Chapter 229: Maintaining the Covenant

The man with frowning eyebrows followed the shadow of the plain-robed woman in front of him, walking briskly through the dark tunnel. Although the tunnel was well ventilated, it still swelled with a heavy muddy smell, and the man reached out to cover his mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief, and his face showed a look of impatience and disgust. The majestic shoulders hold the pen (tǐng) of the suit, like a well-dressed beast.

The cold-faced man walking in the tunnel was none other than Meng Fusheng's father, Meng Wei. It has been more than ten years since Meng Fusheng was taken away by Lao Pu, and it has been nearly a week since Sun Guoer lived in a mountain villa. Prometheus finally asked Xiao An to bring a new message to Meng Wei.

Leading the way is Prometheus' shēn priest Ye Ling, whose footsteps are light and silent, like a Persian cat with a graceful gait. seemed to feel Meng Wei's anxious (qíng) in the rear, and a pair of long legs were steady and anxious. After a while, the two walked through the corridor (xué) and came to an inconspicuous tunnel.

Ye Ling, who was in the lead, looked back and smiled softly at Meng Wei, stood by a very inconspicuous door somewhere, bent down and pushed the door open, and made a gesture of please. Meng Wei snorted coldly, and stepped in in a (shēn) shape.

As soon as I entered, my eyes suddenly opened up. Hidden behind this simple door is a magnificent and majestic (diàn) hall.

Because it is underground, the whole hall (diàn) is not built according to the usual type. Around the central oval prayer platform, it spirals upwards and looks like a giant egg lying in the earth. The walls of the surrounding hall are carved with stairs for people to sit and lie down, and the surrounding areas are inlaid with gold and silver, covered with brocade, and the luxury is full of solemnity.

There was no one in the church at the moment, and countless huge candles stood along the spiraling staircase, reflecting layers of dazzling light under the folds (shè) of the ornate decorations. The air currents passing through the hall stirred countless fire candles, and the swaying of the flames was both real and illusory, which was shocking.

Meng Wei looked around and found that there was a towering and majestic gate facing the prayer platform, and it seemed that he had only walked through a spare door. And under the light of thousands of candles, a tall man in a black robe (shēn) stood upright beside the prayer platform, as if he was silently communicating with the gods in the void.

In front of the man was a large crystal coffin, in which lay the young girl Chūn Zhengai, with her hands folded in front of her (xiōng), looking like she was asleep. The ruddy face with a quiet smile shone in the crystal coffin.

"Pretend!" Meng Wei's face sank like water, raised his feet through the stairs with fire candles, went straight to the central platform, and walked in front of the black-robed man.

Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, the tall man beside the stage tilted his head slightly, and his smooth and miserable white head reflected (shè) mottled points of light under the reflection of the candle flame, like an oiled pale skeleton. The eyes hidden behind the sunglasses looked at Meng Wei, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a low and soft voice sounded in the empty (diàn) hall

"Long time no see, Mr. Meng."

"Why, don't you thank the God of Light for your guidance?" Meng Wei narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically

"Only people who have no faith will put the name of the god on their lips." Prometheus smiled slightly, stroked the front (xiōng) and said, "And the truly pious person will keep the gods in his heart and silently follow the guidance of the gods to forge ahead." ”

"Didn't you keep a blind eye to me before? Why is it that now (yīn) is ready to complete the means and is not afraid of me? ”

"When have I ever avoided you?" Prometheus smiled slightly, "Or did you ask to see me?" ”

"Hmph, will I see you when I say I'll see you? I told you that I wanted you to return Fusheng, and you agreed? ”

"Don't play with your poor and crude wisdom, the God of Light has already decided everything for us." Prometheus said calmly, "I remember that I asked Xiao An to tell you why I didn't (yǔn) allow Meng Fusheng to go back." ”

"In this way, when you took my daughter here, it was also the God of Light who gave you a dream

Is it? Meng Wei glanced at the girl in the crystal coffin, and said without respect, "Do I still feel honored?" ”

Prometheus smiled faintly and was not angry by Meng Wei's words, and reached out to caress the crystal coffin placed on the prayer platform in front of him, as if caressing the girl's tender skin.

"She'll see Maggie, it's just an accident." Prometheus explained lightly, "I didn't expect her to resonate with the statue, and I didn't break the agreement between us. ”

"You asked me to prepare sacrifices, and I prepared them for you. You want me to cooperate with your arrangement, and I will implement it meticulously. Even in order to make the plan go smoothly, I put Ma Wen in the bedroom. Now you tell me, you didn't think of it? I'd like to ask you, so who should have thought? Me!? ”

"I warned you, if you want to protect your daughter, don't let her get involved, right?" Prometheus looked at the furious Meng Wei and said softly, "Li Yaozhan contacted Maggie and took the key from the scene. After that, your daughter was involved in contact with Li Yaozhan again. Ma Wen was chosen as the goddess, which you have known for a long time (qíng), isn't it your responsibility to develop to this point? ”

"I have had close contact with Ma Wen, and there are not 10,000 but 8,000 for so many years. After Ma Yuan went abroad, Ma Wen's every move was under your control. I want to know, why did she intersect with Li Yaozhan? After a close search by the police, Li Yaozhan also took the missing key. Do you really think I'm a fool? ”

