Pastor's Tantra

In the dizzy shadow beneath Aiwass, something was slowly pouring out from inside.

It was a woman with a majestic temperament, her legs crossed, like a queen sitting on a throne.

This is also a form that Shadow Demon has never shown to Aiwass——

She has long straight hair as dark as a shadow, and the hair strands are connected into one piece. The outside is pure pitch black, while the inside is as dark red as blood.

She didn't wear glasses on her face, but her turbid green pupils looked more like a lone wolf than Bayard.

Otherwise, she looks exactly like Bayard. There isn't even any difference in appearance.

After Shadow Demon appeared, he sighed deeply, not knowing what he was worried about.

She first turned around and carefully buttoned up the clothes that were open on Aiwass' chest one by one, and then stretched out her slender but strong fingers to help Aiwass adjust the collar of the clothes. After letting her clothes that were a little wrinkled in Bayard's arms become neat again, she hugged Aiwass and turned around in an orderly manner.

She and No. 14 both have black hair and blue eyes, and their appearance is somewhat similar. At this moment, the two of them are hugging each other like an older sister hugging her younger sister.

The bats scattered on the shadow line just made a rustling sound, but did not react in any way.

It's like being stunned.

"What's the matter, Bayard?"

Shadow Demon showed a sarcastic smile: "After seeing me, will you not be able to speak?"

Her left hand holding Aiwass was already supporting her chin, and she was flicking her earlobe with the side of her thumb. At this moment, he roughly put the index finger and middle finger of his left hand into Aiwass's mouth like a demonstration, and pulled out the tip of her tongue.

Aiwass glanced at her.

Seeing that Shadow Demon seemed to want to look cool, he decided to give her this face for the time being.

——We’ll talk about it when we get back.

Along with her movements, Shadow Demon's right hand was raised casually.

The shadow thread that covered the entire room and penetrated the bat suddenly sprouted countless needles of different lengths.

The pierced bats instantly turned into balls of blood without internal organs.

The blood gathered into a ball like liquid without gravity and floated upward.

They gathered in the center and took human form again. Only her glasses fell to the floor, but they were not broken because the carpet was soft enough.

And the previous web of shadows instantly dissipated and regenerated - it originally ran through the room repeatedly, but now it turned into a rather orderly spider web, hanging Bayard in the air again.

Bayard is not powerless to tear apart the shackles of this cobweb.

But the sight in front of her made her frown and her heart beat wildly——

The shock welling up from the bottom of her heart made her not sure what to say at this moment.

This was exactly the scene she had seen countless times in her nightmares.

——As if on both sides of the mirror, two almost identical people are looking at each other.

One is sitting on the bed, holding a girl, with a wild expression... The other is hung in the sky by dark shadow spider webs, with a complicated expression.

"Ah."

Seeing that Bayard was still silent, Miss Shadow Demon sneered: "Didn't you think of this situation? I don't think it's right. If it were me, I should have thought about this possibility... I should have even dreamed about it in my dream. .

"How can I not become a demon by dying with such resentment? And if my soul becomes a demon, then who are you?"

As she spoke, she pulled out the finger that was playing with Aiwass' tongue without leaving any trace.

She leaned against the side of Aiwass's face and took a deep breath, casting her playful eyes at Bayard who was hanging silently in the sky.

"Say something, Miss Bayard. Give me some reaction, don't be like a corpse... Oh, I'm sorry, you are just a corpse. Or I can do something in front of you that I wanted to do before but couldn't. thing?"

"...Do you recognize your master?"

Bayard finally spoke: "Such a weak master?"

Her first sentence seemed offensive, but it revealed an inexplicable paleness.

Because she avoided answering Shadow Demon's questions. This already showed the confusion of her thinking. Of course, Aiwass' performance may also have played a role.

Shadow Demon just laughed. First he scoffed, then burst into laughter.

It was the first time she laughed in her native voice in front of Aiwass - it was a rather sharp and aggressive laugh, which sounded aloof and arrogant.

"yes."

Shadow Demon suddenly stopped laughing and responded seriously: "So weak. But no one can make me more satisfied.

"My dear master, when he was so weak that he could be broken by a single touch, he made a statement to kill Tiansi's people. It was not cruel words, but a possible plan.

"And in this case, she dared to ask for power from that Tiansi. What does this mean? Because she didn't even regard Tiansi as an old enemy - she neither hated nor was wary of him, and even lived with him as an equal.

"Is that fearlessness due to ignorance?"

Shadow Demon looked at Bayard and said softly: "Of course not. That is the ambition to move forward despite knowing the danger, and the courage to seriously challenge an enemy that is impossible to defeat.

"—Just like us, isn't it?"

When Shadow Demon said this, the hostility in her words had dissipated.

As the one whose name and identity were taken away, she was able to put down her hostility first.

It's certainly not tenderness and forgiveness - "Bayard" has never been associated with words like that. As early as when she was still a human, she had already learned how to usurp power over the corpses and pain of others.

Legend has it that humans are the sons of Ego and the Snake Father.

Therefore, human beings have the adaptability of the nine paths, but transcendence and love are the most universal and profound.

——Ambition and desire.

That's what drives the profit machine called Bayard. What restrains her behavior is not morality and law - it is the pride in her heart.

The "Miss Bayard" in front of her is just a fictional soul fabricated by the Pillar God.

No matter what kind of hatred you still have in your heart, there is no need to throw it at her. That doesn't mean anything, it's just false comfort.

Miss Bayard, who was put down by the Shadow Demon, rubbed her wrists that were slightly red from being hung up, and asked:

"...Don't you want to eat me?"

Shadow Demon just looked at her sarcastically and said nothing.

She hugged Aiwass harder. He leaned forward, pressed his cold and plump body against Aiwass, and put his chin on her shoulder.

Although Shadow Demon's touch was as cold and biting as the snow on a winter night, Aiwass did not push her away.

She has gradually understood what happened in the past.

——The Shadow Demon is an amorphous, sexless demon. Its body is just a ball of smoke that will never see the light of day.

Any form it can change into is the harvest of eating the other party.

Just like she took away the voice and body of the assassin Miss Chloe.

The shadow demon can never change back to its previous life because it is already dead. It is just a shadow stripped of everything, and there is no use in eating the corpse.

And since Shadow Demon can now transform into Bayard and make the same sound as Bayard...

That means that the once reborn Shadow Demon also successfully swallowed Bayard, the son of the moon.

Only when "the corpse is transformed into a son of the moon" can the shadow demon become what he was in his previous life.

However, although Shadow Demon can also change back to his own appearance and make his own voice... he also has the same memories of his past life as Bayard, the Son of the Moon. From this point on, she even gained immortality and great strength.

But she obviously no longer presided over the "Bayard Group" in the mortal world like the Moon Child, but returned to the dream world, staying quietly and alone in the shadow realm.

Now that the Bayard Group has lost its commander, it has long since disappeared into the dust of history.

——She didn’t bother to steal Bayard’s name.

Even if it was me once, it has nothing to do with me now.

"What would I do if I killed you? What's the use?"

Shadow Demon finally spoke, making a cold and sober voice: "You are not the real Bayard. Neither am I.

"Unlike you, the devil no longer dreams."
