Lingpingan closed the door and pulled the rolling shutter down again.
Then he looked up and looked at the time.
"It's almost half past eleven!" he said.
So, I took the water glass with the grasshopper in it and walked upstairs.
Just turn off the lights.
Crunch!
The sound from the wooden stairs is still permeable.
The grasshopper in the water glass trembled and curled up into a ball after hearing this sound.
At this time, Duke Ivey finally regained some strength.
But this not only did not improve his situation, but caused him to fall into deeper terror.
Each of His compound eyes saw clearly.
Inside this terrifying bookstore, countless evil eyes were staring at Him one by one.
They whispered, and the terrifying and ominous sound echoed in Duke Ivey's ears.
Listen to these sounds, these terrible taboo ominous sounds.
Then look at those evil eyes filled with hunger, thirst and evil intentions.
The Duke of Hell, Ivey, was so frightened that he almost lost his ability to think.
…
After putting on his slippers, Lingpingan put the water glass on the table.
Then he looked at the kitten who had been staring at the grasshopper in the cup.
Lingpingan touched the little cutie's head: "Little darling... Brother, go take a bath first!"
"When brother finishes taking a bath, I will roast grasshoppers for you!"
Meow!
Kitty Best barked and agreed.
So, Lingpingan put down her phone, found a change of clothes, walked into the bathroom, and turned on the bathroom heater and water heater.
There was the sound of rushing water in the bathroom.
…
Duke Ivey felt as if he was thrown into space by some terrible force, and then quickly fell into the earth.
His body was tumbling in the little plastic cup.
At this time, the disadvantage of having many eyes appeared.
Because, He found that no matter how he tossed and turned.
Always a pair of amber cat eyes, staring at Him!
The black kitten had tears streaming down her face.
Meow!
He called softly.
The pyramids are reflected behind Him.
Countless prayers and prayers filled my ears.
At this moment, Duke Ivey knew that most of the cat goddess's power and authority had returned.
He successfully anchored himself in the real world.
He can now use his authority and power arbitrarily.
The power of the cat goddess is to protect!
The guardian of the pyramid is also the guardian of the family.
As His divine power was rendered, the reflected pyramid became more solid.
The situations of countless Egyptian homes and pyramids flowed in that reflection.
The cat goddess stared at Him.
That's the hunter watching his prey!
It’s also the diners who are looking at the ingredients!
He can't wait!
Duke Ivey was trembling, and he was curled up, separated by the seemingly thin, but actually indestructible plastic cup.
"Please..." He begged.
"Please..."
"As long as you let me go...I am willing to live forever..."
But the cat goddess shook her head.
Evie was about to continue begging in a last ditch effort to survive.
Suddenly, he felt a trembling and fear coming from the depths of his soul.
As if a natural enemy was staring at him, his soul suddenly grabbed hold of him.
The Devil Duke's compound eyes saw a little blue flame falling on the coffee table.
The flames swayed, exuding a terrible and terrifying aura.
This is the breath of a superior.
It is also the breath of those who feed on higher beings and races!
In this recipe for flames, gods are also prominently listed!
But, this is just the beginning.
Evie curled up in the plastic cup. The inner wall of the plastic cup that once frightened him has now become his only safe support.
but…
This fragile sense of security was quickly shattered.
Because, the compound eyes in his abdomen saw a little emerald green shadow quietly emerging.
The ferocious mouthparts in the shadow roared, all conveying a message: I want to eat!
Ivey clearly felt that if he fell into his hands.
There will definitely be no scum left!
In this moment, the devil once fed on human fear and despair.
Finally realized the fear and despair.
And it’s three times more fear and despair!
The three monsters all wanted to eat Him.
And He...the once terrifying Devil Duke of Hell has become a piece of meat on a knife's edge.
This fact made Duke Ivey collapse!
Meow!
The little black cat meowed softly and stretched out its paws.
His paw pointed at Evie.
Then I drew a picture in the air, and then pointed the drawn part towards myself.
It's about four out of five.
The small flames swayed, and the blue light reflected on the ground.
Divided into three petals.
He gave the largest piece, about half of it, to the kitten.
Then, He allocated two-thirds of the remaining half to Himself!
Meow!
The little black cat firmly objects!
His claws drew a circle, and then he waved lightly.
He wants at least two-thirds!
