"Didn't that Mephistopheles guy tell you?"

Faced with Charlotte's question, Dracula was a little confused.

- To him, Mephistopheles is Xu Fu.

"That's right, he himself doesn't really know very well, naturally he can't help it, and he doesn't dare to tell others his name!"

"Don't even dare to say His name?"

Charlotte subconsciously remembered the villain boss Lord Voldemort in "Harry Potter",

"You can't be a person who can't even mention his name, right?"

"Can't even mention names?"

Dracula laughed,

"On the contrary, He has many names—"

"In Egypt he was Osiris;"

"In Northern Europe His name was Hela;"

"In the East, He is the majestic and just King of Qin Guang;"

"In Greece he was the taciturn Hades;"

"He is a man and a woman, sometimes an old man, sometimes a young man. ”

But that's just a legend about Him. ”

"He has no image. ”

"He has a thousand images. ”

"He is the Lord of the Underworld, the King of Hell. ”

And Lucifer is one of His names. ”

“......”

Charlotte attaches great importance to Dracula's introduction like poetry, but on the other hand, she feels that the other party is pretending to be 13.

However, he also knew that this was actually Dracula using words to put pressure on him.

But the more this happened, the more relieved Charlotte became.

- If he didn't put enough pressure on Dracula, how could the other party say such a thing?

You know, for a tyrant like Dracula, who once served as the Grand Duke of Wallachia, hugging his thighs is not something to be proud of.

Of course, this reassurance did not alleviate Charlotte's wariness of "Him".

In fact, from the moment Xu Fu revealed to Charlotte the process of Dracula's transformation from a human to a ghost, Charlotte suspected that there were other ghosts at work.

After all, even if Dracula was a generation of heroes during his lifetime, but in the face of Xu Fu, a half-ghost who is proficient in magic and cunning, it is impossible to try to trick the other party in reverse.

- The specialization is different!

But Dracula succeeded in stealing Xu Fu's power.

In Charlotte's opinion, eighty percent of them were helped by other ghosts or gods.

But who it was, Charlotte couldn't guess.

But obviously, this should also be a powerful, time-honored ghost or god. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to trap the treacherous and cunning Xu Fu.

So, when Dracula spoke of "Him," Charlotte was very interested.

For this reason, he even temporarily gave up the operation of "persuading" Dracula to "commit suicide".

Of course, he also considered that it might just be Dracula stalling for time.

But the problem is, procrastination is also good for Charlotte.

So, too, he let Dracula tell the story like a bard, but—

"You're lying to me!"

After listening to it, Charlotte didn't believe Dracula's words very much,

"Death is indeed the greatest fear of human beings, and it is also one of the most powerful rules in the world, but precisely because it is too powerful, it cannot manifest the existence of gods. ”

Charlotte, based on her own understanding, pointed out the loopholes in Dracula's words.

- This point of view, in fact, when he dealt with the evil god, he once told Charlize.

And to this assertion, Dracula nodded,

"You're right! But that's in terms of the normal process of the formation of gods. ”

"So, the process of the formation of "Him" is very special?"

Charlotte understood what Dracula meant,

"Won't you tell me that "he" is also transformed from human beings like you and Xu Fu?"

"I don't know. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Dracula's mouth,

"But His presence is real, and I am being what I am because of His help. ”

"Did you become an undead vampire because you received the help of death?"

Charlotte felt a little sarcastic, but Dracula shook her head,

"You have no idea about power. He does not represent death per se, but the human fear of death, or rather, the afterlife that man imagines—"

"Hell?"

Charlotte frowned,

Indeed, in the myths and legends of all the peoples of the world, there is an afterlife. And in the world after death, there is always an opposition between heaven and hell. ”

And what He represents, that is, the hellish part of all the afterlife. ”

Dracula sneered,

"So, there's nothing wrong with you calling Him Lord of Hell. ”

"Lord of Hell!?"

Charlotte still had some disbelief in her heart.

After all, according to his theory, there is no God, who represents heaven, or cannot be manifested. Correspondingly, Lucifer, the lord of hell, should also be a void being.

And now, Dracula is telling him that Lucifer really exists.

Moreover, the lord of hell in all the myths and legends of the world, or the same?

Charlotte always felt that there was something wrong with this, but he still thought of a possibility-

"Could it be that among the first ghosts to be born, who discovered that they could gain power from the fear of humans, so they chose the imagination of the afterlife as the source of their own strength?"

And as a ghost, if he is not attached to power, he can even spread to every corner of the earth in prehistoric times. ”

Therefore, in the myths and legends of all countries in the world, there will be the existence of hell. ”

"There are also great floods and places like paradise!"

Dracula added, incidentally with a piece of news that shocked Charlotte,

"Actually, the concept of heaven was also created by Him!"

"What!?"

For a moment, Charlotte thought that Dracula was talking nonsense, but remembering what the other party had said before, he somewhat understood,

"How can there be the brilliance of heaven without the reflection of hell?—— is actually true in reverse?"

"Without the hope of heaven, how can there be the horrors of hell!?"

Charlotte glanced at Dracula,

"If what you say is true, then His purpose in creating Heaven was to make others afraid of Hell, right?"

"Yes. ”

Dracula nodded,

"Humanity is afraid when there is hope. If it's all despair, then fear or whatever, in fact, it doesn't matter. ”

"And as a ghost, even Him, needs human fear. ”

Charlotte said in a deep voice,

Therefore, in order to make people fear hell after death, he deliberately created the beautiful concept of heaven - when there is hope, people will be more afraid to hide in hell. ”

"That's right!"

Dracula slapped his face,

"Not because the establishment of heaven requires a vast hell, but the existence of hell must be baited by a heaven of nothingness. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"That's true. But—"

He glanced at Dracula, who was still Gary Oldman, with a smile on his face,

"You're not Dracula by now, are you?"

"What should I call you?"

"Lord of Hell!?"

"Still Lucifer !?"
