Chapter 70 Because
After Mian Li disappeared, Zhuo Can followed suit and drew a magic circle to summon O'Neill again.
The messenger of God didn't let him recite those annoying spells anymore and showed up early.
Zhuo Can also knew that this guy was ordered by God to monitor him and was not really summoned by the magic circle, so he did not prepare the materials carefully, and even the red circle was drawn in a sloppy manner.
Olier took a step back in disgust, away from the crooked circle.
Zhuo Can didn't want to chat, so he got straight to the point: "Is Mian Li at your place?"
"No."
"He's not with you—could he have been kidnapped?"
Olier carefully answered: "...to some extent."
The human gasped.
The thing he feared most had finally come to pass.
Olier said: "However, you can rest assured that the Lord God is safe now."
The envoy of God still knew more than him. Zhuo Can asked anxiously, "Where is He?"
O'Rourke shook his head.
He was a little angry: "Can't you tell me this? We clearly reached a consensus last time, are you guys messing up again-"
"No." The messenger interrupted him, "I don't know where the little prince is now. I can only be sure that he is safe."
He is Mianli's nanny, how could he not know about it?
Olier saw Zhuo Can's distrust and said, "The young prince is not in the divine realm. As for where he went, it is top secret—I don't have the authority to investigate."
Zhuo Can's question was natural: "Who has it then?"
Olier exhaled lightly: "...Apart from His Majesty himself, only Lord Left Rudder and Lord Right Rudder know about it."
Zhuo Can was stunned.
"Who is it?"
It sounds so awesome.
Olier frowned. "They are the two masters Kun and Peng. Don't you know?"
Zhuo Can shook his head honestly.
"...Forget it." O'Neill hesitated, "When the two masters feel the time is right to tell you, they will come to you in person. Until then, you just have to wait."
After saying that, he disappeared without even giving Zhuo Can time to react.
Mr. God's messenger came and went like the wind, and he kept talking to himself, which made Zhuo Can, who was already upset, even worse.
He didn't get a good night's sleep for the next week.
I thought over and over again, how can Jiang Xiao be a parent? Isn't he worried when his child is lost?
Your Majesty the God is very busy. Is he so busy that he doesn't even have time to save his own children?
Or is it that even Jiang Xiao, who has great magical powers, has places he cannot reach and enemies he cannot defeat?
The more Zhuo Can thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Is Mian Li's situation really that critical?
If even his great Father God was helpless, then it was even more impossible for him, as a human being, to come up with any solution.
I originally thought that this world was made up of matter, and then I entered the escape game;
I thought the escape game was surreal enough, but it turns out this game is controlled by a main god;
I thought the little Lord God was already the founder, but I didn't expect that He had a father who was a hundred times more powerful.
Now, there is another existence that is independent of humans and gods?
For Zhuo Can, losing Mianli was not just a matter of his child being lost. What was even more terrifying was that he seemed to be drawn into an endless vortex that was beyond his original cognition.
All are false.
His nervousness has affected his normal life, and sooner or later one of his mental or physical state will collapse first.
Fortunately, during another sleepless night, he turned over and saw a head of inky black hair suddenly appearing beside the bed.
...I almost screamed out loud.
Then, I saw Feifei's beautiful face.
Fortunately it wasn't a ghost.
But the news Feifei brought did not make Zhuo Can feel any more relieved than the appearance of the evil ghost.
The legendary Lord Right Rudder was injecting a vermilion light into Zhuo Can's brain.
It didn't hurt, but no one could be comfortable with someone having something implanted in their brain.
Zhuo Can knew that he couldn't resist, so he didn't plan to resist: "What are you doing?"
"I need you to lead the way for me to rescue the little prince."
"Ah?" Zhuo Can was surprised. "Can't your Majesty find it?"
"Your Majesty...can't go to that place. I must come."
"If even you can't go there, how can I possibly find it?"
Feifei didn't answer him, but changed the subject: "Your Majesty once possessed the ability of foresight, but after the birth of the little prince... this ability was largely destroyed, and now only a very faint remnant remains."
Zhuo Can was easily led away by him: "Ah, I've only heard that giving birth is very harmful to the mother, why would Mianli's birth also affect the father?"
“That’s not part of our discussion.”
"Oh." Zhuo Can came to his senses, "That's not right. What does this have to do with what we just talked about?"
Feifei looked like she really didn't want to talk to him, but was forced to due to work. "The thing is, your majesty knew the kidnappers would find you soon."
Zhuo Can shuddered: "Looking for me? Why?"
What use is there for a mere mortal being of flesh and blood?
Lord Right Rudder's patience had reached its limit, and he skipped over his hundreds of questions and said, "After I find you, I'll take you to see His Highness."
Zhuo Can opened his mouth, but finally closed it.
After the red light injection was completed, Feifei withdrew his hand.