Then he pushed, and the remaining part was pushed towards the small flame and the green shadow.
The meaning is obvious, I don’t care how you divide it, but I must eat so much!
This is the most basic!
And, this is the final condition!
Xiao Huo Miao looked at it and was stunned for a moment. The fire light swayed and seemed to agree.
Then His fire arose.
Taking away at least 80% of that third of the aperture!
He was only willing to give the green shadow some scraps!
There are plenty of reasons!
In the flickering firelight, the great will conveys an undeniable message.
You... don't... use... can... have... eat... just... not... wrong!
Wow!
A clear cry broke the tranquility of the living room.
In the green shadow, the appearance of a little girl slowly emerged.
Her pear blossoms were covered with rain, and tears flowed down in big drops.
The little face is as pretty as a peach blossom, and looks pitiful.
While crying, she raised her two small arms that seemed to be made of young leaves.
In the emerald green arms, a vague aura circulated.
It seems to be saying: I want to grow taller, I am hungry...
Ivey stared at all this blankly.
Seeing myself being treated like a commodity, like fish and meat, being slaughtered by others.
This scene is so familiar.
So much so that He used to do such things every day.
The souls of poor human beings were divided and devoured by Him at will.
Their begging and wailing are His favorite sounds.
Now…
Is it His turn to be divided and devoured
Under Ivey's watchful eye, the partition agreement was quickly reached.
The little girl fought for more rights with her howling.
Her share increased to about 20%.
Little Flame and Little Black Cat each gave away about 5% of their share.
Although I am still not satisfied, at least I am half full.
As a result, the small living room became quiet again!
…
After Lingpingan took a shower, he wiped his wet hair.
Then walked out.
He looked at Best, who had been squatting in front of the desk, staring at the grasshopper that was caught on the desk.
"Snack!" Lingpingan laughed.
He walked to the refrigerator and took out a mushroom.
Despite being refrigerated for two days, the mushrooms were still fresh.
Moreover, maybe because it has been stored for two days, its fragrance is even stronger!
Lingpingan picked up the mushroom, then picked up the cup, and said hello to Best: "Little darling, let's have a midnight snack!"
Meow!
The kitten immediately meowed happily.
He immediately followed his master.
Walking up to the third floor, Lingpingan opened the door, and the moonlight from outside immediately poured in.
The moonlight tonight is so beautiful!
Lingpingan turned on a light and took out the simple oven.
Then he took a lighter and lit the charcoal fire.
The flames slowly appeared and then burned.
He placed the barbecue at the foot of the wall and walked outside.
"Hey!" He suddenly squatted down in surprise and looked at the sapling in the plastic pot: "My little darling, you have grown a lot taller!"
The sapling in the plastic pot has grown from a little bud to a sapling more than an inch tall.
There are several more young leaves, and in the moonlight, the small peach tree is swaying gently.
Lingpingan reached out and touched its soft trunk.
The green and soft saplings swayed gently under his touch.
The breeze blew, and two tender leaves gently caressed Lingping's fingers.
"It seems that we can fertilize again another day!" Lingpingan said.
Meow!
The kitten meowed, seeming to agree.
"Little dear!" Lingpingan turned to look at the kitten, then looked at the grasshopper in the plastic cup: "Brother, let me roast the grasshopper for you first!"
A man is a man who means what he says.
Moreover, Best's performance today deserves encouragement!
It can comfort others, which shows that it is a caring kitten!
It should be rewarded!
Meow!
The kitten screamed excitedly and couldn't wait to lie down next to the stove.
Lingpingan blew on the stove to make the fire brighter!
Then he took the cup, poured out the grasshopper, and held it between his two fingers.
He held the grasshopper in front of his eyes and looked at it.
"So fat!" he praised.
In his eyes, the grasshopper is full of flesh.
It sure tastes delicious when grilled!
If it hadn't been promised to Best, he would have really wanted to eat it himself!
…
"Captain..." Situ He walked up to Li Shouyi, who was looking at the surveillance screen, and reported in a low voice: "We have brought him back..."
"This is the confession of the receiving team..."
Li Shouyi picked it up and looked through it.
These documents record everyone's respective experiences.
In the form of words, the attitude and tone of the bookstore owner are described and described from different angles.
Li Shouyi looked at it slowly, word by word, and compared it repeatedly.
