Chapter 146
Chapter 146
When he noticed that there was something different in the entire temple, the apostle was in the outer hall, and he found a few apostles who had made mistakes recently and was reprimanding them.
The ground shook suddenly, and the vase placed on the stone platform fell down and shattered with a "bang".
Several apostles looked horrified: "What happened?"
Each temple is an independent and suspended existence, and the vibration comes from the ground, which proves that the foundation of the temple itself is unstable.
Shijiao frowned, and when he looked up, he saw that the sun became dazzling and hot, and was blocked by dense dark clouds in a blink of an eye, as if a mountain rain was about to come.
Changes in the weather sometimes follow the state and mood of the archangel, and the temple is closely connected with the archangel.
Such an abnormality can only be caused by an accident on Zhiyuan's side.
The teacher thought of the golden bird's prophecy for the first time, and felt extremely disturbed.
Just as he was thinking, within a short period of time, the temple shook violently again, showing signs of collapse.
The emissary comforted the apostles and asked everyone to wait for orders in the open air, not to move around, and then hurried into the inner hall.
The more he walked towards the center of the temple, the more frightened he became. There were cracks on the ground in some parts of the inner hall, and the stone pillars in the corridor were skewed.
He tried his best not to think about the worst outcome, quickened his pace to search in the inner hall, and released a blank paper crane, followed the paper crane to the direction where Zhiyuan was.
The paper cranes flew all the way to the dormitory, and when Shijiao arrived, he saw the scene in front of him and couldn't help but gasped.
The whole sleeping hall can no longer see its original appearance, because Zhiyuan is here, and the impact is the most serious.
The collapsed stones were scattered all over the ground, only the circle around Zhiyuan survived. Standing in the middle of the ruins, he looked at the position of the previous bed, showing half of his side face with a gloomy and cold expression.
There was also a little black cat in the ruins, frantically searching everywhere, trying to lift the stones with its thin paws, to see if there was anything crushed inside.
With a trembling voice, the teacher said, "My lord..."
He checked the surroundings carefully and found that Ming Shu was not there, but some energy similar to the teleportation formation and the aura that did not belong to the heaven had appeared here.
Shijiao didn't know what happened. Wasn't he fine this morning?
Zhiyuan's state is different, which is obviously a sign of impending fall. When he completely loses his qualifications as an archangel, the temple will also collapse.
Shijiao was anxious and stepped forward to get close to Zhiyuan.
Zhiyuan didn't seem to notice his arrival, and was immersed in his thoughts alone.
He leaned over and picked up the little black cat, hugged it clumsily, and imitated Mingshu's usual method to gently stroke the top of its head.
"He also abandoned you," Zhiyuan murmured, "Isn't it?"
The little black cat "meowed" aggrievedly, hesitated for a moment, and took the initiative to rub Zhiyuan's fingers.
After hearing Zhiyuan's words clearly, Shijiao immediately understood that Mingshu should have left the temple.
With a "bang", more buildings collapsed on the periphery, and there was movement from nowhere, and the whole temple seemed to be crumbling.
At the same time, Shijiao saw the wings behind Zhiyuan drooping down, the feathers at the end showed a kind of scorched black, as if they had been burned by flames, and there were signs of gradually spreading.
"My lord!" The envoy immediately knelt down in front of the ruins, "I implore you to guard the temple, and don't cause irreparable consequences for a demon..."
He was also very remorseful in his heart, he shouldn't have left Mingshu as a time bomb, he even had fantasies, if Zhiyuan kept Mingshu by his side to satisfy his selfish desires, wouldn't he be depraved.
However, things backfired, or the prediction of the golden bird was accurate, and any efforts to change were futile.
Zhiyuan seemed to see the envoy just now, and came to him with the little black cat in his arms.
He raised his right hand slightly, and a round stone plate flew from a distance. It was given to the envoy a few days ago to stabilize the outer protective cover.
Zhiyuan retracted the disc, which meant that the protective cover was removed, and all creatures could enter and exit at will.
In the next moment, the disc split into several pieces, lost energy and fell to the ground.
The messenger watched all this helplessly, his throat was blocked and he could not speak.
"Let's go," Zhiyuan said indifferently, "This is no longer a temple."
His voice spread everywhere, and the apostles were at a loss, hesitating to stay where they were, thinking that this might be a test from the archangel.
It wasn't until cracks began to appear on the ground of the outer hall, and the buildings fell one by one, that they reacted and fled from the exit of the temple in a hurry, trying to get out before the temple collapsed.
The emissary in front of Zhiyuan remained motionless, and he still had a glimmer of hope: "Are you...are you going to abandon this place like this?"
Abandon identity, abandon all the angels who served him, and follow a demon who has left?
