Chapter 1692: Old Stories

"What happened to him?"

Ripple asked.

Mark leaned on the chair and paused for a while, as if he was recalling something, and then continued:

"Cassius took on a demon hunting mission and led his teammates to block an opened demon passage. As a result, there was a problem with the mission. The passage was not a small crack, but a door. They were incapable of sealing it. When blocked, everything is sucked into the channel.

By the time the rescuers arrived, the passage had been closed. It was obviously a passage randomly opened by the demons from hell.

Our rescue failed and we were about to ask the Wizards Association for help, but Cassius ran back with wounds all over his body.

After three days of rescue, Cassius was finally rescued, but he excused himself as not remembering anything and never mentioned what happened in the passage. But he became very silent from that day on.

Becky discovered her husband's abnormality. While patiently calming Cassius's emotions, she also asked insinuatingly what happened. Then she found the reason for Cassius's decadence. "

Lianyi raised her eyebrows and said:

"Cassius once told me that he said that the Shadow Hunters are the blood of the angels who became abandoned sons, and the Hunter organization is just an organization looking for a way back to heaven, but under the influence of the human authorities, it has now become a group that hunts demons. organize.

He also told me that some Shadowhunters believe that if they destroy all the demons on earth, they can return to heaven.

But he told me with absolute certainty that all demons cannot be eradicated at all, because human beings' evil thoughts are the breeding ground for demons. Only by eradicating humans can demons be completely eradicated. "

After hearing what Ripple said, Mark had a complicated expression on his face. After a while, he asked:

"Lianyi, do you believe what he said?"

"I don't fully believe it. Some of what he said is right and may be true, but I don't agree with some of his views."

"What do you think?"

"I believe that Shadow Hunters are of the bloodline of angels, otherwise we would not have such powerful power. This is a gift brought to us by the bloodline.

Since we have received gifts, we must also give something back, so it is our duty to eliminate the evil spirits who cause trouble.

As for the complete elimination of demons, I agree with Cassius that demons cannot be completely eliminated.

However, I don’t think that if humans are destroyed, the devil will disappear completely. It is estimated that by then he will become a new devil and will never be eligible to return to heaven.

In my understanding, where there is light, there is darkness. Everything has a good side and a bad side. No one can be the only one, and we shadow hunters are the gray where light and darkness intersect, the balance between the two sides.

What we are doing now is to prevent demons from occupying human living space. As for whether we can return to heaven, I don’t think it matters. What will happen if we go back?

Long life and strong strength are not necessarily good things for us. If we want to wear the crown, we must bear its weight. The greater the strength, the heavier the responsibility. "

"Hahaha! Well said! Well said! I didn't expect you, a hunter who joined halfway, to be the one who really sees through everything.

But Cassius didn't see it through. He got into trouble and influenced a group of hunters. In the end, he chose to leave the hunter organization with his followers, claiming to be a descendant of angels, and devoted himself to finding a way to return to heaven. road.

The hunter organization retained the sacred artifact. Cassius thought it was a medium to return to heaven, so he led his people to attack the hunter headquarters.

That time we were caught off guard and many people died, including Becky, Jim's mother. "

"Jim is Cassius's son."

Ripple said immediately.

"Yes, he is Cassius's son. When Cassius left, Becky did not go with him. She did not agree with Cassius's ideas and thought he was too extreme, and the two eventually parted ways.

Not long after Jim was born, Cassius led people to attack the hunter headquarters. Becky died in the battle, and Jim lost his mother. It was impossible for us to send Jim to Cassius, so we found a couple to adopt him. Jim, and take care of the child as much as possible.

Fortunately, Jim grew up very well, inherited Becky's excellent blood, and grew into an excellent hunter. Moreover, he did not know that his father was Cassius. He only knew that his mother was a shadow hunter. Killed while guarding the Hunter group. "

What Mark didn't say was that because of the identity of Jim's biological father, the hunter organization had different opinions on Jim. Some people were afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of Cassius, and even disapproved of training him as a shadow hunter.

Others believe that the child is innocent. Cassius aside, Becky has never betrayed the organization and even died fighting to protect the organization. She certainly does not want her only son to be treated like this.

In the end, they decided to wait until Jim grew up before making a decision. Fortunately, Jim was very up to date and performed as well as ever, becoming an outstanding hunter in that class.

"Teacher Mark, haven't you thought about telling him the truth? The more you don't tell him, the more curious he will be. After he receives wrong information, he will be easily misled."

Ripple feels that these people always like to complicate simple things.

"This playground mission failed, and the hunters fell into a trap again. We are already investigating, and the clues point to Jim. Maybe Jim has been affected before we knew it."

Mark said with a sigh.

Then he opened the drawer beside the table and took out a photo frame from it. He touched the smiling faces on it with some nostalgia. This photo was a group photo of them that year. There were him, Damon, Cassius, Becky, Perlu, and Javier, who was a teacher in that class.

The faces of the people in the photo were still fresh and energetic, but the reality was different.

Lianyi took a curious look, and Mark handed the photo to Lianyi, smiling and saying:

"This is the only group photo I have left."

Lianyi took it and looked at it carefully. Although more than 20 years had passed, she could still vaguely tell who the people in the photo were.

Lianyi pointed at one of the women and asked:

"Who is she?"

"She is Becky."

Lianyi showed a surprised expression on her face, looked at Mark and said:

"I have seen this woman in the photos at home. She is my mother. My aunt told me."

Mark did not seem surprised after hearing this, but smiled and said:

"Becky and your mother are twin sisters. When you participated in the hunter training, your mother Bell was studying abroad, so she postponed the time to join the hunter organization. She was not with Becky and was two years later than us, so she was not in the photo."

"Teacher Mark, are you sure?"

"I am sure."

Mark's tone was very certain.

Lianyi sat on the chair with the photo frame. She felt that the sadomasochistic love between the original body and Jim should be a conspiracy. It was the misunderstanding of the two young people. I just don't know whether it was Cassius or Jim who pushed all this, or Jim who was replaced by Cassius.
