Chapter 160 Aleister's Torture
Evans' first round of targets was aimed at York, and there was a reason for that.
In fact, if you want to make things worse, it is better to kill Vice President Boca. This is the most advantageous means of framing... Because there are indeed many people who would kill York, a bad lawyer, but only President Lloyd wants to kill Boca.
But Evans is worried that this will help President Lloyd take over the Boca faction directly.
The contradiction will indeed be intensified - but as long as President Lloyd is cruel and decisive enough, and directly takes advantage of the situation and takes responsibility for his own flying pot, Evans will become a clown. Because he has not done anything else except helping the president clear the obstacles.
In the final analysis, only Vice President Boca has the ability to compete with President Lloyd in Lloyd's, and the only person that President Lloyd is afraid of is Vice President Boca. It's just that Boca has never made up his mind to tear his face to fight him.
"Then I will make this decision for you."
Evans' mouth corners slightly raised, looking up at his destination.
This is York Law Firm in the Metropolitan District.
According to Aiwas's investigation, York Lawyer is not living in Hermes Manor in the White Queen District now.
Because Sherlock's brother Mycroft is a smart man, York is worried that he will reveal his tracks. Therefore, he chose to live far away from the Red and White Queen District... It just so happens that the Metropolitan District is a commercial area with a large flow of people. It is normal for him to live here for a long time as a lawyer.
Usually, York Lawyer lives in his rented apartment.
The apartment and the law firm are facing each other, so they can monitor and observe each other.
This is also where York is cunning-he specially asked someone to arrange a ceremony. If someone sneaks in to investigate, steal or ambush, an alarm will be immediately sounded from another house.
His male servant lives in his law firm, who handles documents for him and is also responsible for taking care of the property inside his firm.
York Lawyer's personal maid also lives in the apartment building, responsible for his food and accommodation, ensuring that there are always people on both sides and always pay attention to the alarm.
His own wife and children live in the villa in the White Queen District, and his butler is also there.
As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows.
Because the alarm sounded from another house, it would not alert the intruder here. And he could not report to the Supervisory Bureau and let the Supervisory Bureau handle the theft case. He must have handled it himself. After all, he is a demon hoster and is quite confident in his own strength.
On the one hand, this is because the Supervisory Bureau will arrive very late and will not be able to catch the scene at all, and it is highly likely that they will not be able to catch the thief and recover the lost property; on the other hand, if these supervisors are asked to investigate his property to determine the "theft value", it is easy for them to see something that York does not want them to see.
Moreover, if the relevant information or items from Lloyd's and the Noble Red Society are lost, then he may die - not on the gallows, but at the hands of the assassin sent by the Gray-Green Lady.
But on the other hand, it can also be considered that this is a means to lure him out.
When Aiwass and Lily sneaked in, they deliberately stepped on the alarms all the way as if they did not see the ritual lines, and rushed straight to the archives.
He asked Lily to light an oil lamp and pretend to search for information on the bookshelf. This angle, combined with the translucent curtains York deliberately used, allowed York to see a blurry back from the second floor of the apartment and judge that it was a young woman, but at the same time he could not see her face clearly.
Generally speaking, being young means being weak. This can further relax York's vigilance.
Sure enough.
Less than ten minutes after the hook was set, York's lawyer ran over angrily.
He quietly pushed open the door of the archives room and took a deep breath.
But before he could see Lily's face clearly.
A hand suddenly attacked from the side and grabbed York's throat!
At that moment, York was shocked. He was so scared that his soul flew away--
This is a fucking trap!
He realized in an instant that the woman who was looking up information was just a cover, and the purpose was to lure him out!
Fortunately, the other party seemed to want to ask him some questions. He just gently strangled his throat, without twisting it or suffocating him.
"Friend, friend...let go of your hands, let's talk."
York said repeatedly in a trembling voice: "What do you want? Do you want to ask something? Or do you want money? I can give it to you, but don't get excited..."
As he said this, he spread his hands to show that he had no hostility.
But in the blind spot that the other party couldn't see, York's hands suddenly opened several snake-like eyes.
That was a weak demon called "Lizard Eye Demon", and it was also a demon born naturally. Their only ability is to paralyze others by staring.
As a demon host, York can also get this feature. As long as the back of his hand is seen by others, they can lose their strength.
"Trapping Demon," York ordered in his heart, "Give me your power!"
The power of the Trapping Demon stored in the body was constantly being drained.
The bottom of York's pupils slowly shone with pink light, mixed with the purple halo that lit up at the same time-that was the magic eye that could control the will of others and induce others to fall as long as they looked at each other.
[If I were you, I would just give up resistance]
But unexpectedly, the devil in his body just sneered.
...What?
A gloomy and cold voice sounded: "It's so good to fish, Mr. Fish."
Counting the previous one, this was the second time he was caught by Aiwass.
Aiwass kindly added:
"——Also, this little trick is useless to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shadows under his feet spread out.
The entire room is covered in shadow and the light source is completely engulfed. York suddenly fell into the abyss where he couldn't even see his fingers.
