Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 29 Devils and Demons

In the religious myths and legends of Western society, the devil has always been a powerful existence that opposes God and angels. Its status and terrifying degree can be imagined. When you think that what they have to face is the devil instead of the evil spirit as previously thought, Several people, even Melinda, the psychic, couldn't help but feel fear and despair in their hearts.

Only Xie Zihao, who had watched a few movies, understood that this monster was the most powerful ultimate boss in Lurking.

Other evil spirits include the transvestite fake bride who plagued the male protagonist in the first film and the chain spirit in the old house of Ellis in the fourth film. Those guys are not at the same level as the red-faced monsters.

But this guy looks scary. It seems that he doesn't have much power in reality. Instead, he tortured the family bit by bit through psychological tactics, and he only targeted children, not adults, and finally occupied Doyle. Ton's body.

This made Xie Zihao can't help guessing that this red-faced monster must be stronger than ordinary evil spirits, but it seems to be subject to certain restrictions, so it can't exert much strength.

"Is it a restriction imposed by the rules of reality on creatures in other worlds?"

Xie Zihao felt that his guess was very likely to be correct. In the DND settings that he had seen in his previous life, there was a saying that once gods and demons entered the material plane, they would be restricted by the rules of the world and unable to exert their full strength. Because the real body is too powerful, they can no longer come to the material world, but can only send incarnations and distractions, or come in the form of saints.

Then he said aloud:
"I don't think there is any need to be afraid. If the other party is really a powerful devil, why doesn't it kill or control us directly? Instead, it hides and scares people like this, which makes me think it may not be as powerful as it is in the legend. "

His words were immediately affirmed by Elis, and the old psychic also nodded in agreement:

"Xie is right. Although this red-faced devil is stronger than many evil spirits I have seen, it does not seem to be an evil spirit belonging to a foreign land. Ordinary spirits from foreign lands are targeting special people like Mr. Lambert and his son. It’s because they long for life, they want to be reborn with the help of other people’s bodies, and they want to escape from the terrible dark kingdom that brought them endless torture! And the red-faced monster is for torture, it seems to be eager to see people’s pain and fear.”

"Moreover, this monster doesn't seem to be able to manipulate us in reality, and its power in the foreign land is not much stronger than those powerful evil spirits. I suspect that it is a devil from some hell, sneaking into the foreign land to invade the human world! "

Xie Zihao couldn't help but ask after hearing this:
"Ms. Ellis, isn't there only one hell?"

While being alert to possible threats, Ellis patiently explained to the young man what she said she knew.

"Although I haven't really dealt with the devil or demons, I have a few friends and acquaintances of witches and voodoo, and I know something about hell from them."

"Hell is not the underworld in our human impression, the place where the soul belongs, or hell is a part of the underworld, but the vast majority of those who enter hell are fallen souls, where they will transform into evil creatures, such as evil Spirits, evil spirits and devils!"

"Hell is not a whole, but is composed of an unknown number of large and small hell planes. In the extraordinary world, people collectively refer to these worlds as the 'lower world', which corresponds to the kingdom of the gods. The legendary Paradise or Immortal, they are collectively called the 'Upper Realm'."

"Among the many planes of hell, the one that people are familiar with is the plane of hell ruled by the seven demon kings representing the seven deadly sins. This is why the seven demon kings have the title of hell king."

"There is also a part of hell that is a disorderly, filthy, and extremely depraved evil place. Even other hell creatures hate and hostile to it, and because these planes are divided into layers under the lower realm like a pyramid or funnel shape , like the garbage cans of the universe, endless layers upon layers, no one or other existence has ever explored the bottom there, so it is called the bottomless abyss, and the creatures bred by the fallen souls of these abyss planes are taken by the extraordinary world Called the 'demon'."

Xie Zihao, who listened attentively, also roughly understood the structure of the evil camp in this world.

In the impression of Westerners, demons are pure villains, monsters who only know violence and killing, while devils are inherently evil, good at all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, they don't like direct violence, they like to play with people's hearts to tempt people to fall.

Therefore, the demons of hell and the demons of the abyss are opposed to each other, just like the two rules of order and chaos in the universe.

As for the red-faced devil, he can be sure that it should be the hell creature that Ellis said, because the image of the other party in the movie has a tail, and the legs are hooves. This is one of the typical forms of the devil in western legends. .

So it is different from the evil spirits that appeared in other films, it is a devil.

Xie Zihao continued to ask with great interest:

"Ms. Ellis, can you tell us the difference between evil spirits, evil spirits, and devils?"

Ellis didn't refuse when she heard the words. The monster seemed to have no intention of continuing to appear, so she was willing to take the opportunity to impart knowledge to these young people.

"Speaking of spirits, there are many types of them. The three most common types we see as spiritual media are ordinary undead, resentful spirits, and evil spirits. Many spirits are included under them. The relationship between them The relationship is also from weak to strong spirits of different levels, all formed after the death of human beings. Ordinary undead are the souls of the dead with obsessions. Most of these spirits are harmless, but as time accumulates, If the obsessions in life cannot be fulfilled, then they may also degenerate into resentful spirits or even evil spirits."

"The second kind of grievances are the soul fragments left by people who were killed or died accidentally with resentment and unwillingness. These grievances can no longer be regarded as human beings, because their human consciousness has long been affected by many negative emotions and dark forces. For the most part, only a small part of the pre-life obsession still maintains a very small part of the pre-life obsession."

"The third kind of evil spirits are the evil souls who have fallen into lower planes such as hell or foreign lands. Most of them are bad people with antisocial personality in life, and they still want to do evil non-stop after death. Such evil spirits even if I , and can't eliminate it, after all, we psychics are notoriously bad at fighting head-on."

Melinda also felt sympathetic when she heard the words, because even if she encountered the wraith head-on, she couldn't beat her, so she could only find a way to rely on the remnant obsession of the wraith to solve the opponent.

Not to mention that evil spirit.

Then Ellis went on to explain:

"In addition to these three types of spirits, there is another category of spirits that we call evil spirits."

"Evil spirits are spirit bodies of the same level as evil spirits, but the upper limit of evil spirits is higher than that of evil spirits. Evil spirits are just the transformation of natural evil people after death, and can further fall into hell and abyss, becoming demons or devils .”

"The evil spirit is a spirit body contaminated with strange power. Its source of power may be a certain evil god from outside the territory or even exist for it. Therefore, the degree of harm of evil spirits is much greater than that of evil spirits. In the extraordinary world, there is a strange It is a written agreement that once signs of evil spirits are found, the news must be passed on, and the official extraordinary organization must gather strength to attack or seal it!"

"The reason for striking and sealing is because evil spirits cannot be killed unless they are eradicated from the source."
