Through the glass window, the hour and minute hands on the clock tower moved forward crazily, so fast that only a black shadow remained.

clang--

There was a muffled sound from the bell tower.

This seemed to be an omen, the hour and minute hands on it gradually stopped, coming from the past to the present.

Xie Xiaozhou opened his eyes, and the original black and white world regained its brilliance.

Burning orange flames, dark green creepers entwined around the window, gray-gold handmade carpets on the ground...

But his pupils still reflect the images of the past.

The bell tower disintegrated in flames and tremors.

A little bit of sparks fell together with the tiles and walls, and it was about to collapse.But not only did the little godfather not think about getting away, but he took two steps forward.He stretched out his hand, wanting to keep Xie Xiaozhou, but he caught nothing and left nothing behind.

The flames were fleeting, leaving only the solitary figure of the little godfather among the ruins.

He lowered his head, his hair fell loosely on his forehead, and his cheeks were stained with the smell of fireworks, revealing a sense of loneliness.

Xie Xiaozhou wanted to speak to comfort him, but in a blink of an eye, the appearance of the little godfather had disappeared, and a man standing upright appeared in front of him instead.

The godfather stood beside him.

Xie Xiaozhou raised his head slightly. From his angle, he could see the curves of the godfather's shoulders and waist were cold and hard, and his emotions were restrained, without showing the slightest bit.

The voice that sounded in the fire just now... is the godfather?

Xie Xiaozhou turned his gaze, and found that something seemed to be crushed in the godfather's hand, translucent fragments fell on his toes, and there were traces of flames on the palm of his hand.

The godfather hung his injured hand by his side, and his shiny leather shoes stepped on the debris on the ground, making a crisp sound.

He walked towards Xie Xiaozhou.

Xie Xiaozhou felt a little uncomfortable.

I'm used to watching the cute version of the little godfather when I was young, and then I feel a little uncomfortable when I face the godfather who needs to look up to.

The audience in the live broadcast room thought the same way.

[Where is my little godfather? 】

【The little godfather is gone...】

[I really want to know how the little godfather will react after Xiao Zhouzhou disappears. Let the program team take some shots! 】

【You carefree people, I just like Godfather】

Footsteps gradually approached.

The godfather came out of the darkness, and the flames in the fireplace danced and reflected on the side of his face, making the edges and corners even more sharp and cold.

However, if you look carefully, you can still see part of the shadow of the little godfather.

Watching this scene, Xie Xiaozhou suddenly thought of something - he went back to the past and met the little godfather.So, will the godfather still remember what happened before?

He touched the tip of his nose a little guilty.

Uh... Maybe it's better not to remember.

At that time, Xie Xiaozhou's body became childish, and even his mind was becoming younger, and he made some strange actions.

It's kind of embarrassing to think about it now.

Just as he was thinking, the godfather had already stood still in front of him, the silver chain hanging over his face trembled slightly, and a little orange light reflected on the single lens.

Facing his godfather, Xie Xiaozhou recalled the act of kneading and hugging the little godfather in his childhood, and the guilt in his heart became stronger.

Facing the approach of the godfather, he subconsciously took a step back, and his heel hit the sofa behind him.

"Well——" Xie Xiaozhou suddenly felt a pain in his heel, unable to maintain his balance, thinking about falling behind him.

He thought he would fall heavily on the sofa, and closed his eyes reflexively, waiting for this terrible scene to come.

But after waiting for a while, the imaginary picture did not appear.

In the darkness, Xie Xiaozhou heard the crackling firewood in the fireplace, and also heard the sound of peaceful breathing in his ears.

The slender eyelashes trembled, and then Xie Xiaozhou opened his eyes.I saw the figure of the godfather close at hand, with a generous big hand supporting his back.

Xie Xiaozhou: "..."

This action is quite like what happens in TV dramas.

Fortunately, this state did not last long. After Xie Xiaozhou sat on the sofa safely, the godfather withdrew his hand.

Xie Xiaozhou's lips moved: "Godfather..."

The godfather straightened his back in silence.

Xie Xiaozhou's eyes scanned him back and forth.Seeing that the godfather's expression was still as indifferent as before, he was slightly relieved.

It should be... don't you remember?

It's just that under the cover of the monocle, he didn't realize that there was an inexplicable emotion hidden in the godfather's eyes.

It's like a cluster of flames ignited in the snow that has been frozen for thousands of years, or... this flame has always existed, and it was only rekindled because of Xie Xiaozhou.

【Wow--】

[You said, does the godfather still remember what happened before? 】

【I feel like I remember it. Didn't Zhouzhou go back to the past and change what happened? 】

The audience in the live broadcast room speculated intensely.

Whether it's the audience, or Xie Xiaozhou and the godfather, they forget the angels hanging in mid-air.

