Chapter 88 - Woman of the Eclipse (1/2)

“All right, let’s talk about proper business!” Roy put aside the matter about Hellboy and said, “Since you’re here, it means that you’ve received my message!”

“Yes, but to be honest, it was hard for us to believe!” Broom said. “We felt that the captured German soldiers had mental problems. If not for this child’s presence reminding us, we might not have believed it…”

Roy could understand this mentality. Although religion had always been talking about angels and demons, who would believe it without seeing it with their own eyes?

Broom adjusted his glasses. “In addition, we have indeed received some intelligence over the years. There is evidence that Hitler joined an organization called the Thule Society in 1937. Most of its members are German aristocrats obsessed with the occult. In 1938, he obtained the Spear of Longinus. Holding this Holy Spear, he gained the support of a powerful force. From then on, the situation has been unfavorable. After starting the war, he has been able to sweep through all of Europe, but later on, he seems to have lost the Holy Spear… As for the exact details, we don’t have accurate information. However, since then, the situation on the battlefield began to change…

“Initially, we didn’t believe that this kind of black magic could affect the war, but a lot of evidence was reminding us that we needed to take it seriously!” Broom said. “In 1943, we established the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense in response to these supernatural powers. In 1944, we destroyed a summoning ritual of the Thule Society. In that accident, Hitler’s chief spiritual advisor, Grigori Rasputin, was also sucked into the gate of hell and died. We thought that after that, Hitler would no longer be able to borrow the power of black magic, but we didn’t expect that he would have another mysterious special army in his hands… This situation is related to what you said, about the demon betraying the Abyss?”

“That’s what I want to talk about!” Roy said. “I don’t know exactly what that mysterious army is, but there’s a high chance that it was created with the help of that traitor. He stole something belonging to a demon lord in the Abyss and wants to remain in this world forever. If he succeeds, then a demon will settle down here in your world!”

“Are demons unable to exist in this world?” Broom asked curiously.

“No! Demons are beings from another world after all. They will be rejected by your world, so they can’t be here forever! But at the same time, there’s also a way for demons to stay! That is through demon contracts!” Roy discovered that Professor Broom did not seem to know much about demons, so he could only patiently explain it to him so that he would realize the seriousness of the matter.

“Are you saying that that demon might use a demon contract to stay?” Broom asked.

“It may be even more serious!” Roy said. “There is a way to break demon contracts. That is to kill the person who signed the contract with him so that the demon contract will become invalid. This way, he will be expelled. This is a very obvious weakness. I feel that with César’s cunningness, he can’t leave such a loophole for himself!”

There was one more thing that Roy did not say. César had even abandoned his body, so it was obvious that he wanted to stake everything on this. Roy did not know if he could sign a contract in his soul state, but he was certain of one thing, that César wanted to rebuild his body in this world!

Perhaps it was Roy’s words that reminded Broom. Broom suddenly said excitedly, “I remember that some time ago, we discovered that the German army was collecting information on the existing population in their occupied territory and that most of those people were born in 1917. Could this situation be related to what you said?”

“People born in 1917?” Roy was slightly puzzled. “Is there anything special about this time?”

“I don’t know, but we can investigate!” Broom said, “We only hope that after we find that demon, you can help us kill it!”

“This is my mission to begin with!” Roy nodded. “Now that the deal is completed, use your intelligence to help me find the demon, and I will kill him and help you resolve this problem!”

“Deal!” Broom nodded as well.

After the conversation, Roy used Psychokinesis to send Broom off the tall wall and then said, “I will stay here for this period of time. You have to hurry because I can only stay in this world for twenty-six days. If you can’t find César in this time, then I’ll have to find someone to sign a demon contract with me!”

The Allied officers below looked at each other, and then an officer boldly asked Roy, “What will I have to pay if I sign a demon contract with you?”

Roy grinned at him with a sinister expression. “Soul!”
