after being offered to the devil

Chapter 3 God is omnipotent

======================

It may be that the gods heard Lin Qiao's prayer, and after rounding a corner, a half-closed small door appeared not far away.

With such a small door, the Flaming Demon would definitely not be able to get in.

Lin Qiao's thought flashed through, and he took a quicker step, opened the door and got in.

boom!

The moment the door closed, the Flame Yamo just bumped into it, and the door panel shook violently, causing Lin Qiao's back to go numb.

Fortunately, the door panel was hard enough, and it still remained motionless under the impact of the flame demon.

Unable to push the door open, the flame demon was helpless and furious outside. He kept knocking on the door with his fists, making howling ghosts and wolves.

Flame Demon: I know you are inside, you come out!

Lin Qiao: I won't come out!

Lin Qiao is not stupid.

What are you doing out there?Is it a big move to let the flame demon perform a buffet?

Lin Qiao breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the flame demon could not enter.

As a modern person who lacks exercise, the chase just now almost killed Lin Qiao.

Being able to persist until now is all supported by one breath, and now that the breath is relieved, I naturally feel tired.

He leaned against the door and slowly slid to sit on the ground.

The Flaming Demon was still roaring outside, unwilling to let go.

Lin Qiao said lazily: "Brother, it's almost over, stop making trouble."

Flame demon: "Roar——"

Lin Qiao was in a good mood after narrowly escaped death, and started to owe again: "Let me tell you, even if I deliver food to your door, I still give it to the Lord of the Abyss. It's immoral to grab someone else's food."

Flame demon: "Hoho—"

The more Lin Qiao talked, the more he felt happy: "Come on, I'm the sacrifice of the Lord of the Abyss. If you want to grab it, don't you want to see if I'm worthy..."

Flame Demon: "Ho Ho Ho!"

……

After a question and an answer, the voice clearly entered the night.

It was strange to say this, probably because He had been in a deep sleep for too long, and the words in the sacrifice's mouth were a bit unfamiliar, but the general meaning was still understandable.

It turned out that this daring sacrifice was not without awe, at least he knew his identity - he was a sacrifice belonging to the Lord of the Abyss.

He was inexplicably pleased.

But the sacrificial offering is right, he came to the abyss to serve the Lord of the abyss, so what's the matter with being coveted by a lowly and despicable flame demon?

This offends the dignity of the gods.

——He completely forgot that he wanted to convince Lin Qiao to admit his mistake, so he put the Flaming Demon in.

... none of this matters anymore.

In the corner of the castle, black mist surged.

The Flaming Demon sensed the anger of the gods, and couldn't even bring up the thought of fleeing and rebelling, lying on the ground trembling, whimpering and begging for mercy.

He glanced over indifferently.

As if a bit of dirt had been "erased", the flame demon just disappeared into the corridor without leaving a trace.

He withdrew his gaze and looked again at the place where the sacrifice was.

in a small room.

The sacrifice was obviously exhausted, and he leaned his head sideways against the wall to rest.

He sat there quietly, the arc of his jaw was crisp and sharp, rising and falling with his breath, like a dying swan.

His gaze narrowed slightly.

Very strange.

He actually wanted to get close to...a human?

This thought was like a stone falling into the lake, causing ripples that could not subside for a long time.

Why would He be interested in a godless man?

It must be because of sleeping for too long that such boring thoughts arise.

But... He didn't want to suppress his desire.

Anyway, for the gods, time is like water in the ocean, with no end to be seen at a glance.

He could waste a little on this human being.

Thinking of this, there was a "crash" sound in the dark night, as if the chain was pulled.

The night was slowly opened.

A slender figure walked out slowly from it—this was the incarnation of desire-desire produced by the god at that moment.

The figure is between a teenager and a young man, both young and mature.

He has dark red hair with curly ends, as lush as seaweed.

A strand of hair hangs from the forehead, deep eyes, and a straight nose, like a statue carefully carved by Venus, enough for a bard to write sonnets to sing praises.

He came in front of Lin Qiao, half knelt down, and looked at it seriously.

What to do with this impious sacrifice?

Is it silent and eternal death, or...

……

Lin Qiao closed his eyes and rested for a while, feeling groggy.

The abyss is cold, and the wind is blowing in through the windows.

He was only wearing a black robe, which was useless, shivering from the cold.Coupled with something on my mind, I really couldn't sleep well, so I didn't sleep at all.

Lin Qiao opened his eyelids, and met a pair of cold and indifferent eyes without any precaution.

His heart skipped a beat.

The scarlet moonlight shone through the window, and everything was foggy.

Lin Qiao maintained the posture of sitting on the ground, and stared at the red-haired boy who appeared here inexplicably for a moment.

He decided to take the initiative: "Hi?"

The red-haired boy lowered his head, his hair swaying slightly.

