Luo Mi’s trembling figure was clearly reflected in the blood-red pupils.
Ellis picked up the black feather in his hand and looked at it, then looked at Luo Mi, then he stretched out his hand and lifted Luo Mi’s chin, and said with deep malice in his tone: “What do you want to do by staying with me?”
His eyes were as dangerous as the deep ocean, making Luo Mi suddenly feel like a ferocious beast looking over him to determine where to bite.
Luo Mi laughed dryly, and tried desperately to move his stiff legs back: “What?”
“Ellis” stood up straight, and the shadow behind him squirmed, wriggling like a group of snakes and entwining towards Luo Mi’s shadow.
When Luo Mi’s shadow came into contact with the black shadow, Luo Mi felt a chill on his back, as if he was thrown into a well in the cold winter, and the bone-chilling cold invaded his body.
Luo Mi’s own shadow crawled out from the ground, held Luo Mi in his arms intimately, and reached out to touch his cheek lovingly. However, Luo Mi felt as if a snake was crawling on his skin, and he got goose bumps.
Ellis played with the black feather and said, “If you don’t tell the truth, you will die.”
Luo Mi desperately called the system in his heart: “What’s going on? Is this Anos?”
[The system doesn’t know either… Judging from the life reactions, it is indeed the Son of God, but his state looks strange…]
“I can see that too!” Luo Mi asked, “Isn’t it obvious that he has turned evil? Has my mission been completed?”
[The task progress is still 0.]
Luo Mi couldn’t understand the system’s criteria: “Isn’t this considered evil? I’m almost being eaten by him!”
But Luo Mi, who had many years of experience in reading literary works, quickly had an idea and thought of another possibility, “Could it be a second personality or something?”
Usually hidden under the main personality, the second personality would have a chance to appear only when using the magic of angels to descend? No wonder the original book showed such a big difference around the time of the Son’s fall, in fact, it was just the awakening of the second personality!
Luo Mi didn’t have time to think about it before his desire to survive made him blurt out: “Of course it’s for you!”
Ellis’ eyebrows moved slightly: “What’s for me?”
Luo Mi threw away his old face and smiled like a sycophant: “To welcome your arrival, you don’t know how uncomfortable it is for me to stay in the Holy See shrouded in holy light, all for the sake of waiting for your awakening!”
Ellis glanced at him with a half-smile: “Awakening? You were pretending to be pious to God before?”
Luo Mi nodded vigorously.
“Why wait for me to wake up?”
Luo Mi paused, thinking about how to make up a reasonable excuse, when he heard “Ellis” chuckle: “I’m not that fool, and I won’t give you a second chance.”
Luo Mi twitched his lips, and a half-true and half-false reason came out of his rapidly working brain: “Because I want to see the Holy Son of the Holy See fall.”
This was the truth, but the existence of the system and the tasks was not explained.
Seemingly very surprised by this answer, the devil-like “Ellis” looked at Luo Mi carefully, which made Luo Mi feel a premonition of life and death crisis again. Finally, he laughed: “The other me can hear what you are saying too.”
The expression on Luo Mi’s face froze.
If Anos’s main personality heard this, wouldn’t all the goodwill he had gained during this period be gone?!
Admiring Luo Mi’s undisguised expression of collapse, the devil curled his lips and continued lightly, “I was just kidding.”
Luo Mi: “…”
He really wanted to punch the guy in front of him, but unfortunately he didn’t dare to. He could only continue to smile like a flatterer, “You are such a joker.”
The devil sneered: “How should I deal with a little liar like you?”
As he spoke, the shadow’s arms hugging Luo Mi tightened, making Luo Mi feel like he was almost suffocating.
Luo Mi quickly put on a sincere expression: “Look, I have gained the trust of Anos… uh, the other you. If you have any goals you want to achieve, you can tell me!”
He believed that the reason why this second personality of Anos did not appear much must be due to certain restrictions.
The demon raised his eyebrows slightly. He took a step closer to Luo Mi, and a half-smile, but accompanied by a malicious expression appeared on his face: “Then what can you do for me? I want you to kill the other me, can you do it?”
