The simplest version of the daemon paradigm suggests the modulated 2-6-keV range events in DAMA/NaI and DAMA/LIBRA detectors are caused by the iodine ions knocked out elastically by the electrically neutral c-daemons moving with V = 30-50 km/s (c-daemon is a complex of negative daemon located in a reminder of formerly captured nucleus where the daemon decomposes nucleons one by one with similar to 10(-6) s mean interval). Furthermore, after the 2-6 keV event occurred, in subsequent similar to 10(-6) s, the c-daemon (which becomes negative during this time) recaptures new nucleus with resulting scintillations in similar to 10 MeV range! The last possibility was so far overlooked in the experiments as it did not stem from WIMP hypotheses. A modification of the NaI(Tl) experiments is suggested for revealing the effect described. Independently of the outcome, any obtained result will be important for refining the daemon paradigm further on.
