Chapter 142 Human-to-human transmission of the sloth virus has occurred
Commonwealth, Massachusetts.
In a cave more than a hundred kilometers away from Red Lion College.
The pool is quiet, with a few water lilies floating in it and a thick blue mist.
The surface of the pool suddenly rippled, reflecting the walking figure, and a helpless voice echoed in the cave.
"People are knocking on the door. Are you still asleep, Belphegor?"
A closed water lily in the center of the pool slowly unfolded its white petals.
Small and exquisite, like a hand-made version of Belphegor, he was lying on the core of a water lily, rubbing his sleepy eyes and speaking in a lazy tone.
"It's you, Mammon... what kind of wind is it, oh..." She yawned and said, "Did it blow you here?"
Mammon sighed and said:
"No matter what, if a visitor comes to visit, you should at least get up first to greet him."
Belphegor was slightly distracted. After understanding Mammon's meaning, he closed the petals of the water lily again.
A stream of blue light flew from the top of the water lily and landed on the gorgeous throne of the cave, revealing the true form of the Demon God of Sloth.
The Sloth Demon God is a silver-haired red boy with devilish horns on his head, bat wings spread out behind his back, a proud chest, and a black tights.
Her true body is a 'dream', so her appearance is closer to that of a 'dream demon'.
Belphegor crossed his long legs and cupped his chin, saying, "Now, we can finally talk."
That was "energy saving mode" just now, and the current state is considered "power consumption mode".
If possible, Belphegor would really like to sleep all the time.
Entertaining guests and the like...so troublesome!
'Still as lazy as ever.'
Mammon's mind was wandering and she said helplessly:
"Didn't you realize that just now, another piece of your original power was taken away?"
"Of course I noticed it."
Belphegor said seriously: "As early as last time, after my original power was taken away, I wanted to get back the original power located on other altars."
Mammon was startled: "Then what?"
"Then..." Belphegor sat slumped on the throne, his eyes distracted, "I kept putting it off, but in the end I forgot..."
Mammon was speechless.
So far, this procrastinator and laziness are in the advanced stages of cancer.
It's a miracle that the devil who is too lazy to die has not been eliminated yet.
"Did you really not prepare any trump cards?" Mammon asked indifferently, "If you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't even be qualified to continue being lazy."
Hearing that he couldn't continue to mess around, a cold light flashed across Belphegor's eyes, his red lips slightly opened, and he said calmly:
"Of course I have my own plans."
"for example?"
"It seems that for the sake of your hard work, it doesn't hurt to tell you."
Belphegor lightly shrugged and said, "In addition to the abilities you know, I also have another ability called 'parasitism'."
Mammon was slightly startled.
"Life affected by the 'power of laziness' will eventually become as lazy as me."
Belphegor said: "This is not a bad thing, because life consists in stillness."
"And these lazy individuals will provide me with the source of life."
Belphegor said lazily: "When the 'Power of Sloth' completely affects that human being, he will become my subject..."
"The more original power he gains, the less I need to come forward in person." Belphegor yawned, "Just lie at home and wait."
"It's just like a 'parasitic virus'." Mammon praised.
"Haha, when I first studied this ability, I was quite 'diligent'." Belphegor said proudly.
Continuously eating and waiting to die, and intermittently feeling complacent.
This is the truest portrayal of the ‘Sloth Demon’ Belphegor.
Mammon said in a deep voice: "But did you overlook one thing?"
"Which one?"
"As the leader of the demon gods, Lord Lucifer, her 'power of arrogance' can suppress other powers of original sin to a certain extent."
Mammon said calmly: "And that human also took away the 'power of arrogance'..."
As he listened slowly, Belphegor's face gradually became subtle, and his eyes widened slightly.
He, that human being, even Lucifer's arrogant power was taken away by him?
"So, will your "parasitism" be ineffective against him?" Mammon asked.
Demon God of Sloth:(つД｀)???
Belphegor held half of his cheek, took a deep breath, and smiled:
"I want to sleep first."
Mammen raised her gaze: "Huh?"
Belphegor seemed to be discouraged and returned to "energy-saving mode", floating in the air on bat wings, with his head downcast and his eyes gloomy:
"It's okay, you'll be fine after a sleep, you'll be fine after a sleep..."
Mammon shook his head, with an attitude of "being angry and refusing to argue".
Mammon, who is mixed in human society, naturally knows that there are not a few modern people who believe in the "God of Sloth".
