Chapter 204: Hey, God
Time stood still while being with the god, as if they had entered a gap in time and space.
The piece of the god looked very busy, searching through the vast amount of documents in the room.
Lin Lin couldn’t understand the strange words written on the papers. Even if she stole a glance, it made no sense. In the end, she focused on the god who looked just like Your Majesty the Demon King.
Unexpectedly, the sky outside the Demon King Castle is always bright. When I think about it, the sky in the demon realm also had day and night before that great battle. Perhaps the God of Darkness does not have a special preference for day or night.
The sun always hangs at the same time. When I open the window, even though the wind blows, not a single leaf falls. Lin Lin does not feel hungry, and she drinks water just because she thinks, "I want to drink water."
Although Lin Lin does not really believe in gods and spirits, her current situation feels very much like the "going to heaven" in some novels.
"Wait!" As Lin Lin pushes open the window and looks at the scenery outside, she suddenly wakes up, "I can’t have already died, can I?"
It makes a lot of sense for a dead human to see the god of death from a certain point of view!
Unlike the coldness Lin Lin imagined, the god who could play chess with Safir might not fit the traditional image of a god. The young man’s attitude is still indifferent, but he surprisingly responds to every sentence.
"Yes," the god replied, waving his hand casually. Two pieces of white paper vanished into his mind, some kind of speed reading method. "You’re dead."
Lin Lin: …
Because of the relaxed way the other person says this, Lin Lin cannot tell if he is speaking the truth or just making a random reply.
After all, this god has a rather bad reputation, filled with endless dark secrets and past crimes.
Lin Lin turned around, crossing her arms, with a face full of doubt as she looked at the other person.
A few seconds later, the young man raised his eyes.
In an instant, Lin Lin understood why there are lines in so many bossy novels that say, "Don’t smile; when you smile, you don’t look like her anymore."
Although their faces were exactly the same, the moment Lin Lin and the other person looked into each other’s eyes, she realized they were different inside.
"You died long before you came to this world," the young man said calmly. "A soul that can travel through time needs to have just the right connection with the past world."
"Oh," Lin Lin looked down.
It was the answer she expected, and even after hearing it from the other person, Lin Lin felt a sense of indifference.
"Then," Lin Lin pointed to her chest, unsure where the young man said the "fragments" were, "how did your ‘fragments’ end up with me? And why me?"
The deity before her was the source of her arrival in this world, unrelated to practicality, and Lin Lin’s current problems were all born from her curiosity.
"Why was I chosen?" This question was quite concerning; Lin Lin did not think she had any talents that would amaze another world.
"The reason for choosing you is very simple," the young man replied, "When selecting souls, we found you filled with great resentment. Your intense anger naturally drew attention."
Lin Lin: …So I am just this unlucky image, huh?
"Then we discovered you had worked overtime for five straight days and were still diligently working. Being able to endure this much makes you a very resilient soul. It would be too sad for you to simply disappear, so we chose you."
Suddenly, it felt warm and healing! Could it be that you are a great kind person who saves others?
Thinking about it, being too hardworking had led someone to pick her out for another world to be just as a workhorse, and her life sounded even harsher!
Lin Lin felt down for two minutes but suddenly remembered that the other person hadn’t answered the question about "how the fragments were on her."
Lin Lin perked up again and asked about this matter.
"I don’t know," the young man replied, looking like he wasn’t lying. "Putting the pieces on you is not part of my plan. In my plan, I only need to use an outside soul to enter this world; I don’t need to linger on you."
Lin Lin’s eyes widened like saucers, trying to see the true feelings of the other person.
Well, Lin Lin thought a bit sadly, if he lied, I wouldn’t be able to tell.
Then she heard the young man’s calm voice, "The pieces are very precious to me. I have no need to split them again."
"Oh," Lin Lin said, understanding, "just like a whole diamond that weighs the same as many small diamonds, the whole one is worth more."
She instinctively touched the contract mark on the side of her neck.
Even though the temperature in the room was just right, that side felt oddly swollen and painful for some reason.
－
Life for a god is very boring.
Lin Lin did not know if the God of Darkness was a very curious god himself, or if the fragment left behind was simply very curious. In any case, he was constantly trying to understand things he did not know, but events that other fragments had experienced.
