Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 319 Shadow Demon’s True Name

At first, Lily was a little confused.

Why does Miss Shadow Demon act like she has never seen herself before?
But he was very sure that this was Miss Shadow Demon...

Aiwass once used the shepherding method to give him part of the Shadow Demon's power, just like transplanting an organ for sensing shadows to Lily.Because of the problem of proportion, Shadow Demon may not have any special feelings for Lily, but Lily can clearly perceive the existence of the "matrix".

Even if he encounters other shadow demons due to his third-level shadow affinity, he can easily tell whether it is the one signed by Aiwass.

But fortunately, Lily's subconscious response made Miss Shadow Demon seem a little hesitant.It followed Lily's words, but directly exposed its identity.

"When did you come here?" sounds vague enough. On the one hand, it implies that you know the person the other person is talking about. On the other hand, it can also express the situation that you don't know anything.

Being able to come up with such a response in an instant and act calmly is enough to show how smart Miss Shadow Demon is.

——But it's still not good at lying.

Because this sentence has already exposed its identity.

It is impossible for the Shadow Demon not to know how they came, because it was lying on Aiwass during the ceremony and even in the waiting hall.And Lily deliberately said "we were captured", but the shadow demon did not deny or ridicule immediately, which shows that it does not know that this is a promotion ceremony.

Then its identity is self-evident.

It was indeed the Shadow Demon who signed with Aiwass - but this was before it met Aiwass.

Compared with the cold, arrogant and murderous monster nature of the Shadow Demon hundreds of years later, the Shadow Demon of this era still has a human character.When it mentions those children of the moon, it will gnash its teeth and be filled with hatred. At the same time, it seems to be missing something and feeling sad at the same time.

Its emotions are so full and complete.It doesn't look like a demon, but more like a human who has just become a demon.

——If the powerful, cold, and aggressive Shadow Demon in the future is regarded as a mature body, then the Shadow Demon that lives in his shadow now is the Shadow Demon in his childhood.

So Lily thought about it and directly asked about the other party's identity:

"Are you really Miss Shadow Demon? Why do I feel that your feelings are so intense?"

Lily's purpose is to guide Shadow Demon's thinking.

Let it think that Lily has a companion who also raises a shadow demon.To do this kind of thing, you can't propose it yourself. If the other party is a little suspicious, they will remain suspicious of it.So he took a more radical approach and tried to gain the initiative.

After staying with Aiwass for so long, he gradually learned to lie.

His spider silk is the creation of Hui Tiansi, who is in charge of lies. The stronger the lie, the stronger it becomes.

"I don't know if he has told you," Shadow Demon replied slowly, "I have irresolvable grudges with them."

"Betrayal?" Lily replied softly.

"...Has he even told you such a thing?"

Shadow Demon's tone was obviously a little stunned.

——Presumably at that moment, Shadow Demon began to doubt whether he really had a master.

"A superior person who fell from a high place, or an upright person who was betrayed and framed by others. Because of the resentment in his heart, he was marked by the Fallen Sky Division with a mark of rage, and took revenge at the cost of becoming a shadow demon who will never see the sun again... "

Lily said slowly: "Shadow demons are all like this, right?"

"……I see."

Shadow Demon was silent for a while, but suddenly felt relaxed and murmured in a low voice: "It's all like this..."

"You are indeed not the master's shadow demon."

Lily followed the temptation and no longer emphasized the matter of "Miss Shadow Demon": "You came to me because my shadow affinity level is high enough. In fact, this is the power given to me by the shadow demon."

Shadow Demon was noncommittal, just silent.

But when Lily questions its identity, silence is actually acquiescence.And it would be like this because the other party showed extraordinary cognitive ability towards the Shadow Demon, which suddenly made it lose the confidence to hide its identity.

At the same time, it did not feel any malice or hostility from Lily.Only then did he want to stop in Lily's shadow and listen to her continue to say something.

"You must be the shadow demon who has not yet completed his revenge." Lily said softly.

"Yes."

Shadow Demon's voice was full of hatred: "I just crawled back from hell..."

"The new shadow demon."

Lily chuckled, imitating Aiwass's behavior pattern, and elegantly raised a glass of wine from her side.

He held the wine glass high and pointed it at the light in the distance.

"Then this glass of wine is for you." Lily said lightly: "To that sweet and intoxicating revenge, I wish you a successful revenge."

"Respect for revenge."

Shadow Demon also replied: "I also respect you and your master, sir."

"Speaking of which, haven't we exchanged identities yet?"

Lily replied: "My name is Alai."

"...I don't know what my name should be."

Shadow Demon hesitated for a while: "My past name should be discarded. I haven't decided on a new name yet."

"Why do you have to give it up?"

Lily is good at teaching.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, he raised his head against the stone pillar behind him and held the wine glass in front of his chest.

That posture and words are just like a "fox".

Solid lies and unpredictable words of incitement flowed gently from his mouth and flowed into the still confused heart of the new shadow demon: "Why can't you use it? You did turn into a demon, but is this your fault?
“Rather than picking up that name, it’s better to say that it’s taking away—taking away what is rightfully yours.”

Lily said, taking another sip of the strong drink.

Feeling the fluffy feeling of drunkenness swelling in her head, she felt that the world seemed to become brighter.

She felt as if she was overlapping with Aiwass, and unconsciously showed a confident smile similar to his: "Tell me now, Miss Shadow Demon... or Mr. Do you have the courage to take back the 'past'?" ?"

"...You are truly a man of provocation, sir."

Shadow Demon sighed, and his low and hoarse voice like a lion rumbled: "I don't know what kind of person can have a servant like you. In other words, I think it's a pity that you are just a servant."

"The gentleman in my family is much better than me. I'm just imitating a few words from him."

Lily replied calmly.

"...When did such a person appear in the empire?"

Shadow Demon hesitated: "I said... your master is not Prince Stewart, is he?"

"Stop guessing, Miss Shadow Demon."

Lily has invisibly locked in the gender of Shadow Demon's mind - although Shadow Demon itself does not have a gender, the humans before becoming Shadow Demon did.And from just a few words, she had already sensed that the other person was a woman.

She should be young and full of confidence. She is a tall but calm person.She might still be a little tired at ordinary times, but she was probably not a noble lady, but a truly powerful woman.

So Lily stated her guess directly and asked, "Are you really not going to take back your past?"

"...You have indeed guessed who I am, right?"

Shadow Demon sighed again, his tone becoming a little deeper.

I know a hammer.

Lily thought.

Of course, if the young master was here, maybe he could know... But Lily's empire history is not that good.Even if he has been locked to this level, he still doesn't know Miss Shadow Demon's previous identity.

But on the other hand, now that it has reached this level, it is not difficult to squeeze out the true identity.

So Lily stepped up her temptation: "We are on the same side now, Miss Shadow Demon. I can be the cornerstone of your power, and my master can also help you complete your revenge - you are both Shadow Demons, so you must be able to understand each other." .

"In this case, whether I guessed it or not... we all need sincerity. A sincerity that allows you to be recognized by us, and it is also the courage for you to stand tall and face the past.

"——Speak out, Miss Shadow Demon. Who were you in the past?"

"…Bayard."

Shadow Demon was silent for a long time before saying the name: "Vines Emile Zola Bayard of the Bayard Group.

"The Bayard who is still active today is nothing but a fake. A vampire who stole my body, my name, my possessions, and all my relationships.

"I can give up the name myself, but I can't allow anyone to steal it.

“So, I came back from hell – just to kill her.

"To make 'me' die again."
