The astronaut had laughed enough, and a gentle voice sounded.
"No... it's not the time yet. Names have magic power. I can't say my name yet, as it will attract other people's attention."
To call a devil, you first need to know its name.
Boluogo noticed this. The astronaut in front of him had some purpose and did not want to be discovered.
"But don't worry, I will see the light of day again soon...with the help of you, Borogo Lazarus."
The astronaut gently patted Boluogo on the back, like a black-hearted boss encouraging his employees.
Bologg was fed up with this damn development. In his expectation, after seeing the devil, he should fight with him. But now, he was involved in a strange conversation and had to play chess with him. Bologg
Not wanting to follow the devil's lead, he pushed the astronaut away, keeping a safe distance between them.
Borlog asked, "Who are you?"
The astronaut didn't speak, just tilted his head and looked at Bologo. Bologo could feel that under the golden glass mask, an evil face was smiling at him and casting a teasing look.
"Your outfit does not belong to this era, but belongs to the memory of my 'previous life'... Sure enough, my birth is also related to you, right?"
Boluogo questioned again. His time travel was not a mysterious accident, but part of a grand conspiracy. Now he finally had a glimpse of the deep and dark corner.
"You took away my soul and gave me this gift..."
The more he told it, the more Boluogo felt an indescribable sense of fear, stemming from the fear of the absolutely unknown... fear.
It's like being in a dark and obscure alley, with dim lights flickering incessantly. There seems to be something crawling in the shadows that cannot be illuminated. No matter how hard you look, you can't catch its blurry outline.
Boluogo suddenly stopped and looked at the lonely and dark world around him. This was an absolutely unfamiliar and beyond normal understanding of the afterlife. And in this terrifying and cold afterlife, there was such an astronaut leisurely walking...
Watching movies.
In the ultimate death appeared the ultimate pioneer of mankind's exploration of the unknown.
"What on earth are you going to do!"
Boluogo poured out all the questions in his heart, with a lingering sound of anger.
The astronaut was silent for a moment. Just like before, he still did not directly respond to Bologg's question. Instead, he asked Bologg about another matter.
"Bologo, do you think there is such an omniscient and omnipotent being in this world?"
"Do you want to talk about yourself, and your brothers and sisters?"
Bologo struggled to control his emotions. Facing the astronauts, he, who had always been rational, inevitably lost control.
In this afterlife... in the void, I do not have the power to harm the devil. Apart from venting my anger, all my attacks are meaningless.
Bologg doesn't like to do meaningless things. What he needs is intelligence, more information related to the astronauts. At least he must find a way to deduce which of the seven original sins the astronaut is, so that Bologg can continue his goal.
Go down.
The astronaut asked Bologo, "Me? Why do you think so?"
Boluogo said sarcastically, "You are devils, omnipotent devils. Look at me. Am I not your masterpiece?"
The ridicule did not last long. Bologg remembered all his previous inferences about the devil. Under the astronaut's words, Bologg realized that what he thought might be correct.
Devils cannot interfere with reality and can only rely on debtors to act. Compared with omniscient and omnipotent beings, devils are more like embodied laws.
Boluogo's voice became deeper, "You are not omnipotent... you are just a group of slaves, slaves of a certain power."
Sudden laughter rang out, and there was a hint of madness in Boluogo's eyes, and his emotions changed like a roller coaster.
"This reminds me of a fable."
"what story?"
Boluogo showed an arrogant tone, "Please beg me."
The astronaut simply said, "Please."
Bologg's expression froze, and a devil was pleading with him. Unfortunately, Bologg didn't feel any pleasure, only an unspeakable emptiness.
Boluogo murmured, "It's not interesting."
"Just so you know, this kind of thing is meaningless to us." Just like tyrants, astronauts are extremely casual.
The devil is not human, and Bologg's provocation is meaningless.
The game was still going on, and Boluogo told the story, "Legend has it that a boy picked up a lamp kettle, and inside the lamp kettle there was a powerful genie who could grant the boy three wishes, but in the
After the three wishes are fulfilled, the djinn will be free."
Moving his body, Boluogo tilted his head and looked at the astronaut with a comfortable and mocking expression, "You and your brothers and sisters are like the imprisoned djinn, but unlike the djinn, you can
The wishes that can be realized are unlimited, but only at the cost of the soul."
