First Encounter With Demonic Creatures (2)

However, Ulysses was relieved. He was worried that he really had a "dual personality," like Anna said, but now that he knew that he was once possessed by the demon, and there was nothing wrong with his body, he could go home with peace of mind.

But before setting off for home, a question lay in his mind, and it was a mystery that might never be solved.

What kind of charm did that maid named Anna have that made a demon from the legends  conceal his true identity to approach and pursue her?

Victor still had to stay in Blue Rock City to recover from his injuries. He knew that he was safe during this period. The attackers who died before he lost consciousness were probably the best fighters the opponent could send. Now that those people have died, no more groups would be assembled to assassinate him for a while.

On this point, he would also like to thank the demon who helped him kill the attacker.

Father Louis began to investigate Anna and her family, full of questions. He met the couple and three children, and found that they were all devout believers, and they would come to worship every week and donate money to the church.

From the interviews with other people on Pomegranate Lane, he found that Anna seemed to be a little different from the past, and the time point of this personality switch was probably similar to that of that demon possessing Parrish.

After discovering that Anna’s mother Gaea stopped Anna from fleeing and was injured, Father Louis gave Evan and Gaea some money so that they could repair their home.

But Anna's matter was still muddled, and Father Louis couldn't figure it out. Except for the butcher named Bobby, who was probably killed by the hands of Ulysses who was possessed by the demon, there was not much other damage caused, so Father Louis did nothing more than report the matter.

He initially felt that this was a conspiracy of the demon against the Human Realm, but the more he learned, the more he felt that this seemed to be just a cross-racial love tragedy. He was indifferent to this matter, and would leave it to those at the top to worry about it.

Evan and Gaea were sitting in their new home, and the three small ones were all in the bedroom.

Father Louis gave their family a sum of money for house repairs, but they moved away from Pomegranate Lane and rented a house in another place.

Three gold coins were placed on the table in front of them.

The two were silent for a long time.

"Anna is not a witch." Gaea said suddenly.

Evan sighed.

"These gold coins were given to me by Anna before she left... She has always been so sensible. She must have been wronged in the earl's house to speak disrespectful words to the goddess." Gaea cried and wiped her tears. "She saved these gold coins and left them for us on purpose. We can't give it to Father Louis."

Evan nodded and said, "Let’s keep them."

Gaea raised her eyes and looked at Evan dimly with tears: "She said she will come back to see us, she will definitely come back, right?"

Evan held his wife's hand: "She will."

It was so dangerous outside, how could Anna survive alone? But he couldn't say that; he couldn't make Gaea more sad.

Gaea burst into laughter, her eyes full of hope: "Yes, we will meet again one day!"

"There are that many demonic creatures outside?" Anna looked surprised.

Dubian smiled and nodded, pointing in a direction and said, "There are none yet, but if you walk more than ten miles in that direction, you will start to encounter demonic creatures."

Anna looked towards the direction Dubian pointed to. She spread her palms and a flame ignited inadvertently. She smiled: "My little flame can show demonic creatures a novelty."

Dubian saw that Anna was very proficient in lighting techniques, and he couldn't help but sigh again, saying: "Anna, don't worry. In order to escape possible hunting, we will walk along the line of life and death. There are very few demonic creatures nearby, even if there are, they are easy to deal with."

He paused and explained: "The line of life and death is not a real line, but a rough range. I don't know why, but demonic creatures will be concentrated on the end of the line of life and death and rarely come out. The mages are not willing to go in, because the environment at the end of life and death is very uncomfortable."

Anna nodded. She could understand why she didn't need to guard against demonic creatures. Demonic creatures were kept in a certain range by a certain force, and only a few would come out. It was very uneconomical to organize defensive forces to patrol the territory for these few demonic creatures that they had an extremely low probability of encountering. The old aristocrats would probably not be willing to spend this money in vain.

However, she still remembered Fiona said that the noble lords would also recruit mages, though that was just to protect themselves, not used on civilians.

Of course, the probability of civilians encountering demonic creatures was also very low. Usually, you didn’t need to take precautions. If you really encountered a once in a blue moon incident, might as well acknowledge that you are unlucky.

"Do all the demonic creatures look weird?" Anna asked curiously like a schoolboy. She suddenly remembered the sixty ways the demon had taught her to kill demonic creatures, and had just wanted to ask, but suddenly stopped.

What if the demon was actually following her right now?

Then, if she asked Dubian what a Phoenix was, and Dubian told her that it was a demonic creature of the Demon Realm, then wouldn’t the demon suspect that she might know of his existence?

The words that the demon taught her were too special. She felt like Dubian probably knew them; if she were to become confused because of Dubian’s words, that she would definitely ask to clarify, and when she used those words that the demon had taught her, Dubian would tell her that that is demon language or something…….that demon would probably flip a table!
