Prologue The Battle of the Rock(1/4)

The light is flickering, and Cheng Mo's shadow flickers on the gray wall, like a candle swaying in the wind. The sharp alarm sound issued by the "Protector" is like the unstoppable blessing on a birthday card, which keeps on

Haunting in the small room.

Feeling that only a small part of the last chrysanthemum-shaped alloy lock was left, Cheng Mo was focused on nothing else. He tensed his muscles and nerves and concentrated all his energy on speeding up. As a result, the speed at which the "Seven Sins Sect" was destroyed began to accelerate.

The house is like a train speeding out of a culvert.

With a "click", the last chrysanthemum-shaped alloy lock was finally cut off, and the "Guardian" seemed to have given up struggling, as if it was drowning, and whimpered a few times, and the sound became smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared.

Cheng Mo stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Xishi and asked: "You won't be able to crack it violently. Will there be a bomb exploding inside?"

Xishi hesitated and said, "There shouldn't be such a sinister and boring setting, right?"

Cheng Mo motioned to Xishi to push open the alloy cover, and he retreated to Athena's side, "just in case."

Xishi smiled and said, "It's a good thing to be cautious."

Her hands shone with blue electromagnetic light. Before Cheng Mo could say anything to stop it, the electromagnetic light hit the alloy cover. The heavy cover bounced up and spun several times in the air like a top.

It fell on the "Guardian" belonging to Rima nearby. Amidst the unpleasant friction sounds and the sound of parts falling to the ground, the RV shook left and right several times before gradually stabilizing.

"Are you too violent? Do you have anything to do with me..." Before Cheng Mo could finish his words, he smelled a stench. He had to hold his breath, but even so, there was a stench.

The strong smell penetrated his nostrils, like opening a hundred herring cans at the same time. However, Cheng Mo didn't even frown. He had expected this. In fact, the smell was far less unbearable than he imagined.

As a carrier, Xishi probably had her olfactory system turned off and had no reaction at all. At this time, she was staring down at the Demon God Shax in "Guardian" in trance, with complicated eyes as if she was remembering something. This was a bit surprising to Cheng Mo.

As expected, the "holy robe" was right in front of her, but there was not much joy on her face, but instead there was an unspeakable sadness.

Cheng Mo covered his mouth and nose and walked to the "Guardian" in the middle, looking at Demon God Shax who had been dead for a long time. Probably because he was in a near vacuum environment, Demon God Shax's body had not completely decomposed.

Instead, it turned into a mummy. The bones and muscles wrapped under the black velvet nightgown were quite clear, looking like smoked game. His left and right hands were crossed on his chest, holding them tightly.

A golden fish-face mask, and an old-style "Panerai" watch on his left wrist. It looked like a mummy that had died and been placed in a coffin.

However, his expression was very strange. His eyes and mouth were wide open, as if he was frightened, but the corners of his mouth were raised upward, as if he was smiling...

"Is it really scary?" Cheng Mo picked up the plastic gloves on the side and put them on, grabbed Shax's left hand like firewood, untied the brown leather watch strap, and took off the old Panerai.

I turned the watch over and took a look. On the back was engraved the image of the Virgin Mary, and a circle of "The compassion of the Virgin" in English.

Even if he knew that "Mother's Mercy" was full of good things, Cheng Mo was not very excited. Neither he nor Athena could use the "Angel System" skills. The "Eternal Spear" was also a very powerful holy weapon.

But neither he nor Athena had any plans to change weapons. The most useful one was the "Holy Robe", but it was a pity that the "Holy Robe" was promised to Xishi.

Xi Shi didn't seem to be as excited as Cheng Mo imagined. She just glanced at the "Mother of Mercy" and said with regret: "It's all your fault for not respecting the old and caring for the young. After all, you are a hundred and twenty-six years old.

, who can withstand such stimulation, he usually doesn’t even dare to use the carrier to ‘bang bang bang’, because he is afraid that being too excited will cause his body to die suddenly... You still scare him like this..."

"I have been fighting with all my heart for a month and a half, and I almost died before. I am all working for you. In the end, you still blame me for not respecting the elderly and caring for the young?" Cheng Mo shook his head and said angrily,

"It seems that I really killed the workers..."

