Leo's breathing quickened as he turned pale with fright.
I said, Leo, who are you talking to?
It was nothing. I won't talk to you for now. See you tomorrow! Leo felt that something was wrong. He was afraid that it would scare me and he stuffed the bronze mirror into the drawer. The empty palace suddenly became eerie and terrifying.
"Don't look for me. I'm in your heart. I'm you.”
"Don't scare me. I'm the king of the humans. I've seen everything! Come out quickly!"
"I'm telling the truth. I'm in your heart.”
Leo felt that the voice sounded familiar, but he wasn't sure where he had heard it before. He asked, Do I know you?
The voice smiled mysteriously,"Of course, we're old acquaintances."
Leo exclaimed,"Viper!" You are a poisonous snake!
The voice laughed and said,"I'm no longer called Viper. I'm called Devil."
"Isn't it still you after changing your name?"
"I was originally called a devil, but because I lost my magic power, I temporarily became a poisonous snake.”
"Are you really in my heart?"
"Have you forgotten that the moment the Holy Sword stabbed into the Heart of Darkness, a gust of cold air entered your stomach?”
Leo suddenly understood." Oh, I get it. You snuck in when I wasn't paying attention!"
The demon laughed and said,"To be precise, it should be called a parasite."
"What do you want?"
"Revenge."
"Do we have a grudge?"
"Not to you."
Leo heaved a sigh of relief and asked,"Then who?" Gonggong?
"I used him to recover my true body. I can't even thank him enough. Why would I take revenge on him? Fuxi is my enemy."
"What does it have to do with him?"
I was blamed for killing the Holy Infant, hiding everywhere like a stray dog, and being chased by the dragon all day long. It was all because of him! The demon's angry voice sounded like it was about to cry.
"Holy infant? Giant dragon? What happened?"
The demon told a sad story. It turned out that in order to study the mysteries of the universe, they had to build an experimental base. However, the magical power of the gods was insufficient, and they needed the collective sacrifice of the five gods. Pangu couldn't bear to see the gods sacrifice themselves, so he sacrificed his life. He left behind his dying wish, hoping that the Council of Elders would consider passing the throne of the Great Emperor of the Universe to his son, Holy Infant. Although it was a suggestion, everyone knew that it could not be rejected. The gods owed him too much, so he could only pass.
Pangu inherited the throne through the abdication system, and this tradition had lasted for hundreds of millions of years. The next successor was supposed to be found among the major families in the Divinity, and the one who was widely recognized was Fuxi. However, Pangu's last wish changed Fuxi's fate and ended the great abdication system.
Although Fuxi was dissatisfied, he was helpless and was very sad. He conspired with the demons to lure the Holy Infant to drink dark energy. At that time, the Holy Infant was only six years old. Drinking dark energy stopped him from growing and losing his holiness. The Council of Elders discovered this and stripped the Holy Infant of his throne.
Fuxi naturally succeeded to the throne, but he didn't fulfill his promise with the demons and didn't give him the Eternal Sealed Land. The demons were resentful and threatened to take revenge on Fuxi. Fuxi was afraid that his crimes would be exposed and that he would harm the devil, so he sent the dragon to hunt him down. The demon had no choice but to ask the Holy Infant for help and tell him the truth.
The Holy Infant was furious. It absorbed all the Dark Energy and Dharma power in the devil's body and turned into the Holy Devil Infant. The Fuxi was defeated by the Holy Infant and fled everywhere. While they were fighting, the spirit of Pan Gu appeared and took the Holy Infant to the Evil Spirit Valley to seal it up forever with a curse.
The devil abandoned his dark energy and magic power and fled to the demon world. However, he was still chased by the giant dragon. He had to hide his identity and escape everywhere. He appeared as a poisonous snake. In order to capture him, the dragon never left the demon world and stayed in a valley. Later, he was killed by the monsters summoned by the poisonous snake.
The holy infant had accidentally obtained nine guardians in the Evil Spirit Valley, which were the nine evil spirits. They lived by feeding on the dead souls and waited for the opportunity to take revenge.
Gong Gong went to the Evil Spirit Valley to ask the nine evil spirits for help. The holy infant knew that he was fighting against the Fuxi, so he allowed the nine evil spirits to come out of the valley to help him.
