Chapter 15: Divinity?!

The room was silent.

All that could be heard was the sound of the wind outside the window, and the insect chirping that sounded from time to time.

Did I hear wrong?

Luo Yan didn't dare to be careless.

He first confirmed the situation of the early warning magic circle, and then carefully checked every blind spot, but found nothing.

Just when he suspected that he was oversensitive, that fleeting white shadow flashed across the mirror in the corner again.

Luo Yan frowned, his magic wand pointed like lightning in the direction facing the mirror, but there was still nothing there, and he couldn't see anything.

However, he still bluffed and said to the air.

"I see you, come out."

"I I I can't come out."

The shy voice came from behind, Luo Yan turned his head sharply, only to see that the voice came from the mirror, and a blurred figure appeared in the mirror that was originally empty.

"Ghost?"

No—

This guy is still a bit different from a ghost.

Luo Yan, who often deals with undead creatures, could tell that this guy was not any kind of undead, but more like a pure spiritual body.

Hearing himself being called a ghost, the shadow swaying in the mirror said angrily.

"I'm not a ghost..."

Luo Yan immediately pursued and asked.

"Then what are you?"

"I... I also want to know..."

That voice was full of confusion, seemingly unable to figure out the situation at this very moment.

Luo Yan frowned slightly.

He wasn't sure if that was faked.

"What do you mean?"

The figure in the mirror fell into silence.

After a long time, it said in an uncertain tone.

"I... I might be your divinity."

"...?"

Divinity?

Luo Yan was stunned.

He didn't remember having such a thing.

"Wait a minute..." Disturbed by this shocking clue, Luo Yan moved his magic wand pointing at the air, and his index finger pressed his eyebrows. "I'm a bit confused, what does divinity mean? By the way, what is your relationship with Lin Te Isaac?"

He had indeed harvested a batch of faith recently, but it should be far from the level of condensing divinity.

If becoming a god were so easy, the streets would be full of Demon Gods! Intuition told him.

This might be a trick of that "God of Machines".

"Lin Te Isaac?" That drifting voice was full of confusion. "Such a familiar name... can you tell me who he is?"

Luo Yan stared at it in the mirror, deliberating his words and opening his mouth.

"The last emperor of the Isaac Dynasty of the Laine Kingdom, a man who suspectedly once became a god, that's all I know... have you remembered?"

That white shadow pondered for a long time, nodded, and shook its head again.

"Very blurry... I seem to remember, he made me, and put me in a certain place."

At this time, it suddenly thought of something again, and opened its mouth in surprise.

"Right! I think I remembered, it might be because of that Demon King territory core!"

Luo Yan was stunned.

"Demon King territory core?"

"That's right!"

That drifting white mist nodded its abstract head and analyzed with a cheerful voice.

"You established a soul connection with the Demon King territory core, and aren't I your divinity? Then I connected with that statue too! And then and then, there was a consciousness body inside that core, it wanted to eat me, but it was too weak, so it was eaten by me!"

"..."

That is the consciousness body of the Demon King territory core? Luo Yan did remember that it was taught in the Demon King territory overview class at the Demon King Academy that the Demon King territory core was not completely dead, but existed as a consciousness body woven by magic technology.

That thing is not only the Demon King's assistant, but also the mark left by His Majesty the Demon God in the mortal world.

Through it, one can convert the faith power stored in the Demon King territory core into monsters, or use it to change the terrain and expand the area of the labyrinth.

The professor of the Demon King territory overview class specially emphasized that when establishing a soul connection with the Demon King territory core, don't try to resist, and be devout and completely hand over your body and mind to His Majesty the Demon God.

Luo Yan didn't resist.

Moreover, the stubborn Bronze-tier he was a few hours ago couldn't resist even if he wanted to.

However, he never expected that the labyrinth assistant sent by the Demon God was actually swallowed by this guy?! "Really or fake..." Luo Yan, who came back to his senses, panicked a bit.

"Of course it's true!" That drifting white mist even became proud, and said complacently. "I am your divinity, it's impossible to lie to you."

Luo Yan's eyes went straight.

"No—you ate that thing, what should I do?!"

"No influence at all, rather, now the functions of the Demon King territory are completely in your hands!"

That shadow looked at Luo Yan, and continued with a cheerful voice.

"Not only that! That Demon King territory has truly and genuinely become your own domain! Instead of that Demon God's territory! You don't have to worry about the situation of those players being discovered by the Demon God!"

This guy even knows about the players.

It might be that what it said is all true.

At this very moment, Luo Yan couldn't understand the weight contained in this sentence for the time being, and even felt a bit of a headache. If the situation here was discovered by Hell, how to explain it. Just a few hours ago, he was still planning to write a letter to report those two-five-boys underground, didn't expect the big brother to laugh at the second brother, and he himself became a two-five-boy.

