In the quiet living room, the atmosphere was frozen and cold like winter ice.

Caroline supported Xu Cheng who was unconscious, and kept watching Susan with hostile eyes, never leaving for a moment, to prevent her from doing anything that would endanger everyone.

Susan stood there with a calm face, motionless, but the emotion in her heart was slightly bitter.

According to the original plan, she should have died when Xu Cheng went berserk and turned into a demon. She didn't expect the plan to fail, and now she is facing such an embarrassing situation.

She still couldn't figure out why Xu Cheng saw through her acting so flawlessly?
Even if Caroline sees herself meeting with these tool people in private, she shouldn't be so suspicious based on the good character she has shown over the years.

Susan couldn't figure it out, there was a thing called - this game doesn't count, come again!
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Cheng suddenly woke up.

He covered his chest with his hands and coughed several times, a black gem emerged from his chest, and with a crisp sound, the gem shattered into fragments all over the floor.

And the many shadows that bound Xu Cheng's limbs and torso also collapsed all of a sudden.

Seeing this scene, both Omar's and Caroline's hearts suddenly lifted.

This black gem is a treasure bestowed by the Shadow Goddess, and it is also a key item for sealing the devil. Now that the gem is broken, it means that the seal has been broken.

Caroline supported Xu Cheng, and asked nervously, "Are you okay?"

Xu Cheng waved his hand and replied, "I'm fine."

"That's good!"

Caroline breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, she looked at Xu Cheng with shocked eyes.

Not only her, even Omar and Susan also showed a look of shock.

A mute of more than 20 years, actually spoke? !
"It's the first time in my life to speak, and I feel a little unaccustomed to it."

Xu Cheng touched his throat with his hand, and said a word of emotion in a jerky tone.

As expected, the demon obeyed the agreement, healed his damaged vocal cords, restored his ability to speak, and finally no longer had to be a mute.

That's right, the two parties have reached a cooperation agreement - Xu Cheng will help the devil to do things, and the devil will also give him great power to get rid of the identity of the weak.

Caroline was both surprised and delighted: "How is your throat getting better?"

"We'll talk about this later."

Xu Cheng looked at Susan, and walked slowly in front of her.

The devil has revealed the truth to him. Susan's true identity is a succubus. Along with the devil, she was summoned to this world by Xu Cheng's parents.

The succubus has ever-changing abilities and can perfectly imitate human beings, and Xu Cheng and the others have never suspected her, so they have not seen her true face for more than ten years.

Susan was by Xu Cheng's side to protect his physical safety, but her real purpose was to assist the devil and control Xu Cheng.

After waiting for more than twenty years, when Xu Cheng's soul finally grew enough to fully withstand the power of the devil, Susan secretly directed the tragedy tonight.

She used the power of the succubus to seduce these tool men, making them come to attack Xu Cheng in the middle of the night, and secretly notified Caroline to come, the purpose was to let Xu Cheng take the initiative to accept the devil's attack in the extremely helpless situation. strength.

In the end, these three people closest to Xu Cheng will die before his eyes, causing him to fall into the intense pain of his own weakness and self-blame.

In the end, bewitched by the devil, Xu Cheng will embark on a road to find the gods and revive his relatives.

This is the life of Locke the Godslayer, who has been living in misery and deceit.

If Xu Cheng hadn't relied on the advantage of re-opening to break the situation, I'm afraid he would also embark on the old path of the godslayer and repeat the tragedy.

Susan raised her head slightly, looked at Xu Cheng, and smiled miserably: "It seems that you already know everything."

"You are a dedicated wife."

Xu Cheng's tone was calm, and there was no movement in his eyes: "But it all stems from deceit, so I can't forgive it."

As soon as the words fell, his right arm had penetrated Susan's abdomen.

"cough……"

Susan coughed, and a lot of blood flowed out of her mouth. She didn't make any resistance, but slowly pressed her face against Xu Cheng's chest.

"We... are all pawns we can't help ourselves."

She murmured in a low voice: "I hope you... can get rid of the established destiny... and gain real freedom..."

Her body fell slowly, and quickly decomposed during the falling process. When it fell to the ground, it had already turned into burning fly ash all over the ground, and it disappeared completely, not even leaving a corpse.

