The Devil Inside

Chapter 120 #119 The Law of Violence

Han Solo asked again: "Did you ask about the details? Like what books I've been reading recently, who I've been meeting, etc."

"I asked, but it didn't work."

Lydia shook her head. "Before the incident, Lord Sambo was on vacation. On the first day after returning from vacation, the situation became like this. As for what happened before his vacation, both Sambos answered fluently and their statements were almost exactly the same."

Dallion listened and said, "Obviously, the other party is well prepared. Conventional means may not be able to break the situation."

"That's exactly why our enemies are so cunning."

Lydia agreed, and there was silence.

"excuse me."

Just at this moment, the ethereal voice of a girl was heard.

Han Solo turned around and saw a young girl—

No.

That's not a girl.

It has a delicate face, thick blonde hair, and long eyelashes, and looks just like a girl.

However, her knuckles were very different from those of humans. They had unusually obvious assembly lines, and the joints were smooth, polished wooden balls.

It is a creation, it is—.

Dolls.

Han Solo knows it, the Grand Codex.

"Your Excellency the Grand Code, you are here."

Lydia greeted them, and both Dallion and the sorcerer were surprised.

The Codex smiled and nodded in response, then turned to look at Han Solo: "Sir, was it you who kicked the door down just now?"

Han Solo nodded: "It's me, but it's not my fault. The man inside was too rude and he scolded me.

If you need compensation, go to him."

"I'm not asking for compensation, I'm just a little interested in you."

The Great Code smiled slightly and turned sideways: "Would you please do me the honor of walking with me for a chat?"

what?

Oh.

no problem.

Han Solo followed the Grand Codex through a hidden door and into a reception room.

The floor was covered with carpets, green plants were placed in the corners, and an iron ceiling was hung from the ceiling. Dozens of white candles were burning to provide light.

The Codex poured Han Solo a cup of coffee and sat down opposite him: "It's incredible that you actually--"

Not affected by the law?"

"?"

Han Solo didn't dare drink the coffee made by the puppet.

He turned the cup and asked, "Law?"

"Yes, the law. As the 'Great Code', I can call upon the power of the Unrestricted Cube at will. In this space, I am the master."

The puppet spread its hands.

She smiled and continued, "I have set a rule here that says 'no violence allowed'. Actions, thoughts, and even the concept of violence itself do not exist in this space. Logically, you cannot kick the door off. It's not that you can't do it, but you simply don't have the idea because you don't have the concept."

Is that so?

No wonder the sorcerer and Dallion couldn't understand the meaning of "beat" and "kill".

The concept of violence has been blocked in their minds; it is an unheard-of word to them.

Han Solo remained calm and asked, "Why am I not affected?"

"Don't you know it yourself?"

"Maybe I'm more resistant to mental magic? There was a curse before, and others were affected, but I wasn't."

The Great Codex smiled and said, "That's the only way to understand it. Although it is a law, my ability will not work against those who are powerful or those with higher status."

Why do I feel like my identity will be exposed if I continue talking?

No.

The subject had to be changed immediately.

Han Solo said: "I have no ill intentions, I am here to solve the problem. This matter is of great importance!

It can be said that the safety of hundreds of thousands of citizens in Arendelle depends on this, the situation is urgent and cannot be delayed."

"Really? That's just your idea."

The Grand Code maintains its usual composure.

As an object, it has no heart.

Without a heart, there is no emotion. For it, it will "live" the same way in anyone's hands. It has nothing to do with good or evil, no cause or effect, it just exists.

The reason why Han Solo was called here is because we think he is extraordinary and may be able to solve the problem.

Just “solve problems” one by one.

There is no motivation, no concern for follow-up, and the code is emotionless.

Han Solo thought for a moment and asked, "Since you can change the rules here, can you remove the concept of 'lying'? Isn't it clear that you can only tell the truth?"

"Unfortunately, I can't do that."

"—can't you?"

