"Don't say that name."

Lazy's voice was obviously a step slower than the other person. When the young man's eyes turned to him, Lazy lowered his head uncomfortably, as if he couldn't bear the thought behind these two words. The weight, and the arrogant eyes were so cold and contemptuous, unexpectedly full of aggression.

But when Yu Ziyu looked at him and impatiently waved away his gaze towards Lazy, his expression relaxed and he subconsciously showed awe.

Yu Ziyu was standing between them.

Only then did they realize belatedly that he did not give any reaction, but seemed to be standing idle looking out the window, as if the few people standing in front of him - these miserable monsters were not here. It seemed like some explosive news had been brought to him a few minutes ago.

It seems that for Yu Ziyu, this news is nothing.

"Master... aren't you surprised?" Behind him, Lazy whispered.

"Hmm." Yu Ziyu played with the dagger in his hand, looked away, sneered, and glanced at Arrogance, "It depends on how you define it. Does it really matter whether I am arrogant or not?" I thought you would know what I was thinking after being with me for so long."

"But...?"

"I don't like people asking me questions."

Greedy was startled, and he seemed to realize something . The stained bear toy fell to the ground, but it just pulled at the hem of its skirt nervously.

"But, what does this have to do with me?" Yu Ziyu put the daggers back into his pocket without any expression, and glanced at them, "Whether I am arrogant or not, who am I? It doesn't matter at all, the only important thing is that I I won't go back. I hope you all stay away from me. "

"If I weren't arrogant, would you do this and not come to me?"

After the words fell, there was no answer, only the difficulty caused by the naked idea. Gasping, this reaction was obviously what Yu Ziyu expected.

"It seems that you all know this. So, this has no impact on me."

Laziness and greed were speechless at the same time, especially the former, who finally realized that everything Yu Ziyu said was true two years later. - He, he doesn't want to have anything to do with them at all. Other than that, Yu Ziyu is just talking about it, just like he hates the boss but still keeps him by his side... But maybe, that's just a passive response, After all, it didn't cause him any trouble, and it didn't matter if he had one more pet.

For Yu Ziyu, the truth about Hell Paradise is actually not that important.

It couldn't believe that it hadn't thought of this until now. Maybe it had been hinted at a long time ago because Yu Ziyu had hidden from them that he was not active or interested in anything at all. Otherwise, they would never have delayed the matter for so long. After all, The crushing level of strength has explained everything.

"No." Suddenly, a voice sounded, almost erupting on the spot, staring at him in arrogance and disbelief, clenching his knuckles, "How could you say such a thing, after you did so to me? After so long, how can you—"

Hearing this, Yu Ziyu looked at Arrogance again, as if there was nothing special about him.

Strictly speaking, his attitude was even a little impatient. He was arrogant and could not deceive himself when he received such a look.

He planned everything and deliberately revealed his true identity in front of Yu Ziyu. He carefully prepared a terrible mystery for him. He was the only audience he cared about. But when the play was released, everything did not go as he expected. Development, because of arrogance, what I didn't expect was that Yu Ziyu didn't care at all.

This mediocre reaction was obviously the last straw that overwhelmed the other party.

Arrogant stumbled back, his body swaying, as if it was Yu Ziyu who had just revealed the truth. He showed a shocked expression, looked at Yu Ziyu, forgot to cover up his collapse, and said in a desperate tone: "You can't just treat me like this. , Never take me seriously, as if I can't possibly..."

Seeing this, Lazy almost sympathized with him.

Monsters like them, no matter how they behave, seem to be unable to attract Yu Ziyu's attention - considering the true identity of the other party, it can be said to be completely higher than their level and not in the same class as them, and such existence will not Looking down, he would only look towards the light, ignoring the servants kneeling at his feet.

This is also the reason why Lazy can stay with Yu Ziyu - he recognized his identity very early and chose to give up.

Just following him, hiding in the shadows, was the way to see him, to have him secretly and privately.

"Explain it. After all, I don't know what you are talking about. It sounds boring." Yu Ziyu glanced at him, completely like an indifferent bystander, and said calmly, "Maybe I can express sympathy to you politely. Then kill you to complete the mission."

