The night was getting darker, but the flashy city was still bustling.
Countless walking corpses took off their daytime clothes, changed their appearances, and walked on the streets again, trying to find some souls as empty as them to comfort and satisfy each other.
There were also many people who chose to stay in their nests, pretending to be the kind of person they could never be through a screen and a keyboard, so as to gain recognition and vent their pressure.
Humans were always able to find a way to make themselves comfortable.
But tonight, our protagonists are some creatures other than humans …
It was a cat, or rather, a female demon from hell with the appearance of a tomcat.
Arthas wasn't her real name. Her real name was …
"Kui Moli, long time no see … I almost couldn't recognize you …"
When this sentence sounded, Arthas, or rather … Gremory (also known as "Gimli", the 56th of Solomon's 72 Demon Gods, Duke) was resting on the swing in the park.
After hearing those words, she slowly stood up and stretched her body. "So that's how it is …" She yawned. "In order to win, those fellows from Heaven have completely abandoned their principles …" She turned her head and looked at the 'person' who had spoken to her.
At this moment, in the empty park, the figure standing beside the swing and talking to a cat … was a lion, to be exact, a lioness.
"Yes …" the lioness replied. "But then again, the side you are loyal to … has never had such a thing as moral integrity from the very beginning …"
"Hmph … That's right." Kui Moli smiled and continued, "Then … Atalanta, the purpose of your visit today …" At this point, her tone suddenly turned cold. "Are you here to take my life on behalf of those guys in Heaven?"
"Oh … Even if they really dare to mention that kind of thing, I won't agree," Atalanta replied. "I'm just a mercenary. I don't want to be a scapegoat for some big shots for that little reward."
"I see …" Kui Moli continued. "No wonder your husband didn't come with you …" She said, jumped off the swing, and came to Atalanta. "Your task is just to hold me back, right?"
"It's good that you understand." Atalante replied, "We are all old acquaintances. Let me give you a piece of advice … Let's just talk casually. It's good for both of us. If you insist on fighting with me, not only will it not change the outcome of the matter, it will also make the process very ugly … "
As soon as he finished speaking, both sides fell silent.
If someone passed by at this time, they would see such a strange scene — a lion and a cat, in the park at night, under the dim street lights … sitting opposite each other, facing each other silently.
Approximately a minute later, Kui Moli sighed, "Sigh … there's really nothing I can do …"
"So... you agree with my proposal?" Atalanta continued.
"No, it's just that when I think about what's going to happen next …" Kui Moli's expression suddenly changed, "I feel very helpless ah …"
…
At the same time, in Feng Bujue's house.
"Let me guess …" When Brother Jue walked out of the toilet, he saw a lion sitting on the floor in the middle of the living room at a glance. However, his tone was still very calm. "The zoo was attacked by some radical protection organization?"
"Haha … You're very humorous, Feng Bujue." It was a male lion, and the voice coming from its throat was also a male voice. "But I feel that this sense of humor, regardless of the occasion and inappropriate timing, is somewhat mocking."
"Okay, then I won't mock you." As Feng Bujue spoke, he came to the sofa and sat down. "May I ask what's the matter?"
"My name is … Hippomenes." Hippomenes reported his name and then said, "I'm here to bring you a message from 'someone'."
"Haha …" Feng Bujue laughed. "Do you know the guy who came to bring me a message last time … What happened to him in the end?"
"Are you talking about Zacharias?" Hippomenes continued.
"It seems that you know." Feng Bujue laughed.
"That's right … Everyone knows about this." Hippomenes continued in a rather relaxed tone. "So, the big shots' above 'have changed their strategy …"
Hearing this, a lot of information flashed through Feng Bujue's mind in an instant. "In other words … The big shots in heaven have learned to be smart now. They realized that direct interference won't succeed, so they began to look for a 'third party' … That is, a guy like you … to help. "
"I didn't say anything …" Hippomenes turned his head and said in a self-deceiving tone, "'Heaven' or whatever … It's all your imagination."
"Haha …" Seeing this, Brother Jue chuckled coldly. "I think I know where you stand now. Tell me … what is the message that 'someone' wants you to pass on?"
"Hmm …" Hippomenes turned his head again and looked into Brother Jue's eyes. "'Someone' told you to turn back from the wrong path …"
"Ha! I take back what I said about 'they've learned to be smart.' "Feng Bujue only heard half the sentence and immediately interrupted with a dry laugh.
"Don't be anxious. After all, they are from 'over there.' There are some things that have to be said." Hippomenes continued. "In short, as long as you can turn back from the wrong path … No matter what Woody offers you, they will accept it all."
"Oh." After Feng Bujue heard this, he leaned back on the sofa. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "Okay then … Please tell the idiot who asked you to pass on the message …"
"Hey … It's not good for you to say that." Hippomenes broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly interrupted Brother Jue. "I'll say it again, they are 'big shots.'"
"I see …" Feng Bujue responded impatiently. "Okay, please tell the idiot who asked you to pass on the message. His intelligence is obviously below average, but his status is very high …"
His wording made Hippomenes roll his eyes, but this time … the lion didn't say anything because he was afraid that Brother Jue would say something worse after being interrupted a second time.
"… Ask him, if it were me … I asked him to 'abandon the light and go to the dark side' to be an undercover agent in hell, and the conditions I offered were exactly the same as the treatment he would receive in heaven, would he accept it?" Feng Bujue continued. "When his IQ is enough to figure this out, come and talk to me."
"Sigh …" Hippomenes sighed. "So you don't agree?"
"Isn't that obvious? Do you think everyone is as stupid as' that person '? "Feng Bujue asked rhetorically.
