Chapter 004 The Coming of the Gods (IV)
"Since you just came out of the door, there are some things you may not know."
At this moment, Kale was half leaning against the piano and standing relaxed, not realizing that he had just said something extraordinary.
Just like what was revealed in his eyes before, he was a beast that followed his instincts and embraced his desires - whether it was love, killing, or any other desire, he accepted it happily without any shame.
If such a nature that pursued happiness openly was paired with a face that was so handsome that it was weird, it would probably be like a whirlpool that spun wildly, causing everyone who approached him to lose their minds and collapse.
Fortunately, the other party was still relatively eccentric.
Fortunately, the face he used was extremely ordinary.
Dong Jin ignored the other party's excessive preference for straightforwardness, sat back on the piano stool and motioned Kale to continue.
"This hotel, through the door, gathers villains from different universes, different time and space, and different races."
After Dong Jin heard this and looked at him again, he smiled faintly:
"Of course, I don't think I have done anything unforgivable. You know, I'm just chasing fun."
"As long as it makes me happy, everything else doesn't matter."
An arrogant, willful, and extremely self-centered pleasure offender.
Just after updating Kale's information in his mind, Dong Jin heard him ask: "Dong Jin, what did you do?"
In response, Dong Jin also smiled back.
Unlike Kale's indifferent and empty smile, Dong Jin's smile was very plain. But this calmness, set off by the scarlet lines at the corners of his mouth, instead had an indescribable sense of strangeness.
Especially when Kale heard what Dong Jin said, his unique beauty instantly surged over him:
"What are you talking about? No one has ever called me a villain. - I am the recognized savior."
What savior? The savior of the evil? ①
In the short quarter of an hour of meeting Dong Jin, Kale, who had felt attracted countless times, did not ask any further questions.
He pursued pleasure and also enjoyed the process of pursuing pleasure. So the next second, he just continued to teach Dong Jin what the aliens who came through the door needed to know:
"Every three days, we will hold a tea party in the suite on the top floor. Today at three o'clock in the afternoon is the time for a new round of tea parties. I will take you there then."
"Because of the door, the aliens cannot leave the hotel temporarily, and the suite closest to the door has also been affected by it and has a strange power. In that suite, no one can lie."
This song is really not played in vain.
Dong Jin, who got a lot of key information at once, couldn't help but sigh at the importance of making friends.
"Most of the aliens coming through the door are garbage with excessive self-awareness. With restricted movements, even if they can't fight, they are still keen to compare their past experiences at the tea party." "
At the end of the tea party, there will be a secret ballot to select two aliens as leaders. The selected ones will meet the native humans of this world on the second day of the tea party."
"Compared to the aliens, the evil people in this world are much more interesting..." At this point, Kale's expressionless face rarely showed some admiration: "At least they are very open about their evil desires."
"Even after knowing that we are all vicious and extremely evil species from another world, or after knowing that we are evil species on another level, they become more excited and more obedient."
"Some even travel thousands of miles to come here, willing to do anything for the aliens - even to let them blow up the city under their feet."
It seems that my second guess is closer to the truth.
There is no threat at all, and there is no hidden secret. Although there are many evil people here, they all come here voluntarily.
In this case, he will have no more worries when he takes action later.
Dong Jin walked around openly and tactfully, saying:
"-Maybe they want to see the inhuman art of evil?"
"Art? Are you talking about those monotonous explosions in this city?" Kale smiled briefly when he heard it.
He clearly didn't show any sarcasm, but his cold golden eyes gave people a sense of superiority and judgment. And the aliens and explosions he mentioned were obviously not up to his judgment at all.
"They ordered humans to create the explosion in order to blow up the defense array under the city of Origin, thereby completely liberating the power of the Gate and gaining the opportunity to move freely without constraints."
"Any behavior with a clear purpose cannot be called art."
"That kind of extremely noisy explosion without any aesthetic sense will not create any joy, but will only cause boring panic."
"Fortunately, there are only seven days left, I can still endure it."
"Will you have a carnival with me after those idiots leave?"
