After the Lord of the Abyss awakens

"How do they look like Meow?"

The silver cat couldn't help but grab Hughes's sleeve, his eyes full of urgency.

Hughes pinched his paw, looked into his eyes, and said: Temperament, right? I always feel that some of the looks are similar. ◣”

The three cats were all shocked. If they dare to look for love for a long time, they might as well ask their biological father honestly. But my father rarely mentioned this person before.

Hughes noticed their doubts and nodded: "If you think about it carefully, I don't think I have told you."

But if we want to talk about this, we have to talk about it when he started playing the game.

He was a closed beta player at the time, and he played at night when he had time. Then one night, he felt very sleepy, but he thought that tomorrow was Monday and he had to work, and he didn't want to go to sleep, so he played after twelve o'clock. .

It was almost midnight, but he still didn't want to sleep, so he made himself a cup of tea, took a few sips, and continued playing.

At about one o'clock, he felt sleepy, his mind was foggy, his eyelids were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he could not lift them up at all.

Then, he fell asleep in front of the computer desk.

I slept very lightly, and my consciousness was like a sea creature stranded on the beach. I was half asleep, half awake, and in a daze. One moment I felt like I was in the deep sea, and the other I felt suspended in space. Various images intertwined and flashed across one A bizarre and mottled picture.

If I had to say it, it was almost like motion sickness, but the dizziness was mainly in the brain, deep in the consciousness. As for the stomach... I could barely feel it, so of course I wouldn't feel dizzy.

I don't know how long it took, it seemed like just a few minutes, or maybe a few months, his consciousness suddenly lit up like a fire, and he could gradually see things, blurry indoor scenes, and the sound of a group of people discussing could be heard in his ears.

He swayed for a moment and tried to steady himself. When he took a closer look, he found that his surroundings had changed drastically and he had arrived at something that looked like a religious building.

The majestic and solemn hall, the magnificent and colorful flower windows, and countless people in white robes under the stage.

The scene was majestic and full of people.

His appearance seemed to surprise them, and almost everyone was excited.

He just looked at them intently, and they couldn't help but cheer and shout in a language he didn't understand at the time. The volume was deafening, resounding throughout the whole place, as if it could shock the soul.

To be honest, he was frightened by them at the time and had never been so confused before.

Later, he learned that they were shouting words such as brave, savior, hope of mankind, etc. He was the first brave man to summon the awakening, so they were excited and shocked, as if they saw the hope of the rise of mankind.

At that time, it was the eighteenth generation of human sages who stopped them.

He was attracted by the calm voice and turned to look at the other party. Then, what came into view was an old man in white robes, about sixty years old, with blond hair and blue eyes, a wrinkled face, and solemn eyes, revealing the majesty that suppressed the entire audience.

Later he learned that the man's name was Freeman Slindev, and he was a very important figure in the human kingdom.

Thinking of this, Hughes looked back at Beelzebub's eyes and explained to the children.

"There were actually two human sages at that time. One was the 18th generation sage Freeman. He proposed to cooperate with the gods to activate the hero summoning magic. But it was the 19th generation sage who actually launched the hero summoning magic. Or, in other words, I would say he is more like Priest Xilin.

That person. "

The silver cat was shocked and asked: "Who is he?"

Hughes said bluntly: "Arnold Paz."

The three cats immediately pricked up their ears. At the same time, the orange cat broadcast the conversation to the three demons Amon, Butis, and Impos in real time.

Beelzebub was extremely shocked. He had been searching for the 18th Sage Fried, but unexpectedly, the key figure turned out to be the 19th Sage.

Hughes said slowly: "Arnold was only sixteen years old at the time, and he was just an adult in the other world. However, at such a young age, he possessed extremely powerful magic power. It is said that he was born with it. Judging from the magnitude alone, , His magic power is at the level of a god."

Silver Cat thought back and realized that he knew almost nothing about this man's history because it had basically been erased.

What does it mean to be dark under the lamp? This is it! It might be too deep to hide it.

"Speaking of which, he was probably the strongest human being at that time. He was the only one who could activate the extremely complex hero summoning magic."

Hughes continued to think back, "Although he was only sixteen years old."

