There’s an Old Demon In Me

"boom!"

Hearing the familiar sound of the William III gun, Wu Sin couldn't help sighing.

"Ugh..."

However, at this time, Wu Sin was not in a hurry to enter the mansion again.

Because he knew that Elizabeth at this time needed to be quiet for a while... At least, to vent the grief in her heart.

"..."

After more than 20 minutes, Wu Sin threw away the cigar in his hand, pushed open the door full of curse words, and walked towards the mansion.

"Woooo..."

Poor Elizabeth, who had dug a simple grave in the mud on the ground at this time, was sitting next to a corpse whose head had been corroded into something indescribable and sobbing in a low voice.

It seemed that she felt Wu Sin came to her side, and Elizabeth held back her grief and said softly.

"Why...."

"what why?"

"all of these!"

Elizabeth raised her head and said to Wu Sin.

"Why did I go through this kind of thing, why did my uncle become such a monster."

"..."

Wu Sin looked at the helpless girl in front of him, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Why, I will become this **** superhuman! Why, my uncle will also become this **** superhuman!"

"Is there any way I can... return to that poor but ordinary life?"

Hearing this, Wu Sin patted Elizabeth on the head and said

"Extraordinary...is originally a road with chaos and madness. How much you gain...you will lose as much."

"And, the only thing you can do is, go on."

"Get up and suppress your inner emotions. Excessive emotions will cause the extraordinary characteristics in your body to get out of control."

Wu Sin pulled Elizabeth up in front of him and said to her.

"This is the price you have to pay, never indulge in the sadness of the present!"

Wu Sin looked at William III in Elizabeth's hand and said.

"You now have two choices... one is to never need to immerse yourself in pain... shoot yourself in the head, die here, and fall into eternal sleep!"

Hearing Wu Sin's cold words, Elizabeth felt that the firearm in her hand suddenly became heavy!

As heavy as she herself...

Some can't handle it!

"Second choice..."

Wu Sin's black pupils stared at Elizabeth's pale amber eyes.

"You have to learn to be cold and hard... Grit your teeth and live! Go to restore the truth of this matter, and then live with relief!"

Wu Sin held Elizabeth's hand and placed the muzzle next to her head.

"Make a choice!"

Elizabeth trembled a few times, but finally broke free from Wu Sin's hand and threw William III to Wu Sin.

"You don't have to intimidate me! I can...I can take it! By the way, Mr. Innocence, you're an asshole!"

Wu Sin smiled and stuffed William Type III back into his arms.

"At least it lifted your spirits, didn't it?"

"But...Miss Elizabeth, I seem to have a...well, very dubious hypothesis about your uncle's out-of-control, which seems to be able to explain everything that happened in your family!"

"What hypothesis?"

"Your family... everyone in your Campbell family is an existence that can become extraordinary!"

"I could feel just now that your uncle, the out-of-control monster, has the same extraordinary characteristics as you, but his ability is obviously stronger than yours!"

"Even if he doesn't lose control, his extraordinary ability may be much stronger than yours!"

Hearing this, Elizabeth was stunned for a moment.

"Wait, you mean, everyone in our family belongs to that...that's called..."

Wu Sin patted his forehead, this layman.

"Gate of hell! Remember the sequence you belong to, the gate of hell!"

"Yes, it's only possible, but I feel that way."

"The biggest secret of your family may be the bloodline you have. Perhaps, the extraordinary characteristics of the Hell Gate sequence have always been hidden in your bloodline, but..."

"Until now, you have been activated for various reasons!"

"This is ridiculous..."

Elizabeth objected to Wu's inference.

"Daenerys told me that to join every God-becoming sequence requires all kinds of special media, doesn't it?"

"Hey... I said it all, this is just an inference, isn't it?"

Wu Sin looked at the mansion.. said speechlessly.

"Okay, instead of arguing about this, let's think about it, what else is valuable in your mansion!"

"By the way, since you have been living here, in your memory..."

Wu Sin pondered for a while, and thought of a word from the past that he could still say.

"Is there anything special about your family!"

"For example.... ulterior secrecy, things that can't be done."

Elizabeth thought about it seriously.

"have!"

"what?"

"You can't waste money. Is it okay to break a copper coin in half and spend it?"

"..."

"What's wrong?"

"I was wondering if I could blow your dog's head off?!"

Elizabeth seemed to have thought of something.

"By the way, there is actually, but that thing shouldn't be a secret."

