So dark, so cold, so painful.

This feeling is both familiar and strange to him.When you are beaten, you will have this kind of burning pain. If the limb is broken, it will be accompanied by unbearable soreness.In order to escape this pain, he tried all kinds of strange methods, but only more pain and more and more serious weakness approached him.

But he didn't die after all.Lucifer rescued him from the pain, and protected him from those pains again.Is there anyone luckier than yourself?so--

When Sandalphin opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the empty ground and the iron cage bars a little further away.The smell of blood rushed into his nostrils, and it took him a few seconds to recognize the situation.He was locked in a reinforced human cage common in laboratories, with a dull pain in his left arm and no movement.In his sight, he could only see a few pairs of legs and Sariel who was squatting on the ground with a dull gaze.

Sariel met his gaze, but there was no response.Seeing that he remembered what happened before he passed out, Sandalph immediately wrinkled his face.His eyes wandered left and right, but he didn't see Asachel.Does this mean that Asachel at least managed to escape?Hope that guy can calm down and at least pass this on to someone else.Sandalph didn't think that the man in black would come after him specifically, obviously, he was staring at Lucifer or Avatar.

"Are you awake? Lucifer's pet."

A thick voice full of contempt rang out.Sandalphin was silent for a moment, and sat up in the cage clutching his left arm.The cage was so low that he couldn't even sit up straight, and of course he couldn't see the other person's eyes through the cage.But the other side didn't mean to look at him.Sandalphin recalled for a moment and confirmed the identity of the person in front of him: "Beelzebub."

"Hmph. You're calmer than expected, have you been trained by Lucifer?"

"What's your purpose?"

There are footsteps.Beelzebub could also be seen standing up from the gap in the cage.Then there was the sound of a gun being loaded, Sandalphin saw a gun barrel inserted into the gap of the cage and pointed at himself, and a mobile phone was thrown in at the same time.Beelzebub's voice sounded: "It's meaningless to remain silent, Lucifer. Activate the Avatar."

"I reject."

Lucifer's voice came from the phone.Sandalphin's eyes widened, and then he yelled at Beelzebub in a low voice: "You bastard...what are you doing to Lord Lucifer!!!"

"Don't struggle. While your attention is on this beast, those who will be nagging and getting in the way have disappeared. You have no avenues for appeal now. You have passed the test of the judgment bell , innocent and invulnerable. But this is not the case for other enhanced people in Canaan."

"Beelzebub. According to the emergency regulations..."

"Do you really believe that the current regulations can restrain me? Do you think you still have the power over the ethics association? You can try to arrest me, but before that your behavior will be deemed as It's a declaration of war."

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds.

"You don't want to procrastinate. I have enough time to convict all the strengthened people in Canaan except you one by one, and then destroy them all in front of you. Start with the pets you carefully cultivated."

The worst predictions were confirmed.Sandalphin quickly felt the blood pouring into his head, and the wound on his arm started to hurt badly from his anger—this guy, took himself as a hostage... No, he took the whole Canaan as a hostage to threaten Lucifer.Sandalphin grabbed the railing of the cage with his still intact right hand and wanted to struggle, but Beelzebub pulled the trigger without hesitation. After a loud bang, Sandalphin was taken away by the force of the bullet and the cage. They fell to the ground hard together.

"Ugh...!!!"

Beelzebub hit his injured hand on purpose, the pain was not bearable at all, Sandalphine screamed before he could react, and he also saw his hand was directly blown out, the blood flowed from the It gushed out from the cut in the arm and spread all over the ground.Although he quickly bit his lip trying to restrain himself from screaming, Beelzebub had already ordered other people nearby: "Come and take a picture of this beast."

"Lord Lucifer...leave me alone..." Sandalphin suppressed his voice as much as possible, shouted in a calm-sounding tone, while trying to hide his severed hand behind his back.However, the blood all over the cage was really difficult to cover up.Only the sending of the photo sounded.The blood flowed all the way to Sariel's feet, and he seemed to shrink back with some resistance, and squatted to a corner.

