"So you finally showed yourself, Riley." Janet frowned, gripping the execution knife tightly in her right hand. "Humph, I won't let you get away this time."
"Miss Janet, have you dealt with this thing many times before?" Katsura Kotonoha asked carefully.
"No." Janet shook her head seriously and said, "Although I knew there was something in this girl's body, this is the first time I've actually seen it. Crap, I didn't expect it to be so ugly!"
"Then the name Riley is..."
"I just came up with it on a whim, doesn't it sound nice?"
"Sorry, I really don't see what's nice about it." Katsura Kotonoha's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but complain, "Isn't that just a common Western name?"
"Don't you know the Isas band, Kotonoha?" Janet said, her face unchanged, turning her head away. "The lead singer of that band is called Riley, and he looks almost exactly like this guy!"
"Looks like this?" Katsura Kotonoha's eyes widened, and she looked at the black figure floating in mid-air, exclaiming, "What kind of devil band is that?!"
"You Easterners really like to make a fuss." Janet scoffed at this, rolling her eyes. "If they don't have some of these unique features, can they even be called a lead singer?"
"This isn't about being unique!" Katsura Kotonoha clutched her head, her face full of disbelief, "Having eight eyes on your head, is that really a human?"
"Hehehe!" Just as the two were arguing, the black figure floating in mid-air let out another strange laugh and pounced straight at Janet and Kotonoha.
"Just waiting for you to do that, bitch!" Janet seemed to have expected this, sneering as she lifted the Lucifer painting from the table. The front of the painting was facing the black shadow's location.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, Lucifer in the painting started to move. His mouth opened, forming a giant mouth in mid-air, and directly sucked in the black figure.
"Whew, got it done." Janet wiped the sweat from her forehead and said softly, "This son of a bitch demon is really strong, I almost lost half my life."
"Um, I have a question." Katsura Kotonoha looked at her with a complicated expression and said hesitantly, "Could it be that this painting-like magic tool is powered by human life?"
"Of course not." Janet stepped forward and put her arm around her shoulder, whispering, "Let me tell you something in secret, actually there's a devil living in this painting too. But it's a devil that serves God."
"If that's the case, what do you mean by losing half your life?" Katsura Kotonoha looked puzzled, with a confused expression. "Also, what did you call me here to do anyway?"
"Stupid, that's just what I say to other people, okay. If I didn't say that, how would the owner of this house give us more money?"
Janet rolled her eyes, saying helplessly, "As for why I asked you to come, it's because I already registered you as my partner in the files. If we work together, we get bonuses!"
"So, you actually pulled me here to scam money together?" Katsura Kotonoha looked at Janet as if she were a monster. Why is this nun so good at this kind of scamming?
"What do you mean scam money?" Janet was very unhappy, and she yanked off her nun's hat. "The ones really scamming money are the church, those religious fanatics are the real scammers! What we're doing is robbing the rich to help the poor!"
Wow, just wow!
Katsura Kotonoha was completely stunned. Is this the battle nun who was painstakingly trained by the church for more than ten years? What an eye-opener! No wonder the church is so weak now!
Thud.
Just as the two were talking, the painting that had swallowed the black shadow suddenly fell from the table. Before Janet could pick it up, the frame on the back suddenly broke in half with a "crack".
Black mist poured out and constantly took shape, and it ended up forming a terrifying monster with wings on its back and eight eyes and eight arms.
"Jesus, this doesn't look like a small fry." Janet stared blankly at the scene in front of her and cursed.
Roar.
The monster suddenly let out a beastly roar, and terrifying sound waves spread in all directions. The surrounding decorations, utensils, including low stools and wooden tables, were instantly turned into dust and vanished.
Janet instinctively held the execution knife in front of her, and the blade bloomed with a ball of white light.
Bang.
A look of horror appeared on the little nun's face, and her body flew backward. The execution knife that was originally in her hand also turned into particles of light and dissipated into the air.
"Shitty Watt, this son of a bitch isn't a vengeful spirit at all!" Janet leaned against the corner of the wall, still holding her nun's hat in her hand. "If I can survive today, I'll definitely go to the Vatican and pull out his beard!"
Not only can it devour her Lucifer painting, but it can also shatter the execution knife that has been blessed by sacred songs. This is definitely not something that a vengeful spirit can do, the other party is at least at the level of an evil spirit or even a demon spirit.
But even for an evil spirit, it takes several bishop-level exorcists working together to destroy or seal it. With her individual strength, encountering such an existence is just looking for death.
"I'm sorry, Kotonoha! This time I've dragged you into this! To express my shitty apology to you, I'll block it! You hurry..."
Halfway through her words, Janet suddenly saw Katsura Kotonoha walking straight to the big monster and slowly drawing her sword. "Hey, girl! What are you doing?"
Swish.
The blade flashed, and a strand of silver light passed through its body.
The monster with eight eyes and eight arms stood frozen like a statue, its face still holding a ferocious and terrifying expression.
But at this time, Katsura Kotonoha had already sheathed her sword and turned to face Janet. "So, you Westerners really make a fuss. Haven't you seen old-style demon killing before?"
Crack.
As soon as she finished speaking, a crack started from the monster's brow and extended downward. It was as precise as if it had been measured, splitting it in half from the middle.
Old-style demon killing?
Janet was stunned, her face showing an unbelievable expression. She had heard legends of ancient holy knights fighting evil spirits with swords, but those were eventually proven to be made up.
Janet knew since she was a child that if humans want to expel demons, they can only rely on the power of demons! It is impossible to defeat a demon by fighting it with solely your own power.
But this girl, this slash, completely overturned her understanding.
Rumble.
The monster's entire body crashed to the ground, turning into a puff of black smoke and dissipating.
