The Boss Behind The Game Chapter 74

Gu Yu was still dazed after he came out of the flashback.

“Boss! Are you alright? Why are you frozen in place?” Sun Qi hollered at him as he clung to his legs.

“Go away!” Gu Yu kicked Sun Qi aside. Then, his expression became very serious.

The previous scene was just like a dream, but he could clearly sense the Demonic God’s evil intentions to destroy the world.

From the Demonic God’s birth until his awakening, Gu Yu truly resonated with the change in mentality that he had gone through. That feeling was like deja vu, as if he himself was once the Demonic God.

He stared at the pagoda column. Obviously, the pagoda column was erected here afterwards. The skeleton must’ve belonged to the first King of Beiqi.

Gu Yu fell into deep thought. He did not know what was going on. Why would Sun Qi be repelled when he touched it, while he had a different experience when he did the same thing?

“Do you long for power?” a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

The voice was familiar to him. Although it sounded much older and wearier, he could still recognize that the voice belonged to the Demonic God.

“You’re the Demonic God?” Gu Yu asked in his mind.

“Do you long for power?” the voice repeated. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“What bullshit are you talking about? Explain properly!” Gu Yu snapped impolitely.

Although he knew that the transformation of the Demonic God was brought about by external interference, it was undeniable that the Demonic God himself was the epitome of evil. Gu Yu thought

that the Demonic God was trying to lure him into doing evil deeds.

After Gu Yu’s response, the voice remained silent for a few moments before speaking up again.

“Do me a favor, and I will repay you with boundless power!”

“Yeah, right!” Gu Yu was unimpressed.

……

At that moment, Lu Wu and Bei Li’s expressions were solemn.

They had borne witness to everything that happened to Gu Yu just now, including the flashback that showed a part of the Demonic God’s memories.

Lu Wu suddenly turned to look at Bei Li, who jumped like a deer in headlights.

“I haven’t asked a single question yet…” Lu Wu said flatly.

Bei Li laughed awkwardly after hearing that.

“Tell me, are you that girl who addressed herself as ‘Li’?” Lu Wu stared at her unblinkingly, like a father who was questioning his child on whether he completed his homework or not.

“No!” Bei Li answered without hesitation.

Seeing that Lu Wu did not look convinced, Bei Li lifted her right hand and declared, “I swear that it wasn’t me, but I know who she is.”

Lu Wu pondered for a moment before speaking up again, “Previously, you told me that you’re only around 300 years old, but the girl that appeared in the scene looked like she was at least tens of thousands or a few hundred thousand years old. Can you explain how you got to know each other?”

Bei Li started to look awkward again as she remained silent.

“You have thirty seconds to organize your thoughts or come up with a story.”

Bei Li’s brows furrowed as she fell into deep thought.

After a few seconds had passed, Bei Li lifted her head. She opened her mouth, paused for a moment, then closed it again. She looked at Lu Wu with wide puppy dog eyes as she said, “Sadly, I’m incapable of making anything up.”

Lu Wu was speechless.

“Then just tell me the truth!” he sighed as he facepalmed.

“No can do. If I tell you now, then your soul will disintegrate on the spot, because it won’t be able to handle my secret!” Bei Li’s face contorted into a terrified expression.

“So magical?” Lu Wu was surprised.

“Yes, so in the meantime, I will try my best to strengthen the fortitude of your soul. I will tell you about everything when you are ready,” Bei Li answered in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wu could not make up his mind for a few moments, but he nodded eventually.

Since he had chosen to believe in Bei Li, then he would continue to do so. After all, she was the one who made his life so much more colorful and interesting than before, and they were growing increasingly attached to each other as time passed.

He felt that Bei Li must have her own reasons for not telling him everything.

But then, knowing that she had secrets yet he did not know anything about them was making him feel uneasy.

“By the way, since the Demonic God was so powerful, wouldn’t it harm Gu Yu’s soul?” although Bei Li had told him about the mystical qualities of the artifact, Lu Wu could not help worrying about Gu Yu.

“Impossible. The Demonic God’s strength is roughly on par with just a regular deity. Even though it’s not exactly common to see supernatural beings with such strength, there are still a fair number of them around. Anyway, his power is peanuts compared to the power gained from the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so you don’t have to worry at all.”

When he heard that, Lu Wu nodded. Then, he asked, “Also, the Demonic God was chasing after Hiderigami, right? Where is he now?”

Bei Li smiled enigmatically as she said, “That old corpse in the Burial Grounds belongs to the mysterious man who was once hailed as the strongest in Beiqi!”

……

“Kill Hiderigami for me. In return, I will grant you unlimited power!” the Demonic God’s voice echoed in Gu Yu’s mind again.

“Hiderigami? Where is he now?”

Gu Yu had a deep impression of Hiderigami. Hiderigami was over 300 feet tall, and commanded a powerful army of zombies. Although he sustained a powerful blow from the Demonic God that sent him flying, he was somehow still alive.

“He’s right here!”

Just as the Demonic God’s last word fell, a scene appeared in his mind.

The ground was littered with corpses, while large numbers of bones piled up into mountains. There were even the skeletal remains of several gigantic dragons amongst the carnage. This entire place seemed barren and unforgiving to anyone who laid eyes on it.

“He is hiding here. Help me kill him, and I’ll bestow upon you insurmountable power!”

As Gu Yu heard that, his expression became troubled. To be frank, he did not like that Hiderigami guy either. If it was not him, the Demonic God would still be a little kid of the Giant Tribe, living happily ever after.

However, he was aware of Hiderigami’s strength. Even if millions of players tried to rush him at once, they would still be hard-pressed to defeat him.

“I’m not strong enough to go against him,” Gu Yu said honestly.

At this moment, deep underneath the mountain, a pair of evil-looking eyes snapped open. Within the irises, lava and burning flames overlapped, painting a picture of a burning hell.

At the same time, a wave of evil energy exploded from underground, funnelling through the horn to reach the peak of the mountain.

The white-haired old man, who was drinking in his hut, suddenly opened his eyes. Shock colored his face, but he shook his head right after. He picked up his urn of alcohol and continued to enjoy its contents.

“I won’t stop you this time. Let’s hope that you will cease your evil deeds when your obsession is fulfilled.”

At the peak of the mountain, a dense black mist started to form. A pair of red eyes appeared in the mist, shining with a bloody crimson light.

“You can’t do it, but I can!”

Just as the voice echoed, the black mist seemed to turn sentient, driving its way into Gu Yu’s body.

Lu Wu’s heart skipped a beat when he saw that scene.

“Argh!” Gu Yu howled in agony as a wave of negative emotions flooded his mind.

A few moments later…

“Argh!”

The Demonic God was silent for a few beats.

“Why can’t I possess it? Why is your soul attached so stubbornly to your body? Why? I can’t believe this!”

The black mist started to toss and turn inside his body, battering itself against his torso.

“Arghhh! Arghhhhhhhhh!” Gu Yu was still howling pitifully.

After several moments of this, the Demonic God was completely befuddled.

“Argh, my head is about to explode!”

“Cease your whining!”

The Demonic God shouted angrily as the black mist gushed back out of Gu Yu’s body. Its red eyes once again appeared in front of Gu Yu.

“An immovable soul. Which deity are you a descendant of?”

“You piece of shit! I was originally considering how I could seek vengeance for you, but now that’s just wishful thinking! How dare you try to possess my body!?” Gu Yu snapped back angrily as he cradled his aching head.
