I have a date with the devil

Chapter5

"No, you can see, you just need a little help." The young man's voice steeply lightened, seeped in some seductive elements: "Come, close your eyes."

Ye Miao reflexively closed his eyes, and his eyelids were covered by a cool, silky hand. For strangers, this is really an overly intimate posture, Ye Miao slightly shocked, too late to lean back, the other party has point to the hand back, as a staged magician, laughing: "Now open your eyes to see."

Ye Miao immediately opened his eyes and found that the original darkness of the field of vision, but really began to emerge a thin patch of light, slowly linked into a piece, the star-like glowing phosphor dots on the wall from blurred to clear ...... deprived of vision back!

Ye Miao as relieved, raised his head. When finally looked at the face of the teenager who had been talking to himself for so long, her whole person froze.

The other side raised his chin at her, his posture was open, unmoving, allowing her to look at him, without the slightest twinge or cover up.

He looks about the same age as her, with a slender posture, but not washed away from the thinness of a teenager, dressed in a black robe.

In such a dim environment, you can also see the dark blue blood under his pale skin. Curly and black short hair hanging down the side of the face, beautiful face, narrow eye slit contains a fine pupil, rippling with scarlet light, as if hiding a poisonous small hook, revealing a with a strong aggressive demonic.

Perhaps the word "enchanting" to describe a teenager is not appropriate, but there is no better than it to describe the feelings that hit Ye Miao's heart at the moment.

Not in any way derogatory, but praise.

With the bent, pretentious, charming and indecent ...... and other words are not relevant. His face is undoubtedly beautiful to excess, but based on the upright eyebrow and nose bone and sharp English jawbone, the flow of a stream of charm at the edge of the derailment was just the right amount of a collection, creating a wonderful sense of awe.

Arrogant and provocative, naive and evil. Two completely contradictory temperaments.

For a moment, Ye Miao's heart seemed to miss a beat.

To be honest, if she hadn't touched him with a normal human temperature, as well as dispelled her doubts through the short conversation and time spent together just now, then, in the first second of seeing him, she would have suspected that this teenager was not human.

The good thing is, in the continent of Ripus, there does not yet exist a magical creature that can flawlessly disguise itself as a human. Even the most skilled shape-shifting chimera would not have such a realistic and delicate expression. Unless it was something beyond what was recorded - but that kind of thing, how could it be that easy to encounter?

It was only when the other party raised his eyebrows as if derisively that Ye Miao reacted, staring at the other party like this was very impolite, blushing and rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand like a cover-up, pulling away from the topic: "Why was I blind just now?"

The young man shrugged his shoulders and said regretfully: "Probably because you are under a curse."

Ye Miao stared straight, just landed the heart hanging again.

Seeing her look of panic and vigilance and pretending to be calm, the teenager finally couldn't help himself, poof, his shoulders trembled slightly and explained with a smile: "I'm just kidding. In fact, it's your eyes that can't adapt to the light for a while, that's why you can't see."

Almost believed Ye Miao a little embarrassed, and a little chagrin. This guy, how can he joke without changing his face in this situation? The mentality is too good, right?

However, this explanation, and her own guess is similar - because too long to sleep, it takes more time to adapt to the darkness.

Being interrupted, unknowingly, Ye Miao has come out of that six-dimensional state of despair just now. In any case, found a companion in a desperate situation, can discuss together how to get out of here, are much better than alone in the fight around.

And ......

Ye Miao some doubts through the clothes touched his ribs - I do not know whether it is the reason for a sleep, here previously has been pain vague, there is a growing trend, but now it does not hurt much.

The teenager rested his cheeks, glanced at her, thoughtfully said: "You still haven't answered my question, who are you?"

Ye Miao put aside the question for the time being, first seriously reported his name, and then puzzled: "And you, who are you again?"

