In fact, it was a little early to relax.

Sophie just breathed a sigh of relief, and then a black shadow stood in front of her. Before Sophie could react, a loud slap rang out, followed by burning pain on her face.

The slap in the face was not bad. Sophie, who was on the verge of collapse, suddenly woke up and stood upright in place; And the hand holding the knife had already covered the face that was hurt by the beating, and was staring at the man who had slapped her in front of her in a daze.

Thanadus stared at Sophie, his face was gloomy and terrifying; while the hand that hit her just now had withdrawn from his side, trembling slightly.

Sophie stared blankly at the god of death, and finally lowered her head.

"I'm sorry, Lord Thanadus, it's all my fault! It's all because of me, Shupu..."

"Shut up! Sophie!!"

Thanadus growled lowly, interrupting Sophie's remorse.

"Who gave you the courage to draw your sword against your own monarch!?"

"Ah?" Sophie froze for a moment, looked up at Danatus in a daze, and said, "You said... what?"

"You actually acted so rebelliously against your own monarch! Are you guilty?"

"........."

Sophie has completely lost her ability to speak.

Just that parallel import... my monarch?Am I crazy or Thanadus has been mad by me?

Sophie thought about it with what little consciousness she had left, but to no avail.

That is, when Sophie was racking her brains to think, Thanadus had ignored her, turned around, and knelt respectfully in front of Aaron.

"I'm sorry, my master, it's my subordinates who are not strict in discipline, which surprised you."

…………

Sophie was overwhelmed by the situation in front of her, even if she was killed, she couldn't figure out what was going on?

Thanadus clearly knew that Aaron was a counterfeit!How come...

There was some silence at the scene, and Aaron didn't answer, but looked down at Thanadus who was kneeling at his feet. After a long while, an enlightened smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Of course I won't blame you for my mistake, Thanadus."

Smiling proudly, Aaron, like a broad-minded monarch, slowly walked in front of his so-called confidant, bent close to him, and said softly:

"From today onwards, you don't need to worry about all of this... My angel will naturally hold it tightly in my hand again and discipline me well! As for you, just do your own job well, don't worry too much about it." thing. Do you understand? Thanadus..."

Thanadus still knelt on the spot, closed his eyes tightly, opened them after a while, and replied in a deep voice, "Yes, my master."

Sophie was still standing there, her hands had been lowered from her face, and she felt that she was being struck by five thunders.

He took two steps forward slowly, stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed at Thanadus who was kneeling on the ground, and then pointed at Aaron in front of him, but he still didn't say anything for a long time.

Finally, everything went dark and I didn't know anything.

During the days when Sophie was recovering from her injuries, the weather was fine.

Rumeng Shenchen would get up early every day, and after preparing breakfast, he would play with the flowers and plants on the balcony. The pots of roses originally planted for Yabo Fika had all been pulled out after the war, and all of them were replaced with cactus .

Sophie lies on the bed silently most of the time, Rumeng Shenchen often talks to her, but rarely gets a response; but whenever Rumeng starts to cook her cactus, Sophie always wakes up from her contemplation , looking at the energetic back of the little girl, jumping happily under the brilliance of the early morning light.

She wasn't sad at all, on the contrary, she was in a very good mood.

Sophie admired this quite a lot; as for herself, she was completely stunned by a series of blows.

"Rumeng, you...why are you in such a good mood?"

A few days later, Sophie couldn't bear it anymore and asked first.

"In a good mood? You're not dead, and I'm not dead, of course I'm in a good mood." While watering the cactus, Rumeng Shenchen said, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"Look at my miserable situation now... am I getting better?"

"What's wrong? You don't have any missing arms or legs, do you?"

Sophie glanced at Rumeng Shenchen, lowered her head slowly, and murmured to herself:

"You're right, I'm not dead yet, so I can't give up on myself like this..."

"What did you say? Sophie..." Rumeng Shenchen asked her.

"I said... I absolutely can't let him do what he wants, just let him manipulate me like this!"

"Sophie...I don't understand you..."

Rumeng Shenchen had already turned around at this time, looking at Sophie in confusion.

However, Sophie didn't continue to explain anything to Rumeng Shenchen, she just lowered her head and thought for a while, and then stood up with difficulty, trying to sit up from the bed.

"Ah... what are you doing?"

Sophie raised her head, glanced at Rumeng and said, "I want to see Minos, take me to see him."

"........."

Rumeng Shen doesn't understand why Sophie must go to see Minos, she also thought about trying to stop her; but Sophie is such a stubborn and reckless person, no one can stop her decision living.