This office was like an information hub, where all the fragments stored their information for other fragments to read.
Lin Lin was unsure about what he was curious about; after all, the God of Darkness was already dead. According to what Safir once told Lin Lin, these fragments would fade away over time.
Lin Lin thought that instead of wasting time reading the "Autobiography," it would be better to be a good person and help her solve the survival problem of the young Demon King.
In this space, not to mention the Demon King Castle, Lin Lin could not even leave the castle. When she tried to walk out the door or jump out the window, an invisible wall would block her, similar to the situation she faced when she attempted to rush out of the office.
Lin Lin began to explore the castle.
The castle looked more magnificent than any version Lin Lin had ever imagined, with luxurious curtains and sculptures close to the walls. This was probably the original appearance of the Demon King Castle.
Lin Lin once again confirmed that for gods, time is free.
A god could possess the body of His Majesty the Demon King from two hundred years in the future, as well as the appearance of the Demon King Castle from many years ago, and this could be achieved by just one fragment.
When Lin Lin had never seen a deity before, she thought of gods as a kind of race. However, when she witnessed the true benefits of the gods, she began to sincerely envy them.
Ah, I wonder if the gods can help her directly copy the account books for the next hundred years; she doesn’t want to do any work at all.
Lin Lin checked the treasury again, despairingly closing her eyes.
It seems that the Demon King Castle didn’t just start spending extravagantly with the current young Demon King; judging by this amazing wealth passed down from ancestors, the castle must have had several generations dedicated solely to spending money.
Lin Lin began to suspect that the God of Darkness is the kind of god who is terrible at management games, who, just to play an overpowered hero version, spent a fortune when the game first launched, but because of poor management skills, has lost everything by now.
The current Demon King Castle looks too empty compared to other versions, and there are no other monsters, so it is very uninteresting.
Lin Lin went to a place she would never have gone before, the basement of Demon King Castle.
Two hundred years ago, it was because the place was very empty, and two hundred years later, it is because a fierce vampire is locked up there.
But because Safir placed the magic array and the coffin in the dungeon, it must be a special place, at least one that can help Safir increase the effectiveness of his spells.
The dungeon was as cold and dark as ever, and this familiarity made Lin Lin feel safe.
She walked down the spiral staircase, and the only sound in the hallway was the echo of her footsteps.
Pushing open the iron door, she found a completely clean dungeon, with unused iron chains wrapped around the iron door meant for holding prisoners.
Lin Lin saw a familiar coffin.
This coffin was placed in exactly the same spot as Safir’s formation, and Lin Lin confirmed it was not the ancestral coffin of Demon King Castle.
When she got beside the coffin, Lin Lin knocked on it but heard nothing inside.
Then, she put both hands to push the heavy coffin lid.
Lin Lin started to grumble about why they made such a high-quality coffin; the solid wood lid was so hard to push. She tried for a long time, and only when her face and hands were red did she manage to turn the lid a little.
Inside was, of course, empty, looking just like an ordinary new coffin.
But it must be here for a reason; it looks like the only thing that can connect to the real world.
"Maybe I should put that shard back in here," Lin Lin guessed.
After all, the black mist flowed out of the coffin.
Oh, how I wish Safir could do this; he has a lot of clever ideas to get things done.
Lin Lin could only think of how foolish she looked pointing at the coffin and asking the dark-haired young man, "Hey! Divine shard, there’s a coffin here; why don’t you lie down and give it a try?"
Lin Lin stared at the coffin for a few seconds.
Now that she was here, should she give it a try too?
Thinking this, Lin Lin curled up and squeezed herself into the coffin she had opened, lying down inside.
…It was very quiet.
Not only was it quiet, but it was also wrapped in the rich scent of wood, creating a feeling of peace.
Lin Lin closed her eyes; even though her body was not tired at all, her instincts as a living being made her feel like she could lie down and rest for a while.
"Good night," Lin Lin said, "Please turn off the light. Thank you."
At first, it was just a habit of acting strangely, since she was completely alone in the dungeon now.
Until the lights in the dungeon suddenly went out.
Lin Lin opened her eyes in the darkness.
Lin Lin let out a sharp, loud sound.