"But... I still have doubts

about this mission." Yu Ziyu didn't think about its contradictions because he was busy dealing with Lou Chen, but now that he thought about it, this game system appeared. The timing is really clever, but it obviously remembers who its owner is, but if Arrogance can see its own panel, its covering up will become some kind of subtle reminder to Yu Ziyu.

"..."

He touched his lower lip and said thoughtfully: "Actually, I had some guesses at the beginning, about Lou Chen... Oh, you should know that I saw him, right? Or is this you? Arranged? It was really bad enough. If I didn't see him again, I might think that what happened before was reasonable, you know, he betrayed me and took away my blood and part of my power, but in At the banquet, I changed my mind. He might not have done that."

Yu Ziyu paused: "Is this the longest sentence I have said so far?"

Obviously, no one present was caught by his cold joke. move.

He already discovered something was wrong when Lou Chen clumsily cut his palm open and let the blood flow out. He got his blood and power, but put it all into his body to hurt It's stupid to be able to carry out suicide attacks in your own way.

A long time ago, when Yu Ziyu was involved in a murder case for the first time and had to participate in the pagan ritual, it was already stated clearly that blood is the source of all summons, probably because it is the source of all summons. The basis for survival, and the reason why it only flows in a living group.

The madness of the jealous girl and the blood of the boy whose throat was cut jointly established the successful arrival of jealousy. Such arrival is limited, so it will directly kill the girl and take away her heart just to recycle it. This part responds to the power of the call.

And half an hour ago, Yu Ziyu experienced that bad, wet, not very romantic kiss.

The moment Lou Chen walked towards him, he realized what he was going to do to him. He originally thought there would be a little skin-to-skin contact, but what he didn't expect was that he tasted Lou Chen's breath on his tongue. , the blood inadvertently slipped in from their intertwined lips, Lou Chen stroked his short hair, licked his mouth vigorously, as if he would never have the chance to do this, in just a few seconds Bell, Yu Ziyu let him move.

He even got lost in the passionate kiss.

——Don't Lou Chen know that this will cause the power he stole to return to Yu Ziyu from him?

But despite all the power contained in the blood, it did not respond to the call and return to Yu Ziyu.

After Lou Chen moved away, Yu Ziyu saw his eyes. He was still immersed in the violent impact of his identity. From those light brown eyes, he could not find any relevant information. Therefore, he could reasonably conclude that Lou Chen was not the person who stole it from him at all.

Perhaps, he didn't know about it at all, so it was even more impossible to talk about betrayal.

If Yu Ziyu had to give an accurate explanation, he would think that Lou Chen became a container that took away this part of his power. They were locked in his human body and fused with his blood. Only he was injured. It can only be seen when blood is shed, which completely confirms his idea.

"You are my supervisor!" Arrogant suppressed his angry words as if he was accusing him.

Yu Ziyu looked at him expressionlessly.

Arrogant and anxious, he took a step forward, waving his limbs in mid-air, and a hint of madness in his deep eyes. All the previous smug expressions disappeared, as if he was desperately trying to anger Yu Ziyu: "You are... a traitor. You betrayed our agreement. You betrayed me. You are a liar who makes promises casually and lies without keeping your word. You promised me that you would not leave -"

He seemed to There are too many accusations that I want to say, but when the words come to my mouth, they lose the polish of the words, leaving empty accusations.

"I am your first prisoner, don't treat me with this attitude." Finally, Arrogance whispered.

"Stop talking nonsense. I don't remember." However, Yu Ziyu interrupted him coldly, "As you said before, you did something to me, so I don't remember any of it, so you need to bear the consequences yourself. Bear, you are just a stranger to me."

"You really shouldn't do this." Lazy whispered, "I told you, don't do this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Arrogance looked at Lazy. There was something terrifying inside that made the latter subconsciously take a step back.

Apparently, Laziness was hiding something from him.

"Shut up! You... are lazy, you are a thief." The corners of his arrogant mouth were twisted with resentment, making his originally exquisite facial features rough like some kind of beast. The word thief obviously stung Lazy, and his stiff expression Jean Pride smiled triumphantly again.

