Chapter 30 Believe in me
================
A dangerous and cold atmosphere spread in the wooden house, and the fire in the fireplace stagnated for a moment and then dimmed.
In the corner, the shadow was about to move, as if it wanted to drag the black-haired boy directly into the embrace of the abyss.
Lin Qiao felt that the word "Danger" on the top of her head lit up again, which attracted extra attention.
He stole a glance at Arthur.
The red-haired young man sat in the shadows, lowered the corners of his eyes, and remained silent.
He looked calm, but his fingers were bent, his veins popped out from too much force, obviously annoyed.
"Jojo." He spoke slowly, clearly and firmly, "You don't like me anymore."
Lin Qiao had a headache.
Why did it get involved in liking it or not?
This topic was too dangerous, Lin Qiao couldn't admit it no matter what, so he started to explain: "I don't dislike you."
Arthur: "Then why not go to the abyss?"
Lin Qiao: "Because I don't like the abyss."
Arthur: "The abyss is me, and Jojo doesn't like me."
Lin Qiao: ...
Well, it went back to the origin again.
Lin Qiao and Arthur stared wide-eyed and couldn't even speak for a while.
Arthur was still Arthur.
Ignorant and stubborn, with their own set of logical understandings, once a certain fact is confirmed, they cannot be persuaded.
The fireplace was still crackling and sparks were flying out.
Lin Qiao thought about what happened and came up with a countermeasure.
When dealing with Arthur, you still can't do it the other way around, you have to coax him along.
But also defeat him in his logic.
In a nutshell - let's fool around first.
Lin Qiao has a general direction, and he is not so frightened anymore.He blinked, took the initiative to attack, and said, "Arthur, you don't like me anymore."
A look of confusion flashed across Arthur's face: "I don't dislike Jojo."
He tried hard to prove it, but because of his limited vocabulary, he couldn't express what was in his heart for a while, so his pupils constricted in anxiety, and a ray of golden light appeared.
In the end, he could only yell helplessly and aggrievedly: "Jojo..."
Lin Qiao felt relieved when he saw Arthur's gaze.
Fortunately, as easy to cheat as ever.
Lin Qiao started to perform.
He looked hurt: "If you liked me, you wouldn't lie to me."
Arthur was at a loss: "I didn't lie to you..."
Lin Qiao raised her voice and asked, "Then why didn't you tell me from the beginning that you are the Lord of the Abyss?"
Relatively speaking, Arthur's voice lowered: "Jojo didn't ask."
Of course Lin Qiao knew that it was not Arthur's fault.
But what he has to do now is to catch a small mistake made by others, and then keep amplifying it, so that he can occupy a favorable position.
He said, "Then you've been watching me frightened, don't you think it's funny?"
Arthur: "I..."
Lin Qiao: "I'm so scared that I can't sleep every night. You clearly know that I'm afraid of being caught and going back to the abyss, but you dare not tell me the truth..."
Arthur: "I didn't..."
Lin Qiao made a gesture of "I don't listen, I don't listen", and turned her head to ignore Arthur.
He deliberately sniffed and squeezed out two tears.
Waited a moment.
Lin Qiao heard a rustling sound behind her.
Arthur came over and half-kneeled in front of him.He raised his head and stretched out his hand tentatively.His fingers touched the white and soft cheek and a round crystal teardrop.
Tears are slightly hot.
It made his fingers tremble.
"Jojo, you are crying."
Lin Qiao turned his face away, and said harshly: "It's none of your business."
There were still tears on Arthur's fingertips. After staring for a moment, he slowly moved to his lips and licked it.
is salty.
Still a little numb.
In his memory, only pain is this taste.
Jojo...does he feel pain because of him?
After realizing this, Arthur felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
He spoke with difficulty: "...I'm sorry."
Arthur wanted to touch Lin Qiao, but when he was about to touch it, he didn't dare to approach him, for fear of hurting his Qiao Qiao again.
Lin Qiao didn't expect Arthur to admit his mistake so quickly, and his expression was a little unnatural: "...I can't blame you entirely."
"It was my fault." He said seriously, "I'm sorry."
The speed of admitting his mistakes was too fast, and his attitude was too sincere, causing Lin Qiao to not know what to say all at once.
