Zhao Kongcheng felt like he was about to explode.
"Me! You're asking who I am? I'm the innocent victim who was deceived by your feelings and was blown by the cold wind for most of the night!"Zhao Kongcheng tightly grabbed Lin Qiye's arm, like a pure-hearted uncle afraid of his boyfriend being taken away. "I'm telling you, don't act like this. You're not getting away today!"Lin Qiye looked at his arm that was firmly locked and gave up struggling, adopting an attitude of surrender."Alright, go ahead, where do you want to talk?""Come with me."Zhao Kongcheng hooked Lin Qiye's arm and strode in the direction of an unknown destination...When Lin Qiye realized they were approaching a couples' hotel, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned to flee!However, Zhao Kongcheng didn't give him that chance. He pulled Lin Qiye back and dragged him toward the hotel."You… What are you planning? I tell you, I have hemorrhoids, don't do anything weird…!""…What's wrong with you? We're just going to a place to chat.""Chat? Do we need to go to a couples' hotel? Do you see the looks people are giving us? I'm about to die of embarrassment!""You don't get it. This is a safe house. I'm bringing you here for no other reason. Besides, do I look like… like that kind of person?!"Zhao Kongcheng rolled his eyes and dragged Lin Qiye to the front desk, throwing an overly greasy flirtatious glance at the clerk."One dynamic passion-themed big bed room, please."Lin Qiye:…The female clerk froze for a moment, her brain briefly malfunctioning, then she suddenly became inexplicably excited!"Okay, okay, sir, I'll need your ID, and for this young… young comrade, I'll need your ID as well."Reluctantly handing over his ID, Lin Qiye looked strangely at the overly excited clerk, not understanding what kind of "gay romance" she had mentally written about…But it wasn't entirely her fault—after all, in the middle of the night, a middle-aged man drags a young man into a couples' hotel for a big bed room, and a dynamic "passion" suite, saying it's just for a chat… who would believe that?!"Here's your room card. The room is 3966. Have a… pleasant stay!" The clerk smiled and looked at Lin Qiye with a "victimized" expression, her eyes almost narrowing into slits.Lin Qiye's fists clenched."Why are you standing there? Let's go up." Zhao Kongcheng dragged Lin Qiye to the elevator.Once inside the room, Lin Qiye, seeing all the strange facilities, realized just how extravagant the rich were…Truly dynamic!Zhao Kongcheng locked the door and then let go of Lin Qiye, walking over to the electric bed and sitting down. His stiff body finally relaxed after a long day."Don't be so nervous. It's really just a chat." Zhao Kongcheng teased, seeing Lin Qiye's face full of vigilance.Lin Qiye sighed and sat down on the couch by the door. "What do you want to talk about?""Of course, I want to talk about you.""Lin Qiye, male, 17 years old, single, 175 cm tall, weight…""You know I'm not talking about that." Zhao Kongcheng rubbed his forehead, pointing at Lin Qiye's eyes. "I'm talking about your eyes."Lin Qiye fell silent."Have you seen Michael?"At those words, Lin Qiye's body stiffened, and after hesitating for a moment, he gently nodded.Sure enough, this man in front of him knew a lot, and the forces behind him… were definitely not simple!And from this sentence, Lin Qiye also gleaned an important piece of information: the seraph he had seen ten years ago was actually the famous Archangel Michael.Seeing Lin Qiye nod, Zhao Kongcheng finally relaxed and looked at him with an increasingly fiery gaze."Why did He find you? What did He say to you? How much can you use the Forbidden Ruins now?"Zhao Kongcheng's questions came like machine-gun fire. Lin Qiye furrowed his brow and shook his head."You're asking too many questions."Zhao Kongcheng also realized he had gotten a bit out of hand and chuckled awkwardly. "Right, you must have a lot of questions in your mind. Let me start answering them. Ask me whatever you want."Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then looked into Zhao Kongcheng's eyes and asked his first question. "Does that mean… gods from mythology really exist in this world?""They do exist." Zhao Kongcheng didn't hesitate and nodded immediately. "But not all gods exist.""What do you mean?"Zhao Kongcheng began to think, as if deciding where to begin. "What do you think mythology is?"Lin Qiye thought for a moment. "It's the spiritual belief of ancient people? Their fear and imagination of the unknown forces of nature?""You're not wrong." Zhao Kongcheng nodded. "Until a hundred years ago, everyone thought so.""A hundred years ago?""Yes. Before that fog appeared, there had never been any trace of gods in the world." Zhao Kongcheng squinted his eyes. "However, ever since that fog enveloped the Earth, everything… seems to have changed.In September 1922, a year after the fog appeared, a certain fog exploration team from the Great Xia observed a giant dragon slowly flying in the sky above the Maria Trench. This was the first time humanity had observed a mythical creature.After research and examination, that dragon was identified as the Chaos Dragon Leviathan from the Bible, a creature created by God. The discovery of this dragon completely overturned the top leadership's understanding. They realized that, since the appearance of the fog, the world was no longer what it used to be.At the time, the fog had just appeared, and all of Great Xia was in panic. The government hid the results of this exploration to maintain national stability.Leviathan, the Chaos Dragon, was the first mythological creature ever observed by humans, and the Great Xia government assigned it the code 001. As further explorations continued, other mythological creatures were discovered, and they were numbered accordingly.The archangel Michael, whom you saw, was the third mythological creature observed by humans in 1928, code 003.""1928?" Lin Qiye was stunned. "Wasn't that before we had the technology to land on the moon? How did they find the archangel on the moon?""It wasn't us who found Him." Zhao Kongcheng shook his head. "In March 1928, a golden sword beam shot out from the moon, crossing the universe and leveling a volcano in North America. It was then that we realized there was a god on the moon.""North America? What was there?""Later, our exploration team spent a year to reach that volcano, and amidst the ruins, they discovered the 004th mythical creature, sealed in the Divine Ruins…"Zhao Kongcheng paused before continuing, "The Fallen Angel, Lucifer."
