Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 173 You Betrayed Noble Red
Tommy didn't stay in an interrogation room, or go to jail to step on a treadmill.

He was held very carefully in the underground secret room of the Supervision Bureau in the Red Queen District.

His hands were locked with glowing shackles, and his bare back was branded with a seal that shone with silvery white brilliance.All he had was a pair of shorts with no pockets, and nothing else.

The high-level demon in Tommy's contract was chopped off by the great guardian within 10 minutes.And after he was detained, he was also searched, and it was confirmed that there were no accessories or materials on his body-even his mouth was opened to carefully check whether there were any false teeth hidden inside.

As a demon scholar, he should be considered disarmed... But even so, he was firmly sealed by the law mages, preventing the mana in his body from mobilizing.The mana, which is also of the light attribute, can heal others and dispel darkness in the hands of priests; but in the hands of law masters, it will become a bondage and seal.

Although in front of the Great Guardian at that time, Tommy knelt down and surrendered without hesitation-in fact, when he saw the Great Guardian, he already knew that he could not run away.

At that time, if Tommy had escaped directly, there was a high probability that he would be directly caught up by the watching Griffin.It may even be rushed by the great guardian riding a griffin.

—He couldn't even beat the Great Guardian without a griffin, let alone one with a griffin.

Even if he did escape... he would be a fugitive and wanted.

After all, he is not an unknown person, "Tommy Lloyd" is well-known throughout the Lloyd District.His size is also obviously not suitable for concealment.

Most importantly - he didn't want to just die.

The coldness and anger in the Great Guardian's eyes startled him.

If he didn't surrender in time, even if he was not killed, but just knocked down or wounded, he would be killed by Meg's word spirit.But the reason why he surrendered was not because he wanted to die more simply...but because he was sure of surviving.

—Because he had too many cards in his hand.

Tommy can be [-]% sure that Boca definitely doesn't know as much as he does.Not even a tenth of what he knew.

He usually took the most important part of the work to himself, just for this moment.

He knew too many people's tricks: at least two-thirds of the knights in the round table hall had directly or indirectly sought financial support from him, and at least [-]% of the evidence was carefully preserved by him.

And he also knows the strongholds and codes of the Noble Red Society in various parts of Avalon; he knows where the spies who broke in are now and what they do.He also knows which knights or which members of the knight family are connected with the spies of Star Antimony or Iris, and which big figures have committed great crimes... He also keeps these evidences in different places.

Taking a step back, he is at least a demon scholar at the peak of the fourth energy level.

He only needs to complete the advancement ceremony, and he can be promoted to the fifth energy level.He can escort the designated person to advance to the fifth energy level during the ceremony - after all, if the advancement to the fourth energy level fails, it will seriously damage the soul, and may even be life-threatening.There are not many fifth-level powerhouses in Avalon.

But he has a strong physique and can withstand the ritual backlash.It is also meaningful to give birth to a large number of extraordinary people of the fifth energy level; it doesn't matter if he advances himself, after all, he is a demon scholar without contracted demons, and in a sense, he is also harmless.

And no matter whether he succeeds in advancing or not, he can also be used as a living body's transcendence detector.As long as the official sends the suspect over, he can tell whether the other party has a level beyond Dao.

—he was just too useful, in every sense of the word.

Because of this, Tommy became tough after being locked up.Because he was sure that after he said all these things, the Supervisory Bureau had to think carefully.And in order to keep him alive, they will let Meg release the spirit of speech.

Although Tommy has been sealed, he can at least commit suicide and prevent the mage from searching his memory. The last power of the demon scholar is to sacrifice himself as a sacrifice to summon demons.Not to mention, he knew so many secrets that Tommy couldn't even remember many of them, so he had to rely on the texts and ciphers he had hidden somewhere to analyze.

Search memory can only search what you have seen and heard recently, but "thoughts" and "skills" cannot be seen.In other words, no one knows what his password is, and even if he gets the encrypted document, it is not easy to solve the mystery.

This is Tommy's special preparation for the memory search of the lawyer.

—if he was killed, the secrets would be lost to light.he threatened.

As a result, the situation has entered into a link Tommy is familiar with - the game.Or bargain.

If he didn't cooperate, he would be cursed to death by Meg; but if he died, Avalon would lose a lot of valuable clues, and Avalon couldn't find a more valuable source of information than him.

And many secrets are only known to him, and he can't find all the memories after searching.