Dong Jin did not comment on the unique "artistic" thinking of this alien, nor did he comment on the anti-social tendencies that were not concealed in his words. He just keenly captured one point from it-Kaler was dissatisfied with ending the city of Origin with an explosion.
Judging from the fact that he played the piano in the lobby in the middle of the night and disturbed people, but no human or monster said anything, he is probably one of the two respected leaders. Since
Carlo hates explosions but acquiesced to the other leader's practice of blowing up the city, it is clear that he is a person who doesn't care.
So as long as he can defeat the other unknown existence, no matter what he does during this period, Carlo should not interfere. Maybe in the end, he can even put the blame on the other party.
Thinking about it this way, isn't he his perfect partner?
After Dong Jin saw Ka Le as a tool, he did not reject his ambiguous invitation outright:
"It doesn't take seven days. After the tea party this afternoon, I will start my own carnival."
These words were almost a declaration to Ka Le - after the tea party, he would definitely be elected as the leader.
Ka Le's tall body, which was originally leaning on the piano, leaned forward unconsciously. He half-closed his eyes and stared at Dong Jin in front of him with an unfathomable expression - judging from his appearance, the biggest sin he committed was being too tempting.
What on earth had he done to be so confident that he could defeat those lawless lunatics who were willing to take risks?
At this moment, Ka Le felt a fatal attraction from his soul again.
The blood in my body, which had always been cold, began to boil uncontrollably. The wings that had suddenly opened up after the sound of "The Devil" and were then forced into his body by Him, began to stir again.
In the dim night, the six pure black wings that finally broke out of the body did not have any holy meaning. They were just burning from the inside out with a trembling breath that tempted people to fall.
"The storm is not suitable for you."
Under the heavy shadows brought by the swaying wings, Kale's low voice sounded again:
"Compared to the storm, you are more suitable for the strong liquor of the carnival."
"When the strong liquor is poured on you, it will burn your lungs just by looking at it. When it is ignited, it will be so hot that it will make people dizzy and suffocate." If it
really ignites, won't I be burned to death by the liquor?
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Kale's metaphor made Dong Jin pause in playing with the umbrella.
And the "storm" he mentioned again and again also made Dong Jin quite concerned.
Then, in this indescribable subtle atmosphere, Kale took the initiative to say goodbye tonight:
"Then I will be waiting for you on the top floor at three o'clock in the afternoon."
Dong Jin, who had gained a lot, stood up slowly after hearing this and walked towards the elevator in the lobby at the same pace as when he came.
Therefore, he could not notice the subtle desire and imminent danger revealed by Kale's gaze on his back.
After returning to room 1001, Dong Jin immediately lost his previous calmness and lay down on the bed with a sullen face.
He was not angry because of Kale's covetousness, but because of the new handwriting on his plain game board.
When he first met Kale, Kale said, "You smell like a storm."
Due to the atmosphere at the time, he inevitably thought that the other party was flirting unconsciously.
But when Kale mentioned the word "storm" for the second time, Dong Jin, who had been on the verge of death countless times and almost turned the phrase "seeking profit and avoiding harm" into an instinct, intuitively realized that he might have overlooked something.
Why didn't any of the villains he met on the 10th floor of the hotel dare to test him?
Five minutes ago, Kale, who had arrogance engraved in his bones, said without doubt, "I know you are an alien"? Is
this really just because of his appearance that is far beyond ordinary people? Or was it because of his special disguise made of bandages and red marks?
His appearance was almost inhuman, but it was not evolved to the point of causing dementia. His
disguise was pure and unique, but it was not perfect enough to be instantly accepted by aliens.
So what was the root cause of all this?
Dong Jin, who had figured it out, stepped into the empty elevator and directly opened the game panel that was born from his talent. After
just a moment of not looking at it, Dong Jin saw many words on the game panel that he had once memorized that made him speechless.
The first was the personal status column.
A new line of notes appeared behind the original handwriting that read "Healthy (Remaining life: 6 natural days)" and it became "Healthy (Remaining life: 6 natural days) (Favored by God, Observed by God)".
