All living beings in hell

Chapter 179 - Xiao Li and the Devil

The lotus lights came on, and the firm welcomed the 130th fourth guest.

A man in all black opened a crack behind the door and looked inside.

"Please come in."

The door creaked and opened slowly, the man walked very softly, the toes landed first, then the soles and heels, carefully like a thief.

"What should I call you?"

"Shh." The man put his index finger on his lips, "Don't let them hear me."

"who are they?"

The man tiptoed to the wooden table, his eyes filled with a kind of nervous madness.The black cloth was wrapped layer by layer from under the neck, even the palm was covered, leaving only five fingers exposed.

"Shh, don't talk, the secrets here must not be leaked."

I raised my eyebrows, and the jade bracelet on my left wrist flew into the air to form a gate of void, behind which was a dark vortex.

I pointed to the door suspended in the air and said, "This is an absolutely safe space. If you want, we can talk inside."

The man's hands suddenly rested on my wooden table, his arms trembling: "Nowhere is absolutely safe! They! They are everywhere!"

"They? Who are they?"

He suddenly covered his head, trembling and fell to the ground: "They...they are ghosts, ghosts that exist in my mind..."

"Hell is full of ghosts and phantoms."

"Ah! Ah! No! They've been talking to me! They've been talking to me! I have no escape!"

I took back the jade bracelet in the air, and the man was already rolling on the ground.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Me, what's my name... I have many, many names..."

"What's your name now?"

"Li Li……"

"Lee what?"

"It's noisy, it's noisy, I don't remember..."

"Then I'll call you Xiao Li, is that okay? Xiao Li, can you sit on the wooden chair now?"

"They're so loud..."

"They have been arguing for so long, what are they arguing about?"

"They say I... say I'm a softie, I can't do anything in my life... I'm a failure... I've lived a life of failure..."

"Do you feel yourself a failure?"

"I'm... I'm... I didn't do anything..."

"What were you trying to do?"

"I... I forgot..."

I sighed, Xiao Li is now prostrate on all fours, staring at the floor and trembling.He was so immersed in his own world that he couldn't really hear anything I said.

The noise in his head surpassed my voice, and I could even see the winding wall of obstruction in my brain.Any other sound or message trying to enter the center of his brain bounced straight off those walls.Only a few sporadic words were barely received through the winding corridors.

"Why did you come to me today?" I continued to try to ask him.

"I, I, they made me come."

"Are they the voices in your mouth?"

"Yes Yes."

"How many voices are there?"

"A lot...a lot..."

"You count."

"Count... can't count..."

"Who talks the most and who has the loudest voice?"

Xiao Li stared at me suddenly, the seven orifices began to bleed, and a black air gushed out from his Baihua point.His eyes rolled away, his tongue stuck out, and he looked possessed.Then, the whole person was lifted up by the black air, thrown to the ceiling and fell down again.Li passed out just like that.

Black air gradually formed in the air, forming the shape of a huge goat's head.

"Writer, I heard that you are looking for me?" A voice came out of the black air, which sounded very familiar.

I didn't answer, a pair of giant wings appeared in the black air, and the proud devil stepped out of it.Mighty goat horns, with the trace of a pentagram between his eyebrows.

"Lucifer?"

The demon in front of him grinned: "I am one of Lucifer's clones, I heard you are looking for me?"

"I didn't look for you, you made a mistake. By the way, what are you doing attaching to Xiao Li?"

"Our demons have tasks for demons, and clones have tasks for clones. It's better not to ask too many questions."

I looked back at Xiao Li, who was lying face down on the ground, completely unconscious.

"So my guest today is you?"

"Who is love, who is it. This human being deserves to be ravaged like this, and you don't have to interfere too much."

"I don't want to get involved, but you're both in my office now. My office is a place to chat, as you know."

"It's really troublesome, it's really troublesome. I want to ask you to take a few words back to the world, so I came here. Don't ask about other things."

"Okay, please tell me, I will record it truthfully."

"Don't pray to the gods because of your greed, the gods have no time to deal with you.

If you want your wish to come true quickly, you might as well ask the devil.

The devil's deal is always fair. "

"Is this true?"

Lucifer grinned and showed his fangs: "Let humans judge for themselves."

At this time, a chain appeared in his left hand, and the chain instantly burned red.The other end was connected to Xiao Li's neck, and his neck was burned by the iron chain.Xiao Li woke up screaming from unconsciousness, wanting to remove the chain around his neck.

"Look at this soul, it's so painful, can you bear to ignore it?"

"This is a matter between you, I can't control it."

"Is it really so principled?"

The chain suddenly tightened, the rings became smaller and smaller, Xiao Li's screams were lost, a head was cut off alive, and rolled on the ground several times.Lucifer snapped his fingers, and his head returned to Xiao Li's body. The chains were still burning, and Xiao Li continued to suffer the inhuman torture.

"Aren't you going to intervene?"

"You want me to intervene because there is a relevant treaty in the devil's trading rules. If I intervene, I will become one of the parties to the transaction. You dragged me into this inexplicable transaction for no reason, no need."

"Hey, be cautious as always."

"The souls tortured by demons in hell must have their own reasons. It's miserable, but there's nothing I can do about it."

"Really bear it?"

"Please don't test my bottom line and patience, Lord Lucifer. I respect you and your work, and I hope you respect mine."

Lucifer grinned again, and he snapped his fingers.The chains and Xiao Li were gone, and the black energy behind him was absorbed into his body again.The invincible demon just now suddenly put on a suit collar and sat on a wooden chair with his legs crossed.

"Ask you something."

"One last thing, I'm tired."

"Did Lambert come later?"

"came."

"Did he tell you where to go?"

"He said he was going to play around."

Lucifer tilted his head thoughtfully and thought for a while: "Do you know what is the most important thing for us demons besides work?"

"What is it?"

"love."

"Then go find your love."

"Are you shooing me away?"

"Lord Lucifer, you've made me a little tired today, and I want to rest."

"The little official of the human soul, his physical skills are just a bit weak."

"If you visit again next time, you don't have to do this."

"I like flashy things the most."

I didn't reply, I made a "please" gesture and pointed to the door.

Lucifer was a little displeased: "This is the first time I will be kicked out in hell, you are so brave."

"It's okay. I'm timid and sleepy easily. I want to sleep."

"Because you are so tired, I will spare you this time."

"Thank you, thank you, goodbye."

A huge black air appeared behind Lucifer again, and countless screams like Xiao Li came from the billowing black air.Lucifer's eyes glowed red: "See you next time, writing."

I waved my hand weakly, watching Lucifer's figure disappear into the black air, and the last pair of red eyes slowly digested in the scream of the soul.