In the silence, there was the sound of snow falling outside the window.
Arthur compromised: "Jojo doesn't want to go to the abyss, so he won't go."
Lin Qiao said "hmm" in a nasal voice.
Arthur stretched out his hand towards Lin Qiao.
His palm is broad, with well-defined knuckles and rough finger pads.
Lin Qiao hesitated for a moment, and put his hand on it.
As soon as his hands touched, Arthur quietly clenched them tightly, for fear that if he let go, he would lose him.
Lin Qiao suddenly felt a little guilty.
Regardless of whether Arthur is a demon or the lord of the abyss, this is the first time he has come to the outside world, and there are many things he does not understand.
Isn't it a little... not good to lie to him like this?
Turning his thoughts around, he heard Arthur speak again: "I'm sorry, I thought that the devil and the lord of the abyss are the same."
This is what Arthur can't understand.
Since Qiao Qiao can accept that he is a demon, why can't he accept that he is the Lord of the Abyss?
Lin Qiao: "..."
How can this be the same?
The devil and the Lord of the Abyss are not the same species at all, okay?
In the abyss, demons can be seen everywhere, of all kinds.The good-looking ones, the scary-looking ones... the ones with green shoots and fangs, and the ugly ones will definitely run away when they see them. Arthur is so good-looking, of course he can accept it.
But the Lord of the Abyss is different.
That was the big villain in the original book, who wanted to destroy the world. At the end of the plot, he was wiped out by the protagonist.
Thinking of this, Lin Qiao deliberately glanced at Arthur.
Arthur: "Huh?"
Lin Qiao: "Do you want to destroy the world?"
Arthur didn't understand why Lin Qiao suddenly asked this question, and blinked in confusion: "Ah?"
Lin Qiao: "Don't you want to?"
Arthur: "No."
Lin Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
It's best if you don't want to.
Arthur looked very powerful, even the God of Knowledge was no match for him.But don't forget that there is a thing called "plot killing", that is, whoever dies after the plot is arranged must die.
Even the Lord of the Abyss cannot resist the power of the plot.
Arthur tilted his head, feeling that Jojo was hiding a secret he didn't know: "Why do you ask this?"
Lin Qiao: "It's nothing, just ask..."
The main reason is that the previous speech was too dangerous.
Wherever he likes which god lives, he will kill that god.
Is this how normal people think?
Oh... forgot, Arthur is not a man, but a demon.
It's normal to have this kind of thinking.
Lin Qiao reiterated again: "Anyway, just don't think about destroying the world!"
Arthur had no objection: "Listen to Jojo."
Destroy the world?
If it was before, maybe this idea came into being.
The war of faith has lasted for thousands of years on this continent. In order to win the faith, the gods will do everything.
In their view, human believers are one-time consumables, no matter how many people die, they will not feel a pity.
As long as the beliefs of the mainland can be unified, it doesn't matter how many people die.
Against this background, the continent is full of pain and despair.
Demons feed on pain and despair, drawing their strength from it.
But... Arthur didn't like this feeling.
As time went by, the stronger his power became, the more he could deeply feel the torture and wailing of each dead person before they died.
This made him suffer so much that only deep sleep could temporarily escape him.
If it wasn't for Qiao Qiao's arrival, even a god would go crazy in this endless pain.Wanting to destroy this dirty and filthy world has become a matter of course.
But now Jojo is here.
If the world is destroyed, Jojo will disappear too.
Of course he wouldn't.
Arthur whispered again: "Jojo..."
He raised his head, his pupils clearly reflected the appearance of the black-haired boy, he looked like a well-behaved puppy waiting for praise.
If there is a tail, the tail should be wagging cheerfully.
Lin Qiao gently touched Arthur's forehead with the other hand: "Good boy."
So Arthur was content.
He tried hard to do something to please Lin Qiao, so he picked up the freshly roasted chestnuts and asked, "Qiao Qiao, do you want more?"
Lin Qiao shook his head: "No need."
So visible to the naked eye, Arthur's expression lost.
Lin Qiao felt that the familiar Arthur had returned.
He picked up a chestnut, stuffed it into Arthur's mouth, and smiled slightly: "Don't be so careful, we are still the same as before, okay?"
