Mo Jiangwen yawned and tightened the two chains holding the hound in his hands:
"They ran away again?"
The old butler was standing behind him, holding the other eight chains in his hand, and whispered a few words to the four two-headed devil dogs at the end of the chains that even Mo Jiangwen could not understand.
The five hounds present barked a few times.
After hearing this, the old housekeeper relayed:
"Yes, this is the time when we are closest to them.
"The devil dogs said that those people only stayed here for a few minutes, and they could smell that these guys had never entered the space where we are, but were approaching here in other forms...
"Owner?"
The absent-minded Mo Jiangwen came to his senses:
"Ah, I'm listening to you.
"By the way, why don't you go find it yourself first? I have something I want to do."
The old housekeeper looked at the dog leash in his hand:
"You know we paid, it would be a complete waste if you leave now.
"It's a shame to waste."
The devil dog being led by Mo Jiangwen looked indifferent, after all, it was just like what the old housekeeper said...
They paid.
Mo Jiangwen sighed:
"But I have other things to deal with."
The old housekeeper sighed helplessly:
"You're still thinking about her, right?"
The devil cannot lie about this:
“Yes, I think if you were given a chance, you might be able to go back in time and stop me from getting to know her.
"But when you threw Chen Yun's information in front of me, when you arranged the meeting with her together with the church, everything was already doomed. I would definitely fall in love accidentally.
"It's too late."
The old housekeeper reminded:
"You are a devil, you don't understand what love is.
"What you call love is short-lived pleasure, unnecessary betrayal, endless harm to each other, endless lies, and selfishness that pulls each other into the abyss of destruction."
Mo Jiangwen replied:
"Hell has indeed changed me. In the past, I felt that I had a completely different view of love from those mortals.
"But if you open your eyes and look at this mortal world, you will also notice that their current love view is not much better than the ones we played in hell, but the degree is different.
"And I never met her before."
The old housekeeper asked:
“Then take action.
"Now you can use what you are best at - lies, violence, tricks, poison, or magic. You can all achieve your goals. There is no need to waste your time here. You know how you look now. Like something?
“You are like those girls who fell into fantasy seven hundred years ago because of knights who told stories about adultery.
"The same thing is that you all regard the story as reality."
Mo Jiangwen admitted:
"I know that I am indeed making a mistake. Yes, I should want to drag her into the abyss, cover her up with a sack during the night, and take her back to my pleasure palace in hell overnight, but I can't."
The devil's face showed shame:
"But I just can't do it. If I was doing my job, I should kill her, but this idea cannot even occur in my mind. I am indeed becoming weak and stupid, but this feeling is also wonderful, you know me Be a follower of the path of joy.
"And this feeling of falling in love is the most irresistible experience I have ever encountered in my life. Even the fairy mist of Prince of Paradise cannot compare with it. Of course, the influence of the fairy mist on us can be lifted at any time. Reason, and it’s far more dangerous than love.”
The old housekeeper didn’t particularly agree with this:
"Really? In my opinion, you are no different from those degenerates who are addicted to the fairy mist. You may be even worse. You must not have forgotten how Prince Bliss came to power, right?"
Mo Jiangwen replied:
“Of course I remember, he killed the Queen of Pleasure.
"But doesn't it mean that love is a blissful experience worth pursuing? Even the Queen of Joy is willing to die for it and indulge in the dream of the Prince of Paradise that seems both real and illusory."
The old housekeeper asked:
"So this is what you want, you want to die?"
Mo Jiangwen retorted:
“She is not the Prince of Bliss, and she is almost his opposite.
"Do you know what she's been through?
"She once had a young sister who died unexpectedly, and her brother Ma En also suffered from mental illness for a period of time. During that time, she had to support the entire so-called 'family' that had been shattered.
"Yes, I know what you are thinking. They are all clichés. Who doesn't have some difficulties? There are still many people in this world who are really suffering, and many of them are our own. I have thought so too. Pass……
“Until I saw her.
