Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

“Mr. Chen Ming, let’s stay here. I only noticed the network’s response because of luck before, but it might not work next time. Nothing in the Abyss can be judged by common sense. It might work this time, but it might not work next time.”

Chen Ming scratched his head and said—

"But I must go, no matter what..."

He looked at the picturesque scenery and said—

"Because they must be waiting for me, willing to fall into depravity with me, how could I possibly abandon them?"

He could never let go of them in this lifetime. He had promised to be together forever, and he would never break his promise. He would never leave them alone in the abyss...

"Mr. Chen Ming..."

Miss Old opened her blue eyes slightly, looked into his eyes, and sensed the deep emotions hidden within them, as if she understood something.

He smiled helplessly and said—

"Someone must have told you, Mr. Chen Ming, that you are very stubborn, right?"

"Yes, people have been saying that all along."

Chen Ming smiled. It's always been like this. It's hard to say whether he's been spoiled by his family. He's as stubborn as an ox when he gets angry. Only his sister can guide him properly. She's known as the "cowherd."

Miss Old dusted herself off, stood up, wiggled her stiff toes, and said—

"Alright, since I can't stop you, Mr. Chen Ming, then I have no choice but to help."

She took out a thread from behind her back, grabbed his hand, and carefully gestured something on his hand while looking down, making his palm feel a little itchy.

Miss Old's hands are very soft...

Looking at her drooping flaxen hair.

Perhaps his trust in Miss Oulde also stemmed largely from that hair; the flaxen hair was like an eternal sun in his heart.

They all feel like family to my sister.

"All right."

Miss Old's voice brought him back to his senses. His gaze fell on his hand, where the thread was tied around his little finger with a cute bow.

"This is……"

Chen Ming was slightly taken aback.

Miss Old smiled and said—

“I’m holding Mr. Chen Ming’s hand here. If we encounter any danger, we must come back.”

"..."

He opened his mouth slightly. Before, when his sister said she was herding cattle, she never actually led him by a rope.

He smiled and said—

"It looks weird holding his hand like this..."

There probably isn't any special meaning behind it, right?

Will it?

Miss Urd tilted her head again, considered for a moment, tied the other end of the thread to her little finger, showed it to him, and said—

"Then I'll come along too, and it won't seem strange, right?"

"..."

No, no, no, isn't that even stranger?

Chen Ming's expression was a little strange, but seeing that the other party didn't seem to think too much about it, he swallowed his anger and said—

"Well... I'll be going now, they're still waiting for me..."

He looked around and asked—

"Um, where should we exit?"

Miss Old pulled the hand holding the thread behind her back, brought her beautiful legs together, bent slightly, pointed to the vast, sapphire-like lake, and said—

“Go deeper into here, and you can get out of the abyss.”

"I see."

Without hesitation, Chen Ming jumped down.

As I sank into the darkness below, I suddenly felt a pull and was pulled back to the shore.

He stared blankly at Miss Urd.

She scratched her head and held up her little finger, saying—

"I'm just testing whether it works, haha..."

"...Alright, I'm leaving!"

Chen Ming inexplicably became a little temperamental, feeling that Miss Urd was being a bit long-winded.

"Okay, okay, have a safe trip."

Miss Old waved and watched him leave, her blue eyes filled with melancholy.

brush brush...

The gentle breeze continued to caress the grass, the lake, and her hair. She sat quietly by the lake, her hands on her knees, her little finger holding a silk thread.

She gazed at this scene that had witnessed countless years, speechless for a long time.

only……

Why do I feel a little lonely this time...?

The heart, which had already been dormant, was now imprisoned as if atonement, asking for nothing, and perhaps one day it would wither away completely.

But why did she let him break her peace again...?

My heart, which I thought had grown accustomed to loneliness, began to beat again.

Being able to say even a few words is a cause for great joy.

What's more terrifying than despair is seeing a glimmer of hope amidst despair...

I'm afraid this ray of light is just an illusion.

fleeting.

Chapter 819 Bringing Back Girls Wherever He Goes

The clear lake water enveloped him, but instead of suffocating him, it gave him a healing feeling, similar to being bathed in Raphael's angelic light, but with a difference: it leaned towards an abundance of life force.

As it slowly sank, the lake water receded into the distance, and then the boundary between azure and darkness came into view. Watching the terrifying darkness intertwine with the blue lake water, it was as if a horrifying monster was tearing at it.

To be honest, it was still a bit scary. After all, Chen Ming was just an ordinary person, and looking at the boundless darkness, he felt a little apprehensive.

But when he thought about how they were still waiting for him, how they were trapped inside waiting for him, then there was nothing to hesitate about.

He rushed in, disappearing into the darkness, with only a thin thread swaying in the lake water, stirring someone's emotions...

……

The terrifying howl filled his ears again. Although there was darkness before his eyes, it felt as if something was tearing at his mind.

Om-!

A small halo suddenly appeared, shining holy light in the darkness and protecting his clarity.

The scene before me slowly began to clear, but it was filled with countless flickering images, some of which were completely unrelated, like jumbled lines, all tangled together.

Where are they?

Cerberus, Gu Qing, the seamstress...

Even with the small halo protecting him, his brain still couldn't handle so much clutter, and his consciousness slowly drifted away again.

My thoughts are still with those few people who got lost...

Before losing consciousness, I seemed to vaguely hear Miss Old's voice—

"In the abyss, you never know where you'll get lost. You can only call out with unwavering faith, and perhaps a miracle will happen... I believe Mr. Chen Ming can do it..."

Miss Old...

Chen Ming stared at the thread on his little finger, and suddenly everything went black.

……

……

After hearing the angels' explanation, the family members were all worried about Chen Ming and the others who had fallen into the abyss. After finishing their meal, Lucifer helped his sister clear the dishes in silence.

Her older sister glanced at her, smiled, and said—

"It's the same old story. Pretending to be calm while secretly sulking. Sometimes, the more anxious and agitated you are, the less likely you are to get things resolved. So, for his sake, let's relax for now."

"Sister...am I really useless?"

Lucifer kept his head down.

My sister said—

"The mighty Lucifer says he's useless? What are others supposed to do then? Hmm... do you want your sister to praise you? A virtuous wife, a dutiful daughter-in-law, the ruler of hell, the conqueror of heaven, the all-around Lucifer?"

"..."

Lucifer blushed, looking at his sister's smiling face, knowing that she was joking with him, but still shyly scratching the soles of his shoes with his toes.

"I've lost my husband..."

In the face of this matter, everything else is meaningless.

Her older sister continued to tease her—

"You think you've lost him, but he might find it very interesting. He lost him once and brought back two from heaven. This time he went to the abyss and might bring back some 'specialties'. Then he'll innocently wink at you and ask why you're in such a hurry."

"..."

Lucifer thought back to his time in Heaven, where he had indeed looked completely innocent, yet he had "conquered" the entire Heaven, leaving everyone both amused and exasperated.
