After Aiwass took the elevator and left the top floor of Lloyd's headquarters, he did not leave Lloyd's directly, but instead went to the seventeenth floor.
That's the floor where Attorney York Hermes's office is located.
He has been dead for some time now, but the office was not transferred to Lloyd's immediately.
On the one hand, this is because more than half of Lloyd's senior executives have been imprisoned, and the remaining people do not dare to make any big moves; on the other hand, because the Inspectorate has used legal skills to seal this place.
ban.
Aiwass opened the seal without hesitation, and the crow on his shoulder flew down and pecked at the door lock. Then the door opened by itself, and they walked in directly.
The room, which had not been opened for a long time, was filled with a dusty, old smell.
The surrounding furnishings are almost unchanged from the past.
It's just that most of the green plants that were well taken care of by the York lawyer are now dead. The beautiful green parrot in the bird cage has died long ago. The starved corpse did not rot and smell, but became dry and shrunken. And the water
The tank was filled with goldfish carcasses, and the water became turbid.
Only the group photos hanging on the walls are no different from the past.
The high-spirited years of the York lawyer in the past were frozen in photos. Even though he has been dead for many days and his reputation has been ruined, he still smiles so brightly and happily in the photos.
"Ah……"
Aiwass looked up at the photos and suddenly chuckled, as if he was mocking something.
The crow on his shoulder disappeared silently like a shadow.
She transformed into the posture of a night devil, holding on to the seat behind her desk with one hand.
The shadow-like wings behind the Night Demon spread out, and the dust in the entire room was blown away by the whirlwind. The corpses in the fish tank and birdcage all disintegrated and dissipated. A turbid filth flow was triggered in the fish tank.
As for the people in the photos, their faces became blank after a gust of black wind blew by.
When Aiwass turned her head, she had transformed back into the crow, standing quietly in the birdcage. Only the seat she pulled out from behind the desk was slowly rotating.
"...It's mainly about being a guest, right?"
Aiwass smiled and sat calmly in the seat that Night Demon had pulled out for him.
He took a deep breath and whispered: "Please bring me a candle, Vines."
The crow opened the birdcage and flew out, flying to the side cabinet.
Aiwass was sitting in the original position of York's lawyer, gently touching the deeply visible scar on his collarbone. The severe pain made him take a breath.
His flesh and blood from the clavicle to the shoulder blade had been peeled off and eaten, and the bones could be seen with the naked eye.
Aiwass's blood has already soaked into the clothes of his upper body, his sensitive nerves are screaming in pain, and the blood vessels in his forehead are beating fiercely due to pain. In other words, Aiwass has reached the third level of devotion...
If an ordinary person is seriously injured like this, it is impossible to walk around without anyone noticing. If he leaves it alone, he will only bleed to death.
But for Aiwass, this injury is no longer fatal. After just walking a few steps, the bleeding has stopped and the injury is no longer getting worse. At most, it will be basically healed by the time he gets up tomorrow.
A rough idea.
But if you want to grow back so much lost flesh and blood, it may take a few more days.
However, Aiwass would have to pick up Isabel later. Therefore, Aiwass still had to use a fire sacrificial technique to quickly recover from his injuries.
After lighting the candle held by the crow, Aiwass stretched his hand towards the candle flame and closed his eyes at the same time.
The wound on his neck emitted white smoke and healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The missing flesh and blood grew back - the flesh, nerves, and blood vessels were separated like tentacles and built together. It was like building a house.
Generally, quick watering and shaping will eventually restore it completely.
Aiwass, on the other hand, was reviewing his actions this time in the sense of tranquility immersed in the fire.
——He is a little too exaggerated this time.
Perhaps it was because in the last promotion ceremony, Aiwass took the initiative to break away from Bayard's "enchanted" state... This made him subconsciously underestimate the value of Emma the Succubus.
Another reason is because he still has the Night Demon with him.
Although Aiwass tried his best to control the Night Demon not to attack the opponent... but whenever Aiwass was in real danger, Vines would definitely take action to save Aiwass. This made Aiwass' vigilance relax a little.
As a result, Aiwass was controlled after a face-to-face encounter.
