Origin of all things Arkham

Chapter 268 The Secret of Longevity
It’s over.

It's over, it's over, it's over...

This is Vulkan's only thought and feeling at this time.

His thoughts had stagnated, he could not speak, and he had completely lost even the thought of running away.

As for what Lynn said just now, like a puff of smoke in the ear, it went in from one ear and came out from the other ear, without being understood by Vulkan at all.

It's not that Vulcan, who is a god, is too timid. It's that Lin En, with his blood in his body, suddenly appeared on Vulcan's back just when he felt that he had successfully escaped. , is too... scary.

For Lynn, Vulcan knew something.The story about demons he told the gods was not false.

He really caught a demon that escaped from hell, and that demon really told him about that terrifying name: [Lynne].

From Vulkan's point of view, that was completely incomprehensible.

Not to mention, Lin En really did it. Facing the siege of the gods, with one enemy, all those guys will never return. Even the bloody smell on his body now comes from a powerful god, ha diss.

So Hades is dead, right?

So it's my turn next.

Vulkan's eyes began to lose color, and memories of the past reappeared in his mind one after another. Those who were once glorious and high above, fell bit by bit from the clouds and landed on the black earth, being ruthlessly Floods and fires scorched, reduced to a pulverized and dissolved mud...

"what!"

"I've never seen you being a prisoner like this before, my interrogation hasn't started yet, you're almost asleep.

You are really not afraid!Isn't this mocking me! "

Lynn stood on Vulcan's back, arched his body, and looked at him upside down. As a result, such an operation did not seem to have any effective influence on Vulcan.

Under Lynn's gaze, Vulkan even closed his eyes, breathing steadily, and sat directly on the ground.

This is not what sarcasm is!
Lynn called his name several times, but this guy...he didn't respond at all!
What is that called... non-violent non-cooperation?
Then... Of course, the only way to do it is to use violence. Anyway, Lynn is only good at this.

Then, Lin En drew out his big sword, slashed towards the sky with a diagonal cut, and chopped off one of Vulkan's arms.

Sure enough, it still works.He reacted then.It's just that it's not yet known whether this guy is willing to cooperate.

……

"You finally remember what the situation is now."

Lynn squatted down, lowered his gaze, and looked at Vulcan, who was clutching his shoulders and sweating in pain.

"I think, I should cure you, and then cut you several times."

"No! Don't! Please, please!"

At this time, Vulkan finally "returned to the real world", walked out of his perception when he came to the end of his life, and faced the cruel real world and the terrifying Lynn.

"Hmm~ This is like a cooperative person."

With a flick of his hand, Lynn controlled the roots in the soil to break out of the ground, and pulled Vulcan, who was howling in pain, from the ground until his feet were off the ground. Other roots condensed and entwined, turning into a shape Oddly, the chair with the backrest appeared right under Lynn's ass.

Shi Shiran sat down, and Lynn began to look at Vulcan, who had blood gushing from his shoulders and poured a small puddle on the ground.

"What's your name."

"V... Vulcan."

"As long as you are still named after Voltaire, what are you? Let me ask you, your blood, this, yes, this piece of ground, can any strange plants grow from it, such as dragon's blood grass or something, that is The kind that can grow into a big dinosaur by feeding pigs."

Lynn's question was... messy and unreasonable, without a clue, but Vulcan still understood what Lynn wanted to ask.

Sweat appeared on his forehead not because of pain: "I...can't."

"Then you are useless."

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"

Lynn put away his sword and sat back down again.

"It's strange, say you want to die, you just ran more than dozens of kilometers in just a few minutes, say you don't want to die, you just stand still and wait for death when I come.

But I tried to kill you, and you begged for mercy...

Fu... what kind of demon is coming? "

"Vulkan..."

"Yes! Vulkan."

Lynn stood up, walked to Vulcan's side, straightened his collar thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "You can't do this~ You are kidding me, you can do whatever you want, you can't do this Bully~~
What do you say?Um? "

Lin En patted Vulcan's face, and suddenly opened his mouth: "Speak up! Your vocal cords are at home!"