So in the end, Ru Meng Shen was still worried that Sophie went alone and accompanied her to the dungeon.

In fact, there are not many prison cells in Hades City. Most people who made mistakes or failed missions died directly. There are not so many people who need to be imprisoned, so there are only a few sporadic black cells set up in the deep underground of the castle. dark place.

Walking in the dark corridor, although there are burning torches hanging on the wall, Rumeng Shenshen still feels that the light is blurred and somewhat unclear; the surrounding environment is very humid, and water drops on the flames from time to time, giving off a "simmering" sound. Zi” sound.

Rumeng's sinking hand firmly grasped Sophie's sleeve, and her neck shrank back.

"There is a strange and unpleasant smell..."

"Yeah." Sophie nodded: "It's just a corpse smell, it's nothing."

Saying that, Sophie ignored her and took a few steps forward.

A narrow black iron door stood in front of her. Sophie stood on tiptoe and looked in through the railing on the door. It was pitch black, and she could only make out sporadic individuals in the corner.

At this time, Rumeng Shenchen began to pull her sleeve again.

"Dead." Rumeng Shenchen covered his nose with his right hand in disgust: "Let's go."

"not dead."

"But……"

"Don't argue with me, Rumeng, you can't do anything else, I'm still very good at distinguishing between life and death."

As Sophie said, she gently pulled the sleeve out of Rumeng Shenchen's hand, then turned around and said to the miscellaneous soldiers who had been following behind, "Open the door."

"Yes, my lord."

A miscellaneous soldier hunched forward, carefully identified the key in his hand, and then inserted the key into the keyhole.

After a while, there was a "squeak", the sound of the door opening.

The miscellaneous soldier turned around, respectfully and flatteringly said: "My lord, it has been opened."

The door had already been opened, Sophie sighed, then turned to Rumeng and said, "Take someone up there and wait for me, I want to talk to Minos alone."

alone?

Rumeng looked at her suspiciously, wondering what Sophie was going to do.

"Then...you have to be careful."

"Don't worry, I'm still a ghost fighter anyway."

When Rumeng Shenchen heard this, he hesitated for a while, then nodded, and led a few miscellaneous soldiers to leave.

For a while, there was no one around; Sophie took a deep breath, then raised her hand, pushed the door open and entered.

Minos sat in the corner with his head bowed. Sophie walked up to him and squatted down slowly.

Sophie felt that she couldn't recognize Minos, and his appearance was even more exaggerated than the last time she saw him.

The skin has changed color, covered with strange-colored corpse spots, the hair is dry and messy, and the light gold color is mixed with some strange gray; the corners of the eyes and mouth are slightly drooping, and the pupils are a little dilated, becoming confused As for the hollowness, even the eyeballs have changed color a bit.

Aaron's blessing was gone from him, and the curse returned to the griffin: it rots before it dies.

"Aaron lied to you. He didn't fulfill his promise." Sophie smiled, and said to him, "Tell me, what did he promise you at the beginning? Dispel my curse on you." Is it possible to give you the power you dreamed of? Or revive your reputation as the Big Three? As long as I die, all of this will be yours... Is that what he said?"

Minos, as if he was really dead, did not move or speak, and still maintained his original posture leaning against the corner of the wall.

"He broke his promise, you should have guessed that he would break his promise. I am the angel of death who masters healing and prophecy! I can gather all the deaths in this world, and I can summon all the dead to return to the sun...you What can you do? Why do you think that Aaron will definitely get rid of me, and then reward you, a meritorious minister, heavily?"

"Look at yourself... the Big Three? Heavenly Guild? Griffin? What else can you do now besides scaring timid children to tears?"

"For something you don't deserve and will never get, you piss me off... Of course, I have to praise you: Yes, you are very capable, you are very capable! Then what? Lost use value, thrown away In this damn cell? Rotten, stinking, and finally reduced to a puddle of mud and a few bones... What a glorious feat, Lord Minos."

Minos still bowed his head and didn't respond; Sophie felt a little strange, so she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of him twice.

The gray pupils are unreflective and unfocused.

Sophie froze on the spot.

"...Are you blind?"

Sophie asked carelessly.

This question seemed to have finally reached Minos' sore spot, and Sophie saw him tightly pursing his chapped lips.

"Master Hades never gave me any promises..." Minos finally raised his head, facing Sophie, his eyes still unfocused: "He just said, give me a chance to take revenge before I die, but I can How far I can go is up to me.”

"What do you mean?"

"I have never had any blessings on me. Everything is just that His Majesty used divine power to stagnate the time in my body, so I didn't rot so quickly... The time limit is the moment I stabbed the golden dagger into your body... ..."

