Chapter 172: one year lifespan

Views:

Chi Yan found a black star from the fountain in the garden. Unfortunately, his act of holding the star happened to be seen by another human, and then three people, including that person, followed him from far or near.

Chi Yan secretly raised his vigilance, the other party has three people, but he has only one person, so he is weak and weak, and now it is best to find Ye Yingzhi to meet up, the other party will be more afraid when he sees that he is not alone.

He guessed that according to Ye Yingzhi's ability, he should have found a star at this time, so that the two can go back directly to the carriage; if the lover happens to be particularly unlucky this time, it will be even easier for the two to work together to find another star. Safe and secure.

The interior of the Snow Mountain Art Museum is a circular structure. When they separated, the two agreed that one would go to the west and walk from west to east, and the other would go to the east and walk from east to west. Ye Yingzhi was walking towards the west.

He took two steps and rushed up, standing in front of Ye Yingzhi and whispering: "Yingzhi, I have found a star, have you found it? I found someone following me, so I came to find you, let's be careful."

"I also found one." Ye Yingzhi nodded and whispered in Chi Yan's ear, "Let's be careful and go back."

This time, he didn't tell Chi Yan what he saw in that room.

During this trip to hell, he discovered a lot of noteworthy and carefully scrutinized doubts, but he subconsciously didn't want to study these things in detail. Although this way of doing things just went against his usual style of doing things, he didn't even know why he was so abnormal. The reasons do not want to explore. He just wants to live with Ah Yan in the human world in peace, as long as Ah Yan is always healthy and healthy, he has nothing else to ask for, Devil Town, hell. Demons... These are all insignificant side effects, and he hoped that everything would be as he had said before to appease Chi Yan, "When we return to the human world, everything will be fine."

Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi got together, and there was no pressure to continue looking for the stars, so they all walked on the main road in the exhibition area where demon tourists gathered. The three people who had followed them before had no chance to start, and they stopped following them after a while.

In the end, only five people returned to the carriage within the specified time, which means that there were still two stars that were not found, and only one of the three people who followed Ye Yingzhi and Chi Yan returned to the carriage with a black star. .

Aaron closed the car door calmly, and said casually: "This used to be the devil's palace of the ruler of hell, every plant, tree and even brick and tile are magical, and the palace itself has its own preferences, it can guess that everyone comes here. The purpose is sometimes to help, sometimes to set obstacles, and sometimes to ignore it. Therefore, some people can see things in the same position at a glance, while others turn a blind eye.”

Chi Yan secretly rejoiced that he and Ye Yingzhi had good luck, at least they weren't hated by the palace.

At this time, the carriage passed through a dark and colorful tunnel in the distance. Aaron suddenly covered his forehead and groaned: "God, what luck am I."

"Fortunately, our group was drawn to the Easter egg event. The travel agency boss wanted to reward the miners who worked hard for him, so a celebration was arranged. Our carriage was about to pass through the mining area on the edge of hell. The low-level demons and ordinary demons who have lost their identities will come over. You... seek good luck."

After saying these words, Aaron walked into a small compartment at the front of the carriage that was reserved for tour guides and locked the door, obviously ignoring what happened next in the carriage.

There is a strict hierarchy in hell. The lowest and lower-level demons are easy to identify from their appearance. They are often unable to fully transform into human appearances. Compared with ordinary demons, some have no magic horns, and some have no tails, but they will remain. The characteristics of some low-level monsters in hell, such as monsters' hooves, claws, fur, scales, etc. In the past, the status of lower-level demons in hell was extremely low, almost equal to that of monsters. After the establishment of the joint government of hell, the status of lower-level demons and ordinary demons has been greatly improved, but there is still a lot of unfair treatment in terms of development. Most lower-level demons can only do hard labor such as mining from hell mines.

However, the owner of the mining area will also add some benefits for them, such as humans who are occasionally delivered to the door, and can be shared by everyone - even if each demon may only get a piece of meat, the weaker demons can't even get a piece of meat, This is also a worthy reward for them - under the current circumstances, it is not so easy for the upper-level demons to eat people, and ordinary demons can only spend a lot of money to go to the resort to play games.

Soon, dense dark shadows of demons shrouded the carriage.

Under their strong impact, the windows of the old-fashioned carriages were almost vulnerable, and they were quickly shattered. The demons rushed in from the outside, and screams soon came from the seats in front. Before the The man who followed the late banquet was clawed out of the window by three demons with bird claws and wings. He had a big hole in his abdomen, and a paw even caught on his valgus intestines, and he was still struggling with his back to the sky.