The orange cat couldn't help but ask: "Father knows his cat? How do you know him? What is his relationship with his father?"

He asked many questions at once.

Hughes answered one by one, "I know him. I have met him several times. He is a relatively familiar alien. Didn't we just come to the alien world at that time? We are not familiar with many things. He was the one who received him from the beginning. He He introduced us to various situations in the other world like a tour guide. He was very friendly and thoughtful. Even Uncle Mingjie, who has a picky personality, couldn't fault us. "

Hughes thought of Arnold's image. He slowly closed his hand on the table, made a circle, and then grabbed it, forming a simple human image.

The three cats present widened their eyes at the same time. The three demons in the Os Empire Library also watched nervously.

I saw the humanoid white robe in Hughes's hand, with a slender body, long light blond hair, braided at the back, waist-length, exquisite facial features, and a beautiful face. The most special thing is the mole at the corner of the right eye. Because he is only sixteen years old, his appearance is a little green, and at first glance, he seems to have a sense of indistinguishable gender. His temperament is gentle, even a little weak, and he has an inexplicable feminine and fragile look.

But he does look like he is only sixteen years old, with a clear sense of stupidity in his eyes.

If you said that this guy was the mastermind behind the big trouble for them, they would really be unbelievable.

This guy looked like he could be knocked down with one punch even if Seliog, the weakest among them, took action.

After seeing the human form, their thoughts were all - that's it?

You bastard, this demon will eat you alive!

The silver cat gritted his teeth in anger and looked at Hughes, waiting for what Hughes would say next.

Hughes looked at the human figure, his memory slowly revived, and said: "My relationship with him...is that of an elder brother and a younger brother? He was also in the brave group at that time, and he called me Brother Xiu."

brazen! The silver cat stamped his feet angrily, wanting to call his father Brother Xiu, is that guy worthy? If you have the ability to come here, I will kill you!

Hughes was immersed in his memories and did not notice the anger of the silver cat. He continued: "We had just arrived in the other world and didn't understand many things. The 18th generation sage Freeman sent him to follow us, not only to protect us, but also by the way. Let him practice."

"Well, he wasn't the nineteenth at that time.

Sage, that happened later, if I remember correctly. "

The silver cat sharpened its claws, trying not to look too obviously angry, and continued to ask: "Is there anything special about him? Or something that impressed my father very much, meow?"

Hughes continued to reflect, "Arnold is powerful but humble, and his character... to be honest, he is a bit submissive. He obviously has such powerful magic power and does not need to be afraid of any human beings, but he is very polite to everyone, especially when facing Freeman. Great Sage."

The more my father talked, the more shocked he became. Submissive? The pervert behind the scenes?

Is this the kind of guy who later became the mastermind behind the scenes? Or does it just happen to be "more similar to Priest Xilin"?

The three cats looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.

The orange cat continued to ask: "Did he say anything strange to his father, meow?"

"Weird words?"

Hughes was silent for a while, thinking about what could be called "strange", and then slowly said: "It's nothing special. It's just that he seems to be under a lot of pressure, often unable to sleep at night, and plagued by nightmares, and sometimes he will tell me His worries, such as not wanting to return to the human country, not wanting to return to the Sage Tower, Teacher Freeman is very strict... something like that."

It sounds like a standard troubled scenario for a sixteen-year-old genius.

The three cats couldn't hear anything special.

Hughes put down the human figure in his hand, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he said: "Later, he returned to the Sage Tower. I don't know what happened after that, because I fell into the abyss."

Something must have happened at this time!

Silver Cat asked: "Did he say anything when we last met?"

Hughes was silent and his eyes were lowered. "At that time, he remained silent, as if he was in pain, and wanted to say something to me, but Freeman came and took him away. The last time I saw him was when he was killed by Freeman. Take the lead and leave that scene.”

Hughes was deeply impressed by this and continued: "He looked back at me with a very complicated expression. I didn't know what it meant at the time, and now... I don't know what it means either."

"Maybe he is asking me for help, but I can't do anything. If I were Wang Chang'er, I might still have some say, but I'm not. I can't stop him from returning to the Sage Tower, and I can't stop him from becoming the next one. A generation of wise men.”

Sanmao looked shocked and almost couldn't react.

