Humans are not creatures of lasting affection; love that lasts until death goes against human nature.
Therefore, when people get married, they should not say things like "I will never leave you, whether you are poor or rich".
Instead, they placed their hands in front of the statue of Cupid and made an oath.
I will go against my instincts and defy my nature to love you forever.
—Adapted from Richard Dawkins' *The Selfish Gene*
… …
"Say it! Don't you love me? Then make your vows!"
Inside the dimly lit church, the eerie sound of bells drifted faintly into the distance.
Dressed in a pure white priest's robe, Si Jin forcefully pressed the hand of a woman in a red dress in front of the statue of the goddess of love and gave the order in a deep voice.
"If you love me, you must follow the rules of the Church of Love."
"Make a vow before the statue of Cupid when the midnight bells ring."
"You will go against your instincts, defy your nature, and love me forever."
"explain!"
Tao Yiting was furious, and her eyes turned red from the stress.
He wished he could punch Si Jin twice.
However... given the lesson of almost being beaten to the point of vomiting blood by Si Jin just now, he dared not resist too much.
He could only stammer, "I...I will go against my nature...I will rebel..."
"You misspoke." Si Jin's voice carried a chilling edge, gently reminding him, "It goes against your instincts. Midnight is almost over, don't try to evade the issue."
"If you don't want to die, then obediently swear an oath."
This is an infinite flow world.
Si Jin's current location is—
Church of Aphrodite.
The Church of Aphrodite was originally a shrine where newlyweds prayed for a long and happy marriage.
Every couple who comes here follows the rules.
They placed their hands together in front of the statue of Cupid, vowing to love only each other.
But two hundred years ago, Mo Linyuan, the priest in front of the church, betrayed the god of love and fell into demonic ways.
Not only that, Mo Linyuan also went so far as to turn the entire city, centered around the Church of Aphrodite, into an endless playground of escape.
Everyone in the city was forced into an escape game.
To escape, the only way is to overcome all obstacles and reach the church.
Find the divine sword left behind by the god of love and kill Mo Linyuan.
Tao Yiting was among the first to storm the church. She had heard from someone that the divine sword was in the hands of the new priest, so she went to great lengths to get close to the original owner of the sword, Ming Sijin, in order to kill him and take the sword.
But the original owner was a priest, and priests possess divine power.
Tao Yiting is a woman, and the difference in strength is too great, so it's not advisable to make a direct move.
So, she tricked the original owner into falling in love with her, and made the original owner place her hand in front of the statue of Cupid at midnight and swear that she would definitely love her.
But Tao Yiting knew perfectly well that the church would become eerie once the escape game began.
A person who unilaterally swears an oath to Cupid will die suddenly if he does not receive sincere love from his beloved.
In other words, if the original owner unilaterally swears that he only loves Tao Yiting, but Tao Yiting does not love the original owner, the original owner will die suddenly.
The original owner of this body was deceived by Tao Yiting, unilaterally made an oath, and then died.
Therefore, the first thing Si Jin did upon arriving in this world was to make Tao Yiting swear an oath.
It's obvious that Tao Yiting wouldn't dare!
Large beads of sweat dripped from the woman's forehead.
Tao Yiting stammered again, "I...I will...I..."
Tao Yiting was afraid of dying, and finally couldn't bring herself to say it. She could only wail in anguish, "I won't say it! Ming Sijin, you've gone completely mad!"
"The whole city has become a ghost town, everyone's dead, what kind of undying love is this?! Let me go!!"
"What if there is?" Si Jin spoke up, speaking out for the deceased original owner.
Tao Yiting screamed hysterically, "Impossible! In the face of life and death, everyone looks out for themselves! If you're so capable, find someone right now who swears they won't die, and I'll immediately commit suicide to atone for my sins!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by.
It was gloomy and cool, with the prayer candles in the church swaying precariously.
The next moment, a tall man dressed in a red robe appeared at the door.
His waist-length white hair flowed freely, and two pure white devil horns stood atop his head.
With her captivating eyes and graceful movements, she exudes charm and elegance.
The moment they saw him, all the survivors who were "watching the show" inside the church held their breath and dared not utter a sound.
The handsome, red-robed demon stood tall and graceful, slowly walking towards the statue.
He kicked Tao Yiting away and placed his hand on the oath stone in front of the statue without hesitation.
Speaking with deep emotion:
"Ming Sijin, I love you."
"I will go against my instincts and defy my nature to love you forever."

Today's bonus chapter is complete!
A new dimension has opened, and the Abyss of Demons has arrived.
The first three paragraphs are not original; they are all taken from "The Selfish Gene." However, the original sentence was "Put your hands on 'The Selfish Gene' and 'Evolutionary Psychology' and swear an oath," which I changed to "the statue of Cupid."
The god of love is not Cupid, but the main villain. This world is completely fictional, so please don't relate it to the story!