"I don't have a name." The other party's face was hidden in the shadows and smiled shallowly, revealing a sharp little tiger tooth: "But you can call me as ......Berial (Berial), I gave it to myself."

In the continent of Ripass, only slaves whose status was lower than the commoner class did not have a surname or even a formal name. Often, a simple code name, or even a string of numbers, is to follow them for the rest of their lives to call.

Ye Miao rightfully considered in this direction. She came from a royal family, but not so insurmountable notion of hierarchy. Besides, it didn't matter how he came from, what mattered was how they were going to get out of here.

"Okay, Serial," Ye Miao stopped beating around the bush and got straight to the point: "Why are you here, did you also accidentally fall down from above?"

"Well, I'm the same as you."

"Great." Ye Miao heaved a breath, afraid of causing misunderstanding, and said embarrassed: "Ah, sorry, I'm not gloating, just happy to have found a companion. I got lost here, walked for a long time and came back to the original point, almost thought I would never find the exit and would be trapped here for the rest of my life. Fortunately, I met you and we can leave this hellhole together."

Unexpectedly, Berial did not show a happy expression. He looked at her steadily for a long time, then suddenly shook his head and slowly but clearly shattered her plan: "It's impossible to leave, we can't get out of here."

Ye Miao frowned deeply and retorted, "Why, we haven't tried yet, how do you know we can't get out?"

"I've tried. When I first broke into this place, I encountered the exact same thing as you. This is a corridor that is infinitely reincarnated, no matter how long you go, you will only go back to the original point." Berial's long fingers traced an illusory circle in mid-air, as if jealous of something, came close to her ear and quietly said, "This is a cage that has been inflicted with dark magic. Those who break in cannot leave here by themselves."

Light and darkness are born together, but light magic and dark magic are not products of the same period. Light magic is a treasure given by the gods to the elves and cannot be stolen by other races. Dark magic, on the other hand, was born several hundred years later than the former. The cause was that the Elves abandoned the continent of Ripus, and humans were disappointed to find themselves unable to inherit light magic. A small group of people, unwilling to accept the reality, used the remnants left behind by the elves and mixed them with various sorceries to create a spell that was not like any other, and named it "dark magic", boasting that it was on par with light magic.

These two kinds of magic have different origins and opposite effects. Light magic comes from the divine power of the elves, which can heal the sick and wounded, as well as kill the enemy and remove the demons. Although dark magic is also powerful, but no healing effect, always accompanied by destruction, killing and other evil hooks appear, and each use, will lose human life - the most horrible is that life can be consumed both their own, but also can use others.

During the decades when dark magic was most prevalent, it was also the most chaotic period in the continent of Ripus, where innocent people were killed and sacrificed to dark magic every day. In response, various kingdoms issued decrees, burned related books, and went around to catch dark magicians.

Nowadays, dark magic has disappeared everywhere, but as long as one has knowledge of that history, one must know how many fishy storms it has stirred up.

Ye Miao said incredulously, "Why is there dark magic here?"

Actually it was not only dark magic. There was also the ugly monster she saw in the library ...... The secrets in this royal palace were too many.

"Who knows." Berial's elbows lazily propped up on the propped up legs, thought about it and said, "The very time to do extraordinary means, should want to use violence to control violence, using dark magic to imprison a monster."

Ye Miao's heart fluttered, something called out.

"Aren't you curious as to why I know the secrets of this place so well?" Berial narrowed his red eyes, hiding a glimpse of dark light that darted by, "Because I've dealt with that monster."

Although he hadn't described what the monster looked like, but Ye Miao's mind had flashed through a lot of jumbled images, took a breath and confirmed, "Are you talking about the ...... Abil's man-eating monster?"

"Is that what the people outside call Him?" Berial seemed to have a slight displeasure, he crossed his arms, lazily said: "But He did not eat me."

"What happened in between?"

"He didn't hurt me, and provided me with food, and I guess He can come and go freely in this labyrinth, or He can send people away. But He didn't send me away because He let me live on the condition that - I stay here with Him forever."