That guy won't place his hopes on his father, right? But what does it have to do with father? My father was just unfortunately summoned to this world, and the person who summoned him was Arnold. How could he have the nerve to have thoughts about his father? It was extremely merciful of his father not to beat him for three days and three nights!

Next, no matter how many memories Hughes rummaged through, he couldn't think of anything more.

However, some fragmentary memories still remain, although they cannot be guaranteed to be true. After all, the brain likes to be modified.

Hughes: "On a daily basis, the way I get along with him is to share some things about Blue Star. He seems to be very curious about Blue Star and always asks me a lot. At that time, the other six uncles and aunts like you hated everything related to sages. Ignore him, only I will tell him, he hates Lan He is quite interested in Xing’s animations and games. I also shared animations like “K” with him. Well... he seemed very surprised at the time. He stayed there for a long time and didn’t know what he was thinking. Sometimes he would suddenly I don’t think it’s strange that he calmed down and became a different person.”

Sanmao's eyes widened, feeling that the information his father revealed was completely the truth! It took no effort at all. Arnold was extremely suspicious. This guy must be the mastermind behind the scenes!

And Hughes suddenly fell silent for a moment, looking at the bookshelf of history books, "Speaking of which, there is almost no record of his history. The human sages of that kingdom ended in the twentieth generation, and the eighteenth generation sage Freeman died. During the war between the gods, the nineteenth generation is unknown, and the twentieth generation died due to internal fighting among humans. Later, the kingdom was destroyed, and humans became scattered. It took a long time for them to reunite and establish a country. "

Most of the brave summoning magic recorded in history books was initiated by Sage Freeman in conjunction with the gods.

In fact, Freeman himself did not have that powerful magic power. It was Arnold who really activated the magic.

Planners and executors are different people.

Later, when they learned that the magic could not be restarted to send them back, Arnold apologized to them for a long time, saying that it was his fault and that he would definitely find the coordinates again.

However, more than 8,000 years have passed since then, and the past has been buried in the dust and faded. Of course, Arnold's promise was buried long ago. You can't let a dead man come out to fulfill the promise.

Hughes couldn't help feeling a little emotional. He looked at the three cats and finally asked the key: "Why are you asking these questions?"

The silver cat was stunned for a moment: "Okay, curious meow!"

The orange cat was very frank: "I'm curious about my father's past, meow!"

"Yeah."

Hughes seemed to have thought of something, but did not say it. Then he asked them, "Is there anything else you want to know? While dad still has time, ask more?"

It's nine o'clock in the morning and there's still a long time left in the day.

So they asked a bunch of questions in front and back. Then they chatted and chatted, and a few hours passed. It was not until they found that their father was a little tired from talking that they could no longer stop. Leaving Selie to guard his father, they anxiously held a roundtable meeting in the library with the participation of the five demons.

Regarding the sudden large amount of information about the suspected mastermind, the five demons digested it in their hearts and had different ideas.

A few seconds later, Amon revealed the biggest doubt, "If that 'Arnold' is the mastermind behind the scenes, then he is not just 'Arnold'."

Beelzebub nodded: "I also think that I have a hypothesis. The 'Arnold' that my father knew was just an ordinary human being at the time, but while alive, [memory] awakened, and [power] awakened, causing him to become Him, His nature He relapsed, his ambition was revealed, and he was the first to target his father.”

"I think so," Botis agreed with Beelzebub. "He is probably an earlier consciousness, and 'Arnold' is just one of his many lives, or a container."

Bryce recorded their words in his hand, like a meeting clerk, raising his eyes and saying: "Well, it seems that there has been a lot of progress, but we still don't know what kind of existence He is."

The air was silent again. There seems to be a lot more information, but the progress is still so slow.

It's really annoying.

Suddenly, Impos frowned and said with anger: "Arnold is a human being. His father is so friendly to him, but he attacks his father first. It's really hateful!"

"What shame does he have to call his father brother? What did his father do to deserve to be hurt by him one after another?"

The honest demon Persia couldn't suppress his anger.

The fist hit the round table.

If this round table had not been refined by Celios and protected by magic power, it would have definitely collapsed.

The four demons looked at Impos at the same time, showing no intention of stopping him.

