Silver Blade and Rose

"So, you came here with a special purpose from the very beginning."

Edwin drew conclusions about his actions.

Grant did not object to his opinion, but nodded generously: "It is indeed the case."

"..."

Feeling speechless at his overly calm attitude, Zals sighed, got up and went to the refrigerator to get a can of drink, was about to close the door, thought for a while, took another can of coffee, passed by Ed Wen passed it to him when he was back.

"Thank you." Edwin took it, opened it, took a sip, held the coffee can in his hand without moving, and waited for Zals to return to his place before he continued, "There is something I wanted to say just now , Grant."

The room was too quiet, and when he spoke, everyone looked at him.

"Before telling your own story, you should apologize to everyone." Edwin said lightly.

Including Grant himself, everyone else was stunned.After a while, Grant stood up and solemnly nodded slightly to everyone: "I have caused a lot of trouble to everyone. I really should apologize. I'm sorry."

Munn and Hannah didn't speak, maybe they didn't know how to react, maybe they didn't want to forgive Grant, they just sat quietly on the sofa and looked up at Grant standing in front of them.After a long time, Mu En slowly said: "I don't know whether I should accept your apology, but now number 179 doesn't need you anymore."

Grant smiled and nodded: "That's right, you have already found a very good newcomer."

"I don't need you anymore" sounds a bit hurtful at first, but it's just a matter of fact. Grant was not a young man who would be saddened to hear the truth a long time ago. Even Munn said that, he was not depressed by it. .And on the contrary, after leaving No. 179, he can do many things that he could not do before, and it will not affect No. 179 or other people.

Because at this moment, he is indeed no longer a living person.

"I had a fight with the great demon Fendeye all the way to the territory of Unsastre." He gave a general account of how he died, "He was very strong, and he was determined to go through the 'gate 'It was a big accident to get out of hell, and it took me a lot of effort to stop him, but I couldn't kill him in the end."

"It is almost impossible to defeat the great demon with a human body, not to mention you, it is also difficult for the ace of the Exorcist Association to do so." Edwin said.

"Yeah, so I lost and was killed by him, so I had to think of a dirty way to get out—" Grant opened his arms in the middle of the living room, showing them his current body, "Look, I'm no longer human gone."

Edwin knew the truth the first time he saw him, so he was not surprised at this time, and completed the sentence for him: "You attacked the people of Unsastre and forcibly stuffed your soul into The opponent's body."

"Yes."

"So what Edwin found was indeed your body." Zales said.

"If it wasn't for me, he would definitely find something wrong." Grant smiled and glanced at Edwin, and said in a helpless tone, "I can fool Fendeye, but Edwin... To be honest, if I just look for How could he not find out that I was still alive for a year?"

Hell is not all demons, there are also captive humans and some other native races. The body that Grant snatched is precisely a human living in hell.And because of his long-term parasitism, his appearance has become more and more similar to his original body, so Zars recognized his identity even though he felt a little different when he saw him.

The great demon Fendeye is good at fighting and loves disputes, thinking of the human world, he also wants to start a war.Grant had heard of his name a long time ago, and met him after passing through the "gate", so naturally he couldn't let him out easily.

The seal of the "door" was broken by him, so he naturally has to take responsibility. If Fendeye is released, Grant may not be able to wait for the return journey, and the "door" will be exorcist because of the emergence of the great demon. The association is urgently blocked.Of course he didn't want to see such a result, but he didn't expect to pay such a painful price to stop Fendeye, and even lost his own body, turning into a ghost and a ghost.

His father was taken away by Onsastre, and his mother also died of illness when he was 16 years old. There was no family member waiting for his return, so Grant did not hesitate to give up his body decisively and avoid Fender. Yeah a blow through the soul.His soul wandered for a long time after leaving the body, and with the last sliver of willpower, he headed towards the territory of Onsastre, and finally found a human being with a weak soul, and stuffed himself into that body with all his strength.

Grant felt guilty for this, but not regretful.If he didn't do this, he might not have survived Fendeye's hand, and he might not have been able to continue to carry out his plan——

"I need to borrow the 'door' in Zals' room," he told everyone straight to the point without concealing his intention, "not now, but someday in the future, I need to go to hell again and take my father from Onsa Brought it back from Stern."

He was honest enough, since he was caught by Edwin, he no longer concealed any more, and confessed all his plans, just to achieve his long-cherished wish.After Zars met him today, he began to doubt his motives for dating Lilian, and Grant also confessed to him on his own initiative.

