Mystery: My Encounters with the Celestial God

Chapter 494 Not Drinking Coconut Juice Means Being an Undercover Agent (6.2K)

"You..."

The old man, with white hair and beard and wearing a hooded robe, frowned slightly. Even his thousands of years of experience could not withstand this sudden denunciation.

Is this much sincerity?

There are many kinds of whistleblowing, and Ron's whistleblowing is clearly not something a moral person would do.

Agostino was somewhat undecided. There were still many suspicious points about the young man in front of him, but this act of breaking ties with Bernadette inadvertently added to his credibility.

Compared to evil gods such as the "True Creator" and the "Primal Witch," the lethality of the "Hidden Sage" lies entirely in another aspect.

Other evil gods distort the values ​​and thoughts of their followers, while the "Hidden Sage" learns to the point of death if he can't die.

Admittedly, some people with less learning ability may be transformed by this hidden entity, but most of them will lose control and eventually become monsters.

This resulted in the fact that within the "Morse Ascetic Order," those who believed in the "Hidden Sage" were not necessarily "one of their own."

"Are you an undercover agent?"

Agostino stared blankly at Cattleya, who had been kicked to the ground by Ron, with his emotionless gray eyes, while being very cautious and not touching the scattered "evidence".

Upon hearing this, Gadriya, with her deep purple eyes, twitched the corner of her mouth. Her face was ashen, and she pointed at Ron, shouting her defense as if she had lost her temper.

"I didn't! He's the undercover agent!"

Regardless of the circumstances, this pretty boy has most likely betrayed the Queen. That damned guy must have planned all of this before even boarding the ship.

The Queen has been deceived; I am a victim who was tricked into coming here!

In an instant, the memories that flashed through Gadria's mind corresponded to Ron's various actions after boarding the Future.

First, he caused all sorts of trouble to attract her attention elsewhere, and then he tricked her into coming here with vague excuses. Everything was exactly as she expected!

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

How could I have unknowingly trusted this guy with no background!

"Lord Agostino, please believe me, he is the one who harbors ill intentions towards the 'Morse Penitentiary'!"

The thought raced through her mind, and Cattleya decided to strike first.

Since you betrayed me first, let's hurt each other and see who can outmaneuver whom.

"Enough! I can judge for myself whether you're a traitor or not, but you can't slander this gentleman!"

Agostino pointed at Ron and snorted coldly. Without giving Cattleya time to explain, he raised his hand slightly, and invisible starlight ropes bound her tightly.

?

Are you crazy?!

Cattleya suddenly felt brain-damaged and became completely stupid. She just looked at the angels of the "Morse Penitentiary" with her purple eyes as if they were idiots.

Can't you see such obvious ill intentions?

Seeing this, Ron just grumbled and made sarcastic remarks, looking like a smug little man.

"Exactly, exactly! We, the 'Morse Ascetic Order,' will not listen to the explanations of a traitor like you!"

Fuck you!

The purple-eyed woman clenched her fists, her bound body struggling violently, letting out wild roars from her throat. She looked as if she was ready to jump up and slap Ron across the face, regardless of the cost.

But the next second, she felt as if she had been electrocuted, and a possibility suddenly came to her mind.

"No, it's not that Agostino was unguarded with him, but rather that she was certain his stance wasn't aligned with the Queen's, which is why she said those words..."

Is this an attempt to win them over?

So this isn't a question of trust, but rather whether the two sides are enemies.

Is this the way to quickly gain trust in a short period of time?

"This cunning fox, I'm really going to be caught in this trap..."

His golden eyes, like a dazzling sun, swept over the stiff and gloomy expression of the "Star General".

Ron kicked Gadria's backside, which was hidden under her ornate wizard robes.

"I said, do you still want this traitor? If not, I'll kill him."

"I believe you've sensed my sincerity. Can we talk about serious matters now?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Cattleya by the neck.

"Cough cough cough..."

The blond boy's hand tightened suddenly and mercilessly, and it looked as if he was about to crush her fragile throat.

"Sir, this is an internal matter, so please don't trouble yourself with it."

Ron's ruthlessness made Agostino's eyelids twitch and his body tense like a brick. He quickly stepped forward to stop him, thus saving the "Admiral of the Stars" from death.

To be honest, Agostino had just intended to test Ron with Cattleya's life to see if he was faking it.

Before He could find an opportunity to create a deadly situation, Ron took matters into his own hands and tried to kill Cattleya.

This act of giving birth even made this cultist feel a chill run down his spine.

"Ruthless and vicious. If we really follow his theory of relationships, Cattleya should be considered his adopted daughter. How could he do this to her?"