The venomous snake had come out of the demon world and had been scheming to turn back into a demon. That was why it had stored dark energy, bought patients and death row prisoners, and fed on their souls. When his scheme was exposed, he had no choice but to transform and escape. He sneaked into the Heart of Darkness and wanted to hide in the demon world through the dark path. He did not expect to fall into the hands of the Holy Infant. The Holy Infant transferred Dark Energy and magical power to him, asking him to avenge him.
……
Leo felt his hair stand on end. What scared him was not the demons and Evil Spirit Valley, but the beautiful faith he had in Pangu and the gods. It was as if he had fallen into an eye of ice. His body was cold, and even his heart was frozen.
Leo shouted," You're a demon! What you said is not true!" It wasn't real!
The devil sighed,"Yes, who would believe the devil's words?" You can ask Fuxi, isn't he coming soon?
"What if there's half a lie?"
"I am willing to be punished by the flames of hell!”
Leo's mood was very heavy. He did not expect the gods to be as dirty as humans, full of fighting and plotting!
The demon comforted him," You must have suffered a blow. It's actually very normal. It's precisely because of this that the gods are struggling to explore the mysteries of the universe." It was said that once this mystery was solved, the world would become as beautiful as imagined!
"What do you want?"
The devil said righteously,"Justice has been served, and evil has been punished!"
"Don't beat around the bush with me."
The devil insidiously said,"It's like this. Fuxi abdicated, and the holy infant got everything he lost."
"What about you? Don't you have any ulterior motives?"
"That was after the restoration of the Holy Infant.”
"What does this have to do with me?"
"You are the king of humans, you can threaten Fuxi.”
"What are you threatening me with?"
" Humans 'faith in God."
Leo smiled,"I can't control my faith."
"Yes, all emperors can. It depends on whether you want to be one or not.”
"Isn't that the same as Gonggong?”
" I knew you wouldn't do it. That's why I prepared Plan B. I will expose Fuxi's scheme to the Council of Elders.”
"Why didn't you do it before?"
"Who would believe the words of a devil and a criminal in the past? It's different now. I have you to guarantee that your credit rating is very high.”
Leo rolled his eyes and said,"So I'm a key character?"
"Of course, you are the key to everything. Humans were precious experimental subjects of the gods. If the king of the humans went against them, the experiment would be ruined. Not only would Pangu's sacrifice be in vain, but the gods would also face exile and judgment!”
"Really? By whom?"
"Chaos God. This was a story that was too far away, and Fuxi probably didn't know much about it.”
"What if I don't agree?"
"You don't have a choice because you're controlled by me.”
Leo smiled and said," Then you can ask me to negotiate with Fuxi?"
"You don't have to worry about that. In short, if you don't agree, you'll see the consequences tomorrow.”
"Are you trying to scare me?"
"I'm telling the truth. Since we can't be separated, it's better to be honest.”
"I'll be honest with you too. I'll never compromise with you!”
The devil said calmly,"Wait until tomorrow."
Leo roared,"Let me see the consequences now!"
The demon laughed. Leo's heart thumped wildly, his blood vessels swelled, his eyes swelled, and his body trembled. He held the table with both hands and shook it violently. His hair stood up and he was foaming at the mouth. Blood dripped from the corners of his eyes. He endured the pain and didn't dare to shout out, afraid that I would worry.
"Leo, Leo, what's going on?" What happened?
The demon stopped and smiled,"How is it?" Have you experienced it?
Leo had just recovered a little. He could only take a few steps away from me and walk towards the corridor. As he walked, he said, Give up on this idea. I will never make a deal with the devil!
The demon laughed and said,"That's what they say at the beginning."
Leo gritted his teeth and whispered,"Never!" Never!
The devil said sadly,"Well, I feel sorry for you."
Another round of violent beating. This time, it was even more violent. He fell to the ground and scratched the carpet with his fingers, leaving traces.
He insisted on crawling forward slowly. He could no longer see anything clearly. His brain was numb and swollen. He moaned softly, Never! Never! I am the king, I will never compromise…
The demon was tired and said,"I didn't expect you to be in good health." I'm tired. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Goodnight, my king!
Leo panted heavily and groaned,"Never, never…"
I was very worried in the drawer, but I didn't know what was going on.
……
The next morning, the guards found Leo sprawled on the ground, his clothes drenched in sweat, his fingernails covered in blood, and the carpet covered in finger marks. They hurriedly helped him to bed and called the angels to heal him.