"I originally wanted to approach Zals as a stranger, and then 'borrow' his room after becoming friends... I don't need it now." He nodded towards Zals, "Sorry, no Taking advantage of your mother's wishes, I just didn't think of a better way for a while, so I chose to do so."

"You should apologize to her," Zales said, "of course, as a fitness trainer, William."

He didn't want Lilian to know the truth of this matter, including Grant's true identity and purpose, and he didn't want to know it in the end.He could understand Grant's motives for doing this, but since his family was involved, Zales did not intend to make any concessions on this matter.

He said so, of course Grant would not refuse, and said happily: "I will come to apologize to her in a few days, and let me know that I have resigned from the gym, and I will not contact her again in the future."

"You don't need to come to the door, delete my home address from your mind." Zars interrupted his seemingly sincere promise, and refused to let him have any chance to meet Lilian again.

After getting his assurance, Zales stopped participating in their conversation and took the initiative to go into the kitchen with Hannah to prepare a late dinner.Edwin sat on the sofa without moving. He waited until Zals gently closed the kitchen door before he raised his eyes to look at Grant, who had sat down again, and found out the hidden problem in his words: "You If you don't enter the 'door' now, what else do you need to prepare?"

He was not interested in how Grant got close to Zals' family. Anyway, no actual loss was caused, and he didn't need to make up for anything, as long as he promised not to continue.Compared with such insignificant matters, he is more concerned about the other party's next action plan - the "door" cannot be opened casually, and now the seal on it is imposed by himself, let alone how Grant intends to destroy the seal, since he has time Going to play a house-playing game of being friends with Zals means that he still needs more preparation time, and he is not in a hurry to go through the "gate" to hell right now.

What does he want to do?

Although he is no longer the original human body, what Grant now has is just the body of an ordinary low-level hell citizen, which is essentially the same as a human being, and may not even be as strong as his original body.Edwin didn't think he would choose to change his body again. This would take a toll on his soul, and if he was not careful, his soul would be scattered. There was no chance to start all over again. The only thing Grant could choose was to strengthen himself in some way. Go through the "gate" and make your way across the long lava field unharmed to Onthast's domain.

This is not something that can be done casually. Grant has been dormant for a year, and except for the time for soul trauma recovery, the rest of the time is probably busy with this.

Not surprised that he saw through his plan, Grant smiled helplessly, leaned on the sofa and sighed.

"To be honest, I didn't think about talking to you about this." He said, "After all, the 'gate' has a lot to do with your existence, and I want to break the seal and enter hell, to some extent, I am causing trouble for you— —”

He knew why the "gate" suddenly appeared in York decades ago, even though he was not born then.The Exorcist Association has a top-secret data storage room. Most of the files stored in it have not been uploaded to the internal network, and even require high authority to view them. Grant himself does not have access authority, but he is responsible for assisting in the establishment and improvement of the association's internal network. I once got a chance to enter the storage room to find information.

He didn't know Edwin at that time, and No. 179 hadn't been formally established. He just wanted to use this precious opportunity to find out as many ways to go to hell as possible.He did find a practical method in it, and the opportunity was imminent: Decades ago, York City was exiled here because a certain figure from hell was voted out, creating a "door" that could communicate with different worlds.

The existence of that "door" does not lead to hell, and it is not a one-time passage.Because the big man stayed in York, and it has existed for a long time, the association decided after a meeting with the other party to establish an institution independent of government agencies and associations based on the "gate" of the landing place, and also as a place for the big man The shelter in York City allows the other party to live here safely and without suspicion.

Of course they can't drive away this big Buddha, not only can't, but also try to keep the other party as much as possible to ensure the safety of York City - if he leaves, the "door" will not disappear in a short time, let alone It is possible that his departure would cause space fluctuations, resulting in even more terrifying invasions.The association did not want to see this happen, so it decided to appoint an exorcist from within as the deputy of the other party to assist in the establishment of this independent organization.

Grant knew the inside story, so he actively fought for this opportunity, and got the chance to be Edwin's partner when other unaware competitors were unwilling.

Having worked together for a long time, he knew what kind of person Edwin was, cold and uninterested, and hated trouble.His "accidental death" had already had a great impact on No. 179. Most likely, Edwin would not be willing to help him, and he might even pursue his fake death, so Grant originally didn't intend to ask him for help.

But to his surprise, Edwin didn't seem to have any intention of rejecting him. Instead, he said, "You have caused me enough trouble. If I have sufficient reasons and preparations, I will consider giving you another chance."
