"You … what nonsense are you talking about?!"
Although she said this, anyone could feel the trembling in the watcher's tone. This was the first instinctive reaction from the body when a secret was exposed …
Roy pinched the watcher's head. He was so close to her, so he naturally felt it very clearly, so he confirmed his guess.
He wagged his tail slightly, picked up the Talisman of Sin in his hand, and continued to speculate. "Hmm, let's recall. When Fury threw this thing to me just now, she said that this talisman was worn on Envy, who she killed. She said that this thing can allow Envy to exchange power with the other Seven Deadly Sins … So the question is, why does Envy exchange power with the other Seven Deadly Sins?"
Julia could not help but ask, "Yes, why?"
"There's only one possibility!" Roy turned to Julia. "This Envy is simply a fake! The so-called exchange of power is simply fake. The true function of this talisman is to steal power from the other Seven Deadly Sins without their consent and then use it to disguise himself! "
When Julia heard this, she immediately came to a sudden realization and said, "I understand! If the strange bird that Fury knocked down is one of the true Seven Deadly Sins, then he should have formidable power himself. There's no reason for him to borrow other power through the talisman! "
"That's right!" Roy nodded approvingly. "Moreover, it's very easy to verify this. As long as we find the other Seven Deadly Sins and see if they have the same Talisman of Sin, we'll understand! If there's a talisman, then my guess is wrong. But if the other Seven Deadly Sins don't and only that strange bird has it, then it's very telling … "
Roy looked at the watcher in his hand with a playful expression. "Am I right? The true Seven Deadly Sins — Envy! "
Julia looked at Roy in astonishment and then at the watcher in his hand, who had stopped struggling. She said in disbelief, "You mean, she's the one who's really jealous?! The watcher sent by the Charred Council to the Horseman of the Apocalypse is actually one of the Seven Deadly Sins?! What … what are they trying to do!? "
"You'll have to ask her!" Roy grinned sinisterly at the watcher. "Why? Are you still going to pretend? Then I have no choice but to take you to the other Seven Deadly Sins to verify it! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the watcher suddenly said, "There's no need! The other seven sins don't have the Talisman of Original Sin … "
These words undoubtedly admitted that Roy's speculation was correct. But after being exposed, the watcher did not panic at all. Although Roy was still holding her, she said in a calm tone, "So, demon, what do you plan to do with me? Are you going to seal me into the amulet? "
As the watcher spoke, she quietly mobilized her magic power and prepared to fight Roy and Julia.
She really did not expect this demon in front of her to be so … sharp! He was able to deduce so many things from just a small flaw.
Fury's careless personality, coupled with her preconceived notions, caused her to be deceived, and she did not doubt the authenticity of Envy. But now, a demon had discovered it. This was really …
The watcher's original intention was actually to take back the Talisman of Original Sin that Fury had given to Roy. It was something very important to her, but in the end, not only did she not get it back, but Roy exposed her identity. Now, the watcher could be said to be very regretful. If I had known earlier, why would I have stayed alone just now? Wouldn't it have been better to leave with Fury first?
However, just as the watcher, or rather, the true Envy, was about to fight with all her might, Roy suddenly let go and let her escape his control!
"Huh?! W-what do you mean?! "
The watcher was dumbfounded. She floated in the air and looked at Roy in surprise, not knowing what he was up to.
"I'm in a good mood now, so I don't want to kill you!" Roy moved his claws and smiled sinisterly at the watcher. "So, you can scram!"
Hearing this, not to mention the watcher, even Julia was dumbfounded. She tugged at Roy's wings and said anxiously, "Osiris! What are you doing? Didn't you promise Fury to help her capture the Seven Deadly Sins? That's a million souls! Now that one of the Seven Deadly Sins is here, you actually want to let her go?! "
"What Seven Deadly Sins? I didn't see them!" Roy held his demon horns with both hands and rubbed them upward. This action was like the feeling of rubbing his swept-back hair with both hands when he had hair in the past, making him feel extremely comfortable.
"What didn't you see? Isn't she right in front of you?!" Julia had yet to react and was still arguing.
"Nonsense!" Roy could not help but glare at her. "Didn't Fury kill Envy? Doesn't she know about this? The ones we want to catch are the other six! "
"Uh …" Julia was stunned. She finally realized that something was wrong. Although she still did not understand, she cleverly shut her mouth and did not say anything else.