No one knew what had happened. The king said that it might be a type of epilepsy, and advised Leo to rest more. Leo grabbed his hand, smiled, and said that he would have the meeting as usual. Everyone saw that he was very normal and agreed.
When they arrived at the meeting hall, Leo didn't sit at the round table. Instead, he sat on the golden throne. Everyone didn't care, thinking that the wide seat was more conducive for him to rest. Only Monkey felt that it was unusual. Leo had an extra aura of a king today. Unknowingly, he moved his chair to the throne and sat next to him. The throne was very far from the round table, so everyone could only move the chairs over and sit in two rows on the left and right.
Leo smiled and raised his finger gracefully, signaling the start of the meeting. Everyone first discussed how to deal with the prisoners and started arguing. Some people thought that they should be released and the abandoned production activities should be resumed as soon as possible. Some people thought that they should be tried and then serve as laborers for public services.
Leo raised his finger and everyone stopped to look at him. He smiled and said," The people are restless. The remnants of the God of War haven't been eliminated. It's a good time to stir up trouble. I have to teach these fence-sitters a lesson."
Monkey shouted excitedly,"Then kill a few of them!"
Leo lowered his eyelids and laughed.
Everyone looked at him in confusion. The king shook his head and said," Leo's body hasn't recovered yet. I think we should go back first today. What's the matter…
Before he could finish, Leo slammed the chair heavily and said seriously, Forever! Never, ever mention anything again, Leo.
The angels were extremely shocked. The king smiled bitterly and started an awkward situation. Monkey saw that something was wrong and quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile. The king is tired. Let's go back first.
Everyone looked at the strange Leo and walked away resentfully. The judge didn't want to leave, so Ah Dan helped him leave.
Monkey asked the guard to bring over a fruit platter and handed it over." Wang, look at how fresh the fruits are.
Leo pulled out a bunch of red grapes with his fingertips and gently and elegantly placed them in his mouth. Then, he chewed hard as if he was tearing apart tendons. Fresh blood splattered all over Monkey's face. Monkey narrowed his eyes and said with a smile," The king had such a good appetite!
Be good, you're a good person. Leo said as he gently stroked his hair.
Monkey quickly knelt on the ground and raised the fruit plate above his head. He shouted, We will listen to the king's orders!
Leo opened his mouth and let out a terrifying, high-pitched laugh.
……
The Cowboy went to the King's room to talk to him, to see him making medicine. He told the king his worries.
The king shrugged and said with a smile," The patient is temperamental. That's not normal. We have to be tolerant." He would feel better after taking this medicine. Don't discuss important matters before he recovers, or else it will delay things.
The Cowboy wanted to say that Monkey had changed, but he couldn't explain it clearly. He thought that he should wait and see.
……
At night, Leo locked the door tightly and flew into a rage in the room. He scolded, Demons! Come out and compete with me! I'll kill you!
The devil smiled and said,"How does it feel?" Was it more painful than last night? Promise me?
"Impossible!"
"Then don't bother me. I still have a lot of big things to deal with tomorrow!”
"Ah! I'm going crazy!"
The demon said sympathetically,"Aiyo, little baby, I can't bear to let you go crazy."
"If I go crazy, I can abdicate. You can't threaten me anymore. Haha!"
"Oh? Was that so? Which king would abdicate because he had gone mad? The courtiers preferred a crazy king. Half of them would be more unscrupulous in their corruption, while the other half would be busy with political struggles and neglect government affairs or busy establishing their prestige. Therefore, it's impossible for you to abdicate."
"My guild is definitely not like what you said!”
"Oh? Was that so? Do you have superhuman insight?"
"No, I haven't."
"You have strong leadership skills?"
"Not really. They trust me, and I trust them. We are like brothers.”
"Even brothers are unreliable, how can a group of people who are bound by interests be so reliable?”
"We sacrificed many lives for justice.”
"All political powers glorify themselves like this.”
"We swore an oath!"
"It is precisely because lies are everywhere that there are oaths. It was precisely because of the fragility of trust that there were swears!”
"You're slandering me!"
" They will soon realize that there is a better reputation than being a martyr, and there is a happier home, power, status, and favor than sacrifice…"
"Lies! Devil's trick! Don't even think about breaking my faith and making me compromise with you? I've gone through countless hardships. Don't even think about finding a breakthrough!”
"There's one thing I want to clarify. It's never the seduction that comes first, but the desire in the heart. The turbulent emotions, the dazed eyes, the dazed will, and the suppressed heartbeat had been waiting for them. The temptation was just a catalyst that made everything release faster, stronger, and more violently!”