"Soon, even the time of execution will be saved, Lucifer." Beelzebub said on the phone.There was silence on the phone. After a long silence that seemed to last for centuries, Lucifer's voice was still as unwavering as before: "Hostages are useless to me. Even if you kill Canaan Everyone, I will not hand over Avatar to you either."

——This answer made Sandalphin dazed a little.

He is not disappointed.Lucifer's answer like this is definitely the most appropriate words on this occasion.In the case of hostages, if they appear to be controlled by others, the final consequences will only be more irreversible.And this time it is the whole world that is placed on the other side of the scale.Lucifer's duty is to protect and promote the happiness of mankind.He would have said that anyway.But this choice means that he must also give up the emotions he has as a human being.

If it goes on like this, the worst result is that only Lucifer is left in Canaan.He couldn't resist, there was no end to it, and he kept guarding that monster like a time bomb all by himself.

But it was hard for that person... It was hard for that person to have his own desires.

"Master Lucifer...Master Lucifer...!" Sandalphin tried his best to hold on to the railing of the cage to prop up his body, and moved his face closer to the phone as much as possible.Beelzebub laughed: "It seems that your pet is heartbroken by your ruthlessness, do you hear that, he is asking for help from you." "—Your choice is right! But, please don't be alone hold on!"

Due to the rapid blood loss, Sandalphin's voice was weak and trembling, and his vision became blurred again, but he had to finish.These words must be conveyed.

"... Please believe me! Only by myself, I will definitely come back to you!!!"

With a loud bang, Sandalphin felt that he was kicked out of the cage together, and after hitting the wall, his eyes were blackened by pain.But there was no sound on the other end of the phone, Beelzebub said coldly: "It's really noisy. Lucifer, I'll give you one day for everyone, if you overtime, kill the next one. You'd better come early—"

"Beep, beep, beep—"

The phone was hung up.Sandalphin curled up to one side and smiled silently, but couldn't hold back and fainted again.

Lucifer sat down on the chair and took a deep breath.

He was sitting on a bench across the square, ready to rush in at any time.But no.no.If he showed even the slightest concern for Sandalphin at this time, he would not dare to imagine what kind of torture Sandalphin would suffer.However, he himself didn't know whether he had been exposed or not.He couldn't even tell whether it was anger or fear that was blanking his mind right now.It was the first time he felt what it was like to be trembling because of emotions. He should have arranged the emergency measures immediately, but he failed to edit the notification email several times, and had to temporarily put down his phone and bury his face in the He took a few deep breaths in the palm of his hand.

The building itself has countless entrances that can be broken into.This situation itself is not difficult to solve - as long as he chooses to suppress Beelzebub and his gang regardless of sacrifice.Beelzebub must have done something to the supporters of Canaan.However, he has not been able to get full support, otherwise the army should have surrounded Canaan by now.However, this does not help the status quo.Reasonable solutions abound, but none of them will keep San Del Fern and the world safe.There was even a time limit for the situation at hand: tomorrow morning—he had to figure out a solution by tomorrow morning.

"Lord Lucifer." A voice temporarily interrupted his desperate thinking.Lucifer straightened up immediately, suppressed his emotions, and asked in a steady tone: "What's the matter?"

It was Gabriel who came, and she held an umbrella on Lucifer's head, and Lucifer noticed that he was sitting in the rain for a long time: "We have successfully ensured Asachel's safety, But because he is in a more emotional state, communication is still difficult for the time being. He asked to have a private conversation with you, do you have time?"

"...I will go to see him. Exactly. Gabriel, let all enhanced people stop their work, including you. Then those who can enter a dormant state will enter a long-term dormant state. The rest will remain concentrated and on standby. Ethics Association Into Canaan, and with hostility. I don't want anyone to be caught by them."

"The Ethics Society? Hmm... I understand. I'll tell the others right away. But... what happened?"

