Zhao Kongcheng felt like he was about to explode with anger.
"Me! And you have the audacity to ask who I am? I am the innocent victim who spent the entire night being emotionally deceived by you!"
Zhao Kongcheng tightly held Lin Qiyue's hand, resembling a pure-hearted uncle afraid of losing his boyfriend to someone else. "Let me tell you, don't play coy with me. Today, you're not getting away!"
Lin Qiyue glanced at his locked arm, gave up futile struggles, and assumed a resigned demeanor.
"Fine, where do you want to talk?"
"Come with me."
And so, Zhao Kongcheng walked with Lin Qiyue, hand in hand, towards an undisclosed destination...
When Lin Qiyue saw himself approaching a love hotel, his expression suddenly changed, and he tried to escape the scene!
However, Zhao Kongcheng didn't give him a chance. He firmly dragged him towards the hotel.
"What... what do you want to do? I'm telling you, I have hemorrhoids, don't mess around...!"
"What's with you high school boys? It's just a place to chat."
"Do we need to go to a love hotel to chat? Haven't you seen the looks people are giving us on the way here? I'm so embarrassed!"
"What do you understand? This is a safe house. Bringing you here doesn't imply anything else. Do I look like... like that kind of person?!"
Rolling his eyes, Zhao Kongcheng dragged the struggling Lin Qiyue to the front desk and threw an extremely oily wink at the stunned female clerk.
"A Passionate Love Theme Suite, thank you."
Lin Qiyue: ...
The female clerk stood motionless, and after a momentary brain freeze, she inexplicably became excited!
"Alright, sir, we need your ID, and also, this young... young friend, please show your ID too."
Forced to surrender their IDs, Lin Qiyue looked at the overly excited female clerk, wondering what yaoi fantasy she was conjuring up...
But, considering the time - it was the middle of the night, a middle-aged man forcefully dragging a teenager to a love hotel for a suite, claiming it's just for chatting - who would believe that?!
"Here's your key card; the room is 3966. Have a pleasant stay!" The female clerk smiled slyly at the visibly distressed Lin Qiyue, her eyes almost closed into slits.
Lin Qiyue clenched his fists.
"Why are you standing there stupidly? Follow me upstairs," Zhao Kongcheng said, pulling Lin Qiyue towards the elevator.
After swiping the card to enter the room, Lin Qiyue witnessed an array of marvelous facilities, making him realize that the rich indeed play lavishly...
Truly thrilling!
Zhao Kongcheng locked the door and finally let go of Lin Qiyue. He sat on the electric bed, his body finally relaxing after a day of stiffness.
"Don't be so tense; we're really just here to chat," Zhao Kongcheng said, seeing Lin Qiyue's expression resembling someone facing a formidable enemy.
Sighing, Lin Qiyue sat on the sofa near the door. "What do you want to talk about?"
"Of course, I want to talk about you."
"Lin Qiyue, male, 17 years old, single, height 175 cm, weight..."
"You know I'm not talking about that," Zhao Kongcheng interrupted, holding his forehead and pointing to Lin Qiyue's eyes. "I'm talking about your eyes."
Lin Qiyue fell into silence.
"Have you met Michael?"
Upon hearing this question, Lin Qiyue's body trembled slightly. After hesitating for a while, he nodded gently.
Indeed, this man in front of him knew a lot, and the force behind him was undoubtedly powerful!
This question also revealed important information to Lin Qiyue: the archangel he saw ten years ago was none other than the renowned Archangel Michael.
Seeing Lin Qiyue nod, Zhao Kongcheng finally relaxed and looked at Lin Qiyue with gradually heated eyes.
"Why did He seek you out? What did He say to you? How far can you utilize the Forbidden Domain now?"
Zhao Kongcheng's questions were like a rapid-fire barrage. Lin Qiyue furrowed his brows, shook his head, and said, "You have too many questions."
Realizing he might have been too eager, Zhao Kongcheng chuckled awkwardly, "True, I'm sure you have many doubts in your mind. Let me answer them for you. Ask whatever you want to know."
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Qiyue, locking eyes with Zhao Kongcheng, asked the first question, "Do mythical deities truly exist in this world?"
"They do," Zhao Kongcheng answered without hesitation, nodding. "But not all gods exist."
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Kongcheng pondered, deciding where to start, "What do you think mythology is?"
After a moment's thought, Lin Qiyue replied, "A spiritual projection of ancient people? A mix of fear and fantasy about unknown forces in nature?"
"You're correct," Zhao Kongcheng nodded. "Until a hundred years ago, everyone believed that."
"A hundred years ago?"
"Yes, before that fog appeared, there was no trace of mythical beings in this world," Zhao Kongcheng's eyes squinted slightly. "However, since the appearance of that mist, everything... seemed to change."
"In September 1922, a year after the mist appeared, a team from Da Xia, sent to explore the fog, observed an enormous dragon flying slowly in the sky above the Mariana Trench. It was the first time in human history that a mythical creature had been observed."
"After extensive research, it was confirmed to be Leviathan, the Chaos Dragon mentioned in the Bible, supposedly created by God. The discovery of this colossal dragon directly overturned the understanding of the Da Xia leadership. They realized that the world had become fundamentally different since the arrival of the mist."
"When the fog first appeared, panic spread throughout Da Xia. To maintain national stability, the authorities concealed the results of this exploration."
"As the first mythical creature observed by humans, the Da Xia leadership designated Leviathan as 001. In subsequent explorations, they discovered more mythical creatures and continued numbering them."
"The Archangel Michael you saw is the third mythical being observed by humans in 1928, codenamed 003."
"1928?" Lin Qiyue was taken aback. "At that time, we hadn't even mastered the technology to land on the moon. How did they find the Archangel on the moon?"
"We didn't find Him. In March 1928, a golden sword aura emitted from the moon, traversed the universe, flattened a large volcano in North America. It was only then that we realized there was a divine being on the moon."
"North America? What's there?"
"Afterwards, our exploration team took a year to reach the volcano. In the ruins, they discovered the sealed divine being, codenamed 004."
Zhao Kongcheng paused, continuing, "Fallen angel, Lucifer."
Zhao Kongcheng felt like he was about to explode with anger.
"Me! And you have the audacity to ask who I am? I am the innocent victim who spent the entire night being emotionally deceived by you!"
Zhao Kongcheng tightly held Lin Qiyue's hand, resembling a pure-hearted uncle afraid of losing his boyfriend to someone else. "Let me tell you, don't play coy with me. Today, you're not getting away!"
