Luo Lin's Online Deception of Mr. Door

"After all, this isn't a good ending, and I've always been someone who likes completeness. Even though I can't be a good person anymore, I still hope good people get a good reward." Luo Lin said this, his expression a mix of nostalgia and sadness, making one wonder if there were many stories behind it.

In reality, however, Luo Lin was merely playing the role of Lucifer convincingly.

One could say that in a sense, Luo Lin was truly a chosen troublemaker, perfectly suited for this path from top to bottom.

But Luo Lin didn't dwell in sadness for too long. He quickly smiled again and looked at Bethel, adding seriously, "Of course, the main reason is that I really dislike Amon, so I don't really want Him to be the final winner."

Hearing this, Bethel gave Luo Lin a deep look but showed no particular surprise. He simply said calmly, "You chose me as the variable for this ending."

"That's very fitting," Luo Lin nodded unhurriedly. "In a complete story, everyone naturally deserves a more suitable ending."

As for whether Klein or Bethel would become the Lord of Mysteries in this more suitable ending, Luo Lin claimed he didn't know.

In any case, he was investing in both sides; he wouldn't lose regardless of who became the Lord of Mysteries.

Bethel remained noncommittal. He suddenly asked, "You are the Chief Sovereign of Chaos that Pallez mentioned, aren't you?"

"Shush! Just know it, don't tell Pallez. After all, I haven't had enough fun yet!" Luo Lin, whose identity was suddenly exposed, wasn't surprised. He simply placed a finger against Mr. Door's lips, smiling broadly, his troublemaker nature fully revealed.

Luo Lin indeed wasn't surprised that Mr. Door could guess this. After all, what kind of subordinate could summon the Shadow of Time and have a Great Old One within them? It was obvious something was amiss.

Therefore, Luo Lin had never intended to hide this from Mr. Door, but he also didn't plan to explain much.

Smart people will figure it out themselves!

Bethel felt a bit of sympathy for Pallez. Although they hadn't known each other long, how could he not see that the person before him was a troublemaker whose personality was no less than Amon's? Moreover, considering the abilities the former possessed, Lucifer's destructive power would only be greater than Amon's.

However, it was merely sympathy. After all, Bethel didn't have much of a relationship with Pallez. After Solomon's first fall and everyone following different Emperors, they could even be called enemies. While Mr. Door was a good person, he wasn't so good as to risk great danger to warn his enemy.

"I won't tell Pallez," Bethel said faintly, then looked at Luo Lin with some curiosity, tentatively asking, "How do you plan to try?"

This question naturally referred to how Luo Lin intended to remove the corruption from Mr. Door.

"First, let's establish a connection with the you of this timeline," Luo Lin said, looking at Bethel with a smile.

Establishing a connection with Mr. Door of this timeline wasn't too difficult. Although Luo Lin didn't have the Abraham family bloodline, nor was he of the Scholar pathway, he had the past Bethel by his side. With the past Bethel's help, the connection between the two was established quite smoothly.

Then, Luo Lin heard a pained voice:

"Don't save me... Don't save me..."

That was the last sliver of clear consciousness from Bethel Abraham of this era, the corrupted Mr. Door.

Luo Lin glanced at the past Bethel beside him and said with a sigh, "Did you hear what He was saying?"

"I heard," Bethel sighed. While helping Luo Lin establish the connection with Mr. Door of this era, he had naturally also established a connection with his past self, so he could clearly hear the cries from the other.

"Do you regret it? His cries directly severed the Abraham family's possibility of producing high-sequence existences. Otherwise... perhaps you might have survived," Luo Lin said, observing Bethel with some curiosity.

Will you regret it? Your future choices... this path of destined sacrifice.

"...I am sorry to the descendants of Abraham," the past Bethel sighed after a moment of silence, but then said with immense determination, "But there is nothing to regret. Compared to becoming a plaything for an Outer God, death is a better choice."

"If this is my future, I accept it calmly."

Luo Lin smiled upon hearing this. He then heard the pained voice by his ear diminish. After a second or two of silence, the voice reappeared. The other party seemed to have sensed Luo Lin, who had established a connection with him, and spoke in a friendly tone:

"Hello, little one!"

The past Bethel's brow twitched. He could naturally tell that the one speaking now was his corrupted self, and the sliver of clarity that Mr. Door of this era had possessed had once again succumbed.

However, due to the past Bethel's intentional shielding, the other party clearly did not detect Bethel's presence.

Luo Lin raised an eyebrow. His expression remained unchanged, but his voice was timid, "Who... who are you?"

"You can call me Mr. Door, little one. Can you tell me your name?" the corrupted Mr. Door asked gently. Judging by his voice alone, no one would have guessed that he was the personality born from corruption.

"My name is Lucifer, Lucifer Soroyastor. You are Mr. Door? I saw your name in the family records..." Luo Lin acted without batting an eye.

"Soroyastor..." the corrupted Mr. Door on the other end seemed to chuckle, then continued, "It seems you are the descendant of an old friend of mine. How nostalgic, the surname Soroyastor..."

Luo Lin immediately played along, chatting with the corrupted Mr. Door about Pallez. After a few exchanges, he glanced at Bethel, who was looking at him speechlessly.

"Don't look at me like that. I wasn't lying. My name is indeed Lucifer Soroyastor now," Luo Lin said with a smile, pausing before adding righteously, "Besides, the person on the other end is you controlled by the Mother Goddess, so it's only natural for me to act a bit."

"As long as you're happy," the past Bethel could only manage to say, holding back his words.

Luo Lin was indeed very happy to exchange pleasantries and act with the corrupted Mr. Door for a while longer before saying, "Mr. Door, actually, I've established this connection with you because I have a gift I want to give you?"

"...What gift?" The other party paused for a moment, clearly not expecting Luo Lin to say this so suddenly.

"The gift is, of course... a gift!" Luo Lin blinked, suddenly revealing a brilliant smile. Then, with lightning speed, he channeled the power of the Nyarlathotep fragment within him through the connection between them. The next second, he heard a pained scream:

"Ahhh—!"