Arthur nodded.
Lin Qiao stood up: "Let's leave here first..." He turned his head and asked, "By the way, how did you get here?"
"Did you use teleportation magic?"
Arthur: "It's not teleportation magic, it's darkness."
Where there is light, there is darkness.
And as part of being the Lord of the Abyss, one can naturally travel through the darkness.As long as there is a shadow, he can reach it.
Lin Qiao understood immediately: "Then can you take me with you?"
Arthur: "No."
Lin Qiao: "Why can't it work?"
Arthur said succinctly: "You can't bear it."
The darkness was cold and ominous, filled with dead silence.
Qiao Qiao has not yet fully accepted the favor of the abyss, unable to withstand the erosion of darkness.
Arthur: "Only if you believe in the abyss."
Lin Qiao: "..." he asked, "Do you think there is anything wrong?"
Arthur: "?"
Lin Qiao always felt that this was a strange thing to say.
In the past, he thought that Arthur was a believer of the Lord of the Abyss. As a believer, it is normal to spread teachings, and it is also normal to seize and persuade people to believe in religion.
Unexpectedly, Arthur was not a believer, but a god himself.Then... this is a kind of self-promotional feeling.
Lin Qiao thought for a while, and found a reasonable description - it's like the boss pretending to be a fan and ended up tearing it apart.
It cannot be said that this kind of behavior is wrong, there is always something wrong.
Lin Qiao began to educate: "How can you sell yourself?"
And the marketing method is too low-level.
There is nothing at the beginning, all rely on one mouth to speak.
In comparison, the Abyssal God Sect is better than this god.At least they still know the most basic operations, making cakes for others.
Whether it can be realized or not, at least the pie is big and round.
Arthur didn't know what "sell" meant, but he could guess what it was from the tone of his voice.
He asked: "Can't you?"
Lin Qiao: "This is too ungodly."
Arthur is parrot-like, imitating: "What do you mean by force?"
Lin Qiao: "...it's not important." He persuasively said, "The important thing is that if you want others to believe in you, you have to use other methods. It's useless to just say that."
Arthur: "What method?"
Lin Qiao: "For example—benefits, you have to let others know that if you believe in you, you can get benefits."
Arthur listened carefully, as if he had listened.
Lin Qiao: "Have you learned it?"
Arthur nodded hesitantly: "Then...Jojo, you believe in me, I..." He stumbled, "I will treat you well."
The red-haired young man's eyes were sincere and serious. When he looked at Lin Qiao, it seemed that this was his whole world.
"Jojo, are you okay?"
Lin Qiao silently stretched out his hands to cover his face.
Don't break the rules, okay?
Arthur: "Jojo?"
Lin Qiao said that this really cannot be forced.
No matter how foul he was, he was an atheist, and he couldn't believe in a god.Moreover……
"You are kind to me, that's not a good thing."
Arthur: "Doesn't it count?"
Lin Qiao said confidently: "You should have been nice to me."
Arthur was dazed again.
Lin Qiao took this opportunity to instill some knowledge: "Also, the relationship between the two of us can't be regarded as believers and gods, but..."
Arthur: "What?"
Lin Qiao made a decision: "We are in love."
For Arthur, "love" is an unfamiliar word.
He's never touched it, but it sounds like it's not bad.
When he heard the word "love", he thought of green and fragrant apples on the branches, butter slowly melting in the oven, and honey granulated sugar poured on top of the cake...
Should be sweet.
It should be sticky.
Arthur was not sure: "What is it like to be in love?"
Lin Qiao: "Dating love means that we can be gods to each other."
For Arthur, this is another knowledge blind spot.
Gods are gods, and people are people.
How can we worship each other as gods?
Lin Qiao flickered: "We can become each other's belief."
So, don't keep thinking about taking him back to that ghostly place in the abyss.
Arthur: "Is that so?"
Lin Qiao affirmed: "That's right."
Arthur looked at Lin Qiao steadfastly, and a new idea took root in his heart. Although it was not obvious now, sooner or later, gorgeous flowers and sweet fruits would bloom.
Lin Qiao: "So I won't believe in you. If that's the case, do you still want to fall in love with me?"
Arthur nodded solemnly: "OK."
