Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 249 You Are Not the Only One Who Can Play

"By the way, was it you who tampered with this pipeline, or was it a trap set by those two demons?" Lin You did not forget to inquire for information during the negotiation.

"This has nothing to do with me. It's a little trick of Dante's Forest and Simongli." O'Dimm replied casually, "A visual mirror camouflage, plus a little maze that deceives the senses. No matter which fork you take, you will be scattered and end up back at the entrance."

"In other words, no matter whether I go forward or turn back, I will be able to see Constantine and the others immediately?" Lin You's tone was filled with eagerness to try.

"That won't do." O'Dimm glanced back inadvertently. There was a large shadow covering the way back. "I guess Grindelwald is communicating with Constantine at this time. He doesn't want to be disturbed by you."

"Not only the 'Saint', Grindelwald will also show up in person? So, what is his plan?" Lin You asked; although his tone was indifferent, it was equivalent to an ultimatum. Earl Goff would not let the devil delay time; if he didn't give an answer, he would have to fight.

"Don't be anxious, writer..." O'Dimm was still thinking of making excuses, but Lin You didn't want to listen anymore and commanded the long snake guardian to charge head-on.

"Alright, alright, that's what I said." O'Dimm avoided the Guardian Angel without even looking at him, and quickly spoke to stop the opponent's next attack.

Although he has a good chance of winning the fight, Master Mirror still does not want to have a complete falling out with the writer unless it is necessary.

"The contract between Grindelwald and I was not complicated. He just concealed the last clause of the contract; that is, he must personally master the Spear of Longinus and complete the ritual of summoning the devil. So, I promised to help him obtain enough knowledge about summoning demons from Constantine." O'Dimm said with emotion, "This man's desire for control is indeed a bit too strong."

Lin You was puzzled: "How could he leave Nurmengard?"

"What's so difficult about this? The so-called oaths and contracts in the magic world are nothing more than shackles on the soul. Who in the world knows how to regulate human souls better than the devil?"

"You helped him to free himself from the bondage of his vows?"

"It's temporary." O'Dimm gave a smug smile, "It's easy."

"You were very good to Grindelwald. You did so much to get his soul. Why do I feel like you lost out on this contract?"

O'Dimm shook his head repeatedly. "You have to have a long-term vision when doing business. If I can get the opportunity to sign a contract with Constantine, it won't be a loss. Besides, the soul of a Dark Lord, although not as interesting as Constantine's, is not without value."

Lin You laughed and said no more, and he relaxed visibly. "Besides Grindelwald, what other troubles have you caused Constantine?"

"No more." O'Dimm said solemnly, "Indeed, no more; mainly because there was not enough time. Before I found out it was the 'unknown', I only signed a contract with Grindelwald; when I realized it was the 'unknown', I was no longer allowed to intervene further."

"Oh..." Lin You responded without comment, and there was no other sound; the bubbles wrapped around his body slapped the dirty water, making a crisp "beep" sound.

This unusually calm look immediately made Master Mirror suspicious; "Why do you seem indifferent to Constantine?" "Do I need to care?" Lin You asked with a smile, "As the writer, I just need to make sure that 'Unknown' can continue to develop in an unknown direction. What difference does it make to me who wins or loses?"

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but the devil's strong suspicion was not easy to cure, and he felt that the other party's behavior was even more abnormal.

"You are deceiving me, Writer." In contrast to Count Goff's expression, Master Mirror was extremely serious at this moment;
"I know you very well. A writer is still a human being after all. As long as one is human, he or she will have feelings and tendencies. There is no such thing as absolute neutrality. Just like in the world of Demon Hunter, in order to disrupt the fate of the world, you chose to destroy the reputation and plans of the emperor of the empire. Not only because it was the most convenient and effective way to do so, but also because you didn't like the emperor."

Lin You looked at Odimu through the bubble and asked with a half-smile, "So?"

"So, the reason you act indifferent is because you can ensure Constantine's safety. But what will you do? According to our verbal 'contract', if you intervene in the fight between Constantine and Grindelwald, I will have reason to stop you."

"Could it be that I hate Constantine and therefore don't care whether he lives or dies?" Lin You asked back.

"It is undeniable that Constantine does have many disgusting qualities, but the archaeologist Helena does not have them." The Mirror Master stared at the boy in the bubble without blinking; "Dark wizards don't care about killing people. Can you sit by and watch someone you know get into danger?"

Lin You spread his hands and said frankly: "I am here and I am not going anywhere. Do you think I care?"

"What on earth did you do?" As a demon who likes to manipulate people's hearts and destiny, O'Dimm really doesn't like being fooled by others.

As the atmosphere became increasingly tense and it seemed that the brief peace was about to be broken, the sewer suddenly shook violently; the violent shaking made people mistakenly think that an earthquake was hitting, and all kinds of explosions and collisions came from the direction of the fork entrance, deafening and continuous.

The sewage under his feet also rolled up and down, pushing the bubbles up and down.

"Did you do this?" O'Dimm asked again, his tone carrying 30% confusion, 30% anger, and 30% annoyance that things were out of control.

"Of course not. I have been talking to you here the whole time. You can see clearly that I did nothing." Count Goff pretended to be innocent. "This kind of vibration should be caused by two great wizards dueling. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big noise."

"Dumbledore?" Since Master Mirror had come to find Grindelwald, he had naturally conducted a detailed investigation into the Dark Lord's background; when he heard the word "Archwizard", he immediately thought of the only person in the world who was given the title of "Archwizard".

Lin You said as if it was a matter of course: "Of course it's him! Since Grindelwald is here, how can Dumbledore not come? How can such a touching couple be separated?"

"when will you?"

"What do you mean 'when'? It took me forty hours to drive all the way from Mexico. With such a long time, I could have sent a message to Dumbledore at any time." Now it was Lin You's turn to laugh happily. "Mr. O'Dimm, although you are very good at playing with contracts and rules, you have to understand that you are not the only one who can play with them."