The point about Persia's anger makes sense.

To put it bluntly, what did my father do that got Him on his radar? His father was so friendly to him, just like taking care of his younger brother. He had never done anything to disgrace him. It was really because he was sick that he would not let go of his father.

Or is it that He awakened [consciousness], cut off love and love, and completely changed? The reason why you focus on your father is because you think he is the most likely person to discover something unusual about him?

Humph, no matter what the reason is, it’s damn good. He must be captured and cut into pieces.

And Beelzebub touched his chin and thought of the key, "What about the ancestor god of mankind? What is He in it? What role is He?"

Amon glanced at Beelzebub and said, "According to my father, when mankind's ancestor god fought against foreign enemies, he was often away from human countries. He basically didn't meet his father, had almost no contact, and had little relationship with other brave men."

Beelzebub asked to the end: "Then what is the relationship between human sages and human ancestor gods?"

Bris knew this and explained: "At that time, human sages were the titles of the wiser humans. They were selected by human kings, and the ancestor gods of mankind issued honors and granted protection. Every generation of human sages are The important force that protects human civilization is closely related to the ancestor god of mankind and is his right-hand man.”

Beelzebub's brows almost furrowed into the character "Chuan".

They thought about it again. It sounds like the core of this information lies in one thing.

——[Human]

In other words, the human species.

In this sense, the suspicion value of the ancestor god of mankind is completely full. He was an accessory if not the principal offender, and he definitely did something.

But it could just be a coincidence.

The mastermind behind the scenes can freely manipulate the divine body and transfer consciousness freely. It can be seen that he may have been born as a god and alternated between two gods.

"In addition to humans and gods, He can also be nightmares, beasts, and elves. He just happened to be born as a human at that time."

Just like the reincarnation of hundreds of lives, we become different living things or even non-living things at different times.

He can be anything, free and unrestricted.

Bryce raised a very troubling possibility. This is also the most difficult point for them to catch Him.

Unless He throws himself into the trap and jumps out, it will be difficult to catch Him.

But He is very thoughtful and cannot go into battle in person, so he just leaves it to do things remotely. What can you do to Him?

At this time, Brice said keenly: "In this case, the thoughts Beelzebub found in the temple are even more worth talking about."

Beelzebub paused, then turned to look at Brice, "Did you mean 'despair'?"

Brice nodded: "Barbatos talked about ten emotions, nostalgia, hatred, friendship, love, ambition, greed, anxiety, depression, blame, and despair. The strongest among them are grievance, hatred, and despair."

Amon became angry when he heard this, "Who is He? What qualifications does He have to bury injustice and hate?"

In Persia thought it was not right, and said in a subtle tone: "Who are these emotions for?"

Hearing this,

Butis suddenly slammed the table, his magic power almost exploded, his face darkened, and his snake pupils stood up.

"He dared to be good to his father? I will cut him into pieces!"

Amon was puzzled, "It may not be good for people, maybe it is for the world, for himself."

But as a wandering poet, Bruce is more sensitive to emotions, "Friendship cannot be for the world, or for himself."

Beelzebub said coldly: "God knows, if He is a reincarnated consciousness, He must not know how many times He has lived. Who knows how many friends or even lovers He has had, but what does it matter? After the awakening of [consciousness], He is still Him, still has to make plans, and still has to try to become the god of gods."

Bruce was slightly stunned, thinking that what Beelzebub said made sense, but he always felt that there was still something wrong.

Especially about His "despair".

Thinking carefully, the acquisition of these emotional intelligence also has the suspicion of being deliberately released by the other party.

Anyway...

Amon stood up and concluded: "The intelligence has been updated, but the most critical directional intelligence is still lacking."

He glanced at the four demons and said, "The ancestor god of mankind is in the body of the god of chaos. If we can find him, we can probably solve the mystery."

Butis said to Amon: "Unlike the goddess of harmony, the ancestor god of mankind has been dead for too long, and he may have been digested."

Amon: "It doesn't matter. Humans can survive the chaos of the gods because of the unyielding means of the ancestor god of mankind. Maybe he is not dead yet and is still struggling in the body of chaos. What we have to do is very simple, that is, to capture the god of chaos and investigate it thoroughly."

