The world suddenly became clear, and the sunlight passed through the gaps in the distant mountains and sprinkled on the sea of colorful flowers.
The aroma penetrated into her nose, Fang Xiaoling propped herself up, looked up and saw Zhuge and his wife who were safe and sound.
"Lord of Light! You're finally out!" Huang Yueying hurried over, "Did you enter the illusion just now?"
Fang Xiaoling stared blankly for a while, and after confirming that the person in front of her was not an illusion, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged him. She said in shock: "I was scared to death! I thought you all..."
"On the Seventh Day, in the sea of flowers, the desire to escape robs people of hope and gives them fear." Zhuge Liang came slowly, "In the illusion, everything is sad. Liang collapsed several times and almost died in it."
Huang Yueying nodded and said: "My husband is right, in that illusion, I always unconsciously think about the worst aspects of everything.
If I hadn't seen my husband begging for help, I probably wouldn't have realized it was an illusion.
Hey, my husband won’t look so embarrassed. My husband is the most handsome! "
"It's too much!" Fang Xiaoling got up, her white shirt dyed with the color of petals, "They actually used a bunch of fake thorns to scare me. If I hadn't taken a few steps with all my strength, I don't know how long I would have been trapped. !”
"Fear is actually the enemy in the heart." Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly and said, "It is also reasonable to think of the plan of the empty city in the past, and one person could repel the enemy's 100,000 strong soldiers."
"Ah, I know!" Huang Yueying said eagerly, "There are also borrowed corpses to return..."
Halfway through her words, she immediately covered her mouth. After all, [Borrowing Corpses to Resurrect Souls] was a strategy that Zhuge Liang arranged for Jiang Wei and Yang Yi to use before he died. It seemed inappropriate to mention it now.
"There seems to be a gate under the mountain in the distance." Fang Xiaoling looked at it and said, "Let's move on. It seems that the devil is there."
The three of them walked quickly through the sea of flowers, and soon they arrived at the foot of the mountain. As they watched the door open, a giant dragon emerged from the ground, with a ferocious look and sharp teeth and claws.
The ground shook in an instant, and it roared towards them.
The three of them stopped at the same time, looking up at the charging dragon. No one escaped. The dragon jumped on them, turned into smoke, and dissipated.
"It's boring. You have to scare people at the last minute." Fang Xiaoling shouted as she walked into the door, "Devil! We have figured out your tricks. As long as we are fearless, you can't do anything to us!"
"Hahahaha..." A rough and loud voice sounded from inside the door, "No one has been able to pass my desire purgatory for a long time. Guests, please come in!"
The three of them walked into the door and were really shocked by the huge thing in front of them.
In the dim room, there is a pair of huge bat wings behind the devil. He is naked, his upper body is smooth and bloated, and his lower body is covered with thick black hair. His feet are like huge eagle claws, holding on to a broken Roman column. .
Fang Xiaoling looked at the man and woman tied to the Roman column, and suddenly remembered the scene she saw when she first entered the castle. There were many such men and women there.
"What are you looking at?" The Demon King's goatee extended to his face, his sharp ears and eyes were wide open, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you interested in my pet?"
"Pet?" Fang Xiaoling noticed that the two humans actually had tails. The woman's tail was covered with grapes, while the man's tail was burning with flames.
When the flames gradually extinguish, the devil will use the torch held in his left hand to light the fire again.
At the same time, the woman also indulged in eating the grapes on her tail. Every time she ate a few grapes, the grapes would grow again.
"Of course it's a pet, otherwise why would it be tied up with chains?" The Demon King said, "Didn't you see it when you first entered the castle?
Those are my spares. When the souls of these two pets are completely dry, I will summon two new ones. "
"You...what are you doing to them?" Fang Xiaoling clenched her fists. The ugly appearance of the devil made her feel sick to her stomach. Looking for such a guy as a helper? It really felt like I was in the wrong place.
"Ah..." The devil slowly stretched out the fingers of his right hand and stroked the woman's head. The woman had grapes in her mouth and closed her eyes obediently, pretending to be enjoying herself like a kitten. “What else can a pet be used for?
I'm just feeding them.
Human desires are endless, and the more they are filled, the more they need.
They were all frequent visitors to the purgatory of desire, but over time, they no longer satisfied the desires that purgatory could provide.
Hey - I, an old guy, still have to work hard. In order to fill their spiritual holes, I have to keep feeding women the fruit of desire, and I have to keep filling men with the fire of desire..."
Having said this, the Demon King suddenly opened his arms and laughed crazily: "As the manager of the castle, what can I do?
After all, customers are God, so naturally I have to do my best to satisfy them? Hahahahaha..."
The devil's loud laughter echoed in the empty room. Fang Xiaoling stared at the chains around the two men's necks. They were as loose as the ones she saw when they first entered the door, and they had no binding effect at all.
"Hey! Can you wake up, please? Why are you willing to perish here?" Fang Xiaoling shouted at them, "What can you get here? Leave now! Stop being so stubborn!"
The man and woman seemed not to hear anything at all, not even raising their eyelids.
"It's useless, in your eyes, they are stubborn." The Demon King chuckled, "But why don't they themselves know it?
The chain is just a symbol of the pet and is not used to restrain them.
What really limits their freedom is their thirst for desire that can never be satisfied! "
As the Demon King spoke, he brought the torch closer to the man's tail, and the flames jumped up, burning brightly in Fang Xiaoling's eyes.
"Light Master, tell me your request quickly." Huang Yueying reminded in a low voice from the side.
Fang Xiaoling frowned, stared for a while with gritted teeth, and said, "It's okay, let's go."
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Lord of Light, we have gone through many hardships, how can we just give up?"
"Mr. Kong Ming, have you forgotten the cliff test in the sixth room? The desire to win and lose robs people of their open-mindedness and gives them obsession." Fang Xiaoling said firmly, "I will never ask help from such a guy who plays with human nature, intimidation and inducement , confuse people's hearts, and I don't know how many people's souls have been harmed.
If I cooperate with this kind of guy, even if I defeat Little Roland and those in the tower, what's the difference between me and them? "
Zhuge and his wife looked at each other and had no choice but to shake their heads and sigh. The three of them were about to leave, but the door was suddenly closed.
The room was instantly shrouded in darkness, with only the man's tail under the Roman columns dancing with the light of the flames.
"Just human beings! What do you think this place is?!" the Demon King roared angrily, "Come when you want and leave when you want?!"
