Chapter 173 You Betrayed the Noble Red

Tommy did not stay in the interrogation room, nor did he go to the prison to step on the treadmill.

He was detained very carefully in the underground secret room of the Red Queen District Supervisory Bureau.

His hands were locked with glowing shackles, and his naked back was branded with a seal shining with silver-white light. He had nothing on his body except a pair of shorts without pockets.

The upper demon contracted by Tommy was chopped off by the Great Guardian in ten minutes. And after he was detained, he was searched to confirm that there were no ornaments or materials on his body - even his mouth was opened to carefully check whether there were any false teeth hidden inside.

As a demonologist, he should be disarmed... But even so, he was still firmly sealed by the law mages, making it impossible to mobilize the mana in his body. The same light attribute mana can heal others and dispel darkness in the hands of priests; but it will turn into bondage and seals in the hands of law mages.

Although Tommy knelt down and surrendered without hesitation in front of the Great Guardian at that time - in fact, when he saw the Great Guardian, he already knew that he could not escape.

If Tommy had escaped directly at that time, he would most likely be caught up by the watching griffins. He might even be caught by the Great Guardian riding a griffin.

- He couldn't even beat the Great Guardian without a griffin, let alone one with a griffin.

Even if he really escaped... he would become a fugitive and be wanted.

After all, he was not an unknown person. "Tommy Lloyd" was well-known throughout the Lloyd's District. His body size was obviously not suitable for hiding.

The most important thing was - he didn't want to die like this.

The coldness and anger in the eyes of the Great Guardian scared him.

If he didn't surrender in time, even if he was not killed, but only knocked down or injured, he would be killed by Meg's Word Spirit. But the reason why he surrendered was not that he wanted to die more simply... but that he was sure to survive.

——Because he holds too many cards in his hand.

Tommy can be 100% sure that Boca definitely doesn’t know as much as he does. Not even one-tenth of what he knows.

He usually takes on the most important part of the work for himself, just to prepare for this moment.

He knows too many people’s handles: at least two-thirds of the knights in the entire Round Table Hall have directly or indirectly sought his financial support, and at least 80% of the evidence has been carefully preserved by him.

And he also knows the strongholds and codes of the Noble Red Society in various parts of Avalon; he knows where the spies who have infiltrated are now and what they do. He also knows which knights or which people in the knight family have connections with the spies of Star Antimony or Iris, and which bigwigs have committed serious crimes... He also keeps these evidences in different places.

To put it another way, he is at least a demonologist at the peak level of the fourth energy level.

He only needs to complete the advanced ceremony to be promoted to the fifth energy level. He can escort the designated person to the fifth energy level in the ceremony - after all, if the fourth energy level fails, the soul will be seriously damaged and even life-threatening. There are not many fifth energy level strongmen in the whole Avalon.

But he is physically strong and can withstand the backlash of the ceremony. It is meaningful to give birth to a large number of fifth energy level extraordinary people; even if he advances himself, it doesn't matter, after all, he is a demon scholar without a contracted demon, and in a sense, he is harmless.

Regardless of whether he succeeds in advancing, he can also be used as a living transcendental path detector. As long as the authorities send the suspected person here, he can tell whether the other party has the level of transcendental path.

- He is really useful, in every sense.

Because of this, Tommy became tougher after being locked up. Because he is sure that after he tells all these things, the Supervisory Bureau must consider it carefully. And in order to let him survive, they will let Meg release the Word Spirit.

Although Tommy has been sealed, he can at least commit suicide and prevent the Law Mage from searching his memory. The last power of the demonologist is to sacrifice himself to summon the demon. Not to mention, he knows too many secrets, and even Tommy himself can't remember many of them. He has to rely on the texts hidden in certain places and passwords to analyze them.

Searching memories can only search for what you have seen and heard recently, but "thinking" and "skills" cannot be seen. In other words, no one knows what his password is, and it is difficult to solve the puzzle even if the encrypted document is obtained.

This is Tommy's special preparation for the Law Mage's memory search.

- If he is killed, then these secrets will never see the light of day. He threatened.

So, the situation entered the link that Tommy is familiar with - game. Or bargaining.

If he does not cooperate, he will be cursed by Meg; but if he dies, Avalon will lose a lot of valuable clues, and Avalon will not be able to find a more valuable source of information than him.

And many secrets are only known to him, and searching memories cannot find them all.