"Compared to him, I seem like a good person..."

With a heavy heart, Agostino took a deep breath and finally suppressed his doubts.

Even if this pretty boy really is secretly plotting something with the mysterious queen, the price is far too high.

Moreover, and most importantly, this is simply not an arrangement that Bernadette could make!

"Ah, Your Excellency, I would like to know the purpose of your visit."

He hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously in a hoarse voice.

Ron's actions convinced Agostino; after all, such an extreme, vicious, and ruthless person was rare, and it didn't seem like an act at all.

Hearing this, the blond boy's brows relaxed slightly, and he curled up the corners of his mouth into a slightly neurotic smile, saying:

"My demand is simple: kill Bernadette. I want to kill her with my own hands!"

Is this guy crazy? Didn't you betray him first and even steal his sealed artifact?

What makes you speak without any pretense, and even so confidently?

Why?

Having discovered a part of Ron's "essence," Agostino then asked a question, while his gaze thoughtfully fell upon the "wishing lamp" hanging from the boy's waist.

"Why!?"

"You ask me why!?"

Upon hearing this question, the blond boy's nervous smile widened.

He kicked the completely stunned Gadriya in a fit of rage, then his eyes flashed with a maddening glint as he cursed:

"That bitch is even more difficult to deal with than her father. She's insatiable, and she's fixated on me!"

"She treated me like a plaything. No matter how fiercely I resisted, she saw it as a source of amusement. I couldn't bear this inhuman life any longer, so I found a chance to escape..."

At this point, Ron's handsome face suddenly darkened, and he shook the "wishing lamp" at his waist, mumbling:

"I don't know how she bound this sealed artifact to me. It makes me feel like I'm not myself. Although it allows me to easily control the genie inside, the price is unbearable distortion."

"I think you should be able to solve this small problem."

I see……

"So that's how it is."

Looking at the boy's pitiful and frail body, Agostino suddenly realized what was happening, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.

"This pretty boy is too pitiful. Bernadette seemed to want him to be the new owner of 0-05 in order to refresh the number of wishes, but some accident happened."

"He came to the Morse Order partly to seek revenge, and partly to eliminate this potential threat..."

Ron's words are deceitful; even without using extraordinary abilities, he can still fool the angels before him.

The "God of Time and Space" is, after all, a being of the highest rank in the entire world. Even if the "God of Mischief," Amon, were to come, he would not be able to distinguish between truth and falsehood in the lies told by such a being.

This leads to...

"He was telling the truth!"

Agostino was completely shocked; he had never seen anything so absurd in all his thousands of years of life.

"Alright, the Morse Penitentiary welcomes you!"

He acted decisively, no longer doubting whether Ron had any problems, and directly expressed his willingness to accept him.

This isn't some undercover agent; this is clearly a treasure-delivering boy!

Agostino looked at the wishing lamp, his heart burning slightly. The current developments were exactly as he had predicted, which greatly reassured him.

So what if she's Rosell's eldest daughter? So what if she has a lot of level zero sealed artifacts? Right now, we have the advantage because the enemy is few and we have the strength!

Upon hearing this, the blond boy's handsome face immediately lit up with joy. His brows relaxed, and he no longer looked tense. He then asked again:

"Looks like I won my bet. When are you going to fix this broken lamp for me?"

Upon hearing this, the old man with white hair and a long beard was visibly taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said:

"We can do it now, but we need to find out what your relationship with 0-05 is right now."

What kind of accident could have allowed a Sequence 5 to wield this terrifying sealed artifact? If I could figure it out and gain that power as well, then…

At the thought of this, even Agostino's heart, which had seen many storms, couldn't help but pound.

After all, the "genie" had almost executed him on the spot.

If Ron knew what Old Deng was really thinking, he would probably burst out laughing regardless of the occasion.

Controlling the "Wishing Lamp" requires no skill whatsoever; it's simply a matter of overwhelming numerical superiority.

However, to go all out, Ron didn't stop. He raised his hand and rubbed the magic lamp at his waist, immediately demonstrating the 108 uses of the "genie".

"I want coconut juice!"

The golden, twisted figure had just appeared when it heard this bastard command that made its vision go black.

Where am I supposed to find coconut juice for you in this desolate wilderness?

We are collaborators, I am not your servant!

Even though the "genie's" face is distorted and blurry, you can still tell that he has a sour face.

"I want to drink coconut juice."

The blond boy emphasized it again, while glancing at the twisted golden figure standing still.

"..."

The Child of Chaos remained silent, then considerately flew to the other side of the island and found a few coconuts.

Fine, you're awesome, you call the shots!

"?"

