It was Teresa, an old acquaintance, who greeted Homura Akemi with a smile, clearly in a good mood.
"Hello, Sister Yan!" Claire smiled sweetly at her.
"It's been a while since you've been here!" Homura Akemi led the two of them into the house.
“After all, we need to investigate the organization’s dark side.” The smile on Denise’s face faded considerably when the organization was mentioned.
"What have you discovered in your investigation?"
Seeing Denise's expression, Murphy suddenly became interested.
"Not yet." Denise pulled Claire to a seat.
No matter how strong she is, she's still just a warrior. When it comes to intelligence gathering, she's nowhere near as good as the ninjas in Naruto. Not to mention she has Claire, this little burden, by her side.
"We heard that a village was destroyed by a gathering of demons, and we are preparing to investigate."
Claire raised her little face.
Demons, though ferocious monsters that feed on humans, are not mindless beings. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't act so insanely. Unless, someone is orchestrating this...
Denise was in a bad mood.
She had indeed heard rumors before that the organization would summon demons and destroy villages that refused to pay. She had even used such rumors to scare the villagers herself. But at that time, she felt that no matter how bad the organization was, it was at least on the side of protecting humanity, and wouldn't actually do something so outrageous.
But now, having left the organization and observed the world again with her own eyes, Denise realized that she may have underestimated the organization's darkness.
Murphy was not surprised at all.
He has lived for so many years and has witnessed countless evils.
In terms of evil deeds, the evil aliens in this universe are far more insane than any organization. They are simply not good at elaborate schemes, but in terms of brutality, roughly ten organizations cannot match a random wanted criminal in the universe.
“However, will it attract demons? I doubt it! You all wait here for a moment.” Murphy stroked his chin and turned to walk into the house.
Denise and Claire were confused.
"Did the store manager discover something?"
Teresa turned to look at Homura Akemi. Homura Akemi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
"Wait... does it mean Fissna?"
"Fissna?"
If Homura Akemi hadn't mentioned it, Teresa would have almost forgotten about her.
"Has the store manager cured her?"
Homura Akemi's expression was a little strange, as if she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
"dad……"
"I'm not your father!"
The noise came from the kitchen.
Soon, everyone saw Murphy leading out a noisy little girl and a gloomy-faced man.
"That's Fissna?!" It took Dinisa a while to recognize the little girl dressed like a princess and connect her with the No. 2 who had fought her before.
But who is that middle-aged man following behind Murphy?
"This troublesome guy can finally be returned to you!"
Murphy pushed Fissna toward Denise.
"Dad...don't you want me anymore?" Fissna asked, on the verge of tears.
Denise and Claire looked left and right, somewhat confused about the relationship between the two.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Murphy waved his hand impatiently.
"I'm from outer space! We're not even of the same race. Besides, if you acknowledge me as your father, wouldn't that be a huge disservice to your real father?"
But once Fissna is immersed in her own world, she completely ignores what others are saying and just sobs.
"Manager, could you explain what's going on?" Denise wasn't worried about temporarily taking in Fisna. After all, Fisna's power was crucial if they were to truly oppose the organization. But Fisna's current mental state was clearly off. She wasn't confident without figuring things out.
"The brief moment of pushing her limits confused her memories, and coupled with the trauma of her childhood, this left her in a state of mental confusion."
Murphy snapped his fingers, presenting them with images of Fissna's childhood memories.
Teresa was stunned when she saw the demon, who was feeding, being killed without resistance by young Fissna.
The demons are no match for the greatswordsmen and Awakened Ones. Trained humans could indeed potentially defeat them. However, for an untrained young girl to kill a demon through a sneak attack… the probability is theoretically not zero.
"I discovered something interesting while I was researching Fissna."
Murphy held up one finger and shook it from side to side.
"The demonic flesh and blood within Fisna's body are genetically very similar to Fisna's!"
Chapter 119 The Last Blessing from Loved Ones
"What do you mean?"
