Chapter 111: New Temple
"Please don't be nervous, we have no ill intentions."
The woman next to me suddenly spoke. Her voice was extremely magnetic and had a calming effect on people's minds.
Although they were on a busy street, no one among the people coming and going stopped to look at the three people who were standing there.
Li Muhan slowly turned his head and looked at the tall woman with long black hair.
She was wearing a black windbreaker with her hands in the pockets. Her captivating purple eyes were as dazzling as the stars in the night sky.
"Who are you......?"
"Is this the demon?"
On the other side, the man also spoke.
He was tall and wearing a jacket. Judging from his appearance, he should be a foreigner. Unlike the woman, he gave people a superior feeling, and a black aura lingered around him.
Li Muhan felt that this breath was very familiar, and then suddenly realized it.
This breath is the breath of Hades, and the feeling of this person is the same as Thanatos.
"...What are you going to do?"
Li Muhan did not bring Fu Jiang to suppress the demon, but he was still prepared to open the realm.
The woman smiled and waved at the tall man.
"Stand back, Charon, and do not be disrespectful."
Charon?
Charon, the ferryman of the underworld?
No wonder he has the same aura as Thanatos.
"My two children are under your care. I am really grateful to you."
The woman's every move is polite, showing an elegant temperament.
However, Li Muhan did not dare to be careless at all, because this woman was too powerful. Even though he now possessed 50% of Bal's power, he was still almost suffocated by the woman's breath.
"He is not a demon, Charon."
The woman walked to Li Muhan and gazed at him gently with her eyes as bright as stars.
"He's human."
Then she lowered her head slightly and greeted Li Muhan.
"I am Nyx, the mother of Thanatos and Hypnos."
really......
Although he had already guessed it in his mind, Li Muhan still broke out in cold sweat on his forehead when he actually saw this ancient god.
"My two troublesome children have caused you a lot of trouble. To make up for it, I will give you a gift."
After saying that, the woman didn't wait for Li Muhan to answer, nor did she let him make any reaction, but gently stroked Li Muhan's cheek with her hand.
Then she softly chanted some ancient spell.
Li Muhan suddenly felt an incredible power beginning to flow into his body.
Suddenly, a palpitation made Li Muhan kneel on the ground. This feeling was like when Baal's power first awakened.
But this time, this power was more domineering and more bizarre, and it was completely trying to forcibly occupy his body.
But at this moment, the woman stretched out her hand and gently stroked Li Muhan's head. At this moment, the feeling that the force was about to tear his body apart instantly disappeared.
He breathed heavily as if relieved, then raised his head and looked at the woman with a puzzled look.
"Your body still holds many incredible beings captive, and I have opened another palace for you. I believe this power will help you go further on this path."
"You...uh, should I say...thank you?"
Li Muhan slowly supported himself and stood up, not knowing what to say. Although he didn't quite understand what the goddess meant just now, she probably didn't mean to harm him.
"You're welcome, kid. I actually have a favor to ask."
Sure enough, Li Muhan knew that things would definitely not be that simple.
"Tell me first, I may not be able to help you."
"Only you can help with this matter."
A gentle smile appeared on the woman's face, and then her hand slowly moved from Li Muhan's cheek to his chest.
"Only the power within you can help my daughter, Hypnos, recover her godhood. Just as you helped Baal mend his broken soul, I, too, would like to ask you to restore Hypnos's godhood."
"Ah? But Baal is in my body..."
"Don't worry, child. The palace within you has already opened. It doesn't need to be luxurious. Please give that child a place to stay... This is my request as a mother. Please."
The woman bowed deeply to Li Muhan.
Before Li Muhan could ask more questions.
She and the tall man suddenly disappeared from sight.
Then Li Muhan felt that the power of the realm had disappeared, but the throbbing in his heart was still reminding him that what had just happened was definitely not a dream, nor was it his own illusion.
At the same time, in the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau, Lin Ze sat at the computer desk in his office, wearing glasses and typing laboriously.
"It seems that I am really incompatible with this kind of modern technology."
After finally finishing typing a document, she took off her glasses and sighed.
Then he spoke to the corner of the room.
"I'm sorry for making you wait for me all this time."
A woman suddenly appeared in the corner where no one was.
"Did you know I was coming?"
Lin Ze stood up, took out a cup from the cabinet and made a cup of coffee, while inviting the woman to sit on the sofa.
"Even though you are the night itself, people in our line of work always need to be more perceptive."
The woman nodded slightly. She picked up the coffee Lin Ze had made for her, took a sip, and frowned.
"bitter."
"That way you can stay awake at all times, right?"
The woman put the coffee cup back.
"You should rest more. Even you would be exhausted if you work so hard for a long time."
Lin Ze smiled bitterly helplessly.
"There's a director who likes to slack off, so I have to work like a slave, right? So, have you met him?"
The woman nodded.
"He's a very special kid..."
Lin Ze nodded, then took out a document she had just typed out and handed it to the woman.
"Your proposal has been approved, but as her guardian, you need to sign."
"guardian......"
The woman looked at the title on the document and smiled helplessly.
"Am I still qualified to be that child's mother? I was the one who caused her to lose her divinity, and I was also the one who threw her into the dream..."
"At least you kept her alive."
Lin Ze handed over a pen.
The woman did not take the pen, but gently tapped the signature position with her finger.
A dot of black slowly spread out at the signature, and then combined into a rune.
"I'm sorry to trouble you..."
After saying this, the woman slowly stood up and nodded towards Lin Ze.
"That's right."
As she left, the woman turned to look at Lin Ze, and the smile on her face gradually turned gloomy.
"Although what I'm saying may not be appropriate, do you ever regret handing this world over to humans?"
Lin Ze put his hands behind his back and raised his feet, as if he was stretching.
She thought for a moment and said.
"This world has never belonged to us. And humans are so interesting. They have created so many interesting things."
Lin Ze took out his cell phone.
"For example, this thing has powerful functions. Do you want to try it? I can give you one."
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then the gloom on her face turned into a kind smile.
"I have."
Then her figure disappeared into the shadows.
After confirming that the woman had disappeared, Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
"These old things from ancient times seem to still have some resentment in their minds."
That night, when Li Muhan was sleeping, his consciousness returned to that strange opera house.
What surprised Li Muhan was that in addition to the statue of Baal, another statue lit up in the audience seats of the opera house.
The strong aura emanating from the statue was completely different from that of Baal. Li Muhan suddenly remembered what the Goddess of Night had said to him.
There are still many incredible things imprisoned in your body, and I have opened another palace for you. I believe this power will help you go further on this path.
Li Muhan slowly walked towards the audience seats, came to the statue, and slowly stretched out his hand as if it was the first time.
But the moment his hand touched the statue, the statue's eyes burst into a scarlet light, and then a domineering force directly pulled Li Muhan in.
thump--
Li Muhan's body was thrown heavily to the ground.
"...Fuck, this is so rude."
Li Muhan rubbed his sore butt and slowly stood up. When his eyes began to gradually adapt to the darkness around him, he could see clearly that this was actually an extremely huge prison.
Countless chains gathered from all directions towards the dark depths of the prison, and these chains seemed to be binding something extremely terrifying.
When Li Muhan stood up and prepared to move forward, a terrifying pressure that almost made his legs tremble came faintly from the end of the chain.
That thing already knew about Li Muhan's arrival.