"continue."
"You have the power to change the world, but you can only rely on the wishes of others to act. What's the difference between this and a prisoner?"
Boluogo continued according to his own speculation, "For this reason, you need a group of agents to intervene in reality for you, and I will be your agent and your debtor."
"All my actions are helping you directly or indirectly, but in the end these goals will only lead to one result - freedom."
The astronauts applauded, and he praised, "You are indeed the best, Boluogo."
"Why me? Why did you choose me?"
The astronaut acquiesced to Borlog's guess, but Borlog still had more questions that remained unanswered.
The damn devil in front of him seemed to be afraid of something. He kept silent about his identity, and also selectively answered Boluogo's questions, as if it was true as he said, some words that should not be said, once spoken,
, you will be discovered by something even more sinister.
Even astronauts are in awe, so what should he be in awe of?
slave.
yes……
Since the devil is a slave, what they fear must be the master who rules them.
Bologg's breathing was stagnant, and he looked at the astronaut in a panic. As if he knew what Bologg was thinking, the astronaut held up his fingers in front of him.
"Shh..."
Bologo could feel the astronaut smiling at him, and the closed golden glass mask opened again, revealing the deep darkness underneath, but this time there were many more things in the darkness.
A thousand scarlet eyes reflected the face of Borogo.
"Who am I?"
Since the astronaut was unwilling to answer the "master" part, Bologo hoped to obtain more information about himself.
"Why do you hang the curtain on me like this?"
He has received the gift of the Axis of Time and almost perfect immortality. For this reason, he must play an extremely important role in the astronauts' conspiracy.
"Why me?"
Faced with Bologg's questions, the astronaut, as always, asked Bologg another question.
"My brothers and sisters and I are not united. For thousands of years, we have been attacking each other and having constant disputes. And as you know, we can't do anything to each other, nor can we interfere with reality.
How do you think we should decide the winner in this difficult situation?"
Bologo whispered, "Proxy war."
"Agents, agents, debtors, believers... forget it, you can call this kind of thing whatever you want. There are so many of them, and their value has been drained out. Do you think they will really influence the disputes between us?
?”
The astronaut stretched out his hand and put it on Boluogo's shoulder.
"I only have cold demands from them, or exchanges based on equal value, but you are different.
Belogo Lazarus, you are different from them, you represent me, you are my "white king" on this chessboard, and everyone else is just a discard.
I bet my chips on you, and if you lose, it means I lose."
The astronaut's hands gradually tightened, and Bologg felt that he was restrained by steel clamps. His flesh and bones were being squeezed, and the pain continued. At the same time, evil words came into his ears, constantly hitting Bologg's mind.
"You are the 'chosen one' who represents me in this dispute."
The astronaut explains Bologna's mission.
"End this strife and bring me victory."
The astronaut asked for something from him. Boluogo suspected that he heard wrongly. Contempt appeared in his eyes, "Do you think I will cooperate with you so easily?"
"Well? Why not?" the astronaut said, "You are full of hostility towards me, but have you forgotten? Bologo, you took the initiative to choose this blood contract."
"The devil never lies, and he never forces himself. All choices are in your hands. You took the initiative to choose all this. Why are you blaming me for everything now?"
The astronaut's words caused Bologg to fall into the ice cellar. Bologg had been trying not to think about this problem all this time, but now the astronaut showed it all bloody before Bologg's eyes.
Boluogo wanted to say something else, but suddenly he heard someone calling him, constantly saying his name.
"Bologo!"
The voice was very familiar, and Boluogo whispered her name.
"Aimu?"
"It looks like it's time, Boluogo."
The astronaut stood up slowly and said goodbye to Boluogo, "I look forward to our next meeting."
"What are you..."
Bologg stretched out his hand to grab it. He thought the astronaut was about to escape, but the next second Bologg's eyes became hollow and he lost consciousness.
He maintained his last movements, and his body turned gray. Before he fell, the astronaut grabbed Burrow. He looked at the face losing color and turning into plaster. Without saying a word, he just dragged Burrow.
Ge walked towards the crater in the distance.
Arriving at the edge of the crater, the astronauts threw Bologg into a deep pit shrouded in shadow, where he joined the mountains of corpses.
A new Boluogo was born again in the void. After a short delay, he was pulled out of the void and returned to the world.
