Lin Bai used his grandfather's name to swear, and this was the closest he had ever been to death in his life...
The female devil's small hand was very beautiful, delicate and white. If held, it would surely feel very comfortable. But now, this small hand was suspended above his head, and with just a light tap, Lin Bai's poor little head would surely be split open. Oh, perhaps he wouldn't even have the chance to be split open, but would be directly smashed into the ground, mixed with the soil to become fertilizer for flowers.
He glanced at the female superhero who had been knocked unconscious on the ground, unconscious. She was a superhero, with a body of steel, and even a slap would cause serious injuries. If I were to take that slap, what would happen?
"Quick, are you mocking this king, or do you really intend to become this king's successor?" the female devil asked coldly.
This was not a particularly difficult question. Lin Bai was not a saint, nor was he a hero who could bravely sacrifice himself and never bow to evil forces. He was just a very ordinary little nobody, who had never even walked the path of justice, let alone have any dignity or persistence. How could he possibly be resolute and unwavering?
Lin Bai immediately replied, "Oh, Master, please accept your disciple's bow. You really like to joke. How could your disciple mock you? The post I made yesterday was from the bottom of my heart, sincerely wanting to become the successor of the devil king, to take over your mantle and carry out the evil plan to destroy the world, with a firm stance, never wavering."
"Didn't you say yesterday was April Fool's Day?" the female devil said coldly.
Lin Bai said, "April Fool's Day is a day to mock humans, not a day to mock devils, so it doesn't include the devil race. Yes, I would never mock Master."
The female devil's cold face began to soften, and her seductive and charming smile returned. The deadly hand that had been suspended above Lin Bai's head was now around his neck again, and her voice, which was extremely seductive, sounded like a fox spirit: "Very good... This is how a good disciple of this king should be. I like the way you talk nonsense... Alright, from today on, you are the new devil king, and this king can retire."
Lin Bai was drenched in sweat: "Master, is it really okay to retire so hastily? You should cultivate me to be more mature and teach me more skills before retiring... Or you can continue being the devil king, and I, your disciple, am not ready to accept the title of the new devil king."
The female devil said in a seductive voice, "Oh, what are you afraid of? Although this king has announced retirement, I won't immediately abandon everything. I will live in your house, teaching you evil magic while enjoying a happy second half of my life. By the way, I didn't bring a single cent, so the second half of my life will depend on you, my disciple..."
Lin Bai: "Hey, hey..."
"Alright, this matter is settled." The female devil stretched lazily. "You wouldn't refuse to support your master, would you? Evil is fine, but not too exaggerated... Our devil race also values human emotions and principles..."
Lin Bai pointed to his house, which had turned to ashes: "How am I supposed to support you? I'll have to sleep on the streets from tonight... Why don't we both sleep on the streets? It will definitely make the front page of the news tomorrow. A little nobody sleeping on the street with a devilishly beautiful queen. This will definitely颠覆 everyone's three views..."
The female devil giggled, "Such a small matter, just a little evil magic!" She extended her hand, pointed at the pile of ruins, and recited a short incantation. The strange incantation was in an unknown language, definitely not Chinese, English, Korean, or Japanese. Lin Bai had never heard such a strange language before. A black mist spewed from the female devil's hand, covering an area of several dozen meters. When the black mist dissipated, Lin Bai rubbed his eyes and looked carefully. His house had actually returned!
That's right, it was Lin Bai's familiar house, the tilted sign, the rolled-up shutter, the messy computer parts, the four-legged underwear hanging on the second-floor balcony, the broken tile on the roof... Everything was back to its original state.
"How about that? The devil king's special evil magic, Dark Regeneration." The female devil said with a seductive laugh. "Not only can it restore damaged items, but with deeper practice, it can even resurrect the dead as zombies..."
Lin Bai drew a deep breath. Resurrecting the dead as zombies was something he could do without, but the ability to restore damaged items was quite useful. The only ancestral property he had lost and then regained filled him with joy. He said with a grin, "Master, since you can restore my house to its original state, why not make it even better? Turn it into a modern skyscraper with a hundred floors, and we can live on the top floor, renting out the other ninety-nine floors..."
"There's no such magic!" The female devil laughed. "Don't be greedy." She pointed to a window on the second floor. "That room seems to be empty. From now on, I will live there. The journey was too tiring, and after seeing the post on the forum last night, I finally managed to find your IP address... sigh, I'm not very good with computers, so I was very tired... I flew all night to find you, and I'm exhausted. I'll go to sleep now... When I wake up, I want to see the best breakfast on the table..."
