Silver Blade and Rose

That's really not Edwin's style.

Grant has worked with him for more than a year, but because of personality differences, they do not act together most of the time.During the rare times of joint operations, Edwin refreshed his impression of the word "trouble". He never thought that he could live in harmony with him. It's just that Edwin really needs help from someone like him, so he can continue work together.

In his impression, Edwin rarely gave people a second chance, and he had to choose other methods if he couldn't solve the problem once.Because of this, when dealing with the case received on the 179th, Grant has always used the shortest time within his ability to solve it. Edwin is also more at ease with him and rarely interferes with his actions.

He was able to do a lot of non-work-related things in private, such as investigating the situation around the "door", such as establishing a good relationship with other members of No. 179, and finally achieved his goal - in the name of gatekeeping, move the "door" to in his own room.

The "door" cannot be moved easily, and every movement may cause unstable fluctuations in the passage extending to the other world. After Grant made this request, neither the Exorcist Association nor Edwin initially agreed, but the "door" Originally located in the basement of No. 179, there are few people who usually come and go, and there is no way to keep an eye on the seal on it. This is also a fact.He came up with a lot of reasons, and finally succeeded in persuading Edwin, and moved the "door" to his room one afternoon, and the seal was re-strengthened by the enchanter sent by the association, temporarily placing it safely into his room.

After that, as long as there was no mission, Grant shared the room with the "door" every day. Even when the lights were turned off at night, he could see it glowing quietly in the corner, as if it would suck people into an unimaginable atmosphere in the next second. Different world.It was impossible to say that he was not afraid, but he knew in his heart that he had to go. If he didn't seize this opportunity, he might regret it for the rest of his life.

In fact, it didn't take long for him to wait for this opportunity: in the afternoon when he was alone on No. 179, by accident, the seal of the "door" was loosened, and the aura belonging to the great devil came from it.

It leads to hell, as Grant intended.

He actually doesn't remember how he came back. He lost his body in hell, and he couldn't enter the territory of Onsastre to find his father. Grant dragged his weak body that hadn't adapted to it for a while, and then passed out on the way. past.When he woke up again, he was already in a certain park. He failed to compete with homeless people for a bench and was thrown on the ground. There was a huge lump on the back of his head, and he felt extremely dizzy when he sat up.

He knew that he was no longer a human being in the general sense, and he couldn't go back to the Association or No. 179 under such circumstances, otherwise he might even lose this life he picked up.In order to recuperate quietly, Grant finally chose to forge an identity and live with a new identity in a small corner of the city for a period of time.

This body didn't look like him at first, so he easily used the old way to forge his identity certificate. The other party didn't recognize him, but he was just a client introduced by an acquaintance. To avoid trouble, he did After completing the certification, his visit records will be completely deleted.Grant returned to the residential area with his new identity, rented a house with the money he had previously saved privately, found a job that could make ends meet after recovering from his injuries, and began to prepare for returning to hell.

He quickly learned that there was a newcomer in No. 179, and after knowing the way to recruit them in, Grant thought that Zalls would be kicked out by Edwin soon—ordinary people would have no way to reach that guy demanding.But to his surprise, after more than a month, Zales is still living well in No. 179. He even walks the dog in the neighborhood every day when he has no tasks, which seems to have replaced his previous position.

Grant was puzzled and confirmed that Zarles had no relevant background, so he decided to start with his family.It just so happened that Lilian came to the gym to find a personal trainer in order to keep in shape, and he easily got the job, and began to further investigate Zars.

At first, he wanted to take advantage of the other party's pure thoughts to sneak into No. 179, and take the opportunity to go through the "gate" to hell, but after meeting Zars himself, he threw this plan behind him.

Grant had to admit that Edwin had reasons for keeping the young man.

In just two months, Zars's growth has been equivalent to a year for an ordinary exorcist. He is very talented, and he can even be called amazingly talented. As long as you give him more time and patience, he is really suitable for giving Edwin as assistant.