"Enough! I still have plans for the worst!"
"Death? Like Pangu who stabbed his heart with a holy sword? How terrifying!"
Leo looked at the darkness and recalled the scene of the sword tip piercing his eyes. There's nothing to be afraid of. I've experienced it. Because justice would not be afraid.
"Justice? You will leave a reputation of being timid, a young king who could not bear the burden and escaped responsibility by dying.”
"I will announce everything to the world. The people will understand me and respect my sacrifice.”
The demon laughed and said,"Dream on!" Declaring what? Declaring that you have a devil in your heart?
"Can't I?"
" Once you get involved with the devil, people will lose their fragile faith in you. Your baby regime will immediately collapse, and the world will return to the era of barbaric war.”
Leo sighed,"So I can't die even if I want to?"
" If the plan can be easily terminated because of your death, is it still the plan of a god and a demon that has been going on for tens of thousands of years? You're underestimating our intelligence!”
Leo fell into deep thought. After a minute, he suddenly had an idea. I can die of illness!
He laughed happily.
"Let me tell you, if any founding king cannot establish the confidence of the people and the foundation of his rule, the regime will fall apart in the hands of his successor. Don't tell me you haven't studied history before? Therefore, no matter what the reason was, the regime would end in a hurry. Are you willing to see such a situation?”
"You're lying!"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the angels."
……
In a while, the king and the poetess would send over the medicine. Leo refused to drink. The king smiled and said,"This is not a medicine for immortality."
Leo smiled and said,"I know. I'm really not sick."
Poetess: " You're not in a good state today. We're all worried about you. Drink the medicine and see how you're doing."
Leo wanted to tell them about the demon, but he couldn't. The demon wouldn't let him.
Leo: I'm not sick. I have a question for you.
King: Drink it while it's hot.
Leo drank the medicine and wiped his mouth, saying,"If I die, will our regime be in danger?"
Stunned, they looked at each other and laughed. The poetess said,"Silly child, why are you thinking about this?" And he said he wasn't sick?
Leo smiled bitterly." I'm really not sick. Tell me, ah."
King: Well, theoretically speaking, the creator of a new regime is the soul of the regime. His style, thoughts, temperament, and cultivation will directly affect whether the foundation of the regime is stable and whether it can last. Of course, he still has to do a lot of work to establish various administrative systems. If he didn't finish his work, the foundation of the regime would be unstable, and the successor wouldn't be strong enough. Many things would hit a snag, and the regime would become unstable. But you are still young and in good health.
Leo: Oh, I see. If I do something wrong, can you forgive me?
The poetess stroked his hair and said," Of course, we're family. We all love you very much.
Leo laughed happily.
The king and the poetess stayed for a while, then walked out of the room. In the corridor, the poetess said," Leo's behavior just now was very normal. He didn't seem to be sick.
" This kind of illness only acts up intermittently. Let's see how it goes after taking this medicine. If it doesn't get better, I'm afraid..."
"Afraid of what?"
"I'm afraid it's a mental illness that's not easy to treat.”
"Will I? Leo had been through so many storms and was fine. How could he get that kind of illness when everything was calm now?”
"This disease is mostly inherited from the family. External factors are only one aspect. Once the long-term stress disappeared, the human physiological system would relax its vigilance, and it was common for the illness to erupt.”
The poetess was worried. She suddenly thought of something and said, Leo seemed to be hiding something from us. It wasn't on purpose. What was it that was difficult to say? He wanted to say it a few times but hesitated.
"Could it be that he wants to get me out of the bronze mirror but is too embarrassed to ask?”
"He's not a child anymore. Why is he so shy?”
"I can't think of anything else.”
"It's not easy for them. I often feel sad for them.”
"We have to find a suitable opportunity to find a way.”
……
Devil: How is it? Did you hear that?
Leo was so depressed that he didn't say anything. Could it be that she was going to be at his mercy? Absolutely not! Even if I can't beat him, I have to let him see my unyielding attitude!
The devil laughed and said,"You don't have to suffer so much if you want to prove your attitude."
Leo said angrily," Don't be happy too early. I don't believe that you don't have any weaknesses!"
"Finding other people's weaknesses is my profession. Do you want to challenge my profession?”
Leo gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table. I was shocked when I heard a thud.
