Chapter 158 Look, a Scumbag!

Time is the movement of matter. When matter does not move, time loses its meaning.

I don’t know how long I have been drifting in the darkness. When Lou Bai was about to feel irritated, he suddenly felt a familiar feeling coming towards his body - it was a feeling that made people understand what "down" means again.

After feeling the gravity, the dark scenery in front of him began to change. Gradually, the same black, but with different light and dark blocks. These blocks of color kept changing in Lou Bai's eyes, and soon turned into mottled tree shadows, deep blue night sky and scarlet moon.

Next, hearing and touch followed the return of vision. Lou Bai seemed to feel a pair of warm hands pushing his body, and Xiao Lan's somewhat anxious shouting sounded beside him: "Master, wake up, wake up quickly!"

"I heard it, don't worry, don't worry."

Lou Bai supported himself on the cold ground with his hands, climbed up from the dry leaves, looked at Xiao Lan who had been reunited after a long time, and greeted him happily: "Xiao Lan, long time no see."

"Ah, Master, long time no see... No, now is not the time to talk about this!"

Xiao Lan responded subconsciously, but then thought of something, suddenly slapped his head, and said anxiously: "Master, let's get out of here quickly, Xiao Lan, I feel something bad is in the depths of the forest!"

Hearing Xiao Lan's words, Lou Bai looked around quickly but not hurriedly.

This is a seemingly ordinary forest. The trees are common deciduous trees, and the spacing between them is not as dense as in the deep mountains and old forests. There are some flowers and plants growing on the ground, which looks like a small forest in a random park on the side of the road.

Of course, if we want to come to this conclusion, we have to exclude one thing - the blood-red moonlight in the sky.

Under the scarlet moonlight, the originally ordinary forest suddenly had a gloomy atmosphere.

"No, it should be said that this atmosphere is in line with my imagination of the underworld." Lou Bai stretched out his hand to hold the panicked Xiao Lan, and said to himself: "After all, it is the underworld, the atmosphere should be a little darker?"

Although he complained like this, Lou Bai did not take it lightly, but held Xiao Lan's hand and walked gently out of the woods.

"How about it, Xiao Lan, can you sense what that terrifying thing is?"

Xiao Lan nodded, and soon shook his head again, saying uncertainly: "Hmm... It's a very scary thing, and the breath is very similar to the [Earthbound God] monster that the master defeated!"

"It's very similar, then it's probably also an [Earthbound God] monster."

Lou Bai's free hand unconsciously touched his chin and muttered in a low voice.

If you want to return to the world, becoming a dark signer is a proven feasible method. However, Lou Bai does not intend to take this path unless it is absolutely necessary.

After all, if you want to become a dark signer, you will inevitably add some of the so-called evil god's power to your soul. Although Lou Bai does not have any mysophobia, he does not want others to touch his private parts.

"This forest should be the projection range of the evil god's power... After walking for a long time, I suddenly feel a little creepy."

Carefully bypassing a raised tree root, Lou Bai touched the exposed skin with some hair. I don't know if it's the wind or something else, he always feels that this forest seems to be gradually "alive".

"I hope not to waste precious energy in this place... Who? Come out!"

While walking, Lou Bai suddenly stopped and pulled Xiao Lan behind him. The other hand held the RPG transformed by the system, the muzzle was pointed directly at a bunch of bushes, and looked at that direction vigilantly.

"Master, master, what happened!"

Xiao Lan, who was startled by Lou Bai's behavior, carefully poked half of his head out from behind Lou Bai and asked anxiously.

Ignoring Xiao Lan, the muzzle of the gun on Lou Bai's shoulder gradually lit up with a dangerous red light, but it was not fired. He said: "I advise you to come out obediently, the unknown guest over there. You don't want me to wake up the sleeping thing inside with this shot, right?"

"Oh my, I've been discovered!"

Accompanied by this sound, the visitor raised a French military salute, and then a hooded green-haired man poked his head out of the bushes.

The visitor was wearing a white robe inlaid with gold edges, but because he was lying in the bushes, a lot of dead branches and leaves had stuck to it.

A thick book with blue gems inlaid in it floated beside him, and the staff necessary for casting spells was tied to his waist like a sword.

"Well, two of you, are you interested in being my..."

"Hey, isn't there more than one dead person here?"

Before the strangely dressed wizard finished speaking, Xiao Lan's innocent words made him lose his composure, and the cautious expression on Lou Bai's face could not be broken.

"That Xiao Lan, I think I can still be saved, don't be so anxious to classify me as a dead person..."

"What dead person, I am the greatest magician in the next 50 years, the creator of summoning magic, the wise Aleister Crowley!"