Lin Qiao sized him up and felt that the red-haired boy was pretty, but he always looked a little... dull.

It's like a bottle of delicate doll, beautiful is beautiful, without soul.

Lin Qiao: Could it be that you were scared to death?

He cautiously probed: "Who are you?"

The red-haired boy still didn't respond.

Lin Qiao: "Lord of the Abyss, do you know that?"

Hearing the words "Lord of the Abyss", the red-haired boy finally reacted, and let out a broken voice from his throat: "Mmm..."

That's it.

Lin Qiao was relieved.

It is known that there are only non-humanoid creatures in the abyss.

Then I realized that the boy in front of me was a human being.

Then you can get it - the boy is also a sacrifice sent to the Lord of the Abyss.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiao blurted out: "That's great!"

Humans are social creatures.

Being unlucky alone and being unlucky with someone is a completely different experience.

The red-haired boy: "...?"

Lin Qiao quickly explained: "No...I mean, what a coincidence, I'm also a sacrificial offering."——We are in the same group!

He made sure that the red-haired boy was not threatening, and stood up: "You..."

The voice stopped abruptly.

Lin Qiao's eyes fell on the red-haired boy's back.

Only then did he realize that there were chains wrapped around the red-haired boy's body.

The chain went around the shoulders, passed through the shoulder blades, and was stretched and tightened in a restrained posture, trapping the person in a small space.

His back is thin, his bones protrude like butterfly wings, and his neck hangs down, like Jesus who was tortured on the cross, sacred and not profane.

If Lin Qiao had read the official "Historical Records of the Gods", he would know that this was a very harsh punishment.

It is specially used for the kind of criminals who have committed heinous crimes.

As far as the setting of this world is concerned, the gods are merciful and merciful, and most of the mistakes committed can be redeemed with indulgences.

The only unforgivable crime is - killing gods.

But Lin Qiao is uneducated and has never read a book.

His eyes fell on the chain, and there was no movement for a long time.

The red-haired boy's face was calm, and his black and white eyes rolled slightly.

Seeing this scene, what will be your reaction...

Is it afraid?Or loathing, hatred?

After waiting for a while, Lin Qiao finally made a movement.He said: "How can they go so far!?"

It turned out to be... anger?

The red-haired boy lowered the corners of his eyes, with a rare look of bewilderment on his face.

He is actually angry?

What is he angry about?

Lin Qiao began to point and point: "Why did they hang you up? It's too much! Who did it?"

Probably because he hasn't talked to others for too long, the red-haired boy's voice is hoarse and jerky, and he pauses every time he says a word: "It's...God..."

Lin Qiao understood in seconds.

It must be those cultists who did it!

God damn it!

Are they afraid that the lord of the abyss is a picky eater, so a plate of snacks is not enough, and some appetizers are for appetizers, right?

Hanging up such a beautiful red-haired boy as bacon is really devoid of conscience!

Because of too much emotion, Lin Qiao's eyes were filled with moisture: "Are you in pain? Are you uncomfortable?"

The red-haired boy crashed.

The crow-feather eyelashes fluttered, and he was at a loss - he had never encountered such a situation.

Lin Qiao was still thinking incessantly: "These gods are really not good things, how could they be so harmful..."

The chains wrapped around the boy's shoulders and bound his wrists, and some of them even passed through the flesh. The mottled bloodstains were old, and one could still see the bloody appearance at that time.

It was obviously a sharp pain, but the young man had a cold and indifferent face, obviously he was used to it long ago.

Lin Qiao fell in love immediately: "I'll let you down."

He wanted to put the red-haired boy down, but he didn't know where to start.

The red-haired boy reacted now, and said uncertainly, "Let, I... get down, come?"

Lin Qiao asked back, "Why don't we hang on like this?"

Lin Qiao thought the red-haired boy was strange.

He's going to be served as bacon on the Lord of the Abyss' dinner plate, and if he can ask such a question, wouldn't he be out of his wits?

The red-haired boy said intermittently: "Let, I, come..." His eyes were as deep as an abyss, "You will, regret it..."

Lin Qiao didn't take it seriously: "What is there to regret?"

Red-haired boy: "The gods... will be angry..."

Lin Qiao became more and more affectionate.

Poor see.

They were all scared like this by the Lord of the Abyss.Would rather be hung up than come down.

Lin Qiao has already stamped the boy as "scared and stupid", how can he get used to it?He stepped forward and grabbed the chain to pull it down.

wow-

These chains seem to be integrated, and there is no gap in the link.

Lin Qiao went around to the back, tugging here and there.

He was still afraid that the red-haired boy would be in pain, so he tried to divert his attention and asked, "By the way, what's your name?"

The red-haired boy was taken aback.

This sacrifice is really strange.

