Chapter 075 Climbing the Tower of God (IV)
No wonder Lei Ming is so happy.
He has been unhappy with Kai for a long time. How could he not be happy when he had a rare chance to laugh at him?
But where did this childish guy come from? He gets excited when he gets into trouble, right?
At this time, Dong Jin looked at the God of Night and Drama who was so close at hand, and he was too lazy to even curse him. He reported Lei Ming without any guilt one second, and was stabbed in the back by this accomplice the next second. Isn't this fair? Now
that things have come to this, let's not talk about who they are.
In this situation where it doesn't make any difference whether it's exposed a day earlier or later, Dong Jin doesn't want to waste his energy to continue arguing about this matter. However, Lei Ming seemed to misunderstand his silence as brewing anger.
Lei Ming looked at him, then paused for a moment, and then explained for the first time: "--What are you angry about? You should thank me."
"If Kai were to investigate by himself, the entire Supreme Universe would know about this matter soon. Rather than going to that extent, it would be better for me to send the original film to him directly, at least it would be less noisy."
Lei Ming was right. If Kai followed the clues of Lei Ming's energy use and his eye color change and investigated all the way, it would inevitably make other gods and demons notice the existence of "Butterfly", and then everyone in the Supreme Universe would know that they were deceived.
Instead of that, it would be better to let him send the film.
Dong Jin understood the reason, and he even reacted the moment he heard Lei Ming send the film. It would have been better if Lei Ming hadn't explained. His extremely bad way of expression made Dong Jin's anger soar from one point to three points after he explained.
Lei Ming could see clearly that Dong Jin was really angry. Seeing this, his arrogant smile finally subsided a little tonight. The god lowered his golden eyes and stared at Dong Jin quietly. After a long time, he asked again with a low sigh: "What are you angry about?"
"Even if Kai knows more, he won't reveal it before the end of the fourth dungeon. Dong Jin, I'm solving your problem now, what are you angry about?"
In Dong Jin's judgment, with Kai's character, if he really wants to retaliate, he will probably do it himself instead of choosing to make everything public. But this is just a guess after all. Lei Ming was a little too bold at this moment, making Dong Jin wonder if he knew some other news.
So he tentatively sneered: "Are you confident?"
Lei Ming answered him with an ambiguous sneer: "Yes. I am confident."
Apart from that, Lei Ming didn't say another word.
Because what he was confident about was not Kai's arrogant temper, but the degree of Kai's obsession with Dong Jin.
The guy who was used to pretending gave up his usual three minutes of enthusiasm and abandoned his style of being able to do it once and not twice, and was directly seduced by Dong Jin to promise to wait until he finished the fourth dungeon.
So even if he knew he was being fooled, Kai would still suppress his anger and wait for the fourth dungeon to end, waiting for Dong Jin to give him an answer in person.
——He just has such a preference for Dong Jin.
Lei Ming really wanted to see what ridiculous things the so-called God of Carnival could do after being completely rejected by Dong Jin?
Let the entire universe mourn for his boring unrequited love for three days?
Thinking of this, the sarcasm on the corners of Lei Ming's lips emerged again.
Dong Jin will only be his chosen one from the beginning to the end. What Kai, what God of Carnival, they should have faced the reality and stepped down consciously long ago.
If this guy really continues to spy on his people regardless...
"Hearing you are so sure, let's ignore Kai for now. Have you thought of countermeasures for other gods and demons?"
Since they have already talked about the topic of being exposed, Dong Jin simply took the opportunity to talk it out with Lei Ming. He had to know Lei Ming's attitude before he could decide the scale of his next behavior.
Up to now, he had offended nearly a thousand gods and demons. Assuming that he had not been completely exposed before the fourth trial began, he might take the opportunity to make another profit. If Lei Ming did not intend to take the blame, he would have to think of a foolish excuse that would not attract much hatred in the next dungeon.
"What's there to think about?" Lei Ming, who had barely suppressed his intention to kill Kai, looked at Dong Jin and heard him calmly and matter-of-factly reply: "When the time comes, you just need to give me a name."
"Give me a name. Whoever troubles you, I will kill him."
Private fighting is prohibited in the Supreme Universe. But now the Tower of Gods is open, and all the gods and demons are in it.
The tower is not reality. So what if he accidentally killed a few gods and demons while sparring with them in the tower?
I finally heard some human words tonight. Dong Jin, who got a satisfactory answer, breathed a sigh of relief and decided to scold Lei Ming as little as possible in the future.
This god has a bad temper, but fortunately he really takes the blame when he should, and never considers pushing his teammates out to block the gun.
Lei Ming really doesn't take other gods and demons seriously. After he casually said the solution, he said to Dong Jin, who inexplicably calmed down: "Have you finished asking questions? If you have, leave and go into the tower with me before dawn. Our cosmic will is very annoyed, and I don't want to be caught by it."
He sneaked out of the tower.
This time, the cosmic will of the highest universe severely punished everyone. Even though he didn't care how much energy he was fined or how long he was confined, he still had to put in some superficial effort. Otherwise, if the will of the universe found out that he had escaped, it would not be so easy for him to find out again.
Dong Jin, who was originally planning to enter the tower, thought of his decision not to scold the other party just now, and finally held back the urge to complain, allowing the man to take him away.
At the same time, Kai, who was mentioned repeatedly by the two people, had also returned to the floor of the tower that belonged to him. At this moment, in this luxurious space that looked more like a temple than a prison, he was leaning against the throne, wondering what he was thinking.
Kai was thinking about Dong Jin.
At the beginning of the third copy, or even earlier, Kai had already suspected the relationship between Dong Jin and Lei Ming.
But preference clouded his vision, and the surging joy every time he saw Dong Jin blinded his reason. So even if the evidence was thrown in front of him one after another, he never really cared.
