Chapter 28: God's Pranks
Sometimes, not dying can also become a kind of annoyance.
ββExcerpt from "Chen Ling's Assistant Diary"
(Although in the Marvel universe Loki is Odin's son, in true Norse mythology, Loki and Odin are righteous brothers, and Hela, the goddess of death, is the daughter of Loki after an affair with a giantess.) Loki himself is truly the blood of giants. οΌ
Chen Ling was shocked by the scene in front of him, and sat on the ground, looking up at the giant in front of him.
"Loki, dead Loki..."
In the blink of an eye, Loki was back to his normal size, everything vanished, and the world was calm again, as if the miracle Chen Ling had just seen was just his delusion.
"But right now, I'm just a spirit trapped here." Loki walked towards Chen Ling step by step, "But thanks to you, my friend, it seems that I can get out of trouble now." β
"Haven't you been dead for more than a hundred years?" Chan was in disbelief.
"Friend, you don't know much about God. Those of us who are actually very difficult to die. As long as there are people in the world who believe in me, as long as there are interesting people in the world who like chaos, and as long as I haven't been forgotten, I won't really die. Even if I had been stabbed to death by Miyu's damn knife, if it weren't for the fact that my soul was trapped here, I would have been reborn long ago. β
"In fact, this state of mine is never due to death, I have never left, I am just sealed here."
"And now, the rain has been broken, the seal has been lifted, and I think I can already leave, thanks to you." Loki smiled gracefully on his face, he picked up Chen Ling, who had collapsed to the ground, and kindly patted him on the soil. This caused Chen Ling to have an illusion, thinking that the magnificent and tall gods he had seen before were just his own illusions, and only the elegant young people of today were real.
"No, it's not me, it's Xiushen who ruined Miyu." Chen Ling shook his head indifferently, everything that appeared in front of him was beyond his imagination, and he was just responding mechanically. At this time, he just wanted to tell Loki all the truth.
"Woman? Hahaha, what can a woman do? Women can only please men, they are only beautiful vases, instruments of fertility, foils for men. All thanks to you, my friend. β
"You picked it up, you depleted its spiritual power, you destroyed it."
"It's you, it's all because of you."
"You've done a great thing, my friend."
Chen Ling felt that he didn't seem to be doing a good thing, on the contrary, he seemed to have released a demon.
Or a demonic god.
"Since God is gracious, then God will not hesitate to reward, what good should I give you?" Loki touched his chin and smiled at the mortal in front of him.
After thinking for a long time, Loki suddenly snapped his fingers and came up with a great idea.
"People's lives are short and boring, confused by financial interests, busy, and only to find that in the end it is empty."
"Then, I grant you an interesting life, your life will be full of ups and downs, and the accidents you encounter are beyond the reach of others in their lives."
Chen Ling shook his head and refused, "No, no, no, a layman like me, ups and downs or something is too extravagant, it's enough to give money!" I'm a lowly mortal, and I can't stand any toss. β
The funny thing in Loki's mouth, and I know it with my toes, won't be a good thing.
"Friends, it hurts to talk about money."
"But you're right. Mortals are too fragile, and it is not good for such a turbulent life to end prematurely. β
Loki thought seriously for a moment.
"Hmm... Then I will give you a body that is in danger of life. Loki's face was covered with a benevolent smile.
"No matter how thrilling your life is, you will not die by an accident, you will not die from a disaster, only when you are dying in front of your hospital bed, death will bring you back to peace."
Loki closed his eyes and bowed his head, as if he felt his own kindness, he was simply the greatest good god in the world.
Chen Ling wanted to say something to stop Loki, but Loki's voice and shadow had already begun to disappear.
"Oh, it looks like my time has come, Asa Yuan has sensed me, it's time for me to go."
"Goodbye, my friend."
Before disappearing, he said the last words of the night - "Life is a game, enjoy it." β
There was nothing left at the bottom of the empty tower, only God's blessing, or rather, God's prank.
Just when Chen Ling and Loki were talking in the mysterious space, Xiushen and Jinbao were worried, looking at Chen Ling who was dying, neither of them knew what to do.
"Sister Xiushen, is it good for you to save Chen Ling, he is not a bad person, he was just deceived." Jinbao, who is honest by nature, constantly begs Xiushen. Although in terms of age, Jinbao is over one hundred and forty years old, but his mental age has always stayed in the state before death, so he always likes to call Sister Xiushen.
Xiushen looked at the big trouble lying on the ground, and he also felt a headache. Under normal circumstances, Miyu's host will eventually be drained of essence blood and become human. But Chen Ling's situation is more special, Mi Yu was broken by himself, that is to say, Mi Yu's absorption did not reach the end, it stands to reason that Chen Ling should have a way to live. But he kept dying, sacrificing his soul again and again and forcibly taking out the knife, so that he was like a candle in the wind, and only half a breath was left.
