Arno was stunned, this story of sacrifice and of demon was quite simply astonishing, if, in spite of everything, a part of him believed in this version probably because of the demonstration of Maria, a little earlier, his instinct, rejected in block this story. Maria was lying, Erica could not have sold her soul to the devil, she would never have killed, she was so kind, so sweet... For him, it was simply inconceivable.

After taking Maria's leave, he walked for a long time in the streets, turning the problem upside down, trying to find a more rational explanation. Using his cell phone, he had run a search to see if anyone was talking about the massacre that took place the day Erica was supposed to have made a deal with the devil. And there, to his surprise, a newspaper article of the time appeared on his screen. A massacre suspected of being linked to a satanic sect. The pieces of the puzzle fit together too well to be a mere coincidence.