Denise and Claire stared blankly at Murphy.
Murphy's lips twitched. That's right, these two are complete illiterates; they have no idea what genes are.
"That means there's a blood connection between that demon and Fisna. He's probably Fisna's biological father!"
Murphy doesn't need to explain anymore. Teresa may lack breadth of knowledge, but to become the strongest No. 1 in history, her mind is still very sharp.
"Could it be... that the demon she killed wasn't disguised as her father, but her father himself? And then, the organization transplanted his flesh and blood into Fisna?"
"Well, although there is no conclusive evidence, based on my research results, the probability is very high."
Murphy then pointed to the man who looked like he was about to die.
"Do you remember the demon you gave me? I spent some effort to restore it to human form."
Such a shocking fact left Denise's mind blank for a moment.
"A demon...returning to human form?"
“That’s right.” Murphy crossed his arms. “Your world is really interesting. It turns out that not only are the greatswords made from cyborgs with transplanted flesh and blood, but even the demons are created from humans.”
"Are demons also modified by humans?"
“Yes.” Murphy nodded. “I found special flesh and blood that wasn’t human in his head. It’s probably because of that thing that ordinary people like him turned into monsters and changed their diet.”
Denise suddenly felt like laughing.
How absurd! It turns out that the so-called protection of the world from demons was a complete scam from the very beginning!
"But why did they go to such lengths to create demons instead of just making greatswords?"
Teresa had another question.
If Jamila's guess is true, and the organization's goal is indeed biological weapons, wouldn't it be more efficient to directly manufacture greatswords or Awakened Ones? They can't be playing a game of killing demons, can they?
"It's probably because of the compatibility. The genetic strength in that flesh and blood is very high. It most likely comes from some kind of life form far superior to humans. However, demons created by directly transplanting that special flesh and blood cannot make good use of its genes. Not only will their will be completely skewed, but their combat power will also be very limited. But if the flesh and blood that has been transformed into a demon is transplanted into a human, although the rejection rate is greatly increased, once successful, the mind will not be easily skewed, and the combat power will far exceed that of the demon."
Murphy made this judgment based on the flesh and blood found inside the demon's head.
"By the way, would you mind if I took some of your demonic flesh and blood?" Murphy asked Denise for her opinion.
Without hesitation, Denise lifted her clothes, revealing her abdomen.
That was the spot where the greatsword had been transplanted with the flesh and blood of demons.
The other onlookers were astonished that she had absolutely no sense of shame. Some people turned their heads away in embarrassment, while others covered their eyes, but still couldn't help peeking through their fingers.
But when they saw Denise's abdomen clearly, they were all stunned.
Unlike her beautiful appearance, her stomach was pierced by a long suture.
All the greatswords are split in two from the chest when they are very young, and then the flesh and blood of demons are stuffed into all parts of their bodies.
After that, although the tissue would be stitched up, due to the demonic flesh and blood, coupled with the tissue's rough and careless handling, a large amount of twisted and deformed tissue and blood vessels would still remain around the scar after the wound was stitched up, making it look like some kind of evil creature that was indescribable.
Claire looked at Denise's abdomen and couldn't help but show a sad expression.
Murphy remained unfazed and used his telekinesis to take a small amount of flesh and blood from around Denise's scar.
The whole process was incredibly fast; Denise didn't even have time to react.
"Okay, that's enough."
Murphy gestured for Denise to put the clothes down.
"Is this all there is to it?" Denise looked at the fingernail-sized piece of flesh in Murphy's hand, feeling uneasy.
With her self-healing ability, it wouldn't matter if she took a little more.
“That’s enough,” Murphy shook his head.
He took these pieces of flesh and blood simply to verify a hypothesis.
"Wait a minute... Homura Akemi, you take their orders first!"
Murphy turned and went into the lab.
Xiaoyan's clone obediently walked over, but Denise was in no mood to order at the moment, so she just casually ordered a children's meal for Claire and a drink for herself and that was it.