If you want to talk about Chen Ling, Xiushen really doesn't want him to die, so he followed him at a young age, although he was a little lustful, but he was also hard-working. It's usually a little unlucky, but it's not easy to live for more than 20 years, it's all raised by my father and mother, so it's a life, so I should be treated, but I'm really helpless.
As a demon slayer, Xiushen is very good at catching demons and exorcisms, and there is basically no contact with recovery spells, and this time he came out in a hurry, and he didn't bring any recovery runes, so he was in trouble.
It would be nice to have a professional clergy... Suddenly, Xiushen patted his head, remembering that he still had a junior brother, and as a devout believer, he would definitely be able to restore spells. However, seeing that Chen Ling was like this now, he still had to find a way to hang his breath first, so he took out a spirit gathering stone from his body, and although he was reluctant, he still gritted his teeth and stuffed it into Chen Ling's mouth.
The spirit stone is a solid form after the aura is concentrated, and the aura will explode under the violent impact, but it can also be reduced to the aura to nourish the body, and it is also a very useful spell casting material, which can be said to be a must-have product for home travel.
Such a good thing, of course, is also expensive, just this piece in Chen Ling's mouth is worth more than 100,000 yuan, and it is still priceless.
Xiushen calculated a little in his heart, the loss of tonight and one night is not less than five million, not counting the compensation of this frozen food factory.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiushen was so angry that the three corpse gods jumped violently, damn the teacher, they all blamed him, and these accounts had to be counted on his head.
"Kimbell, do you know where John is?" Xiushen asked, pressing the fire.
Jin Bao nodded hurriedly and said, "Well, he's hiding nearby, I just saw him." β
"Hurry up and find him and see if he has a way, if he can't do it, then it's really no cure." Xiushen said.
Jinbao nodded as he flew out. After a while, he pulled John over.
John looked at the messy scene in front of him, the scattered minced meat, and the broken Miyu, and thought to himself that what the teacher said was really right, his senior sister was really powerful, she couldn't even cut Miyu to death, and in turn destroyed Miyu, and she must be respectful when she sees it in the future.
"Hurry up and take a look, is there any salvation for this big trouble?" Xiushen said angrily.
John lowered his head to examine Chen Ling, and found that the situation was extremely unoptimistic, Chen Ling's body was on the verge of death, and there was not much breath of life left, and he only relied on Xiushen's spirit gathering stone to hang his breath. But if that's it, there should still be salvation.
John raised his head and said to Xiushen: "Although it is difficult, if you want to save it, it is not impossible." β
"Then let's do it quickly."
"Then senior sister contribute, I still need six spirit stones, in terms of quality, as good as possible, I need to set up a six-pointed star array and summon the archangel to come."
"Six? So much! There's no need to save him, even if he is injured at work, I'll just give him a job and send him to heaven. As soon as Xiushen heard that he would have to spend so much money again, he immediately repented. It's never been before in the industry to overspend so much in one night.
"Senior sister, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. This is also a human life in humility, and monks pay attention to compassion, and saving others is equivalent to saving oneself..."
Xiushen listened with black lines all over his head.
"You believe in Jesus, what is the Buddha's teaching, and your boss won't kick you out of the sect when he hears it?" Xiushen feels like he's about to collapse, is this junior brother who doesn't pay attention to routines when he fools people?
"And the Lord said, 'Do unto them as ye would have them do unto you.'" Senior sister, I think if you fall, and Chen Ling has a spirit gathering stone in his hand, he will definitely save you. Moreover, no matter which sect it is, it is a great sin to be able to save it but not to save it, and not to save it in the face of death. John's face was extraordinarily calm and reverent, but it revealed unquestionable firmness.
Next to him, Jinbao kept pulling Xiushen's sleeves, with a pitiful expression, which made people can't bear to refuse.
"Senior sister, it's really too late to be late, if Chen Ling's breath is swallowed, it will be within the jurisdiction of the god of death, and I can't snatch people from the hands of gods of that level." John urged.
What John didn't say was that he had indeed seen the gray robe of the Grim Reaper flickering near Chen Ling.
"Okay, okay, I must be crazy, I'll give it to you, I'll serve you." Xiushen finally handed over six high-quality spirit gathering stones, "You must live him, otherwise you will really lose a lot." β
After saying that, Xiushen left the cold storage, it was cold and snowy, and Xiushen didn't want to stay for a minute.
In the distance, a morning star lit up, and this extraordinarily long night finally came to an end.