The devil smiled and said,"Don't scare your dear me."
Leo's eyes lit up and he hurriedly opened the drawer. The demon realized that something was wrong and quickly controlled Leo. Every time Leo pulled away a little, the demon would push him up a little. I saw the drawer open and close. Leo's face twitched, his teeth clenched, his eyes burning, and his head covered in sweat. He was very shocked. She called out to him, but there was no response.
I asked the Mirror Demon,"Look, what happened to Leo?"
"Are you sick?"
"It looks so scary!"
"I'm afraid he's mentally ill! Check his genetic history and medical records. Let me see. Hmm, what? He lived in a backward fishing village and had no information to check!”
"What should we do?"
"Tell the angels?"
"Hurry up!"
I walked into the bishop's consciousness and shouted," Bishop, go and take a look at Leo. He looks so scary!
The bishop quickly looked at the image the Mirror Demon showed him and said," He must be mentally ill and must be treated immediately!
"How?"
The bishop sighed,"It's best to avoid relatives."
"Tell me how to treat it!"
" Yena, listen to the Bishop. As long as he can be cured, they won't hurt him."
I can only leave.
……
Demon: If you don't let go, I'm going to jump!
Leo: No matter what, I'm going to tell Yena!
The demon shook its head and jumped up violently. Leo immediately fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and his limbs twitching. He grabbed a chair leg and tried to prop himself up. Unexpectedly, he used too much strength and broke the chair leg. He fell to the ground, grabbed half of the chair's leg, and hit his heart hard. He wanted to stop his violent heartbeat, but it was useless. He hit his head again to regain his consciousness, but it was useless. Blood immediately flowed out.
The bishop led the angels and flew over. The dwarves and bandits went up to help Leo up and were beaten up by him. The bishop shouted at them,"Don't be lenient, take him down!"
The dwarf and the bandit looked at each other and nodded, pressing him down on the table.
The devil shouted, What are you doing?
You'll understand when you recover. Bear with it for now. A ball of light appeared at the tip of the bishop's finger and moved slowly on his forehead, as if he was holding a drop of water. The demon shouted,"No!" No!
At this moment, Monkey, Cowboy, and Second Brother rushed over after hearing the news. They were very shocked when they saw this scene. Monkey shouted,"Stop!" What are you doing?
The angels ignored him. Monkey shouted,"Quick!" Protect Leo!
Second Brother and the Cowboy were at a loss, but when they heard his shout, they rushed forward to push the bishop away and protect Leo.
The devil shouted,"Fortunately, you came early, or I would have been killed by them!"
The angels were shocked and didn't know what to do as they looked at Leo.
Monkey pulled out his sword and shouted,"You guys retreat, retreat quickly!"
Seeing that they weren't moving, Monkey gave Second Brother a look. The second brother raised his axe and shouted,"You bunch of bird angels, you hypocritical people! How dare you plot against my king!"
The Cowboy stopped him and said,"Maybe it's a misunderstanding. Calm down!"
Don't mess around here! Look at what he has become! I'm going to treat him. Get out of the way! The bishop pointed at Leo angrily.
The two sides confronted each other, and the demon laughed secretly. The guards in the palace all ran in. Monkey shouted,"Protect the beast!"
The guards quickly surrounded the angels. The angels looked at each other. The bandits and dwarves were about to use violence, but they were stopped by the king.
Monkey jumped up anxiously and shouted, Guards, let them out!
The guards drew their spears closer to the angels. The bishop sighed, and the angels left dejectedly.
The devil sneered,"You don't have to care about my business!"
After the angels left, Monkey and the others knelt on the ground. The demon wiped the blood off with a tissue and smiled." Good brother, you are really my warrior.
Monkey smiled and said," You must be wary of the angels in the future. I've long suspected that they have ill intentions." Who would risk their lives for irrelevant people? They must be trying to snatch the throne from you!
Cowboy: You can't say that. Maybe it's a misunderstanding. Angels aren't…
Second Brother shouted,"What misunderstanding? Didn't you see it?" The old man wanted to cut open the king's head. I saw it very clearly!
The devil sobbed, They want to kill me, I have no one to rely on.
Second Brother and Monkey shouted together,"The King still has us."
Devil looked at the Cowboy, who lowered his head and said," I will never leave the king.
The demon laughed at the sky.
When Monkey left, he strengthened the guards of the palace, forbidding the angels from approaching the palace.