Agostino stood there blankly, speechless, his mind racing, but the absurd scene before him seemed to be out of his control.

This must be some kind of rule that has bound 0-05 to itself...

Mysticism is truly amazing.

"That's basically it. As long as I don't make wishes, everything is fine. It's just that being bound together like this means I can hear something whispering in my ear all the time..."

Ron shrugged, feigning nonchalance, and then irritably cracked open the coconut shell.

As he drank, he tossed one to Agostino across from him, then knocked open a new one, crouched down, and brought it to Cattleya's lips.

Ron asked with a smile:

Would you like some coconut juice?

"roll!"

Cattleya naturally didn't have a good impression of this guy who had betrayed her and the Queen.

However, she was also wondering how much of what Ron had said was true and how much was false.

Because she knew the Queen was definitely not that kind of person.

I can't tell them apart, I really can't!

"Ha, so he really is an undercover agent; he doesn't even drink coconut juice."

Ron sneered and kicked the helpless Cattleya again.

At this moment, Agostino, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice:

"I think I understand the problem, but to unbind what you call 'binding,' I need to see 0-05."

"..."

What do you understand?

"Do I look like an idiot to you?" Ron asked.

"It doesn't seem like it, but it's the only way to solve the problem. You've already learned my identity from Cattleya, so you should understand that only angels can help you..."

You fucking bastard!

The blond boy cursed under his breath and curled his lip in disdain.

Are all the people in this extraordinary world so good at taking advantage of loopholes?

He pretended to hesitate for a few seconds, then finally nodded and tossed the wishing lamp over without saying a word.

"I hope you succeed. This sealed artifact will return on its own after it has been away from me for a certain period of time."

At this point, the boy paused, then changed the subject to something completely unrelated.

"Since you're so sincere, I might as well tell you some information that Bernadette revealed to me in bed."

"She said she had found Rosell's belongings, which had not fallen into the hands of the Steam Church, but had long been cut up by her father as an inheritance for her."

As soon as he said this, Agostino, who had just grabbed the wishing lamp and was hidden under his black robe, suddenly started breathing heavily, and then disappeared as if he had never been there.

He gave a deep look to the pretty boy who had betrayed Bernadette, his thoughts unreadable.

"I understand. This information is very important. You will stay here for the time being. This is a hidden stronghold of the 'Morse Penitentiary,' and it's very safe."

As soon as he finished speaking, the angel's figure suddenly faded and was about to disappear. Upon seeing this, Ron immediately revealed his signature maniacal smile and pointed to the "Star Admiral" who had become virtually invisible.

"And what about her?"

"She's yours now. This is your first step in getting revenge on Bernadette, isn't it?"

The island was empty, with only a gentle breeze and two figures standing and lying down.

Ron's gaze swept over her, making Gadria's heart skip a beat. She was about to open her mouth and curse him to die with dignity when she found that the starlight ropes binding her instantly shattered into stardust, leaving no trace.

Her ears twitched as she heard the boy's arrogant voice.

"Your acting is quite good. I was thinking about how to make you believe I really betrayed you, but I didn't expect you to be so smart. You didn't doubt my acting at all and reacted immediately!"

"The transition was perfect!"

Ron gave a thumbs up.

"."

"Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya's face twitched violently, then she forced out a smile.

"This is the simplest thing ever; I don't even need to think about it, I can react instantly!"

In fact, I was so scared at the time that I didn't have time to think.

Silently adding the second half of the sentence in his mind, his deep purple eyes, filled with complex emotions, carefully examined Ron, and asked in a strange tone:

"What you just said, and the news the Queen spread, is it true?"

After all, Ron fit the description of a gigolo quite well in her eyes at this moment.

"That's all fake. Are you a curly-haired baboon? You actually believe that?"

Hearing this sarcastic remark, Cattleya visibly breathed a sigh of relief. If she had to acknowledge someone else as her father, she would be incredibly embarrassed.

"So, is my mission complete? Now that you've exposed my identity, the Star Pirate Crew will have to go into hiding for a while."

"May I leave now?"

To be honest, although she hadn't known Ron for long, and although the blond boy was so outgoing that she almost vomited blood, the thought of actually parting with him suddenly gave Cattleya a feeling of being in another world.

Finally, it's fucking over.

"Sure, it's not a big problem."

Ron nodded, his eyes reflecting Cattleya's genuine, joyful smile.

"That's great, Mr. Ron. I hope we never see each other again!" she said with a sigh of relief.

"Really? Don't be too happy yet."

With a wave of his hand, the handsome young man caused Xing Shang to vanish instantly, erasing all traces of her and even cleaning up the fate of this place.