He didn't believe in gods, he didn't have any fear, he wasn't afraid of his appearance, and even... asked his name.

He is an unknown, cursed being.

Light detours around him, virtue ignores him... all that is left to him is endless darkness and death.

Even those believers are only afraid of the ability of death, and have never been sincerely in awe.

Because he hadn't mentioned it for so long, he had almost forgotten the name.

Lin Qiao waited for a long time, but did not get an answer.

So I became more certain: maybe I was really scared and stupid.

He took the initiative to introduce himself: "Lin Qiao, this is my name."

Perhaps for people in this world, the pronunciation of Chinese is too awkward, and the young man struggled to speak: "Joe, Qiaoqiao..."

Lin Qiao didn't correct her: "Yeah." He encouraged, "Do you still remember your name?"

"……Remember."

The boy hesitated for a moment, his lips moved, and he spit out a series of obscure words, "...this is my name."

Every syllable fell, the blood moon light outside the window became more and more intense, until it changed from a crescent moon to a full moon.

It was as if someone from outside the sky had opened their scarlet eyes, watching everything in the abyss.

They are snooping.

They monitor.

Because this is not the name of a mortal, but... the name of a god.

Can't listen, can't look, can't read.

Once you recite this name silently in your heart, you will be discovered, polluted by the existence in the sky, until you go mad.

——While staring at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.

Lin Qiao said: I don't understand.

He only understood the first two words: "Arthur?"

The boy was strangely silent for a moment: "...um."

Lin Qiao lowered his head again to wrestle with the chain.

But the chain is really strong, not only has it not been untied, but a long and narrow wound has been cut on the finger.

Dark red blood beads emerged from the wound and dripped on the chain.

A dark light flashed across the chain, and instantly absorbed the blood beads, leaving only a mottled trace.

click-

The chain broke from it, and a piece of it fell to the ground.

Before Lin Qiao could react, Arthur broke free from control and reached out to grab his wrist.

"You..." Lin Qiao felt weird and wanted to withdraw his hand.

But Arthur's phalanx was so strong that he couldn't shake it off at all.

Arthur looked at the bright red wound, slowly approached it, tentatively stuck out his tongue, and licked the wound.

He lowered his eyelids, with a solemn expression. It was obviously a puppy licking movement, but it looked extremely solemn and sacred.

... Lin Qiao is numb.

Like an electric shock, the wound on his finger was numb, which almost made him cry out.

"Enough, enough!" He stopped.

Arthur stopped moving.

Lin Qiao quickly put her hands behind her back, and taught earnestly, "Don't lick things!"

Arthur hesitated for a moment: "But, it smells so good..."

Lin Qiao: ...

Forget it, this person has a bad mind, he was frightened and stupid, and he couldn't have the same knowledge as him.

Lin Qiao: "It's not allowed, you have to listen to me."

Arthur lowered his head, looking aggrieved.

Lin Qiao's heart softened for a moment, and then he quickly became firm: "Okay, you listen to me, I will take you out of here."

Arthur didn't quite understand the meaning of these words, and asked repeatedly: "Leave... from here?"

Lin Qiao nodded.

He decides to run away with Arthur.

Arthur is so stupid and so stupid, if he stays here alone, he will definitely be eaten by the devil until there is not even a bone left.

It's okay if he didn't see it, he saw it all, how could he have the heart to let Arthur go to die?

Arthur asked: "Why, go out? Here, isn't it good?"

Lin Qiao: I can only say that the biggest disadvantage here is that there are no advantages.

Lin Qiao: "There are bad people here."

Arthur: "Bad guy...?"

Lin Qiao gestured: "Bad people are people who will hurt you." He gave an example, "Abyssal demons can eat people. If you see those with horns on their heads, run away. Those are bad people!"

Arthur: "..."

Lin Qiao: "Do you know?"

Arthur: "Well..." he said again, "As long as you believe in the Lord of the Abyss...they can't hurt you."

Lin Qiao: Brainwashed, right?

He didn't believe in the Lord of the Abyss, but he looked at Arthur and thought that this idiot must have been brainwashed by those cultists.

No.

He needs to have an anti-brainwashing.

So he asked: "Could it be that the Lord of the Abyss is omnipotent and can do everything?"

Arthur nodded: "Yes."

He stared straight at Lin Qiao.

This gaze can see through all falsehoods and point directly to the heart.

Everyone has desires in their hearts.Longing for money, power, life... No matter how well you hide, you can't escape these eyes.

As long as there is desire, there will be flaws.

Say it.

As long as you believe in the abyss, you can get the bestowal from the gods.

Lin Qiao thought for a moment: "Then can he make the world peaceful?"

In the setting of the original book, the mainland has been fighting a battle of faith, and he doesn't want to be cannon fodder.

Arthur: "...?"

Lin Qiao: "Can it be done?"