Zhuo Can shook his head, feeling no discomfort.
I actually allowed others to invade my brain so naturally.
He couldn't help but ask: "Did you install a GPS in my head?"
"What is GPS?"
"Just... never mind, it's not important."
Feifei gave him a strange look.
Both of them were wondering what kind of illogical creature was standing across from them.
Feifei said, "Once you enter the barrier, I'll be able to locate you. I'll find the right moment to enter and then lead you out."
Zhuo Can asked, "Are you sure?"
Feifei: “No.”
Zhuo Can: “…”
Zhuo Can was glad that the conversation ended there, otherwise it would have escalated to the point where it became unbearable until one person started fighting and the other got hurt.
And the one who was injured is most likely not Feifei.

The little leopard became the little fairy's only playmate on the Sea of Sin.
Although neither of them admitted that the other was a friend, this did not affect the two of them whispering together from morning to night, looking here and there, and then going into the water after playing on the boat.
The set of the horror cruise ship has unknowingly become the Garden Baby.
Miya is only about ten years old in human age, but already has the tall figure of a young boy.
Mian Li only interacted with adults in the divine realm. After arriving in the human world, the children in the nursery class were all children of the same age as him, and the oldest was Tao Yingjia, who was only one and a half years older than him.
There is no child who doesn't want to play with older children, even little gods are no exception.
When Mianli was playing, he often muttered that this Cancan also had it, and that Cancan also had it.
Miya had heard so much that she roughly knew who this "Cancan" was. She was the temporary keeper of the little fairy after he fell into the human world.
In Miya's opinion, it was almost the same as her lord and others taking her and her siblings in.
But Mianli disagrees: "Cancan is the best!"
"My Lord is also very good."
“Not as good as Cancan.”
"Who said that the Lord is the best?"
"Chan-chan, the best!"
"My Lord, the best—"
In the middle of their meaningless bickering, Mianli suddenly changed the subject: "I miss Jiajia."
In His view, it was such a trivial dispute that reminded Him of His best playmate in this world.
That was the first time He mentioned Tao Yingjia's name in front of Miya.
But Miya sounded different.
Besides the breeder, is there another person that Mianli cares so much about?
Next, it was as if a box was opened, and countless memories and longings flew out with wings. I would mention this little friend on more occasions during my sleep.
Miya could pretend not to be interested at first, but later she couldn't help but feel annoyed when she heard him talking "Jia Jia long" and "Jia Jia short" all day long.
"Who is Jiajia?"
Miya felt a tinge of jealousy.
Lingbao grew up simply in the isolated sea of sin and had never experienced this kind of emotion.
"Jia Jia is Jia Jia." said Mian Li.
His tone was normal, as if this could really serve as an answer.
They had just finished swimming and were returning to shore.
Miya restored his animal form before coming out of the water. Mianli swam to his side and grabbed the black panther's soft fur in the water.
The leopard leaped out of the water with ease, drew a beautiful arc on the sea surface, and landed accurately on the deck of the cruise ship.
As always, the little leopard just had to shake its fur to do the job, then it changed back into human form, took the towel that had been prepared on the railing, and rubbed the child.
Mian Li was used to this kind of treatment. She sat on the floor, wrapped in a large towel, waiting for Mia to wipe her hair.
The more Miya thought about it, the angrier and more excited she became. Suddenly, she lifted the towel and grabbed Mianli's hand.
"Hey, Mian Xiaoli, don't think about your 'Jia Jia' anymore."
The young boy's bright yellow eyes stared at Him intently.
Mian Li blinked: "Why?"
Miya pouted: "You can't leave anyway, and there's no way you'll see him. Since you're going to stay here, just play with me, okay? I'll treat you well."
He made a grand and ambitious declaration of exclusive friendship, but Mian Li didn't buy it at all.
The child's eyes, which had been filled with joy just now because of the play, now gleamed with tears: "From now on - I can't leave?"
Miya was stunned and stammered, "Y-yes, don't you know?"
This is completely different from what I imagined.
Mianli thought that as long as he was good and obedient, he could go home.
But Mia told him that he had to stay here from now on.
He blinked in disbelief, and big tears rolled down his face.
Miya was panicking now: "Hey hey hey? Don't cry——"
"You, you, why did you make Him cry again?"
A slightly reproachful sigh came from the adult above my head.
Miya lifted the towel and looked at Zechariah nervously: "Master, Master, I didn't mean to..."
Zechariah bent down and picked up the still-sobbing child. He looked at Mia and said in a neutral voice, "Don't mention those things in front of Him. Whether we go back or stay is not up to Him to decide."
What this means is that it is not your business.
Miya lowered her head guiltily.
The lord was rarely strict with him. Most of the time he had a cynical smile on his face, as if he didn't care about anything.
Once such people care about something, they will be extremely serious.
