Falsifying history is good business

After each of them delivered the information they were looking for, Lin You and Murphys separated and continued to wander aimlessly in London. He visited many churches, including Westminster, because churches, as the sacred territory of heaven on earth, are the favorite places for angels to hang out after they come to the world; with the idea of ​​trying his best, Lin You hoped to find some valuable clues.

It’s a pity that after going around in circles, I still couldn’t achieve my wish.

When it was almost dark, Lin You returned to the manor and immediately received the results of the investigation on the boy "Jade".

"Damn, wasn't he in England? How come his parents moved to the United States twenty years ago? No wonder it took me a whole day to find the information." Lin You couldn't help but complain as he looked at the information in his hand. It turned out that the King of Dreams was not very reliable. Then when he flipped down, he found that the information about this boy and his family was very "interesting".

Although this black boy named "Jed" was born in Florida, USA, his family lived in England in his early years, and they were a wealthy family with considerable assets; his great-grandmother was named Unity Kincaid, who suffered from encephalitis lethargica in her childhood and had been in a coma since childhood until she woke up a few days ago.

"Encephalitis lethargica? Isn't this the 'narcolepsy' that breaks out due to the imprisonment of the sleep demon? It turns out that there is such a serious scientific name in medicine." Lin You was more and more surprised the more he read it.

Unity Kincaid fell into a deep sleep at the beginning of her life, and when she opened her eyes, she was already in her twilight years. Perhaps because her family was wealthy, she was still well taken care of after falling into a deep sleep, and became the only survivor among the first group of "narcolepsy" patients in England.

Even more bizarre is that this woman actually got pregnant while sleeping and gave birth to a child, and later had a great-grandson named "Jed". The problem is that no one knows how she got pregnant; the police and women's protection agencies have investigated for several years, but have not found out which man violated Unity while she was sleeping.

For decades afterwards, Unity continued to sleep without any new accidents. The children she gave birth to also grew up safely, got married and had children. Until about 20 years ago, Unity's grandchildren moved to the United States. "Jade" is the youngest of the great-grandchildren, and has an older sister. Their parents died in an accident ten years ago. Since no other relatives with legal guardianship could be found, the two children were taken away by welfare agencies and sent to different foster families.

"These two unlucky kids..." Lin You couldn't help but sigh after seeing the experiences of "Jed" and his sister "Rose".

Unity Kincaid was born into a wealthy family, but her descendants did not enjoy much of a wealthy life; because Unity herself was the only legal heir to the family property. When she inherited the property, the child she gave birth to in her sleep was still an infant, and she had no other blood relatives.

Before Unity's parents passed away, they set up a special medical fund for their sick daughter and appointed a fund manager and guardian. Those who assisted in managing the property and guardianship of Unity after her parents passed away would certainly try their best to prolong Unity's life, and at the same time use various legal means to deny the inheritance claims made by Unity's descendants.

Because as long as Unity Kincaid is still alive, the medical fund can continue to operate and the fund manager can continue to make profits from it. Is there a better "employer" than a rich man who is sleeping, unable to be independent, but always alive?

This is also the reason why Unity's descendants moved to the United States and eventually ended up in a welfare institution; it can be imagined that they lost the inheritance lawsuit with Unity's guardianship agency completely.

However, thanks to so many bizarre stories that happened to Unity Kincaid, her and her descendants' information was recorded by intelligence agencies; otherwise, Lin You might not be able to find the two children who were sent to welfare institutions when they were young.

Putting down Jed's information, Lin You only looked at the photos of Rose and Unity in his hands.

Her elder sister Rose is a person whose dreams even the Sandman cannot interfere with, and her great-grandmother Unity is the victim of the Sandman's imprisonment. Compared with the specialness of these two people, her younger brother Jed may just be a bonus.

Unity's photo was taken after she woke up recently. She was an old lady who felt nervous and unfamiliar in front of the camera, which was consistent with her experience of being seriously out of touch with society after sleeping for decades. As for Rose, she was about 20 years old, and there was nothing special about her from the photo and identity information. There were many young people with this image on European and American university campuses.

