Now, obey my orders and let me go back!
Although it is not possible now, I will make you the Lord of the Underworld in the future. I promise you in the name of other gods!"
Hearing the key words, Jiang Lu was shocked for a moment. He finally remembered where he had heard this voice.
Subconsciously, he asked, "Which foreign god? Is it the one whose wife got a sexually transmitted disease?"
"?"
The voice suddenly fell silent, and after a moment, it seemed to break:
"Why the hell are you everywhere?!"
Chapter 261 I Backstab Myself
"I'm here to travel." Jiang Lu answered obediently.
He had already recognized the face; it was Nyarlathotep.
However, the human face is most likely just one of his incarnations, similar in nature to the incarnation sealed in the Great Abyss of Dreamland by Nodens. As for why he remembers himself, it is probably because the consciousness is shared between the clones.
"Travel...Alas..."
Nyarlathotep seemed to be hesitant to speak, and his sigh contained unspeakable bitterness.
The two of them were like a couple who were dating online and met in person.
Nyarlathotep: You look different than in your photograph.
Jiang Lu: Then I leave?
Nyarlathotep: Alas...
"So I guess you won't help me," Nyarlathotep asked again.
Maybe he was a little bit lucky.
Jiang Lu didn't know.
He said, "Guess."
"..."
silence.
Jiang Lu had always thought that the current Yin Emperor, Mei Nan, who was still a little-known figure at that time, might have been bewitched by Nyarlathotep and received off-field assistance, which enabled him to successfully backstab him.
But now it seems that Nyarlathotep has taken a more extreme approach.
He directly controlled the clitoris.
At least that was the case, judging from the fact that Yin Di was trying his best to expel the incarnation of Nyarlathotep from his body.
"No matter who you are, how you took this body, or what grudges we had before, it doesn't matter now."
Suddenly Nyarlathotep spoke:
"I only ask you one question now. The chance to become the Lord of the Underworld is before you. Are you willing to seize it?"
Perhaps worried that Jiang Lu didn't know the significance of the position of Lord of the Underworld, he added:
"Since you are here, I believe you have already learned something about the underworld. This is supreme authority, and it ranks among the top three in all the worlds covered by mythology.
Even if I didn't tell you, you should have seen it. Even the underworld was beaten back step by step by the expedition of the underworld. I think there is nothing more convincing than this."
Hearing this, Jiang Lu laughed with three points of pride, three points of indifference, and ninety-four points of perversion.
Do you need to say this?
Only I know how good the foundation of the underworld is.
However, underneath that smile, there was actually more of Jiang Lu's hidden anger.
What is the position of the Lord of the Underworld?
If you use my things as bargaining chips, I will kill you sooner or later...
And seeing him smile, Nyarlathotep naturally thought that he was moved.
After all, that smile was exactly the same as the expression a veteran criminal would subconsciously show when he heard that there was a big job going on somewhere.
So in his opinion, the matter was settled: "So what do you think?"
"I reject."
"Well, it's fine if you refuse. So now you...ah?"
Because he was sure that Jiang Lu would agree, he didn't hear clearly what Jiang Lu said at the beginning. He was about to ask the other party to help him. Halfway through his words, he realized that Jiang Lu said no instead of yes.
He doesn't understand.
"How could you let go of such an opportunity?" he asked in disbelief.
Jiang Lu shrugged without explaining anything.
Are you kidding? I've never seen anyone use something that belongs to them as a bargaining chip.
Why, I own oregano and I need you to give me the right to glue?
Makes no sense.
Seeing this, Nyarlathotep said angrily: "Don't be ridiculous. No one would refuse such a supreme position. You are just pretending!"
Jiang Lu blinked: "Ah, I think you are a little bit down."
This way of speaking made him involuntarily think of some humorous quotes, such as "No one doesn't like to see abdominal muscles", "I don't know what you are pretending, you must be drooling over the screen", "You say you don't want to fall in love, but it's just that you haven't tasted the goodness of a man" and so on.
It means that the breast is tight.
