"Albus Dumbledore is the greatest wizard in the world!"
Gu Moli's roar stunned Astaroth, while Hua Qiong behind him looked like he was trying to hold back his laughter. As for Gu Moli himself, he finally reacted after he finished saying this. He quickly covered his mouth, rubbed his face, and adjusted his expression.
"... Well, in short, that's probably the reason."
"After I saw Dumbledore's body, I knew there was something wrong with the script."
"All subsequent speculations were deduced from this basis."
"Is that so?"
Astaroth frowned, still a little confused: "Unlike your previous behavior, this judgment is not wise at all."
"... but maybe I am just ignorant."
"No problem."
Astaroth didn't seem to be bothered by this. He just shook his head and then waved his hand. The next second, the entire Slytherin Chamber began to collapse visibly. Not only the Chamber, but also the entire Hogwarts, everything gradually disintegrated and separated.
And after everything disappeared.
All that was left was the cosmic void, which was not pitch black and invisible, but deep. Due to its infinite vastness, it appeared dark and deep, but it was not without support. Above the head was the cosmic void, while under the feet was a dark abyss, like a calm sea.
"here it is... ."
"My cell."
The sudden sound made Gu Moli and Hua Qiong turn around abruptly, but what came into their eyes was not the human or creature they had imagined, but a human-shaped light. They could even see something like wings behind him, like a being that came out of a myth.
To put it bluntly...
"Angel?"
"Genesis?"
Two voices sounded at the same time, the former was Hua Qiong's voice, and the latter was Gu Moli's reaction. Hua Qiong only thought of the first level, while Gu Moli was at the fifth level.
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void. Darkness was over the face of the deep. The Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the water..."
"ah."
This is a passage from the Old Testament of the Bible. If you compare it carefully, you will find that the scenes in the book are very similar to the scenes before your eyes.
"Are you a god like in the game?"
"How could that be?"
Astaroth shook his head: "It's just because this prison is special. Compared to that, I plan to make a deal with you. I hope..."
"I refuse."
Before Astaroth could finish his words, Gu Moli interrupted him directly.
"... Don't you want to hear the details of the deal?"
"No."
Gu Moli shook his head: "What can a prisoner's deal be? It's nothing more than asking me to help you escape. Although I don't know what crime you have committed, since someone has imprisoned you, there must be a reason. As an uninformed person, I have no responsibility or obligation to let you out."
"... ..So you don't want to hear my story?"
"In no mood."
"The prisoner's unilateral description is not of a reference nature."
"Besides, there are only two possibilities. First, you were imprisoned after being tried by the law. Second, you were imprisoned after being wrongly accused. But no matter which one it is, as an outsider, I have no intention of letting you out. If it's the former, then I am aiding and abetting the evil."
Hearing this, Astaroth suddenly asked: "What if it is the latter?"
"Then how do I know you're not the former?"
"It's all your one-sided story, isn't it?"
"... ... In short, you're just not going to let me out?"
"Unless you have sufficient and solid evidence to prove that you are indeed wronged, I will not make any deal with you. I am on the side of lawful justice."
"Even if I can do you a great favor?"
"Oh, go ask around. Who doesn't know that I, Gu, am not willing to bend for a few pieces of silver?"
Hua Qiong: "That..."
Gu Moli: "Shut up."
Looking at Gu Moli who looked righteous, Astaroth stopped talking. At this moment, he was just a human-shaped light, so his expression could not be seen, but Gu Moli clearly felt that he was sizing him up. That kind of sight was very strange, as if he could see through people's hearts... ..
"Is that so? You won't bow down for a few pieces of silver?"
"Of course, but I can understand a little bit about the great benefit you mentioned. Don't get me wrong, even if you offer a huge benefit, I will not let you go!"
Astaroth: “…???”
As soon as these words were spoken, Astaroth immediately understood, and Hua Qiong also covered his face silently.
What lawful justice? Listen to the emphasized tone.
It's obvious that he's here to ask for benefits!
After figuring this out, Astaroth's eyes turned and he immediately revealed an indescribable smile: "Then I will..."
"That's it."
Astaroth didn't finish his words.
Because before that, Gu Moli and Hua Qiong's figures disappeared in the dark space, and were replaced by a young man in a suit. He just stood quietly on the water, but in an instant, the entire dark space seemed to become brighter.
"Astaroth, this is not within the scope of our transaction."
"... .Ah, what a bummer."
When Astaroth's voice sounded again, it was a little more disappointed: "Mr. Wu, has anyone ever told you that it is a bad thing to break into someone else's home without permission?"
"You consider this place your home? It seems you want to stay here?"
"Just pretend I didn't say anything. Master Wu is invincible. Please save me and escape from this sea of suffering."
"snort!"
Mr. Wu looked quite annoyed at this moment: "If I hadn't stopped you just now, what would you have said to Gu Moli?"
"Whatever... just some random chat or something..."
"Do you want to tell him that you can adjust the drop rate of his gift pack? Or simply give him a legendary equipment? Or even raise his VIP level?"
"Well."
Hearing Astaroth's humble tone of "being caught cheating by the teacher", Mr. Wu was even more furious: "You should know that before the public beta, the player ranks are not yet complete. What will be the consequences if you do this? Or is this actually your will?"
"How could that be? Mr. Wu, you misunderstood. It was just a whim on my part."
"snort!"
"In short, pay attention. I stopped you this time, but next time if someone else finds out, it won't be that easy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Wu seemed to feel that the force in his tone was not strong enough, so he emphasized his tone again and said word by word while looking at Astaroth:
"Before the public beta, the program of Hero Trial had not been fully adjusted, and the players were not ready. If they knew the special nature of the NPCs in the game, it would cause unnecessary panic, so before that, no leaks in this regard were allowed."
"Do you understand?"
"... .Okay, I get it. This kind of thing will never happen again. I will also tell others about it."
"very good."
"As a deal, I will discuss your matter with the All-Knowing and All-Powerful, and try to get you out of this damn place as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Wu's figure disappeared on the surface of the abyss.