After dealing with Julia, Roy turned around to look at the watcher and intimidated her. "Why aren't you scramming yet?! I'm just giving face to the council behind you. Do you really think I don't dare to kill you? "
The watcher looked at Roy in confusion. She did not understand why Roy had already discovered her true identity but still let her go. But she was not a fool. Roy had already made it so clear, so how could she continue to stay?
So she turned around and quickly floated to chase after Fury, who had long since left.
After she left, Julia asked Roy in puzzlement, "What do you want?"
"I don't want to do anything!" Roy stretched his back and let his bones and wings stretch out, making cracking sounds. "If I want to exchange for a million souls from Fury, then I only need seven souls in the talisman I gave her. As for one of them being wrong, it's not my problem, but Fury's own problem …"
Hearing this, Julia nodded without understanding. She could feel that Roy seemed to be planning something, but she was a little hazy and could not see through it, so she could only temporarily suppress her doubts in her heart.
After only Roy and Julia were left, the timid Vulgrim emerged from the Purgatory Space. He had witnessed everything that had happened just now, but just like Julia, he could not guess what Roy was thinking. But this profiteer was smart enough. He had always adhered to the principle of not caring about things that he should not care about, so after coming out, he said to Roy flatteringly, "Your Excellency Osiris, congratulations on making a big deal. A million souls! Even for me, if I want to obtain so many souls through trading, I would have to work for several years! "
"Okay, there will be benefits for you when the time comes!" Roy waved his hand at him and then said meaningfully, "Early birds might not necessarily have worms to eat, but smart birds will definitely be able to eat worms. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Of course!" Vulgrim replied as he stretched out his hand and made a zipping motion around his mouth.
"Very good. Let's go find the other Seven Deadly Sins!" Roy spread his wings and flew up, and Julia hurriedly followed. As for Vulgrim, he returned to his Purgatory Space and disappeared. He would not follow when he needed to fight …
On the other side, the departing watcher quickly caught up to Fury.
Seeing her appear, Fury asked her, "Where did you go just now?"
The watcher explained calmly, "I stayed where I was just now and secretly looked at the demon named Osiris. He stayed there for a while before leaving. He probably went to find the remaining Seven Deadly Sins according to your instructions. Honorable Mistress, are you really at ease giving him this mission?"
The watcher lied, but Fury did not know this. It was said that character determined fate. Fury's bad temper and careless personality made her not doubt the watcher, who had always been respectful. Fury smiled confidently at the watcher's question. "Hmph! Although that guy is a high-rank demon, his strength is enough to deal with the Seven Deadly Sins. Moreover … don't think that I don't know what he's thinking … "
"Huh? Honorable Mistress, have you guessed his plan? "the watcher asked quickly after being stunned for a moment.
"Of course!" Fury said with certainty, "He previously said that he would use the secrets of Void power to exchange for the secrets of us nephilim, and he also said that he wanted to give birth to a powerful descendant with that fallen angel. These words are simply false! His true goal is probably to find a way to promote to demon lord! "
"Is … is that so?" The watcher did not know how to respond.
"I've dealt with demons for many years!" Fury said. "So I'm very clear about the thoughts of these demons. There are so many high-rank demons from the Abyss of Hell, and every one of them is trying to find a way to promote. But only a few lucky ones can promote to demon lord. Talent and luck are indispensable! However, he can think of seeking the secrets of the nephilim to help promote. He's a smart demon! "
"Then, will you agree to his conditions?" the watcher asked carefully.
"Of course!" Fury nodded. "As long as I verify that what he said is true, then I will fulfill it. After all, that guy signed a demon contract with me."
"I think you'd better reconsider!" The watcher said. "It won't be good if another lord-level figure appears among the demons …"
But after hearing this, Fury glared at her. "Do you think I'll be afraid?"
"No, that's not what I mean!" The watcher quickly waved her hand and denied. "Mistress, you're so powerful. How can you be afraid of a demon lord …"
Fury was finally satisfied. "Okay, you don't have to say anymore about this. Anyway, even if he gets the secret of the birth of the nephilim, he might not be able to use it … Now, I need to find an entrance to an alternate space and then go see my big brother, Death, who has no news or traces. I'm sure that he must be thinking of a way to save War at this time. Although I don't like him very much, among the Four Horsemen, he's probably the only one who can really come into contact with 'depravity' …"