"Let me tell you the truth, Master. You must have heard your own rumors. During the Hell Paradise, the bug-level boss was always followed by a poisonous snake... It was not someone else. It was not the one who followed you and pretended to be loyal, but in fact was not loyal at all. It's me who has no independent thoughts."

When he commented like this, the corners of his lazy mouth twitched, but he didn't refute.

Since they have been forced to abandon their names when they were alive and be named after the nicknames of the seven deadly sins, their abilities are certainly related to their titles, and the snakes that lure humans to sin under the apple trees in the Garden of Eden are The legend is only related to arrogance.

So, how could that person be lazy?

He was the snake who had been following Yu Ziyu, but laziness took advantage of him and stole the fruits of victory after he realized his perfect plan.

Hearing this, he glanced at Yu Ziyu lazily and subconsciously, opened his mouth, and defended dryly: "I never said that I was -"

"I know it wasn't. I was just misled, and I didn't become a fool."

Yu Ziyu Looking at the arrogant person who was stunned on the spot, he straightened his shirt and said calmly: "Ten minutes."

"What?"

"I'll give you another ten minutes to complain." Yu Ziyu raised his eyebrows and moved the buttons on his wrists. Luxury watch, "Because I'm in a good mood now."

Arrogance made a choked sound.

This was the second time he was frustrated because the other person was not interested in any of the answers he gave.

"......"

good mood?

Lazy glanced at his master silently, then shrank back.

Could it be because he discovered that Lou Chen was not involved, and those entanglements might just be misunderstandings... The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Lazy has not seen Lou Chen too many times. It only observed Yu Ziyu in the dark when they came to its domain as a game player and the other party to break through the levels. It did not dare and did not have the ability to do anything to Yu Ziyu. After all, the master's aura Even if it is deliberately isolated, low-level alienated monsters can be directly driven away.

But Lou Chen is different.

It is very curious about this human being, so curious that it violates its nature of not interfering with the copy, and wants to take the initiative to kill Lou Chen so that it can dissect this human being and find out the reason why Yu Ziyu is interested in him. It is lazy and wants to do some research and find the owner. hobbies, this may give the other party more time to patronize.

It wanted to play with the human as it had done before, but when it stretched out its tentacles from the shadows, it suddenly realized why.

Obviously, Lou Chen is such an arrogant person.

He could actually be so self-righteous and rather slow to deliberately ignore the fact that Yu Ziyu did not need his protection, wishfully thinking that he was the strongest player in this game, and that the master was some kind of responsibility that he had to protect and sacrifice his life for. Means to drive all danger away from the owner.

The problem is, everyone can see that Yu Ziyu is unusual and extremely powerful.

The reason why the master did not take action and just stood and watched from a distance was because as long as he thought about it, without even moving a finger, those terrifying monsters would instantly disappear in front of him, and when he moved towards a certain copy, As he walked deeper into the maze, the mysteries would intuitively collapse for him, humbly waiting for his passage.

He didn't need protection at all. No one dared to mention this in front of him. Only Lou Chen knowingly committed the crime - so, regarding this matter, he was naturally the most arrogant person. Lazy thought, he could understand why his master teamed up with him, because no one had ever done this to him.

They never dared to have such thoughts because they knew how powerful Yu Ziyu was, but Lou Chen saw this and still did it. So he is the first and only person to treat his master like this.

He looked at him as if he were a precious and fragile object, rather than an object to be feared. He was not scared because of Yu Ziyu's expressionless look, nor did he tremble subconsciously because of his approach. Not being afraid of him was enough to make Yu Ziyu interested in him.

Lazy thought, Yu Ziyu is quite egotistical. He will not hide his true nature just because he is among normal people. He does not even bother to act and let himself blend in hypocritically. Therefore, when a person who is used to facing other people's fearful expressions , when you meet the only person who is not affected, everything becomes logical.

Even when they met again in the real world -

Lazy had to admit that even if Lou Chen didn't remember, the incident still happened again. No matter what identity Yu Ziyu appeared in, the weak photographer and game official who was forced to be involved in the mystery A kind of savior and said to be the most terrifying boss, he shows the same protective desire.