I don't know whether it is a real death or a return to hell.

There was no wavering in Xu Cheng's heart. The past twenty years of pain had honed his will to be stronger than a diamond.

He looked down at his right hand, where the power of the demon resided, which reminded him of the right arm of the godslayer, maybe it was the power of the devil king of hell.

Caroline and Omar were shocked when they saw Susan's body in ashes.

This kind of corpse disappearing into ashes most often occurs on demons. In other words, Susan, who has lived with them for more than ten years, is actually a demon.

And they, members of the Demon Hunting Society whose main job is to hunt demons, have never noticed it.

"Locke."

Caroline couldn't help asking: "Susan's identity...what's going on here?"

Xu Cheng withdrew his right hand, turned around and explained: "Susan is a succubus, related to the demon that resides in my body."

Caroline became nervous: "Then how are you doing now?"

Xu Cheng touched his chest with his hand: "I have made an agreement with the devil, it will not harm me, but I have to work for it."

Caroline's heart suddenly rose, isn't this just like those dark wizards who like to summon demons?

Xu Cheng noticed her expression, and said soothingly, "Don't worry, I'm just playing tricks with the devil. When I find a chance, I'll get rid of it immediately."

Caroline was full of worries. Many dark wizards thought they could control the summoned demons, but in the end they didn't end well.

Just seeing Xu Cheng's confident expression, she couldn't say anything dejected.

"What does the devil want you to do?"

"I don't know for now, let's take a step and see."

Although Xu Cheng knew that the ultimate goal of the devil must be to deal with a certain god, but the devil would never tell him about it.

Otherwise, once it is said, no one dares to cooperate with it, and it will definitely run away with a bucket.

Xu Cheng also happily pretended not to know, and used each other with the devil.

"All right, Caroline."

Omar also stood up to smooth things over: "Trust Locke, he can handle these things, and no difficulty can stump him."

This is not blind trust. In most of his life, Omar has never met such a tough and intelligent person as Xu Cheng.

Caroline also agrees with this point, based on Xu Cheng's life experience of more than twenty years, the ubiquitous malice and discrimination, endless bad luck and danger.

Not to mention an ordinary person, even if it was her or Omar, she would have been defeated long ago, but Xu Cheng was able to live firmly without any distortion. This has to be said to be a miracle.

"I communicated with the demon in consciousness and it showed me what happened when I was born."

Xu Cheng looked at Omar, and walked towards him: "I saw my biological parents, and I also know the cause of their death."

Caroline and Omar raised their hearts that had just been relaxed, and their expressions froze.

The two of them planned to hide the matter until their death, but the demon revealed it to Xu Cheng.

Seeing Xu Cheng walking towards Oma, Caroline exclaimed subconsciously: "Locke, don't!!"

Omar raised her hand most violently, interrupting Caroline's words.

He looked at Xu Cheng who was walking over, and countless complicated emotions flashed through his heart, which finally turned into calm.

Forget it, the time will always come, hasn't he rehearsed this scene several times in his mind?

"Lock, I was the one who killed your parents, and it's all my fault, it has nothing to do with Caroline..."

Omar's tone was extremely dry and painful, but stopped halfway through.

Because Xu Cheng who came over opened his hands and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you for raising me up, my dear teacher..."

Xu Cheng hugged his thin body tightly: "No, maybe I should call you--dear father."

Omar's mouth opened slightly, and he froze in place.

After a while, he gradually came back to his senses, his eyes were red and his nose was sore.

This tough guy who used to never shed tears no matter how much pain and suffering he suffered, now has the urge to cry.

"Good boy..."

Omar's voice was choked up, he raised his hand, and gently stroked Xu Cheng's hair.

In his whereabouts, he always regarded Xu Cheng as his own son, but the killing of his biological parents was like a thorn in his heart.

Xu Cheng also knew this very well, he could choose not to say it, but in the end he decided to say it, just to help Oma pull out this thorn, so that he would have no more regrets.

Caroline watched this scene from the side, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked relieved.

To see the reconciliation of the two closest relatives, nothing could be happier for her than this.

