Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 242 Little Phoenix tells the cause and effect

"Now that we have come to this, I have to ask, what is the deal you reached with Ms. Charlotte?" Lin You acted like a conscientious royal magic adviser. "Will the price of defeating the demon be greater than the destructive power of the demon itself?"

"No, of course not. Charlotte made a very personal request that has nothing to do with anyone else," Constantine vowed.

"Ask you to help find her son?"

"You know this now? Did you hear it in the bar that day?" Constantine was surprised.

Lin You said half-truthfully: "The biggest advantage of being a royal advisor is that you are well-informed."

"Perhaps, in this matter of helping to find my son, a well-informed royal adviser can really help." Constantine indirectly acknowledged Lin You's guess.

Helena, who was standing by, was confused. Seeing that the two of them had not gotten to the point for a long time, she had to remind them: "Gentlemen, shouldn't we discuss the most urgent issue at hand? Now two demons have left with the blood of Jesus Christ, and we don't know what they want to do."

"They want to stay in the world forever." Phoenix's voice suddenly interrupted; it quickly lost interest in those "saint" old wizards and returned to the center of the conversation. Of course, it also deliberately waited until the topic of its own sealing was over.

"What do you mean?" Helena was puzzled. "Couldn't they have stayed in the human world?"

This question involves the covenant between heaven and hell. As an ordinary person, Helena naturally does not know it; but Constantine, a senior exorcist, and Lin You, the author of the worldview logic, are very clear about it.

However, neither of them spoke, allowing Little Phoenix to explain to the archaeologist.

"Pure-blooded demons cannot stay in the human world in their true form for long, and the same goes for angels. Michael, Gabriel, Lucifer..." Phoenix paused for a moment when he spoke here, "High-level demons can use their magic power to create a physical body, but the time they can stay is limited. As for low-level demons, they can only possess or accept summons; and if they stay for a long time, they will attract a joint attack from both the enemy and us."

Helena asked, "You mean heaven and hell?"

"of course."

"According to what you said, what about Dantalin and Simeonli?"

"They are all possessed by humans!" Phoenix shouted, "You don't think you saw the real body of the devil, do you? Dantalin possessed a wizard, Simongli possessed a horse trainer, and even the black horse was stolen from a human stable. If it was the real body, the place where we are standing now would have been polluted and filled with poisonous gas long ago."

"Is that so? There are such rules for angels and demons..." Helena looked like she had learned something new. "But what about you? Are you possessed by a bird?"

Phoenix was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red with anger; "Not all demons are devils. I am a phoenix. I am not restricted by the agreement between heaven and hell, and I can live in the human world. What do you mean by possessing a bird? The phoenix is ​​my true body!"

He looked like a little kid who was so anxious being bullied by adults that it was hard to associate him with the devil.

Lin You also asked Constantine his own questions: "Why is he here? Since he was sealed by Charlotte, why was he brought here by you? Could it be that he is also part of the deal?" "I am not a traded item. I am here to help." Phoenix has sharp ears and immediately defended himself, "I am here to help you find Dantalin and Simongli's whereabouts. I am not forced."

"Then what made you willing to help us voluntarily instead of being forced?" Lin You continued to ask with a faint smile. Based on the principle of "the more you lack something, the more you emphasize it", the more this little phoenix emphasized that he was not forced, the more it showed that he was not taking the initiative voluntarily.

Children are very sensitive, especially when asked pointed questions by their "peer" Lin You with a half-smile on his face. Phoenix immediately felt so embarrassed that the tips of his ears turned red like blood, and he refused to speak for a long time.

In fact, Lin You could guess something without him saying anything.

Judging from the stone sculpture Constantine obtained, Charlotte probably used the same method to seal the Phoenix. If the little phoenix had not "voluntarily" come to help, it would probably still be used as a decoration to decorate the house.

"Since you don't want to say it, why don't you tell us how you found Dantalin and Simongli? You are a phoenix, and they are demons. You are not the same kind at all." Seeing that the child was embarrassed, Lin You did not want to make it worse and took the initiative to change the subject.

Phoenix let out a long sigh without leaving a trace, and put on a smug mask on his face again: "Of course I can! After King Solomon died, because of the contract they signed, the demons who were not demons were also driven into hell and forced to join the ranks of demons. I have dealt with them for more than two thousand years, and even though I am halfway across the world, I can still smell the sulfur on them."

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Helena was the most nervous among all. "The devil has been gone for a long time with the Spear of Longinus. We have to hurry."

"Don't worry, ma'am." Phoenix was confident. "The blood of Jesus Christ is not so easy to use. They have to possess a human fetus first, and then try to mix the blood of Jesus Christ into the fetus's umbilical cord blood. In this way, they can be born as humans while maintaining the nature and power of demons. This process is very troublesome."

Little Phoenix's words reminded Lin You of the plot of the movie version of "Hellblazer"; Mammon, one of the seven deadly sins, "greed" wanted to come to the world in a similar way.

However, Mammon needs the consent and assistance of the Archangel Gabriel to be born; in comparison, the requirements for the birth of an ordinary demon are obviously much lower.

But Phoenix's words made Lin You even more confused. "Is the effect of Jesus Christ's blood known to everyone in hell?"

"That's right!" Little Phoenix said as a matter of course, "Where do you think the biggest source of demons is?"

"……Heaven."

"That's it." Phoenix shook his head. "There are millions of fallen angels, the largest group of demons in hell. They are familiar with the secrets of heaven. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, so his secrets are naturally easy for demons to know."

"Even if the devil knows the secret of the blood of Jesus Christ, how can he know the location of the Spear of Longinus?" Helena also had many doubts. "The clue to finding the Holy Spear was first given to me by Dantalion disguised as a cardinal. He may be able to tell the fake Holy Spear in the museum by distinguishing the authenticity of the Blood of Jesus, but how can he know the clue to the real Holy Spear?"

Phoenix looked at Helena like she was a fool; "You don't think those NAZIs are qualified to go to heaven after they die, do you?"