Although he does not lack the power of faith, Belphegor is not a person who takes the initiative to cause trouble.
In the medieval times, the reason why she was defined as one of the "Seven Deadly Sins" was not because her sins were extremely evil.
But just because he was too lazy, he neglected the stronger gods.
And the lazy cancer patient in front of me... is hopeless and waiting to die!
"I will contact you if there is new news."
Mammon was about to say goodbye: "This time the information is free, next time I will have to pay for the wealth or collection."
"Wait a minute."
The petite Belphegor flapped his wings, suspended in mid-air, and said:
"I can sense that Lord Lucifer's aura is approaching... Does she have any new plans?"
Belphegor remained as indifferent as ever.
Mammon sighed softly: "She is preparing for the 'resurrection ceremony', and only the last link is left."
Belphegor suddenly looked serious and asked: "Where is the resurrection place?"
"In this continental area... why are you asking this?"
Mammon said with a hint of ridicule: "I don't remember that you have the character to help your colleagues."
Belphegor's eyes flashed and he shook his head.
You have to stay away quickly.
I don’t want Lucifer to disturb my ruined plan!

The smooth process of dismantling the altar of the Demon God of Sloth surprised Lin Xiao.
The altar is located in an underground river, with pieces of Sloth floating in the center.
There are not even monsters or card fallers guarding the area.
Lin Xiao just walked over, released the dark source power, decomposed the demon altar, and then...
The second copy of ‘The Power of Sloth’ is now available!
The two pieces of Sloth merged into one, forming a crystal clear sapphire, which was collected by Lin Xiao into the fire.
At the same time, the ‘Sloth Domain’ has been enhanced.
Now the scope of the 'Sloth Field' is larger, and the flow of time has become slower.
In the eyes of people outside the field, Lin Xiao's movement speed will be greatly improved.
"They don't even bother to recruit monsters and believers..."
Lin Xiao felt the 'power of laziness' in the fire and murmured:
"The Demon God of Sloth, your laziness has reached a new level!"
In addition, when the Demon God Altar is decomposed, a piece of golden material "Oliha Steel" is dropped.
Lin Xiao decided to keep it and use it when needed.
Walk out of the underground river and see the sunshine outside the cave again.
Chu Yun and Sigrid are waiting here.
"How's it going?" The little secretary was a little nervous: "I didn't even hear the sound of fighting. What's the specific situation?"
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment and said: "There are no monsters or card-killers near the altar, so I was not disturbed at all when I dismantled the altar."
The two were slightly startled.
Chu Yun chose his words carefully: "The situation... is a bit special."
Lin Xiao nodded: "Yeah, I'm not used to dismantling the Demon God Altar without a duel."
Chu Yun was silent.
I think you are obviously not used to it because there is no violent demolition!
"That's a good thing too." Sigrid said with a smile, "At least it saves a lot of trouble."
"Let's go." Chu Yun turned around, "Go back and report on this operation... hurry up, and you can still catch up with the opening ceremony of the finals tomorrow night."
This operation happened suddenly.
It was during the warm-up period for the finals that he came out to solve the incident related to the Demon God of Sloth.
But the operation went quite smoothly.
Successfully obtained the original power of the Demon God of Sloth.
Moreover, I seem to have a better understanding of the character of the Demon God of Sloth...
Get into the back seat of the vehicle.
Lin Xiao tried to feel the ‘power of laziness’.
A feeling of exhaustion came over him, causing him to yawn involuntarily.
The next moment, another cool mental energy poured into his mind, telling Lin Xiao, "You can't rest yet."
In the Middle Ages, Lucifer led more than half of the angels in heaven to rebel against God, but ultimately failed.
After she was thrown into hell, she became the leader of the demons with her extraordinary ability and charm.
With her character, she will never be willing to be weak and let "laziness" erode her heart.
Lin Xiao thought to herself, listen to me, thank you, Arrogant Demon God!

Not far from Red Lion College.
Confederate Historical Park.
Through the lush and tall woods, there is an abandoned area where the project development was discontinued.
In the wasteland.
In the old Gothic steeple church, the 'Omniscient Eye' on the wall lit up a purple fire.
Lucifer heard someone silently chanting her name.
That person is sincere and determined, and will be a suitable follower.
Then, Lucifer opened his eyes from the darkness.
I want to see clearly who that person is.
Lucifer's eyes are cold and he looks at the distant time and space with the help of his 'all-knowing eye'.
