The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins-Chapter 152: Feel the Benevolence of My Lord

Ishida Youji: "...…"

Primordial Sin??!

What's that?

Doesn't sound like a good thing…

With a slight frown, though already very impatient, Ishida Youji still pretended to look interested, patiently listening to Fang Guangzhong's "preaching".

Until… Fang Guangzhong cautiously took out a gold coin and presented it before him.

In an instant, his face's professional fake smile gradually disappeared, and Ishida Youji stared dumbfounded at the splendid gold coin, an uncontrollable intense greed surging in his heart.

"This is my Lord's beacon."

"Pray to Him, you can gain redemption, eternal life, and... everything!"

"Take it, feel my Lord's compassion…"

Sinister whispers echoed in his ears, like the seductive murmurs of a demon. Ishida Youji slowly extended his trembling hands, clutching the [greed coin] tightly in his palm, as if he wanted to embed it into his very bones!

......

"Eh?!"

Just about to lay down a long line to reel in the fish, Zhu Haomiao looked up towards the distance, covering his mouth in bewilderment.

Emmmm…

Can he absorb the [greed coin] without my guidance?

What Innate Greed Holy Body!

Pursing his lips, Zhu Haomiao stood up and followed the barely traceable thread of belief towards an ordinary residence in the suburbs of Shanghai.

Meanwhile, a few kilometers away, Ishida Youji was panting heavily, his whole body trembling.

Just now, as he toyed with the coin, he actually resonated with it in some sort of bloodline connection!

Then, the coin melted into a strange black viscous liquid, instantly seeping into his skin and merging with his flesh!

Deep within his pupils, a twisted black light flickered unpredictably, and Ishida Youji's face was contorted with veins, suffering yet experiencing an indescribable pleasurable joy!

He didn't know what had happened, but in a daze, he seemed to hear a mysterious call.

Buzz~

Suddenly, he seemed to really hear a crisp swooshing sound, and looking up, a splendid gold coin was suspended above his head.

The gold coin, so close, appeared to have a majestic and mysterious pyramid emanating a visibly seven-colored divine light!

In the unseen, it seemed some great existence answered his prayer, sending the holy object he most desired!

Reaching out trembling, Ishida Youji wanted to grasp that gold coin, but despairingly realized that no matter how he tiptoed or jumped, he could not reach that great holy object.

In a flash of insight, Ishida Youji realized that it wasn't something he could grasp by striving for it!

He had to kneel, prostrate himself on the ground, and pray for the creator's mercy to receive the "gift".

But vaguely, Ishida Youji also sensed that once he knelt beneath the coin, he would lose something, something very precious!

Humanity? Dignity? Health? Life? Even… everything?

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but the desire churning in his heart grew more frantic under the coin's radiance.

Suffering like a drug addiction gnawed at his heart like thousands of ants, every breath accompanied by excruciating agony penetrating deep into his bones, instinct at the genetic level urged him to abandon everything for that coin!

Even if in the next second after obtaining it, he would die!

Because that was the meaning of his existence!

Huff~

Huff~

Huff~

Amidst harsh breathing, the black light in Ishida Youji's eyes twisted and flickered, cold sweat streaming down, his fist clenched white, his straight back gradually stooping, and his knees slowly bending.

Finally, the moment his knees touched the ground, the coin suspended above his head gently fell into his palm, melting into a viscous liquid like crude oil, seeping bit by bit into his skin and turning into a little black snake that burrowed towards his heart along his blood vessels.

But paying no attention to this eerie anomaly, the twisting agony of his spirit and body instantly dissipated, replaced by unparalleled joy and happiness!

Ishida Youji rolled his eyes, like a high addict, showing a ferocious and twisted eerie smile.

And half a meter in front of him, Zhu Haomiao looked down at him with his impressive performance, pressing his lips in an indescribable manner.

It's getting more eerie…

How am I supposed to explain that I'm actually a good person?!

Rubbing his chin, Zhu Haomiao thought for a long time and finally painfully realized…

It seems hard to explain!

This crazy little expression indeed challenges the aesthetic baseline of humans…

Seeing Ishida Youji's grotesquely contorted smile, and the rippling blue veins twitching across his face like little snakes, Zhu Haomiao gave up on struggling, sighing long and heavily.

"Ah… misunderstood is misunderstood, though my methods are eerie, I know I'm a good boy!"

Having reaffirmed his [Dao Heart], Zhu Haomiao quietly waited for Ishida Youji to return to calm.

A few minutes later, the grotesque anomaly on Ishida Youji's face gradually faded, and he regained a composed demeanor.

He enthusiastically gazed at the abruptly appearing dark-robed youth in front of him, the black light in his pupils flickering and pulsing like a fiery tongue, seemingly reflecting a twisted, burning dark sun!

"Get up, tomorrow accompany me to meet someone."

"Yes! My lord!"

......

Xinghua House

In the private room, Zhu Haomiao ate elegantly at a leisurely pace, occasionally using a handkerchief to wipe the oil off Diao Chan who was eating messily.

"Slow down! No one's competing with you!"

"Squeak~"

Fortunately, this guy's fur seems to have an extraordinary attribute, no matter what dirt won't stick, a gentle shake and it naturally falls off, always remaining a clean, soft, and fragrant appearance.

Otherwise, bathing it every day would be a hassle…

Just as the youth was absent-mindedly stroking the marten, a handsome and sturdy figure entered the private room, looked around, and directly sat next to him.

"Is this your pet?"

Seeing the eye-catching cute creature sitting on the table gnawing on a bone, even Feng Zhaobai couldn't help but feel affection, wanting to reach out and touch it.

But seeing a big hand approaching, Diao Chan's ears perked up, vigilantly moving the bone to the other side, protecting it behind.

"Squeak!"

"...…"

Grinning with resignation, Feng Zhaobai gave up the idea of petting it.

"The little thing is quite protective of its food."

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao irritably rubbed the marten's head and shoved this embarrassing creature aside.

Who's going to snatch that one tasteless bone of yours!!

"By the way, Junior Brother Zhu, why did you call me out so mysteriously, what is it about?"

After a brief chat, Feng Zhaobai got straight to the point.

"Mainly I want you to meet someone, I don't know how to handle it, just killing feels like a waste."

Under Feng Zhaobai's curious gaze, Zhu Haomiao had a thought, and Ishida Youji, who had remained concealed next door, opened the door, respectfully stepping into the private room, bowing to the two seated there.