Although Lazy already knew how to interest Yu Ziyu by observing Lou Chen, it found that it simply couldn't do it.

It really loves Yu Ziyu deeply. There is no doubt that it is willing to do anything for Yu Ziyu, meet any of its requirements, and die for him. However, it is also very afraid of his moodiness. This is something engraved in its bones. He couldn't change the way it would subconsciously shrink when he was angry.

Since the real reason why Yu Ziyu left Hell Paradise was because he was tired of everything in the darkness and wanted a normal life, then it is understandable and natural that he wants Lou Chen. He can represent that he wants of all things.

Lazy was not speaking for Lou Chen, but when he saw Arrogant's face on the verge of collapse, he suddenly remembered this.

A sad feeling gradually took over his chest.

"No matter what, this is you." Arrogance murmured, trembling, "Always cruel, inhumane to the point of frightening."

Yu Ziyu ignored his words.

"I should be afraid of you, like I'm doing," he continued, looking away, having to admit it.

It is not shameful to admit that Yu Ziyu is terrible, because this is the consensus of everyone.

It was obviously Arrogance himself who made a sudden appearance, but it quickly became the home field controlled by Yu Ziyu - although Arrogance was the real master of the seventh-level game, he couldn't control his aura at all, and Yu Ziyu directly beat him hard with an understatement. Being at a disadvantage, he didn't care about these conspiracies at all.

Arrogance is completely reduced to passivity.

In terms of strength, he could not be Yu Ziyu's opponent at all, but in front of the carefully prepared puzzle, Yu Ziyu was not interested at all.

Why is this happening? How can you do this?

"Or do you want to return your real memories to me, and then let me punish you directly?" Yu Ziyu smiled impatiently. It was an icy smile, with a biting coldness, which was more terrifying than a blank face. , "I know that if you dare to take the risk to attack me, it must be because I have left you with no way to retreat."

"I don't want to do it again."

He cast a glance in the arrogant direction, which already explained what he meant.

"...I understand, I will explain clearly."

Faced with Yu Ziyu's threat, Arrogance found that in this extremely embarrassing situation, he had to choose to compromise.

He couldn't beat Yu Ziyu. The reason why he appeared here was to defeat the opponent psychologically. But what he didn't expect was that Yu Ziyu didn't care about the past at all. He even realized that the other party had not betrayed him because of Lou Chen's sudden kiss—— This was the only loophole that Arrogance could find, and it was useless now.

His lips trembled and he stared at Yu Ziyu. After a few seconds, he clearly realized that the other party would not give him another chance. The corners of his mouth twisted and he turned his head to look at the ground: "In the beginning... it was just us. . All I want is for you to stay in Hell Paradise. I don't want to care about the living humans who entered by mistake, but you convinced me that they should not stay in Hell to pollute the darkness. I agreed, so we started to try to build it. Game. "

It was a prison, and humans could not be sent out without violating the rules. They tried many methods, but they all ended in failure. Although the prototype of the game had been built, Yu Ziyu even arranged a A boss came to enforce order, but they still did not allow the prisoners to leave.

After all, these are the rules. The reason why Yu Ziyu has privileges is that he is the owner of this prison, but it also has its own ideas. It wants to live, and this is impossible without Yu Ziyu's existence, because it needs to serve him.

The reason why Arrogance and Doubt were so restrictive was that they couldn't bear Yu Ziyu's departure, but this eventually became a reality.

Out of fun, Arrogance agreed that he would set up the identity of a savior to prevent the humans who had fallen here from falling into despair. However, unexpectedly, Yu Ziyu had a sudden idea and decided to try to see if he could return to the real world as a player. So he assumed the identity of the savior and joined the ranks of the players.

He ordered Arrogance to stay on the seventh floor, and he selected a player with the most potential, preparing to send the other player to the top for the purpose of teaming up. This is the beginning of everything. But Arrogance has been looking at Yu Ziyu through the eyes of various monsters. What did he do with that guy? When he discovered that Yu Ziyu had never intervened in the prisoners' internal fighting, but spent all his time with Lou Chen protecting him, and his probing eyes were on Lou Chen for a long time, he arrogantly and keenly Realize that something is about to happen.

