Chapter 157 The Guide
Li Muhan, who was originally in a coma, woke up with a sound like a bell. He slowly opened his eyes and found that he was still in the Temple of Baal.
So now Baal is still controlling his own body?
Li Muhan wanted to stand up, but his head felt very dizzy and his legs were weak. At this moment, the sound of the bell came again. This sound seemed to have some kind of magic, which gave Li Muhan the strength to stand up temporarily.
Standing up with the support of the ground, Li Muhan subconsciously looked in the direction of the throne, and he was shocked to find that Bal was sitting dejectedly on the throne. Just like the first time Li Muhan saw Bal, Bal's eyes were empty and he looked as if his soul had been sucked out.
He walked to the front of the throne with somewhat unsteady steps and waved his hand in front of Bal's eyes. This time it seemed to be even more serious than before. Bal did not react at all to Li Muhan's actions.
"I spent all this time collecting souls for you, and now we're back to the time before liberation, right?"
Li Muhan raised his hand in frustration and wanted to slap Bal, but he put his hand down mid-air because the sound of a bell rang behind him. This was the third time he heard the sound of a bell. The sound was crisp and pleasant, which attracted all of Li Muhan's attention.
His footsteps involuntarily moved towards the darkness deep in the temple behind him.
When he was completely immersed in the darkness, the sound of the bell continued to guide his direction. Unknowingly, Li Muhan arrived at the temple of Hypnos. The temple built for himself by this Olympian god was very simple, perhaps because of Hypnos's character.
Looking at Hypnos who was fast asleep on the bed, Li Muhan couldn't tell whether she was in some abnormality like Baal.
"It's not Baal, nor Hypnos... Could it be..."
He began to wonder who was controlling his body from outside.
Ding Ding——
The sound of the bell rang again. Li Muhan vaguely felt that the bell seemed to be guiding him intentionally, so he turned around and immediately chased towards the place where the bell sounded.
As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the Temple of Hypnos, he found himself in the strange opera house.
The entire opera house had not changed much since the last time he was here. There were still only two lit statues, but the statue representing Lucifer Prison was now shining with a black and red light.
"Kid."
A voice suddenly sounded from the other side of the audience. Li Muhan turned around and saw a tall and handsome man sitting in the audience looking at him.
The man was holding a bell in his hand. It was obvious that he had been guiding Li Muhan and finally brought him to the opera house.
"Who are you?"
Li Muhan looked at the man with some confusion. The man looked to be in his thirties and was wearing a well-fitting black suit. Judging from the style of the suit, Li Muhan guessed that he should be from the Special Management Bureau.
"Don't worry about who I am. I can only say that you are really brave. With your limited ability, you still dare to approach Lucifer? Now you are being retaliated against, you deserve it because you are incompetent."
Although the man spoke sharply, his facial expression was very gentle. This way of speaking made Li Muhan think of someone, Lin Ze.
"I......"
"Okay, I know what you want to say. You want to save the woman you love, so you have to make a deal with Lucifer? What does this prove? It proves that you are really incompetent and can't even protect the woman you love."
After saying this, the man seemed to be lost in some memories, and finally sighed with a wry smile.
"But I can't say anything to you about this."
Li Muhan frowned slightly. He had never seen this man in the opera house before. There was no devilish aura about him. He was completely out of place in this opera house. Just when he was about to ask who the man was.
The sound of the bell suddenly rang from behind.
Li Muhan turned around suddenly and the man was already standing behind him, holding the bell in his hand in front of his eyes.
"Look at the situation you're in now."
After the sound of bells, Li Muhan suddenly saw a scene in front of him. On the land that had become ruins, the devil and the man were engaged in a fierce battle. No, after a closer look, it would be better to say that it was not a battle but rather that the devil was unilaterally beaten around by the man.
Li Muhan took a closer look and recognized the man as Sun Yan. The iron rod in his hand was constantly hitting the demon's head in various ways.
"Fuck, he said he was just a white ape spirit!? What's going on?! Ape God!? So powerful?!"
The man holding the bell couldn't help but frown after hearing what Li Muhan said.
"That's not what I wanted you to see."
So Li Muhan began to observe again. Although the demon's body shape and breath had undergone tremendous changes, Li Muhan still recognized it. This was his own body!
"Oh shit! Why is this ape god hitting me all the time on my face and head? What if my face gets disfigured?"
The man seemed to notice this problem as well.
"Indeed, if this gets broken... No! That's not what I want to tell you! You idiot!"
The man slapped Li Muhan in the face.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?! Why are you hitting people?! Even my dad has never hit me!"
Li Muhan covered his beaten face and looked at the man in front of him in confusion. If it were under normal circumstances, Li Muhan would have slapped the other person twice.
But now, for some reason, after being beaten by this man, Li Muhan had no desire to fight back at all except for a lot of complaints.
"What I'm saying is that you made a deal with Lucifer, so his anger has already affected your soul. If you continue like this, there are only two outcomes for you."
The man put away the bell and held up two fingers.
"One, you will be completely consumed by Lucifer's flames, and your body will completely become his flesh."
"Second, you will be beaten to death by this immortal."
After hearing the man's words, Li Muhan fell into deep thought. Finally, he suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted as if he had figured it out.
"I see!!"
The man looked at Li Muhan with a look of relief and said.
"Thank goodness you finally understand now..."
"This ape god is the Great Sage, right?!"
......
The two fingers raised by the man slowly became just the middle finger.
"You're such a rude old man. Okay, I think I know what you mean, but there's nothing I can do about it. Baal's gone off again, Hypnos is hibernating, and now in this opera house..."
Li Muhan said this, and suddenly looked at the man and asked.
"By the way, who are you?"
The man held his forehead and was speechless about the young man in front of him. Why did this guy speak so jumpily and so provocatively?
"I am a kind of consciousness left behind by the creator of this space. You can call me... the Guide. As soon as the demons in this space become out of control, I will appear and help the owner of this space reseal them."
After listening to the man's explanation, Li Muhan pondered for a moment and then said.
"I see. It's probably something like a firewall. So what should we do?"
Seeing that they finally got to the point, the man was so moved that he almost cried. Something that could have been explained in two sentences was wasted a whole episode like that.