She hesitated for a moment before asking, and then said in a low voice: "I heard Asachel say something happened to San Defen, I really didn't get his location information, you..."

Lucifer couldn't say anything.

Gabriel noticed that his state seemed wrong, so he thought about his words: "If he is taken away by the Ethics Association, do you need us to draft a negotiation letter on Canaan's position for you? Classify his handling as an internal matter, Treat it as an emergency..."

"It's useless. Just do what I said before." Lucifer interrupted her abruptly, but after lowering his head and staring at the white ground hit by the heavy rain for a while, he said softly again: "If there is an emergency, I allow you to fight back and escape. The first priority is your own safety."

"Master Lucifer? But duty..."

"The first priority is your own safety."

Lucifer repeated it, and then walked out from under the umbrella.

It was getting late, but the rain still didn't stop.Lucifer hastily changed into the hospital uniform, and then entered the hospital through the back door.When he came to the door of Lucio's ward, Lucio was on the phone with one hand.Through the protective cover and the door of the ward, his voice was almost inaudible, but Lucifer could still hear him directing Eden's work scheduling.But right now, he waited impolitely for the time for Lucio to end the call. After knocking on the door, he opened the door of the ward, and then pressed the control panel to remove Lucio's isolation shield.

"Lucifer?" Lucio turned his head to look at him in surprise, and then froze for a moment.Perhaps it was some kind of intuition, or Lucifer was no longer able to maintain his basic calm and was exposed, Zonglu Xiou quickly ended the call and pressed the control panel to sit up: "What's wrong? What happened? "

"please help me."

Lucifer never thought that such a blatant plea for help would come from his own mouth.

"The Sandalphin is taken hostage. I know how to deal with this kind of situation. But I don't know how to save the Sandalphin. What should I do?"

Lucio's eyes widened slightly, and he became serious after a while: "Explain in detail."

----------------

When Sandalph woke up from a drowsy state, she saw Sariel squatting near her cage, staring at the ground in an extremely distorted posture and a rather abnormal expression.There was no other person's breath around, but his arm was just tied up hastily, and there was no other treatment, even the blood loss.He can't even move a finger now, even if he is a strengthened person, it is probably difficult to break through the cage in this situation.But he had to find a way to escape—then the breakthrough was obviously on Sariel over there.

However, he is not familiar with Sariel.All he knew was that this person was Belial's accomplice.Even looking at the current situation, there is a high possibility that he was deceived by Beryl.But there was no choice, Sandalphin moved himself to the edge of the cage as much as possible, and softly called: "Sariel."

"...Ah, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

Sariel did cast a look, but there was obviously some kind of distortion.As if he couldn't understand Sandalphin's words, he uttered a series of meaningless syllables, and didn't know whether to respond.Sandalphin continued to ask, "What's wrong with you?"

"Ugh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?"

Almost like a broken machine.Sandalph has a headache.He doesn't have much time, and he doesn't know when other people will come back, so he can only forcefully continue the communication: "I hope you can let me out. I will meet your requirements as a price. Any item, any life Yes. If you want to be free, I have someone I can turn to, so..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

Sariel held her head and shook it repeatedly.Isn't he crazy?Sandalphin faintly felt worried, if this was the case, the possibility of dialogue was almost cut off.This situation is very likely to happen, obviously Beelzebub is not stupid enough to leave a loophole here.But it's too long to wait for recovery, at least get him here, and then check if there is anything usable on him.Thinking of this, Sandalphin continued to speak hard: "Sariel, come here, in exchange, I will tell you about Belial's situation, you want to know his whereabouts?"

"Bay, Belial...Bey, Beibeibabebabe..." Sariel paused for a moment, and actually had a slight reaction to Belial's name, although it soon turned into nothing. List of syllables with meaning.Sandalphin shook his head and reached out to grab the corner of his clothes: "Yes, Belial's information, what do you want to know? Come here a little more—"

"Ah, woo, Beryl, assistant officer -- ah --" However, Sariel suddenly made a fuss, and rushed to the side, and Sandalphine, who was holding onto the hem of his clothes, was taken by him , hit his head on the railing, his left arm was dragged, the pain caused him to subconsciously let go, and he felt dizzy again.And when he regained consciousness again, Sariel had shrunk far away in another corner, huddled together muttering words.Sandalphin punched the ground irritably.