However, when they reached the seventh floor and realized that they could succeed this time, he really planned to leave.

"You want to defeat me, just like you do to all those monsters who are not worth mentioning, kneeling at your feet begging for sight, and leave with your human boyfriend?" The arrogant look said, even after nearly two years, recalling The thought still sent him into a frenzy.

Yu Ziyu frowned: "He is not my boyfriend."

Although Lou Chen did kiss him, and he did not object to the bloody kiss, there is still a difference between someone's boyfriend and the object of his affection.

"No matter what you say." Arrogance showed a disdainful expression, "You don't have to worry that I can't accept this. I've seen the way he looks at you. It's really disgustingly affectionate. Since we all treat you like this, I He's not so dull, he likes you."

"...Oh."

Yu Ziyu looked at Greed, then looked back at Lazy, and found that their expressions had not changed, as if they accepted the arrogant statement, and his brows furrowed. So, what wrong impression did he leave on them, making them think that Lou Chen was his potential boyfriend?

No, he doesn't necessarily like men at all, nor does he necessarily like living creatures.

After all the only word that appears in the dictionary for things he likes is "apple" and he likes to eat it, which says it all.

"But, do I like him?" Yu Ziyu asked doubtfully for the first time.

He loosened his arms and stood upright.

At the same time, Lou Chen's face flashed in his mind - it was indeed a handsome young man's face. His black hair was spread messily on the top of his head, and his light brown eyes were always revealing. Be sincere, but reveal a true and cold expression when making certain decisions.

The most important thing is that he always looks at Yu Ziyu with that longing look, as if getting his nod is enough. There is no need to worry about being around him, because Lou Chen will solve everything before him, always so The lack of reward made Yu Ziyu unpredictable, so she observed him silently when he did it.

Now it seems that Lou Chen is not actually that enthusiastic about helping others. He has long expected Yu Ziyu to repay him with equal love...

To be honest, this conclusion is within the acceptable range. After all, Yu Ziyu will not think that A person will release kindness for no reason. If this is the truth, everything will be explained - Lou Chen likes him, seriously, likes "him"?

Hmm... It's not that he can't understand it. After all, in his mind, Lou Chen is a weird person, and it's normal to have such a hobby.

Yu Ziyu really just realized it. If Arrogance hadn't pointed this out today, he would never have thought about it. Even if Lou Chen kissed him in front of all the bosses and openly expressed his feelings, he would just feel that Lou Chen was too impatient and was overwhelmed by the huge amount of information.

"Are you asking me?" Arrogance laughed self-deprecatingly and said dryly, "Are you asking me? Adding insult to injury to a loser?"

"Oh, that's not what I meant." Yu Ziyu said thoughtfully and absent-mindedly, "It makes sense, keep talking."

The people present have long been desensitized to his natural ordering attitude. Even arrogance has been unable to arouse their rebellious reaction. Even arrogance has shown its helplessness. There is no way to accuse him of anything.

He licked his dry lower lip and ignored the weird feeling in his heart... How could he have the illusion that he would regret it if he said something he shouldn't have said.

Yu Ziyu suddenly took a step forward. His slender fingers slipped from Arrogant's collar, touching lightly along the way, and finally fell on his chest. Arrogant didn't know what he was going to do. He lowered his head and looked at the young man, his Adam's apple... He rolled up and down subconsciously and swallowed unconsciously.

"Shh. Relax, tell me, what did you do?"

When he met those scarlet eyes, Arrogance seemed to have forgotten where he was, and his body seemed to have lost weight. He stared into those eyes. , unconsciously said: "When you were separated, I found the opportunity to tell him your identity... your true identity."

Yu Ziyu could feel the fearful eyes cast from his back - obviously, even boss-level monsters There was no way to resist his power, which he had just displayed in front of them without any concealment.

"Oh, and what next?"

"...I misled him, making him think that putting your power into his body would weaken your connection with the game. Then," when he said this, Arrogant paused. After a pause, he seemed to be recalling, "Then, I misled you and made you think that he attacked you because of your identity."

"Why don't I remember."

