Personality V: I will save everything
Chapter 595 Invitation.
Although he had been mentally prepared in advance, Antonio was still shocked when he found Robbie sleeping on the ground with his head separated from his body.
But he was only frightened at the beginning, after all, the visual impact was too great, but he was not afraid of Robbie because of this, after all, he was the most popular child in the manor.
.................................................. ........................
"Pah! Puah! Ugh—Pah!" Antonio kept making vomiting sounds, as if he wanted to vomit out his stomach.
Alva, who was standing by, looked at Antonio's miserable state and felt no sympathy in his heart. After all, Antonio had brought all this upon himself.
It turned out that in order to make Antonio more in line with the image of a devil, the owner of the manor deliberately gave him a special ability.
This ability is the most well-known habit of demons - devouring human souls.
Of course, the owner of the manor did not let Antonio actually devour human souls, as that would be too cruel and bloody.
He simply allows Antonio to temporarily hold the human soul in his stomach, like a temporary storage container.
In this way, from the outside, it looked like Antonio had really swallowed the human soul. People who didn't know the truth would be scared to death if they saw this scene.
However, Antonio did not actually do anything excessive to those souls.
He just stored them in his stomach temporarily, waiting for the right time to spit them out and give them to Carl.
However, what is puzzling is whether this is a unique hobby of the owner of the manor or a request made by Antonio himself?
In any case, Antonio actually possesses an extraordinary ability - he can distinguish different flavors by tasting the good and evil of a soul.
No doubt the taste of the souls of the sinners he had just devoured must have been unbearable.
"vomit----"
Antonio finally couldn't stand the disgusting feeling anymore and he vomited violently.
He really regretted it. If he had known earlier, he should not have deliberately devoured a person's soul in front of the police officers who rushed over just to leave a terrible impression on them.
Now, he only felt that the smell was like a dead rat rotting in the sewer, coupled with the stench of sewage and mold, rushing straight to his head like a torrent, making him almost vomit bile.
However, what is puzzling is what Jack's purpose is.
Was it to bring the script to a more vivid level, or was it simply because he was curious about Antonio's bad luck and wanted to see his reaction?
Because Jack asked without hesitation: "Where is Robbie?"
According to the plot written by Carl, at this moment, Antonio should have patted Robbie on the shoulder as planned, and then told Jack with a smile, or more precisely, the lady named Jenny, that Robbie was safe and sound.
However, the reality is not like this.
The pungent smell was so terrible that it went straight to the top of Antonio's head and made it impossible for Antonio to speak.
Faced with this sudden situation, Antonio quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.
Finally, he had an idea and decided to take a different approach.
He quickly grabbed his hair and skillfully wrapped it around Robbie's body, as if the hair had become a tough rope. At the same time, he carefully lifted Robbie's head.
In this way, Antonio separated Robbie's body and head in a rather strange way, and placed them together in front of Jack, as if displaying a strange exhibit.
.................................................. ........................
When everyone witnessed this shocking scene, whether it was the experienced police officers or the wise Holmes and Mycroft, they could not help but feel fear, thinking that the child named Robbie might have met with misfortune.
However, at the moment when everyone's heart almost stopped, Miss Jenny suddenly stretched out her hands and took the child's head from the devil without hesitation.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on Miss Jenny and the head.
At this moment, something incredible happened - the head that was supposed to be lifeless actually slowly opened its eyes!
Those were a pair of clear and bright eyes, revealing a maturity and calmness that did not match his age.
"Jenny's mom."
A faint but firm voice came from the head, as if crossing the boundary between life and death.
.................................................. ........................
It is really difficult to accurately describe in words what I experienced that night.
At first, Holmes was filled with worry. He was concerned about whether the child named Robbie was safe.
However, when he witnessed with his own eyes that Miss Jenny had turned into the infamous Jack the Ripper, the feeling was more than just shock.
After all, Holmes had anticipated this, so it didn't make him feel too upset.
However, what really made him feel relieved was when he discovered that the legendary demon ghosts and undead people really existed in the world.
This feeling is not a complete shock, but more of a curiosity about a completely new world that I have never encountered before.
Those absurd stories that once only existed in books and seemed like fiction have now become reality!
This was undoubtedly a huge impact on his cognition, and also stimulated his strong desire to explore.
.................................................. ........................
"I really feel from the bottom of my heart, Mr. Holmes, that you are amazing."
This is true. Jack sighed from the bottom of his heart, because he even thought that normal people would be scared out of their wits if they saw something like this. He didn't expect Holmes to be so calm. Should you say he is worthy of being a great detective? His ability to accept is strong.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait."