"I'll say! I'll say, I'll say anything, you can say anything, as long as I know, I'll say it!"

"Hey~! That's right, look at you... If I had known earlier, I would have chopped off your arm, so I wouldn't have to bother so much."

Lin En returned to his seat, crossed his legs, and interrogated a god in this deserted mountain.

"The helpers of Hades, the spider, the fish, and the two-headed demon, did you find them for him?"

Vulcan's mouth was full of bitterness, he really wanted to say no, he really wanted to lie.Because he knows that this is the trial.

However, when he saw the smile on the corner of Lin En's mouth, when he saw the awe-inspiring light in Lin En's eyes, he hesitated, he didn't dare, he could only tell the truth.

"...It's me, I found them all."

After saying this, Vulkan lowered his head, closed his eyes, and began to wait for the inevitable death.

The past is vaguely floating...

"Great!"

Did not float out.

Vulkan was shocked by Lynn's voice.

As soon as he raised his head with eyes full of doubts, Lin En, who jumped up, grabbed his head and shook it.

"Great, great! Hahaha, it's really you!"

Lin En lovingly controlled the tree roots, put Vulcan down, released his restraints, went to the side to pick up his fallen arm, and stuffed it into his arms.

Patting Vulcan's shoulder, Lynn said with a face: I really didn't misread your expression: "Can you find some more?"

"……what?"

"Ah what, let me say, can you find some more... wild gods to come here, come here, come to me, you can make up any reason you want."

"……what?"

"You don't seem to understand human speech?"

"I, I understand! Really, I really understand!"

At the same time as Vulcan raised his great sword, his intelligence instantly returned: "I know what you are talking about, but..."

"Can?"

"but……"

"but?"

Gritting his teeth, Vulkan still chose to tell the truth: "I can't find it, really, I didn't lie to you! There are very few gods living in seclusion in the human world, plus they usually... they are really hard to find !
I have been hiding in the world for more than 100 years, basically living a life of incognito and rarely interacting with other people. During these 100 years, I really only know the news of these few gods, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what, otherwise, when you besieged and killed me last time, you must have found a few more, right!"

Vulkan was dumbfounded, and before he could apologize, he heard Lin En sigh: "Oh...why didn't you find more... If you really found a dozen gods to kill me, then Should……

How nice. "

The regret and disappointment on Lynn's face were not faked.On this point, Vulkan is confident that he will not be wrong.And he didn't think it was necessary for Lynn to deceive him.

and so……

Vulkan's complexion became even worse.

It's over, this time it's really over, I'm afraid it's just wishful thinking to die soon.

Lynn is a scary guy, he seems to like the feeling of killing gods...

"You really don't know?"

"I really do not know."

"Oh, you really..."

Vulkan was hung up by Lynn again, and he could clearly see it on Lynn's face.Disgusted expression.

An expression like looking at something unclean.

Lynn was of course disappointed.

If there are gods to kill, who will collect human souls, that's not the same at all!
The gods... the amount is huge!The quality is also good!

Ever since Lucifer and Lynn met that time, Lynn didn't dare to continue going to hell, doing the kind of thing that slaughtered demons to collect souls.

Lucifer is still quite scary.

Although Lynn went there again last time because of Gotham's one-on-one challenger Gordon, but that time was not a last resort, for a friend.

If Lin En is really asked to go for himself, then he must not dare.The ghost knows what a guy who has been "locked" in hell for countless years and even studied cooking to the extreme just to pass the time will do.

Lynn knew that those eyes, those eyes of Lucifer, must be watching him all the time.Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that Lynn will be struck by lightning whenever he speaks ill of him!

If you can't go to hell, Lynn's lottery draw will be slowed down, and now it's unreliable to rely on kittens to summon demons.

Because Lynn brings out a demon from hell from time to time to kill, and now the demons in hell have forcibly changed their preferences. Cats, now completely have nothing to do with any knowledge and rituals related to hell.