"I don't know." Lazy whispered, " I thought you remembered, but you didn't, so I asked the game to re-release the mission, I just didn't expect...it is your game after all, and it will remind you on the mission, which I will never get."

"Say it again."

"What."

But he wasn't asking Arrogance.

"So, I thought Lou Chen betrayed me because I actually let him take away my blood and strength and let him successfully deceive me." Yu Ziyu said to himself, he touched his hand thoughtfully Face, "Hmm... It's incredible, what on earth was I thinking in the past..."

Suddenly, Yu Ziyu twisted his eyebrows.

He probably knows why he can't remember. He has the same way of thinking and can easily deduce things backwards.

He must have deleted this part of his memory himself... because only he has the terrifying ability to erase other people's memories. Yu Ziyu has used it on people like Zhang Yining countless times in the past, but he never thought that he would also be a victim. one.

With Yu Ziyu's strength, even if Lou Chen goes all out or even makes a sneak attack, it is impossible to get his blood, so there is only one possibility left - Yu Ziyu trusts him and he agrees to hand over part of his power. This is a Extreme shame, a memory of weakness... because he had made a mistake and was taken advantage of.

It was so stupid that it burned, my chest felt so hot, it was so humiliating.

So, he locked up all that trust and memory. Out of a mood he couldn't understand, he didn't kill Lou Chen. He just left the other party who had also erased his memory where he was, left the seventh floor, and walked away. .

In Yu Ziyu's plan, he and Lou Chen would never meet again. It was not until Arrogance took action that he was able to find Lou Chen's name in his vague memory.

The more they come into contact with each other, the more they remember, and the more obvious their feelings of anger and disgust at being betrayed become.

"What do you want?" Yu Ziyu asked.

"I just want you back." Arrogance replied without hesitation, "I want you to remember your original identity. I want everyone in the world to know that you are from our side. I don't know why you are. I don't care about us, I still want to know why Lou Chen caused these follow-ups, this is all I want. "

The banquet is just a way for Yu Ziyu to show his true self and have a chance to think about everything.

He is just... a little extreme, but his arrogance cannot control himself.

Everything was normal. If it weren't for the humans who entered by mistake, if it wasn't for the damn Lou Chen, nothing would have changed between them. Even if Yu Ziyu would leave the seventh floor from time to time and go to the remaining floors to check the situation, that would still be the case. It's better than leaving him and going to another world.

When there were other bosses around him, Arrogance didn't feel any threat, but now, even if Lou Chen is not with Yu Ziyu, he still feels that they will take him away at any time and drag him from their world to the light. For one thing, he couldn't keep calm.

This is also the decision made by their bosses together.

"Thank you for your answer."

As the cold voice fell, Arrogance finally woke up completely.

He opened his eyes wide, took a step back, and looked at Yu Ziyu in disbelief. "I never thought of saying it so clearly." He murmured, choked, and his lips trembled, "But, you used this trick on me?"

I can't believe that he can still subconsciously think that he is He is special in Yu Ziyu's eyes, and Lazy once again sympathizes with him - but given that his identity is arrogance, it is reasonable that he would make such self-esteem mistakes again and again, but this is of no benefit after all, because it Gradually eroding his self-confidence.

He was shaken.

Just like now, Arrogance closed his eyes and waited for Yu Ziyu to kill him - he had given up struggling. Since Yu Ziyu got all the truth from him and showed no signs of being moved by him, he didn't miss the past at all. , so all that is waiting for him is punishment.

"Sometimes, I suspect that I have seven cats."

"What?" Lazy thought he heard wrongly.

Yu Ziyu glanced at him indifferently, without repeating what he just said: "So, let me summarize, you are my prisoners, I am the warden, and you are rebelling because of my personal vacation, so when I forget You left Hell Paradise when you locked the door and wanted to find me back."

"..."

"But you should go back, Master."

Lazy looked at the source of the sound.

Greed, who had been silent and pretending that he did not exist, suddenly said abruptly: "Because we have the ability to leave there because you left an open passage, but we are not the only ones looking for it. Soon, more monsters will pass through it. , they will cause great harm to the real world trouble."