Future number.

Her deep purple eyes snapped open, and Cattleya stumbled forward, nearly falling to the ground. She looked around in astonishment, and the hazy memories in her mind suddenly became clear, connecting with each other.

No way.

She stood frozen in place, looking with awe at the spot where Ron had just stood. Her heart was filled with fear, astonishment, and a complex mix of emotions that she couldn't calm down for a long time.

If I had known, I would have shamelessly accepted him as my father.

If a simple "Dad" could secure the protection of a great being, then in the mysterious world, probably 98% of extraordinary beings would set aside their pride.

After all, it's no different from praying to the "Eternal Sun," except one is "My Father in Heaven" and the other is "Dad."

"Forget it, no one would do something like betraying their country under those circumstances. The most important thing is to adjust things as quickly as possible and not delay the Queen's plans."

"If you really want to hide, returning to Emerald City is the best option!"

Upon thinking of this, Cattleya's tense mind suddenly relaxed, because this was a good thing for her.

An unknown island on the high seas.

An ancient and mysterious 100-meter-tall stone tower stands in the center of the island. Agostino, having returned to the tower, enters his own secret chamber.

He picked up the wishing lamp and carefully examined this "0" level sealed artifact that even the true god could not destroy.

"How could he be so easily fooled? Doesn't he know the wish-granting mechanism of the 'Wishing Lamp'?"

"If I make a wish here, the holder of 0-05 will bear the corresponding distorted consequences."

This is why Agostino did not probe further after understanding Ron's demands.

Because once Ron is tricked into giving away the "Wishing Lamp," he will be a dead man, and it's not worth Him investigating him carefully.

The extraordinary world is full of deceit and treachery; everyone there is a cunning old fox, and no one can fool anyone else.

If that's what Agostino thought, wouldn't Ron be doing the opposite, thus infiltrating the upper echelons of the Morse Ascetic Order the fastest?

In the blink of an eye, this Sequence Two "Sage" wiped the brass-colored lamp body and, mimicking Ron's previous manner, commanded in the manner he treated a servant:

"I want coconut juice!"

"."

The room, filled with parchment scrolls documenting witchcraft, was silent for a few seconds, then...

"Drink your mother's head!"

Enraged, the genie hiding inside the "Wishing Lamp" immediately appeared and slapped the ungrateful Sequence Two across the face.

"Coconut juice, coconut juice, coconut juice, drink it all, drink it all, drink it all, drink it all, drink it all, drink it all!"

The genie manipulated the chains of rules to seal off everything around him, while simultaneously radiating an aura of majesty that could pierce spirits, striking Agostino's head hard, causing him to bleed profusely and his own information to dissipate.

To be honest, the Genie has been burning with resentment ever since he started working with Ron. Although it was quite satisfying to take revenge on the "Lord of Mysteries," everyone knows what Ron Sothos is like.

If I can't take down the pillar, I can at least take down you!

Fortunately, the Genie remembered Ron's plan and was also eager to cause trouble for the Lord of Mysteries. It only beat the blasphemer half to death before retreating back into the lamp and ignoring him.

"Hahaha."

Something's not right, it wasn't like this before!

Agostino lay on the ground, panting heavily. His body had transformed into strings of blue light containing information. It took him a long time to recover from the oppressive majesty and the excruciating pain that pierced his spirit.

He looked at 0-05 in astonishment, wanting to try it again, but feeling the state of his body, he gave up on this suicidal idea.

After catching his breath for a long time, the "Sage," one of the ten pillars, got up from the ground again. With his hands trembling slightly, he picked up 0-05 and, based on the knowledge in his mind, used the correct way to use the "Wishing Lamp."

"I wish that all my injuries would heal."

In His view, He was not bound to the "Wishing Lamp," so the corresponding number of wishes must not be recorded on Him.

"Can."

The "genie" muttered inside the lamp, and with a snap of his fingers, Agostino's physical and spiritual injuries were completely healed.

But before He could even catch his breath, he suddenly heard the genie inside the "Wishing Lamp" speak again in a muffled voice:

"Since I've granted one of your wishes, in return, you should grant me three, no, thirty wishes."

Wait, something's not right!

Agostino stood frozen in place, unaware of the gravity of the situation. Just as he was about to react, he suddenly felt himself being bound by rings of chains of rules.

These rules stem from a promise He made Himself, but aside from granting wishes, He made no other promise to grant the 30 wishes of the wishing lamp!

Could it be an implicit rule, or perhaps the rules have been distorted?

This is a scam!

Just as this "sage" was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a slightly immature boy's voice behind him.

"My first wish is for you to serve me as your Lord."
