Chapter 82: Meet the Demon King
The heavens and the earth suddenly became clear, and the sunlight passed through the gaps in the distant mountains and sprinkled on the sea of purple and red flowers.
The fragrance burrowed into her nose, Fang Xiaoling supported herself, and looked up to see the Zhuge couple who were safe and sound.
"Lord of Light! You're finally out! Huang Yueying hurriedly ran over, "Did you also enter the illusion just now?" β
Fang Xiaoling stared blankly for a while, and after making sure that the person in front of her was not an illusion, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged the other party, she said in shock: "I'm scared to death!" I thought you were all ......"
"Seven is the sea of flowers, the desire to escape, the hope of people, and the fear of giving." Zhuge Liang came slowly, "In the illusion, everything is sad, Liang collapsed several times, and almost died in it." β
Huang Yueying nodded and said, "What my husband said is right, in that illusionary world, I always unconsciously think about everything to the worst side.
If I hadn't seen my husband begging for help, I wouldn't have realized it was an illusion.
Hey, my husband won't look so embarrassed, my husband is the most handsome! β
"It's too much!" Fang Xiaoling got up, her white shirt was dyed with the color of flower petals, "Actually scared me with a bunch of fake thorns, if I hadn't taken a few steps desperately, I don't know how long I would continue to be trapped!" β
"Fear is the enemy of the heart." Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly and said, "If you want to brighten the plan of the empty city back then, one person will retreat from the enemy with 100,000 male soldiers, and it is also reasonable for this." β
"Ah, I know!" Huang Yueying said as if she had a quick answer, "There is still a ...... to borrow the corpse."
Halfway through her words, she immediately covered her mouth, after all, [borrowing corpses to return souls] was a ploy that Zhuge Liang arranged for Jiang Wei and Yang Yi to use before he died, and it didn't seem appropriate to mention it now.
"There seems to be a gate at the bottom of that mountain in the distance." Fang Xiaoling looked at it and said, "Let's move on, it seems that the Demon King is there." β
The three of them walked briskly through the sea of flowers, but after a long time they reached the foot of the mountain, and at the same time as the gate was opened, a huge dragon burst out of the ground, fierce and vicious, with sharp teeth and claws.
In an instant, the mountains shook, roaring at them.
All three of them stood at the same time, looking up at the dragon that pounced on them, but none of them fled, and the dragon pounced on them, turned into smoke, and dissipated.
"It's boring, and it's going to scare people at the last minute." Fang Xiaoling shouted as she walked into the door, "Demon King! We've figured out your routine, as long as we are fearless, you can't do anything about us! β
"Hahahaha......" a rough and loud voice sounded inside the door, "It's been a long time since anyone has been able to pass through the purgatory of my desires, guests, please come in!" β
The three of them walked into the door and were really startled by the behemoth in front of them.
In the dimly lit room, behind the Demon King were a pair of huge bat wings, naked, his upper body smooth and bloated, his lower body covered with thick black long hair, and his feet were like huge eagle talons, clinging to the broken Roman columns.
Fang Xiaoling looked at a pair of men and women tied to the Roman pillars, and suddenly remembered the scene she saw when she first entered the ancient castle, where there were many such men and women.
"What are you looking at?" The Demon King's goatee was stretched to his face, his ears were pointed, and he was not angry, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you interested in this king's pet?" β
"Pets?" Fang Xiaoling noticed that the two humans actually still had tails, the woman's tail was full of grapes, and the man's tail was burning with flames.
When the flame is gradually extinguished, the demon king will use the torch in his left hand to light him again.
At the same time, the woman indulges in eating the grapes on her tail, and with each few she eats, the grapes grow again.
"Of course it's a pet, otherwise how could it be chained?" The Demon King spoke, "Didn't you see it when you first entered the castle?
Those are my spare items, and when the souls of these two pets are completely dry, I will summon two new ones. β
"You...... What the hell are you doing to them? Fang Xiaoling clenched her fists, the ugly appearance of the demon king made her sick to her stomach, looking for such a guy as a helper? It really feels like you're in the wrong place.
"Ah......" The demon king slowly stretched out the fingers of his right hand and stroked the top of the woman's head, the woman had grapes in her mouth, obediently closed her eyes, and posed like a kitten enjoying it, "What else can pets be used for?"
I'm just feeding them.
Human desires are endless, and the more they are filled, the more they need.
They used to be regular visitors to the purgatory of desire, but after a long time, they no longer satisfied the desires that purgatory could provide.
HeyβI still have to let this old fellow work, in order to fill their spiritual holes, I have to keep feeding women the fruit of desire, and I have to keep filling men with a fire of desire......"
Speaking of this, the Demon King suddenly opened his arms and laughed like a madman, "As the operator of the ancient castle, what can I do?
After all, the customer is God, so I have to do my best to satisfy them? Hahaha......"
The Demon King's loud laughter echoed in the empty room, and Fang Xiaoling stared at the iron chains around the necks of the two people, as loose as they had seen when they first entered the door before, and there was no restraint at all.
"Hey! Would you like to sober up? Why are you willing to sink here? Fang Xiaoling shouted at them, "What do you get here?" Get out of here! Stop being obsessed! β
The man and woman didn't even lift their eyelids as if they hadn't heard at all.
"It's useless, in your eyes, they are obsessed." The Demon King giggled, "But how can they not know about themselves?
The chain is just a symbol of a pet, not a restraint for them.
What really restricts their freedom is the desire for desire, which can never be satisfied! β
As the demon king spoke, he brought the torch closer to the man's tail, and the flames "whirred" up, burning in Fang Xiaoling's eyes.
"Lord of Light, say your request quickly." Huang Yueying whispered on the side.
Fang Xiaoling frowned, gritted her teeth and stared for a while, and said, "It's okay, let's go." β
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Lord Light, we have gone through hardships, how can we stop here?" β
"Mr. Kong Ming, have you forgotten the cliff test of the sixth room? The desire to win and lose, to win and to be open-minded, to give obsession. Fang Xiaoling said firmly, "I definitely don't want to ask this kind of guy who plays with human nature to help, coercion, temptation, and demagoguery, I don't know how many people's souls have been harmed."
Working with this kind of guy, even if I defeat those people in Roland Jr. and the Tower, what's the difference between me and them? β
Zhuge and his wife glanced at each other, had to shake their heads and sigh, and the three of them were about to leave, but the door was suddenly closed.
The room was instantly shrouded in darkness, with only the tail of a man under a Roman column, dancing in the light of flames.
"Just human! What kind of place are you supposed to be?! The Demon King roared angrily, "Come as you want, leave as you want?!" β