In other words, if Tommy died, it would be a situation that neither side wanted to see; but after all, he was strapped with a bomb that would kill him if he didn't disarm it for three days, and the initiative of this matter was held in the hands of the Supervision Bureau.

The two sides are caught in a game.The Supervisory Bureau didn't want Tommy to die, but he had to use this threat to spit out more information; and Tommy knew that he was very useful and knew that the Supervisory Bureau didn't want him to die, so he gritted his teeth and wanted to To strive for more benefits.

And that's within Tommy's comfort zone.What he is best at is gaming.

Tommy did not ask for the removal of the spirit of speech, but asked for at least probation first, and the time was extended to 30 days-if the Supervision Bureau agreed, he would tell three recent secrets, including the missing Aiwass, as their first transaction.

As the sincerity of the cooperation between the two parties and to prove that what he said was true, he asked the inspector general who came to interrogate her, and asked her if she had any knights that she hated.

After the other party reported the names of the three knights who were hostile to the Queen, Tommy did not hesitate to reveal their crimes and where the evidence was kept.

"This is a trial item."

There was a sly look in Tommy's eyes: "You can try it, what I said is true or false.

"If possible, please ask Meg-sama to loosen the noose around my neck a little... I will be more valuable."

And the Supervision Bureau is naturally not vegetarian.They want more, so the initiative of cooperation cannot fall into Tommy's hands.

So they locked him in a basement that was absolutely safe, and planned to let him dry out like this first.

One day has passed, and Tommy has two days left in his life.When he has the last day or half a day left, even if he knows it in his heart, he must be anxious.Don't look at Tommy being calm and cunning now, once his blood pressure rises, his giant blood will naturally blow his mind... When the time comes, it won't be too late for them to talk about cooperation.

There was no food, no lights.Not even a single person to talk to.

In this way, Tommy was sealed in the dark room without light or sound.

This is a very effective torture method.

Now that most of the day has passed, he no longer knows what time it is outside.It even felt like three days had already passed, or it was almost time... The fear in his heart made him hallucinate, and his childhood memories played like a slide show.

The people he saw and killed appeared in front of his eyes like hallucinations.The sound of their talking, laughter, and howling before death rang in my ears.And Tommy curled up on the bed, eyes open but motionless.

Tommy is a half-giant three generations later.

At the same time, he is also a half-elf.

The giant blood in his body is only one-eighth, but the elf blood is one-fourth.

Logically speaking, he should just be a grumpy half-elf.

But in his generation, the giant bloodline in his body suddenly returned to his ancestors and became extremely active...

Before he was born, his father disappeared; and his mother remarried after giving birth to him, and died of illness within two years.

When Tommy was three years old, his parents had no blood relationship with him.But even so, his father was still raising him.

——Until he was five years old, because he couldn't restrain the violent blood in his body, he kicked and broke his grandma's knee.

As a result, he was severely beaten by his stepfather who had no blood relationship, and was directly abandoned to the Lloyd District.

At that time, the Noble Red had not yet entered the Glass Island, so there were not so many demon scholars in Lloyd who were in urgent need of materials.So at least he won't decompose into humanoid self-propelled materials on the spot.

Although the heart, bone marrow, liver, and kidney of a mixed-race giant can all be used as rare alchemy materials, they can be used to make giant power potions, rage potions, powerful miscarriages, and long-lasting stimulants respectively.But the five-year-old giant doesn't look much different from ordinary human children, and no one will find that he is a mixed-race giant.

However, if an adult with expensive items is thrown into the Lloyd's District, there is a high probability that it will be dangerous; but the child is safe in the Lloyd's District.

Because here, children are a commodity and a necessary material for cultivating assassins.This is especially true for strong, bright, and dexterous children.

At that time, Lady Grey-Green was only a high-level assassin, not yet a manager in this area.But her boss... is the "mother" who raised her since she was a child.

Her "mom" picks up Tommy and puts him on an assassin workout.However, Tommy lacks the talent to adapt to the path - the roaring anger in his body makes him unable to remain silent and quiet, let alone observe everything calmly in the dark.

So Tommy was abandoned again.It just so happened that the previous Lloyd needed more adopted sons, so he bought Tommy away from her.

Including President Lloyd's own wife, Tommy had seven parents.However, he never felt affection.

——No one knows that Tommy was not actually chosen by his adoptive father to inherit the surname "Lloyd".

At that time, the most hopeful successor to "Lloyd" was Tommy's sister.

They were seven brothers, and Tommy was the fifth.