He really said it, but "capture the god of chaos", are they the five demons?

Inposs couldn't help but say: "Do you want to call back Eliog and the others? Now that the third brother is fine, Guxin can be found later."

Modor is powerful. Guxin went to Eliog, Valif, Buyer, Morags, Bachin and a little black bird.

If they come back together, they will have enough power to deal with the God of Chaos.

But Amon's previous fishing layout will be abandoned.

Amon fell into thinking. The fish has not taken the bait for so long, which means that the fish already knows everything. There is no point in fishing anymore.

But after they all come back, repel the God of Chaos, and sort out everything, will the mastermind behind the scenes appear as loudly as today?

Beelzebub said: "With Baqin here, they can come back at any time, so there is no need to rush. I want to know what he is going to do and how to do it. If we drive away Chaos in advance, we may not have the opportunity to see him expose his flaws."

Inbosi was stunned. Because he was not as bold as his compatriots, he thought to himself, should he really continue to wait and see? See how he plays his cards?

"What should we do with the ancestor god of mankind?"

Butis: "It is important to find the ancestor god of mankind, but it is probably not safe to rashly go to the body of chaos to find something at this stage."

Bruce nodded, "Yes, and Barbatos has not completely digested the memory of the goddess of harmony, so it is not easy for us to act."

Beelzebub also stood up, his green eyes dark, "Let's wait and see for the time being, right?"

"For the time being."

Amon smiled slightly, "I think He is very defensive, maybe

He will take the next step soon."

At this point, they had almost the same idea.

At this time, Butis raised his cheeks and looked at Beelzebub sideways, his vertical pupils glowing with lake green, "Speaking of which, Beelzebub saw the second brother, right?"

"Yes."

Beelzebub answered without thinking much.

Butis said "Oh", crossed his fingers, and asked curiously: "What is the state of the second brother?"

"What state?"

Beelzebub paused, and the picture of the silent guard emerged in his mind. He always felt that it was difficult to describe. "It was His projection that came out. It is likely to be conscious. I don't know why, but it has a strong hypnotic effect as soon as it appears."

Inbos felt the same way, "It's strange, why did the second brother hypnotize us for no reason?"

Amon interrupted, "Are you mistaken? The second brother should hypnotize the father, and you just happened to be there."

Bruce screamed even more, with a puzzled look on his face, "Why did the second brother hypnotize the father?"

Inbos was stunned and guessed, "Want to let my father sleep well?"

Amon was about to speak, but suddenly stopped, his eyes crossed with Beelzebub, and he thought of the same question as Beelzebub.

They hadn't thought about this matter before, but no matter how they thought about it, this matter was not normal.

That's right.

-Why can the second brother only appear after the father falls asleep?

What kind of cosmic magic must have such restrictions?

Even the second brother strangely interfered with his father's cognition and created a relatively comfortable cognitive environment.

Under normal circumstances, the second brother would definitely not do this.

Beelzebub thought of the unfathomable look in his second brother's eyes last night, and always felt that it was a little different from usual, but he couldn't tell exactly where it was different.

He didn't like this unknown feeling, and it made him feel uneasy for no reason.

Amon saw Beelzebub's thoughtful face and seemed to have thought of something.

That possibility also made him uneasy.

At this time, Brice patted the table and said: "Put aside the second brother's matter for now. Have you forgotten about the re-editing of history? Now that you have started to wait and see what happens, how about re-editing history when you have time?"

As soon as He finished speaking, the other four demons trembled.

Of course, rewriting history is a top priority!

-

Half an hour later.

Beelzebub ran to the ward of the three brave men.

"You mean Arnold?"

After hearing Beelzebub's suspicion, the three brave men looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.

Beelzebub nodded: "Father's feeling is very accurate. Father said that Priest Xilin is somewhat similar to the 19th generation human sage Arnold. That should not be wrong."

Judgment based on even just feelings?

Luo Jie and Ming Jie looked at Justin at the same time.

Back then, they remembered that Justin and Arnold had a better relationship, and that was indeed the case.

Justin looked shocked and confessed: "I didn't doubt him at all. When we met him, he was only sixteen years old. Before Brother Xiu disappeared, he was only seventeen years old. I couldn't see any problems."