Hippomenes didn't answer this question. Instead, he said, "According to 'that person', if you don't agree, then I have to pass on another message …"
"Isn't it just a threat? What new tricks can a retard like that have?" Feng Bujue guessed correctly.
"Since you've guessed it, I won't beat around the bush …" Hippomenes continued. "His original words were: 'The gambling will eventually end, but your life is far from over. I have countless ways to make your life miserable in the future.'"
"Oh?" At this moment, Feng Bujue's eyes and aura … instantly became like a different person.
Even Hippomenes couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, and his expression turned serious.
"Then pass on my words to him …" Feng Bujue leaned forward and said to Hippomenes in a cold tone, "Tell him: 'Whether it's gambling or life … as long as I'm willing, I can afford to play and win. And you, you will pay for what you said to me today. '"
"Uh …" Hippomenes gulped. "Okay … I'll pass on your words." After he said this, he already had the intention to leave. "Then … today I'll leave …"
"Wait a minute." To his surprise, Brother Jue stopped him.
"Is … is there anything else?" For some reason, Hippomenes was a little scared in front of Brother Jue, a mortal.
"It's nothing big, I just want to confirm …" Feng Bujue said. "A few days ago, the person who passed on a message to 'Shi Long' … was it also you?"
"Oh …" Hippomenes understood what he meant, and he had nothing to hide. "That's right, it was me. But when I passed on the message to him, I didn't use my current appearance. "
"That's understandable." Feng Bujue continued. "Normally, when people see a lion outside the cage, 80% of their reaction is to scream and run away."
"That's one of the reasons …" Hippomenes continued. "Because I didn't want to explain too much to him, I changed into the appearance of an 'angel' that's very similar to human imagination … You know … the kind that's wearing armor, with wings on my back, blonde hair, blue eyes, and a constipated face."
"After you changed, you passed on a threatening message to him?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Haha … That's normal, isn't it?" Hippomenes said. "He's far from the level where people will 'negotiate' with him. So, to him … As long as you use the simplest and most effective way — threatening the safety of his family and friends — you can achieve your goal. Anyway, he won't call the police. Even if he does, no one will believe his story. "
"Then …" Feng Bujue continued. "I'll have to trouble you to change back to your original appearance and take the time to tell him. Just say, 'The previous threat … Feng Bujue has helped you deal with it.'"
"What?" Hippomenes was stunned. "How do you want to deal with it? Before that … Do you know what you're trying to 'deal with'? "
"Isn't it just a retard? Don't worry, I can handle it, "Feng Bujue replied in a very arrogant tone." Just pass on the message. "
"Hey … Who do you think I am?" Hippomenes said. "Even if it's just passing on a message, I'll still charge a considerable amount of money."
"If you don't pass on the message, I'll report you to the referee," Feng Bujue blurted out.
When Hippomenes heard this, his expression changed. "Humph … Don't try to scare me … I'm a third party, and I'm only responsible for passing on the message. I didn't do anything … The referee can't do anything about this kind of thing!"
"Hmm … That makes sense." Feng Bujue heard this and nodded. But in the next second, he changed the topic. "But … Do you think the referee is a reasonable person?"
Hippomenes narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything. I'm just thinking …" Feng Bujue said with a half-smile. "Those guys who 'directly interfered with the game' were all blown up by him with a snap of his fingers. Then, in your case … 'interfered with the game because you were passing on a message for someone else,' what would he do? Do you want me to snap my fingers lightly and blow your balls off? "
"Fine, fine, fine … You win …" Hippomenes paced back and forth in the living room. His tone was full of regret. "I shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess in the first place …"
"Then I'll take that as a yes." Feng Bujue said weakly and stood up from the sofa. "Okay, if there's nothing else … Please go back." As he spoke, he tilted his head and gestured to Ruo Yu's door with his eyes. "You feel it too … The one behind the door has been considering whether to come out and kill you."
…
Later that night, in the park.
"Hehehe …" Woody appeared abruptly as usual. Before he spoke, he let out a wretched laugh. "You've regressed …"
"Yeah … I haven't fought for so long that I'm a little rusty." At this time, Kui Moli had transformed back into a cat, crawling on the ground and licking her wounds.
About ten minutes ago, Hippomenes, who had returned from Brother Jue's place, came here, ended the battle, and took the injured Atalanta away.
After Kui Moli confirmed that Feng Bujue was fine, she was not in a hurry to return.
"Hehe … I didn't mean that." Woody smiled and said, "I mean … If it were you in the past, you wouldn't have fought at all."
"Hmph …" Kui Moli snorted and replied, "You speak as if you know me very well."
"Hehehe …" Woody didn't say anything more about this issue. He just smiled and didn't say anything.
"Tell me, what bad news have you brought?" A few seconds later, Kui Moli asked again.
"This time, it's not bad news," Woody replied. "I just came to inform you that the mission is over."
When she heard the word "over," Kui Moli was obviously stunned.
"Is this really okay?" After a while, she replied, "Feng Bujue's ability can be sensed at any time …"
"This has nothing to do with you anymore." Woody interrupted her and said in a deep voice, "Now that the gambling has entered the final stage, the parliament has to personally step in and strictly check … Even the authority of the referee has been restricted to a certain extent, let alone other people …" When he said this, there was a hint of helplessness. "Well, it's not convenient to talk here. Come back with me first …"
"I …" Kui Moli thought about it, but she still didn't say the names of Brother Jue and Ruo Yu. "Don't you need to go and say hello to 'them'?"
"There's no need." Woody replied, and the sinister smile returned to his face. "Hehe … Tomorrow, I'll personally … visit those two."