Anyway, if he won't die, why don't he just break some of his limbs and find a way to squeeze them out?But too narrow.The railing was only big enough for Sandalphin to stretch out his forearm.It would be convenient if I also have a so-called core, but what beats in my body is a genuine heart.Is there any way... If there is any way...

He struggled to grab the ground, enduring waves of severe pain from the wound, trying to rub the cage out.Then as he was trying in vain, he suddenly heard a voice: "Tsk tsk, Sandy, this is really miserable."

who? !

Sandalphin raised his head suddenly, and then fell back heavily due to the strong dizziness, and then he saw Belial squatting in front of the cage with a smile on his face.

"How about it." He dragged out his tone, making a seductive voice like a demon: "Do you want me to take you out?"

"Belil...!"

"That being said, I'm not here to pick you up today. You can see me, which means you're almost at the end of the day. Sandy, you're very, very weak right now? The kind of weakness that's about to die. You I really should see what you look like now, why, have you been beaten up by Babusang?"

Bellier's condition is not normal.Sandalphin found out after staring at him for a while.There are no shadows under this guy's feet.Not only that, but his whole person is different from this dim room. He seems to be standing in the sunlight, with a clear outline and a mocking smile.Sandalph didn't answer, and he didn't expect Sandalphin to answer. He just stood up and walked to Sally's side: "Sally, you are still alive."

Sariel is still the same as before, in a half-crazy state.Does this Belial really exist?Or did he enter a strange dream again?No, what happened to Sariel?When he was full of doubts, Beryl bent down and didn't know what he did to Sariel. After a series of rustling noises, Sandalphine watched in amazement as Beryl got up from Sariel's body. Another Sariel who was covered in bruises.

"Ah—ah. Really, after being concretized, it hurts like this. Babusang is really rough, and such rough love is not popular now. But forget it, the end days are coming anyway." Bei Lear hugged Sariel's face and muttered while checking his status.Sandalph couldn't help asking: "What's the matter with you?! Why do Sariel have two? What is the end?"

"Hoo~ Sandy, if you're curious, why don't you come with me? You have tickets, so it would be great to come here early."

He talked about tickets, but Sandalphin had a clue.Another space—the one Lucio mentioned.Information he acquired at the cost of an arm.But Lucifer and Belial both exist in that space, and for some reason, I seem to be able to enter such a space. In this way... Sandalph turned around suddenly, and was shocked to find that although he was still In the cage, but he looked down at his own body.

Beryl snorted and laughed: "I finally found it."

Sandalphin stared at his body in astonishment, and then realized what Beryl meant by being weak.Blood.It's all blood.How could so much blood flow out of his own body.Half of his left arm was lost in a tragic way, and other than that, there were marks of beatings all over his body.Half-dried blood showed how the cage had been dragged all the way here and left there.Belial supported Sariel and asked, "How about it, do you want to come over?"

That was clearly an invitation too dangerous.

Belial added with a smile: "How long can the body last? It will be played into tatters soon, right? If the consciousness is not copied to the core in advance, you will never be able to wake up when the heart stops beating completely. I'm here to save you~Sandy."

"I have nothing to say to you." Sandalphin quickly refused, and Beryl seemed to really have no intention of talking to him, just let out a pitiful chuckle, and then helped Sariel to walk out of the room .

There were more than one footsteps.Sandalph was stunned for a moment, and then watched countless figures emerge from the darkness behind him, following Belial, and marching towards another darkness.

"These people..." Sandalphin recognized their faces, and was shocked to see that several of them had seen it in the detention room.But he couldn't hold back these people, and he couldn't keep up.

