There is only one truth

Chapter 161,988 words17 min read

The City Garrison was not under the management of the Silver Codex, but had the obligation to assist the Silver Codex in dealing with demons.

Just like now, even if Mr. Brown Jr. cried himself hoarse, the soldiers would not let him go to destroy the scene.

It was somewhat ruthless, but it was also to ensure that the traces were not damaged.

“My father may not be dead yet, but your inaction may be the real reason for killing him!” Mr. Brown Jr. shouted hoarsely.

Although he had said it many times, the soldier still said helplessly, “We have already detected that there are no living people in the building. I can understand your feelings. Please be patient, we will definitely bring the demons to justice!”

On the other side, on top of the collapsed building.

A thin figure was wearing a black robe, with many strange blood-colored abstract symbols engraved on the robe.

Another figure wearing plate armor, a big guy who was at least two and a half meters tall, felt a little uncomfortable looking at it, and quickly avoided his gaze.

A thick voice sounded, “How is it, do you have any clues?”

“Judging from the traces of magic power in the air, it is confirmed to be Gluttony, but…”

A low muffled teenage voice sounded, the face under the black robe should be very young.

He bent down, looked at the blood and flesh that could not be distinguished, stretched out his hand, and stroked the blood stains on it.

The blood mixed with dust stained his fingertips.

Before, they were hidden under the black robe, but only now did the big guy notice that the hand of this person from the Court of Hunters was abnormally thin, and the palms and backs of his hands were engraved with crooked, densely packed concentric circles.

The big guy quickly turned his gaze away. Just looking at it for a while made him feel dizzy, “But what, Lord Shadow?”

As the branch captain of the City Garrison in this area, Mavis’s superior, Eiger originally looked down on this thin kid.

He felt that if he punched him, he could die ten times.

But that was on the premise of hitting him.

The passive ability of the other party made Eiger uncomfortable, and he didn’t want to provoke these people, so he put away some of his contempt.

The thin teenager named Shadow stretched out his tongue and licked the blood stained with dust from bottom to top.

His lips wriggled, and he seemed to close his eyes and taste it carefully.

“Doubt, incomprehension… He seems to have been betrayed.”

He licked it again, continuing to taste.

“Desire? No, no, it’s a succubus. He thinks he was killed by a succubus.”

“Then, what about the gluttony magic?” Eiger asked doubtfully.

Although he could check the causes and consequences more clearly after filing it, he was a little curious now.

“Didn’t Mavis just catch a demon who might be on the run? He should be able to give us the answer.”

“Cough cough…” Eiger coughed twice. Could he say that Mavis had actually caught the wrong person a lot of times? This time, it was probably also…

Those people couldn’t sue Mavis, afraid of Mavis, so they vented their anger on him, and sued him.

He received court summons every other day, and he was quite annoyed by this.

“I need to go to the Court of Judgment. What about you?” Shadow looked at Eiger.

Eiger glanced around and first asked his own question, “Do we need to preserve the traces at the scene?”

Shadow shook his head, “No need, you can let the victim’s family collect the body first.”

Eiger nodded, “Then I’ll stay and deal with the scene. Anyway, it’s useless for me to go.”

“Okay.” Shadow started walking. He didn’t seem to be wearing shoes, his dry feet falling directly on the rubble, but he didn’t seem to feel anything and continued to set off.

Eiger blinked and suddenly found that the twisted abstract runes on Shadow’s black robe were gone, turning into a pure black robe.

As Shadow passed by, he glanced at Mr. Brown Jr., who was stopped by the soldiers, and shook his head imperceptibly.

He had been drained of his vitality by the demons. This life was considered to have a root of illness, and he wouldn’t live long.

Eiger was thinking about how to explain it to the Brown family.

If he just said “go back and wait for notification”, he would definitely receive a summons tomorrow.

Holderma, as a country of law, lacked everything, but it didn’t lack enthusiastic judges and law students.

The legal resources were maxed out, and there were many trivial matters to be resolved in court.

In Bertha’s small restaurant.

Linlin looked at Little Lin with suspicion.

Little Lin said helplessly, “I’m really not being controlled.”

But Linlin didn’t believe it, she suspected that the Lonely Mourner had taken over this part of her soul.

Little Lin couldn’t explain, what could she do? She could never finish proving the trap.

“Little Linlin, watch carefully, it’s very simple.”

Bertha took a step forward, conjuring red magic power in her hand and explaining along the way.

Linlin listened carefully, her eyes understood, but her brain didn’t.

Bertha gently touched Little Lin’s wrist with her finger, and then stroked her entire arm, passing her collarbone.

Little Lin felt a little itchy, but didn’t dare to move.

Her fingertips brushed across Little Lin’s neck, and Little Lin could feel the cool fingertips stroking her carotid artery.

They stopped at her chin, her thumb and forefinger closed, pinching it, and lifting it up.

Little Lin looked at Bertha’s slightly glowing purple pupils, her eyes a little puzzled.

Then, she suddenly felt a strong sense of nausea, “Ugh!”

A wisp of black smoke spewed out of her mouth.

“Okay, all done.” Bertha picked up a small bottle and filled it with the wisp of smoke.

“Cough cough…” Little Lin coughed non-stop, “Can you change the method next time, big sister?”