Unwilling to be reconciled, the angel came out to find a sense of existence, and the ugly meat wing struggled a bit: "Devil, you should fulfill our bet!"

Xie Xiaozhou blurted out: "What bet?"

The angel replied, "Find a heart as bright as a diamond."

Angel is a representative of justice and kindness, but it never believes that human beings can have virtue.

In its view, human beings are all despicable races, full of etiquette and morality, but full of evil desires deep in their hearts.

Therefore, it does not believe that Xie Xiaozhou will help the little godfather in the past.

The angel asked confidently: "What did you choose in the past? You must have wanted to kill lowly demons to save your life, right?"

Xie Xiaozhou: "?"

There was a vicious gleam in the angel's eyes: "Or, you abandoned the devil and ran away alone?"

The ending is nothing more than these two.

In that case, the angel thought, no one would be foolish enough to give up his life for a demon.

Countless pairs of eyes squeezed together, reflecting Xie Xiaozhou's face, it coaxed in a gentle tone: "It's okay, just tell me, no matter what decision you make, you should be forgiven."

Xie Xiaozhou said: "I have not given up on my little godfather."

Angel:"?"

After a while, the angel let out a strange laugh: "Do you think deception is useful? Now you have committed the crime of deception again. Devil, you lost, you should fulfill the bet and surrender your life."

【What is the angel talking to himself? 】

【Can you understand human speech】

【Zhouzhou said it all, he didn't give up on the little godfather】

Xie Xiaozhou didn't know what was going on with the bet between the angel and the godfather, but when he heard this, he immediately looked up at the godfather.

There was no wave on the godfather's face.

Xie Xiaozhou was about to speak when a shadow suddenly fell in front of him, blocking his sight.The godfather's slightly rough fingers brushed his forehead, brushing a bit of fine forehead hair to one side.

He heard the godfather say, "I'll go out for a while." After a pause, he added, "Don't worry."

Who would worry.

Xie Xiaozhou cursed, the shadow in front of him dissipated, and the figure of the godfather also disappeared in the room.

Disappeared with him, and an angel like a dead chicken.

Xie Xiaozhou looked at the empty room, and raised his hand to touch the place the godfather had touched.

Because demons live in the dark abyss all year round, they are in the company of magma flames, so their body temperature is higher than that of humans.

Touching it now, I can still feel the body temperature left by the godfather.

Is it his delusion?

The Godfather felt a little different.

Xie Xiaozhou sat on the sofa and waited for a while, but before the godfather came back, he heard an angry roar: "I won't lose, how could I lose—"

Discern carefully, these words should be spoken by an angel.

But it no longer uses that pretentious tone, but shows the real side.Twisted, hysterical, more demon than a demon.

Xie Xiaozhou approached the door, opened it carefully, and looked out.

The godfather was standing in the darkness not far away. He raised his right hand, and there was a deep and visible scar on it. Blood rolled down his wrist, and finally dripped to form a small puddle on the ground.

Xie Xiaozhou unconsciously slowed down his breathing.

What's going on here?

Because the godfather has always used pain to restrain his instincts, so when he saw this scene, Xie Xiaozhou thought that the godfather did it himself.

"It's not me." The godfather's hoarse voice echoed in the corridor, as if answering Xie Xiaozhou's question, "I promise you, I won't hurt myself again."

Xie Xiaozhou was taken aback.

He didn't say that to the godfather.

Could it be that……

Xie Xiaozhou hesitated and said, "Do you still remember?"

The godfather let the blood flow from the wound, as if he didn't feel any pain: "Of course."

Under the checks and balances of the rules, the angel cannot take the initiative to hurt the guests, so he came up with an idea to send Xie Xiaozhou back to the past time point, and let the unrestricted angel in the past kill him.

Time is thus warped.

What Xie Xiaozhou did in the past will affect the present.

The angel thought that Xie Xiaozhou was like a drop of water in the waves, unable to stir up any waves, but unexpectedly, he had the ability to change the ending.

And when the godfather set the messed up timeline back, the memories of the past merged with the present, of course he still remembered everything that happened.

Perhaps, what should have happened has changed, and some changes have taken place in the godfather.

Xie Xiaozhou was inexplicably embarrassed: "Yes, is it?" He changed the subject, "Why is the angel missing?"

The godfather said flatly, "Run away."

The result of the bet has come out, he should take the angel's life, but the angel broke the contract.

This is against the rules and is not allowed by the godfather.

The godfather should have punished him, but now, he has more important things to do.

Xie Xiaozhou: "Why did you run away..."

Just as he was speaking, the godfather raised his hand and flattened it in front of Xie Xiaozhou.

Xie Xiaozhou glanced at it, and saw a long and narrow wound in the godfather's palm, and the bright red blood gushed out, flowed down the wrist, and trickled into the sleeve.