Two different voices sounded in Xiao Lan's ears one after another. Hearing these words, Xiao Lan asked a little dizzy: "Eh? That... Mr. A Crowley, you are not a dead person, then why did you appear in the underworld?"

"Not A Crowley, but the wise Aleister Crowley!"

Mage, no, Alai waved his hands, corrected Xiaolan's mistake dissatisfiedly, and then raised his mouth and said proudly: "Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you mercifully."

"In order to study the noble summoning magic, to create a precedent in the magic world!"

As he said, Alai drew out his staff, spun it in the air for a circle, and pointed it at Lou Bai: "My wise Lord Aleister Crowley invites you to become my summon!"

"Emm... If you were a big-breasted beautiful girl character, I might think symbolically for one or two seconds." Lou Bai pursed his lips and made a prompt reply: "Look at this mage, ordinary, but confident."

"Well, it really doesn't work like this."

Alai spread his hands helplessly, showing a frustrated expression. But just when Xiaolan showed a guilty look because of this expression, Alai suddenly showed a smile of success on his face: "But, the wise Lord Crowley will not fail!"

Ah, the wild Lou Bai appeared!

What is Lord Crowley going to do?

"Duel!"

Alai leaned on his staff and chuckled, saying, "I want you to be my summon, but you disagree. Then let the sacred duel decide everything!"

"Duel? Humph, good suggestion." Lou Bai's eyes flickered: "But this is not a good place for a duel."

"Tsk, that thing inside..." Alai glanced at the depths of the forest with a fearful look, but he refused to admit defeat: "I can solve it alone, but that guy is a bit disgusting, and I can't bear to part with those precious materials."

As he spoke, the circular magic circle on the back of Alai's left hand emitted a faint red light, and the staff outlined in the void for a while, and soon drew a silver-white portal.

"Come in, just consider it my welfare for my subordinates in advance!"

As he spoke, Alai took the lead and walked into the portal. Lou Bai and Xiao Lan looked at each other and followed him.

After passing through the portal, they came to a wasteland. The original blood-colored moonlight also returned to normal and turned into a bright and clear light. The strange forest had been left behind, and a corner of it could be seen faintly.

"The stage is ready, let's start!"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Lou Bai narrowed his eyes and smiled like a fox who stole a chicken: "Since it is a sacred duel, the bets of both parties should be equal. You chose to take all of me, so what can you bet?"

"Hehe, with my wise mind, how could I not bet."

Said nonchalantly, Ah Zi confidently submitted his bet to the rigid dark game, but the actual result was far beyond his expectations.

"Who are you?" Alai looked at Lou Bai suspiciously: "You are just a strange-looking soul. Why do you have the blessing of the Three Kings?"

"Three Kings?"

"Oh, it seems that you don't know about this matter?" Seeing Lou Bai frowning, Alai raised his eyebrows: "Then put the relevant information into the transaction!"

Seeing that Lou Bai had no intention of objecting, Alai once again threw his weight into the scale of the dark game. So what was the result? One end of the scale shook symbolically, and then it did not move.

"What? This is forbidden knowledge, and it is only worth this much?"

Although he said so, his eyes were full of eagerness to try: "I haven't encountered such an interesting thing for a long time, so I will offer everything I have as a bet! I have a hunch that if I get you, my summoning magic will definitely reach a new peak!"

Alai added weight, and the golden scale immediately responded. Lou Bai's end rose a lot, but it was still a long way from balance.

[To be honest, I've been using Reading to keep up with the latest updates recently. It switches sources and has many reading voices. It's available for Android and Apple. ]

"Ha, it seems that I'm still more valuable!" Lou Bai smiled and bent his fingers, saying, "Well, now it's my turn to get my weight back."

"First, I want my life back!"

A piece of emerald was taken from the golden scale, and Lou Bai's end rose slightly, but it was still some distance from balance.

"Second, I want my memory and bond back!"

A piece of ruby ​​returned to Lou Bai's hand and disappeared as a light spot. The scale rose a distance visible to the naked eye, but it was not yet balanced.

"Third, I'll take away most of my time. Well, that's about it."

Finally, he took away a piece of fluorite and looked at the barely balanced scale. Lou Bai nodded with satisfaction: "Well, if I lose, I'll work for you for twenty years, and if you lose, you'll work for me. It's a very reasonable bet."

"What's reasonable about this? It's more reasonable for you, right?"

Alai pouted in dissatisfaction, but still approved of the bet. Although the dark game is rigid, at least there will be no mistakes. Since the other party is worth his entire body, it must have its value. Besides, as a genius wizard unprecedented in history, he will never lose.