Lin Qiao: "By the way, there is one more important thing."
Arthur: "?"
Lin Qiao: "Do you have a tail?"
Arthur: "...I didn't."
Lin Qiao glanced behind Arthur, and sure enough there was no tail.
Arthur held back for a long time, and said: "The main body has it."
Lin Qiao: "Then can I touch it?"
Arthur's eyes flickered, and his cheeks flushed slightly.
In their demonic worldview, touching the tail is tantamount to asking for copulation.
No one dared to ask the gods so bluntly.
But if it's JoJo... yes.
Arthur nodded.
Lin Qiao felt that the two sides had reached a consensus, and with a crooked smile, he took the initiative to hold Arthur's hand: "Then let's go."
Arthur: "Where are you going?"
This really asked Lin Qiao.
Originally, his goal all along was to solve the Lord of the Abyss, but now he suddenly found that the Lord of the Abyss was by his side.
Isn't this embarrassing?
Lin Qiao touched the tip of his nose and said vaguely, "Let's go out first."
……
at the same time.
somewhere in the void.
The glory descends, and the clouds and mist surge.
In the four directions of southeast, north and south, a ray of light emerged respectively.
On the east side is a book, on the south side is a ray of holy light, on the west side a moon hangs high, and on the north side is a wheat ear.
From east to west, they are the God of Knowledge, the God of Light, the Goddess of the Moon and the Goddess of Harvest.
First, the moon swayed slightly, exuding a deserted brilliance, and a woman's soft voice came from it: "If I remember correctly, we haven't seen each other for 500 years."
The goddess of abundance also echoed with a smile: "The last time we met was because of the battle of faith. The God of Light took away many of my fertile territories."
The God of Light snorted coldly, but did not answer.
The God of Knowledge said solemnly: "This meeting is not for quarreling and bickering. I have something important to announce."
The Goddess of Plenty giggled, "Could it be that you're about to publish a new book?"
God of Knowledge: "..."
Goddess of Plenty: "The important thing is that you want to recommend new books? Don't worry, we won't let your books circulate in the faith field."
God of Knowledge: "...No!"
The Goddess of Plenty wanted to say something to brighten the atmosphere, but the God of Light suddenly said, "Let Him speak first."
The Goddess of Abundance stopped her mouth and her smile became cold: "Say it soon."
The God of Knowledge said slowly and calmly: "The Lord of the Abyss...he has come out."
The voice fell, and there was a dead silence in the cloud.
Goddess of Plenty: "What did you say...?"
The goddess of the moon said softly: "The moon told me that the confinement of the abyss has not changed. Could it be that your induction is wrong?"
God of Knowledge: "No...impossible to be wrong."
He shared the pictures in his memory.
The black-haired boy on the Temple of Heaven.
The black mist surging around, and the figure walking out of the black mist.
This scene is short, but the gods take it very seriously.
The goddess of abundance said in amazement: "It's the black-haired boy! The black-haired boy in the language! It's unbelievable that He actually fell in love with this human being..."
Moon Goddess: "Love always has a kind of magic, doesn't it?"
Compared to the excitement of these gods, the God of Light seemed very calm: "It's him."
God of Knowledge: "Because of the prophecy, I caught this black-haired boy and made him my believer. But I didn't expect that just when he was about to succeed, He appeared."
"He left the abyss for this black-haired boy and destroyed everything."
Goddess of Fertility: "He fell in love with this boy—just as the prophecy said."
The God of Knowledge: "Okay, I didn't ask you to come here to lament the truth of the prophecy, so think about what to do!"
Quiet for a moment.
The Moon Goddess said, "I have an opinion."
"Since the prophecy has happened, He is destined to fall in love with a human being, why don't we arrange a black-haired boy for Him?"
The Moon Goddess looked at the God of Light: "Light, what do you think?"
The God of Light didn't say yes or no, he just said, "Interesting idea."
The God of Knowledge thought for a while, then nodded: "I think it's okay."
Goddess of Plenty: "I agree too."
Passed unanimously.
So here comes the question, where can I find such a black-haired boy?Also, what should I do with the original black-haired boy?