"It seems..." he suddenly said: "The situation discussed by the think tanks is the same..."
"This bookstore owner is dealing with us in a way that's almost like an emperor's!"
He pointed to a description on the document and said to Situ He: "Look, Situ, he said: They are all poor people..."
"How could He not know that these people are extremely vicious cult leaders?"
"He knows!"
Definitely!
"Situ, look again, he went on to say: Doesn't the federal empire have special support policies and systems? I thought of you..."
"What do you mean by this?" Li Shouyi asked.
Situ He shook his head in confusion and said, "Please supervise me!"
"It's very simple!" Li Shouyi said, "The emperors in the past also liked to say this!"
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he remembered something from the past: "The late emperor was like this when he was still..."
He thought about it and couldn't help but said: "Tsundere!"
Situ He almost laughed when he heard this.
"Don't laugh!" Li Shouyi said seriously: "This is a very clever trick!"
"Emperors always have some things of one sort or another that are inconvenient for them to do themselves, let alone do directly..."
"So, we have to deliberately pretend to be confused..."
"You have to deliberately separate yourself from something!"
Li Shouyi looked at Situ He and asked, "Situ, have you heard that the Fusang royal family has the tradition of crane sound?"
Situ He nodded, of course he knew.
Fuso kings often say incomprehensible things for no apparent reason.
Let others guess, speculate, and then execute.
"The principles are similar!" Li Shouyi said, "It's just that this bookstore owner is not an emperor after all..."
"He doesn't need to be hidden like the emperors..."
"So, He simply made it clear!"
"His meaning is actually very simple!"
"You have done quite well recently..." Li Shouyi pursed his lips: "So, I will give these people to you as gifts!"
"But...how can I let you guess what I mean?"
"So..." Li Shouyi asked, "If this isn't tsundere, what is it?"
"Obviously even ordinary people know that those people are all monsters and strong men..."
"But he wants to tell us - these are poor people... "
"They asked us to take them in..."
"In this way, He himself avoided the possibility of giving random rewards, and on the other hand, He also saved our face..."
"But in fact, this is the reward!"
"It's obvious!" Li Shouyi looked at other contents in the report and said categorically: "Look, he captured the Duke of Hell Ivey in front of others with some incredible means. This is the best proof. !”
"This is also the best expression of tsundere!"
"This is for fear that we will not understand His intentions!"
Having said this, a smile slowly appeared on Li Shouyi's lips.
Proud
The federal empire is least afraid of tsundere.
Because Empire has rich experience!
Two thousand years of long feudal history!
One hundred years before the founding of the Federal Empire, three kings with different personalities but the same arrogance could provide a large amount of first-hand information and data.
At this moment, the bookstore owner appeared on the screen.
The drone that has been hovering in the sky clearly captured the figure of Him walking out of the door and onto the roof with His pet.
A fire was burning in a small stove.
Next to him, the twisted and deformed figure of the Duke of Hell was struggling in the cup.
"We will witness the complete fall of a Duke of Hell!" Li Shouyi said seriously. He thought for a while and added: "In the hands of an arrogant, mysterious and unknown being!"
"This is another proof of His arrogance!"
"He, knowing that we knew that He captured a Duke of Hell!"
"Knowing that our drones are watching!"
"He has come out to show us how He cooks and destroys a Duke of Hell!"
Li Shouyi leaned gently on the back of the chair.
Ever since the bookstore owner appeared, his long-strained nerves could finally relax.
because…
Dealing with tsunderes, dealing with tsunderes, the experience of the Federation Empire is unparalleled in the world!
"After returning to the Imperial Capital, I have to look through the notes of the previous ministers in charge!"
The founder of the Federal Empire abolished the eunuch system.
The system of female officers and chamberlains was introduced.
By the time of Taizong, the eunuchs left over from the previous dynasty were getting old and dying, and the profession of eunuchs had disappeared in the long river of history.
And the chief minister of the palace became the new favorite.
These people are all civil servants, and they have more colorful bodies than the ceremonial supervisors of the previous dynasty!
Thinking of this, Li Shouyi looked at the screen with all his attention.
Because, on the screen, the bookstore owner had already begun to take care of the Duke of Hell.
…
Lingpingan watched the fire slowly rise.
He held the grasshopper in his hand, and his plump body looked a bit tempting.