"Corporate slave?" Xishi looked at the "Panerai" in Cheng Mo's hand, rolled his eyes and said, "You stingy man, using a terribly ugly 'holy robe' in exchange for a beautiful, sexy

, gentle, considerate, and capable secretary, what are you dissatisfied with?"

"Don't, don't, I can't use any of your beauty, sexiness, gentleness, and thoughtfulness, and I can't enjoy them. As for whether you can do it or not...I don't know yet." Cheng Mo groaned, "What if

If you don't ask me to pay you a salary every month, then it's still acceptable."

"Oh my God." Xishi looked at Athena standing at the door, "Madam, do you think your man is a vampire capitalist? We agreed that the 'holy robe' was a reward, but now we have to use it."

The holy robe is deducted from wages! I, Xishi, am just a pitiful laborer. Do I have to suck the blood of a beautiful woman so cruelly? Can you be a little gentler, at least let me make a fortune, buy a house, a car, and raise a baby?

A little puppy’s dream…”

"Since he wants to suck your blood, just don't resist." Athena said calmly.

Xishi waved his hands, held his forehead, and said in a pretended despair: "It seems that I really made a wrong decision. You two vampire wives, it seems that you want to eat me whole."

Then I was willing to let go.”

Cheng Mo ignored Xi Shi's false complaints, shook his head and wiped the "Mother of Mercy" clean with a wet tissue, then put it into his coat pocket. What exactly was in it? Someone must inherit this piece of Ouroboros.

Only then can I see it. I have to say that this setting is very troublesome and inhumane, but the setting is like this, and there is nothing Chengmo can do about it.

Facing the strong smell, Cheng Mo leaned forward and pulled out the golden fish face mask from the hands of Demon God Shax. He shook it at Xi Shi twice and asked, "What is the use of this mask?"

"It's not of much use. It's just a status symbol. In order not to reveal his true appearance, each demon god has his own exclusive mask to make it easier to distinguish. For example, if Madam wants to appear as Lord Asmodeus,

, she should wear her 'beauty face' mask. And if she wants to appear as Demon God Byleth, she should wear the horse face mask belonging to Demon God Byleth..." Cheng Mo looked at it subconsciously

He turned to Athena. Athena nodded in approval.

"Most of these masks are cultural relics and have some value, but for a Black Death Demon God, they can truly represent his identity..." Xishi pointed to the chest of Demon God Shax, and on his

On the chest of the black velvet nightgown, there is a silver badge engraved with strange runes. "It's actually a badge. If you get it, you will successfully inherit the position of Shax Demon God. You can pass Shaq

The Black Death mobile phone of Si Demon God can enjoy various benefits and issue orders!"

"No procedures required?" Cheng Mo asked, looking at the silver badge that was slightly larger than the thumb cap.

"As long as the badge is verified and an announcement is made in the system. As long as the Shax Demon himself does not file a complaint within forty-eight hours after the announcement is made, you will legally inherit the position of the Shax Demon. What about Sullivan Company?"

"This is a little more complicated, but you just need to leave it to me, your most beautiful and capable secretary, to help you handle it."

"Secretary? It seems that I haven't agreed to hire you yet."

"Don't use this workplace PUA to lower prices! If you dare not pay wages, be careful..." Xishi said with a sly smile, "Sign a complaint to the boss's wife!"

"Who would dare to ask for a secretary like you who is always ready to report?"

"The boss lady wants it!" Xishi looked at Athena standing at the door with a flattering look, "Master Asmode, do you think so? Please believe me, I will definitely help you get rid of this cunning boss...

...It's hard to watch...I won't let him have the chance to attract bees and butterflies..."

Athena said expressionlessly: "You can't control what he does, and I don't need you to help me keep an eye on him. You have to help him honestly, and I can tolerate your noise. If you dare to betray him, I will

I will definitely chop off your head..."

Athena's murderous words caused the temperature to drop sharply, but Xishi seemed not to hear it and said with a smile: "Boss, you are so lucky...to find such a beautiful and generous person like Lord Asmodeus."

