Odd Containment Specialist

When Murong Shangjin saw Xia Shou's prosthetic limb, he was stunned for a moment. Some things that he still remembered but had long been thrown into the corner of his memory were dug out again under the stimulation of Xia Shou's prosthetic limb, and were placed neatly in Murong Shangjin's mind.

During the Blood Demon House incident, he participated in the translation of "Dorian Gray's Notebook". Although he only deciphered one paragraph, Murong Shangjin still remembered that Dorian Gray wrote a record about the Blood Demon House in words:

[Regarding the follow-up of this house, I heard from a local wizard. He said that people who entered the house could not come out, and those who came out were all people parasitized by the blood demon.

People parasitized by the blood demon usually look no different from ordinary people. Their memories, personalities, everything is the same as before, but as long as time passes, their bodies will slowly rot, and they must eat the flesh and blood of the same kind to keep their bodies from rotting.

I asked him, "Is there no way to destroy it directly? Can't we burn it to death with fire?"

The wizard said, "No, the blood demon can only be destroyed in the blood demon house. Once it comes to the outside world, the blood demon is immortal, or it is not the blood demon itself that comes out, but the evil desire of the blood demon."

"Then I will go to destroy the blood demon." I said so.

Because of the portrait, I am immortal. I think if I enter this house, I can definitely destroy the blood demon.

But the wizard stopped me. He said that people with higher psychic power are more likely to be favored by the blood demon, because only powerful psychics can bear the overly evil desires. The parasitism of the blood demon is not a transformation of the flesh, but a possession of the soul.

█▊■█▊■█▊████■ (This part cannot be deciphered)

The blood demon possessed Jeffrin's body, and he turned into the wind and ran away.

I don't plan to chase him. I'm going to the next capital. 】

If you combine this description in the notes with the ending part of "The Journey of the Old and Disabled Wizard", how similar it is!

At the end of the disabled old wizard, the dead old wizard's body was bloodless, as thin as a piece of paper and dead wood, while the young hero who killed the old wizard moved into the evil castle and said that sentence.

The thief who was pardoned by the king had little to do with the boy, but had a close relationship with the old wizard. However, the boy invited him to live in the castle at the end. Isn't this a hint from the author?

The old wizard did not die, but became a boy!

No, maybe he really died, just like the people parasitized by the blood demon described in "Dorian Gray's Notebook". They usually look no different from ordinary people, with memory, personality, and everything is the same as before, but after a long time, the body will rot, and only by devouring the flesh and blood of the same kind can it be stopped.

The characteristic of rot is also mentioned in "The Journey of the Disabled Old Wizard". The disabled old wizard met a kind passerby, but the passerby's hands and feet rotted, and the old wizard's hands and feet grew back.

After the old wizard returned to his hometown, he kept inviting those disabled people to his castle to fight. There is no clear purpose for this behavior in the book, but if combined with the introduction of the blood demon in "Dorian Gray's Notebook", the old wizard is likely to devour the flesh and blood of those people!

The wizard's castle is the blood demon's house in ancient times!

Blood demon... Blood demon has existed since ancient times!

Murong Shangjin stared at Xia Shou, and a chill ran up his feet. The sudden fear made him feel like falling into an ice cellar, and goose bumps suddenly appeared on his arms and back of his neck.

This truth made him shudder, and an unbelievable answer emerged in his mind.

Survivors of the Blood Demon's House? ... No, the truth is not like this at all!

Can a newcomer who has just joined the company and is not even a finisher really survive the Blood Demon's House?

The Control Bureau should have noticed it a long time ago, and the notes also made it very clear.

People who enter the Blood Demon's House cannot come out, and those who come out are those who are parasitized by the Blood Demon!

Whether it is the boy in "The Journey of the Old Wizard" or Jeffrey in "The Notebook of Dorian Gray", they are all the same! Is Xia Shou different?

It's just that his memory and personality are exactly the same as before, so he can't tell them apart!

Murong Shangjin's brain was working fast, and he suddenly realized that the Control Bureau had not considered the possibility that Xia Shou was the parasite of the blood demon. At that time, the Control Bureau even sent out a firing squad, but because they observed the phenomenon of spell power dissipation that would only appear after the weirdness was eliminated, they judged that the blood demon's house was destroyed.

But in fact, the blood demon's house may never have been a unique weird phenomenon. He is just a derivative created by a higher weirdness!

The dissipation of spell power only means the death of the original blood demon, but there will be new blood demons.

Xia Shou is that blood demon!

"Uh... that, is there any problem?" Xia Shou saw that the moment Murong Shangjin saw him, his eyes suddenly showed an extremely horrified look, as if he was scared.

But Xia Shou didn't know what scared the other party, was it the prosthesis installed on him?

This shouldn't be possible. The people in the Control Bureau, even the civilian staff, are highly immune to bloody scenes. Compared with the daily news in the public elevator, broken hands and feet are not even a small scene.

"No, nothing! There is no problem." Murong Shangjin shook his head in panic to deny.

His heart was beating wildly, and new thoughts popped up one after another.

The words that Murong Shangjin had just read from the book began to react chemically in his mind. The insignificant details in reality began to slowly match some of the characteristics in the book.

[Scorpion grinding teeth on the spine]...

This is a symbolic writing technique!

Murong Shangjin concluded that this was an adjustment made by the author to popularize and allegorize the article. It is very likely that it is not the scorpion grinding teeth, but the shape of the spine like a scorpion.

Yes! It is the scorpion spine!

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Is there a difference between the scorpion spine and the blood demon?

When the blood demon parasitizes humans, its memory and personality will not change, but it will be manipulated by special desires. The same is true for the scorpion spine. Once it parasitizes a creature, it will gradually change the habits of the parasite, making the host extremely warlike, just like an undefeated beast!

Although it is a guess without any basis, Murong Shangjin has already assumed that this is true.

Even though there is no mention of the Second Born in "The Journey of the Old and Crippled Wizard", let alone any mention of the Red Duke and the Undefeated Beast, since this is the book that the mysterious person specifically pointed out, it should be related to the Second Born.

Combined with the assumptions he just thought of, the corpses eaten by the animals in the book are probably the Second Born themselves.

When a hypothesis can explain many problems that were originally unexplainable, and the reasoning and association are particularly smooth, then it is very likely that this hypothesis is the truth!

So... Xia Shou is actually no longer a human being.

He is a monster that is parasitized by the Blood Demon and the Scorpion Spine at the same time!