He savored the feeling of being controlled by charm.
……how to say.
Just like an innocent little boy in love for the first time, he jumps high and wants to fulfill all the wishes of the person he likes. Just looking at each other can feel joy, body touch, and the moment he feels the temperature, he will be confused and infatuated. And now
When the other party feels troubled, Aiwass subconsciously switches his thinking stance to "thinking about the other party."
Even when Night Demon wanted to attack the opponent several times, he stopped the Night Demon because he was worried about the opponent's safety. He could hear Vignes yelling anxiously in his heart, but he just comforted the opponent without caring.
——Even explaining that everything is normal.
"Is this the effect of love elixir..."
Aiwass murmured in a low voice, a little scared: "The path of love... is really scary."
Fortunately, Vignes' attack briefly awakened him.
The pain at that moment made Aiwass wake up for a moment.
Although Emma soon wanted to charm Aiwass again, Aiwass had gradually realized what had happened. After that, he assigned Vignes a task. When he fell into this kind of "saying it" again,
"Don't listen", it attacks itself again and begins to eat its own flesh and blood.
Later, when Emma held Aiwass' hand, Aiwass immediately felt his heart softening.
——He is even trying to relieve himself of the task he just assigned.
He continued to resist the temptation with his willpower, but in Emma's soft whisper, Aiwass's consciousness gradually fell into the abyss again.
Perhaps because of the constant physical contact with Emma this time, the mental control this time was even deeper than before.
Even if Vines attacked Aiwass again, he would not be able to wake up immediately like before.
So Vines directly followed the task assigned by Aiwass before and began to attack Aiwass ferociously and eat his flesh and blood.
During this period of time, Aiwass, who frequently used the shepherding technique every day, had almost developed a habit. The charm state just made Aiwass not want to be an enemy of Emma, and wanted to obey her orders and requirements... But
This does not distort Aiwass' other behavioral logic and habits.
After Vines expressed her hunger, Aiwass instinctively tried to feed her. Just like a nursing mother subconsciously wants to feed her when she hears her child crying.
——The moment Aiwass entered the state of "compassion and sacrifice" of pastoral care, the charm was suddenly lifted.
Part of the reason is because the shepherding method has covered Emma's charming aura; and part of the reason is because Emma has been controlled by Aiwass in turn.
As a blood-sucking moon child and an incarnation of the devil, she could not resist the charm of Aiwass's pastoral method. From this perspective, Aiwass even charmed her in turn - just like the technique used to tame the shadow demon at that time.
Same.
In other words, even if the demon in Emma has not yet broken out of her body, she has actually been judged as a demon by the shepherding method. The shepherding method is effective for all phantom demons, especially for demons that transcend the path.
efficient.
In other words, it was precisely because her demon soul and Moonchild's body both longed for Aiwass's flesh and blood that the extremely strong appetite in her body had overwhelmed the succubus's original sinful mark of lust.
Interrupting control with control... This may also be regarded as a kind of control offset.
Although Aiwass did not complete her pastoral care, the moment Emma revealed her desire for Aiwass's flesh and blood, she had already become Aiwass's "child".
Just like the imprint of Emma still remains in Aiwass's spirit - now that he closes his eyes, the pink pupils in his mind will flash by when he thinks of Emma, and he still can't kill Emma.
Hand. And as long as Emma cannot completely forget the abnormally swollen appetite when she looked at Aiwass, she will not be able to charm Aiwass wholeheartedly.
And in this "deadlock" situation, the person who has the initiative to break the deadlock is Aiwass.
Because he can actively enter the state of shepherding at any time to paralyze Emma's natural ability as a succubus.
Although that also means that Aiwass is also controlled by himself and loses life quickly... but he still has Venes to protect him.
——Even so, Aiwass is extremely afraid of Emma.
Although she is just a succubus... she is far from the first in terms of power and danger.
But she is the first BOSS who is hostile to Aiwass but does not know the opponent's intelligence after awakening the memory of his past life, and she is also the only person who can really kill Aiwass.
"etc……"
Aiwass's expression froze slightly.
He suddenly realized something was wrong.
...from yesterday to today.
Isn’t everything that I have experienced a bit too coincidental?
