I'm a villain, not a devil

However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the basement was not as peaceful as that on the ground.

Through the one-way glass, a man wearing a golden mask was staring at the prisoner in the cell.

The mask on the man's face is a bit strange, it reveals an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, but it does not lose its sense of reality. This mask is carefully carved from dark hardwood, and the surface has been baptized by the years, showing a warm luster, as if every inch contains the precipitation of history.

Its eyes are two deep grooves. Although there are no eyeballs, they seem to be able to see into people's hearts, making people feel an inexplicable sense of oppression when staring at them. The corners of its mouth are slightly raised, outlining a subtle smile, which looks solemn and friendly, as if imparting endless wisdom to the wearer.

On the forehead of the mask, there is a simple and elegant pattern carved. It is neither a complicated spell nor a weird pattern, but just a stable triangle, with the suggested sun, moon and formation carved on each corner.

The masked man held a golden cane. The cane was made entirely of gold, but the top was inlaid with an ordinary black stone. From time to time, when the man poked the ground with the cane, the stone seemed to wriggle occasionally like a living thing.

Standing next to the masked man were several people in uniforms. One of the leaders spoke up, "Zongxiong came back for help. It looks like Shawu is in big trouble..."

As he was talking, the door of the underground cell was pushed open, and the city protector Sha Youling, who had made Sean wary, walked in. She bowed to the masked man and said, "I have completed the investigation. The entire Shawu line has been breached, and all the resources have been looted. Almost all of the 500,000 people in the city have been taken away as slaves."

"According to my information, the force attacking Sand Five this time is the Empire."

After hearing what Sha Youling said, the others were surprised. "Really? Zong Xiong didn't lie. But when did the Empire become so powerful? Moreover, according to our information, the Empire just encountered the gaze of the evil gods and suffered heavy losses."

The masked man finally spoke slowly: "Youling, did you see anyone?"

His voice seemed to be processed by a mask, with a sacred yet alienated feeling.

Sha Youling nodded and told Sean about her encounter with him. Of course, she didn't know Sean's true identity, she just described it according to her feelings.

The masked man nodded slowly: "It matches what Zongxiong said. Ha, Youling, you've been tricked."

"A trick? My perception should be correct..." Sha Youling frowned.

The masked man said slowly: "The man who controlled Zongxiong and confronted you is named Sean."

"Sean? I heard the archbishop of the Divine Research Society mention this name...it seemed like it was Crimson Peak?" Sha Youling remembered something about Sean.

The masked man turned around and said, "That was before. The current Sean is... a useless person. He just forcibly used his special ability to deceive everything he could. But, it's not your fault, Youling. After all, that Sean dared to deceive even the evil god. He is so bold."

"Even the evil god?" Sha Youling's pupils shrank.

The masked man turned around and took one last look at Zong Xiong who was locked in the cell. "Zong Xiong was released on purpose. There is no need to interrogate him during this period. Just treat it as a basic isolation measure. The rest of you, keep an eye on Zong Xiong. Sean must have left a backup plan in his body, but we can't detect it now."

"Yes."

He and Sha Youling walked out of the underground cell. When they reached the street, the residents who saw him immediately stopped and half-knelt slowly, their faces full of piety: "Knowledge is the door to truth."

"May the truth shine upon you." The masked man gently poked these devout believers with his cane.

The two walked towards the largest building in the city. The building looked like a church, but its height was beyond imagination, almost reaching directly into the clouds.

When she arrived at the door of the building, Sha Youling stopped. This was not a place she should step into.

The masked man nodded to her and said, "Youling, the other party will not give up. Take some people with you and go to Shasi first."

"I see. What about you?"

The masked man looked up at the towering building and said piously: "I'm going to ask God for his will."

……

"The City of Sand also has gods to believe in?" Bai Ye was a little confused and didn't know how Sean came to such a conclusion.

Sean nodded casually. "It doesn't look like it, right? Because Shawu doesn't have any faith-related facilities, etc."

Bai Ye nodded: "Moreover, most of the slaves we brought back are people without faith. Those who have faith are those before going to Shawu, which are messy, and some believe in the self."

"My self, hehe..." Sean laughed and explained, "On the one hand, it's normal for the high-end combat power in this world to be related to gods. On the other hand, the suspected deep blue strongman I met was wearing magical armor. I vaguely sensed some information. The most important thing is, don't forget that I also have some methods of gods in the Gray Sea, but I can sense that those methods are ineffective against her before they are used."

Bai Ye asked doubtfully, "Are you saying that the mysterious woman's armor is also a creation of the gods?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Sean nodded. "That's the only explanation. Of course, to be precise, it can't be considered a creation of God. It's probably some kind of treasure made with the help of God's power. But that's not important. What's important is that the City of Sand has such means, which means that they have substantial communication with the gods they believe in."

"Similar to the ego?" Bai Ye asked.

Sean shook his head: "It may not be my type. To be honest, my type is not very powerful as an evil god, but I have a hunch that the god behind the City of Sand may be much stronger than my type."

"Hiss... the true god?"

“It’s hard to say, but…” Sean licked his lips excitedly, the expectation in his eyes clearly visible, “No matter whether they are good gods or evil gods, they cannot come to the world. And my self and the blood warrior before will definitely spread my news throughout the God Realm.”

He gently raised one hand, and the spoils obtained from the Blood Warrior were swimming in it.

"If you want to deal with me, you have to pay for the ticket - so, I have a bold idea."

Bai Ye said in disbelief: "Your current ideas are not bold enough, you have already started to take advantage of the gods."

Sean just shook his head. "Making money from tickets one by one is a bit too slow. Besides, if I collect ticket money from the gods behind the City of Sand, the other gods will more or less react. They will understand that I am deliberately luring people down..."

"So..." Sean licked his lips, "It's better to cut all the leeks at once."