"It was then that I realized what these few words meant. If you also had the talent to look directly into the soul, you might also fall in love with her deeply. But fortunately you didn't, otherwise I would have to Kill you."
The old housekeeper said:
"I'm glad I didn't, but even with that talent I wouldn't have been able to fall in love with her."
Mo Jiangwen smiled and shook his head:
"You do say that when you don't see it."
The old butler knew that there was no point in arguing with his master about this kind of thing, and now he couldn't listen to anything.
"But you know this idea is fanciful." The old housekeeper decided to start persuading from another direction, "If she were an ordinary mortal woman, I wouldn't even try to raise objections, but the problem is that she is not.
"She is a believer in the gods and Ma En's sister. Although if we are lucky, maybe we will not have any entanglements with him, but this is not the case. Shu Yun made an appointment with me, and it is very likely that Ma En will be mentioned. .
2k
"And your inappropriate views on Chen Yun will drag us into trouble, and it seems there's more to it, right?"
After saying this, the old butler looked at his master calmly.
Mo Jiangwen admitted:
"Yes, she has more trouble than that.
"But isn't that the fascinating thing? When we overcome difficulties together, we will usher in the ultimate joy - what mortals call happiness."
The old housekeeper said truthfully:
"This idea is a bit unrealistic, and you and I both know what the right approach is. If you really want to take the risk of introducing her into the game you call love, then the only option is to let her fall."
Mo Jiangwen looked directly at the old housekeeper and said:
"Then I'd rather stay away from him."
This sentence was so harsh in the old housekeeper's ears.
He didn't even want to admit that the person standing in front of him was the professional and cold-blooded devil of the past. If he could really be sure of this, he could try to break free from his shackles, but unfortunately he was too familiar with Mo Jiangwen.
During his life as a slave, he had tried to escape seventeen times and assassinated his master four times. These actions did not anger Mo Jiangwen, nor did they help him in any way. They only exposed the secrets he had deliberately hidden. Talent.
In fact, it was difficult for him to tell whether his abilities were innate or squeezed out by his desire for life and freedom. However, the result of these assassinations was that Mo Jiangwen promoted his position, and gradually he also He became the devil's most effective assistant.
From then on, he no longer had to worry about his soul being consumed at will, and he gradually stopped thinking about fighting for freedom. After all, his life was already safe after getting here.
People often say that the enemy knows you best. He was noncommittal about this, but he himself was indeed Mo Jiangwen's enemy once, and now he can barely be regarded as his closest person. This dual identity gave him a comprehensive understanding of Mo Jiangwen. understanding.
Even if Mo Jiangwen's personality changed drastically, he could still recognize him.
His master was just crazy.
And it is precisely because he knows enough about Mo Jiangwen that he actually understands that there is no way he can stop him. If he didn't have this damn contract, he might wake him up, but now he is just a slave.
Of course, he also thought about taking the opportunity to kill his master.
Now Mo Jiangwen is addicted to the hallucinogenic poison called love, and has no way to make rational judgments. He should be the most vulnerable he has ever been, but in the end he still can't make up his mind.
It's not that the friendship between them is more important than freedom, it's just that the old housekeeper feels that he can't succeed on his own.
Now that he has been at ease for many years, he no longer possesses the courage and focus of his youth.
So he could only point out the safest way forward as best he could - both for his master and for himself.
"No, I know what you are worried about." The old housekeeper said, "You don't want her to become your kind. Even the kindest people can't keep their innocence when they fall into hell. It won't take long to stay with them and they will be completely destroyed." The environment will determine her character."
This is especially obvious in hell, where few people can withstand corruption.
No power affecting the mind is involved in this corruption.
But when pleasure and enjoyment are readily available, who will work hard for sweet food? When the act of killing can still be respected, who will not regard it as the last resort to solve problems?
The old housekeeper continued:
"And it's not possible to find a place to protect her like a caged bird."
Mo Jiangwen replied:
"I also thought about filing an order, but doing so would just tell others that I have a weakness."
