The protagonist always says he loves me

how come? !

Chen Ci looked at the two delicate Chinese characters in disbelief, and his head became dazed for a while.That's indeed his handwriting, and even the habit of drawing out a hook when he writes a word is exactly the same as his.If it was said that this was the contract he signed, why didn't he have any impression?If not, how did the devil forge this flawless signature?

Just as Chen Ci was about to ask questions, his eyes suddenly went dark.It wasn't his eyesight that went wrong, but the whole world turned into darkness.

The black mist like thick ink stretches between the sky and the earth, blocking the sunlight, and the chaos in the world is like newborn.

This doomsday scene made people look pale, and there was a sudden sound of cries, prayers, and resentment.The only light in the garden came from the marigold in the bishop's hand, and the cluster of flames seemed too pale under the engulfment of the black mist, illuminating the bishop's complexion like a dead body.

Augustus enjoyed the boundless darkness with ease.He nodded slightly, and the black mist rolled out of the ground twice, rushing towards the bright fire.

The bishops tried to restore it, but the faith that supported the burning fire had collapsed.The congregation, who were still praying devoutly just a moment ago, lost their minds in the face of the sudden darkness. They just wanted to get closer to the flame of light, and they collided and wrestled with each other, mercilessly...

"Tsk tsk."

The demon summoned by Chen Ci walked to the window, looked at the scene outside the window, shook his head and said, "I don't need to save him."

The black mist surged and eroded everything it touched, the yellow mud turned into scorched earth, and the fence instantly rusted. Only this ancient church remained safe.Black Mist consciously avoided this solitary building, as if encountering a forbidden place and taking a detour.

The demon suddenly moved slightly, and Chen Ci felt a pain in the back of his neck, and he was caught by the window.Chen Ci stumbled to the window, put his hands against the glass window to maintain his balance, and met Augustus' eyes as soon as he lowered his head.

Augustus stood in the middle of the black mist, with his index finger on his lips, and squinted towards the church window dissatisfied.His movements revealed a bit of impatience, but the concern in his eyes could not be concealed.Chen Ci pressed his palm against the glass window and smiled at him.

Augustus turned around expressionlessly and walked towards the bishop.

"It was almost discovered." The devil leisurely circled Chen Ci for half a circle, lifted his chin, observed for a long time as if weighing the quality of the goods, and concluded, "It's nothing unusual, why did he just Did you see it?"

Chen Ci patted its hand away, straightened his collar, "Since he doesn't need your help, then our deal comes to an end."

After Chen Ci finished speaking, he stopped looking at it and focused all his attention on the battle situation in the garden.

For the first time, demons tasted being ignored by mortals.It grinned at the opponent under the cover of the fog, revealing sharp claws and ugly horns, but the opponent only responded when it was blocked from sight.The reaction is limited to pushing it away.

"Stupid human beings..." the demon leaned against Chen Ci's ear unwillingly, and snorted, "Don't you want to know how you are still alive?"

As it wished, Chen Ci went too far when he heard the words.

"Three thousand five hundred and twenty-two years ago, you traded your life to me, Nicholas Atkinson." The demon said leisurely, "You died then."

The devil was waiting for Chen Ci to make a startled expression, but unfortunately the other party kept his eyes down, and was calm as usual even when he heard the news of his "death".It suddenly felt a little dull, and threw out another bait, "In the past 3000 years, your soul has been imprisoned in hell and tortured by various punishments. We put your soul in the mouth of the lava and watched it Twisted into water mist in the struggle; tied it to the cracked canyon, waiting for the sharp sound of shattering; suspended it above the head of the unicorn... every moan of the soul is wonderful."

"Then why did you let me go?" Chen Ci calmly said, "If you enjoy torturing my soul so much, why did you let it leave hell? Why did you give me a chance to stand here again?"

The devil seemed to be choked, and stopped showing off endlessly.

After a while, it sneered bluffingly, "Of course it's because someone made a deal with us."

Chen Ci keenly grasped the loophole in its words, "Isn't it a deal with you?"

"Hmph!" The demon Nicholas Atkinson let out a heavy breath, and rolled his eyes in the black air, "He's looking for me before, so I won't make a deal with him. This damn guy actually found Sasuke again. Muir..."

"Oh." Chen Ci said, "That Samuel is better than you."

"That's not it!" The devil jumped up and said, "He's just older than me!"

The ability of demons grows stronger with age, and Chen Ci suddenly understands what the "resurrection technique recorded in the Dead Sea Scrolls" mentioned in the plot introduction is.The Dead Sea Scrolls are ancient secret books that have been lost in this world for many years, and the summoning spells recorded in them also summon the oldest and most powerful demons.Augustus made another deal with them, calling his soul back from hell.

But why his soul?

Didn't he just accept the mission and come to this world?

Chen Ci looked at the demon suspiciously, trying to get some more information from it.The demon suddenly retracted the teleportation array and asked, "Do you want to know what he traded your life for?"

"What is it?"

The devil laughed loudly, "It's just that I don't want to tell you."

The black air rose, and the light of the teleportation array gradually dimmed, leaving only a faint trace of a hexagram.

Chen Ci circled around the hexagram, stepping on the traces.He had just erased the last corner when he heard the door creak and pushed open.

Augustus stood at the door in a black robe, and asked with a gloomy expression, "Who has been here?"

Chen Ci ground his toes and said blankly, "No...what's the matter with you?"

He trotted forward and supported Augustus's precarious body.The black robe seemed soaked in sweat, and the palms that touched it became wet.Chen Ci strenuously wrapped his arms around his neck and hung them on his shoulders, and he caught a glimpse of his drooping right palm which was scorched black.

Chen Ci carefully held up his palm, put it to his mouth and blew, "Good boy, it doesn't hurt."

Augustus's face sank, as if he was about to get angry, but the exhaustion brought about by the overdrawn force invaded his whole body first.Under a pair of eyes without any malice or contempt, he closed his eyes.
