Falsifying history is good business

Although the rewriting of the Norse pantheon was a grand event, it was not difficult. The main reason was that the content of the rewriting had been decided by the gods long ago, and Lin You only had to copy the original text; the only thing that made him spend a little more time was the request added by Odin at the end.

This time, the so-called writer was really just a writer. If it weren't for the "grand" atmosphere on the scene, he had to slow down his writing speed to appear solemn. Lin You felt that he could finish copying in less than five minutes.

But no matter how slow the speed is, it does not prevent the writer from returning to the human world after a quarter of an hour; wandering on the Santa Monica beach, quietly waiting for the response from the little phoenix.

Just as DC's God has merged with the God of the Bible, DC's hell has also merged with the hell of the Bible. In this way, whether it is DC's devil or the devil of the Bible, the speed of time in hell must be compared to the Garden of Eden, which is different from the big world.

Therefore, although Phoenix's mission was simple - it was nothing more than finding Lucifer to pass a message, Lin You could not be sure of the exact time when he would return to the human world; he might come back in a day or two, or it might be ten days, half a month, or even longer.

With nothing else to do and having to hide from the old butler in the manor who was almost going crazy waiting for the "little master", Lin You decided to stay in the United States while he waited.

Anyway, Diana must have been scared and didn't dare to go back to the manor recently. Wouldn't she be alone if she went back? Let the old housekeeper take the little girl to go crazy in the manor!
As time went by, the afternoon heat faded away on the beach in the evening; the sand underfoot lost heat faster than the sea water, and more and more people began to run barefoot on the beach.

In the distant western sky, the red sun slowly set towards the sea; the sunlight exerted the last bit of power of the day, dyeing the rippling waves red and dazzling people's sight, so that no one noticed that a tiny and bright fire suddenly flashed in the center of the sun.

Except Lin You.

The dimensional gate opened silently where the sea and sky met, taking the fire inside and disappearing from everyone's sight; a moment later, Count Goff's figure also disappeared from the beach.

In the dimensional space, a phoenix with its hair standing on end and in a state of disgrace was lying on the ground with its wings limp. It was sticking out its tongue and breathing heavily, swearing: "Tyrant, bastard, idiot, I almost got killed by you."

"What's wrong? You look like someone plucked all the hair off your body, washed it in water a dozen times, and then put it back on without waiting to dry." Lin You stretched out his hand and picked up the little phoenix, and also shook it upside down like Minerva.

"Stop, stop, stop, put me down, you son of a bitch!" The Phoenix is ​​noble, but that doesn't stop them from learning vulgar manners, especially for a phoenix that has been in hell since childhood.

"You're full of energy when you're cursing." Lin You threw it aside; Phoenix was afraid of being picked up by someone again, so he didn't dare to continue lying there, and he had to stand up even if he was wobbly.

Lin You found it interesting and asked, "I just asked you to deliver a letter, but why are you in this state? It seems like you can't even change into human form?"

"I'm tired. Is that not okay? I almost lost my life. I flew all the way from the bottom of hell to the human world. My wings were almost broken. How can I still have the strength to change into a human form?" The little phoenix said indignantly.

Lin You nodded: "I understand." As one of the seventy-two demon gods, the phoenix is ​​the real body of Phoenix, and its usual human form is an illusion. It is normal that it cannot maintain the human form when its power is greatly damaged.

"I told you I couldn't go back, but you forced me to go back. As a result, I ran into Dantalin and Simonli head-on as soon as I came out of Lucifer's palace." The little phoenix kept chattering, and when he got excited and angry, he jumped with his claws and stomped on Count Goff's feet.

Lin You probably understood why this guy looked so distressed, so he asked, "Then what? Did you see Lucifer?"

"You're only asking about Lucifer, right? I was chased by two demons and had to cross the entire hell to escape. I was almost caught up and killed." The little phoenix stomped even harder, and even felt that just stomping wasn't enough to vent its anger. Its two wings flapped and hit Lin You's calves.

"You are back alive, aren't you? I will help you avenge Danlin and Ximengli in the future. What is the relationship between me and Lucifer? It's just a matter of a word to help you avenge." Lin You was talking nonsense to comfort the little phoenix. "Now tell me about Lucifer first. Why did He stay in hell and not come back?"

"How should I know?" Phoenix yelled.

Lin You's expression changed slightly: "You didn't see Him? He's not in the palace?"

"I don't know whether he is in the palace, but I certainly didn't see him."

