Chapter 066 Three Sentences Fill the World-weary Villain with Hope (Thirty-One)

How can foolish humans, mistaking the Evil God for his followers, make amends and die gracefully? Waiting online, urgent.

When this old fossil joke came to Chen Yunli's mind, he also came up with many suitable answers, which helped him to find a way to cheer himself up in the midst of adversity and prepare himself mentally for the coming storm.

He stared blankly at his "old acquaintance" who was calmly confronting the man in black robes. He had the souls of Psyduck who was pondering the truth of the universe and Magikarp who was stranded. If Chen Qiaoyun used mind reading on him now, he would probably be knocked down by the turbulent waves in his heart.

Perhaps it was because his gaze was too focused and intense, Chen Wenjian, who was about to speak to the man in black robe, suddenly turned his gaze and looked in his direction. When his gray-blue eyes met his, his pupils shrank slightly, and a ripple of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He immediately ignored the black-robed man in front of him and walked straight towards Chen Yunli.

"Have we met somewhere before, sir?"

Chen Yunli: “…”

Even if you're an evil god, this pick-up line is still too old-fashioned.

Chen Yunli put away his "wisdom" and smiled politely, "I don't think so. If I had seen you, I would never forget you, given your beautiful face."

His denial made Chen Wenjian a little unhappy, his brows and eyes turned cold. But the compliments that followed made him inexplicably happy, and the mask-like smile on his face became more sincere.

But before Chen Wenjian could respond, the black-robed man sneered and said, "Judging people by appearance is not a good habit. Sir, if you knew what this guy did in the shelter, his handsome face might become hateful in your eyes."

Chen Wenjian's eyelashes drooped slightly. "The Sanctuary has no written laws that must be obeyed by everyone, which means that whatever we do is justified. Why is it that Mr. Ning and your accomplices monopolizing the Sanctuary's most resources and safest shelters is legal and legitimate, while my actions make me detestable?"

The black-robed man seemed startled by the pressure, and Chen Wenjian seized the opportunity to press forward again. "Sir, times have changed. This is a ruin left after the apocalypse. It's not the lawless world you're familiar with."

The man in black robe was choked and speechless.

While the two were arguing with each other, Chen Yunli quietly turned his gaze to Chen Qiaoyun who was also "eavesdropping".

Unexpectedly, he did not show any strange expression because of Chen Wenjian's identity, nor did he express his disgust and rejection as clearly as the man in black robe, as if he was no longer surprised by people like Chen Wenjian.

But does he really not care? Not really.

As Chen Qiaoyun's brother in his previous life, Chen Yunli speculated that he did not dislike the evil god's believers, but compared to these minor details, he wanted to grasp the main contradiction, that is, to destroy the evil god.

If the evil god dies, his followers will naturally crumble. As long as he lives, killing more followers is just like cutting leeks; one more or one less will make no difference.

Because of this, Chen Qiaoyun could tolerate the evil god's followers in the sanctuary, even hopping around in front of him. Perhaps to him, these people were no longer his kind, but a bunch of autumn grasshoppers that would not be able to hop around for more than a few days.

When Chen Yunli thought of this, Chen Qiaoyun met his gaze as if she had noticed something. There seemed to be a keen insight into people's hearts in her eyes. She saw his inner thoughts, but did not speak. She just nodded slightly at him.

At this time, the argument between Chen Wenjian and the man in black robe came to a temporary end. The former won a great victory. He passed by the latter with a winner's smile and stopped in front of Chen Yunli.

Compared with the cat demon in another timeline, the evil god Chen Wenjian is almost the same as him in the previous world except for his different attire, especially his figure, which is slender and tall, and visually looks like 1.9 meters tall.

Unfortunately, the body that the system found for Chen Yunli was not only plain in appearance, but also thin and small. When he stood face to face with him, the scene immediately became like a prince from a neighboring country meeting a dwarf from the forest. The difference was so great that it gave Chen Yunli a heart attack.

Chen Yunli had to take a few steps back before he could look up at him to an acceptable angle. He spoke in a stranger's tone, "Nice to meet you—what can I do for you, sir?"

First time meeting.

Chen Wenjian gritted his teeth slightly, as if he wanted to chew these four unpleasant words into pieces. But he still kept smiling, subconsciously not wanting to ruin his appearance that had been praised by Chen Yunli.

"My name is Chen Wenjian. You look very familiar, and I'd like to make friends." He stated his purpose openly, so frankly that it seemed like he was telling a terrible lie. "Of course, if you are willing to listen to me explain the knowledge passed down by our Lord, then our friendship will quickly reach its peak."

my lord...

Chen Yunli's veins twitched when he left Taiyangxue. He felt that his two short sentences were more annoying than overcooked chicken breast. He didn't even know where to start complaining.

He decisively refused: "Sorry, I'm not interested in the Lord you believe in."

In any case, becoming a follower of the evil god would never help him complete his mission, but might instead trap him in a quagmire from which he would find it difficult to escape.