……
The angels walked on the road. The robber said anxiously and angrily,"What's going on?" We've become the bad guys who murdered the king.
Beauty: They misunderstood.
Boss: " Monkey doesn't seem to misunderstand. He can't wait for such an opportunity!"
Poetess: You can't say that. They're still children.
[Liar: The monkey has already changed.]
King: We wanted to punish him for a long time, but we didn't expect the situation to turn out like this. We're in a very passive position now.
Bishop: " Nothing else is important. Leo is seriously ill and needs to be treated as soon as possible."
Dwarf: But we can't reach the King. The guards are watching.
Liar: Can you still not let us discuss politics?
King: " I'll see if the monkey dares."
A guard ran over and said,"Lord Monkey's orders. The angels will temporarily stop discussing politics."
The bishop took the notice. There was Leo's stiff and deformed signature on it, which confirmed that it was his handwriting.
The bishop sighed,"My children."
Bandit: What should we do now?
The angels stopped at the crossroads and looked at each other sadly.
The bishop looked at the Prime Minister's mansion in the distance and said," There was only one hope left.
Everyone's hearts suddenly brightened up as they walked towards the Prime Minister's residence. Walking into the mansion, he saw a group of clerks typing and copying documents in the hall. They pushed open the door of the office and saw the judge sitting in a chair with a cane and muttering, Did you remember it? Chapter 53, article 13, all things belong to their owners, all land belongs to their owners, all freedom belongs to their owners, and the state cannot be deprived of it. Those who live have their own houses, those who are buried have their own soil, and the state cannot deprive them of their property.……
Adan lowered his head and took notes seriously in front of him.
Ah Dan saw them push the door open and came in. His complexion was not good. He stood up in surprise and smiled. You guys…
The judge said,"The footsteps are heavy and hurried. Something big must have happened."
The bishop bowed to the judge and said,"Judge, is your heart still clear?"
Judge: Yes, clearer than I can see.
The bishop told him what had happened. The judge sighed deeply,"This is also the reason why I compiled the code. What should happen will happen sooner or later, but it will happen too quickly."
Adan asked worriedly, What should we do?
Bishop: Now I want you to do something you don't want to do.
Judge: As long as it is for the sake of justice.
……
The next morning, the judge attended the council meeting. Leo's head was wrapped in bandages as he sat on the throne and drank a glass of red wine. Monkey presided over the meeting and used a proud tone to describe the incident that happened yesterday. Ah Dan saw Monkey put on the gold watch that he had secretly hidden.
The judge understood that she was telling him, so he pretended not to know and asked, What were they doing?
Monkey: " Of course it's rebellion. They bully us because we're young and want to seize power!" Kill Leo first, then…
The judge asked curiously,"Then what?"
"Then he will kill you, me, Dan, the Cowboy, Second Brother, and anyone who is loyal!”
"Then how do you plan to deal with it?"
"I have already taken back their authority.”
"What rights do they have?"
"The right to discuss politics. They won't be able to discuss politics in the future. Also, don't let them get close to the king."
"Does the king know?"
"It was an order signed by the king."
"King, what do you think?"
Leo swallowed a mouthful of wine and said slowly," What? What did you say?
"How do you think we should deal with the angels?”
Leo: It's not that serious. Maybe it was just a spur of the moment. Maybe I said something yesterday that hurt them?
Monkey,"They had planned this!" It had only been a few days, and the fox's tail was already exposed!
The judge asked, What do you think, Cowboy?
Cowboy: I…
[Monkey: He also supports the sanctioning.]
Judge: Let the Cowboy speak for himself.
Cowboy: I…Can't everyone calm down? The angels have always been good to us, and they have paid a lot in the war.
[Monkey: There is no free lunch. There must be a reward for every effort. There must be a harvest for every sowing. Now is the time to reap power and benefits.]
The Cowboy lowered his head and said nothing.
Leo said politely, Your Honor, what do you think?
The judge felt extremely uncomfortable and had no choice but to say, It still depended on the king's intentions.
Leo: I mean, just drive them away!
Monkey: Yes, banished!
Cowboy: So you can come whenever you want?
"They are wanted just like how the Viper wanted us. The bounty hunters are hunting them everywhere.”
"Let's talk to them first."
Monkey said angrily,"Talk about what?" Do I still have to negotiate with a group of schemers?
"This matter is too sudden. It's better to call everyone together to discuss it.”
"They're all here. Who else should we call?"
