Sheng Wu blinked coldly, her eyes calm, "Yes, not only you, but also Lumina." After a pause, she added.
"Oh, there is also Lucifer, you will meet him later. He is the most powerful archangel under God."
"What are you doing this for?"
"The system told me that once I complete the mission, I can leave the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss. Oh, that's the lowest level of hell."
"How long have you been locked up?"
"...I can't remember clearly, it seems... it's been tens of thousands of years." Sheng Wu raised her head slightly, her eyes blank.
Tens of thousands of years... The year that he had memories, the year that he had no contact with the outside world was enough to repeat the loneliness, and she had indeed been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years!
Seeing this, Lucius felt more and more depressed in his heart, with a hint of sourness and pain.
"So, your goal is also to make me fall in love with you, right?"
"yes."
"What if I don't?"
"If the mission fails, maybe... I will disappear." Sheng Wu said lightly.
Lucius' pupils trembled, and his throat was hard. Her price was so high...
However, this is not a reason for her to plot to hurt those people.
[Ding! Male protagonist's favorability, 30!]
Rather than hating and being angry at Sheng Wu for treating those people so ruthlessly, he was more concerned about why she was so cruel and heartless. Even he, a bystander, was moved by the scene, while she, who had experienced it firsthand, could talk about it with a smile.
He couldn't imagine what kind of darkness she had gone through to become the devil she was now.
He firmly believes that no one is inherently bad.
"Why are you never moved? You don't even have any feelings for them." Not being moved is to continue the mission and survive, but she didn't feel moved or attached at all. It was like she had no humanity, couldn't love, and didn't have love.
Sheng Wu slowly lowered her eyes, her pupils cold, "Because, I was born in darkness, and they tried to use light to pull me out, but I hate light and don't believe in any emotions."
After saying that, Sheng Wu glanced at him intently and said in a cold tone, "Lucius, what you believe in is wrong. God will not protect everyone, and love cannot change everything."
If this had been said before, Lucius would have firmly refuted it, but after seeing Sheng Wu's memory, he hesitated, with struggle and confusion surging in his eyes.
Those who loved her were used and even abandoned by her time and time again, but she never cared...
Could it be that there really was something wrong with his faith?
"No one can save me, not even God."
Looking at his expression, Sheng Wu raised her lips in a mocking manner and said something very lightly and coldly. Then she stood up indifferently and prepared to leave.
She turned and walked towards the door, raising her hand to push it open.
"I can!"
Suddenly, a firm voice came from behind.
"I can save you. I will do everything I can to help you. I will help you complete your mission without having to deceive or scheme against others. I will help you feel the light of this world. I will prove to you that my faith is not wrong."
Lucius stood up suddenly, his fists clenched, staring at Sheng Wu's back in a daze.
He looked at her memories and felt the despair and love of those who were conquered, but he felt more sorry for Sheng Wu's ruthlessness and coldness as a tasker. Compared with those who were conquered and knew how to love, he cared more about Sheng Wu who was in the dark and didn't know how to love.
He wanted to save her, and wanted to use this method to prove to her that the God and light he believed in were right, that he was not a useless person, and that he wanted to help her!
“…”
Sheng Wu's body stiffened, and she stood there alone and coldly. She did not turn around, but turned her back to Lucius with a trembling gaze.
"Save me."
The next second she turned around abruptly, her cold black pupils becoming fierce. Sheng Wu quickly walked back to Lucius, then raised her hand and tightly pinched his neck, her tone stern and cold.
"Why would you save me? You're just a vassal of this world, what qualifications do you have to say that?"
Lucius was shocked by her emotional fluctuations, and even though his throat was choking, he still flushed and showed tolerance.
"Well... I can! You said that everyone shows kindness to me because of my identity, so I can use this to help you and solve your problems! Not everything can only be calculated and deceived. I don't need you to lie to me. Since your mission is to conquer me, I am willing to take the initiative to fall in love with you. As for Lumina and Lucifer, I want to help you conquer them without hurting them." In this way, she would not use deception and scheming to numbly calculate others again.
He wanted to do something for her so that she wouldn't have to live such a tiring life, so that she could feel the love that was not calculated, even if it was not the love between children.
Lucius looked at her with a complicated and distressed expression. It had nothing to do with love. He was just a bright person who wanted to pull up someone who had fallen into darkness.
"Oh......"
Sheng Wu's pupils moved slightly. She stared at Lucius's determined expression in a daze. Suddenly, she sneered and pinched his neck, tightening her grip slightly.
"Okay, you're not the first person to try to save me, so let me make a bet with you. If you can't save me in the end and I still kill you without a care in the world, you lose. The bet is your life."
Lucius agreed without hesitation.
"Okay! I bet!" There was a determined look and luster in the gray-brown pupils.
He knew that in Sheng Wu's past there was a girl who tried to save her, but ended up in tragedy. However, he firmly believed that he was different. He volunteered to devote himself from the very beginning, and he tried to save everything from the very beginning before the tragedy unfolded!
Seeing that he really agreed, Sheng Wu narrowed her deep eyes, then let go of him, her eyes cold, "No one else can know what happened today except the two of us."
After saying this coldly, she turned and walked away, her back looking lonely.
“Ahem…”
Lucius, who was released by her, immediately gasped for breath as if for survival, trying his best to breathe in fresh air.
He raised his hand to support his aching neck, closed his eyes in a daze, frowned and thought about something. The scenes just now were too immersive, and he still felt regret and bitterness.
Each of those characters is vivid, and their lives, deceived and exploited by Sheng Wu, are too bitter and too sad.
If I want to help her and save him, I am also saving myself and Lumina and Lucifer who are about to be deceived by Shengwu.
Hopefully, he can really do it, and his faith will not let him down.