Different from his previous walks, he is a pure assistant. From this perspective, Zals is very suitable for Edwin.

It wasn't until he returned to No. 179 and sat down in this familiar yet unfamiliar place that Grant suddenly realized that he missed it, including people and things.However, Muen, who used to get along well with him, calmed down after being angry, and told him that there was no place for him here. Hannah stood by silently, expressing her acquiescence to this fact.

Grant couldn't tell what mood he was in, and he didn't have time to think about it, because Edwin gave him a multiple-choice question right after.

"You have caused me enough trouble. If there are good reasons and preparations, I will consider giving you another chance."

Edwin said so.

But he smiled wryly and shook his head.

The premise of "sufficient reasons and adequate preparations" does not exist. Even an exorcist of his level dare not say that he will be able to pass through hell unimpeded.There are deep lakes, swamps, lava and snowfields. Besides the harsh terrain, there are many difficult opponents. Moreover, Fendeye touched his soul when he fought against him last time. Grant can imagine that when he stepped into hell again, Will be stalked and killed by him like tarsal maggots.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Edwin raised his eyebrows: "No preparation, is this your preparation?"

Grant sighed: "I didn't get any good from going there last time. Although I really want to this time, how can it be so easy to get a secret weapon?"

"Secret weapon?"

Edwin held the coffee can in his hand and looked up at him.

He just guessed why Grant had to stay. It seems that there is indeed something that can help, but it must not be so easy to get. Grant has been active in York City as an ordinary person, waiting for the opportunity.

Now that the matter was over, there was no point in hiding his plan from Edwin. Grant had to take all the secrets out of his heart and put them in front of the other party, confessing his plan.

"Have you ever heard of 'Men in White'?" he asked Edwin.

"The man in white who walked through the sea of ​​hell with bare feet and was protected by a white coat given by God?" Edwin asked back.

This is a story that has been passed down in hell for many years, and many people in hell have heard it as a child, and Edwin is no exception: the messenger from the White Land, Frisha, arrives in hell, trying to make an effort to end the war that has lasted for thousands of years , but was blocked from hell by the hell monarch with endless black flames.He stopped before the blazing black flames, closed his eyes after a moment of silence, and stepped barefoot on the black flames that could burn people to ashes.

Friesa was not completely burned by the black flames, on the contrary, he was unscathed, with his eyes closed, he walked slowly through the burning sea, and finally arrived under the throne of the monarch.

"Let the war end," he said. "Whether hell or white, the people can't take any more."

The story ends here, there is no more follow-up.But since Hell and White Land are now in peace, maybe at the end of the story, Frisha did use his own means to convince the Lord of Hell to agree to end the war.

This story is included in the secret file of the Exorcist Association. It is not surprising that Grant has seen him. Edwin leaned on the back of the sofa, looked at Grant who was a little dodgy, and asked directly: "Do you want to find Frieza's white coat?"

Leaving aside what era Frisha lived in as the White Land Emissary, it is unknown whether his white coat really has the ability to resist the black flames. He thinks it is very wrong for Grant to place his hopes on such an unreliable thing. Reasonable choice.But since the other party insisted so much and spent a lot of time and energy on it, Edwin still wanted to hear Grant's reasons.

Grant didn't hide anything from him, and said straight to the point: "I've found it."

Edwin and Grant were no longer on the sofa when Zales opened the door to bring out dinner.He searched here and there, trying to call the two to their long-overdue supper, and at last found them in Edwin's room.

To be precise, it was found in the study hidden in the closet in Edwin's room.When he pushed open the closet door, he was stopped by Kururu, as if the two inside were doing something shady.Zals knocked on the closet door hesitantly, and when he opened the door, he found that the two of them were just looking for books on the bookshelf.

"You two," he stood at the door and called down, "come out and finish your dinner before looking."

Edwin lowered his head and was reading a certain thick hardcover book. He responded, but he didn't move his legs at all. Instead, he said, "Zars, come down and help me."
