Chapter 698: Elenna\'s Curiosity II
Elenna\'s eyes narrowed as she watched the video, theories and ideas buzzing around her mind. Her assistant stood beside her, waiting for some kind of response.
"I don\'t think so," she finally said, her tone low and thoughtful, eyes glued to the screen.
"What do you mean?" her assistant asked, looking confused.
"The great demon," she said, a small smile forming. "I don\'t think he kills innocent people."
Her assistant\'s eyebrows shot up. "What? Why would you think that?"
"He\'s had plenty of chances, but he hasn\'t done it," she said confidently. She\'d been piecing things together, and it just didn\'t add up to the typical demon behavior. This robbery case was a good example—she was sure the demon had taken out the robbers, not innocents.
He stared at her, completely incredulous. "Please don\'t tell me you think he\'s some kind of demon superhero," he said, half whining.
Elenna turned to him, pouting a little. "Isn\'t that what it looks like, though?" she shot back, her voice edged with indignation."But… demons are supposed to be evil, right?" he replied, sounding unsure.
She knew he had a point, but there was something about this great demon that didn\'t fit the usual mold. Deep down, she had a gut feeling that he was different, that he had some kind of purpose.
"Doesn\'t mean he\'s on our side," her assistant reminded her, clearly uneasy. "If he had a noble goal, he\'d be working with the demon hunters, not flying solo like this."
Elenna rolled her eyes. "Or maybe he just doesn\'t like working with humans. Could be a pride thing, you know?"
He shook his head, clearly frustrated. "Please, boss, this is dangerous. He\'s still a demon, and demons eat humans. Have a little self-preservation, will you?"
Elenna pressed her lips together, thinking it over. She knew he was right to be worried, but she couldn\'t shake the curiosity eating away at her. Something about the great demon was… magnetic.
When she didn\'t respond, her assistant gasped and covered his mouth, looking horrified. "Wait... don\'t tell me you\'ve joined one of those weird cults!"
Elenna turned to him, her eyebrows raised. "What cult?"
He looked dead serious. "The great demon\'s cult," he replied, lowering his voice like he was afraid someone might overhear. "It\'s all over the internet. Started in some forums. There\'s a whole group of people who think the great demon is a savior. They\'ve set up a secret cult to worship him like some kind of god. The government\'s keeping quiet about it since it\'s still under wraps. Some people believe it, some say it\'s just hype."
Elenna frowned, trying to process what he was saying. People were worshiping the great demon? Was this what happened when traditional religion let people down?
"So… people are actually treating the great demon as a god now?" she asked, still trying to wrap her head around it.
He nodded, looking worried. "Yeah. It\'s a disturbing trend, and it\'s been spreading lately."
She could hardly believe it. Had the world seriously gone off the rails? It was one thing to be curious about a demon, but turning him into some kind of deity?
Then her assistant\'s suspicious tone caught her off guard. "You didn\'t know about this, or are you just pretending?" he asked, his eyes narrowing.
"Hey, I haven\'t touched any demon files for three months, remember? How would I know?" she shot back, feeling frustrated. She\'d been trying to follow her therapist\'s advice to stay away from anything demon-related for a while, and now she was out of the loop on something this big.
Her assistant let out a relieved sigh, his shoulders visibly relaxing. "Alright, that\'s a relief," he muttered.
Elenna scowled. "No, it\'s worse! I can\'t believe I missed news this hot," she complained, clearly annoyed.
He muttered under his breath, "I should\'ve kept my mouth shut…" His regret was pretty obvious. He knew he\'d messed up by even mentioning it.
For some reason, her assistant suddenly looked like he was dreading something. He had this bad feeling that things were about to spiral out of control—and he was probably right.
A light tap on his shoulder snapped him out of his thoughts. He turned to find Elenna giving him a curious, almost amused look. She had a smirk on her face, a glint of mischief in her eyes. "So… what else do you know about this?" she asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
He gulped, feeling his throat go dry. He tried to deflect. "Aren\'t you more interested in the great demon himself? Maybe we should focus on him instead. I mean, without him, this cult wouldn\'t even exist…"
But Elenna wasn\'t letting it go. She was determined, driven by a burning curiosity to learn everything she could. "This cult has everything to do with the great demon, and I want all the details," she said firmly. "So… spill it."
His shoulders slumped in defeat, and he let out a dramatic sigh, his eyes watering slightly. "Me and my big mouth…" he muttered, barely audible as he realized there was no escaping her questions now.