It would be absolutely worse than death to be locked up in this ghostly place without seeing daylight for the rest of your life. I'm afraid she doesn't have such a good mind as Serial, and will go crazy before she dies.

Ye Miao trembled, tilted her head, looked at Berial with terrified, moist eyes, and said confusedly, "Why would He make such a weird request?"

"He is very smart, very powerful, very lonely, and no less capable of thinking than a human, people will feel lonely, and He naturally will too. Maybe He just wants to talk to someone." Berial coaxing general, relaxed his voice: "a monster, act without logic, all by preference and desire to do, is not very normal?"

"But ...... I can't be locked up here." Ye Miao has obviously realized that he will probably be left here as well as Berial, eagerly and incoherently said: "I am the princess sent by Kadan to beg for peace, if I suddenly disappeared, outside will definitely set off an uproar, maybe the queen of Abil will think that I escaped privately, then, my parents and brother will definitely be asked for the crime. And ......"

Suddenly, she had a dizzy spell, her body swayed slightly, and was held by Berial's quick eyes and hands.

Counting the time, it was already midnight outside by this time. She had not eaten any water since the evening, and tired of running, her stomach has long been hungry. But she was so nervous that she didn't feel dizzy until now.

Berial wrapped his arm around her, and like magic, fetched a piece of bread and a small pot of water from the stone place behind him, handed it to Ye Miao, and said with concern: "Eat something first, your face is too ugly. This is my dinner today, it hasn't been touched."

Ye Miao hesitated for a moment, very embarrassed, but she was really hungry, finally took it and took a bite, thinking that Berial was really a good person.

As soon as she bit into it, she knew that it was the most common kind of bread taken from the kitchen of the Royal Palace of Abil, and the texture was still soft, indicating that it was freshly taken.

Berial did not lie to her, that monster, really can freely come and go from here, and can also unknowingly steal bread from the kitchen to feed the humans it has locked up here ......

"You don't have to be afraid, I'll think of something for you." Berial gently patted her back and comforted, "Although I have no way to let you go, but I can try to beg Him, or ...... take you to beg Him."

Ye Miao, with bread crumbs still on the corner of her mouth, sniffed and subconsciously grabbed his shirt, as if afraid of being left in the darkness once again, and said eagerly, "Wait a minute. You're leaving?"

"Only He has the power to get you out of here." Berial carried off the bread crumbs from her face and said sincerely, "Don't worry, He won't eat me. But He's never in the business of losing money, and may make some odd demands of you. Just as He wants me to stay with Him as odd ......"

Ye Miao puffed out his cheeks, looked down and considered for two seconds, and said, "As long as I can get out of here, I'll agree to whatever."

"Is that so?" Berial raised his eyebrows and gave a meaningful but very nice smile, "I know, I'll pass it on to Him."

Ye Miao thought the monster would come to her, but she didn't see Him show up until she had eaten her fill and slept wearily with Berial's jacket on.

When she woke up, the heat source around her was gone, and she was left alone again all around.

Ye Miao opened her eyes and sat up abruptly, looking around: "Berial?" Where are you?

For people, if they are alone all the time, they don't feel much fear. If you have had a companion and quickly lost, is the beginning of panic.

Fortunately, after waiting for a while, in the darkness at the end of the corridor, there came a sound of footsteps. Ye Miao's breathing suddenly accelerated. Luckily, what slowly emerged from that obscurity was Berial's tall figure.

He walked up to her step by step, knelt down on one knee, reached out and wrapped her messy black hair behind her ear, and smiled faintly: "Don't be afraid, the monster has promised to let you go."

Ye Miao was delighted, but then had a premonition of Berial's next words.

"But He made a request."

"After leaving from here, every once in a while, you have to come back here and talk with Him." Berial stared at her searingly, "If you are willing to keep this promise, He will let you go."