"It doesn't matter. My Lord holds the truth of the world. All things are but dust and clouds in His eyes. He does not care about the world's followers or slanders." Chen Wenjian lowered his eyes and smiled lightly. "Since you didn't refuse my previous request, can we formally get to know each other now?"

Chen Yunli was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that the first half of his sentence was about making friends with her. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Putting the facts aside, Chen Wenjian is eloquent, polite, and has a good appearance. Even his status as a follower of the evil god cannot erase his extraordinary charm.

If I didn't know his identity, if Chen Yunli was really one of the people on the ruins, when I met someone like him, I would probably forget how to even write the word "reject".

However, in front of Chen Qiaoyun, he really couldn't agree to Chen Wenjian's "request".

After all, in the eyes of other normal people, he is a follower of the evil god who has betrayed humanity and their suffering homeland. Once Chen Yunli chooses to make friends with him, it would be no different from joining the cult on the spot.

Chen Yunli came here to investigate the abnormal number of humans. He couldn't send himself to the opposite side of the human camp before the investigation even began.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Wenjian.

Although he had guessed the truth of the matter almost exactly when he saw the group of human-shaped black mud and Chen Wenjian who was cosplaying as his own believer.

Chen Yunli calmed down, and suddenly he felt like acting and his eyes turned cold.

"Mr. Chen Wenjian, I hope you can understand. I am an ordinary survivor. My home was destroyed by your Lord, so I will not become friends with evil god believers like you."

Hearing this, Chen Wenjian's pupils dilated slightly, as if in shock and disbelief. He seemed to have not expected that he would have the same idea as the man in black robe and use this idea to attack him mercilessly.

His reaction was quick and intense, almost as instinctive as a knee-jerk reflex. Not only did the black-robed man and Chen Qiaoyun beside him not understand it, but even he himself found it absurd and ridiculous.

Chen Wenjian, who had been able to refute the black-robed man's verbal attacks with reason and evidence, was finally defeated by Chen Yunli. He finally couldn't hold back his polite smile and said expressionlessly, "What did you say?"

The wind suddenly blew inside the shelter.

It seemed as if invisible ice blades were swirling and twisting in the wind, scraping against the surrounding houses, floors, walls and ceilings, making a harsh sound and causing a dull pain in the eardrums.

The man in black robe hissed, and his hands hanging by his sides suddenly retracted into his wide sleeves, as if he was stung by the evil wind.

Chen Qiaoyun frowned and reflexively stepped in front of Chen Yunli.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yunli grabbed his wrist first and blocked him tightly behind him.

He tapped the inside of Chen Qiaoyun's wrist with his thumb, gave him a reassuring look, then walked forward fearlessly and looked deeply into Chen Wenjian's eyes.

His eyeballs were almost completely dyed blue, and his eyelashes were long and thick, surrounding his cold eyes, which were like pools of ice. His gaze was icy and terrifying.

Chen Yunli said, "If you don't understand, I'll put it more bluntly—I won't associate with followers of the evil god."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Wenjian suddenly grabbed his hand, and his bony fingers pressed down on his protruding wrist bones like iron clamps, pulling him towards him.

Chen Yunli felt like a thin piece of paper and almost fell into his arms with his feet off the ground.

At this moment, two hands reached out from behind. Chen Qiaoyun grabbed his other hand, and the man in black robe pressed his shoulders and forcibly took him back.

The black-robed man walked between the two of them, glanced at Chen Wenjian's hand, and seemed to see his true flesh and blood through his broken mask. He sneered, "What? Since you can't be friends, you want to make enemies?"

Chen Wenjian didn't even look at him, but stared at Chen Yunli, as if waiting for him to change his mind.

Chen Yunli remained unmoved. He lowered his head and carefully pried open his fingers one by one, leaving him with a ruthless back of the head.

Chen Yunli: What? Beat me to death? .jpg

He knew that Chen Wenjian must have recognized him as the person in his dream, so he did this with some testing intentions, wanting to see how tolerant Chen Wenjian was of him.

This is very important and directly determines his subsequent style of behavior.

Just as Chen Yunli was about to pry open Chen Wenjian's last finger, he withdrew his hand and chuckled softly.

"Okay, I respect your choice. Not being a believer, not being a friend... You've eliminated the two safest identities for yourself."

As Chen Wenjian spoke, he slowly backed away towards the darkness behind him. A smile returned to his handsome face, but it was no longer the false friendliness and politeness from before. Instead, he released an unbridled and arrogant anger.

He curled the corners of his thin red lips, and only Chen Yunli's figure remained in his emotionless blue eyes: "I hope that when we meet again next time, you will not regret your decision today."

Chen Yunli's eyelids twitched and his head began to hurt.

With his ferocious moves, he seemed to have turned a healthy evil god... into a lunatic.

But how could he know that the evil god Chen Wenjian's defense would be so easily broken?!

Ah, this damn plot setting!