"Ah, that's right. Sandy, although I really want to read your jokes slowly, unfortunately I'm in a hurry." Before he disappeared, Beryl turned around and said to Sandalphin with a half-smile : "You don't seem to have time to worry about yourself, but you might as well look at yourself."

Sandalphin frowned and lowered his head to check his status, then he suddenly realized something, a strange feeling suddenly spread in his heart.Close to fear, but more like a kind of nothingness.He didn't care about it just now, because his attention had been on something other than himself.Belial whispered: "I hope your ego hasn't melted before I take you back and train you well."

"Belil...Belil! What did you do! What's going on! Beryl!"

He has no limbs, no body.See without eyes, hear without ears, speak without mouth.Where does a person like Sandalphin exist?He and everything around him suddenly became ambiguous. He just felt that he was in a cage, but now there is no him in the cage—only his unconscious body.Where are you?What happened to me?ghost?dreaming?Or, have you reached the critical moment when your consciousness disappears?so dark.so cold.it hurts.No, this is not my feeling, what's going on here?

A sense of panic as if melting invaded him, and he tried desperately to convince himself that he was in the body that fell over there, but this overlooking perspective really couldn't fool him.No, no, no, if this continues, there will be no way to return to Lord Lucifer——

Sandalph woke up suddenly.

right.It doesn't matter what I become, since that adult is still there, so I should help him.He could clearly recall every detail of Lucifer, the look of his eyebrows, his solid body, and his gentle and powerful aura.Thinking about it, instead, it was Lucifer who appeared in front of his eyes, and slowly stretched out his hand to him.

Sandalph ran over staggeringly and hugged him.

himself in his arms.It doesn't need to and won't be anywhere else.Although he still couldn't feel his body, this Lucifer, who was probably a phantom, held his hand, so he was here.Sandalph firmly believed so.When he looked up again, everything in front of him had changed.It was no longer the dim room, and Sariel, who was lying in the corner, was gone.But he could still see the faint outlines of buildings, outlining the path for him.

This is the space of consciousness, right...?

He took Lucifer's hand, recalled it for a moment, and then walked in one direction.He remembered that Lucio still stored some blank cores, if they could be transferred out, it wouldn't matter even if he gave up his original body.All that remains is how to convey it to Lord Lucifer.But can it really be so successful?He was still vaguely worried.

However, the "Lucifer" in his consciousness held his hand tightly.Sandalph froze for a moment, then nodded as if reassured.Belial left him alone, which was good news for him.But seeing that Belial took the others away, he must have a plan.Be sure to go back before Belial's goal is achieved.He took a step.

In a certain laboratory, a translucent core soaked in a petri dish began to gradually emit a faint red light.

The next morning, the rain that had been raining all day finally stopped.Canaan was shrouded in mist after the water vapor evaporated.

Lucio put on the gloves with a snap, then took Lucifer's ID card and pinned it to himself.His arm was still a little stiff, but Lucifer came over and gave him an injection with a needle: "I'm sorry, I have to trouble you to do such a thing now..."

"Our ultimate purpose is the same. You don't need to apologize. Just follow the plan. But...you know."

After the injection was over, Lucio put on the same coat as Lucifer, and they looked at each other as if they were looking in a mirror.Lucio frowned: "If I have to choose one of the two, I will choose to give up Sandalphin."

"I know. Rescuing him is beyond the scope of your duties. You are willing to help, and I already want to thank you."

Lucio smiled slightly: "It's obviously not the case. If something happens to Xiaosheng, you will obviously be in pain. Emotions will hinder your function and make you unable to continue to function. I want to avoid this from happening as much as possible, This is also good for world peace."

"I……"

"This is not your initial state. I know that Lucifer will not design such a defect for you. But this is a good thing, Lucifer. I think it is a good thing."

He reached out and patted Lucifer on the shoulder, then turned around and went out the door: "You are in the process of evolving, and eventually you will become a complete human being. I am looking forward to that day."
