Ever since he threw the Abyss Chip to An, Alex has found that he has become more and more mysterious and strange lately, in addition to his daily routine exercise, most of the time he stares intently at the Abyss Chip in his hand as if he has fallen into a daze, and sometimes mutters some words that he doesn't understand.

When he asked Chen An why he never got tired of looking at the abyss chip, he gave an inexplicable answer.

I'm not looking at it, it's the story behind it.

Unrelenting, he asked again what was the story behind the Abyss Chip.

A story of self-speculation, he said.

Alex couldn't help but sulk at this, he always felt that Chen An was hiding something from him, shouldn't good friends be honest with each other? Although he understood that Chen An had something unspeakable, if he broke the casserole and asked the end, Chen An would definitely tell himself, but he didn't do it, just because he respected Chen An's choice, and he believed that sooner or later Chen An would take the initiative to confess everything to him.

"Ann, I'll go out to find out the situation, you should be careful yourself!"

The listless Alex simply decided to find something for himself, anyway, it was not the first time he had done so, for the sake of the safety of the two, they had to be vigilant about the outside world at all times.

"I know, remember to disguise yourself well, don't let people notice anything unusual, and passers-by should pay attention to safety, if you can avoid monsters, don't fight recklessly," Before leaving, Chen An gave another careful instruction, and Alex waved his hand impatiently, and then left the camp directly.

I don't know if it's because of the relationship between becoming a god, Chen An found that Alex's violent tendencies began to become more and more obvious, especially after killing the monster, which seemed to be more intensified, which can be easily reflected in his words and deeds on weekdays. For example, the two of them once talked about how to solve the problem of the food crisis, and he originally had the intention of trading through disguise, but now he felt that it was better to directly kill some lonely gods or mortals to obtain food, and when it came to the problem of monsters, he showed a desire to fight, fortunately Chen An dissuaded him, otherwise it is difficult to imagine whether he would really take action.

Although Alex is still the same Alex, Chen An still can't help but worry about his mental condition, and is deeply afraid that he will become a cold-blooded butcher who is eager to kill.

People will be self-aggrandized, and the person concerned is usually rarely aware of this, and even feel that all this is a matter of course, this change is a change in personal concepts, if you want to completely change the behavior and thinking of the other party, it is basically difficult, only the subtle influence may have some effect.

The power, wealth, and status brought by the status of the Divine Favor all tempt the wildest desires in people's hearts, especially for the people at the bottom of the society, as long as you become a Divine Servant, your life will be turned upside down overnight.

In the past, he was hungry and cold, but now he is clothed and fed, and he was oppressed in the past, but now he is a blessing.

Put yourself in their shoes, would you reject this change?

But no one in the world will refuse, let alone Alex, a big boy who is in his youth and frivolity?

Opposition to authority, opposition to restraint, opposition to all traditional ideas, this is a common idea of children at this age.

If the temple incident hadn't happened, Chen An thought that his relationship with Alex would most likely not have been the same as it is now, and as time passed, the two would only drift apart on their own paths, and they would never have been strangers ever since.

Maybe his thoughts are a little pessimistic, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can guarantee what the future will look like.

......

As soon as Alex, who was absent-minded here, walked out of the woods of the camp, he immediately saw three god-like guys walking towards him not far away, and the other party found him at the same time, and he couldn't avoid it.

"Hey, man!"

The moment the two sides met, they were on guard with each other, and when the people on the other side saw Alex's disguised appearance, they seemed to be relieved, and one of them put away his weapon and immediately stepped forward to say hello with a hippie smile.

"Something?" Alex said, pretending to be calm and showing indifference.

"Man, my name is Gorains, and these are my two buddies, David and Haller. The man got straight to the point after a familiar introduction. "Do you have anything to gain in the woods up ahead?"

"No, I haven't harvested a monster since I hunted a monster in that woods the other day, what's wrong?" Alex asked, frowning.

"I see, have you noticed any other strange visitors in the woods these days?" continued the man named Gorance.

"No!" Alex said coldly, shaking his head. "This forest is my hunting ground these days, but I know that anyone has been here, and I have the impression that you are the first people to come to this forest. ”

"Then we're too presumptuous to disturb your hunt. When Gorance heard this, his face and tone changed. "So you've been in the woods all these days?"

"Questions?" Alex snorted.

"No, no, it's just that you've been hunting in this woods these days, and I'm afraid you don't know what's going on outside Bela Oka?!" Golans hurriedly said.

"What's the big deal?" Alex asked, taking the opportunity.

"That's right, recently there were two blasphemers in the Ruiji Temple, and the temple immediately issued a bounty wanted notice to the gods after learning that the two escaped into the Demon Sealing Tower, and now almost all the gods of Bella Oka have poured into the Demon Sealing Tower for the reward of the Ruiji Temple, and the three of us also found here in search of the two blasphemers. Glorance briefly explained the situation.

