The protagonist always says he loves me

The flame of light shot towards the two of them quickly, but it stopped abruptly when it barely ignited a loose lock of Augustus' long hair.The ends of the silvery hair curled up and turned into rustling ashes.The flames danced and circled around the two of them, as if they were thinking about whether this was a pious belief?Yeah?isn't it?

The distance between Chen Ci and Huo Huo was less than an arm's length. He was surprised by Huo Huo's actions at first, and then he was relieved.Just like the system that bound him, the rules of this world also have limitations and loopholes.The judgment of the temple murals is only for those who have no pious beliefs. The fire of light will burn the trivial and ugly souls to ashes, but not all people who do not have firm beliefs will be willing to be mediocre, and unwavering beliefs... It may not be Faith in the God of Light.

A person as strong as Augustus who has lived alone for more than 3000 years cannot be empty and weak in his heart. It must be filled with incomparably rich faith and strength, enough to resist the judgment of the temple.

Sure enough, the flame circled around the two of them for a long time, but still couldn't find a flaw, and moved back slowly.

Chen Ci grabbed it.

The high temperature instantly burned his palm, but he, like Bergson a moment ago, would never let go of his hand.Chen Ci ignored Augustus' livid face, moved his lips slightly, and continued to finish the summoning incantation that Bergson could not finish.

"In my name, I call you here—"

"Samuel Albert!"

Augustus frowned when he heard this name, the flame in Chen Ci's palm seemed to sense his shaking, and the temperature rose suddenly.

"What are you doing?!" Augustus lowered his voice and scolded.

Chen Ci was lying in his arms, and he could feel the anger that could not be suppressed by his cold appearance.The murals on the dome that had begun to fade and fade seemed to be awakened by this scolding, and the statue of light stretched out its five fingers and aimed at the two of them from a distance.

"Believe in me... listen to my judgment..."

The sound struck back and forth on the four walls, appearing more majestic and thick, echoing endlessly.The statue of a god who had just judged a non-believer had a more solemn expression, and his outstretched five fingers were twined with light.The envoys around the statue turned their heads to stare at the two of them. Drops of golden liquid leaked from the clouds, and as soon as they touched the ground, a cave was formed.

Augustus swung his spear horizontally above his head, blocking the rain-like liquid.His eyes were fixed on Chen Ci, unexpectedly cold.

"You have to believe..."

Chen Ci didn't have the extra energy to explain, and held Augustus's lapel tightly with one hand, telling him to continue to believe no matter what he originally believed in.If they die now in the judgment of the Temple, it will all come to naught.

Augustus folded his arms abruptly.The devil's name was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart fiercely, and the blood gushing from the wound was telling him——

It was this demon named Samuel who gouged out what was left in his heart, what he most wanted to keep...

And the person in his arms is now summoning this demon.

The rampant anger in his heart made him forget for a moment that he was holding his baby, and the black energy that could instantly devour a living being overflowed from the spear, was pulled by his fingertips, and wrapped around the opponent's neck.

Chen Ci paid all his attention to whether the summoning spell was effective, but he didn't notice that the pansy planted in his ear had been corroded by the black air, and the remaining petals were falling without support.

A black mist emerged from the cracks in the ground, and the devil's breath diffused in the temple.The gods in the dome murals felt their authority was challenged, and the pouring golden liquid became thicker.

pat.

A hole was melted into the spear's edge, and the non-gold and non-iron shaft was also full of pits and pits.

There were three lavender petals lying at Augustus' feet. He glanced at them, threw the spear into the air, and held them firmly in his hands before the golden liquid flowed and engulfed the petals.

There was still a slight gap in his clenched fist, he let go of his stiff fingers, and the petals that were not crushed fell onto Chen Ci's chest.It's still the same as before.

Augustus recalled the black air crawling towards Chen Ci's neck, cast a spell, and the black shot from mid-air to the dome like a barb, offsetting the golden water droplets one by one, temporarily resisting the judgment.

Chen Ci, who didn't know that he had passed through the barrier of life and death, was still paying attention wholeheartedly to the demon that gradually took shape.

The reason why he didn't try his best to stop Augustus from coming to the temple was to get the Flame of Light and then make a deal with this demon.

It was Augustus who told him that nothing was out of the question with the devil.

Bergson proved this with his actions.

"I am calling you." Chen Ci said before the ancient and arrogant demon opened his mouth, "I want to make a deal with you."

The demon leaned leisurely on the black stone platform, not avoiding the liquid spilled from the dome at all.As soon as the golden liquid landed on its robe, it turned black and merged with the ink robe.It raised its eyelids and looked at Chen Ci, "What deal?"

Chen Ci said, "As expected..."

He couldn't believe it when he saw that the entrance to hell was under the temple from the setting, but he finally figured it out when he saw that demons were completely immune to the power of judgment.

The god of light and the devil in this world, the two forces seem to be in absolute opposition, but they actually follow the same inner law.Some mortals believe in the God of Light and dedicate their money, love, and even life to it in exchange for God's blessing and blessing; others make deals with the devil.

