“How about letting me talk to her?” William suggested, “I’ve always been good at chatting.”
If Lila and Bella heard William say this, they would probably burst into laughter on the spot.
However, Wes didn’t know William’s true colors. He only knew William was acquainted with Sofia and was a university student. University students, after all, should be good at chatting.
“But how are you going to chat with her if the demon’s soul doesn’t show itself?”
William replied, “I believe, if it’s really as you say, it will eventually reveal itself. When that happens, I will reason with him. It should listen.”
“Let’s wait then, who knows when the demon’s soul will show up?” Wes naturally didn’t dare to let William be alone with Sofia.
Judging by William’s performance today at the Melodic Harmony Piano House, Wes genuinely believed William to be a Soulmancer.
Wouldn’t an ordinary person have knelt on the spot upon encountering such a scene today?
Moreover, this time, the demon’s soul was of the kind that could bewitch the human heart.
“Who… exactly are you people?” Sofia, leaning against the wall and sizing up the three people in front of her, was already somewhat baffled.
What did they mean by she is actually two people?
And also, what about demon soul? What demi-god?
What kind of nonsensical things were they talking about?
Could they all be lunatics?
But, having previously heard William play the violin, someone who could perform “Paganini’s Caprice No. 24” should be…
Such a person was more likely to be an extreme madman, otherwise, how could someone so young perform “Paganini’s Caprice No. 24”?
Wes, true to being a professional, or perhaps having already thought about what to say, responded without changing his expression, “Don’t you find it strange? Why did you suddenly appear here?”
Sofia stared at him, her eyes brimming with tears, and spoke with a hint of a sob in her voice, “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?”
She was really starting to think she might have encountered some lunatics.
“Don’t cry!” Wes suddenly became flustered. When a girl like Sofia cries, most men usually find it hard to bear.
“Listen to me, don’t you feel like you’re missing a part of your memory? Like you’ve encountered a ghost?” Wes hurriedly explained, “Think about it, today is already the 19th, what date is it in your memory?”
“Today is the 19th?” Sofia was also shocked, her mouth slightly agape, and she forgot to cry. She searched herself and found that she didn’t have her cellphone on her, and at some point, she had changed into a mature evening gown.
“Who… who helped me change my clothes?” When Sofia asked this, she nervously clutched the hem of her gown, glancing at William, then at Wes. ．
It couldn’t have been these two who helped her change, could it?!
Wes shot her a look and said, “You changed yourself!”
“How do I have no recollection of that?” Sofia also realized that something was amiss.
Her memory was clearly still stuck on the morning of the 15th, but now someone was telling her it was the 19th.
What had happened in those intervening days?
Had she really encountered a ghost?
“I’ll show you a video, and you’ll understand.” Wes took out his phone, opened an app, and actually started playing a video from the Melodic Harmony Piano House.
Even William was stunned; he had never expected that Wes had recorded everything that happened inside the piano store.
Fortunately, although his acting was somewhat clumsy, it probably wasn’t bad enough to give him away.
From the video, it was clear that after Wes and Bryant walked into the Melodic Harmony Piano House, Sofia was already wearing that dazzling evening gown, looking enchanting.
After Wes explained to Sofia that he was an agent from the 13th Bureau and wanted to talk to her, she asked them to listen to a piece of music before discussing further. After that, she only played the violin a few times, and Wes and the others were immobilized.
When they listened to the piece in the video, they did not enter any illusion, because Sofia’s violin sound did not possess enchanting qualities without the empowerment of demonic forces.
Sofia watched the video on the phone, and the woman in it was clearly her, but it felt like it wasn’t.
She couldn’t produce that kind of music.
Using the sound of a violin to attack people, it seemed more like something out of a fantasy movie.
“Is… is that me?” Sofia was already frightened, looking down at the evening gown she was wearing.
The gown, in terms of craftsmanship and fit, was very elegant, and the color combination was full of beauty, but it definitely wasn’t her dress.
Wes said, “You can consider it a supernatural event; you were… possessed by a deity. We are now trying to communicate with that deity to ensure she doesn’t harm you, otherwise, you as you are now might cease to exist.”
He thought about it and chose to say she was possessed by a deity rather than a demon, as the former sounded less ominous and terrifying.
“A deity?” Sofia bit her lip and said, “But I don’t know… I don’t know what to do, how are you going to communicate with her? Can she hear us talking now?”
While Wes and Sofia were talking, William had already started communicating with the demon.
“Stop hiding, cooperate later, or I will have to obliterate you.” William didn’t speak out loud, his expression unchanged, but his words were clearly conveyed to the demon.
“Who are you? Was it you who suppressed me with psychic power back at the piano store?” The demon was somewhat panicked. She had the bloodline of a dragon and a nine-headed serpent and was a notorious figure in the Divine Realm as Seraphina Hydrae.
However, her territory had been invaded by an unbeatable enemy recently, and she had to risk entering the human world.
But in terms of the strength of her soul, there should be no match in this world.
Yet William had suppressed her without changing his expression earlier, which was quite terrifying.
“You don’t need to know who I am; you just need to know that I can obliterate you at any time.” William said, “Firstly, I am just an ordinary person now. Also, you can temporarily reside in this girl’s body, but you must not harm her, nor commit any unlawful acts, otherwise…”
As William finished speaking, Seraphina Hydrae already felt an invisible pressure coming.
She had seen a lot before, but the only one who could bring such immense pressure was probably the God-King in the Divine Realm.
How could she know that even the so-called God-King of the Divine Realm was nothing but an ant in front of William?
“I understand.” Seraphina Hydrae said, “Master, I will obey the laws and live in peace with this girl.”
William said he was just a mortal, but it was obviously a disguise; with such power, calling him Master was not a problem at all.
“Then greet this girl first, then have a good talk with me. I believe you know how to talk, right?”
“I know what to do.” At this moment, how could Seraphina Hydrae not agree? She was already regretting her rudeness when she first met William.