Zhiyuan was silent for a long time, stroking the cat in his arms.
"Sorry," he finally said, "I have something more important in my heart."
As an archangel, it is natural to put the temple first, even he himself is the temple.
But now, he couldn't do it no matter what.
Shijiao showed a complicated expression, he stood up, and faced Zhiyuan not as a subordinate for the first time: "You... Take care."
The shaking of the temple intensified, causing the priest to spread his wings and fly away.
Zhiyuan stayed where he was, and everything belonging to the archangel gradually disappeared, replaced by some strange things.
Character, restraint, scruples no longer concern him.
Until he sensed the existence of another space underground, his dark eyes raised slightly.
—
The falling light was a little far away, and the three demons couldn't see what it was.
Their level is not high, they are just ordinary demons who stay on the border. Once a creature breaks in, they will come over to see what it is, and either eat it or have some fun.
"I'll have a look later," said one of the demons. "What should I do with this waste succubus? He was arranged by the monarch after all. It wouldn't be good to eat it right away?"
"Why do you care so much?" The first demon who said that he wanted to eat Mingshu was dissatisfied. "And the monarch has been sleeping for a long time. When he wakes up, he may have forgotten about it."
Mingshu sensed some information from their conversation, the Lord of Hell is sleeping...and it has been a long time.
His mission never stopped. According to these demons, they also received the things he sent back earlier, but they didn't pay much attention to them.
Then when he comes back here, who should he talk to?He brought back the most important feather of the archangel, and the task of seduction was completed.
Immediately afterwards, the system prompt sounded.
[A new plot update has been detected, do you want to check it immediately? 】
[Ding dong - side mission released]
[Mission [-]: Escape from the hands of three demons]
[Ding dong—main mission released]
[Task [-]: Prove to the Lord of Hell that he has indeed successfully seduced the archangel and dispel his doubts]
After two new missions were released, Ming Shu glanced at them, and didn't have time to open up the updated plot.
He only noticed that the time limit for completing the main task was two full weeks, but there was only one hour left for the side task.
Even without a mission, Mingshu knew that the three demons in front of him were dangerous.
He backed away calmly: "You can't hurt me, I still need to report the situation to the monarch."
A demon asked, "What's going on?"
Ming Shu shook his head: "I can't tell you, and I have been entrusted with a heavy responsibility. If you eat me, the monarch will definitely be angry when he wakes up."
His words really made the leading demon hesitate, and the other demon was a little more timid and did not dare to take the initiative to raise objections.
The last demon was not so easy to fool, his cloudy eyeballs rolled: "You are back, what else can you say to the monarch?"
He raised the feather in his hand, which was handed over by Ming Shu not long ago: "We just have this, and when the monarch wakes up and sees this thing, can he not know the situation?"
The demon said "hey" twice, and looked at Ming Shu unscrupulously: "When the time comes, I will say that you are too useless, and you will die on the way back, and the monarch will not know."
For a long time, no creatures came in at the border, and they had been starving for months, how could they let Mingshu go easily.
As soon as the devil finished speaking, he was about to reach out and grab Mingshu.
Ming Shu instinctively dodged and turned around to run away.
The devil took his time, lifted the thick iron chain in his hand, and swung it vigorously towards Mingshu's back.
A gust of wind hit, Ming Shu wanted to dodge to the side, but accidentally kicked the gravel, unable to stabilize his body and fell to the ground.
"boom--"
There was a loud bang, but Mingshu didn't feel any pain, the iron chain didn't swing on him, and wasn't even near him.
He looked back, and saw that the demon just now was blown into the air inexplicably, and slammed hard on the rocky mountain behind, spitting blood. The remaining two demons looked in the other direction with terrified expressions.
"Heaven, angel?" The demon was so frightened that his legs limp, "Why did the angel appear here?"
Ming Shu subconsciously followed their line of sight and saw a familiar figure.
He was so pleasantly surprised and excited that he didn't have time to think about the reason why Zhiyuan appeared in hell.
At the same time, a black shadow quickly approached the two demons, and the large shadow swallowed them whole, and the screams sounded instantly.
After a while, the shadow became quiet, and the shadow shrank and receded, turning into the appearance of a little black cat.
After the little black cat dealt with the demon, "Meow Meow" yelled and ran towards Mingshu, but another figure was faster than him.
Ming Shu's eyes blurred, and he was carried in, firmly locked in the familiar embrace.
Zhiyuan was still wearing a pure white holy robe, with three pairs of wings spread out behind him. The original white feathers became mottled at this moment, with many burn marks, and the ends were even scorched black.
He pinched the back of Mingshu's neck, kissed his side face with cold lips, and whispered: "I found you."
