There’s an Old Demon In Me

"Whoops..."

Elizabeth suddenly narrowed her eyes and stared at Wu Sin very interestingly.

"Unexpectedly, you are still a believer of the Mercy Mother Tree Church?!"

“…”

Wu Sin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Forget it, as a passerby, you may not know that I once established an indirect connection with the Mother Tree of Kindness, and it was that connection that allowed the containment department to save Evernight City."

Wu Sin was very serious.

Although he came from an absolutely atheistic place.

But in today's dark world, not only does he actually possess extraordinary power, but at the same time...

He has also truly seen, and beyond the technology... beyond the good and the evil, the unknown existence standing at the top!

That is the mother tree of kindness in this legend.

Under the guidance of the other party, he saw the future for a moment.

Although only for a moment.

But the meaning represented by it has exceeded the scope of Wu Sin's understanding.

because...

Time itself is a linear process, not a predictable thing.

Thinking of this, Wu Sin looked at the badge of the Mother Tree of Kindness in his hand, and was a little lost for a while.

————

But on the other side....

The red-haired and yellow-eyed Elizabeth never thought that Wu Sin, who had a serious face at this time, would actually be a follower of the Mother Tree of Kindness.

"When I was in school, I often participated in the activities of the Mercy Mother Tree Church. I remember..."

Elizabeth brought her face closer and looked at Wu Sin.

"The little brothers and sisters there are cute... kind people, and they are all very gentle... How did you get in there and become a believer there!"

At this time, Elizabeth covered her head and said very dramatically.

"Pen, oh my god, it's unbelievable that a cruel and ruthless person like you can actually be a follower of the Mother Tree of Mercy!"

Mark laughed aside.

"Be careful, if you provoke him again, be careful to be thrown away!"

Who knew that upon hearing this, Elizabeth patted her chest and said, "So what!"

"Shouldn't your containment department protect me? Protect me as a witness?"

It turned out that the reason why Elizabeth 0 was able to get on this ship was entirely because Wu Sin brought him up because he saw that he was useful.

However, the bigger reason is because she also agreed to take Wu Sin and others to her family territory.

After all... she can also buy one less ferry ticket because of this, it's still the one in the upper class!

"Protect you? Are you kidding me?"

Mark said with a smirk.

"The black-haired man in front of you shot you on the spot, and I don't even dare to care! Hahahaha, this is true!"

Elizabeth, who was frightened by Mark, shivered when she heard this.

"No...not possible."

"Really! He has a privileged existence in the entire Evernight City..."

"However, if you really want to be protected, you may consider joining our containment department!"

Good guy, it turns out that Mark was thinking about this.

"Cough, as long as you join our containment department, you will not only have a "safe" working environment, but also have the opportunity to improve your abilities!"

"more importantly...."

"You have the opportunity to explore the secrets of this world!"

"How...are you excited?"

But it's no wonder that Mark is so fond of Elizabeth. In fact, the entire Eternal Night City's containment department has been working hard to search for extraordinary people from different paths.

Moreover, Claire has always believed that the different sequences of entrants, as if combined together, will play a very powerful role.

As for Mark's own words...

As a loyal "disciple" of Claire, he trusts Claire's words very much.

In his own heart, he also agreed with Claire's point of view.

Therefore, when he saw the legendary "Gate of Hell" pathway, he immediately planned to bring Elizabeth under his command.

After all, the current containment department, under the support of Wu Sin and Iluvita, is really "rich and powerful"!

It's just a mere position, and he, the acting minister, can completely handle it.

only....

"Sorry... I still want to go home, after all... Our family is moving out of here, isn't it?"

"Cough, I can give you a good salary~ Do you want to think about it."

"Also, I promise that working hours will not delay your studies. You can leave with your family after you finish your studies~"

Elizabeth looked hesitant.

After all, the conditions given by Mark are quite generous.

Plus...

She has just become a superhuman, although she looks careless on the surface, but in fact she is still very timid.

This gave her a natural... goodwill towards an organization full of extraordinary people!

But... Wu Sin frowned upon hearing this, and after putting away the badge of the Mother Tree of Kindness, he directly interrupted Mark who was still doing pyramid schemes to the poor girl.