Looking at Luo Yan who fell into trouble, the white shadow also realized that its behavior might have brought him trouble, and whispered aggrievedly.

"But... Demon King, if I hadn't done something at that time, I would have been swallowed in one gulp. If the Demon God discovered that you carry the mark of another deity, you would be in quite a bind, wouldn't you?"

"You say it like that... you ate His son, and He wouldn't discover it?" Luo Yan didn't know if this metaphor was correct, but he understood it that way himself.

"That's really not necessarily discoverable," the white shadow analyzed seriously, "Even if it's a god, it's impossible to know the situation of every child of His. And this is not His territory, the probability of Him seeing it is very very small... especially since this is not His territory, it's almost impossible for Him to notice."

"Let's just assume it's like that," Luo Yan sighed, suddenly moved in his heart, and thought of a possibility, "Wait, I seem to know who you are! Could it be... the stone tablet in my sea of consciousness?"

"That's right! We met before! It's just that I couldn't speak at that time hehe..." Hearing that Luo Yan finally remembered himself, that drifting white shadow swayed happily in the air.

"Then... the tasks received by the players? Were they also released by you?"

"Exactly!"

Luo Yan had a headache.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

The white shadow said embarrassedly.

"Because I wasn't able to speak originally, and I didn't expect that after eating that little guy living in the Demon King territory core, I would inherit its functions, not only being able to walk out of your sea of consciousness, but also being able to communicate with you like this... I was also very shocked, and a bit hesitant about whether to come out."

"After all, my original function was just to help you perfect some things you couldn't do technically. For example, managing the forum, and releasing tasks when you order players to do things..."

Luo Yan scratched the back of his head and stuffed the magic wand back into his bosom.

"..."

What a strange feeling.

It's like living with another person in the body.

But this guy can't be counted as a person?

At most, it's just a stone, or the so-called "divinity" it calls itself.

Speaking of which, what is the situation with that Disaster System? Is Lin Te Isaac trying to help him become a god?

But why? At this time, he suddenly remembered the pop-up window that appeared when the system loaded—

【Let this stupid world feel pain!】

Revenge? He felt it wasn't that simple.

Luo Yan pondered for a long time, looking at the indescribable mist in the mirror, and spoke slowly.

"How should I address you?"

"I don't know either... why don't you give me a name?"

That voice was full of expectation.

"Then... how about Hearing You You?" Luo Yan thought seriously for a moment and asked tentatively, but didn't expect this guy to react so strongly.

"I said I'm not a ghost!"

"Then let's go with You You."

"... What's the difference between this and the previous one!?"

Taking two names in a row and neither was liked, Luo Yan didn't expect this guy to be so hard to serve.

"Then, let's still take the second one."

"..."

It seems this guy belongs to the type that eats hard but not soft.

Luo Yan calmed down and continued to ask another question he cared about.

"What is your range of activity?"

Hearing You You thought for a moment.

"Hmm... basically I can go anywhere the Demon King territory covers, and besides that, it's around you, I can almost walk to the position of the door." By the way by the way! I can also share what I see with you! Just like this!"

While saying this, the white mist in the mirror gradually changed its appearance, turning into a blurred mirror.

That "mirror in the mirror" was like a screen soaked in water, through which Luo Yan saw the players in the mine cave.

This group of energetic skeleton soldiers had already hunted more than twenty slave rats that had defected from the labyrinth, making the whole mine cave jump around.

Luo Yan also saw a player squatting beside the corpse of a slave rat, comparing with a small knife in his hand, seemingly wanting to see how real this game could be.

Not far away, Chris had just woken up and fainted again, the 【Faith Value +1】 contributed was decisively absorbed by the Demon King territory core, and at the same time appeared in his own system interface.

So that's it.

Luo Yan should have realized it when he was in the mine cave, the faith value absorbed by the Demon King territory core was actually synchronized in his system.

The two should have been completely unrelated.

"A bit interesting..."

Staring at that mirror, the more Luo Yan looked, the more energetic he became, so much so that the sleepiness he couldn't bear in the evening had vanished at this moment.

Is this the fun of eating melons while hiding in the dark? Speaking of which, if this guy could cover the whole Demon King territory, wouldn't he be able to perceive it as soon as an adventurer came in?

He could even hide behind the adventurers and watch the show! Luo Yan suddenly realized that Hearing You You's ability seemed to be even more awesome than he imagined.

Looks like he has to carry a mirror with him from now on!

At this time, he remembered another thing, so he immediately opened his mouth.

"By the way Hearing You You, can you see the official website?"

"Official website? Of course I can... wow! It's so lively on the forum!"

As the voice fell, the mist in the mirror changed its shape again, actually revealing the official website of "Disaster OL".

Luo Yan leaned in front of the mirror, wanting to see more clearly.

Everything that came into his eyes was just as Hearing You You said—

The whole forum was boiling!