Hmm... I hope there will be no accidents when that guy Constantine uses the relationship between cats and hell to perform rituals.

In short, Lynn now felt that hunting the gods might be a good idea.

Anyway, there are so many gods scattered in the world, it shouldn't be hard to find them.

However, that doesn't seem to be the case.

……

"What should I say, you are useless."

Glancing at Vulkan, Lynn raised his sword.

"Wait a moment!"

"……speak."

"I know, I know the list of members of the sect that Hades bewitched those guys to establish!"

"That thing...is useless, I don't care."

"But you...but aren't you a superhero? Those guys killed a lot of people! Your kind, your compatriots, every one of those guys deserves to die! I'm telling the truth!"

"Hey, hey! Keep your mouth clean, who is a superhero! Are you speaking human language!"

"I, I apologize, I apologize..."

"It's almost there."

Lynn let go of Vulcan's collar.

"Who, what's the name, tell me. There are so many people in this city, how do I know who is who!"

"I have a list here."

"List? You still make this?"

Half-believing, Lynn put Vulcan down.Watch him spit out a large notebook from his mouth.

"I rely on you gods to be so disgusting? You tear off the outer skin and give it to me."

What he received was a notebook with the outer cover torn off. Lin En just glanced at it for a while, then raised his head in surprise.

"It's written on it, is it true?"

"Yes."

Vulcan nodded heavily: "Almost all upper floors of this city..."

"Okay, okay, I got it."

Lynn put away the notebook and put it in his own space.

This is really a troublesome matter. If you leave this issue to the old bat, you will have to go through some legal procedures. If you let Brother Martian handle it, you must quietly use other crimes to solve it, which is not so ugly.If Diana did it...

"Forget it, I still have to let me do it myself. It's the most reliable to do this kind of special thing by myself."

Patting the notebook that didn't exist in his pocket, Lynn let out a sigh of relief: "I'll also make a guest appearance as Chaoying...why are you still here?"

"Huh? Me? Can I go...?"

"Of course... not."

Lynn took out a [Scout Guard] and stuck it directly on Vulkan's shoulder.

"Don't shout, it doesn't hurt that much. Let me tell you, you are not allowed to take this thing out, anyway, you won't die if you stick it in like this. Wear thicker clothes, it's fine.

In the future, there may still be places where you are useful, so you should pay more attention to those lonely wild gods, and when I go to find you, just give me the information. "

Vulcan knew that this thing should be something like a magic mark, as long as he carried it, Lynn would always find it.

but……

"it is good."

He really didn't dare to resist.

Even if Lynn let him go today, he wouldn't dare to take this thing off.

The ghost knows if Lynn lied to him on purpose, but actually used some other method to make the mark.

"Then... I can..."

"Well, let's go."

Holding his severed arm tightly, Vulkan's face turned pale, and he lowered his head to the side...

"Wait a minute."

"You, do you have... what else?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that I have an obligation to remind you that you can't go against what I said, otherwise I will deal with you in any way, and go through the process."

"No! Not at all! Mr. Lynn, please believe that I will never betray you."

"Oh~~ That's good."

Lynn put his hands in his pockets, lowered his head, and smiled.

In Lynn's eyes, it was a modest, warm and friendly smile.

In Vulkan's eyes, at this time, his back was facing the sun, and there was a large shadow hidden on his face. He was smiling like a ghost, his eyes seemed to emit a strange light, and Lin En, who smelled like blood, was smiling like a hell the devil in.

wrong.

When the devil in hell saw Lin En, he probably had no choice but to turn around and run away, begging for mercy on his knees.

As soon as he thought of this, Vulkan immediately found the correct and affirmative reason for what he did.

It's not that I chose humble surrender.

It was Lynn, who only gave me the option of humble submission.

otherwise……

Looking at the severed hand he was holding, Vulkan touched his neck.

"Hades... no... that's how he died..."

"What did you say?"

"I say I wish you well, great . . . Mr. Lynn."

There is no doubt that there is a reason why Vulkan can live so long.
