The whole world knows that I crossed

Neither Izanami nor Ghost Lantern have forgotten that the various conditions they just proposed were just for Bawei and Yato's unresolute opposition. In fact, in this entrustment, or in other words, in the transaction, a decision can really be made Yes, there is always only one person.

The Goddess of Huangquan's gaze fell back on Qiao Wen again.

"As for you... Son of Man."

The goddess's red lips parted slightly, and Qiao Wen was stunned for a moment when she spat out a familiar and somewhat unfamiliar name.

"You have been contaminated once, and you still have the aura of 'there' left... You really don't have to worry about the safety of this trip."

The Goddess indifferently confided a certain secret that should not be known by too many people.

Apparently, as one of the two legendary "Creator Gods" who created this land, she knows many secrets that others don't.

But this goddess, who, like the ghost lamp, has a certain evil taste unique to the residents of Huangquan, obviously does not intend to reveal too much information.

She smiled and winked at Qiao Wen, looking like a little girl who succeeded in pranking:

"Or, even at this moment, you don't have to worry too much."

"After all, even I won't shoot you at will."

Because... this breath does not simply represent the experience of the person infected with it who has been to "there" and returned safely, but also represents the attention and care from "that existence".

To be watched and cared for by such an existence...

The goddess lowered her eyes, and the expression in her pupils was hard to distinguish.

But such deep thinking only lasted for a short moment.

When she raised her eyes again, she was already the goddess of hell with a smile on her red lips and shining eyes.

Izanami looked at Qiao Wen again: "Relax, Son of Man, I will not threaten you to accept our commission in any way."

"Whether you want to agree or refuse, depends entirely on your own will."

The goddess solemnly gave her promise.

Qiao Wen thought for a while and replied: "Can I think about it for a while before making an answer? After all...you know, this is not a trivial matter, and it is a bit hasty to make a decision in such a short period of time."

This request is reasonable, Izanami nodded simply:

"Of course. This matter is urgent, but judging from the time interval between the appearance of those space cracks and the increase in each range and power, if they really pose a threat, they will even evolve into the scene you saw in the prophecy scroll , I’m afraid we have to calculate the time in units of years.”

Therefore, giving Qiao Wen some time to think carefully is not a waste of time - after all, there is no need to race against time.

Thinking of this, Izanami decided that it would be better to give another favor.

The goddess proposed: "I heard from Ghost Lantern that this is the first New Year after you met the Fox God Envoy, isn't it? You also agreed to come to Huangquan as a guest because you wanted to celebrate the coming New Year with him."

"In that case, let's make an agreement like this——"

"You can wait until after the New Year to reply to us."

"It's just that, although you can celebrate this New Year with the Fox God Envoy as you wish, the place can only be in hell."

As the goddess said, she glanced at the silver-haired envoy who no longer showed any signs of wavering:

"Speaking of which, the reason why I keep him in Huangquan is not only to create an opportunity to meet you, but also because of the entrustment of the god he serves."

"--What did you say?" Ba Wei frowned again! "What do you mean by entrusting? Could it be that...you saw that guy Mikage?!"

"Ah," it was Ghost Lantern who answered Ba Wei, and the black-haired ghost had a kind face: "Not only did I see you, but I was also asked to do something very unpleasant—otherwise, Ba Wei, why do you think I would justifiably detain you?" Work in Yan Modian?"

"Even if you entered the underworld in violation of the regulations, our hell still has rules, and we will not use a divine envoy at will because of this—even if you are only the servants of the gods in name."

Bawei was stunned.

"So I was detained in hell, actually..."

——Is it Mikage's idea? !

He couldn't believe it!

Ghost Lantern seemed to think that he was not hit hard enough, and continued to nod kindly: "That's right. It was Mr. Mikage who suddenly appeared outside Izanami's palace one day and asked her to help keep you in hell for a while." .”

As he spoke, he tried hard to recall the situation.

"Let me think about what he said at the time... Oh, right! It's like, 'This matter is about Bawei's life, please don't hesitate to help.' That's it."

Bawei: .........

Bawei didn't know how to react.

His heart is full of peace and joy that Mikage's disappearance for 20 years was not an accident, and the other party is still safe, grievances and doubts about the other party's inexplicable avoidance of him, and the irresponsible bastard god who did not listen to his opinion and acted on his own initiative. The anger that advocates asking Izanami to detain herself in the underworld and not allow herself to return to the present world is incomprehensible...

The emotions gathered at the same time were too complicated, and Bawei couldn't even think rationally for a while.

Seeing this, Qiao Wen sighed, and exchanged glances with Yeto. Both of them knew that Bawei was completely down now, and he didn't have much energy to think about the proposal just made by the beauty goddess Izanah. objected.

...Ghost Lamp, what a scary man.

It's not only scary in his strength, but also in his control over people's hearts.

Fortunately, this person has his own principles and bottom line. Although he is a jerk, he is an upright person after all.

Otherwise, Qiao Wen couldn't even imagine what the world would be like if it were Yetou's father who had the ability of a ghost lamp ==

That's a despicable person who only hides in a dark corner and plots others with countless schemes, how wonderful it is!

Qiao Wen thought ironically.