The godfather didn't speak, just watched him quietly.

Xie Xiaozhou felt a little weird: "Are you in pain...?"

The godfather seemed to be waiting for this question. Before the words fell, he heard him say in a low voice: "It hurts."

Xie Xiaozhou: ...

He couldn't help but glanced at the godfather.

The godfather's face was as usual, he didn't even frown, and there was no pain at all.

If it weren't for Xie Xiaozhou and the godfather who were the only two people in this corridor, I'm afraid they would have thought it was someone else who said it.

Xie Xiaozhou had no choice but to take the godfather's hand, help him carefully bandage the wound, and wipe off the blood one by one.

[Why do I feel that the godfather has changed? 】

[It used to be restraint and abstinence, but now it's... Mensao? 】

[Could it be that Zhou Zhou changed the little godfather, and also changed the godfather? 】

[Go back to the past to save you, what kind of touching love story is this, I declare that the angel is the strongest matchmaker this year! 】

The godfather's hands are beautiful.

The fingers are long and slender, with well-defined knuckles, and each nail is neatly trimmed without any abruptness.

Xie Xiaozhou wiped the blood on it with a white veil. From fingertips to wrists, black patterns appeared under the pale skin visible to the naked eye, looking evil and beautiful.

Xie Xiaozhou had also seen this pattern on the body of the little godfather.

He was absent-minded for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he had already expressed the question in his heart: "What happened to him after I disappeared?"

The godfather said slowly: "He is waiting for you to come back."

Fortunately, he waited.

The person who had stood by his side and never abandoned him had returned.

All along, the murderous intent lingering in the godfather's heart disappeared, replaced by more profound emotions.

Strange and turbulent.

The godfather didn't know how to tell.

Such emotions are also not allowed to exist, but this time, the godfather may no longer need to restrain himself.

The godfather lowered his eyelids, and a cluster of crimson fireworks burst out of his pupils.

After Xie Xiaozhou bandaged the wound, he sat on the sofa face to face with his godfather, not daring to speak.

For some reason, he dared to tempt the godfather to do such and such things before.But when he came back from the past time, he seemed to wake up from a certain emotion.

Xie Xiaozhou: I don't have that worldly desire.jpg

Xie Xiaozhou didn't speak, and the godfather didn't intend to speak.There was a thick book on his lap, and he was carefully reading the words on it.

But as long as you observe carefully, you can find that the book has not been turned over for a long time.Obviously absent-minded.

No one spoke, Xie Xiaozhou gradually felt that his eyelids were a little heavy.

It was only three days since he went back to the past, but he had already experienced many things.

Shrinking and shrinking, meeting the little godfather, avoiding the chase... and finally returning to the present again.The spirit was tense before, but now it is relaxed, and tiredness surges up.

He pinched himself, trying not to fall asleep, but it was in vain, and finally he leaned his head on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.

In a daze, Xie Xiaozhou noticed a person approaching, and said vaguely: "Let me sleep for a while..."

I don't know if that person heard it, and he didn't respond, but a warm thing leaned over.

Xie Xiaozhou hugged the heat source subconsciously.

In a trance, he felt that this scene seemed to have been experienced before.

Only this time, the heat source stayed in his arms obediently, without struggling, but moved closer.

The godfather stretched out his hand, embraced Xie Xiaozhou into his arms, let him lean on his broad shoulders, and walked slowly into the darkness.

***

clang--

The clock tower is dedicated to its duties, and whenever the hour is on, a bell will ring.

Xie Xiaozhou struggled to open his eyes, rubbed them, and found himself lying on a bed.He froze for a moment and sat up.

Lifting the quilt, one could see a sunken mark beside him, apparently another person was still asleep.

Xie Xiaozhou reached out and touched it, there was still warmth on it, it should not be long after he left.He got out of bed and called softly, "Godfather?"

No one responded.

Xie Xiaozhou pushed open the door and went out, and came to the room with a fireplace.He looked around, but couldn't find the figure of the godfather, but saw a "cracking" sound coming from the window.

A face protruded from the gap in the window, and said a little excitedly, "I knew you were here."

Xie Xiaozhou recognized it as a girl with short hair.

All the guests were lost in the level of greed, and now only Xie Xiaozhou and the short-haired girl survived.

The short-haired girl said: "Come out quickly, I know where the key to get out is!"

The condition for completing the filming is to escape from the orphanage.

And now, it is the last day of filming. If they can't leave the orphanage before the end of today, then what awaits them is to be trapped here forever.

Whether it is the little godfather or the godfather, for Xie Xiaozhou, the most important thing is to get out of this underworld show.

Because the godfather was not there, Xie Xiaozhou could go in and out without hindrance. After nodding to the short-haired girl, he quickly left the room.

