A Reason

"Giggle."

Jiaolong suddenly chuckled, "A consciousness monster, very interesting."

Jiaolong used her paintbrush to touch the body of the Starvation Corpse, and then moved it back to the Consciousness Drawing Board as if Starvation Corpse were moving a folder.

"It's quiet now."

Qin Yiguan grinned.

But Jiaolong smiled and said, "Last time I finished the Silver-Winged Yaksha for you, and then I finished Lucifer's outline. Today, I'll finish Lucifer for you, and then Satan, and the other demon kings under Satan."

Qin Yiguan was taken aback. "Won't this take a lot of time?"

What does 'occupy' mean?

Jiaolong stared at Qin Yiguan, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Qin Yiguan pursed his lips, "Of course... no."

Jiaolong did not hesitate at all.

She then began working, seemingly focusing 100% of her attention on the paintbrush in her hand and the canvas with the Consciousness Tattoo.

Qin Yiguan watched her quietly, still able to smell a faint fragrance from her body, and could clearly see that Jiaolong's long eyelashes were still trembling slightly.

Time passed second by second.

Qin Yiguan vaguely sensed that deafening roars of demons and the earth-shaking sounds of giant monsters stomping their feet were constantly echoing in his mind. He could even feel waves of heat spreading and evaporating in his mind.

Moreover, Qin Yiguan could hear the Starvation Corpse' roars, tinged with fear.

"Holy crap!"

"What is this?!"

"What's that?!"

"What's that?!"

"Master, I have no way to survive!"

"Master, there's almost no room for me in your brain anymore!"

Qin Yiguan simply gazed quietly at the Jiaolong face.

The words echoed in my mind, "Starvation Corpse, noisy."

At this very moment.

In Qin Yiguan's mind, there was nothing but a vast, dark expanse where a gigantic demon, a thousand meters tall, stood on the earth, causing it to crumble and split apart. Black Hell burst forth from countless cracks, countless souls wailed incessantly, and countless evil spirits danced in the sky. In the distance, there was a furnace engraved with various magical patterns, tilting and burning every inch of the ground with scalding magma.

These scenes, compared to the tattoo artist in front of me whose expression barely changed for two hours, were utterly boring and uninteresting.

Qin Yiguan just stared at Jiaolong.

For a very long time.

Qin Yiguan still wanted to strike up a conversation with Jiaolong, "Um, who is that Xiaojiao outside the door...?"

Jiaolong replied while concentrating on her work, "She is my counterpart in this Metaverse, and now we are very good friends."

"Oh."

Qin Yiguan nodded. Just as he had guessed, this Jiaolong in the universe... liked fitness.

Xiaojiao is so petite.

Time flows slowly.

Qin Yiguan didn't keep track of the time; perhaps three hours had passed, or perhaps six hours had passed.

But the long line outside the door caused an uproar.

"Why should I?!"

Give me a reason!

"How dare he stay in there for so long!"

"Not only is there no queue, but what is he getting tattooed that takes so long?!"

I protest!

"I..."

Before any commotion could even begin, a loud crash followed as Xiaojiao stomped her foot, causing the ground to shake three times, and the scene instantly fell silent again.

The men swallowed hard and said weakly, "Then I'll wait a little longer... Just so you know, I can only wait for a maximum of one hour!"

Five hours later.

Qin Yiguan stared at the Jiaolong in front of him, "Aren't you tired? Satan and his seven demon kings haven't finished yet?"

Those have already been completed.

But Jiaolong's hands hadn't stopped; she was still carefully carving something. She said, "I'll give you seven more Pandora's Box."

Pandora's Box?

Qin Yiguan looked somewhat puzzled.

"It comes from classical Greek mythology, within which endless possibilities can be explored."

Her Jiaolong, beautiful eyes sparkled. "I've placed all sorts of powerful tattoos inside; you can activate them whenever you need to."

Qin Yiguan smiled; the woman before him was actually quite concerned about his safety.

"No rush, take your time with the tattoo."

Qin Yiguan looked at the beautiful woman before him, becoming happier and more infatuated with her.

"I just finished Satan, didn't you feel any fear?"

Jiaolong suddenly asked.

But Qin Yiguan calmly replied, "How could that be? The word 'skin' doesn't exist in my Qin Yiguan!"

"Skin?"

Jiaolong was taken aback.

"Oh, I misspoke."

Qin Yiguan quickly replied, "What I mean is, the word 'true white' doesn't exist in my Qin Yiguan!"

"Your skin is so white?"

Jiaolong suddenly realized something.

Qin Yiguan quickly corrected himself, "You misspoke! The word 'fear' doesn't exist in my Qin Yiguan!"

"Hehe."

Jiaolong chuckled softly, "It seems you truly feel no fear whatsoever."

Jiaolong's snow-white shoulders swayed before Qin Yiguan's eyes.

Blood began to flow from Qin Yiguan.

Jiaolong pointed to Qin Yiguan's nose.

Qin Yiguan wiped his nose and said, "Impossible. I'm not like those characters in movies and novels who get nosebleeds when they see a beautiful woman. First of all, that's not my personality, and secondly, it doesn't conform to human physiology!"

