Chapter 2771: Ring of Darkness
Selfishness can be found in the behavior of private demon hunters. When they encounter powerful monsters, they will not fight, but call the police. But even for the Anti-Demon Special 4, there is actually no reason for them to fight to the death. After all, there is no honor in death, and there is no arrangement for the afterlife.
The atmosphere of the whole city is to protect your own interests, don't bother others, and don't bother yourself. The subtext of not causing trouble to others is not to cause trouble to yourself, ensure everyone's boundaries, everyone's interests, take care of yourself, don't think about your own interests to do anything, everyone has their own duties.
But it's still the old saying that when humans divide the work, they don't predict the problems they will face in the future, so when enemies outside the division of labor appear, doing their own jobs will lead to everything being ruined.
For example, the appearance of the Gun Demon, after such a powerful demon appeared, there was no official organization responsible for it, no special hunting team was formed, and even no special research group. It all depends on personal hatred to find the Gun Demon, but what does personal hatred count for? If personal hatred is useful, the demon would have been eliminated long ago.
Facing a strong enemy, what is needed is financial and technical support, and more importantly, organizational strength. People from all walks of life must be organized to form a team specifically targeting the Gun Demon. But there are no measures. Even if they encounter unexpected enemies, everyone still performs their duties and guards their own interests.
Everyone knows that if the Gun Demon comes, many people will die, and they may also die. But they don't care. After all, if they give up their own interests, they will die immediately, and the Gun Demon will come in the future.
If they die immediately or die later, they will definitely choose to die later.
In this environment, the situation of the Anti-Demon Special 4th Section is very embarrassing, because they are neither up nor down. There are not many supplies supported by the upper level, but there are many enemies below. They are really using love to generate electricity. However, it is precisely because people like Hayakawa Akira who are driven by hatred and keep fighting that this department can run smoothly. Otherwise, this department is afraid that Machima will be the only commander alone.
After tracking Denji, Hayakawa Akira, and other demon hunters, Katsuragi Misato and others only felt that the National Demon Hunters were really pitiful, even more pitiful than the employees of Neuron. Although Neuron has been deceived, at least he has a lot of resources and the power to fight against the apostles. But every time the National Demon Hunter encounters a demon, he needs to risk his life to test the demon's skills, and he will die if he is not careful.
And because of the rampant gun demons, countries all over the world have banned guns, just to weaken the gun demons. So the demon hunter must fight the demon in close combat, isn't this a joke? The quality of the demon is stronger than that of the demon hunter, and he can't use long-range weapons. Every close combat is a life-and-death struggle.
Poor, really too pitiful.
But they don't think they are pitiful, so Duran and the others don't have to worry about them. It's still important to catch the demon. It's still very smooth to catch the demon. Use the force field to seal a garbage demon and go back to study.
"Eating the flesh and blood of the demon can gain the power of the demon. The higher the level of the demon's meat, the stronger the power. This is also a relatively simple way of contract. Demons sometimes share their flesh and blood with their subordinates, so that they can better let their subordinates fight." "The more powerful the demon, the more precious the flesh and blood. After all, not just anyone can get the meat of a powerful demon." Duran explained.
"You know so much about demons, why don't you just tell us everything? Or just tell us how to sign a contract with the demon." Akagi Ritsuko said Duran could tell everything he knew. She now suspected that Duran knew nothing, just like a prophet. She sliced the little demon in front of her and looked at it with the simple equipment at hand, but didn't gain much. If the neuron system was still there, she was confident that she could analyze the demon's flesh and blood, and even combine the demon's flesh and blood with EVA.
But now she can only look at the cells of the demon's flesh and blood, and can't do any further work. How to use the power of the demon's cells, is it really going to eat him?
"In fact, it is mainly because the demon cells contain the souls of the demons, and the souls contain cosmic intelligence. So eating demon cells is actually eating cosmic intelligence. So in the final analysis, the most important thing is intelligence."
"But intelligence alone is not enough without a medium for release." Akagi Ritsuko said: "Now there is no instrument that allows us to convert intelligence into energy, matter, and dynamic movement processes. We can't even input the intelligence that demons have into human souls."
"Yes, as long as you have the Ring of Darkness, you can absorb souls and even have immortality. If you die, you will only lose a little rationality, but as long as you revive and keep killing powerful enemies to gain more souls, you can restore rationality." This has completely become a soul game.
"Ring of Darkness? What the hell is this thing?" Everyone couldn't help but send a puzzled look to Duran.
Duran was very thick-skinned and was not afraid of everyone's suspicion. He said, "We can let the oldest deputy commander give it a try. With the Dark Ring, he will be able to kill demons and use the demon's power. Although it is not a normal contract, if humans do not have the slightest power to protect themselves, then the contract will not be credible." If humans cannot threaten demons and cannot use force to ensure the maintenance of the contract, then the contract will be nothing more than a piece of waste paper and the demons may break the contract at any time.
Only with power can we ensure that the devil fulfills the contract. The Dark Ring is the power that humans use to ensure that the contract can be fulfilled, and it is also the channel for humans to absorb and share the devil's soul.
It is like a USB interface, which can import souls and export souls.
Whether it is a devil, an apostle, or a human, it is a computer with a soul. In the past, computers were closed or imported in one direction, but with the Dark Soul, the soul can go in and out.
If there is a Dark Soul on EVA, maybe the souls of the mothers can also come back. Of course, Duran doesn't know if it will work, after all, the Dark Ring has not been combined with EVA.
But in theory, it is possible, but now try it on the deputy commander first. There is an advanced Dark Ring specially made by Duran, which allows the soul to enter and exit the Dark Ring freely.
The deputy commander said that he didn't know why he was chosen, but he was not afraid. As an old man, he was still very brave: "Okay, let me try this Dark Ring." The old man was very free and easy. Anyway, he was old and was not afraid of accidents at all. Even if he became a ghost, it would be fine.
"So what do you need me to do?" The deputy commander is not an ordinary person. He is a scholar, a politician and a counselor, and he is very versatile.
Duran took out a red pill: "Take it, and the Dark Ring will grow out, just like an extra soul interface on your body. When you kill the devil, the devil's soul will be absorbed by you."
The old man took the red capsule without saying a word, and he was not afraid at all. The growth process of the Dark Ring was not painful. Soon, a circular birthmark appeared on the right shoulder of the old man's back. The Dark Ring had grown.
