Aoba Office

The chain fastened to it comes from the Ghost King, which is easy to tell. I can't figure out what that chain that disappears into the void is.

I thought about it for a long time with no results. I couldn't relate it to any supernatural things I knew, so I had to give up for the time being.

When I came back to my senses, I realized that I had been observing and thinking like this for a long time, but the dream had not changed.

I thought of the skeleton, and turned around warily to see that the skeleton was still floating there, even maintaining its original posture, motionless. The swollen cloak did not move at all.

I was stunned for a moment, then looked at the baby girl, and found that the baby girl was also motionless, and her chest didn't even rise and fall when she breathed.

Time stood still.

I watched the scene in shock, but as the emotion rose, time moved on.

The baby girl was breathing smoothly and was no longer as silent as before. At the same time, she was no longer holding back the difficult breathing that made her face purple.

The skeleton's cloak flew up and down, and the skeleton's body seemed to be swallowed up by the cloak.

The surrounding scenery trembled with this change.

I can feel the power coming from the skeleton pulling at my soul.

I thought about the still scene just now.

I seem to be able to control time in my dreams. In this case, you should be able to go one step further and choose the time in your dream.

What I want to see is the past, not the future in the next few minutes.

I want to know the creation and transformation of this skeleton, or this demonic spirit.

As soon as this thought came up, I felt another pulling force.

My soul was pulled by another force, and the surrounding scenery accelerated and trembled, turning directly into flowing light.

After flying in this light and shadow for a while, I could feel that I was close to the source of power.

The light and shadow stabilized and turned into an ancient Western scene.

Looking at those people wrapped in numbness and the stone city in the distance, I didn’t know which era I was in.

However, I can still see what they are doing.

A group of people gathered around a corpse, kneeling on the ground and praying silently.

There were torches burning all around, and further away there were the howls of wild wolves and strange bird calls.

The prayer ended quickly.

No soul emerged from the corpse lying on the ground, nor did it turn into a ghost.

Instead, a black shadow appeared in the void.

The black shadow gradually formed the shape of a monster, like a strange thing made up of many beasts. It was more grotesque than terrifying.

Those people did not see the monster, but after finishing their prayers, they left silently, leaving the body here.

They took the torches with them as they left, thus lighting up more of the surrounding areas.

Only then did I realize that there were many scattered bones here.

As the people left, wild beasts like wolves approached here in the night.

The monster didn't shut down the beast, nor did it care about the people leaving. It landed directly next to the corpse, stretched out its hand, grabbed the soul from the corpse, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed it.

The soul showed no resistance and was eaten without any reaction.

Is this the original Death?

Such a thing is of course different from the God of Death in my impression. To be precise, it is different from the god in charge of death in the mythological system that I know.

This is not surprising. The mythological systems of every nation and every culture have similarities but also many differences.

I tried again to change the time in my dream. This time it went smoothly.

Moving forward a little in time, the image of Death God has changed.

It still retains part of the beast's body, but it already has a human head with horns and red and black skin. It has a lot in common with the devil in my impression.

At this time, it is still a pure spirit, but it has become sane and is no longer the God of Death that is always there to follow human prayers.

I saw it being summoned, driven to kill, and deceiving people to kill the person who summoned it.

It's more like a demon.

Devil... is that great wizard still there?

I had this idea inexplicably and wanted to know if this period of history had been changed.

The time of the dream has not changed.

Only then did I realize that this was not the kind of situation where I could directly access memories. All I could change was the time, instead of being able to see what I wanted to see, or getting feedback even if I couldn’t see it.

I adjusted the world little by little, as if I was watching history at double speed. I have experienced this situation before.

As I became more proficient in this operation, what I saw was no longer a smooth picture, but a series of frozen pictures. Just by taking a quick look, and combining it with the time I control, I can probably determine what is happening now and the changes in Phenxit.

It is not a dead thing. Compared with ghosts and living people, its life span is longer and it changes more.

It changes with people's consciousness, their image changes, and their behavior style also changes.

From the beginning, he was just summoned to deal with the souls of the dead, to an evil killing tool, to a demon that actively deceives humans and absorbs souls. This series of changes are just spiritual changes.

It never became the King of Ghosts.

However, this style of behavior also has the meaning of the ghost king setting the rules.

Unknowingly, it became a kind of ghost king, but its thoughts were very firm and it knew exactly what it was, and no yin energy was produced in its body.

I suddenly stopped moving in time, but the dream had already rushed to the next time period.

I set the time back, searched carefully, and found something familiar.

"One Step Fortune", Tiannan Fortune Group...

Pay attention to software, contracts, lifespan...

I found these from memory.

This is a commission that Aoba and the others have handled.

Is Mencet the demon related to this matter?

However, it's not surprising. Although demons are always linked to transactions and souls, and there are many demons, with the activity of exorcists, many demons have been killed, and there are very few left.

One of them has contact with Qingye and has a relationship with me, which is considered normal.

Relating this style of behavior to what is happening now, it seems that this is a habitual approach of Mingxit.

He used to be able to control an investment company to trick people into signing contracts and harvest people's lives. This time, if you invade Sihai Wealth, invade the communication system, and directly make transactions with people, it is a routine approach.

My heart moved and I thought of the people in Qingye.

I patiently watched this dream, but I only listened to the report from Mingxit's men. Mingxit did not go to see Qingye's people in person.

This made me disappointed and I had to give up the idea.

At this time, modern society, where everything can be entertained, has developed and prospered, and the image of the death god with the skull and sickle has gradually changed.

Mingxit was sitting on the single sofa, looking at her hands that had only bones turned as smooth as jade, and her nails were still a charming purple, and her mood suddenly became bad.