A reasonable wife..."

"Okay, I'm afraid of you." Cheng Mo shook his head and said, "Just tell me how to control Sullivan Company?"

"If I help you master Sullivan, will it count as a successful application?"

Cheng Mo thought about it for a moment, and realized that his trust in Xi Shi was not particularly high, and he was someone he could cooperate with on a limited basis. In fact, Cheng Mo didn't want to keep a bomb like Xi Shi around him. It was too dangerous, but

Xishi was too big for his use now. He thought again and again and said in a deep voice: "Forget it." After a pause, he said seriously, "But I'll say the unpleasant things first, and I will definitely give you the reward."

To your satisfaction, if you don’t want to work anymore, you can leave at any time. I will never stop you and will give you severance pay. But I don’t want you to betray me, except as a last resort..."

"A very sincere condition." Xishi smiled, "I promise that even if I have to betray you as a last resort, I will tell you first..."

"It's a deal."

"It's a deal." Xi Shi raised his hand, and seeing Cheng Mo wearing gloves, he raised his elbow instead.

During the epidemic two years ago, this kind of etiquette was also popular for a while. Doing this with a woman was a bit strange, but Cheng Mo had no way to refuse. He could only reluctantly raise his elbows and put his gloves in front of his nose.

There was another suffocating smell. He quickly touched Xishi's elbows, and Cheng Mo immediately put down his right hand.

Xishi chuckled as if he had succeeded, and then said: "The Devil Shax has no descendants, and the shares of Sullivan Company are in the hands of the Costa Family Foundation. If you want to legally control the Costa Foundation, you only need to forge a suicide note."

, and then let me 'convince' the Queen's Counsel of Shaxx and the head of the Foundation Council that everything is OK..."

"It turns out that it's so quick and convenient to become a demon," Cheng Mo shrugged, "No wonder the Demon God Shax wants to find a guardian..."

"Actually, how much does it have to do with whether he is a demon?" Xishi looked at the fish-face mask in Cheng Mo's hand and said softly: "Ouroboros is the real curse."

Cheng Mo turned around and put the fish face mask aside, bent down and reached out to take off the badge, then found the Black Death cell phone of Demon God Shax, and asked in a low voice: "Besides that, what else is important?

Something?"

"The Black Death mobile phone you have is still of some use, but it's not particularly important." Xishi glanced at the body of Demon God Shax and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do with his body?"

"Of course it's burned."

"I want to build a tomb for him." Xishi said, her tone filled with an indescribable emotion, "I learned a lot from him, and he was not such a bad person."

"Whatever you want." Cheng Mo said noncommittally. He took off his gloves and threw them on the floor, and couldn't wait to walk towards the door. "When I find a suitable person to inherit the 'Mother of Mercy', we can divide the spoils.

"

When Athena jumped out of the RV first, Cheng Mo looked at Athena's graceful back and jumped out too.

There were several queer German female soldiers in the square cleaning up the debris of the RV that was destroyed by Xishi. In the distance, there was the sound of gunshots fired by queer German soldiers for target practice. The sun was very bright at three o'clock in the afternoon, and it penetrated the cracks in the minaret.

A slender light was cast on the ground. I don’t know whether the minaret was built too solidly or whether Xishi’s sword was too fast and sharp. The minaret did not fall down and became a Pisa diagonal.

A towering wonder.

Cheng Mo was very surprised. He first looked at the minaret with empty eyes, then looked at Xi Shi and asked: "Now can we tell you how you entered Sullivan's?"

"If we really want to investigate this, we have to start from the beginning. You want to know about the Battle of the Rock, which is the reason why I entered Sullivan..." Xishi picked up the golden mask in his hand, the one that belonged to Shaq

The fish-faced mask of Si Demon God was shining brightly in the sunlight. Xishi stared at the mask quietly, as if he was admiring the colorful halo blooming in the air, and as if he was interacting with his own reflection on the mask.

Looking at each other, "Actually, this mask originally belonged to my great-grandfather, Count Liendorf von Stauffenberg..."

"It sounds like a wonderful and long story." Cheng Mo said.
To be continued...
