Zhao Kongcheng felt as if he was about to explode with anger.
"Me! You still ask me who I am? I'm the innocent victim who was deceived by you last night and had to stand in the cold wind for half the night!"
Zhao Kongcheng tightly gripped Lin Qiye's hand, like an innocent uncle afraid of his boyfriend being snatched away by others. "I'm telling you, don't play dumb with me. You definitely can't run away today!"
Lin Qiye looked at his locked arm, gave up the futile struggle, and looked like he was at the other's mercy.
"All right, then tell me, where do you want to talk?"
"Come with me."
Zhao Kongcheng held Lin Qiye's hand like this and strode towards an unknown direction...
When Lin Qiye saw that he was gradually approaching a lovers' hotel, his face suddenly changed, and he turned his head and tried to flee the scene!
However, Zhao Kongcheng didn't give him this chance at all. He grabbed him even more tightly and dragged him towards the hotel.
"You... What do you want to do? I'm telling you, I have hemorrhoids. Don't do anything crazy...!"
"…What's in the minds of you high school boys? We're just going to find a place to chat."
"Do we need to go to a lovers' hotel to chat? Haven't you seen the looks on the people along the way? I'm so embarrassed!"
"What do you know? This is a safe house. I brought you here for no other reason. Besides, do I look like... like that kind of person?!"
Zhao Kongcheng rolled his eyes, dragged the struggling Lin Qiye to the front desk, and threw an extremely greasy flirtatious look at the stunned female clerk at the front desk.
"One dynamic passion-themed queen-sized bed room, thank you."
Lin Qiye: ...
The female clerk was directly stunned on the spot. After a brief moment of mental shutdown, she became inexplicably excited!
"Okay, okay, sir. We need your ID here, and this little... little comrade, please show your ID as well."
Lin Qiye, who was forced to hand over his ID, looked at the excited female clerk in a strange way. He didn't know what kind of yaoi plot she was imagining in her head...
But it couldn't be blamed on her. In the middle of the night, a middle-aged man forcefully dragged a teenager to a lovers' hotel to book a queen-sized bed room, and it was a dynamic "gay" passion suite. Saying they were going to chat... Who would believe it?!
"Here's your room card. The room is 3966. I wish you two... a pleasant stay!" The female clerk smiled and looked at Lin Qiye, who looked like a submissive, and her eyes almost narrowed into a slit.
Lin Qiye's fists clenched.
"What are you standing there for? Come with me upstairs." Zhao Kongcheng pulled Lin Qiye towards the elevator.
When they swiped the card and entered the room, Lin Qiye, who was innocent, finally realized that rich people really knew how to have fun...
It was indeed very passionate!
Zhao Kongcheng locked the door, then let go of Lin Qiye, walked straight to the electric bed and sat down. His stiff body finally relaxed.
"Don't be so nervous. We're really just here to chat." Zhao Kongcheng saw Lin Qiye's on-guard expression and cursed with a smile.
Lin Qiye let out a sigh and sat on the sofa by the door. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Of course, I want to talk about you."
"Lin Qiye, male, 17 years old, single, 175 cm tall, weight..."
"You know that's not what I mean." Zhao Kongcheng supported his forehead with one hand and pointed at Lin Qiye's eyes with the other. "I'm talking about your eyes."
Lin Qiye fell silent.
"Have you met Michael?"
Upon hearing this sentence, Lin Qiye's body trembled slightly. After hesitating for a long time, he nodded gently.
Sure enough, the man in front of him knew a lot of things, and the power behind him... was definitely not simple!
And this sentence also revealed an important piece of information to Lin Qiye, that is, the Seraphim he saw ten years ago was actually the renowned King of Angels, Michael.
Seeing Lin Qiye nod, Zhao Kongcheng finally felt relieved, and his gaze towards Lin Qiye gradually became eager.
"Why did He choose you? What did He say to you? How far can you use the Forbidden Ruins now?"
Zhao Kongcheng's questions came like a rapid-fire. Lin Qiye frowned slightly and shook his head.
"You have too many questions."
Zhao Kongcheng also realized that he had been a bit out of line and gave a dry laugh. "You're right. You must have a lot of doubts in your heart now. Then let me answer them for you first. Ask me whatever you want to know."
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, looked into Zhao Kongcheng's eyes, and asked the first question: "In this world... do the gods in mythology really exist?"
"They do." Zhao Kongcheng didn't hesitate and nodded directly. "But not all gods exist."
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Kongcheng fell into thought, as if thinking about where to start. "What do you think mythology is?"
Lin Qiye thought for a while. "Is it the spiritual sustenance of the ancients? Is it the fear and fantasy of the unknown forces of nature?"
"You're right." Zhao Kongcheng nodded. "Until a hundred years ago, everyone thought so."
"A hundred years ago?"
"Exactly. Before that fog appeared, there had never been any trace of gods in this world." Zhao Kongcheng squinted his eyes slightly. "However, since that fog that covered the Earth appeared, everything... seems to have changed.
In September 1922, a year after the fog appeared, a certain fog exploration team sent by Daxia observed an extremely large dragon slowly flying in the sky in the Mariana Trench. That was the first time in human history that a mythical creature was observed.
After research and verification, that dragon was the Leviathan, the dragon of chaos in the Bible. It was said to be a creature created by God. The discovery of this huge dragon directly subverted the cognition of the entire Daxia's high-level. They realized that since this fog, the world had become completely different from what it used to be.
At that time, the fog had just appeared, and the entire Daxia was in a panic. In order to maintain national stability, the high-level concealed the results of this exploration.
As the first mythical creature observed by humans, the Leviathan, the dragon of chaos, was assigned the code number 001 by the Daxia high-level. During the subsequent exploration process, some other mythical creatures were discovered one after another, and the numbering continued.
The Seraphim Michael you saw was the third mythical creature observed by humans in 1928, with the code number 003."
"1928?" Lin Qiye was taken aback. "At that time, we hadn't mastered the technology to land on the Moon, right? How did they find the Seraphim on the Moon?"
"We didn't find Him." Zhao Kongcheng shook his head. "In March 1928, a beam of golden sword light emitted from the Moon, passed through the universe, and leveled a large volcano in North America. Only then did we know that there was a god on the Moon."
"North America? What was there?"
"Later, our exploration team spent a year reaching that volcano. In the ruins, they discovered the No. 004 god sealed in the Divine Ruins..."
Zhao Kongcheng paused and continued, "The Fallen Angel, Lucifer."