The old housekeeper said:
"You don't want her to degenerate into a devil, but you can't get along with her in the mortal world, so I have an idea that may be a bit unacceptable - maybe you can lure her into degenerating into a devil."
Nausea and regurgitation.
This was Mo Jiangwen's instinctive reaction when he heard the word devil, and his conditioned reflex thought was absolutely unacceptable. This almost meant that he would disfigure his lover with his own hands.
But after only a few seconds, he realized that this terrible idea actually made the most sense.
If she is tempted to degenerate into a devil, she will draw a clear line with the devils who advocate the way of pleasure. Although the devils with a high status in the experience of pleasure are far more open than humans, they are far less than the devils. do.
Any human being who thinks he is moral will reject the path of pleasure.
Moreover, a person with truly noble morals like Chen Yun can still retain most of his ideas after becoming a demon. You must know that there is actually a group of demons in hell that advocate not doing evil. Falling into a demon will not destroy Chen Yun's current ideas. The beauty.
And that can be regarded as a different kind of beauty. Mo Jiangwen also heard that there is an extreme new way of playing in the way of happiness, which is to combine with the devil. In the past, he thought it was just a challenge to his bottom line, but he imagined Chen Yun degenerating into a devil. The appearance of...
Unexpectedly, he felt that he would still love her as passionately as he did now.
"What a genius idea." Mo Jiangwen said, "You have provided me with a perspective other than that of a devil. There is no way I would have thought of the brilliant idea of tempting Chen Yun to become a devil.
"Although it sounds crazy at first, when I thought about it carefully, I found that it is completely feasible and may even be the most reasonable way."
The old housekeeper shrugged:
"I can understand the demon's hatred towards you, but your hatred of the demon is really unreasonable."
Mo Jiangwen said:
"No reason needed.
“But it’s also difficult to seduce a saint into hell.”
The old housekeeper raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"Actually, not necessarily."
Mo Jiangwen looked at him curiously.
He said:
"Shu Yun is back to see me.
"She told me that Shadow went to find her in person, and it was basically certain that he had arranged for people to stop her. Judging from the information she obtained through unknown means, he was probably the person chosen by Shadow.
"You know I don't like the tone of her voice very much, but listening to her talk can also give us a glimpse of the context of this matter. In fact, she doesn't take us seriously at all. You and I are like two chess pieces in her hands. And the one facing her is the shadow.
"She was worried about your failure in this matter, so she urgently increased the reward according to the contract, but she didn't have any worries about her own safety. She was very contemptuous when the shadow appeared in front of her."
Mo Jiangwen said:
"I disdain level V ability users, but I also want to have this opportunity."
The old housekeeper said:
“They are just lucky, and that may be just for their own powerlessness and embarrassment.
"But in short, in my opinion, they have nothing to do with each other. As long as they are involved in the federation, they can't help themselves. So Ma En and us are the pawns in their hands. To them, we are invisible. of."
Mo Jiangwen said:
"For us, mortals' predicament is not important, we just signed a contract with them.
"Nothing else means anything to you or me."
The old housekeeper said:
"It makes sense for our opponents, and Shu Yun is not worried about what Ma En will do to her.
"After all, if he did take action against federal politicians, he would have violated the contract."
Mo Jiangwen said:
"As long as he has any brains, he won't do this. It would be equivalent to giving up the shield that the Federation personally gave him."
The old housekeeper said:
"That's right, so this matter has become a race. Our advantage is that we are still in the dark. After all, you also know what kind of shackles the Federation has put on those ability users. The shadow cannot be sure of Ma En like Shu Yun. The opponent is us.
"And Marn's advantage is that he is a former federal member, and if he wants to, he can definitely find this information before us.
"It's not worth killing him, and there's no need for us to risk it for the sake of the Federation.
"So the best thing we can do is hold him back."
Mo Jiangwen looked at him expectantly:
"Do you have any ideas?"
The old housekeeper said:
"Yes, I have something on my hands that will serve both of our purposes."