Mycroft intervened forcefully at this moment. Actually, it was not his fault. After all, he was a government official. How should he explain such things? Not to mention that it concerned the whole of England, it could be said that it concerned the living environment of the entire human race, so he had to ask clearly.
Although in a sense it can be considered confirmed, but instead of relying on one's own guesses, the person in question is right in front of one, so why not just open up and ask?
"Do you...feed on humans?"
"Are you talking nonsense, human?"
Should I say it or not? Antonio pretended really well. Maybe he had really heard the red devil whispering in his ear before. He imitated the tone very well and looked like a real devil.
The red demon called Antonio suddenly came close to Mycroft like a burning flame.
His appearance was so sudden that Mycroft had no time to react.
Antonio was tall and mighty, and his skin was a strange red color, as if it had been burned by the fire of hell.
There was a savagery and cruelty in his eyes that made people shudder.
Mycroft only felt a wave of blazing heat rushing towards him, which was the powerful aura emanating from Antonio.
He couldn't help but feel a little frightened, but as a government official, he was well aware of his duties and had to remain calm and continue asking questions.
"I'm sorry, sir," Mycroft said, suppressing his fear, "but as a government official, I have a duty to ensure everyone's safety."
However, Antonio seemed to not care about Mycroft's words. He sneered and said, "Even if I feed on humans, so what? You humans, don't take yourselves too seriously! In front of me, you are nothing but insignificant food!"
Antonio's words were full of disdain and contempt, which made Mycroft feel angry. But he knew that it was not wise to confront this devil head-on, so he took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice steady.
"Please understand, sir, I am only doing my duty," said Mycroft.
However, before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Antonio. Antonio suddenly opened his mouth and roared. The sound was like thunder, deafening, and even the air around him seemed to be shaken.
Along with this roar, a powerful wave of air gushed out from Antonio's body.
This gust of air hit Mycroft violently like a storm. Mycroft felt as if he was hit by a huge force and his body flew backwards involuntarily.
His hat was blown off by the gust of wind and was spinning in the air.
His originally neat hair became disheveled under the influence of this powerful force, and because of the reflection of the red light from Antonio's body, it became even redder and brighter, spreading around like a burning flame.
Just when Mycroft felt that he was about to be devoured by the devil's raging flames, suddenly!
What kind of scene was that? It was as if a basin of ice-cold water was suddenly poured on a blazing flame, and all the light and heat suddenly disappeared without a trace like a phantom in an instant.
Mycroft's eyes widened in astonishment, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was Miss Jenny who saved him. Miss Jenny quickly put her hat on the devil's face without hesitation, as if she had practiced this action countless times.
Perhaps because he saw his companion's actions, the demon's behavior was slightly restrained. At least, he no longer exuded a suffocating hot breath like before, and he obviously suppressed his breath.
"Antonio," Miss Jenny said with a hint of reproach in her voice, "You have your own castle, where you can live freely without any contact with humans. So, whatever you want to do is fine, but please pay a little attention to those of us who live with humans, okay?"
After severely reprimanding Antonio, Miss Jenny suddenly smiled gently, like the warm sunshine in spring, making people feel particularly warm. She turned her eyes to Mycroft and said softly, "I'm really sorry. Antonio's behavior just now was really inappropriate. I would like to express my sincerest apologies to you on his behalf."
After a brief pause, Miss Jenny continued to explain:
“Regarding your question, I can describe it this way… Although humans are indeed on our food list, it does not mean that we only eat humans.
You see, just like potatoes are on your human diet, but this does not mean that you humans can only eat potatoes. You also have steak, cake and many other delicious dishes to choose from.
The same is true for us. We have many other food sources besides humans. So please don’t worry too much.”
Perhaps it is because Miss Jenny has lived with humans for a long time, if no one pays attention to her appearance at this moment, I am afraid no one will regard her as a monster.
Moreover, perhaps because he had already anticipated the worst, Miss Jenny's words made Mycroft feel much more relieved.
While things may not have changed much in essence, they have at least improved.
At least, they don't just feed on humans; humans are only part of their diet, and they can eat other foods as well.
This, at least, greatly reduces the danger faced by these humans.
As if she could see Mycroft's worry, Miss Jenny smiled and said to him,
"Every five years on Halloween, we all get together. We will all come. If you like, I can invite you, and you can remember some of us. And I believe that after you get along with us, you will find that most of us are easy to get along with~"
