Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 298: Luo Lin treats Bonova online

"Really?" Rowling asked back suddenly, looking at Russell with a smile, as if as long as the other party nodded, he would immediately take out a lifetime labor contract.

"Uh..." Russell suddenly smiled awkwardly and whispered, "We can't take everything too seriously, right? There's something called a slogan..."

"Haha!" Rowling sneered as expected, but he didn't care. After all, he knew that Russell was not the kind of person who would work honestly for others for the rest of his life.

But it doesn't matter. Rowling is sure that he can get Russell to work for him as long as he still needs him. As for when he no longer needs Russell in the future, he can retire if he wants!

After all, Rowling is not a devil.

Luo Lin then looked at Bonois, smiled, stretched out his hand, and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Lucifer, you can also call me Lucifer."

"...I know you." Bonova's azure eyes looked at Luo Lin, without any surprise on his face, and asked calmly, "Are you from the Church of Evernight?"

"Strictly speaking, I'm a collaborator of the Evernight Goddess." Luo Lin smiled and looked at Bonois. "Of course, this isn't important for now. Before we get down to business, let's talk about you first."

"Bonova..." Luo Lin paused here before continuing, "You are happy because you have reunited with your father, right?"

Before Bonois could react, Russell looked him up and down in disbelief, muttering, "How can you tell he's happy?"

Luo Lin glanced at him and said, "How about you come?"

"Uh, sorry, I'll shut up, I'll shut up!" Russell smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to make a zipper-like gesture at his mouth.

Luo Lin then ignored him and just looked at Bonois again.

Bonois clearly didn't care about this little incident. He paused, as if thinking. After a few seconds, he nodded and said, "I am indeed somewhat happy. I'm not sure why, but it's probably related to my father."

Upon hearing this, Russell's eyes widened and he seemed to be in a much better mood.

Luo Lin smiled and continued, "You said you don't have love, so why are you happy to be reunited with your father?"

Bonova seemed stunned for a moment, his expression confused for a moment, then a thoughtful expression appeared. He continued, "Although the Lord broke with my father back then, I know that the Lord has always longed for my father's return. Perhaps I am happy for this."

Russell, who was cheerful just now, suddenly froze in expression. It was obvious that if he hadn't been concerned about Rowling, he would have cursed at him.

"That makes sense." Luo Lin seemed to agree with his point, nodding with a smile. Then he suddenly reached out and tapped Bonois's cuffs, saying, "Then why did you embroider a variant of 'Hometown' on your clothes?"

Bonois looked down at his cuffs, where two variations of Chinese characters were embroidered in gold. He raised his hand and stroked the pattern, then looked up at Luo Lin and said, "I don't know. I just did it subconsciously."

Bonova didn't know what the word meant. He just vaguely knew that it was very important to his father, so occasionally, he would habitually leave this unfamiliar word where he could see it, even though Bonova himself didn't know what it meant.

"How pitiful," Luo Lin sighed. He lowered his eyes to look at Bonois, a look of pity at that moment. He said, "Your heart is crying for everything he has lost, and yet you know nothing about it." Bonois's calm expression wavered slightly. He pursed his lips and instinctively retorted, "I don't."

"No?" Luo Lin didn't care about his stubbornness. He simply changed the subject and said, "In fact, your father has not been resurrected. He hasn't even truly escaped the contamination from the Mother Goddess. The reason he came to see you this time was to see you one last time before disappearing."

"You are about to lose Him completely, Bonois."

As soon as these words came out, Russell was stunned for a moment, then he realized what Rowling wanted to do. He then started to act very well, looking at Bonois with a regretful and sad look.

Bonova was stunned for a moment, and without even noticing it, his brows furrowed. He looked towards Russell almost instinctively, as if seeking confirmation. However, after meeting Russell's regretful and sad gaze, Bonova suddenly felt a little confused.

Is He...going to lose his father again?
"Look, your heart is crying again." Luo Lin spoke at this time. He looked at Bonois and said, "Of course, you can still say that you are only crying for your Lord, but we all know that is just a lie."

Bonova pursed his lips. He wanted to refute, but for some reason, he couldn't say anything.

"Bonova, do you want to listen to the voice of your heart?" Rowling suddenly asked at this time.

"What?" Bonova looked at him in confusion.

"I have the ability to amplify your emotions..." Luo Lin briefly introduced the existence of the personality mask. He looked at Bonois with a smile and said, "Do you want to wear this mask?"

Bonova listened quietly, then looked at Luo Lin and said, "There's no need to exaggerate my emotions. I'm in good shape right now, and I don't believe you."

Luo Lin smiled when he heard this and said slowly, "What if I say that if you are willing to wear it, I can save your father?"

Bonois was stunned for a moment, visibly hesitating. Then, as if he had thought of something, he said, "You're lying to me. Although I don't know exactly what's going on, Father must be working for you. You even hope that He will work for you forever. If He is really going to die soon, then there's no point in Him working for you forever."

"Very clever." Faced with his lie being exposed, Luo Lin didn't seem to feel guilty at all. His smile even brightened. He reached out and lightly tapped the corner of Bonois' mouth, saying, "Look, you're smiling. You're happy because this is a lie."

When Bonois heard this, he raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth, and sure enough, he felt the upward curve.

He is indeed laughing.

Why is He laughing?
Bonois was a little confused.

Luo Lin said slowly: "Admit it, Bonois, you love your father as much as he loves you."

Bonova opened his mouth when he heard this, wanting to say something but in the end said nothing.

Luo Lin continued, "I know you feel there's no need to change your current situation. Admittedly, your situation is even more troublesome than the Archon of Death. He at least has the will to save himself, but you don't even have that intention."