Bertha smiled slightly, “I can, but, I can only start from…”

Her gaze fell on Little Lin’s back and down…

Little Lin’s face turned pale, “Never mind, never mind, let’s just spit it out.”

“Teacher, about how long can Little Lin last?” Linlin asked doubtfully.

“Ten.”

“Ten hours? That’s a little short.” Little Lin said dissatisfied.

“I think it’s a little long.” Linlin didn’t really want Little Lin to continue to exist.

Little Lin was a bit of an obstacle for her to get back the Heart of Desire.

“Nine.”

Little Lin: “??!!!”

Linlin nodded in satisfaction.

As soon as she finished speaking, Little Lin disappeared, leaving behind a pile of pink crushed diamonds.

Linlin quickly went forward and collected them.

The time Linlin applied the essence to the Heart of Desire yesterday wasn’t long, so not much life energy was absorbed. Naturally, Little Lin couldn’t exist for long.

“Teacher, I’ll leave this bottle of essence with you, I don’t need it.”

Bertha shook her head,

“I feel like you’ll use it, take it back.

Don’t worry, the amount here isn’t much, there’s no danger of soul snatching.”

“Then, okay.”

Linlin didn’t plan to activate Little Lin again.

What would she do by activating her? Fight with her for Mavis?

Although Little Lin didn’t have any intentions in that regard at the moment, what if? Right.

Thinking of Mavis, she remembered that she seemed to have made a strange manual.

Linlin suddenly felt a headache, bid farewell to her teacher, and went back to see if Mavis had listened to her.

648 Gemstone Street.

This area was considered a more upscale area in Holderma, and the surrounding area was basically villas.

When Linlin came back, she saw the ashes in the brazier and nodded in satisfaction, praising her casually.

Mavis was still very happy. Although she didn’t get the method to make Linlin happy, she made Linlin praise her!

But after being happy, Mavis fell into thinking again.

How should she find a way to make Linlin happy?

Happiness wasn’t just about the happiness in that area.

Mavis’s mind moved, and while assisting Linlin in cooking, she vividly told her “heroic deeds.”

She started directly from discovering the strangeness of that succubus and volunteered to go to the Brown family to investigate.

Linlin carefully observed her and, seeing that Mavis’s expression was as usual, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mavis shouldn’t know that she was a succubus… should she?

Linlin hadn’t dispelled her doubts and prepared to try again.

What Mavis said in front was the same as what she knew, but the plot after Mavis brought the succubus Alice back made Linlin stunned.

The kitchen knife stopped in mid-air, and she even forgot about the idea of probing.

She looked at Mavis, “Wait, that Alice said she wasn’t under the command of Lust, but under the command of Gluttony?” Her eyes were full of shock.

Mavis also agreed, “You also think it’s impossible, right? That’s what I thought too. How could a succubus not be under the command of Lust? Isn’t that purely taking me for a fool? I ordered her to be given a hundred lashes on the spot!”

Linlin’s face was complicated.

Mavis continued, “But I thought about it later, she said that she betrayed the Lust Demon King ten years ago and transferred to the Gluttony Demon King’s command.

The main reason was that she wanted to pursue free love and didn’t want to be reduced to being the Lust Demon King’s concubine, escaping for freedom.”

Clang! Clang!

The sound of Linlin chopping bones was a bit loud, and it was obviously with some resentment.

‘Her?’ Linlin was really angry.

How dare she impersonate her? How dare she? With her looks?

Alice was considered very beautiful among humans, but she was very ordinary among succubi.

The Lust Demon King was blind to have taken a fancy to her?

“Linlin, you also think it’s fake, right? But I held a skeptical attitude and prepared to go back to the Brown family to investigate…

Linlin, guess what, she was right, there was indeed an aura of gluttony magic in the Brown family.”

Thump!

Linlin chopped the bone in front of her in half, her face like frost.

“What’s wrong? Linlin.” Although Mavis wasn’t startled, she stopped telling the story.

“It’s nothing, it’s just that this bone is a bit hard.” Linlin restored her expression and sliced the meat bone by bone.

“…With my sharp eyes, I could tell at a glance that he wasn’t human, and with just one move, I took him down instantly!…

Finally, after discussion, it was unanimously concluded that this accident was caused by a gluttony demon!”

Thump!

“Linlin, isn’t this bone cut yet?”

“Yes, it’s a bit hard.” Linlin said with a smile, holding the kitchen knife.

“However, when I was about to draw a conclusion, I said, wait, there’s something fishy!”

Mavis made a pose while speaking.

Linlin felt tired, but she couldn’t blame Mavis.

“That female succubus said that she betrayed the Lust Demon King and was miserably remembered by the Lust Demon King.

But, that male demon was also a succubus! Did he also betray? Would a dignified Demon King be foolish enough to be betrayed twice? Obviously impossible!

So, the truth is only one! This is an extremely crude frame-up!”

Mavis showed a confident smile.

Linlin breathed a sigh of relief, thank goodness.

As for what Mavis said, she believed half of it.

Linlin knew Mavis. It was unlikely that she would pay attention to these details.

It was likely that someone else reminded her, and she felt that she had participated and contributed the most, which was about equal to herself being the most powerful, and about equal to herself discovering it.

Well, a very magical brain circuit.