"What's the meaning?"

"It's...all the adults in our family, every year on the days closest to us when the red moon is closest to us, what activities, or ceremonies, will be held in the basement."

"Oh?"

Wu Sin felt that this seemed to be a rather unusual scene.

After all, not every family, or family, would do such strange things.

"What is it?"

"have no idea!"

Elizabeth shook her head.

"It has been said that only adults in the family can go to the basement to hold the ceremony. We children can only stand outside and play by themselves, but I didn't care much at the time. After all, I will be an adult sooner or later... "

"Where is the basement you speak of? Take me there to see it."

Now that Elizabeth has mentioned this thing, Wu Sin is ready to take a look.

After all, this mysterious basement might bury the secrets of the Campbell family.

"It's at the bottom of the mansion, but...I need to find the key!"

"key?"

Elizabeth said, "It is estimated that it is the most strictly protected place by our family in this place. On weekdays, everywhere is firmly locked by chains."

"It's alright, I don't need any keys!"

Wu Sin shook the William III in his hand and said.

"This thing is the [lock opener]!"

Elizabeth sighed and had no choice but to walk inside the mansion with Wu Sin.

Before entering, the two of them each made a simple torch for lighting.

After all, the mansion at this time has no so-called lighting equipment, and it is dark.

——————

"Cough cough!"

As soon as he pushed the door and entered, Wu Sin couldn't help frowning.

After all, he did not expect that this place is actually a mess!

The ground is full of mud and dried dust, and looking up, the corners here are full of spider webs.

To put it bluntly, this is a veritable "ghost house".

However, this did not affect Wu Sin and Elizabeth trying to find something valuable among the piles of waste.

But unfortunately, although it seems that the evacuation is very hasty, there is nothing of value or value left here.

But it is worth mentioning that in the corner of this hall, there is a fairly neat bed and some food.

It seemed that this was where Uncle Elizabeth lived in order to wait for Elizabeth.

"..."

Elizabeth wiped her tears silently, and continued to walk deeper into the mansion with Wu Sin.

They passed through several rooms and came to a descending staircase.

This ladder is not very long, only about ten meters high. Wu Sin lowered the torch in his hand and could easily see the end of it.

"Here... here is... our family's basement."

At the end of the stairs, there is a door made of metal.

Although the Campbell family where Elizabeth belongs has been evacuated, it is still firmly locked with a chain.

And the chain is a few centimeters wide, and there is a thick old-fashioned alchemy lock hanging on it!

Such an old-fashioned alchemy technology lock looks very shabby.

But in fact, it uses genuine special metal, or the kind with alchemy technology added, which is almost unbreakable, and even this kind of thing can defend against ordinary shells.

It can be said that this old-fashioned alchemy lock, generally without a key, is difficult to open.

And looking at the appearance of this door, it is estimated that it cannot be opened with brute force.

"Hey... give up, I just said, let me find the key!"

Elizabeth said speechlessly.

"I didn't lie to you, this kind of thing..."

boom!

But the next second, Wu Sin shot directly, hitting the lock with one shot.

"Okay, we can go in!"

And Elizabeth watched in amazement. The sturdy old-fashioned lock turned into a pool of... metal liquid?

This.. how corrosive is this? If the human body is corroded, she can understand.

But.... this is

"Let's go!"

Wu Sin looked at the surprised Elizabeth and showed a smile.

"Let's see what secrets your family is hiding!"

Wu Sin first gracefully made a gesture of "please" to Elizabeth, but the next second he kicked over the door and walked straight in.

"Hey, hey, this is my house, you are too rude!"

Elizabeth ran down the stairs angrily and entered this "basement" that she had never been in.

"Let me tell you, whatever valuable thing you see, it belongs to me... oh my god, what is this... what is this?"

Elizabeth, who opened her eyes wide, looked at this scene in disbelief.

A statue, a faceless demon statue sitting in the middle of the basement!

And surrounding this demon statue are countless weathered corpses.

These corpses, all in a pious posture of kneeling, surround this demon statue... and perform some kind of strange worship ceremony!

"What's the situation! How long have these been dead?"

Elizabeth looked at all this in disbelief. She couldn't imagine that her family would secretly worship this kind of thing!

This is simply incomprehensible!

"I swear.. I really didn't know it would be here... wait.."

Elizabeth looked at Wu Sin in disbelief.

"Mr. Innocence...you are..."

"Tears?"