In other words, if Tommy died, it would be a situation that neither side wanted to see; but after all, he had a bomb tied to his body that would kill him if it was not defused within three days, and the initiative of this matter was in the hands of the Supervisory Bureau.

The two sides fell into a game. The Supervisory Bureau did not want Tommy to die, but it had to use this threat to reveal more information. Tommy knew that he was very useful and that the Supervisory Bureau did not want him to die, so he gritted his teeth and refused to let go. To strive for more benefits.

And this is within Tommy's comfort zone. What he is best at is gaming.

Tommy did not ask for the removal of the spirit, but asked for at least a suspended sentence and the time to be extended to thirty days. If the Supervisory Bureau agreed, he would tell three recent secrets, including the missing Aiwass. as their first transaction.

As a sign of sincerity in the cooperation between the two parties and to prove that what he said was true, he asked the inspector general who came for interrogation if she had any knights he hated.

After the other party reported the names of three knights who were hostile to the queen, Tommy did not hesitate to tell them their crimes and the location of the evidence.

"This is a trial product."

Tommy's eyes flashed with a cunning look: "You can try it, what I say is true or false.

“If you could, please Lady Meg, please loosen the noose around my neck a little… I would be more valuable.

And the Supervisory Bureau is naturally not a vegetarian. They want more, and the initiative to collaborate cannot fall into Tommy's hands.

So they locked him up in a completely safe basement and planned to leave him alone for now.

One day has passed and Tommy has two days left to live. When he has the last day or half a day left, even if he knows it, he will definitely be anxious. Even though Tommy is calm and cunning now, when his blood pressure rises, the giant blood will naturally go to his head... When that time comes, it won't be too late for them to talk about cooperation.

No food, no light. No one even spoke.

Tommy was sealed in a dark room without light or sound.

This is a very effective torture method.

Now that most of the day has passed, he no longer knows what time it is outside. It even felt like three days had passed, or that the time was about to come... The fear in his heart caused him to hallucinate, and the memories of his childhood played like a slideshow.

The people he saw and killed appeared before his eyes like hallucinations. The sounds of their voices, laughter, and death cries resounded in my ears. And Tommy was curled up on the bed, eyes open but motionless.

Tommy is a hybrid giant three generations later.

At the same time, he is also a half-elf.

The giant blood in his body is only one-eighth, while the elf blood is one-quarter.

Logically speaking, he should just be a half-elf with a bad temper.

But when it came to his generation, the giant blood in his body suddenly returned to its ancestors and became extremely active...

His father disappeared before he was born; his mother remarried after giving birth to him and died of illness within two years.

By the time Tommy was three, his parents were no longer biologically related to him. But even so, his father still raised him.

——Until he was five years old, because he could not suppress the furious blood in his body, he kicked his grandmother's knee off.

As a result, he was beaten up by his unrelated stepfather and abandoned directly to the Lloyd District.

At that time, Noble Red had not yet entered the Glass Island, so there were not so many demonologists in Lloyd District who were in urgent need of materials. So at least he won't break down into humanoid self-propelled materials on the spot.

Although the heart, bone marrow, liver and kidneys of the hybrid giant can be used as rare alchemy materials, they can be used to make giant strength potion, rage potion, powerful fetus potion and long-acting stimulant respectively. But the five-year-old giant doesn't look much different from an ordinary human child, and no one will find out that he is a hybrid giant.

However, if an adult carrying expensive items is thrown into the Lloyd District, he will most likely be in danger; but a child will be safe in the Lloyd District.

Because here, children are a commodity and a necessary material for cultivating assassins. This is especially true for children who are strong, smart and agile.

At that time, the gray-green lady was only a senior assassin, not a manager in this area. But her boss...that is, the "mother" who raised her from childhood.

Her "mom" picked Tommy up and gave him training as an assassin. However, Tommy lacks the talent to adapt to the road - the roaring anger in his body makes it impossible for him to remain silent and still, let alone stay in the dark and observe everything calmly.

So Tommy was abandoned again. It happened that the previous Lloyd needed more adopted sons at that time, so he bought Tommy from her.

Counting President Lloyd's own wife, Tommy had seven parents. However, he never felt family affection.

——No one knows that Tommy was not actually chosen by his adoptive father to inherit the surname "Lloyd".

At that time, the most promising person to inherit "Lloyd" was Tommy's sister.

There were seven brothers, Tommy being the fifth.

The fourth-ranked "Lowetta" has the adaptability to a balanced path, is smart, beautiful, and cool enough.

