Chapter 49: Luo Lin's Deal with the Gate

"I am indeed only a mortal."

Luo Lin smiled and said that he had no intention of deliberately concealing his current sequence in front of Mr. Men. Facing different people, Luo Lin would naturally have different ways of dealing with them. As for the existence he summoned, Luo Lin was not stingy in giving the other party a little truth, which was itself a strategy.

After all, if Luo Lin's plan works, he will have a lot of time to spend with Mr. Men in the future, and disguising himself as a big boss will be detrimental to future events.

Moreover, in the eyes of smart people who have mastered key information, calling oneself a "mortal" may be better than calling oneself a "god."

At least after hearing what Luo Lin said, Bethel just looked at Luo Lin meaningfully and said, "I hope so."

It's obvious that he doesn't believe it.

Luo Lin smiled and did not explain the power sealed in his body. He just looked at Bethel and said with a smile: "So, Mr. Men, have you confirmed that this is the afterlife?"

"This is definitely not my time and space." Bethel did not deny it. In that short minute, in addition to meeting Pales, he also used his travel ability to wander around and confirmed that this world was indeed very different from the one he was familiar with.

Bethel simply looked at Luo Lin and said, "I don't know how you did it, but I don't think you brought me to this era just to reminisce with old friends."

"What do you want to do?" Bethel asked this question while looking directly into Rowling's eyes, trying to see the emotions in those golden eyes.

"If I say that I just want to make friends with the famous Mr. Men, would you believe it?" Rowling said very sincerely. This was even the truth. One of Rowling's purposes of summoning Mr. Men was indeed to make friends with the Angel King of the Men Path. He was too greedy for the Men Path's abilities.

Of course, even if he succeeded in making friends with Bethel, Luo Lin would not give up his business in Fors. After all, the saying "more friends, more paths" was an ironclad fact for Luo Lin.

Luo Lin doesn't mind having more friends with the same background at all, so that even if he falls out with one of them, he still has an alternative option to borrow strength from.

Bethel frowned slightly. He could see the sincerity in Rowling's words, but he also believed that what he said was definitely not the whole truth.

So Bethel pondered for a few seconds and then said, "I don't mind having a friend from the future, but I think making friends with me shouldn't be your only goal."

Luo Lin smiled when he heard this. He did not move his eyes away and continued to look at Mr. Men. There seemed to be some smile in his golden eyes, but also seemed not to be.

At this moment, Bethel thought of Amon for no reason. He finally understood the subtle sense of familiarity he had felt when he first met the person in front of him. The feeling the other person gave him was somewhat similar to Amon, but also different.

Luo Lin smiled and said, "I admit that besides wanting to make friends with you, Mr. Men, I also really want you to do me a small favor."

"What's the matter?" Bethel asked.

"I want to create an alternate dimension where anyone holding a specific token can instantly reach that dimension from a thousand miles away when needed, and then return to their original location. If that's not possible, then being able to pull the holder of the token to a fixed location would also be fine..."

Luo Lin described his needs, undoubtedly manually building his own "Above the Gray Mist" for a later gathering of the Fun Club. Bethel listened quietly to Luo Lin's description, then pondered for a moment before nodding. "I can indeed help you build an alternate dimension. I have the means to fulfill your request, but what can you give me?"

The request made by Luo Lin may be difficult for people from other paths, but for Bethel, it is still within His ability.

"Good question." Luo Lin was not surprised by Bethel's answer. He just smiled, a thoughtful expression on his face, and then said, "What I can give you, Mr. Bethel, is probably to try to help you get rid of the contamination of the Fallen Mother Goddess?"

Bethel's eyes instantly sharpened. He examined the man before him and said after a few seconds, "This doesn't seem to be worth the price. I never believed there are free gifts in this world."

"Yes, that's why I said it was just an [attempt] and the result is not guaranteed. In fact, I don't deny that I am very interested in the power of the external gods and want to study it, and you are a good sample." Rowling said slowly, looking at Bethel without any hesitation.

Bethel looked at him deeply and said, "That's not fun. Once you get involved, you might end up like me."

Luo Lin suddenly smiled, a little happily, and suddenly said: "Mr. Bethel, you are indeed a good man."

Of course, Rowling could tell that Bethel's words not only meant vigilance, but also a warning. The other party was wary of this unknown creature, but he really didn't want him to be contaminated by the power of the foreign gods.

This may not be concern for Rowling himself, but at least it is concern for the safety of the world.

"But please don't worry. Since I dare to do this, I must have my reasons." Luo Lin said with a smile. This was not a complete lie. Although there was an element of risk, Luo Lin was indeed confident that even if he came into contact with the power of the outer gods, the other party would most likely not be able to contaminate him.

Bethel's eyes flashed with thought when he heard this.

At this moment, Luo Lin looked up at the crimson moon outside the window. He suddenly laughed, his voice vague and tinged with a hint of teasing: "Mr. Bethel, do you know where you're going to end up?"

Bethel pursed his lips and said, "Perhaps you can tell me?"

It is not difficult to understand that for someone who can summon the past, knowing the future is not difficult to understand.

"You will become a stepping stone for Amon's advancement, a sacrifice for his advancement to Sequence 0. Of course, you volunteered. You willingly sacrificed yourself for the safety of this world."

Luo Lin paused here, turned his head to glance at Bethel, and then said, "It's a cliché ending, isn't it?"

Bethel also glanced at Luo Lin. It was hard to tell what Mr. Men was thinking at that moment. He simply raised his head and looked at the crimson moon in the sky. Suddenly, he asked, "So, is this world saved?"

"Of course..." Luo Lin's smile became even brighter when he said this, but there was not much smile in his eyes. He said: "There was another guardian who also sacrificed himself. Of course, it was not Amon."

Bethel seemed stunned for a moment, but his expression did not show much surprise. He just sighed deeply, and looked at Rowling as if he saw through something, and said, "You don't like this ending." His tone was firm.