"What happened? Tell me in detail."

The little phoenix said unhappily, "What's so detailed about that? The demons guarding the palace said that Lucifer lost to the Sandman not long ago. After the Sandman left with the spoils, Lucifer closed the palace gates and refused to see anyone. The demons all spread the rumor that Lucifer was too embarrassed to see anyone because he lost."

"Is this rumor credible?"

"How should I know?" Phoenix twisted his wings and put them on his hips. "I haven't even seen Lucifer, and I was chased by two demons all the way, so I didn't have time to ask. But..." "But what?" Lin You asked.

"But no one can open or close Lucifer's palace except Lucifer himself."

"So you're inclined to believe that Lucifer is indeed in Hell?"

Little Phoenix turned his head away from Lin You and snorted coldly, "I don't know, and I can't say for sure. Don't even think about letting me go back! Dan Lin and Xi Mengli are definitely waiting to block me!"

"It doesn't matter, actually. You have the dimensional space coordinates I left on you, so it's much easier for you to enter and exit hell than other devils. Those two demons can't catch you."

Phoenix shuddered and immediately saw through the dangerous trap hidden in Lin You's words. He jumped up and shouted, "Don't even think about it. I won't go back no matter what you say. Lucifer is the master of hell. He can come to this world if he wants. If he doesn't want to come, forget it. Why are you looking for him? I won't go if I say so."

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go." Seeing that the little phoenix was adamant, Lin You was helpless; when it comes to finding someone, you have to let them have some subjective initiative. If they really don't want to do it, even if you throw them back to hell, there's no guarantee that they'll just go and sleep in some corner of hell.

"I just find it strange. Losing to the Sandman was just a routine performance. How could Lucifer be so angry?" Lin You was puzzled. "If he was pretending, wouldn't it be more reasonable for him to pretend to be angry and leave Hell again? He had planned to come to the United States in the first place."

"If you want to know, go ask Him yourself; isn't your dimensional door quite convenient?" the little phoenix encouraged.

Lin You rolled his eyes and said, "If it's convenient for me, I'll go. Why would I need to look for you?"

"It's inconvenient for you, and it's even more inconvenient for me." Little Phoenix was on guard in every way.

"Okay, okay, okay. I won't force you even if it's inconvenient. Go and have fun!" Lin You reached out and picked up Phoenix's claw, opened the dimensional space amid its protest, and threw it out directly.

The dimensional space became quiet, but Lin You's thoughts became more and more confused: "Why do I keep encountering incomprehensible strange things today? First it was Odin, and now it's Lucifer; three times the limit, I wonder if there will be a third one."

While pondering, the writer suddenly felt an earth-shaking movement, as if a huge force was violently hitting the dimensional space from the outside.

Lin You was alert at first, but then he found that there was no movement after the collision outside, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled. The sensory feedback from the outside told him that the collision just now did not seem to be someone deliberately attacking the dimensional space.

"It's another force of time and space. It's like someone is traveling through time and space... In that case, it's a 'car crash'?"

As more and more feedback came back, Lin You found that the space-time power on the other side had a familiar "flavor". He tried to open the dimensional space, and the next moment, a tall, agile figure fell in from the entrance.

"What the hell is this place?" The "visitor" was very surprised by the empty space without even a trace of light. As she got up, she drew out the sword on her back, guarding against possible dangers in the darkness.

Yes, it was "she" who fell in, not "he".

Although she couldn't see Lin You, Lin You could see her clearly.

This is a girl with mouse-gray hair, wearing a loose pleated shirt popular during the Renaissance. Perhaps because of wearing it for a long time, the original white texture of the shirt has begun to turn yellow. At the same time, in order to facilitate sword wielding, she tied belts around her arms and waist. She wore a hunting skirt and trousers on her lower body, and a pair of animal leather boots that were only about half new. The old boots were worn out and the leather texture could no longer be distinguished.

The most noticeable thing was the long scar on her face, which was left by a sharp weapon, from under her left eye, across her left cheekbone, and all the way to her left jaw. It was this scar that allowed Lin You to confirm her identity.

“Ciri?” As the writer’s voice sounded, light descended upon the dimension again.

The girl's expression became more alert when she heard the voice, but as Lin You appeared, her gaze changed rapidly during the observation process, from vigilance to confusion, and from confusion to surprise.

"It's you, Bryce." Ciri was overjoyed, "I finally found you; follow me, something has happened in our world!" (End of this chapter)