What he didn't know was that not long ago, his sister was also stopped with a warning for questioning that crossed the line.
The young man would soon understand that with the arrival of the Young God, the three hundred year old barrier of the Sea of Sin had been broken - and this was not the only balance He had broken.
Zechariah carried Mianli toward the cabin.
Miya hesitated for a long time before finally mustering the courage to raise her head and ask, "Master!"
The demon paused but didn't look back.
Miya asked eagerly, with the sincerity typical of a young person, "Will He stay?"
Zechariah asked himself the same question three hundred years ago.
“Will He stay with me?”
What he gave himself at that time was an affirmation that was almost pleading.
Even the devil, who has committed countless evil deeds and has committed unforgivable crimes, has prayed sincerely to God.
But there was no response at all.
Three hundred years later, he just smiled lightly.
"Who knows?"
*
It was nice to have Miya's company, but Mianli was still unhappy here.
He missed home.
Whether it is Cancan’s not very spacious house or the extremely vast temple of Father God.
I miss my family more.
Cancan is definitely listed first, and then who is better, Father God or Jiajia?
Then there are Lulu, O'Leary, Ruirui, and Huihui.
There is also Teacher Min, the cats, Bubu, and Mianmian.
And more...
Unknowingly, He already had two homes, one in heaven and one on earth, and had so many family members who loved Him.
Leaving familiar places and trusted people twice in just one year to go to a completely different world would make even an adult feel exhausted.
Not to mention a child who is so young and so dependent.
Now, whenever He eats caramel-flavored desserts, He thinks of home and starts to cry.
As soon as He opened His mouth to cry, Zechariah began to have a headache.
A dual-channel Pavlov effect is formed.
This cycle is difficult to break:
First of all, caramel-flavored things are a must-try, as they are Zechariah’s favorite.
Secondly, stopping Mianli from crying is an even more impossible task.
The little fairy can do whatever he wants, and no one can stop him.
Once again, when the cub was tired of crying, his palm-sized face looked aggrieved, his nose was red, and his caramel-colored eyes, which were very similar to his, were full of helplessness.
Zechariah felt sorry again.
As a demon, he has no mercy or compassion for the young of any creature, and he doesn't feel guilty about taking his anger out on others or committing multiple crimes.
But the sleeping ceremony is special.
And this kid is weird.
He had clearly kidnapped the child, and when it came to raising a child, he was no match for Ariel or Mia. But whenever Mianli cried, she only wanted him to hold her, and no one else would do.
Well, in order to reduce the noise, Zechariah had no choice but to give in and pretend to coax him.
Although the coaxing technique is very poor.
Even Zechariah himself couldn't understand it: as the Lord of Hell, when had he ever been "unbearable" to anyone?
It happened once to someone, and now it happened a second time to His child.
It's cause and effect.
Zechariah held Mian Li in his arms and looked carefully at His facial features.
The eyebrows, nose, mouth, and even the outline of the eyes, they all look familiar no matter how you look at them.
Even the hair color and curl are identical.
Except for the eye color, it looks like a mini version of it carved from the same mold.
Is it because I look so much like that guy that I become soft-hearted when he cries?
...Come to think of it, when was the last time you saw “Him” cry?
Was it the time when I bullied him so badly?
The red marks on such fair skin are particularly noticeable.
What did he do to make those blue eyes, which were always clear and bright, now fill with tears...
Zechariah's thoughts drifted unconsciously towards age restrictions.
"Sasa?"
The tender voice of the child made the devil stop in his tracks.
Even though I told him many times not to call him by this weird reduplicated word, Mianli didn't listen and was very stubborn.
Zechariah was forced to get used to it.
The little boy grabbed the corner of his clothes, with little strength and sound.
He stammered, "Lili... Lili wants to go home..."
Zechariah coldly rejected it: "No."
The child was still sobbing: "I miss Cancan, I miss Jiajia..."
The devil was troubled by the noise of the young god.
what to do?
It is definitely not possible to let him go without sleeping, as his ultimate goal has not been achieved yet.
Otherwise, think in reverse and put all the people that Mian Li mentioned here.
If he can't even invite a certain giant Buddha, then isn't it easier for him to invite a mere human?
I've already sent spirits out of the barrier to investigate Mian Li's human keepers several times before, so locating them is very easy.
He closed his eyes, and his spirit left the shackles of the Sea of Sin barrier, reaching out to the ordinary human world like a devil's claws.
Found it.
Humans are still drinking coffee at work to try to stay awake, with bruises under their eyes, looking very listless.
The assistant next to him looks familiar.
Zechariah recalled that it seemed to be the young man who had just left when he went for a replacement interview last time.
He sighed inwardly. If he brought this person in, the little thing would stop crying, right?
He snapped his fingers in hope.
The office worker dropped from the sky, stunned, holding a half-spilt coffee cup in his hand.