When she was fourteen or fifteen years old, she made a lot of money by selling ocean intelligence. And when she was eighteen years old, she even made friends with a prince - if he hadn't been killed by a curse, she would have even had a chance to become a princess.

But even so, she also used her status as a prince to get into Avalon's high-ranking circles. With her graceful figure and profound knowledge, she soon became the darling of the social circle. By then she was already vice-president of Lloyd's of London.

Tommy realized that he would never be able to compete with her. Once the "Sons of the Snake" ritual ends, the potential of one's own path will be drained away.

So after planning, he completed a murder by studying the ritual. He cursed his sister with zoophilia, causing her to have sex with bulls and be accidentally discovered by people. And she chose to commit suicide after that.

But she actually failed to commit suicide - Tommy used another female corpse to disguise herself as hers. He raped and sacrificed "Lovita", using her and his two brothers as sacrifices to summon the Labyrinth Demon.

His father, unaware that this was Tommy's doing, gave him the name Lloyd. In order to prevent him from reacting later, Tommy dragged his father into the maze and starved to death.

At that time, the supervisor also suspected him, but could not find any evidence at all.

Because their corpses were either in the labyrinth demon's labyrinth, or they melted after entering the dream world. Their corpses are not in the material world at all, and they did not even die in the material world.

Immediately afterwards, Tommy, who was only sixteen years old at the time, smartly realized that he needed to complete the chain of evidence to clear himself from suspicion.

So he faked evidence that his two younger brothers had stolen family property, purchased ferry tickets, killed their older brother and sister, and seriously injured him. After Tommy was willing to pay the price of being shot six times in the body with a pistol, the disappearance of his two younger brothers made perfect sense.

As for the brothers and sisters who were killed - of course he did it himself.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with him.

The ritual of the Sons of the Serpent itself allows and even encourages killing each other, but what is not allowed is the law of Avalon. So he completed the ritual and circumvented the law.

As for killing——

He's not human anyway. Tommy was calm about it.

The first time he killed someone, he didn't feel any discomfort, and even felt excited and stimulated - he also comforted himself: since those people regarded him as a giant, there was no problem with him killing people.

It is because of this sense of excitement that he sometimes wanders around the Lloyd District at night, hunting down people who dare to wander the streets of Lloyd District late at night, and turning them into ritual materials...and then curses himself to kill those he wants to kill during the day. Those who died. It wasn't until he got taller and taller, surpassing the common height of a human being, that he stopped wandering.

He was almost discovered at that time, but luckily there was a "Jack the Ripper" later. The crimes he committed were also generously accepted.

Later, Tommy was targeted by the Noble Red Society.

Speaking of noble red...

Tommy suddenly frowned.

...Speaking of which, has the Supervisory Bureau prepared any countermeasures for the curse?

If he betrays Noble Red, the other party will probably curse him to death. They can easily get their hair and curse him even if they don't know where he is.

In this case, his list of transactions must also include "letting a priest accompany him for protection." If he is cursed, he must be dispelled in time... From this point of view, perhaps it would be better to ask for a female priest.

At this moment, he suddenly heard subtle footsteps.

This made his stagnant thinking become active in an instant.

A second person appeared in the small dark room. His first reaction was joy - but then, he immediately felt wary.

Why didn't the other party turn on the light?

Why did he just approach without saying a word?

So Tommy also closed his mouth vigilantly, turned over and sat up, and tightened the muscles in his body. Although the power of his path cannot be used, his body is still very healthy. He surrendered promptly and was not injured. Even if he is shot with a gun, he can still survive by catching the bullets with the strong muscles of a giant.

"—The Honorable Tommy Lloyd."

A low and hoarse voice sounded: "Really?"

"……it's me."

Tommy asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

The next moment, Tommy saw a red light.

It was the "noble red" ring he was familiar with.

Did they come to rescue me?

...No, that's not right.

"You are here to kill me."

Tommy sat on the bed and replied affirmatively: "You are Aleister - who are you? If you want to kill me, at least let me hear your real voice."

After a short silence, a soft and sweet female voice, like honey, sounded: "Yes, I want to kill you.

"——Because you betrayed Noble Red."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tommy's whole body was directly penetrated by the shadow demon. But he didn't scream in pain because something was wrapped around his neck.

At this time, he wrote on the bed with his own blood: "Aleister", "Woman", "Noble Red".

——If I die, you can’t even think about it.

Tommy thought bitterly.