"I see, I've been here for almost ten days and a half, and I really don't know what happened to Bella Oka, and I want to thank you for the news. Although Alex was already so nervous that he was covered in a cold sweat, on the surface he still maintained a cold posture of rejection. "Do you have any more information about the two of them? I've been going back to the city just as I've been about to sweep the woods again, and if I'm lucky, I'll be able to find out where they are. ”

"Coincidentally, I just have their bounty portraits here, anyway, our brothers are already familiar with each other's appearances and don't need it, so it's better to dedicate it to you, big brother. Cranston pulled two crumpled pieces of paper from his bosom and handed them to Alex as if he were courteous. "Since this forest is your hunting ground, our brother will not bother you. ”

With that, Gorance turned back and walked away briskly with his two companions.

Alex looked at himself and Chen An vividly depicted on the bounty portrait, and his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his throat, and he tried to calm his agitated and uneasy mood, and only after watching the three people disappear from view did he immediately turn around and run towards the camp in the woods.

"Brother Gornans, why were you so careful with that person just now?"

Not long after leaving, someone in the three-person team who met Alex suddenly asked Gorance dissatisfied.

"Hehe, didn't you hear me talking to the other party just now? This is his hunting ground, you must know that not everyone dares to occupy a place in the fourth layer to hunt monsters alone! You two little guys who have been messing around in the first three layers know a fart!" Golance said to them in a disdainful tone. "People like this who like to act alone tend to think very highly of themselves, have strange tempers, and sometimes draw their swords against each other when they disagree, and do we need to offend each other and ask for trouble? What is the most important thing after becoming a god? The most important thing is that you have the life to enjoy the benefits of being a god, otherwise what is the difference between us and those mortal outlaws in the Demon Sealing Tower? So, you are still too young and naïve, and you will understand my good intentions after a few more years. ”

In fact, there are indeed many passive people like Gorance among the gods, and in their eyes, there is no need to risk their lives to go on unnecessary adventures on the premise of ensuring that their living conditions remain unchanged, as he said, only living is the most important thing.

......

After exercising according to the usual practice, when Chen An took a towel to wipe his sweat, there was a sound in the forest in the distance, and after a while, he saw Alex rushing towards him in a panic.

"Oh no! the temple has mobilized the Divine Favor to arrest us!"

Chen An was slightly stunned, and then quickly calmed down and said. "What happened, tell me now!"

As he spoke, Alex recounted in detail what happened to him after he went out, and handed the portrait of the bounty depicting them to Chen An by the way.

"If it weren't for my superb acting skills and success in deceiving them, otherwise the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable once they were sent into the woods to search......"

In the end, the frightened Alex did not forget to boast about his performance.

"I think we're going to have to get out of here and head to the next level. Chen An clutched the bounty portrait in his hand, and said with a very heavy face.

"Why? If I had done the same thing, I would have been able to trick a lot of people into avoiding the woods. Alex frowned. "Besides, the inside of the Demon Sealing Tower is more and more dangerous than the other, and even I can't guarantee that I can survive alone in the next tower layer, not to mention taking care of your safety, so do you want to think about it again?"

"Alex, you have to know that the same trick can't fool everyone, and holding such a fluke will only hurt yourself in the end. Chen An stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. "Now the information about us must have been known to everyone for a long time, with you as a newcomer and a mortal like me, normal people will think that we are hiding in the relatively safe first three layers, so now the search strength of the first three layers is definitely the largest, and once they do not find our traces in the first three layers, they will inevitably shift their attention to the next layer, and at that time even if we want to leave, we will not be able to leave...... Although the fifth layer is much more dangerous, at least we still have hope of surviving, but facing the large number of gods who are searching for us is only a dead end. ”

Chen An said very reasonably, if Alex was the only blasphemer, with his ability to disguise and disguise, he would naturally not be afraid of the temple's large-scale search and arrest, as long as no one could see through his disguise, he would be able to go on with impunity.

The problem is that Alex is not alone, and since he has chosen to go through the hardships with Chen An, this means that his primary consideration is how to ensure Chen An's personal safety, rather than allowing his own individualistic selfishness. Unless he treacherously leaves behind Chen An, his ability and freedom will be restrained in this regard.

"When are we leaving. ”

Alex sat on the ground and held his head in silence for a long time, and finally agreed with Chen An's statement as if he was resigned.

"The sooner the better. ”

Chen An had been quietly waiting for Alex's decision, and couldn't help but sigh when he saw that he had finally figured it out, couldn't he see Alex's hesitation and entanglement in his heart? Of course, he could see that it was precisely because of this that he felt more guilty, in fact, it was indeed he who dragged Alex down, otherwise he would not have fallen into the current situation, but the matter has come to this, and there is no point in talking about anything else.
