Chapter 1012: The First Anomaly in History

“It’s getting thicker!”

After smelling the strange smell that suddenly became much stronger, Melanie couldn't help but hide back. She saw clearly that it was Leon's hand in front of her, and then said with a look of grievance:
"Brother! What did you touch with your hands? It smells terrible!"

"Uh... it's nothing, I just rubbed it."

After confirming that his guess was correct, Leon couldn't help but answer vaguely, then touched Melanie's head with his other hand, frowned and threatened:

"Brother, go wash your hands. You two should hurry up and do your homework! Otherwise, I will complain to your sister Anna!"

With the help of elder sister Anna’s pressure, he temporarily suppressed the two little devils who were ready to move. Looking at the younger brother and sister who opened their homework books reluctantly, Leon, who empathized with countless parents at this moment, couldn’t help but sigh:

"You should learn from Ellie! If you two can write a little bit every day like her, you won't have to... um... do your homework well! It's due the day after tomorrow, I'll bring your sister Anna to check it later!"

Realizing that he had actually said something like "other people's children", Leon's expression froze slightly. He quickly turned around and walked out of the two little ones' room, then leaned against the door panel with a feeling of exhaustion.

'No! Definitely not!'

At this moment, the tip of the black goat's horn suddenly squeezed out from the mirror world and pressed against Leon's fingers.

"I just thought about it, there is definitely something wrong with your sister!"

Need I tell you? I already found out!
After hearing what the black goat said, Leon couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Apart from anything else, how could Melanie be an ordinary child when she could fight with William, her eldest brother, on equal terms, and even when it was usually she who dragged William into trouble and only occasionally suffered a little loss at the hands of William?

Unaware that Leon was complaining about himself in his heart, the black goat couldn't help but analyze while humming, thinking back to that little...cute one who could smell the "smell of the devil":

"Your sister is too young and has little experience in abnormalities. She can't tell the difference between soul perception and physical perception. She thought she smelled it with her nose, but in fact she felt it with her soul."

'Um. ’

Leon, who had also thought of this, nodded slightly and replied with a sullen look:
"But I checked Melanie's soul and found no special fluctuations or properties. Apart from her special preference for money, everything else is normal and there doesn't seem to be any problem."

'But this is the biggest anomaly! '

Seeing that Leon seemed to be trying to escape, Black Goat couldn't help but remind him:

"It would be fine if she couldn't sense me, but she was clearly much weaker than me in spirit, yet she could not only sense me clearly, but she could even smell the essence of my power with just two sniffs. This is definitely a big problem!"

'...'

'Also, I don't think your sister just loves money.'

Facing Leon's silence, the black goat turned his head to look at the two children's room, and then tried to continue analyzing:
'The essence of that little...cute soul may be closer to the essence of demons, and it is not ordinary stuff like "greed" or "stinginess", but more like "greed" and "obsession" that are close to the origin.'

"Greed and obsession?" "Just like a demon, you will pursue and try to possess what you lack."

After trying hard to organize his words, the black goat said uncertainly:
'Let's analyze it. You and your older sister both spoil your children, but in different ways. So your sister is not lacking in love, but she has been short of money since she was a child, and even developed a certain "obsession".

Her obsession with money, coupled with her lustful soul, made her desire money and wealth. But in fact, she didn't want money. She just instinctively used this method to make up for her soul's desire to complete herself... You should understand what I'm talking about, right? '

'...'

I see……

After hearing the black goat's question, Leon couldn't help but take a deep breath and felt a slight pain in his head.

Having stayed with the black goat for such a long time, "supplying" it with all kinds of original sins every moment, I have already understood the nature of the devil very well. It can be said that "no one understands the devil better than me."

The seven original sins of mankind can basically all be classified as extensions of certain "desires" and "obsessions". These special creatures, born from "original sins" and corresponding to angels, are essentially at the opposite poles of the angels.

The angels before they went crazy represented dedication and sacrifice, sacrificing "I" from the inside out to complete others, while the demons represented greed and possession, using the "outside world" to complete the "self" from the outside in, which is Melanie's current situation.

And judging from the fact that she could "smell" the essence of the black goat with just one nose, her "purity" in this regard was probably even higher than that of the black goat. She had to be a demon god to start with, and a pillar god-level demon god who had mastered at least one original sin.

But the strange thing is that not only does she not have the power of a demon, but both her soul and body are completely ordinary human beings. In fact, except for a little greed, she has restrained other "original sins" very well, which is not very "devil"...

But she is definitely not an ordinary child, at least in terms of her "personality"!
When he thought of this, Leon couldn't help but raise his head and looked in the general direction of the [Watch Palace] in his memory.

At that time, Anna was induced by the Aquarius director and used the family portrait condensed by the Aquarius Palace's abnormal creation secret technique to bring three family members to herself in one go.

As a result, among the three family members she brought with her, one was from a mysterious race that could see the source directly, one was a time traveler with a badge plug-in, and even the weakest Melanie was suspected to be a certain original sin demon.

This is obviously beyond the scope! This is not abnormal!
Also, although Melanie's situation is still uncertain, both myself and William estimate that the upper limit is higher than that of the Watchtower Palace. Although the creator of this anomaly is Anna, it can also be regarded as the creation of Director Aquarius.

I remember that Director Aquarius' greatest wish in his life was to reach the limit of the secret art of anomaly creation and create anomalies that surpassed the Watch Palace. The self he created was larger than the Watch Palace, which meant that the photo was larger than the Watch Palace, which meant... Aquarius had actually succeeded?

Thinking of the Aquarius director who went straight to the sky in order to realize his dream of surpassing the Watchtower Palace, Leon couldn't help but smack his lips.

This is really... If Aquarius knew that he had already fulfilled his dream and that all his subsequent efforts were in vain, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would jump down from the Watchtower Palace...

"elder brother?"

After hearing the door of the inner room open, Anna took a moment to turn her head and saw Leon who was wondering about Melanie's "life experience".

Seeing Leon's strange expression of worry, helplessness, confusion and sighing, Anna, who was processing cod in the kitchen, couldn't help but wipe her hands on her apron, and then came over with a puzzled look and asked:
"What's wrong with you? Is it so difficult to help them with their homework?"