His ability to "trap sight" relies on eye contact... But now he was completely swallowed up by the shadows, and he didn't even see the other person's eyes the whole time!
This is……
"...Shadow Demon?"
York's voice trembled.
This cannot be the shadow demon contracted by the demonologist - even in the Kingdom of Star Antimony, there are only a handful of demonologists who can reluctantly contract with the shadow demon. It is impossible for a big shot of that level to go out of his way to trouble him. If he wants to torture himself and arrange a random ritual, his soul will be arrested. Therefore this could be a demon possessed by a shadow demon.
But he is an official member of the Noble Red Society. He had never heard of any demons in Avalon who were possessed by shadow demons... so this one was probably a wild demon.
York himself had been a demon, and he understood the situation of the demon very well.
Before he breaks free from the devil's control and becomes a demon-giver, he will lose control from time to time and be controlled by the devil. And the more you use the power from the devil, the deeper you are controlled by the devil. And the more powerful the demon, the more difficult it is to resist.
His ability to defeat the Trapper Demon was the result of a combination of will and coincidence.
Being possessed by the shadow demon, it is basically impossible to have much will of your own. In other words, the person he was talking to was not the demon at all, but the shadow demon controlling his body!
They are both demon-type professions. Although York's level is obviously higher than that of his opponent, he is unable to defeat him.
It's just that the combat power of the Trapper Demon is completely different from that of the Shadow Demon...
"Although I've been shaking for a long time before, this time it's true."
The other party commented: "You're not good at acting, Mr. Lawyer."
"What on earth do you want! We are both Transcendents, shouldn't we be companions in Avalon!"
The power from the trapper demon emerged again, and York's voice became inflammatory: "You didn't kill me immediately, you must have something to do!
"I am also considered a senior member of Lloyd's Club. I am also a member of the Noble Red Society... Do you want to join the club? Or do you want revenge? Or are you short of money? I can help you do it.
"Sir, if you need me to do anything, you can tell me. We are all companions with the same disease... I was also a demon!"
He didn't dare to irritate the other person and directly called the other person Shadow Demon - if human consciousness happened to be controlling the body at this time, he might get angry and strangle him to death; and if he directly said "I have a way to help you suppress the Shadow Demon", Or he might be killed by the shadow demon.
His voice is subtly modifying the other party's subconscious. This is the weakest conscious modification, just to avoid being discovered by the other party: "In any case, at least we are not enemies... aren't we?"
"I do have something to ask."
In the shadows, the other party agreed.
——Okay, as long as we can communicate!
"Just ask, I can answer anything!"
York suddenly beamed with joy, and even began to imagine how the strength of Vice President Boca's faction would grow after he introduced this powerful transcendent to the association.
Even if he can't become a demon caster, as long as he can grow to the third level normally... he can basically use 50% of the shadow demon's strength.
That will be their trump card!
York has always been very organized. The trivial matter of being plotted against and attacked by others is nothing compared to the benefits. It was just a matter of losing face, and it was over with a slap in the face - even if he was slapped twice, he would not be angry at all. At least there's no anger on his face.
As a result, the other party's question made York fall into silence.
"Where does Vice President Boca of Lloyd's live? What is his true identity? Does the family have any power?"
The other party said calmly: "Does he have any skills that he is good at?"
York's pupils shrank slightly and his mouth opened wide.
"…who are you?"
"wrong answer."
A cold voice sounded.
A shadow needle, less than the thickness of his little finger, appeared from behind his back and suddenly pierced the devil's eye on the back of his left hand!
It wasn’t the pain of being penetrated on the back of the hand, but the feeling of being stabbed in the eye——
The severe pain made York subconsciously want to cry out.
But the hand on his neck suddenly tightened, stifling his cry of pain.
"I said, I said - Vice President Boka lives at 113 Green Vine Avenue, White Queen. He is a fourth-level lawyer and a fourth-level demonologist. The demon in the contract is an ice demon. , the best skill is the legal order of the lawyer faction... He is a judge of the intermediate court, and now he is a knight who can enter the Round Table Hall... He is not from a knight family, his father is a dentist, and his mother is a wealthy businessman, His father was her former lover..."
In just one interrogation, York revealed all the information.
Because he is very aware of current affairs - he is very good at reading people.
The person in front of him was obviously not someone he could fool.
Since he has a grudge against the vice president, let him go find the vice president!
——It’s none of my business!
"Thank you for your information."
The other party responded in a friendly way and released his hand from his neck.
Lawyer York breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was full of smiles again: "Oh, it's good to talk about it. We are all the same..."
"I believe that you are telling the truth. I am also very grateful that you can provide key information..."
The low and gloomy voice fell: "But my mentor has an order, I'm sorry.
"Evans Moriarty is not qualified to enter Lloyd's. This is the cause of your death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow spear pierced the heart of Lawyer York.
For the demon, this kind of damage is not enough to kill him.
But Lawyer York immediately closed his eyes and stopped breathing.
Can't wait until one o'clock! Update completed!