Ye Yingzhi immediately swallowed the remaining golden bean after Aaron left, and then locked Chi Yan in his arms with the bone wings that grew.

Most of the lower-level demons retain the keen intuition possessed by monsters. Those who have just tasted human blood can quickly judge that there is a delicious human being hidden in the pair of bone wings. The higher-ranking demon didn't dare to take the initiative to attack the opponent easily, and after judging that there were no other humans in the carriage, he dispersed.

The carriage drove out of the hell mine, and Aaron walked out of the compartment, showing an undisguised expression of disgust at the messy carriage.

Then he saw the only remaining Ye Yingzhi and Chi Yan who was still lying in his arms, and exclaimed in amazement: "You guys are still alive! It's amazing! I thought that after this incident, there must be a new life. The whole army will be wiped out.”

The red-haired demon with brown horns jokingly glanced at his human traveler, and said jokingly, "I said, you are not really a demon here to deceive people, right?"

"How is that possible?" Chi Yan sat up straight and smiled politely to the tour guide. In any case, Aaron didn't do anything against them these days, and didn't hold them accountable for not participating in the Death Paradise project, but let them continue to get on the bus, so although the other party sent them to death again and again Demon, his sense of each other is not too bad - after all, they chose to come to Demon Town, after all, they chose to participate in this three-day trip to hell.

If you ask for something, you will naturally have to pay; if you ask for something, you will take greater risks accordingly. That's the basic rule of the devil's game.

Ye Yingzhi held his hand, but did not speak.

After leaving the mining area, it was considered hell. After that, it was not far from Devil Town, and the carriage soon stopped in front of the travel agency.

"Anyway, congratulations on your safe return to Devil Town and getting your points." Aaron smiled at them and dropped the two of them off the bus, "Welcome to join our tour again, and I'll give you a 15% discount."

After getting the points, Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi went straight to the devil shop.

The skull wind chimes rang a few times, and the two pushed open the store door to enter, and a strong and indescribable smell came towards them.

This time, the clerk was sitting behind the transparent counter. There were three black round thorns on the counter in front of her. One of them was peeled from the middle to reveal the golden flesh.

"What is this?" Chi Yan asked while holding back the discomfort.

"Durian, hell durian." The clerk raised her eyes and said, "Would you like to try it? Since you are regular customers, I will invite you to eat it for free. Seriously, after I have eaten hell durian, I will eat your world's durian. , no matter how good the variety is, it will feel bland and tasteless, and I guarantee you will miss it every day in the future."

"No need." Chi Yan quickly declined the other party's kindness, tugged at Ye Yingzhi's sleeve and whispered, "I'll go outside to get some air and wait for you outside the door."

Ye Yingzhi nodded understandingly. Ah Yan has been unable to stand this taste in the world, not to mention the enhanced version of facing three hells now. The Devil's Store is directly facing the central square of Devil's Town, and nothing will happen in this moment.

Chi Yan pushed open the green wooden door of the store, let out a long breath, the skull wind chimes dinged above him, and when he walked out, the wooden door closed automatically behind him.

Chi Yan's eyes automatically fell on the central square in front of him, watching the humans and demons going back and forth, and finally fell on the most eye-catching Angel Fountain in the center.

At this time, he heard the faint, seemingly non-existent cry for help: "... help me, please help me... "

Chi Yan's expression froze, and tentatively took two steps in the direction of the voice. There were passersby passing by in a hurry, and no one looked like the strange caller for help. After this group of humans and demons passed by, the square became even more empty, and the surrounding scene was clear at a glance.

Chi Yan looked back at the green sign of the Devil's Store, hesitated for a while, and continued to take two steps in the direction of the voice.

Eventually he got to the Angel Fountain.

"Save me, thank you for your willingness to save me, just put your hands on the chains on both sides of the wings." The voice became much clearer, and even with the sound of fountain water, the content could be clearly identified.

wings... chains...

Chi Yan raised his head in shock, and for the first time seriously looked at the angel bound in the fountain.

"Who are you? Why are you trapped here?" He frowned and asked in a low voice.

"I am the Archangel Ravi from heaven. I heard that many humans were lured by demons to be eaten by demons on the virtual island created by demons in the world. I decided to save these people, so I came to Demon Town." said the voice.