The next moment, her expression suddenly became strange, and she almost became violent.
"unlucky!"
…
One day has passed since the showdown between Tulip and Red Lion.
The Tulips defeated the strong and defeated the Red Lions away from home, which became the hottest topic in this year's league forum.
Among them, "Tulip Sun" Juventus has become the most watched star player with its outstanding performance.
The discussion about the finals, Tulip VS Honeysuckle, is still in full swing.
On paper, Tulip has the advantage.
However, due to the ring format, the winner can stay in the ring forever.
The opinions on the forum are one-sided.
Juventus, which has acquired the inheritance of the 'Lion Knight' among the Knights of the Round Table, is very likely to create another miracle.
The outside world is noisy and noisy.
The players gritted their teeth and prepared for the battle.
On the other hand, the investigation team has also made new progress in its investigation of the resurrection location.
Among the many questionable places, the 'Confederate Historical Park', which records the proud history of the Confederacy, is prominently listed.
Lin Xiao decided to investigate one by one in order after the finals.
After all, he has been targeted by the Demon God of Arrogance, and there is no way he can escape.
It would be better to attack her before she is resurrected, and the chance of winning will be greater.
The two-day warm-up period for the finals passed by in a blink of an eye.
Night falls.
Thousands of ticket-buying spectators flooded into the Red Lion Stadium, and dozens of media radio stations and live broadcast channels broadcast the event simultaneously.
Margaret mobilized security forces from multiple continents to take charge of security during the finals to prevent arson and other vicious incidents from happening again.
Delegations of teachers and students from the three schools, principals, and people from all walks of life gathered in the auditorium.
Even Roman sent his secretary here to show his attention to the "Three Schools League" finals.
Under the illumination of rows of searchlights, the open-air stadium was brightly lit.
Brilliant fireworks rose in the night sky, and the cheers suddenly boiled.
The voice of the well-known commentator sounded, arousing even more enthusiasm.
"Hello everyone, I'm Leo, welcome to the finals of the three-school league!"
In the official live broadcast room, the number of viewers has soared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The pilot camera panned the enthusiastic audience, teachers and students, and the coaching teams of Tulip and Lonicera on both sides of the duel venue.
When the camera panned over Lin Xiao, it was frozen for three seconds.
Lin Xiao raised his head and noticed that the black lens was facing him, with a red dot flashing below it.
On the big screen, Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, and countless bullet screens flashed through the live broadcast room.
"This guy is so handsome!"
"You are so young and you are still the coach of Lonicera?"
"Three minutes, I want his contact information!"
Soon someone posted Professor Lin’s official information on the forum:
A fifth-level duel master, the youngest professor in Lonicera's history, and a well-known expert in ancient linguistics...
Jin Cancan's resume is enough to blind people's eyes and cause shock among netizens.
Facts have proved that some people are not only handsome and capable of fighting, but also have extremely outstanding cultural level.
It's true that a sparrow pecked the cow's butt and a bird ate the cow's pussy!
Seeing that the limelight was about to be stolen by this "passerby", Leo took control of the situation and said:
"Since the start of the three-school league, we have staged many exciting duels."
"Today, there will be a showdown between Lonicera University and Tulip University, who will win, let's wait and see!"
Players lounge.
Juventus listened to the cheers, exhaled, opened his cold eyes, and said with a smile:
"Let's go, let us win."
Hetty looked at his smile and was slightly startled.
Juventus looks very different today...
This unruly smile was far from his previous humility.
But perhaps, this confidence can make him stronger.
"The first one to appear is the contestant from Tulip!"
Juventus led the team and took the lead, facing the camera and cheering, showing a friendly smile.
"Next, let us welcome the contestants from Lonicera!"
Jolina closed her eyes, and a sun seemed to appear in her field of vision.
That sun is a gift from Bast and Anubis, derived from Sharo's inheritance, the 'Eye of Horus'.
The left eye of Horus has the power to see into people's hearts and reality.
The sun gradually changed, showing a figure that should not have appeared.
In his mind, Lin Xiao's smiling appearance merged with the indifferent and cold armor of the epee man.
Jolina opened her ruby-like beautiful and clear red boy, with a confident curve at the corners of her mouth, a tall and delicate profile, and a flying golden ponytail as she walked into the venue with her head held high.
It turns out that this is the reality I am pursuing...not bad at all.
The players from both sides entered the arena, and Du Jingang served as the referee and said in a deep voice:
