played a role.
Shadow Demon just laughed. First he sneered, and then he laughed loudly.
It was the first time she laughed in her native voice in front of Aiwass - it was a rather sharp and aggressive laugh, which sounded aloof and arrogant.
"yes."
Shadow Demon suddenly stopped laughing and responded seriously: "You are so weak. But no one can make me more satisfied.
"My dear master, when he was so weak that he would be broken at the touch of a touch, he said something to kill Tiansi's people. It was not cruel words, but a definite and possible plan.
"And in this case, she still dared to ask for power from that Tiansi. What does this mean? Because she didn't even regard Tiansi as an old enemy - she neither hated nor was wary of him, and even got along with him as an equal.
"Is that fearlessness due to ignorance?"
Shadow Demon looked at Bayard and said softly: "Of course not. That is the ambition to move forward despite knowing the danger, and the courage to seriously challenge an enemy that is impossible to defeat.
"—Just like us, isn't it?"
When Shadow Demon said this, the hostility in her words had dissipated.
As the one whose name and identity were taken away, she was able to put down her hostility first.
This is certainly not gentleness and forgiveness - "Bayard" has never been related to words like that. As early as when she was still a human, she had already learned how to usurp power over the corpses and pain of others.
Legend has it that humans are the sons of Ego and the Snake Father.
Therefore, human beings have the adaptability of the nine paths, but transcendence and love are the most common and profound.
——Ambition and desire.
That is what drives the profit machine called "Bayard". What restrains her behavior is not morality and law - it is the pride in her heart.
The "Miss Bayard" in front of me is just a fictional soul fabricated by the Pillar God.
No matter what kind of hatred you still have in your heart, there is no need to throw it at her. It has no meaning and is just false comfort.
Miss Bayard, who was put down by the Shadow Demon, rubbed her wrists that were slightly red from being hung up, and asked:
"...Don't you want to eat me?"
Shadow Demon just looked at her sarcastically and said nothing.
She hugged Aiwass harder. She leaned forward, pressed her cold and plump body against Aiwass, and put her chin on her shoulders.
Although Shadow Demon's touch was as cold and biting as the snow on a winter night, Aiwass did not push her away.
She has gradually understood what happened in the past.
——The Shadow Demon is an amorphous, sexless demon, and its body is just a ball of smoke that will never see the light of day.
Any form it can change into is the harvest of eating the other party.
Just like she took away the voice and body of the assassin Miss Chloe.
The shadow demon can never change back to its previous life because it is already dead. It is just a shadow that has been deprived of everything. There is no use in eating the corpse.
And since Shadow Demon can now transform into Bayard and make the same sound as Bayard...
That means that the once reborn Shadow Demon also successfully swallowed Bayard, the son of the moon.
Only when "the corpse is transformed into a child of the moon" can the shadow demon become what he was in his previous life.
However, although Shadow Demon can also change back to her own appearance and make her own voice... she also has the same memory of her past life as Bayard, the Son of the Moon. From this point of view, she even gained immortality and strength.
the power of.
But she obviously no longer presided over the "Bayard Group" in the mortal world like the Moon Child, but returned to the dream world, staying quietly and alone in the shadow realm.
Now without its commander-in-chief, the Bayard Group has long since disappeared into the dust of history.
——She didn’t bother to steal Bayard’s name.
Even if it was me once, it has nothing to do with me now.
"What would I do if I killed you? What's the use?"
Shadow Demon finally spoke, making a cold and sober voice: "You are not the real Bayard. Neither am I.