"But I flew over the town for a week, but I didn't see a human being worth saving. Those people's hearts were already dirty and full of dark desires. When I was about to return to heaven, I was caught by the demons. Now, bound here." There was a deep disappointment in the voice, "The demons cast a magic, unless someone with a clean soul saves me, I will always be bound here in shame, but I waited. For many, many years, countless human beings have passed by here, but none of them can save me."

"You are the first person to appear here, with a clean soul that can save me. Please be sure to save me, and I will do my best to repay you."

Chi Yan was heartbroken for a moment. If what the angel said is true, he doesn't mind helping the other party with his hands, not to mention that the other party said that he can repay him - he really needs the other party's repayment now, and Ye Yingzhi brought him here to prolong his life. , but the experience of these days has been enough to prove that finding a way to prolong life in the devil's territory is actually extremely dangerous. Let the other party take such a big risk. If the other party is a real angel, it is very likely that there is a corresponding life extension method. According to the legendary records, the angel's method should not be as dangerous as the devil.

He didn't expect the other party to give him extra life directly in return, but he hoped that the other party could provide him with the life extension method that the angel had.

Judging from Fang Cai's words is more credible, Chi Yan is willing to bet that what the other party said is true.

"Please wait a moment, I want to wait for my friend to come out to help you."

"Your friend? Is it the one who walks with you every time? No, his soul is very dark, and I can't even convey my voice to you when he's around."

Chi Yan hesitated for a moment: "If I save you, can you tell me how to get extra lives?"

Tianshi's voice paused: "...Yes."

"Okay." Chi Yan nodded and stretched out his hand, "Just put your hand on the chain?"

"right."

If you discuss this matter with Ye Yingzhi, the lover will most likely choose to take the risk and continue to earn the devil's points in exchange for his life, and he does not want him to take a little risk to try to save the angel in order to obtain other life-saving information. But Chi Yan wanted to give it a try. He didn't want his lover to work so hard and dangerous for him.

He stretched out his hand and tentatively touched the stone wing on the left. Miraculously, the chains of the stone carvings disappeared in an instant, and at the same time, the left wing was released from the petrified state, revealing a white, broad wing that shone with warm holy light.

Chi Yan was slightly relieved. It seems that the other party is indeed a real angel.

He took two steps to the other side and put his right hand on itβ€”

In an instant, an extremely dazzling but gentle and amiable pale golden holy light lit up in the central square. The angel who was freed from bondage waved its broad snow-white wings and slowly rose from the fountain, looking down at the humans standing on the ground with compassion and kindness. : "Thank you for unshackled me, your time on earth is running out, I can't prolong your life on earth, but I can take you to heaven, let you enjoy endless time in heaven and enjoy eternal joy and peace."

Chi Yan frowned slightly: "What about him? That friend of mine?"

The angel showed a displeased expression: "His soul is too dark and is destined to go to hell. I can't help him."

"This way..." Chi Yan raised his head, looked at the angel and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, I don't need to go to heaven, and I don't need any other reward."

"Where are you going then?"

"When he is in the world, I will try my best to accompany him in the world; if he goes to hell, I will go to hell with him." The young man standing in front of the fountain lowered his eyes and showed a gentle smile.

The angel stared at him in a daze, but his face suddenly became a little terrifying: "... Humans who are willing to fall, humans who are willing to fall and associate with demons are not worthy of continuing to exist in this world. You should be executed, and the corpses will be thrown into In the abyss of hell, let you repent and reflect in endless pain, and then you will know the gift and tolerance of the kingdom of heaven."

Ye Yingzhi came out of the store with a year's life and other items. Today, the Devil's Store has a 10% discount, so he bought other things that he might use these days, but he didn't see the familiar at the door of the store. figure.

The man frowned, a bad premonition in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, like everyone who passed by the central square, his eyes were attracted by the tall and white angel exuding holy light in the center. It's just that everyone else is looking at angels, but what he is looking at is a tiny human beside the fountain.

He watched helplessly as the angel raised his hand, a holy light hit the human forehead, and then the human lost all blood in an instant, his eyes were closed, and he fell down weakly, but was picked up by the angel's hand and was brought together. fly into the air.

Everything just happened in an instant.

The delicate glass bottle fell to the ground, shattered to the ground, and a pale silver liquid flowed out.

That was the year of life he had just bought for his lover.