He licked his lips and tossed the grasshopper onto the grill.
The flames immediately rose.
Grasshoppers scampered on the grill.
But soon, it was engulfed in flames and stopped struggling!
Lingpingan sighed and said to it: "I'm sorry, I forgot to give you a humanitarian death..."
"but… "
"I remember insects have very few nerves..."
"And the pain is not too high..."
"So..." He shrugged.
…
Li Shouyi and Situ He looked at the picture on the screen.
The bookstore owner easily pinched the Duke of Hell from the cup.
It's like pinching an ant.
In His hands, the Duke of Hell, the once arrogant and terrifying devil, is like an ant, with no room for struggle.
He gently threw the Duke onto the grill in front of him.
The flames rose.
The drone's high-definition camera accurately captured this picture!
That flame has a pure blue color!
Burning wantonly, as dazzling as a solar flare!
In the flames, the Devil Duke rolled and roared in pain.
His soul and body were sintered together.
His strength, His spirit, and His flesh and blood melt together!
The filth in his body and the blasphemous energy in his soul were directly vaporized and burned in the flames, and finally turned into light golden lines that lingered in his flesh and blood.
The Devil Duke, in the flames, was roasted into a crystal-clear, grasshopper-like thing in less than a few seconds.
Just as He said: Roast a worm and eat it!
And Li Shouyi and Situ He clearly felt it, being burned by the flames.
All bad and corrosive things in the soul and flesh of the Devil Duke from hell have been converted into a special substance.
These substances are mixed with the spirit and flesh of this devil duke.
Turning it into a divine object that Li Shouyi and Situ He couldn't help but covet!
Let them smell the fragrance even through the screen!
"If I can eat this grasshopper..." Li Shouyi swallowed: "I will be able to break the current shackles immediately and step into a new world in one fell swoop!"
Definitely!
It was a magical artifact that the owner of the bookstore personally refined with the essence accumulated and precipitated by the Devil Duke for countless years in some kind of terrifying magical flame!
In itself, I am afraid that it is enough to completely revive a god!
Coupled with the fact that the owner of the bookstore personally took action, its quality suddenly improved!
Even if Situ He ate it, he would probably be able to ascend instantly!
but…
In the next second, both Li Shouyi and Situ He saw the bookstore owner throwing the grasshopper that had been roasted on the grill, glowing with five colors of light and containing infinite spiritual energy, towards him. Kitten at feet.
His pet, the cat goddess Best!
Li Shouyi swallowed.
"People are worse than cats!" he sighed.
Situ He swallowed and sighed: "Humans are not as good as cats!"
…
Kitten Best opened her mouth to catch the grasshopper thrown by Lingpingan.
It bites!
Tears welled up from the corner of his mouth.
He was about to take a big gulp and swallow it all.
It suddenly remembered something.
So, he picked up the grasshopper and ran into the house.
Lingpingan looked at it and knew that the kitten was probably used to eating on his back in the corner.
So I didn't care about it, but stood up and started preparing the mushrooms.
…
The little black cat held the grasshopper in his mouth that had a fragrant aroma that made his mouth water.
It jumped into the utility room.
A small flame appeared from beside it.
The blue flames and plasma saliva couldn't help but rush out.
The little black cat reluctantly bit the grasshopper in his mouth and gave it about a little more than one-third.
Then he threw about 20% of the meat into a plastic basin.
Click, click, click!
Then it lay down and started gobbling it up.
Clicking, clicking, and chewing sounds also came from the plastic basin.
Suck! Suck!
The little flame licked the meat in his hand.
It is extremely cherished and valued.
Because this is a treasure that the great master personally roasted!
Therefore, although its raw material is just a low-level secondary devil.
but…
This also has countless benefits for Him!
Little Flame even felt it, if he could completely digest this piece of meat.
So…
His status can be further improved!
Maybe, in the future, He can become the Great Pope of Living Flame!
Become the leader of all other high priests!
You can even have a star of your own.
Thereby having the possibility of being promoted to an Outer God!
From the Great Old Ones to the Outer Gods, one not only needs power and knowledge, but also recognition!
Because the old rulers were just powerful old gods.
But the outer gods have mastered the rules, and are even the incarnation of the rules themselves!
Therefore, the authority and power of all external gods come from Him.
The great master, the origin and foundation of all things!