The fourth-ranked "Lovita" has the adaptability of a balanced road, is smart, beautiful, and ruthless enough.

When she was fourteen or fifteen years old, she made a lot of money by selling ocean intelligence.And when she was there, she even made friends with a prince—if the other party hadn't been killed by a curse, she might even have a chance to become a princess.

But even so, she used her status as a prince to infiltrate Avalon's senior circle.Relying on her graceful figure and profound knowledge, she soon became the darling of the social circle.She was already a vice-president of Lloyd's by then.

Tommy realized he couldn't compete with her.And once the ceremony of "sons of the snake" is over, the potential of one's own path will be taken away.

So after planning, he completed a murder through research rituals.He cursed his sister into zoophilia, causing her to have sex with a bull and be accidentally discovered.And she committed suicide after that.

But she actually failed to commit suicide - Tommy used another female body to disguise her body.He raped and sacrificed "Lovita", using her and his two younger brothers as sacrifices to summon the Labyrinth Demon.

His father didn't realize it was Tommy's doing, and gave him the name Lloyd.In order to prevent him from reacting later, Tommy dragged his father into the maze and starved to death.

At that time, the supervisor also suspected him, but there was no evidence at all.

Because their bodies were either in the labyrinthine's labyrinth, or melted by stepping into the dream world.Their bodies were not in the physical plane at all, and they didn't even die in the physical plane.

Immediately afterwards, Tommy, who was only 16 years old at the time, wisely realized that he needed to complete the chain of evidence in order to clear himself of suspicion.

So he faked evidence that his two younger brothers stole property, bought boat tickets, killed their older brothers and sisters, and seriously injured him.After Tommy was willing to pay the price of being shot six times in the body with a pistol, the disappearance of the two brothers made perfect sense.

As for the brothers and sisters who were killed - of course he did it himself.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with him.

The ritual of the sons of the serpent itself allows and even encourages killing each other, what is not allowed is the law of Avalon.So he accomplished both the ritual and the evasion of the law.

As for killing—

He wasn't human anyway.Tommy was very calm about it.

When he killed for the first time, he didn't feel any discomfort, and even felt excitement and stimulation—he comforted himself like this: since those people regard him as a giant, there is no problem for him to kill.

Because of this excitement, he sometimes wanders in the night of Lloyd District, hunting and killing some people who dare to wander the streets of Lloyd District late at night, making them into ritual materials... and then cursing himself to kill himself during the day those who died.It wasn't until he got taller and taller than is common for humans that he stopped wandering.

He was almost discovered at one time, but fortunately, a "Jack the Ripper" was added later.He also generously took over the crimes he committed.

Later, Tommy was targeted by the Noble Red Society.

Speaking of Noble Red...

Tommy frowned suddenly.

...Speaking of which, has the Supervision Bureau prepared curse countermeasures for itself?

If he betrayed Noble Red, the other party might come to curse him to kill him.They could easily get their hair, and they could curse him without knowing where he was.

So, his trade list would have to include "bringing a priest with him for protection."If he is cursed, let him dispel it in time... From this point of view, it may be better to ask for a female priest.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard slight footsteps.

This made his stagnant thinking active in an instant.

The second person appeared in the small black room, his first reaction was joy - but immediately after, he felt vigilant.

Why didn't the other party turn on the light?
Why did he just approach without saying a word?

So Tommy closed his mouth vigilantly, turned over and sat up, his muscles tensed.Although his Dao power cannot be used, his body is still very healthy.He surrendered in time and was not injured.Even if he is shot by a gun, he can use the giant's strong muscles to catch the bullet to survive.

"—Honor Tommy Lloyd."

A deep and hoarse voice sounded: "Really?"

"……it's me."

Tommy asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The next moment, Tommy saw a flash of red light.

It was the ring "Noble Red" he was familiar with.

Did they come to rescue me?
... no, not right.

"You are here to kill me."

Tommy sat on the bed and replied affirmatively, "You are Aleister—who the hell are you? If you want to kill me, at least let me hear your real voice."

After a brief silence, a soft, sweet, honey-like female voice sounded: "Yes, I want to kill you.

"—Because you betrayed Noble Red."

After her words fell, Tommy's whole body was directly penetrated by the shadow demon.But he didn't let out a growl of pain because something was wrapped around his neck.

At this time, he wrote on the bed with his own blood: "Aleister", "Woman", "Noble Red".

——I'm dead, don't even think about it.

Tommy thought bitterly.