Hearing this, Nyarlathotep suddenly sneered: "I still remember telling you about the war in the underworld. If you didn't have an idea, how could you have come all the way from the Dreamland to here?"
Another classic speech -
If you don’t want to sleep with me, why do you come out to see me?
Jiang Lu rarely commented on someone like this, but he now felt that Nyarlathotep was somewhat credulous and as disgusting as himself.
However, he did not want to explain further, and just spread his hands and said:
"Strictly speaking, I didn't come here on my own initiative. This was all an accident."
The man's face was still ferocious, but there was a hint of thought in it.
"I remember now... I actually forgot such an important thing... No wonder, no wonder you don't want to cooperate with me..."
His voice suddenly became gloomy.
"You and Zeus are together, aren't you? You just want to go against me!"
"Huh?" After hearing what he said, Jiang Lu finally remembered.
In order to take away Nyarlathotep, who had transformed into a slime monster and was about to blow up the entire planet and die with them, Zeus used his own body as a container and forcibly absorbed him, paying the price of a clone.
The idiot had shouted his name at the time and used justice in the name of Zeus, and Nyarlathotep obviously listened to him.
It happened to be Zeus who was now joining forces with the main gods to put pressure on the Yin Emperor who was controlled by him. So, since I was with him at the beginning, I would naturally be regarded as an enemy by Nyarlathotep.
When he said he would not pursue the past grudges, he just meant that he would not pursue the fact that Jiang Lu had ruined the game between him and Nordens. After all, there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
But if the person who is causing trouble for him right now is still related to Jiang Lu, then that’s a different matter.
After discovering this, Jiang Lu realized that there was no need to pretend anymore.
In all the heavens and the worlds, to be honest, there is no one else except Jiang Lu who can play with Zeus and make him pay such a great price to help him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lu no longer concealed: "I didn't show my true colors to you last time, but now you should have guessed who I am."
But who would have thought that Nyarlathotep would remain silent.
After an awkward moment, he said casually, "Isn't he just an ally of Zeus or Nodens?"
"Ah, am I not worthy of having a name?"
Jiang Lu felt offended.
But he was also a little weird.
What’s going on? My features are so obvious and yet you still don’t know who I am?
Or does he actually not know the relationship between Zeus and I, so he simply thinks that we are just temporarily allied for some reason?
For example...the righteous companions that Nordens found.
The more Jiang Lu thought about it, the more it made sense.
From this point of view, it seems that I can still pretend a little longer and ask more questions.
If necessary, you can even choose to help Nyarlathotep continue to control the Yin Emperor.
Based on two brief encounters with him, Jiang Lu could see that he was an old cunning bastard with endless hidden cards and schemes. He didn't think that he would have no other tricks up his sleeve if he was forced out of Yin Di's body.
If by then he secretly finds a new substitute and does the same thing to stab Yin Di in the back, the situation will become even worse than it is now.
Although the chaos nowadays is already huge, at least Jiang Lu has slowly grasped a lot of information. If he is not sure of killing him in one go, all the previous efforts may be wasted, and there may be a Battle of Hell or a Battle of Helheim.
This is like preparing references for a paper for a long time, only to be told at the last minute that the research direction has changed and that the new topic will not require those materials at all. You are completely disappointed.
So in comparison, it is better to keep things as they are. In this way, at least there won't be too much information gap, and all the previous preparations can come in handy.
And Nyarlathotep certainly could not have imagined that the people who were now living a miserable life because of him would be willing to help him.
There is no such person with abnormal brain and no moral integrity in this world.
But it just so happens that Jiang Lu is one of them.
So he said seriously:
"But what I want to say is that you actually misunderstood. Zeus and I are not familiar with each other. It was just that Nodens found us. Zeus and I had never met before he organized the group."
Nyarlathotep said nothing, nor did he make any comment.
But Jiang Lu's intuition told him that the other party had wavered.
He seemed to have believed it a little.
It’s not his fault that he is naive. The smarter and more profound a person is, the more he trusts himself.