Which God is this?
You should know that no matter which god or devil in the highest universe, they have one and only one chance to choose the trialist in "God's Choice".
The chosen trialist can use their power unilaterally during the trial, and once chosen, the gods and devils cannot remove it before the end of the seven trials.
The power of the gods and devils is not for nothing. So whether it is choosing servants, subordinates, successors, or anything else for themselves, they will look and consider again and again.
Even if they really like someone, they will first tentatively send something, as an olive branch to the other party. After getting the response from the chosen one, they will use the opportunity of selection on the other party.
The "God's Choice" ritual has a history of tens of thousands of years.
But from ancient times to the present, from the beginning to the end, Dong Jin has never heard of anyone being directly chosen by God within less than an hour after the trial is opened.
Dong Jin's social circle is very limited.
He has only known one god from beginning to end.
So after seeing the description of the personal status, he already had a hunch about the identity of that god.
When his eyes continued to move down and fell on the skill column, he realized that his hunch had indeed come true.
The two new skills are called "Eyes of Night" and "Calling by True Name", and the specific descriptions are as follows.
Skill name: Eyes of Night
Skill introduction: You who are watched by the God of Night have eyes that look back at the night.
Skill Effect: After activating the skill, the night cannot block your sight, and others cannot see you in the night.
Skill Evaluation: Clap, clap, clap! Clap, spin, jump! Baby, you are really good. Being chosen by God in the first second of "Divine Chosen" is unprecedented. By the way, do you know? I also chose you.
Skill Name: True Name Calling
Skill Introduction: He is "Thebesta", the god of night and drama.
Skill Effect: Say His true name, and He will respond to your call. Skill
Evaluation: Baby, I think I cheered too softly just now! Not only are you the fastest person to be chosen by God in history, but you are also the fastest person to know the true name of God in history. To what extent must He be obsessed with you that He would quietly offer you everything after losing everything? Of course, if you call my name, I will also respond to you.
The skills and the will of the universe that appeared one after another seemed to be noisy and noisy, and they collided with each other and turned Dong Jin's thoughts.
As far as he knew, how much power the chosen one could borrow from the gods and how many skills he could transform this power into were all related to his compatibility with the gods and the mutual favorability.
And what was his relationship with Lei Ming, that is, Thebesta?
Dong Jin recalled the past thousand nights, and only the two words "hehe" remained in his mind. Let 's not talk about the compatibility
first. If there was a favorability option on his panel at this moment, Lei Ming's favorability towards him would undoubtedly be "-100".
And this wasn't even Lei Ming's fault, he had brought this upon himself.
Dong Jin covered his face with his hands and sighed deeply.
In order to survive, he chose to enter the infinite flow dream dungeon every night and fight to the death.
Every time, the result of a failed mission in the dream dungeon was written with the words "world destruction". In this case, Dong Jin naturally regarded Lei Ming as an evil god and tried his best to clear the level.
But the more he went on, the more he felt that things were not what he thought.
Lei Ming, the judge of the dream world, had never interfered with anyone else's dungeon clearance process. From beginning to end, he just leaned on the empty throne and watched them struggle carelessly.
With his fear of trouble, the punishment of "world destruction" did not seem to be set by him.
He was more like an idle farmer. Only after the news of successful clearance of various universes came out, he announced the results in a disinterested manner, as if he suddenly discovered that his land had encountered a storm and the harvest was not high.
This situation continued until Dong Jin had cleared the level thirteen times in a row.
On the thirteenth midnight when Dong Jin entered the dreamland, this god who had been sitting high on the throne and looking down finally found something wrong and began to patrol his territory inch by inch like a beast.
Then, he finally found the intruder Dong Jin.
But even if he was an intruder, Dong Jin was still counted as a member of the dungeon mission. Lei Ming, as the referee, could not attack him at will due to the rules.
So they started the chase mode from then on.