"Florida is the 'exile' for Cuban mental patients and serious criminals! Let's not talk about Rose, the grown-up sister, but a twelve-year-old kid who was sent to an institution when he was young? I hope he has good luck and can survive until the day when Morpheus or I find him."

Seeing that he had to make a trip to the United States, Lin You couldn't help but think of the "Lux" bar in Los Angeles that lost its owner just after its renovation; he didn't know whether the little phoenix Phoenix had left, or was still lingering there, waiting for Lucifer to return.

As the saying goes, what you think will come true. Just as I thought of the Phoenix, a phoenix wrapped in a ball of fire appeared at the gate of the manor.

Under Lin You's astonished gaze, the little phoenix crashed headfirst into a roadside tree at the entrance of the manor, burning large pieces of bark black. At the same time, it fell to the ground, and its bones spun around on the lawn like a Hot Wheels, leaving a bright line of fire.

Finally, he fell to the ground with his arms and legs spread out, unable to get up after struggling for a long time.

Lin You pulled out his magic wand and sprinkled water everywhere to put out the flames. He also threw a big water ball down on Phoenix's head, soaking it like a drowned chicken.

"Ah, ah, ah!" Phoenix shuddered and jumped up from the ground. But his wet wings were struggling to flap, and he fell back before he could fly more than three feet high. He rolled on the ground and turned into a human form, but his hair and clothes were still wet and dripping with water.

"What happened to you just now? Were you drunk and driving? You almost burned down my manor." Lin You waved his magic wand casually, and a ball of warm wind wrapped around the Phoenix, spinning back and forth, and the clothes transformed from feathers were quickly dried.

"Bah, how can I get drunk with that little bit of wine?" Little Phoenix said stubbornly with his neck stiff.

"You really drank it?" Lin You looked him up and down. "You are either a bird or a minor. No matter which image you have, no one will give you alcohol, right?"

Little Phoenix shook his head: "Do I need others to give me alcohol... No, this has nothing to do with drinking, I'm not drunk... No, this is not what I want to say."

"He is drunk and incoherent."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, this has nothing to do with being drunk or not. I was just running too fast to avoid those birdmen and that's why I fell." The little phoenix jumped to defend himself.

Lin You suddenly found it funny: "Birdman? Aren't you one yourself?"

The 37th Demon God felt greatly insulted and refuted righteously: "I am a phoenix, a phoenix, I just transform into a human. My true body is my true body, and my human form is my human form! Those in heaven are bird-men."

Lin You's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. He reached out and held down the jumping little phoenix. "Carefully, tell me from the beginning. Did you meet angels? What did they want you to do?"

"Today a demon came to me..."

"Wait a minute, wasn't he an angel? How did he become a devil?" Lin You was confused. Phoenix said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you ask me to start from the beginning? The story started with the devil, don't interrupt me!"

"Okay, okay, tell me from the beginning. I'm listening." Seeing that the little phoenix was getting angry, Lin You had to comfort it with gentle words.

"Actually, there's nothing much to say." The little phoenix opened its beak, almost making the person stumble. "I don't know where that devil came from. I've never seen it before when I was in hell. But it came and told me that it found a phoenix tail feather that I lost. This time it came to me to make a deal with me. It wants me to help it find a suitable person to possess so that it can gain a foothold in the human world."

"You agreed?"

"How is that possible? It's just a tail feather. Phoenixes have plenty of them, and they shed every few years. Even though they can be sold for a lot of money, if you want to blackmail me with this, then go to hell! What are you dreaming about?"

"What you saw was a ghost, not to mention a devil." Lin You teased, "You refused the deal, and what happened next?"

"Not only did I refuse the deal, I also had a fierce fight with it and took back the tail feather. I beat that guy so badly that he ran away in fear. I couldn't beat him or run away, and finally he went straight back to hell. I had wanted to ask Constantine to cast a spell to send him off, but it saved me a lot of trouble..." The little phoenix was very proud.

Lin You reminded helplessly: "Talking about angels..."