In view of the fact that Bawei had lost his ability to fight, and the goddess had promised to give him a period of time to think about it, Qiao Wenwen and Yato took the distraught Bawei and bid farewell to Izanami.

The ghost lamp took them to the room arranged for the two of them.

Right next to Bawei, Qiao Wen's room is adjacent to Bawei's, and next to it is Yato's room.

“A lot of similar rooms are actually vacant here.”

Ghost Lantern explained carefully.

"Originally, it was used for the temporary rest of the jailers who had to stay up late and work overtime during the extraordinary period. However, even though many jailers would spend more time, they would still prefer to go back to their own residences to rest, so many rooms were left unoccupied. come down."

"It was also suggested that they be used for other purposes, but Yan Modian itself is very spacious, and each work department has its own office area, and there is no need to expand the scope for the time being, and there is no need to make a lot of construction work, so these rooms are Keep it as it is, just do some cleaning and tidying up on a regular basis - don't worry about this, I know that you have accepted Izanami's invitation, I have specially asked someone to do a thorough cleaning of these two rooms before, you guys You can stay at ease."

While speaking, he had already arrived at the door of the room. Ghost Lantern handed over the keys to Qiao Wenwen and Yato respectively, and then said goodbye to the three of them politely, and went back to Yan Modian to continue to deal with official duties—yes, even though it was almost early morning at this moment At three o'clock, His Excellency, the assistant officer of King Yan Mo, completed the entrustment of Izanah, the goddess of beauty. He didn't choose to go back to his room to rest at the first time, but was going to stay up late and work overtime!

What a frenzied workaholic...

Qiao Wen sighed.

Together with Yeto, he dragged Ba Wei into the room in the middle that belonged to Qiao Wen.

As soon as he entered the door, Bawei's dejected appearance, as if he had completely given up thinking, disappeared.

Yaohu snorted softly, looked at the furnishings in the room, and found that the layout was roughly the same as the one he lived in, so he changed his shoes at the entrance, swaggered into the living room, and sat down at the table.

Qiao Wen and Yato also followed into the living room.

"Bring out Yuying to poke my weak spot..." Ba Wei didn't have the heart to say anything else when he saw the two people coming in, but came up with a sneer smile and said, "Do you think I'm really so easily influenced? It's too Underestimate me, Lord Bawei!"

Qiao Wen and Yato looked at each other, and wisely did not express any opinion on this.

"However, this also shows that at least half of what Izanami said is serious - what she said requires Qiao Wen to make a judgment based on her own will, without any influence, which probably includes me ?”

That's why I want to interrupt Ba Wei's next speech and let him divert his attention.

Qiao Wen thought that Bawei would warn him that he must never agree to the commission of the goddess, but who would have thought that Yaohu just sneered twice and did not continue this topic.

He turned to look at Ye Dou: "What's the matter with you? Is it okay to come to Huangquan like this? Are you afraid that that guy will take the opportunity to do something to that little girl in your family? And you didn't even bring the magic weapon? Forget about that guy What was ever done to your artifact?"

Yetou's face froze slightly.

"Before I came, I asked Xiaofu to help take care of Gu Rihe and Xueyin."

He said.

Bawei frowned, "No matter how outsiders look after you, how can it be more reassuring than you personally guarding? You have also seen the current situation. No matter what we think, Qiao Wen and I will not be able to leave here in a short time."

But Yato is different.

He can freely choose to leave, and I believe that neither Izanami nor Ghost Lamp will embarrass him.

Yato was not so easy to take the bait.

He frowned and looked at Ba Wei: "You want to dismiss me? What are you trying to hide?"

The fox didn't answer.

Yato ruffled his black hair irritably.

"Ah! I'm so annoying!"

He seems to be talking to himself, but also seems to be complaining to Bawei.

"Qiao Wen too, and you too, why are you so self-assertive! Is there anything you can't say to me? Why do you have to be so secretive! What is there to hide? Isn't it..."

Ye Dou paused, raised his eyes, and looked sharply at the demon fox:

"Is it... related to that person?"

Bawei still didn't answer.

But he also did not deny it.

That is... the default?

Yato widened his eyes for a moment.

"You came to hell because of him? Izanami told me that someone was trying to break the body of King Era, and that person was also him? That's why you were lured to hell..."

It turned out to be the case.

Everything makes sense.

At this moment, Yato felt both enlightened and a little dazed.

Seeing his slightly absent-minded appearance, Bawei sighed indiscernibly.

"Just because I don't want to see you looking so useless, I don't want to say anything."

The demon fox said angrily.

"Although that guy is a complete scumbag himself, and tried to brainwash you with his messy theories, and used you to do so many outrageous things, but to you, he is the father who gave birth to you , that guy has touched my bottom line, between him and me, there is almost endless death... Would it be better for you to be caught in the middle?"

"You won't stand on his side, because you are no longer the evil god who didn't distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, and lived under his cover."

"But I also don't think you'll be on my side—can you kill him?"

"So, not involving you in my personal grievances with him is the best way I can think of."

At the end of Bawei's speech, his tone gradually softened.

"So, go back to the present world, Yato."

Because, here...

There is no room for your intervention.