"Yena and Mirror Demon?"
Monkey looked at Leo and didn't dare to speak.
Leo rolled his eyes and asked,"Why did you call that woman?" She's just an illusion. She teaches me all day and can't do anything. The Mirror Demon was nothing special except for the fact that he could watch the slideshows. They were from another world.
Monkey smiled and said,"The King is right. They are only illusions and cannot be considered our people."
The judge had an answer in his heart and said,"King, I'm tired. Can you let me go back and rest?"
Leo said politely,"Okay, don't tire yourself out."
Dan helped the judge away, and the cowboy found an excuse to leave. Monkey asked curiously,"Why are you so polite to him?" He is just a poor scholar, but you are the king. If he wanted to do great things, he could not care about the friendship he had in the fishing village! Besides, he was blind. It was already good enough to give him a mouthful of food. Why was he so polite?
Leo smiled and said,"If you want to get rid of someone, you have to first make him not wary and treat him well, understand?"
Monkey came to a realization and cried out in surprise," You're so brilliant! Admirable! Admirable!
……
The judge returned to the mansion and said to the waiting angels," The king is not ill.
The angels asked in surprise,"Can't you tell?"
Judge: That's not an illness!
The bishop smiled,"I didn't expect your heart to be clearer than ours!"
The king was puzzled." If he's not sick, how could he be like that? Did his temperament really change and become tyrannical like the emperors in history?"
Cried the poetess, Oh, I see!
The beauty also smiled and said,"Sister, we guessed it at the same time again!"
The other angels were kept in the dark and asked anxiously," Hurry up and tell me, don't keep me in suspense!
The judge said,"It wasn't Leo who spoke."
The Bishop said,"It's a demon."
Everyone was extremely shocked.
Adan: You mean the demon killed Leo and turned into him?
[Bishop: The devil has entered Leo's heart and become a parasite.]
Bandit: A viper turned into a demon?
Bishop: " Let's not talk about this for now. Saving Leo is more important."
The Cowboy pushed open the door and walked in." No wonder Leo's expression and tone are a little like a poisonous snake. I'm just not sure."
Ah Dan went to close the door and looked outside. This kind of big event had to be kept a secret. Fortunately, the Cowboy had heard it, otherwise…
The Cowboy shouted," Oh no, I saw a monkey guard standing at the door. Did he hear something?"
Bishop: Go catch him!
Cowboy: He ran far away. He must have gone back to report.
Judge: Oh no, the demons will not let us go, but I have not informed the army.
Bishop: Don't count on the army, hide for now.
They walked towards the gate. They saw that the courtyard was already heavily surrounded by the boy scouts. Leo and Monkey were riding on horses and watching them.
Dan took out his pistol and was about to curse when the judge stopped him. The judge said in a low voice, Don't mention the devil. Even if you have to sacrifice yourself, you must keep this secret.
Ah Dan had no choice but to put down his gun. The Cowboy said, Angels, can you force the devil out?
They shook their heads.
Please understand me. The Cowboy sighed and walked to Monkey's side. He turned around and faced the angels with his gun. He said," They're plotting rebellion. I'll arrest them."
Adan widened his eyes, raised his gun, and shouted," Traitor!
The judge pressed down on her arm.
Are you going to surrender or do you want to have a competition? Monkey laughed arrogantly and waved behind him. The monsters ran over fiercely. The snow wolf was being held by the giant, struggling and refusing to move forward.
The beauty shouted,"Stinky monkey!" I worked so hard to treat their injuries just so that you could harm your colleagues?
Monkey smiled and said," They have all confessed. You treated their injuries in order to rope them in to rebel. Don't look so noble!"
The beauty was so angry that her face turned red and her eyes were filled with tears. The poetess hugged her and comforted her. The king shouted, What do you want?
Monkey said angrily,"Don't call me monkey. Is that what you call me?" The king made me the prime minister and gave me Sin City forever!
The leopard shouted,"King of Faith!"
The monsters cheered. Monkey quickly thanked him smugly.
Two officers stood out from the army and threw their weapons on the ground." We believe in the judge!
More soldiers threw down their weapons. The monsters tied them up and took them to the back. The snow wolf broke free from the giant and ran to the judge, roaring at Leo.
The judge stroked the snow wolf and read,"The first article of the second chapter of the code of law states that the king is the servant of the people and shall not enfeoffe the land of the people." All things belong to their owners, all land belongs to their owners, all freedom belongs to their owners, and the country cannot be deprived of it!