Maybe in this world, it doesn't matter who you believe in, it's either one or the other, it's all under the manipulation of rules.Unless someone regrets it... like Bergson.This man, who also made a deal with the devil 3000 years ago, sacrificed his lover's life in exchange for the status of a cardinal of the Holy See.The never-fading appearance, the unattainable status, and the blood-stained years of 3000 years brought him endless pain and regret.There are only a few words about Bergson mentioned in the setting, but Chen Ci guessed more from his actions.

Bergson regretted it, and would rather give up his position as a bishop to get his lover back, but demons are treacherous creatures, and if they want to get back what they traded from them, they must pay a more expensive price than what they got at the beginning.It took him 3000 years to find something that the devil couldn't refuse, and Chen Ci also thought of it after reading the settings.

Chen Ci held the bright flame tightly, and calmly said to the devil, "Return his memory."

The devil said indifferently, "He exchanged a piece of memory for a soul. If he wants to exchange it back, he must pay at least two souls."

"Impossible." Chen Ci coughed and said firmly, "You won't get any souls."

"Then..."

"If you don't agree, I'll break the seal on that stone platform and throw the flame of light into hell."

The devil's face changed when he heard the words, and the robe automatically said without wind, "You...how did you..."

"I know that under the stone platform of the temple is the entrance to hell, I know that the flame of light is a sacred object left by the gods in the world to restrain demons, and I also know that you..." Chen Ci said, "Samuel Albert, yes The coldest and most shameless devil in hell."

The demon sneered, his momentum slightly weaker. "I don't know what to say. Let's think about how to avoid the trial. I think the people around you can't hold on anymore."

Chen Ci looked up quickly, and the golden liquid above Augustus's head intertwined into a thick rain curtain, which almost blocked the dome from being seen.

He didn't know what strength Augustus relied on to support him, but he knew that he would never give up at this time.

He wanted the memory more than Augustus himself.

The little priest and Augustus, he and Augustus, the days and nights 3000 years ago, every minute and every second now, all the memories, he wants.

Maybe the system would ridicule him for his lack of love to such an extent, but he has no way to accept the taste that he can only taste it alone after knowing that he and Augustus have had such a sour and sweet past.

Augustus could live alone for more than 3000 years with these memories, but he couldn't.He wants to exchange it back, if the devil doesn't agree, then he will have to grab it.

Chen Ci squeezed the flame in his palm, and said to the devil, "Even if I die in this trial, I can send it to hell before I die. Do you dare to make this bet with me?"

With one hand on his chest, he laughed at himself, "Don't look at me like this now... I was once baptized by the Pope himself, a trainee priest who was highly expected."

The bright curse seal condensed in his hand, protecting the flame, and drifted unsteadily towards the stone platform.Although vacillating, he was never captured by the devil.

Seeing that the bright flame was only an inch away from the stone platform, the demon shouted loudly, "Stop!"

Chen Ci raised his eyebrows tiredly.

"I can give it to you."

"I want it now."

The demon turned his palm over, holding a small dot of light.The light is dark green, with some hazy mist, like fireflies in the grass in summer.

Chen Ci nodded, and the bright fire suddenly accelerated towards the stone platform.

At the same time, the demon threw the spot of light into the air with a blank expression.

The light spot disappeared instantly in the golden liquid as dense as a cow's hair.

"Augustus!"

Ignoring other things, Chen Ci subconsciously shouted.Demons were never something to be trusted. He didn't believe that the other party would honestly hand over Augustus's memory. Even if the other party did this uncharacteristically, it didn't mean he would forgive them.

Playing his lover on the applause for 3000 years, pay it with all hell.

With a sound of the devil's trombone, the figure turned into powder and burrowed into the stone platform.The invisible barrier that had been resisting the dome suddenly disappeared, and the golden liquid gathered in mid-air fell overwhelmingly towards the two of them.

Augustus withdrew all his strength, passed through the rain curtain, and caught the faint light spot.The dots of light trembled between his fingers.

Chen Ci held his fingers, folded his palms, and pressed them against his chest. "your."

With force from the fingertips, the light spots scattered into dust, annihilated in the heart of Augustus.

Chen Ci lay in Augustus's arms, watching a drop of water gradually occupy his entire vision with incomparable clarity, thinking, even if they were wiped out in the temple trial in the next moment, at least this moment would be complete.

Remember in full, they love each other.

The golden water droplets all over the sky disappeared into the air, as if they had never appeared before.The god statue on the dome returned to its usual appearance, standing high above, not casting a single glance into the hall.Chen Ci stared blankly at the changes that took place in the blink of an eye until someone flicked his forehead.

"Honey, you once told me that only the most devout believers can pass the trial of the temple."

Chen Ci cupped his face with trembling fingers, "You... remember everything?"

Augustus smiled, "I passed the trial, and all I think about is you. Does that mean that I am your most steadfast and devout believer?"

Chen Ci's fingers caressed the side of Augustus' face, the high bridge of the nose, and the thin lips.

"So... can you preach to your believers now?" Augustus kissed his fingertips, "Dear priest."