Homura Akemi could understand her feelings. When she first learned the truth about magical girls, she probably wasn't feeling much better than Teresa is now. Moreover, if Murphy's speculation was true, then the organization's origins might be far more sophisticated than Kyubey's.
"Now that you've returned to human form, do you still remember your past as a demon?"
After Dinisa asked the question, the already unpleasant expression on the man's face became even more unpleasant.
His face turned red and then white, and finally he simply covered his mouth and dry heaved.
Denise sighed. There was no need to ask anymore; it seemed he remembered everything.
From this perspective, for those demons and awakened beings, turning back into humans might not be a good thing. After all, during that time, their hands would be stained with a great deal of blood. Once they regain their true selves, the immense mental shock might just cause them to collapse.
Before long, before Homura Akemi could prepare the drinks for them, Murphy had already returned.
"Just as I expected! The demonic flesh and blood on your body are also related to you. It seems that in order to improve the success rate and power of the greatsword, demonic flesh and blood from relatives are very important."
While it's not yet certain whether all the greatswords were transplanted with the flesh and blood of relatives, the examples of Fissna and Teresa suggest that this is by no means an isolated case within the organization.
"The affection of family members would make it easier for the Greatsword to fuse with flesh and blood and survive the transplant. But they probably never imagined that this final blessing would push their loved ones into an even deeper abyss."
Murphy also has a deep understanding of emotions.
He wasn't sure if the organization had truly discovered the power of emotions and bonds, or if they had simply stumbled upon this probability by accident from a big data perspective. But Murphy had indeed discovered a power beyond the comprehension of ordinary logic within the demonic flesh and blood of Teresa and Faithna.
Denise, who had been smiling the whole time, stopped smiling.
The organization's greatsword users were mostly people with a blood feud with demons. Because of this, their will to fight demons was often more resolute, and they were more likely to survive the ordeal of transplanting demon flesh and blood. But she never imagined the truth would be like this.
Even though Teresa was willing to assume the worst about the organization, she still underestimated its darkness.
Chapter 120 The Flame-Burning Genius Chef Makes His Debut!
They recklessly use others as experimental subjects, even distorting and trampling on the most beautiful feelings between family members...
Previously, Teresa believed that demons were the greatest scourge of their world, and her hostility towards the organization was largely based on self-preservation. It wasn't until she later discovered that the organization might have erased history that she gradually came to terms with their darkness.
But now it seems that the organization is the greatest evil in the world, and they are the real demons.
"As expected, this organization shouldn't exist in this world!"
Enraged, she laughed, and a smile returned to Denise's face. Never before had her resolve to annihilate the organization been so firm.
"By the way, shopkeeper. Are only demons able to turn back into humans? What about greatsword users and awakened ones?"
Teresa was a little puzzled. Why was it that only the demons turned back into humans, while Fisna remained a half-demon? Could it be that the greatsword and the Awakened couldn't turn back?
Murphy rolled his eyes.
"You don't think I can figure everything out out of thin air, do you? Without enough samples, what am I supposed to analyze!"
Even if he were the world's leading war scientist, without the right materials, he would still be like a skilled cook without rice.
The reason he could turn the demon back into a human was because the alien flesh was mainly concentrated in his head, and its integration with the body was relatively low, making separation relatively easy. Even so, the entire process was incredibly dangerous. If Murphy hadn't anesthetized his consciousness, he probably would have died from the pain during the separation process.
But Fiesna's greatsword was different. The transplanted demonic flesh and blood were already spread throughout her body, and as she approached awakening, the demonic flesh and blood further integrated with her own, even altering her genes to some extent. Coupled with Fiesna's poor mental state, and lacking data, even Murphy dared not directly begin the separation process.
Essentially, even this demon that has turned back into a human is merely a showcase of Murphy's skills and has no value for widespread adoption. To truly unravel the mystery of the demon, we still need to conduct thorough research using big data.
Sample? Denise finally showed a genuine smile.