The Goddess of the Moon smiled slightly: "You have forgotten that love...is my priesthood. If He is not tempted, I naturally have nothing to do, but He already has feelings. I just need to pluck the heartstrings a little, and I can change this feeling." transferred to someone else."
The Goddess of Plenty: "I will create a new black-haired boy."—His vocation is to conceive and reproduce.
The God of Knowledge: "I will instill a certain amount of knowledge in him, he will know everything, and he will be born knowing how to manipulate people's hearts and gain the favor of others."
Now only the God of Light is left.
Under the watchful eyes of other gods, the God of Light said, "I will give him a halo of holiness and innocence."
then.
A flawless brunette teenager was born.
He opened his black and white eyes, like tender buds that have been born, lovely and pitiful.
"Go, child." The goddess of the moon sprinkled a ray of moonlight, "Go close to him and win his heart."
The boy nodded meekly, and walked into the world slowly.
……
Because he didn't believe in the abyss, Lin Qiao couldn't rely on the power of darkness to leave here.
So, after the blizzard subsided, he and Arthur left the cabin and planned to hike outside the snow mountain.
The snow is thick.
Halfway through, Lin Qiao was tired.
He stood resting under the cedar, and asked, "Don't you know other magic? Like wind element, or space magic?"
Arthur's answer was simple: "No."
Lin Qiao murmured: "You are a god, so you can't?"
Arthur: "..."
Lin Qiao: "How can I remember that someone told me that God is omnipotent?"
Arthur fell silent.
Lin Qiao joked: "That's it?"
To be honest, after knowing that Arthur is the Lord of the Abyss, it is impossible to say that he is not afraid, after all, this is the villain in the original book.
But now, after thinking of the stupid things Arthur did, the villain's evil filter was shattered at once.
False villain: secretly thinking about doing bad things, preparing to destroy the world.
The real villain: Disguising himself as a demon, tricking innocent human teenagers into believing in Him—and failing to trick him, he even got himself into it.
Lin Qiao was overjoyed and couldn't hide his smile.
Arthur knew that Jojo was laughing at him, but he couldn't get angry.
He just stared blankly.
Lin Qiao's eyes were full of luster: "Why, do you look stupid?"
Arthur said seriously: "Jojo, it looks good."
Lin Qiao originally wanted to tease Arthur, but he was embarrassed by this sentence instead.He changed the subject: "Is there someone in front?"
Arthur looked in the direction pointed.
The darkness surged silently, taking in everything around it.
"There is one," he said.
Passing through the cedar forest, the snow in front is not so thick, and some greenery can be vaguely seen.
After Lin Qiao walked a certain distance, he saw a young man standing on the hillside herding sheep.
The young man was very handsome, even if he was dressed in shabby clothes, it could not cover his fair skin and beautiful facial features.
He was tending the sheep, and the soft, white lambs were lying around like clouds.
At the first glance, Lin Qiao felt that this young man looked familiar, but when he got closer, he realized where the familiarity came from.
It turned out that this boy also had black hair and black eyes.
In this world, black hair and black eyes can be said to be a minority, and everyone thinks that "black" represents ominousness and death.
I am used to seeing colorful hair and eyes, but when I suddenly saw the boy with black hair and black eyes, Lin Qiao immediately felt a good impression.
He walked over and greeted the boy.
The shepherd boy looked over, his eyes were black and white, without any extra impurities.
He had probably never seen a stranger before, and he backed away in panic.
Lin Qiao stopped quickly, kept a distance, and explained: "We are not bad people..."
The shepherd boy was skeptical.
The lambs uttered a "bleat" cry and gathered around him.
He is shy and afraid, like a little lamb offered to the gods.
Lin Qiao lowered his voice: "We came from the snow mountain and want to go out, do you know the way out?"
The shepherd boy's eyes flickered slightly, and his eyes swept over Lin Qiao's shoulders, and finally fell on Arthur.
"I know." His voice was clear, like melting snow, "Come with me."
Lin Qiao followed.
The shepherd boy walked in front, and the sheep followed him.
Clear and clear blue sky.
Grass covered with a thin layer of snow.
The flock, and the boys.
This scene is like an oil painting.
Lin Qiao said in a low voice: "He looks really good-looking. What do you think?"
Arthur's answer was quick: "I didn't read it."
Lin Qiao: "...?"