Hearing that the demon’s tone was somewhat relaxed, Luo Mi quietly breathed a sigh of relief and put on a servile smile again: “I definitely don’t have the ability now, don’t I have to rely on your support?”
Perhaps because he had never seen a guy like Luo Mi who took advantage of the situation, the demon paused for a moment and then sneered.
Luo Mi felt the shadow wrapped around him loosen up, allowing him to breathe more freely and feel more at ease. He asked attentively, “How long have you been out this time? Is there anything you need me to do?”
The demon glanced at him and said, “There is one thing.”
I’m not afraid of you being in trouble, I’m afraid of you being okay! Luo Mi’s eyes lit up: “What do you want?”
The demon said with a half-smile: “The next time there is a blood moon, find a way to let the other me be alone in a dark room.”
Luo Mi was stunned for a moment, but wisely did not ask in detail. He just nodded vigorously to show his loyalty: “No problem! Leave it to me! I will definitely do it!”
The demon sneered again, and it was unknown whether he believed it or not. However, Luo Mi’s shadow had returned to normal, and those black shadows that were wriggling like snakes also returned to the bottom of “Ellis”, rolling irregularly on the carpet.
Luo Mi flexed his wrists, and stepped forward to look into those blood-red eyes that frightened people at a glance: “Um… I have something to ask you.”
The demon glanced at him and said nothing.
Luo Mi took it as his acquiescence and asked, “How do we deal with this matter?”
A hint of amusement flashed across the devil’s blood-red eyes, and his tone became a little colder: “You are asking me?”
“You must be an expert in this area.” Luo Mi flattered first, then scratched his head and said, “I want to continue to stay by your side. If I can solve this problem perfectly, wouldn’t it be easier to gain the trust of the other you? It would be bad if the other you became suspicious of me.”
The shadow under the devil’s feet suddenly flew away, and then came back with the vampire hiding in the corner.
The demon smiled maliciously: “Just kill them all.”
Peidi’s pupils suddenly widened, and he wanted to beg for mercy, but then his own shadow stuffed his mouth with a fist.
Luo Mi laughed dryly and said, “Then I can’t explain it clearly… It would be best if the problem with the Archbishop could be completely solved… What I actually want to ask is, can you extract the demon blood from the Archbishop’s body?”
As an angel on earth, Anos was so strong in the holy light realm, so his other personality should not be bad in the dark realm either, right?
The devil raised his brows again and said without joy or anger: “You are very brave.”
Luo Mi’s fear had gradually disappeared, and he looked at him sincerely: “Because I’m holding onto your big thigh.”
The demon sneered and tapped his temple with a pale finger. “It is impossible to eliminate the awakened demon bloodline. However, the bloodline of this body is so thin. These idiots of the Church are asking for trouble by making such a fuss.”
Luo Mi was stunned: “Why?”
“According to the Church’s stupid theory, demons were also created by God and are the opposite of God’s glory, so they are also tied to their beliefs.” The demon’s face showed undisguised mockery, “Because of this, the more the idiots of the Church care, the stronger the effect of demon blood will be. On the contrary, ordinary people will not be affected even if they have demon blood.”
Luo Mi touched his chin and said, “So idealistic… In other words, as long as the Archbishop feels that he does not have demon blood, he will really not have it?”
“Just talking about this body, that’s it.” The devil sneered, a trace of disgust flashing in his blood-red eyes, “Using such an idiot’s body really tainted my shadow.”
The evil aura surrounding the demon began to slowly dissipate, and the black feather in his hand began to sway gently without wind.
Luo Mi realized that this dangerous Buddha was about to leave, and quickly put on just the right amount of reluctance and respect: “Have a safe journey!”
The devil sneered, and Luo Mi’s shadow suddenly jumped up and knocked on Luo Mi’s forehead, almost knocking his tears out.
Then he looked at Peidi.
The vampire viscount wished he didn’t exist and tried his best to reduce his presence. But when he was stared at by those bloodshot eyes, his whole body suddenly froze.
He was smart and reacted immediately: “I will be Lord Lian’s loyal subordinate from now on, and I will never have second thoughts!”