As he passed the corridor, he looked at the framed pictures hanging on the wall.

There are seven paintings on the walls.

Now six paintings have been filled, and the last one remains, which is still empty.

That represents "lust".

As soon as Xie Xiaozhou left the corridor, a short-haired girl came up to him.

The short-haired girl said as she walked: "After returning to the present, I went to the room of the former nun and nun, and found a box in her room, which contained the key to the door." She took a breath, "It's just that other keys are needed to open the box."

Xie Xiaozhou: Open the box with the key, and the key is inside the box, just like nesting dolls.

The short-haired girl said, "Come on."

The two hurried through the dilapidated flower garden and came to the room of the nuns.

Pushing open the old door, a burst of dust floated up.

Xie Xiaozhou reached out and waved away the dust in front of him, and looked over.

There is a translucent box in the center of the room, with a bright golden light flowing on it, and a brass key can be vaguely seen floating inside.

Xie Xiaozhou walked up and found a row of keyholes on the box, so he couldn't help asking: "Where are the keys?"

The short-haired woman took out a key: "I tried it, and this key is about to match a keyhole."

That is the key obtained by passing the "greedy" level.

The short-haired woman inserted the key into one of the keyholes, turned it, and made a "click", which meant that the key matched the lockhole.

Xie Xiaozhou also had a few keys on him, which were obtained by passing the test of the seven deadly sins, and tried them one by one according to the short-haired girl's actions.

There are a total of six keys on the two people, but there are seven keyholes in the box, which is one less.

The short-haired girl patted the box anxiously: "What should I do?"

Xie Xiaozhou said to himself: "The seven deadly sins."

When the short-haired girl heard these three words, she thought for a while and said, "There is still lust left, but where should we find the secret room of lust now? And..."

And how should lust be cleared?

The short-haired girl seemed to think of some strange pictures, and her face changed again and again.

Xie Xiaozhou recalled something, and his expression became a little dignified.

The hurdle of lust should have fallen on him.

Those reckless actions towards the godfather, those thoughts that arise for no reason, all come from lust.

However, after going back to the past, he has resisted lust, and there is no such worldly desire in his heart, why hasn't the last key appeared yet?

Xie Xiaozhou was puzzled.

The short-haired girl looked at the clock tower from time to time: "There is not much time left."

There are fourteen hours left until the end of today.

[There is not much time left for the guests, everyone guess, whether Zhou Zhou can successfully complete the filming, buy it and leave]

[I think so! 】

[Everyone is an old audience and knows that Zhou Zhou is unlikely to overturn]

【I'm just curious, what will the final test of the Seven Deadly Sins be like? 】

【Are you teaching your father to play by yourself? I'm looking forward to it】

[By the way, where is the godfather now? 】

The Godfather is now hunting down the angels.

The angel's ability is average, but it is better than the tenacious vitality like a cockroach, and it can't be killed no matter what.Every time he was on the verge of death, he narrowly escaped death.

According to the bet, the angel has already lost his life to the devil, but now it does not recognize this result.I don't believe that Xie Xiaozhou really has a heart as bright as a diamond.

"Impossible, it is impossible to have such a human being."

"Humans are inherently inferior, I don't believe—"

The godfather bent his fingers and crushed the angel's wings indifferently: "I am willing to bet and admit defeat. This is the rule, and you should abide by it."

The angel looked very embarrassed now, every time he took a step, a pool of golden blood fell on the ground.But it's still running away.

He was still clamoring: "Do you think you are so noble? Even if you win, you are still a devil! You will never control the evil in your heart!"

"I can see that you can't restrain your inner instinct anymore, you want to..."

If it was normal, the godfather might still be shaken by this, but now his voice is unwavering: "Angels and demons are no different, what do you think—what do you look like now?"

The angel saw a miserable and embarrassed self in the eyes of the godfather, which was completely opposite to the bright and righteous that he usually flaunted.

"You will never kill me..." Even so, the angel still struggled to say, "How can a demon kill an angel?"

"You can't kill me, I want to destroy the thing you care about most..."

Hearing this, the eyes of the godfather, who had been calm and self-retaining, changed slightly.

This is instinctive and uncontrollable.

The angel noticed the change in the godfather's mood: "You are still depraved. No matter how you restrain yourself, you are still guilty, and this sin cannot be eliminated or forgiven!"

The godfather's mind moved, and the angel took advantage of this opportunity to escape from the godfather's control, turned into a bright holy light, and rushed towards one of the directions.

Now that the bet is over, the constraints on both parties no longer exist.Then... it doesn't have to keep that human being anymore.

It wants to destroy that human being, watching the demon lose his composure, watching him fall into the abyss, controlled by instinct, and unable to break free forever!