Monkey laughed even harder, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He laughed and said," Look at your poor appearance. You've already lost your golden bowl of begging. The king has ordered the abandonment of the code of law, but you're still busy!
The bishop glared at Leo. The demon didn't dare to look him in the eye. He hurriedly covered his face with his battle robe and said," Monkey, stop talking nonsense and quickly clean up the mess!
Second Brother and the monsters roared and rushed forward. Lightning flashed, and the angels and judges disappeared. The demon watched them disappear into the air and stuck out its tongue happily.
……
Leo was the only one standing in the dark and empty palace.
The devil laughed,"You saw it all?" This is your team! Half of them ran away, and the other half abandoned their beliefs!
Leo was so ashamed that he couldn't even hide his face.
"Such a simple game, such an easy choice, but I didn't pass.”
Leo said sadly,"Don't say anymore."
"Are you sad? Resentment? You should be happy. Who would be able to see through everyone in such a short time?”
"Didn't the judge and Dan not betray their beliefs?”
"What kind of world is this? He actually let a blind man and a woman hold on to their beliefs!”
Leo cried and begged,"Don't say anymore. Don't."
The demon said gently,"People change faster than the second hand, more violently than the storm, and more thoroughly than the two sides of a coin!" What civilization, ideals, beliefs, in this dirty and dark world, what else could they hold on to? What had a clear meaning? What was worth the price of a lifetime?
Leo shook his head and thought, Sad, sad…
" Then let's compromise. Let's work together to build a civilization of our own. The army and taxes were real in their hands, and no one could take them away! Let those illusory things go to hell! You will become the savior of the world, and your descendants will enjoy eternal glory and power!”
Leo shook his head and thought, Sad, sad…
"When the Holy Infant is restored, the three of us will rule the entire universe. Whether it's the Divine Realm, the Human Realm, or the Devil Realm, everyone will have to bow down to us! You can get everything you want without even lifting a finger. Countless beauties were waiting for you to admire them, countless treasures were waiting for you to squander them, countless slaves were waiting for you to whip them, and the foolish people would lie at your feet and suck your toes, calling you father piously. The gods will surround you and flatter you, respectfully blessing you as a god!”
Leo shook his head and thought, Sad, sad…
The demon closed his eyes and said," Everything could be achieved so easily. Compromise, unite, and share!
Leo's mood was extremely low. He took a deep breath and suddenly pulled himself together. He puffed out his chest and said firmly, Sad, but not hopeless. I will never compromise with the devil!
The demon was exasperated. He bared his teeth and roared," What hope do you have?
"As long as there is someone who loves, love will never die out. If it was not extinguished, a single spark could start a prairie fire!”
"Foolish! Confused! Who asked you to be so stubborn! Who asked you to be so old-fashioned!”
Leo looked at the drawer and said,"My Yena."
The devil rolled his eyes and suddenly put away his fierce smile." So that was the case. No wonder he was young. How about this, if I can get your woman out, are you willing to compromise?
"You can't do it."
"Who says I can't do it? It's very simple. As long as you restore the Holy Infant, he will…"
"Kill me, aren't you?"
The devil blinked and said,"So you're worried about this. We're honest."
Leo laughed at him, and the devil's face whispered in shame," Even though our credit history isn't that good, but…but…
"But what?"
The demon couldn't think of an idea and shouted fiercely," Forget it, he had to use force! Just wait and see, what will the world become before the founding ceremony?
"If you dare to continue destroying it, you can forget about it forever!”
The devil was stunned. He rolled his eyes and said," Alright then, let's not talk and see what happens!
"Don't even think about getting anything! Don't even think about it!"
The devil laughed and said,"Not only that, I will dance non-stop every night until your heart fails and you beg for mercy!"
The demon stopped talking and Leo was not allowed to speak.
Everyone who saw Leo thought that he was unfathomable and that he could not show his emotions on his face. They were even more afraid of him. Leo's complexion was getting worse and worse. His lips were pale, his eyes were sunken, and he looked thin. However, no one asked about this. They all wanted to hide far away so as not to get themselves killed. A rumor about the king spread like wildfire. It was said that he often talked crazy things to himself in the dark and abused himself. Some people suspected that the king had gone mad, but more people believed that all great men had strange illnesses. They were great because of these strange illnesses. In short, no one knew the truth.