Dong Jin still remembers that on the 500th night when their relationship was at its worst, after he cleared the level again, Lei Ming, who still hadn't solved his problem, seemed to have finally reached his limit, and uncontrollable rage burst out from his golden eyes.
That time, the people from other universes had already withdrawn, and Dong Jin left a little late due to his injuries.
And just before he withdrew, he watched helplessly as the entire dream world exploded in front of him as the darkness spread endlessly.
Whether it was people, objects, the sky, or the earth, in the end, there was only infinite darkness and endless blood.
From then on, the name Lei Ming symbolized the blood-filled, dark night that he had come back to in his dreams again and again.
Even though he had guessed that the reason why Lei Ming constructed such a dream world was probably because the cosmic will of other universes had reached a deal with the Supreme Universe at the cost of "the destruction of their own universe" in exchange for resources or something else.
This was a transaction between the two universes willingly.
If nothing unexpected happened, Lei Ming, as the builder and half of the owner, might have gained a lot of energy from it.
But this accident happened, causing the transaction, which originally had a success rate and failure rate of nearly 50%, to gradually become unbalanced.
Dong Jin didn't dare to imagine how much of Lei Ming's divine power was consumed by those one thousand midnights and one thousand dream worlds, and whether the continuous one thousand failures had emptied his family assets that he had saved for who knows how many years.
If this happened to him, let alone "-100" favorability, he would give "-1000".
Thinking about it this way, Lei Mingren is quite good.
Even if the reason and purpose of his choosing him are unclear, Dong Jin has to praise him for the fact that even the last-place favorability can add a useful skill to himself.
But "Thebesta"...
Dong Jin silently recited this name in his heart.
Even if it was just this unintentional silent recitation, he seemed to have passed through many spaces and looked into those dark golden eyes for a moment.
At that moment, it was like a snake entwining and an eagle patrolling.
The fear that was reluctantly suppressed before suddenly popped up twice as much.
When Dong Jin thought about the future in which he would appear in this person's sight in the dark, even his desire to complain disappeared instantly.
But it was also this one look that made him understand everything that he had not figured out before.
——Thunder is a storm.
Whether it is the name Tempesta, or the arrogant and almost rampant sense of disaster that sweeps over everything, they are silently explaining what a storm is.
And the aura of the storm that follows him is precisely the proof that he is favored by the Thunder God.
Who would think that he is a human being under such a unique and blatant aura?
On the other hand, although this aura does make it convenient for him to be domineering in this dungeon, is this a choice of God or a cover-up?
Will he have to spray perfume to cover this thing when he goes out in the future?
Dong Jin closed his eyes and calmed his chaotic thoughts.
Enough, don't think about that madman Lei Ming anymore.
The grudges between him and this god would be resolved in person after he finished this trial.
Even fairy tales can have one thousand and one nights, so there is no reason why his life would end abruptly on the thousandth night.
Putting aside the interference of Lei Ming, Dong Jin focused on the information that the will of the universe implicitly revealed to him in the evaluation.
What does "I also choose you" and "I will also respond to you" mean?
By the way, there seems to be a unique weight calculation algorithm for the best universe selection in "God's Choice".
The MVP of each trial has a great bonus to the performance of the universe, and the will of the universe itself can choose how much weight to give to each seed player.
Once the player it chooses performs well, it will also get a rich reward.
So what it means is that it has placed a heavy bet on him in this trial, right?
"Will of the Universe, it's 1 a.m., are you asleep?"
"I can't sleep."
"Do you want me to repeat it to you again? I am very valuable, the most valuable kind of valuable. Why don't you learn and just want to get something for free?"
"If you really choose me, and I really win multiple MVPs or even FMVPs, then after all the trials are over, you have to return my luck to me."
The will of the universe in this universe certainly cannot talk to the trialers at any time and anywhere.
But the ability of their universe is "equivalent exchange", and Dong Jin was just a unilateral message, and did not do anything to affect the balance of the copy. So after paying only 1 second of life, his words were conveyed to the will of the universe truthfully.
At this moment, the will of the universe could not answer.
But Dong Jin knew that he would not receive any results other than a promise.