"you……"

"It's a pity... I stabbed the sword crookedly..." Minos said this, and suddenly chuckled: "However, if Sleeping God is sealed, everything about you will be destroyed... At least this, I am very happy."

"........."

"Sophie, this is retribution, death is too cheap for you! And Hypnos, he also..."

Before Minos could finish his sentence, Sophie slapped him hard, and soon blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Sophie had already stood up at this moment, panting heavily on the spot, she had never hit someone with such force that her whole right hand was still shaking.

"It doesn't matter what you say about me, but I... I will never allow your filthy mouth to say anything disrespectful to Lord Hypnos!!"

"If... what I said is filthy... then it proves that Hypnos did not do anything clean..."

Perhaps because of that slap, Minos' voice became weaker, but he still tried his best to say all the words that Sophie didn't like to hear and could hurt her.

Sophie raised her right hand again, trying to shut up Minos in the same way as before; but obviously this time, the swing of her arm was relatively large and touched the wound on her body, and the pain spread all over her body, causing her to gasp Stay where you are.

No no no... I can't be so excited...

Sophie took a deep breath, her chest heaved violently, trying to calm down her emotions.

"I understand that you hate me, but Lord Hypnos has nothing to do with you, why do you hate him so much?"

"...Why do you hate him?"

Minos repeated it, and Sophie looked at him and nodded, forgetting the fact that Minos was no longer able to see.

"Why...for...why..."

Then Minos lowered his head, his voice was very soft, and after repeating it several times, there was no sound, and he returned to his original appearance: leaning against the corner of the wall, his head drooping slightly.

Sophie frowned, feeling that something was wrong, and called him a few times, but there was still no response; Sophie was stunned, and reached out to hold his face to let him face herself, but it seemed that it was useless, Minos Still no response.

The eyes were still open, but because they were out of focus, Sophie couldn't tell if Minos had lost consciousness.

Minos, isn't that normal... the nerves have been destroyed?

Sophie lowered her head and thought silently, then let go of her hand.

Minos still maintained the original posture, because Sophie suddenly let go and lost his support point, his body slowly leaned forward, and finally leaned on her.

Sophie was startled by Minos leaning over all of a sudden, but she was quite calm, she didn't dodge in a hurry at that time, but looked at the man's skinny body in surprise, felt the weight of him leaning on him, and slowly Slow's expression softened, and he stretched out his arms to wrap him in his arms.

Aaron didn't promise you anything... but I figured, I should give you back what's yours anyway.

Sophie didn't think about it for a long time before she figured it out. She carefully lifted Minos up, put her hands on his shoulders, then leaned over and kissed him.

In the darkness, lips and teeth met gently, Sophie carefully pried open his teeth, and slowly inhaled.

Unidentified power was collected from all parts of Minos' body with a terrifying aura, and it rushed up the body slowly and methodically, and returned to the body of the original owner through the touching lips of the two.

The kissing time was not short, and the signs of corruption on Minos' body disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. The soft body skin slowly returned to its proper elasticity, and the dim pupils began to look bright, and gradually you could see the shadows in the darkness. people……

Even sanity began to recover.

Before the dispersal ceremony was completely over, Sophie was sure that Minos had completely regained consciousness. She could see the man staring at her with ghostly eyes when he was kissed, and then reacted quickly, and his body began to move Pull back, reaching out your arms trying to push yourself away.

Sophie couldn't allow Minos to disrupt the purification process, so she quickly grabbed Minos' wrists with both hands, and deftly pushed him against the wall.

Although the curse on his body was being dispelled quickly, the weakness of his body could not be recovered immediately. For the time being, Minos still couldn't move Sophie, so he could only let him manipulate him.

After a while, her lips parted, and Sophie immediately stood up alertly and took two steps back; mainly to guard against Minos, for fear that he would slap herself directly.

But in fact, Sophie was overthinking. Minos had already leaned against the corner again and closed his eyes; it was probably because the process of dispersing was too long, and he fainted from lack of oxygen.

It's a good thing to faint, at least Sophie doesn't have to watch him cut herself alive with sharp eyes.

Hey, it's so hard to be a good guy... How did I make myself look like a female hooligan?

Shrugging helplessly, Sophie took two steps forward and crouched next to Minos again.

She stretched out her hand and brushed his messy hair, revealing her pale cheeks with faded blue.

Very pretty face, Minos is indeed a handsome man... Sophie thought, maybe she really earned it.

Slowly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Don't worry, I will return all your things to you.