Lin Bai rummaged through his pockets and found 13.5 yuan. With this amount, it seemed impossible to prepare the best breakfast... No, that wasn't the main issue. In the future, he would have to support a devil king, and there were also lunch and dinner to consider.
The female devil swayed her snake-like waist back to the room. From behind, her devilish figure was clearly visible. Her waist was only as thick as a hand, but her buttocks were round and high, and just by looking, one could tell they were extremely elastic. Her walking posture was incredibly seductive, and no model's catwalk could compare to hers. Her long hair, which cascaded over her shoulders, had many wild curls at the ends. Living with such a beautiful woman, if there were no threats to his life, would be a very pleasant thing.
Lin Bai was fantasizing about some blushing and heart-pounding things when the female devil suddenly turned around, pointed at the unconscious female superhero on the ground, and said, "This woman is for you to kill. Killing a righteous superhero will give you a lot of evil power, making it easier to learn evil magic."
As she spoke, she threw a strange knife. The knife was made of green crystal, looking very sci-fi: "This is a crystal knife made from Kryptonite, specifically for killing superheroes. Stab it into her heart, and she will be done for."
"Kill someone?" Lin Bai was drenched in sweat. This... Could this be the legendary "initiation rite," like when Qingmian Shou Yang Zhi wanted to join Liangshan, and Wang Lun asked him to kill someone to prove himself.
Lin Bai felt immense pressure. To save his life, he had agreed to become the devil king's disciple, but he was not a bad person. To kill someone with his own hands, especially a beautiful young woman and a righteous superhero, was a challenge to his worldview and values—assuming he had ever had a worldview.
"How about it, are you unwilling to kill?" The female devil's voice became cold again. "Are you not sincere about becoming this king's successor? Do you know the consequences of mocking an evil devil king?" The cold atmosphere returned, and black smoke rolled across the sky.
Lin Bai used his grandfather's name to swear, and this was the second time in his life he had been so close to death...
He felt his Adam's apple trembling, and his hands were shaking. Taking the knife, stabbing the female superhero, would save his life but not his soul. He would completely fall, and he would never be able to stand tall again... Although in his previous life as a nobody, he had never really stood tall, but... at least he had not fallen.
What should he do to save his life without tarnishing his soul?
"Say, kill or not?" The female devil's cold voice rang out again.
"Kill! Of course, I'll kill!" Lin Bai quickly agreed, but he started to ramble to buy time, "But... Master, you said killing a superhero would give a lot of evil power. What does that mean?"
The female devil snorted, "Evil power is a form of energy. Each time we use evil magic, we consume evil power. For example, when I used 'Dark Regeneration' just now, I consumed a certain amount of evil power, so... I now look much gentler and kinder than before. Didn't you notice?"
Lin Bai cursed inwardly: Who would notice that?
The female devil suddenly said, "Come, take this. It's a tester. You can use it to see how much evil power you have." She waved her hand and threw a watch. It looked like a regular electronic watch with the time still ticking. Lin Bai put on the watch and focused. The time on the LCD screen disappeared, and a few small words appeared: Evil Power 0, Justice Power 0.
He was stunned, and the female devil laughed, "You, most people are inclined towards either evil or justice, but you have 0 points for both. You're truly unique."
Lin Bai thought to himself: I'm just an ordinary little citizen, a nobody, living a life without any waves. I've never had the chance to choose between evil and justice, so of course, I would get 0 points for both. He raised the watch and asked, "So, how do I get evil power?"
"Do bad things! Like robbing, killing, arson... The worse, the better." The female devil said, "Each bad deed you do will give you evil power based on how bad it is. When you accumulate enough evil power, you can use powerful magic to destroy the world... However, if you accidentally do a good deed, your evil power will decrease, and your justice power will increase. To accumulate evil power and learn more evil magic, you must never do good deeds."
Although Lin Bai was buying time, he was also genuinely interested in the question: "So, how bad do I have to be to accumulate enough evil power to destroy the world?"
The female devil said, "The most evil thing in the world is to destroy the world. As long as you can destroy the world, you will gain the most powerful and evil power, and then you can use that power to cast the magic to destroy the world."
Lin Bai was stunned: "So... To cast the magic to destroy the world, I have to destroy the world first?"
The female devil nodded.
Lin Bai put his hand to his forehead and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, thinking: The original devil king who invented this magic must have had his head caught in a door.