"It's almost here, why are you rushing me!" The little phoenix rolled his eyes. "The devil was just driven away, and then the birdmen came. They asked me who sent the devil and what they wanted from me. At first I didn't want to have a conflict with the birdmen, so I told them clearly that the devil was here to blackmail me into a deal, but they didn't believe me. Not only did they not believe me, they even wanted to arrest me, saying they wanted to 'interrogate this sulfur-smelling bird'. Isn't that infuriating?"

"So you fought with them?"

Phoenix puffed out his chest, but it soon collapsed. He groaned and said, "I ran away... No, that was led by a high-level angel, with three low-level ones, plus several single-winged half-angels. A large group of birdmen blocked me from all sides. If I didn't run, would I just wait to suffer?"

"Another high-level angel?" Lin You's heart was suddenly filled with waves.

"Where did you meet... those birdmen?"

"Los Angeles, where else could it be? I've been waiting for Lucifer there these days, and that guy hasn't paid me the reward he promised last time, but he's just sitting in hell and won't come out." The little phoenix muttered unwillingly; in his opinion, if he hadn't been waiting for Lucifer, he wouldn't have run into those birdmen. Even if he did, if Lucifer was also on earth, it's hard to say who would run away!

Lin You's brows furrowed even more, and he pressed on, "You need to tell me exactly what those birdmen told you, in all detail."

The little phoenix was furious: "Didn't I tell you everything? That's all, nothing else. Do you want to hear me scold them, or do you want to hear them scold me?"

Lin You had no choice but to persuade him gently: "Didn't those birdmen say that they suspected the devil that was looking for you was sent specially? They didn't say who they suspected?"

"No." The little phoenix curled its lips, and after a long while, it added reluctantly: "They asked me if I went back to hell some time ago and then ran out again."

"How did you answer?"

"I said it's none of your business!"

"Ok?"

"I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to those bird people." The little phoenix explained unhappily.

"No wonder they had to fight in the end!" Lin You couldn't help but complain.

"What's wrong? Can't you tell the truth? That's a matter of hell. It has nothing to do with them!" The little phoenix said confidently, "If you have heard what those fallen guys in hell say about bird people, you will know that I am polite enough."

Lin You was also afraid of this demon god who had lived for thousands of years but still had a childish temper. He knew that he could only stroke the bird's feathers in a gentle way: "Yeah, if those depraved people in hell met the birdman, they would probably start fighting as soon as they saw each other. You are really polite for still talking so much to them."

"Isn't it?" Little Phoenix thought it was natural.

"Think about it again. Apart from asking you to go back to hell, did they say anything else?"

The little phoenix was getting impatient: "Why do you have so many questions? Isn't it normal for those birdmen in heaven to fight with a registered demon like me? When I was hanging out with other demons, I had dozens of such fights. Why are you the only one who keeps asking questions?"

"Because I think there are too many birdmen descending on the earth recently." Lin You explained, "Not only did you encounter a group of birdmen in Los Angeles, but high-level angels were also found active in London a few days ago. I don't know if it's the same one you met, but I think it's very unusual. In the past, angels could only be seen occasionally in the human world, and most of the time there were only half-angels and half-demons active. So I'm worried that the appearance of high-level angels means something big is happening."

Little Phoenix disagreed: "What big deal can it be? You guys just like to fantasize. Angels and demons have been fighting for tens of thousands of years. It takes two to tango. As long as the demons from hell don't appear on earth at the same time, nothing big will happen. At most, I'll just hide from those birdmen for a while."

"Think about it again. Is there anything you missed?" Lin You persuaded him with reason and explained the benefits. "You have to understand that now that Lucifer is hiding in hell, I am the only one in the world who is most capable of helping you avoid those birdmen. If you help me, you are helping yourself."

The little phoenix curled her lips, but was finally convinced.

"But there's really nothing special about it. I haven't done anything to offend them. It was those birdmen who came to cause trouble for me on purpose. If I hadn't run fast, they would have even wanted to take away the tail feather I had taken back!"

"That tail feather?" Lin You thought for a moment and stretched out his hand to the little phoenix, "Can you show it to me?" (End of this chapter)
