Qin Yiguan opened his eyes again.

The room was pristine white, and I was still lying on the recliner.

Jiaolong stood beside him, watching him quietly.

"The Silver-Winged Yaksha is alive."

"To be precise, it came to life in my consciousness!"

Qin Yiguan felt inexplicably excited. He knew very well that the Hell scene he had just witnessed was the real Consciousness Tattoo!

Similar to hallucinations, those scenes only exist in one's own mind!

Jiaolong hesitated slightly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No!"

Qin Yiguan's eyes lit up, "I felt so good! The scene I just experienced was extremely satisfying!"

"Enjoyable?"

"Comfortable?"

A gentle breeze blew in from outside the window, causing her Jiaolong hair to sway slightly. Her beautiful eyes looked at the boy with a puzzled expression, seemingly also showing great interest.

"It can be said."

Qin Yiguan suddenly asked, "Were you just writing code? Incorporating those graphics into my consciousness? I'm a user of the Metaverse now, so doesn't that mean you have the ability to rewrite the code of the Gemini Metaverse?"

Linglong, however, remained calm, saying, "It's a small business; there's not much we can change."

"Not many changes?"

Qin Yiguan inhaled slightly.

The products of the Gemini Superbrain are not something users can alter.

Is Jiaolong exceptionally skilled, or are all Consciousness Tattoo artists this courageous?!

The sense of mystery Jiaolong increased from 85% to 90%.

"You're a very special customer; you've piqued my interest."

But then Jiaolong slightly moved her wrist, "Next, one of the seven demon kings under Satan, Lucifer."

Qin Yiguan was also very much looking forward to it.

I love these kinds of twisted characters, the more the merrier!

"I've heard Lucifer is a fallen angel, Meinan."

"Being too good-looking can be detrimental to creating a sense of horror; it affects one's overall presence."

Qin Yiguan said inexplicably.

Jiaolong smiled, a rare occurrence for her. "Those myths and supernatural theories in reality... have long been detached from reality."

"Satan's seven demon kings represent the Seven Deadly Sins sins: Lucifer Pride), Leviathan (Envy), Leviathan (wrath)... Like Satan, Samael also represents the sin of wrath."

"Before Lucifer fell from Heaven, his Pride led him to slaughter the entire kingdom, but God later resurrected it."

"After it fell into Hell, its handsome face disappeared, becoming hideous and twisted, filled with malevolence. The souls of the dead gathered on its face, making it uglier than anyone else."

The boy listened silently, then joked, "This is definitely different from real stories. Could this be something Lucifer himself told you?"

"Um."

Jiaolong actually nodded.

The boy was speechless.

But when Jiaolong mentioned the Seven Deadly Sins, he subconsciously thought of Jiao Shensan again.

Jiaolong had already begun to depict Lucifer, but unlike the Silver-Winged Yaksha, she started with the outer side of Lucifer, namely the six jet-black wings.

Qin Yiguan tentatively asked, "Your father, could he also be a tattoo artist?"

He is a scientist.

"To be precise, he is my adoptive father."

While working, Jiaolong calmly said, "Eighteen years ago, Leviathan, one of the Seven Demon Lords, the Sin of Envy, descended upon Earth, devouring the land in the form of a rift. Its true form is hidden beneath that rift, and it will reappear once the rift is wide enough."

"My adoptive father, following his mentor, used various methods to mend the rift and end that disaster."

"I was originally a devil, a baby who fell out of a crack, and then my adoptive father took me in, and I grew up in this world."

Qin Yiguan scratched his cheek.

This girl might also have some kind of mental illness.

"My father died at Lu Zun's hands."

I will avenge him.

"There was another person who read the letters my father left me, killed many evil people, and offered sacrifices to my father. I owe him a thank you."

Qin Yiguan was slightly taken aback.

Which of this girl's words are true, and which are false?

Could Jiaolong's real name be Jiao Long?

Her adoptive father was Jiao Shensan?!

Doctor Jiao died in a conspiracy orchestrated by the Longevity Society.

Lu Zun's name is legendary; he is the supreme commander of B5 and B6!

If Jiaolong's second half of her words is true, could Lu Zun Longevity Society?!

And yet, this girl, so easily told a stranger that she wanted to avenge her father and kill Lu Zun?