"We're just secretly observing, and we can't say that we are in control of everything we do." Prometheus said unhurriedly, "Besides, you showed your horse's feet and were bitten by hunters is the root cause of this situation." ”

"Listen, I don't have time to mess around with you here. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, Meng Fusheng is my daughter, you don't want to get involved with her! Ten years ago, I haven't settled Eddie's account with you yet! ”

Meng Wei's cold face appeared like a beast, and he stared at the tall man standing next to the prayer platform viciously, "You don't think that I really dare to tear my face with you, right?" I'm just an ordinary person, this is country Z, even the hunters won't do anything to me. But none of you want to survive! ”

Hearing Meng Wei's threat, Prometheus's frontal muscles (ròu) pulled, and although there was no hair on the smooth and pale skull, the muscles (ròu) lying on the brow bone still vividly showed the expression of frowning (qíng)

"In the past ten years, you have really become more and more unruly. Have you forgotten how you got to where you are today? We just answered your prayers, and everything is your own choice, aren't we? ”

"That's because I was deceived by you! You are just a bunch of devils in the name of gods, and you know very well what sins you have done. Meng Wei sneered, "The god who will respond to my kind of prayer, not the devil, what is it?" ”

Hearing Meng Wei's arrogant and rude scoundrel quibbles, Prometheus didn't (jìn) and said with a smile, "What, you regretted it?" ”

"Now it's not my problem, it's you! You're in default! Meng Wei's voice became higher and more frenetic, "You promised me before that you wouldn't do anything to Fu Sheng, but now?" ”

The more Meng Wei spoke, the more excited he became, and he pointed to the crystal coffin on the prayer platform, "This is your promise?" Do I regret it? How much have I done for you over the years? The path I chose? I don't choose to sacrifice my wife and become your money bag! You've made my daughter look like this again! Do you still have the face to say that I regretted it? ”

"What did I do to your daughter?" Prometheus asked with interest

"Are you playing dumb?"

"No, I'm just curious why you think I'm in breach of contract." General

Mitheus said indifferently, "I said before, Meng Fusheng will resonate with Ma Ji, all because Li Yaozhan stole the key. And I will intercept Meng Fusheng, just because if I don't make a move, she will fall into the hands of the hunter. ”

"You're obvious..."Meng Wei was about to interject, but Prometheus raised his hand to stop him.

"You listen to me first." Prometheus's voice was still calm and powerful, revealing the power of stabilizing the mind, "There are two reasons why I didn't let Meng Fusheng go back after that. First, I had a conflict with the hunter that night in order to save Meng Fusheng, and if Meng Fusheng returned to you too early, it would only bring more trouble. ”

"Second, it's why she's lying here now, and why I want you to send Sun Guo'er over. Since I promised you, as long as you don't want to reluctantly involve your daughter, I will naturally keep the promise between us. ”

Prometheus lifted his chin and pointed at Meng Fusheng, who was sleeping in the coffin

"Maggie's awakening can't be stopped, you've been targeted by a tricky hound over there, so naturally I can't send Shenji back. In addition, because of the key, Meng Fusheng will have an induction with Shenji, and I always have to deal with it. I put her in this relic, cut her off from that side, and tomorrow you can get a brand new daughter. ”

"What did you say?" Meng Wei looked at Prometheus suspiciously, his eyes revealing doubt.

"I mean, I've removed the impact of the key on Meng Fusheng. As I said, we will absolutely keep our promises. If you don't take the lead in breaking the contract, I will naturally abide by the agreement. ”

Meng Wei looked at Meng Fusheng lying in the crystal coffin with a sunny face, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Why, Mr. Meng seems to be a little unhappy when he hears the news?" Prometheus asked with a smile

"Would you be so kind? How do I know if you've done something else, and if you really plan to do it, why didn't you explain it to me in the first place? ”

"I'm explaining to you now that you won't believe me, and I explained to you earlier that you won't believe me either." Prometheus smiled lightly and said, "But it's okay, I erased Meng Fusheng's memories since I saw the statue, and you can bring her back tomorrow." The hunter would definitely come to the door and do everything possible to ask for a physical examination of Meng Fusheng (shēn). At that time, whether I have cut off the connection between Meng Fusheng and that side, the hunters will give you an accurate answer. ”

Meng Wei was silent for a moment and asked, "Then, how can I explain to the hunter that Meng Fusheng has suddenly returned?" ”

"Oh? You asked me for Meng Fusheng before, weren't you ready to speak? Prometheus said, feigned surprise

"Well, I'll trust you for once." Meng Wei gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you another day." ”

After speaking, Meng Wei turned (shēn) out of the lobby, and walked out with Ye Ling with a heavy face...

"I told you a long time ago that it is useless to put on a suit for a vicious dog and feed it food to others, and it will bare its teeth and bite at the person who feeds him, the correct way is to give him (tào) a strong mouth (tào), and then use a leather whip to educate him fiercely." A black man, dressed like a priest, came out of the corner and said to Prometheus standing by the prayer platform with a smile, "You spoil him too much, disobedient dog, just kill him." ”

Prometheus didn't seem surprised by the sudden appearance of the black man, and said indifferently, "Where did the vicious dog with the upper mouth learn to bite?" I still like a ferocious dog. ”

"His ambition is not small." The priest said with a flirtatious expression, "Aren't you afraid that he will cause trouble?" ”

"Ambitious?" Prometheus smiled wryly

"I don't think he's ambitious enough."