Until tonight when he asked Oz, until Lei Ming sent the video.
Thinking of this, Kai glanced at the original movie on the ground with mixed feelings. The next second, the famous "Butterfly" in the high-dimensional universe was played again in the dim palace.
Unlike the rumors in other universes, this original film is the original version that has never been edited. So some details of the confrontation between the two were neither blurred nor deleted. Anyone who knows them will definitely recognize who is in the film.
Kai and Lei Ming both have a pair of dark golden eyes.
Unlike Lei Ming, his eyes were a little lighter, closer to the color of gold. However, at this moment in this palace where not even the candles were lit, Kai's golden eyes became darker and darker, so dark that they were closer to Lei Ming on the screen.
Even at this moment, the way they looked at Dong Jin in the video overlapped vaguely.
It was precisely because of their similar status, similar eyes, and even the same predatory nature that Kai knew better than anyone that the look in Lei Ming's eyes when he looked at Dong Jin on the screen was definitely not innocent.
Even if he had not read film reviews from other universes, he could see the desire buried deep under the other party's murderous intent.
"Dong Jin..." Kai read out the name very slowly after a pause.
For the supreme universe where the strong prey on the weak, there is no need to distinguish between the desire to hunt and the desire to conquer; for the gods and demons whose lifespan is long enough to blur everything, love and hate can be equal.
Therefore, the murderous intention in the video is real, the hatred is real, and the love that even the person himself has not noticed is also real.
This video perfectly answers all of Kai's doubts.
It turns out that Dong Jin and Lei Ming have known each other long before the God's Choice.
The dark rain in the first copy, the resonance and applause in the second copy, the gaze and eternal night in the third copy... All of the above are Lei Ming's inner turmoil.
But so what?
Kai's eyes did not stay on Lei Ming for a moment, but stared at Dong Jin's eyes.
Dark black, light gray and dark blue, countless changes in light, brought him countless heartbeats.
He wanted Dong Jin.
This was something Kai had already understood when the fireworks suddenly rose and Dong Jin looked down at him. Even if I received this video tonight...
Through Dong Jin's eyes, Kai stared at the other's ambitious soul that was not concealed at all, and smiled slowly.
Even if I received this video tonight, his heartbeat has not diminished in the slightest.
He is a madman who only cares about today and doesn't care about tomorrow.
Since he is already crazy, who cares about the so-called first come first served, the so-called moral ethics?
One second before the end of the movie, Kai and Dong Jin, who looked up at the outside of the screen, accidentally met each other's eyes. Then the red-haired, golden-eyed god said in a low, hoarse voice with a smile: "Dong Jin, you'd better not play tricks on me."
He could forgive all of Dong Jin's concealment and hesitation, provided that Dong Jin did not play tricks on him.
If Dong Jin chose Lei Ming at the end of the fourth copy, leaving him waiting in vain that was destined from the beginning... Thinking of this, Kai's eyes darkened a little more.
The surging desire and the resurgent and fading murderous intent silently mixed together, and finally returned to calm.
Was he too gentle before, so that Dong Jin misunderstood his temper?
Kai raised his hand and unconsciously tapped the melody of "The Demon King" on the throne.
At this moment, he wondered if he should teach Dong Jin a lesson.
The God of Rapture can bring the most devastating joy to the world, or he can make people completely sink into devastating joy.
Whether it is joy or destruction depends on his thoughts.
Perhaps he should have made Dong Jin realize this earlier.
On the other side, on the bottom floor of the Tower of Ascension, Dong Jin, who had not made any agreement with Kai and only perfunctorily dealt with him in the third copy, suddenly had the urge to sneeze.
Dong Jin certainly didn't know what Kai was thinking at the moment.
After entering the tower, Lei Ming went back directly to deal with the inspection of the will of the universe. He stood at the entrance of the Tower of Ascension, carefully browsing the specific rules of the tower written on the wall. The general
rules of the Tower of Ascension are as follows:
1. This tower has a total of 99 floors.
2. Floors 1-77 are occupied by the top 10,000 trialists according to their ranking in the dungeon, and floors 78-99 are the residences of the gods and demons of the highest universe.
3. Every whole floor, such as the 10th floor, the 20th floor, etc., is a special place with different functions, and certain conditions must be met before entry.
4. Except for special places, people from the lower floors cannot enter the upper floors without permission, and non-chosen people cannot enter the floors where gods and demons are located.
5. Private fighting is prohibited in the tower. If there is a conflict, please find the arena on the 30th floor to resolve it yourself.
6. The time flow rate inside and outside the Tower of Ascension is 1:1. After the trialists choose to enter the tower, the injuries they suffer inside the tower will not affect reality, and the body outside the tower will also be protected by the will of the universe. Please feel free to enter.
7. The universal currency of this tower is popularity. The specific conversion formula is as follows...
The rest are some trivial rules. Dong Jin read them roughly and then looked at the invitation letter between his fingers.
This is not an invitation letter to climb the tower, but it suddenly appeared in his hand after he entered the tower. It only says:
"Dear Mr. Dong Jin:"
"Welcome to the Tower of Ascension! We sincerely invite you to participate in the interview program at 9:00 this morning."
"In this program, you will interact with the audience of the higher-dimensional universe in real time. Listen to their love and cheers, gain a lot of popularity and enjoy a high-quality life! We are really looking forward to your arrival. If you have any questions about time, etc., please contact us at any time, we are willing to reschedule for you."
"-From the 60th floor program team of the Tower of Ascension."
Interview program? What did they ask him? What was his feeling about winning the MVP title, or his experience in fooling the gods and demons?
I don't know if Kai has watched the video, and how much the gods and demons know about it.
It would be best if the program team asked the former. If they asked the latter, he might not even be able to stay in this tower.