"Shut up, Mark!"

"Even if Elizabeth wants to join the containment department, she must go through sufficient background checks!"

Mark was stunned, he just remembered at this time, Wu Sin, no, Iluvita gave a very detailed form in order to rectify the containment department, and asked him to strictly follow the content inside.

One of the major items is that the candidates who can enter the containment department must be the ones who have undergone sufficient background checks.

Elizabeth...

And everything about the Campbell family behind her is enough to judge Elizabeth to fail.

"Cut, it's just a broken department, I don't want to join it!"

Seeing the current scene, Elizabeth returned to her room in a fit of anger, leaving only Mark and Wu Sin.

"Remember, the containment department I want is a sophisticated and sturdy machine!"

"Every employee is a gear inside, and every gear... should have its own function!"

"That's too cold-blooded, isn't it?"

Mark said sadly.

"No...this is called the price of progress, regularization!"

—————

Wu Sin returned to his room.

In his room, there is a walking stick, a special box containing different functional storage items, and a...

Very ugly doll!

Of course, it was the Chucky that appeared before.

After Wu Sin closed the door, he said to Cha Qi, who was looking at the scenery by the window.

"Go, help me guard the door, I have something to do!"

Chucky, on the other hand, was extremely obedient and made a nondescript "military salute".

Then, it came to the door and alerted Wu Xun.

The innocence is to put the badge of the mother tree of mercy on the table in front of him, and then kneel in front of it in a pious posture.

"Hur... take a deep breath..."

Wu Sin closed his eyes.

"Damn it, I forgot the prayer Emma said... Forget it, try to speak directly."

"Cough, mother tree of kindness... I am..."

In the next instant, Wu Sin's consciousness plunged into darkness.

"No, is that okay?"

In this darkness, Wu Sin continued to move forward, and finally, he reached the end of the darkness and found the black-red, twisted and deformed huge tree that he had seen once.

"Ahem, the great mother tree of mercy..."

Wu Sin said in his own consciousness.

"I want to ask for your help, please help me see my future clearly!"

Wu Sin squatted for a while.

"I want to know... if I'm in any danger during the second half of my trip!"

I don't know how long ago, when Wu Sin woke up again, he was stunned to find that he was staying in a muddy port, and this port was extremely prosperous and lively.

Although there are no high-tech fluorescent lamps used in Evernight City.

However, the kerosene lamps, personal lighting equipment and various torches lit by the countless stalls here make it as bright as day!

"You don't mean it's dangerous, do you?"

Wu Sin walked around in this still picture, but did not find any abnormality!

However, according to his extremely cautious character, he still carefully observed several times before finally confirming his result.

No danger!

A group of them can reach their destination safely.

Because in the corner of this port, he saw the familiar and was riding the...

White Crow!

"Huh...don't worry!"

Wu Sin took a breath and recited the words of thanks to the kind mother tree in his heart, and at the same time asked the mother tree to transfer it back to the real world.

only...

Human power of observation is always limited.

When a great being begins to affect the future process, there are always other great beings who can feel the thread of destiny, the traces that have been gently moved by other similar beings!

Even the trace of this fluctuation is very slight!

Just a moment after Wu Sin left, in this still picture, a pair of transparent eyes opened from under the shore, and quietly cut to the shore without destroying everything.

But unfortunately, Wu Sin's consciousness at this time...

has left here.

————

"call.."

Wu Sin lay on the ground and touched his bleeding nose.

"As expected, dealing with this kind of existence that I can't understand, there is always a price to pay."

"However...the Mother Tree of Kindness actually has good intentions for humans, which is really beyond my understanding."

"A being powerful enough to distort the future, why should you care about human beings..."

"What about how you feel about their tick-like humans?"

To explain: the dialogue between Wu Sin and Mark in the middle of this chapter is a foreshadowing, describing the conflict of ideas of the containment department in the future.

And the plot development of this volume will be slower, and more content needs to be written, which is more procrastinating.

And in this volume, there will be new evil gods, new friends, new enemies and new forces.