The devil said coldly: “Just talking?”
Peidi’s face turned bitter, but then he gritted his teeth, and his fingernails suddenly stretched out and pierced his heart.
A drop of blood gushed out and instantly solidified into a bright red gem.
After the gem appeared, Peidi’s face turned much paler, as if he had suffered a serious injury. He then handed the gem respectfully to Luo Mi: “Lord Lian, you take this, as long as you crush it, I will die with you.”
Luo Mi covered his forehead and looked at “Ellis” with some surprise.
Ellis sneered again and closed his eyes, and the dark evil aura around him completely dissipated.
Archbishop Ellis’s body fell to the ground with a thump, his head hit the foot of the bed, he let a groan, and his eyelids moved.
Luo Mi came to his senses, quickly put the gem into his pocket, stepped forward to help Archbishop Ellis up, and asked tentatively: “Archbishop, are you okay?”
Archbishop Ellis opened his eyes, revealing his deep green pupils, and looked around blankly: “Where is Balk?”
Luo Mi answered truthfully: “He was burned to death by His Royal Highness the Holy Son.”
Ellis had a strange expression on his face, a bit melancholy and a bit happy, which finally condensed into a complicated sigh: “Remember to tell His Highness to blame me for the death of Count Sheen to avoid affecting the relationship between the Empire and the Church… When selecting archbishops in the future, be sure to check their bloodline in advance…”
Seeing that Ellis seemed to be planning to explain his last wishes, Luo Mi quickly said, “Stop, what are you thinking about?”
Ellis smiled bitterly and looked calmly at the sky outside the window: “I am already a being with sinful blood, and even my faith has cracks. Only by purifying myself in the holy light can I return to God’s kingdom of heaven.”
“Don’t worry, I already know how to deal with the vampire blood in you.”
Ellis was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn’t believe it, his pupils shrank slightly: “What?”
Luo Mi pointed at Peidi who was standing nearby: “Viscount Peidi told me this because he wanted to thank us for saving his life.”
Peidi was caught off guard by the pot, and he twitched his lips and admitted, “Yes, that’s right.”
Ellis’s eyes were blank for a few seconds, then suddenly lit up: “What’s the solution?”
Luo Mi repeated Anos’s devil personality’s remarks in his own words, and finally said: “If the Archbishop is willing, you can let me use the charm spell.”
Just now when dealing with Balk, Ellis had already let Luo Mi cast a charm spell on him. Now he was silent for a moment, then closed his eyes and said self-deprecatingly: “To be willing to accept the devil’s magic is essentially disrespectful to God.”
Luo Mi thought he disagreed and was about to persuade him again when he saw Ellis open his eyes. His deep green eyes then stared at him and he said calmly, “But I am unwilling to give up everything I have spent in Losa City and Reed County… Haha, my faith is not as pure as I thought after all.”
He lowered his head slightly and said, “Please… and thank you very much.”
Seeing the previously arrogant archbishop bowing his head in front of him, Luo Mi didn’t know what he was thinking, and reminded him in a complicated way: “I need to plant the seeds of charm in your heart so that you can ignore your demon bloodline for a long time – have you really decided?”
Ellis nodded and whispered, “I know. I just hope that His Royal Highness is right.”
Anos believed that demons also had the qualifications to confess and pray before God. Ellis had originally scoffed at this statement, thinking it was pure heresy, but now he couldn’t help but hope that it was right.
An illusory and blurry light flashed in Luo Mi’s eyes, shrouding Archbishop Ellis, who had completely let go of his mind.
After a moment, Archbishop Ellis’s distracted eyes regained focus, and his expression returned to the arrogance and confidence it had at the beginning.
Ellis Podoval’s pale face regained its healthy color, and the canine teeth at the corners of his mouth slowly returned to the size of a normal human.
He stretched out his hand, and a ball of holy light appeared in his palm.
And the system’s announcement sounded in Luo Mi’s ears:
[Task progress update: Charm three senior members of the Church and plant the seeds of charm in their consciousness (1/3).]
[Progress update reward: 20 points and one physical upgrade.]
[Host, please choose the upgrade time and upgrade direction.]