Beelzebub: “For a creature that changes consciousness from generation to generation, age is the most meaningless concept.

read. "

Justin choked and recalled honestly: "I only remember that he had a good relationship with Brother Xiu and saved us many times in times of crisis. Brother Xiu died not long after he disappeared. He was almost an adult at the age of eighteen and died in an assassination. Everyone was shocked at that time. They didn't expect that the strongest magician in the kingdom would die like this. Although the assassin was the strongest thief elite of the Goblin tribe, even the gods had died under his assassination, so Arnold died because of him. It was not a ridiculous incident, but it still shocked the time. "

Mingjie said: "I also agree with my nephew's suspicion. The real Arnold is dead. What is alive is a ghost of consciousness that is constantly changing and hiding. To track the ghost, you can either create conditions for it to appear by itself, or find its source and know What is He?"

Knowing your enemy and knowing yourself will always lead to victory in any battle. This principle also makes perfect sense in other worlds.

Justin nodded slowly, with a bit of disbelief in his tone, "I really didn't expect it to be him. I really know people but not their hearts."

This guy caused Brother Xiu to disappear, and later caused them to disappear. This guy has been planning for thousands of years, secretly manipulating human history. Such an evil spirit, no matter what container it is in, cannot change his mortal judgment.

Mingjie said coldly: "Arnold is the one who summoned us. If you think about it carefully, he is indeed the most likely person to tamper with magic."

I really want to go back in time and give this thing a few punches.

It's almost enough.

Luo Jie was silent, looked at Beelzebub, and asked, "I still can't find it, right?"

Beelzebub turned his eyes, stared at Luo Jie and nodded, "That guy will definitely die if he acts rashly, so he is surprisingly cautious."

"Look slowly, there will always be flaws."

Luo Jie looked indifferent, but his eyes were full of murderous intent. Anyone with any identity who does these things will pay a price.

-

On the other hand, it was noon, outside the bookstore at this time.

"Ah, did the cat look at me just now? Aunt Wuwu is going to be happy!"

"Didn't anyone notice that big fat orange? Wow, I really want to bury my face in his belly.

The little short-footed cat secretly stuck out its head, but was frightened back by the humans outside.

Meow, humans are so scary, meow. He turned around and ran to his father's side.

Bryce laughed at this. How can demons be afraid of people? His nineteenth brother is indeed a bit timid.

When Hughes noticed the hiding little bantam cat, he couldn't help but smile. He gently stroked the cat's back and coaxed: "Don't be afraid, daddy is here."

The little short-footed cat immediately became good again, resting his head on his father's legs in a relaxed manner, his tail wagging, completely revealing his mood.

Hughes has read ten alchemy books in one go in the past few days, and has almost fully understood the essence and history of alchemy.

So he began to do various practices, sometimes magic, sometimes alchemy, sometimes creation.

He is trying to combine three things into one thing.

The current difficulties are difficult, but he has already achieved initial results.

For example, he no longer just creates a static object, he can create a scene.

For example, just let him think, a cup will appear on this table, and the cup will contain water, and the water will rotate according to his gravity rules for hundreds of years.

Things exist, and things happen, and things happen with energy. It is equivalent to creating energy out of thin air. And it’s also a perpetual motion skill.

Although it feels so-so at the moment, Hughes believes that as he continues to hone himself, this method will continue to surprise him.

Hughes was still deep in thought when suddenly a "meow~" interrupted his train of thought.

What's wrong?

He paid attention and thought the children had encountered some problem.

At first glance, the little short-footed cat seemed to be too tired, lying on its back on the big orange cat's comfortable and furry belly.

The big orange cat also fell asleep, purring softly.

The silver cat was still there in the morning, but he didn't know where to go at noon, and seemed very busy.

Hughes could put them all back in the cat's nest, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

It's good to get some sunshine, so that you can grow up well and then upgrade steadily.

He felt relieved and suddenly felt something. He went back to his room, squatted down, and looked at Vasak's condition.

You don’t know if you don’t hug it, you will know it if you hug it.

His third cub actually gained three pounds!

Xius' pupils trembled, and he almost didn't hold on. !

Hui Yutian recommends his other works to you:

I hope you like it too