The Grand Code shook his head: "Change the rules based on my judgment. The act of using violence is clear.

Lies need to be identified. You said you don’t know why you are not affected by the law. I can’t judge whether you are lying or not, so I can’t deprive you of your right to speak.”

"Your abilities aren't as overbearing as I imagined."

The Great Codex smiled and said, "I am just a puppet, not the god of creation. It is normal for my abilities to be limited. In addition, I think you don't have to bother trying to find a breakthrough to solve the problem from my power.

As a puppet, my computing power far exceeds that of humans. If I had a way, this situation wouldn't be here now."

Han Solo pondered.

Really—

The coincidence seems like fate.

In this world, who is best at keeping secrets and who is best at seeing through lies?

no doubt.

Lady of the Night.

Lady Night's mystical skills are ineffective against Han Solo, but it is easy to deal with a small evil god's followers!

Wrong, just right.

Han Solo previously obtained Qing and mastered a magical spell that allowed him to draw on the power of the Night Lady.

At this moment—.

No, when?

Ms. Night said that after using the skill three times until it fails, she edited the memories during that time into a video and sent it to her email.

Then Han Solo only needs to use it twice, right?

Without a second thought, he concentrated his mind, activated his magic, and found himself in deep space.

Above my head, there are two huge stars emitting green light. I can't tell whether they are the sun or the moon.

If you look closely, you can even see a hint of smile from those two stars.

At this moment, Han Solo suddenly realized!

Those are not stars, they are the eyes of the Lady of Night!

"Didn't you say you wouldn't use it even once? A child who lies needs to be taught a lesson in private."

Again.

The Lady of the Night touched Mohan Solo's back with her fingertips.

Han Solo looked down and found that he was in the palm of the Night Lady. She held him up and brought him close to her eyes, as if she was staring at a treasure or...

A toy.

Han Solo smiled and said, "I thought about it and realized that what I said before might be too extreme. I have changed my mind now. I plan to use it only twice and never a third time."

"You're so funny, I like you."

The Night Lady smiled even more mischievously, and she exhaled softly, with the heat from her lips carrying a rich fragrance blowing across Han Solo's face.

Han Solo thought that she must have something in her mouth specifically.

Otherwise, her breath wouldn't be so fresh and fragrant.

He asked, "Lady Night, you said before that you would help me? I want to know, will you fulfill your promise?"

"Hmm? Yes, of course. Only when you realize my 'convenience', you will be unable to extricate yourself."

Deep in the night, stars fell.

When he got closer, Han Solo discovered that it was a crown made of gold, wrapped in pure white light.

The crown is inlaid with rubies the size of pigeon eggs, which is luxurious and gorgeous.

Lady Night said: "This is the Crown of the Honest, my masterpiece, which incorporates some of my powers.

It has the ability to identify lies. When you tell a lie while wearing it, the ruby on the crown will glow and make sounds. It is a gift for you."

true and false?

Han Solo reached out and took off the crown.

Everything around him faded away slowly, and Han Solo returned to the reception room. He heard Lady Night say with a smile: "I look forward to seeing you next time, kid. If you also want to see me, you can use this skill. I'll give you the privilege of chatting, and it won't count."

Han Solo looked down at his palms.

It's amazing.

Made of gold and embellished with gemstones, the Crown of the Honest Man looks very expensive—"

Already in hand.

Chapter 121 #120 Sword Ghost

"Victor Maurichon is dead?"

Three hundred kilometers east of Arendelle, below the cliff waterfall.

A naked man, as strong as a bear, sat upright, with the water rushing over his body.

He received the message from the messenger without any wavering.

He just thought:

"..—Who is Victor Maurichon?"

do not know.

unimportant.

The man raised his palm and exerted force towards the air. A moment later, the vision opened up in front of him and he saw a plump woman in a blue uniform.

She had epaulettes on her shoulders with five black stars on them.

The woman realized something and turned around, looking surprised: "Alan, when did you master magic?
