Volume 14: The Universe at 23 Degrees Celsius Chapter 5: Beyond the Shadow of Structure (Part 2)
Yes, a professional, Sharis.
As a great demon who had spent a long time in the void and even had his own kingdom of God and was promoted very quickly, Sallys actually had her own unique view on this layered defense line of superstars. Because this area mixed with the will of the planet and the distorted rules was not much different from the kingdom of God.
As a general who was always victorious in the wars between the Kingdoms of God, Sally obviously had a say in this. The young demon had a lot of combat experience in how to completely defeat the other Kingdom of God when the rules were different and they were suppressed. Theoretically, Sally could even tear open the surface of the current Magellan Line, but this was not very meaningful. It was just a small corner of the outermost layer of the outer ring. Even if it was completely destroyed, it would not be one billionth of the total mass. The demons had a huge advantage in population and materials, so they could do such wasteful behavior.
What Li Lin wanted to ask was how to destroy the demigod kingdom that was gradually sinking into self-destruction, where all the magic power in the body was suppressed by the rules of the gods, the people's spirit was stagnant, the overall moral standards began to deviate, and the collective needs began to turn into individual needs. In his impression, Sally seemed to have fought many such beautiful turnarounds.
Sipping the coffee brought by the waiter, Li Lin squinted his eyes and looked at the busy streets outside which were no different from those on ordinary planets. He sat alone in a cubicle on the second floor of the coffee shop, pressing his ears and waiting for Sally's reply.
After a while, as if the new number had some defects, Sally's slightly distorted voice spread from her mind.
"Zi... I understand, sir. But what does cqcq mean..."
"It has no special meaning, it's just a ritual. You know the purpose of this."
"Well, you're going to play with adults, right? In this world with twisted rules, if I try hard, I can really come out and play in my true form..."
"No, I want to find the detailed location and map of the loopholes in the Magellan Line. If you reveal your true form, the surrounding rules will be modified to yours, and the gods stationed there will definitely find out, and my mission will be completely ruined."
"Eh~ Why is that... Then building a temple shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"There is a problem."
After taking a look at the statement in the newspaper, Li Lin raised his eyebrows.
'The establishment of any organization or ritual site is completely suppressed and requires the review and approval of relevant departments before taking action. In other words, this place is completely monitored.'
"There's nothing I can do about that. This kind of world is completely under surveillance and there's basically no way to infiltrate it with related covert operations. This is the type I hate the most, the absolute rejection type. They would rather not have any development than have anyone interfere with their kingdom of God. If they refuse to meet even in person, there's nothing I can do, right?"
"Aren't you very good at war within the kingdom of God? How can you not be able to do anything?"
"Even in war, there are basic rules."
Sallys refuted plausibly in her mind:
"Building a ritual site is not about just placing a few things to summon spirits. You need to know for sure that the god exists and believe in the coming of the god. The same is true for the great demon. If you can summon spirits by just placing a few symbolic objects, the world would have been in chaos long ago."
"Eh? Isn't the world chaotic enough now? I thought it was already chaotic enough..."
"Sir, please don't interrupt me all the time! In short, there is no way to sneak into such a completely blocked place. And I have also locked the place where you are in the void. They are also impeccably prepared in the Kingdom of God. They look very strong. If you want to fight, you probably can't beat them. It feels so uncomfortable. Eh? It's a little strange... It seems that something is not right... Eh... Wait a minute, something is wrong..."
'Huh? What's going on?'
What did you find?
Just when Li Lin wanted to ask, he felt a strong sense of interference in his mind.
It was as if the soul lock between the two of them was separated by some mysterious thing, and an inexplicable hoarseness and tearing feeling filled the soul communication. Even Sally's voice seemed to become intermittent.
"Someone... the source of interference... not a demon... so strange... not any known situation... not the Holy Light... what's going on..."
'Hello? Sally, are you still there?'
"It's safe... There's interference around... The frequency band is strange... Be careful, sir..."
'What? I'm careful?'
What should I be careful about?
The sound in the band became more and more strange, filled with an indescribable anger and irritability. It seemed that Sally had encountered something that made her very angry. The sound coming from her was abnormally dissatisfied and anxious. It was even completely incomprehensible.
However, just when Li Lin was about to ask again, Sally's anger seemed to have reached a certain limit. After a violent shock, the connection was completely disconnected. Almost at the same time, Li Lin felt that the corner of his clothes seemed to be pulled. A human hand that did not look too mature, and could even be said to be white and tender, reached in from outside the curtain and grabbed Li Lin's robe. Then a short figure came out from behind the chair.
"I felt a familiar feeling, but it wasn't... you still lost my things in the end... it was me who was the one who..."
There were fluctuations around .
Looking at the girl who was tugging at the corner of his clothes, Li Lin felt as if something in his mind was gradually shattering, and yet it seemed as if nothing had changed. A special sense of existence deprived him of his surroundings, and excluded all the perspectives and voices in his mind, leaving only the girl in front of him.
He also realized one thing - the moment this little girl with dark circles under her eyes, wearing a Gothic Lolita outfit, and looking as delicate as a work of art appeared, the world around him fell into a strange liquid stillness. As if covered by an invisible water curtain, everything around him became sluggish and hazy. Whether it was the staff who were talking loudly, or the old men who were reading newspapers, the riding monsters wandering around, or the fake clouds and sun created by the sky, they were all covered with a layer of subtle colors.
Only the pitiful-looking little girl sat in front of Li Lin, hugging her knees and looking at his face expectantly. She looked a bit like the cute and charming girl idols that Li Lin had seen before, with a strange expectation written on her face. With such a sinful expression, the little girl held the glittering cocktail in her hand, looked at Li Lin hazily, licked her lips, and then showed a bright smile.
"Are you interested in having a drink with me, big brother?"
“……???”
Who are you?
Looking at the little girl who came uninvited and looked a little tired, Li Lin tilted his head in confusion.