Omar was a little uncomfortable with this kind of tender scene. In order to hide the tears in his eyes, he waved his hands embarrassingly.

"You two...get rid of the corpses, it will be a big trouble if they are discovered."

Although these tool people were bewitched by Susan, there is no proof of Susan's death now, and she is a demon. If the demon hunter knows her identity, it may be even more troublesome.

The best way is of course to destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces, pretending nothing happened.

Under Omar's command, Xu Cheng and Caroline tacitly began to dispose of the corpse.

The three of them are all experienced demon hunters, and they are professional counterparts in handling corpses. They are guaranteed to send people from the Demon Hunter Society to investigate, and not even a hair can be found.

After cleaning the scene, Xu Cheng and Caroline left the capital overnight with the corpse, found a wild animal den in the suburbs, fed the corpse to the wild beasts, and watched the wild beasts gnaw off even the bones.

"What does the devil want you to do?"

On the way back, Caroline asked the question again.

Xu Cheng replied casually: "It wants me to go to Arnold after a while, but it didn't say what to do."

Arnold is a country protected by the God of Life, and it is very far away from Sauron. It would take a year and a half for ordinary people to travel by horse-drawn carriage.

Caroline immediately said, "I'll go with you."

Xu Cheng stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at her: "I don't know how long it will be before I come back. We both left, who will take care of the teacher?"

He knew that his trip would be a narrow escape, and bringing Caroline would only harm her, so he could only find a reason for her to stay.

Don't look at Caroline who always complains about her Oma, but her filial piety to Oma is much stronger than Xu Cheng.

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Caroline fell silent immediately.

Xu Cheng continued: "Wait for me at home, I will be back."

This sentence is insincere, because according to the fate of the godslayer, this departure may be a farewell forever.

Caroline didn't know, because Xu Cheng had never lied in the past twenty years.

"I'll be waiting for you to come back."

Caroline hugged Xu Cheng immediately, and whispered in his ear: "Whether it's ten years, 50 years, 100 years, or 500 years, I will be at home waiting for you to come back!!"

Xu Cheng's heart as hard as a diamond trembled slightly. He didn't say anything, but hugged Caroline tightly.

……

In the following days, Xu Cheng did not accept the task of the Demon Hunting Society, and stayed at home, accompanying Oma and Caroline.

Omar was no longer confused, she immediately saw the problem, and only after questioning did she find out the reason.

"You think I'm too old to take care of myself?"

Omar pretended to be angry: "Even if I die, you won't send me to a nursing home?"

This is indeed a way, but neither Xu Cheng nor Caroline did it.

The nursing homes of this era are much worse than the nursing homes of later generations. The old people live in them just waiting to die. Oma has said more than once before that he would rather die than enter the nursing home.

Omar, who used to be one-sided, can no longer command the two children, and can only play the old man's temper.

Time gradually came to the day when Xu Cheng left, and the angry Omar was unwilling to come forward, so only Caroline sent Xu Cheng to leave the capital.

After the two left, Omar dragged his old body to the top of the building, looked at the direction Xu Cheng left, and burst into tears.

He vaguely guessed that Xu Cheng's departure was probably a farewell.

Caroline sent Xu Cheng outside the capital city, but she didn't stop and continued to walk with him.

Just like this, she stopped and stopped until the entire magnificent capital disappeared into the horizon, and she finally stopped.

I don't know how many times I have said goodbye, Xu Cheng didn't talk nonsense, turned around and wanted to leave, but Caroline grabbed his wrist.

He turned and saw Caroline's red eyes.

"Let's go tomorrow, okay?"

Her voice trembled, her tone pleading.

Xu Cheng looked at her eyes full of tears, and suddenly opened his hands, and hugged her sideways.

The two ran back to the capital, back to the secret stronghold that no one knew, and vented their emotions in each other's hearts to their heart's content, without stopping for a moment.

Originally, Susan was a wall separating Xu Cheng and Caroline, but now, there is no obstacle between the two siblings.

"Um……"

In the early morning of the next day, Caroline woke up from a deep sleep, and found that the people around her had disappeared, and there was a faint residual warmth in the bed.

She stretched out her hand to caress the marks left by Xu Cheng, and tears fell silently.