But as Qin Yiguan uttered those words, blood foam spilled from his mouth, and he could no longer hold it in; bright red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, staining his entire cheeks red.

Qin Yiguan realized something was wrong, his expression changed, and he swallowed the blood in his mouth.

He then looked at Jiaolong and chuckled, "It's nothing. I've been experiencing some minor health issues lately, occasionally vomiting a little blood, but it'll be fine in a while."

But then she noticed that Jiaolong's brows were slightly furrowed.

Strangely enough, in the short time it took Qin Yiguan to speak, his condition improved, and the bleeding from his mouth stopped.

Even Qin Yiguan himself could not detect anything unusual.

But a gloomy look inexplicably settled over her Jiaolong face. Then, she made the final stroke on her Consciousness Drawing Board, slowly removing her white gloves. "Pandora's Box is complete."

And at this very moment.

From the already darkening sky outside the shop, roars and tremors could be heard.

Qin Yiguan and Jiaolong both looked out the window.

"Why should I!"

Give me a reason!

"I waited in line for so long, only to be treated so unfairly!"

"It's already dark!"

The patience of the thousands of men in line had clearly reached its limit, and they were now completely enraged. They gathered together and surrounded the small tattoo shop, no longer afraid of even the fierce Xiaojiao.

Just as they were about to act together and break down the door...

A rumbling tremor echoed across the distant land.

On the dark horizon, countless tall figures appeared, but these figures were not human, but strange beasts. Among them were animals that resembled tigers, but their bodies were more than ten times the size of tigers, and their exposed fangs were several meters long!

The men's expressions immediately turned to fear. "It's getting dark! The beast tide is coming!"

Inside the store.

Jiaolong stood by the window, gazing at the distant horizon. "This place is different from the Multiverse 012. The outer edge of the city isn't called the Experimental Zone, but the ' Beast Zone '."

"Unpredictably, after nightfall, an endless army of wild beasts will appear there."

"They are destroying and devouring this city."

It will dissipate at dawn.

"There are very few cities left in this universe."

Her Jiaolong short hair fluttered in the wind. "These men are so crazy about me because they want to live for the moment. I passed through here, discovered the rules of this place, and opened a tattoo shop to protect this place. Although it can't last forever, I'll protect it for as long as I can."

Qin Yiguan didn't say anything and walked out of the room, leaving only the empty recliner behind.

"The beast tide has arrived!"

"Anyway, we won't live much longer; sooner or later we'll be swallowed up by the beast tide!"

"I'm really going to disregard everything today!"

"Your tattoo shop, and that proprietress, you owe me an explanation! Why were you giving that kid special treatment?"

Give me a reason!

The men had gone somewhat mad, ignoring the beastly horde and shouting outside the door.

It was at this time.

With the sound of a copper bell, Qin Yiguan slowly pushed open the white wooden door and appeared before everyone's eyes.

But for some inexplicable reason, an eerie atmosphere suddenly enveloped everyone's hearts.

Qin Yiguan's expression was somber and chilling, and for a moment no one dared to stop him.

He walked until he reached the very edge of the city, and whispered, "You need a reason, don't you?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Black mist billowed around Qin Yiguan's body, instantly obscuring the sky and the sun.

Within the vast black fog, two crimson dots suddenly appeared.

With a Wrath, the black mist suddenly dispersed.

Suddenly, a gigantic demonic figure, a thousand meters tall, appeared in the sky.

Its entire body is covered in deep red skin, with a ferocious and terrifying face. It has two black ram horns on its head, each over a hundred meters long, winding and twisting, pointing straight to the sky. Its hands and feet are demonic claws with black and sharp nails.

Its eyes typically have blood-red sclera and extremely black Pupil.

Its body arched slightly forward, and behind it was a red tail hundreds of meters long, with a triangular bone spike at the tip, on which black flames burned, swaying slowly in the air.

It took a step, and the earth shook; the ground a thousand meters ahead cracked inch by inch, and Hell erupted forth.

In an instant, an overwhelming aura of ferocity blotted out the sky.

But then they saw that terrifying monster could actually speak human language, its voice ancient and resounding. "I was once one of the angels, but in the Last Judgment I was cast into the lake of fire to suffer eternal punishment!"

"I once said I was not an enemy of God, but all the demon kings of the world are my subordinates!"

The enormous red demon suddenly waved its hand, and the seven helmets it held in its palm fell to the ground. Instantly, black Hell ignited within the helmets, and from within the flames, the seven demon kings, including Lucifer, rose from the ground and solidified!

Satan.

And the seven demon kings under Satan, representing the Seven Deadly Sins, descended upon the human world in the form of a thousand-meter-tall demon and a hundred-meter-tall shadow.

The appearance of this demon king seemed to turn the surrounding area for miles around into Hell.

Black flames surged to the heavens as the leader of the Western Hell faced the onrushing tide of beasts.

At that moment, Qin Yiguan clenched his fist slightly, and a cracking sound of air being compressed came from the sky. Satan also clenched his fist at the same time!

"Didn't you want a reason?"

"I can visualize Jiaolong's Consciousness Tattoo."

Qin Yiguan turned around, a wicked smile on his face, "You... can you do it?"