Is Lu Zun someone you can just kill whenever you want?

The allure of the Jiaolong increased from 90% to 95%.

Furthermore, if all the above speculations are true, then wouldn't Jiaolong be thanking me?

"Don't you find all of this incredible?"

"I mean, about my origins, and about the demon."

Jiaolong worked, speaking slowly, "The Gemini Superbrain, since it can simulate the human world, why can't it simulate heaven and Hell? Or perhaps, other things that surpass human imagination, it's ultimately conducting some kind of test. Even in this high-tech era, there's a fitting term to describe it— the Metaverse."

Qin Yiguan was slightly taken aback.

The allure of the Jiaolong beauty increased from 95% to 100%.

Indeed, the world today is virtual; everything from the grass and trees to the skyscrapers and even Digital Human exists.

Therefore, if the Gemini Superbrain wanted to, creating additional heaven and Hell would simply be a matter of more code.

Furthermore, this assumes the existence of the concept of a ' Metaverse '.

So, it's reasonable that these 'universes' are like Matrix, with powerful beings able to traverse between them.

"About Satan."

Jiaolong's thoughts jumped around quite a bit, and she actually returned to the theme of demons, "Satan is his current name. His name in heaven back then has been lost. Although he is the king of demons, he is actually a dark angel who strictly pursues the truth and cannot tolerate any behavior that goes against the truth."

"Whoever he hates, he will cast them into an endless cycle of reincarnation, subjecting them to bloody torment."

"His love for someone is evident in every gesture and movement, yet it can make one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze."

A hint of infatuation appeared in Jiaolong's eyes, "Hell is dark, but he is the light in the darkness."

Qin Yiguan paused, "Satan's values are very sound, just like mine."

What was that saying again?

"Whoever I love, it's a celestial being in my eyes; whoever I hate, even if it hangs itself in front of me, I'll still see it swinging on a swing!"

Her Jiaolong smile seemed to have increased her favor towards the young man.

"As for the appearance of Satan."

"He was imposing, a goat-headed demon with 16 horns, four arms, wielding four longswords burning with black flames, and enormous bat wings covered in bone spikes on his back!"

Qin Yiguan was taken aback again.

The ' Satan ' that Jiaolong described was precisely the 'demon' she had drawn herself without any actual artwork.

Although the details were not visible at the time, the overall outline was exactly the same.

At that very moment.

Qin Yiguan's communicator beeped.

"Hello Boss Qin."

"I am your loyal little brother, Jingye Meinan."

"I bet you're in a room with some girl right now, doing something painful yet exciting."

Interrupting you was my abruptness.

"It's nothing serious that I'm contacting you."

"I simply got the news from my 79th girlfriend."

"The currently trending and aggressive Youth Order Squad is heading straight for our Dog Gang."

"They'll probably wipe us out, kill all our underlings."

"Because I'm quite handsome and cool, their captain might be Envy of me, and then I'd be stripped naked and hung from the rafters, endlessly whipped with willow branches, and ultimately humiliated to death."

"I'm not in a hurry at all."

"The falling flowers yearn for you, but the flowing water is heartless; it doesn't matter whether you come back or not."

After reading the message, Qin Yiguan sighed silently.

Looking at his ' Lucifer ', he realized that it only had an outer outline; the humanoid part in the middle was still empty.

"I'm sorry, Boss Jiao."

I have something to attend to and need to leave first.

Qin Yiguan removed the device from his temple and stood up on his own.

Jiaolong said calmly, "Okay, let's continue next time."

The boy immediately walked towards the door.

But then Jiaolong went to the cabinet next to her and gently wiped the vase containing withered flowers.

She said, "Thank you..."

Qin Yiguan was taken aback, then slowly turned around.

Did she find out?

Jiaolong stood by the lattice window, her slender fingers gently touching an unnamed wildflower. Sunlight streamed in, casting a long, slender shadow of her. Her short white hair swayed slightly, her profile was flawless, and her graceful figure was exceptional. The scene was unique and beautiful.

But then Jiaolong said, "Thank you for your patronage."

Qin Yiguan snapped out of his daze and chuckled, "As for the expenses, could you put them on the tab first?"

Jiaolong looked at the scenery outside the window and said softly, "Okay."
