Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 248

Chapter 248 Explosive Killing of the Female Imp 2.0 (4.6k, a total of 8k completed today)

 At this moment, the Queen of Hades is in her palace.

Persephone looked at Lorne who was covered in cold sweat, and couldn't help but get up and ask questions in concern.

"What's wrong with you?"

“It's nothing, I just remembered some unhappy past events.”

　　After Lorne hesitated, he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, his eyes twinkling.

The recent smooth sailing did make him a little complacent, and he ignored Athena's increasingly subtle attitude toward him.

It seems that my old sister has probably noticed something.

 Even if not all, then at least 70% to 80%.

But since he didn't tell the truth, it meant that he didn't have to worry about being killed by Athena after his identity and conspiracy against the gods were revealed.

Of course, a few severe beatings are inevitable.

After all, I am holding the banner of Ares Mountain and Hestia. If I am doing trouble outside, the pressure will more or less fall on Athena.

 No wonder I've been so angry lately, it's easy to get angry.

 Invisibly, Lorne felt that his ravaged buttocks began to ache again.

Before he had time to mourn his butt, a slight change in airflow from the closet door behind him brought his consciousness back to reality.

Lorne narrowed his eyes slightly and asked casually.

“Your Highness, Queen of the Underworld, I would like to ask you, your daughter, Princess Melinoe, doesn't seem to have a good relationship with you?”

Persephone nodded slightly and sighed helplessly.

"In recent years, because of her brother Zagreus's incident, I have been immersed in the sadness of the past all day long. I usually ignore the child's feelings and do not care enough about her. It is reasonable for her to have complaints against me."

"Judging from your feelings for Zagreus, how could you not love your own child? I think you must have some compelling reasons for doing this."

Lorne pondered for a moment and then spoke thoughtfully.

"Is it because of your godmother? You are worried that paying too much attention to Princess Melinoe will cause her to be used by Hecate, and she will be involved in the disputes over theocracy and follow the same path as your brother. Or, then A goddess of the underworld will use this to coerce you into doing something you don't want to do and bring greater disaster to the underworld?”

Persephone was stunned for a moment, looked at Lorne in front of her in surprise, nodded slightly and sighed.

"It is helpless to be distant from her. Even if she resents me for this, it doesn't matter. No matter who teaches her or raises her, as long as she can live well, it is more important than anything else."

"But this choice is undoubtedly more painful for a mother. You have lost a beloved child, and the remaining one is all you have..."

Lorne deliberately raised his voice to express his sincere admiration, and at the same time cast a look of pity and respect towards the Queen of Hades.

 Vaguely, the breath in the closet behind him seemed to be much thicker.

Seeing the child in front of her, who understood her painstaking efforts as a mother, Persephone couldn't help but be moved. After a moment of hesitation, she finally made a decision and spoke quietly.

"Since you can understand this, I just have something I want to entrust to you."

 “You mean?”

"Melinoe! I hope you can take this opportunity to take my daughter out of Hades, so that she no longer has to be controlled by Hecate, and she doesn't have to stay in this dark Hades all day like me, and can be free. The earth lives on the earth.”

Persephone looked at Lorne seriously and her voice softened.

　　"If you can, think of her as your sister."

 Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans.

In order to allow her daughter to live an unfettered normal life, the Queen of the Underworld even had a hint of pleading in her expectant eyes.

Lorne nodded without hesitation and made his promise solemnly.

"Okay, I promise you, she will be my sister when we leave Hades..."

“Hey, who wants to be your sister? Stop being so sentimental here!”

At this moment, unbearable, Melinoe dragged his body that was tightly trapped by the spell rope and squeezed out of the closet like a caterpillar. His gray eyes full of hostility stared at Lorne, and his cherry red mouth opened and closed. , spitting out derogatory words in a barrage.

“I don't know where this pretty boy came from. He's not good enough, but he's worthy of being my brother? You still want to take care of me? Haha! I'm warning you to stay away!”

The actions of the princess of the underworld in front of her interpret the classic image of "a rebellious girl who is disgusted by people's venomous tongue".

Instantly, the gentle expression that Lorne tried to maintain in front of the underworld stiffened slightly, his blood pressure soared, and the veins on his forehead popped out.

Immediately afterwards, Melinoe raised her head high, looked at the mother of the Queen of the Underworld who was entrusting her to him, and opened her mouth with another burst of cynicism.

"And you, you and Hades have never cared about me since I was a child, and now you are here to show off? Don't think I will believe anything you say."

At this moment, there was a clicking sound from the cuffs on both sides of Lorne.

 It is hard, the fist is hard.

Lorne came back to his senses, took a deep breath immediately, a "kind" smile appeared on his face, looked at Persephone who looked gloomy, and pointed at the stinky girl opposite, who raised his head like a victorious rooster. My sister asked in an unusually soft tone.

 “Can I hit her?”

Persephone felt a little embarrassed when she heard the question from the other party because she felt sorry for her daughter.

“She was just like you, trying to steal the golden branches from the garden and ran out, and I knocked her out, and she actually killed me directly.”

Lorne unceremoniously complained to the Queen of the Underworld about Melinoe's numerous evil deeds, and then spoke earnestly.

"For your sake, I won't be acquainted with her. But not everyone in this world will let her go. And when she gets to the ground, she will suffer big losses with such a bad character. Don't you think so? If it's convenient for you to teach, or if you can't bear to do it, you might as well let me do it for you.”

 Perceiving the sincerity in those words, Queen Ming could not help but fall into silence.

"Persephone, stop listening to his nonsense and let me go quickly! Otherwise, I will tell Hades and Hecate about your hiding people and see how you end up in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, the Queen of Hades, who showed her gentleness, suddenly had a layer of frost on her face, and she looked faintly at Melinoe, who was shouting.

As a cold wave blew through the room, the princess of the underworld shrank her neck subconsciously.

Seeing her daughter surrender, Persephone looked at Lorne opposite and sighed quietly.

 “I am her mother after all.”

 “Okay then, I...”

 “Take it lightly.”

Lorne, who thought he couldn't kill the female imp, was stunned for a while. After seeing Persephone nod again to confirm, a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, I have never advocated violence. I would like to ask, your garden is so big, and it seems to have a lot of ground animals in it. Are there any sheep?"

With Lorne's assurance, the Queen was completely relieved and smiled slightly.

"have!"

Seeing the eerie outlines of the two figures intertwined in front of her, the goddess of conspiracy on the ground couldn't help but shrink her neck and screamed inwardly.

 “You, what do you want to do? Don't mess around!”

Lorne walked over with his fingers intertwined, his joints crackling, and he reached out to pick up Melinoe. His eyes full of pleasure looked at the princess of the underworld, and a smile spread on his face. It was so bright that it made people feel scared.

 “Silly boy, I am now officially informing you that the good days are over…”

 "Ah hahaha...it's so itchy! Hahahahahaha...don't! don't..."

At night, breathless laughter spread throughout the garden. The tone mixed with trills was full of inexplicable sorrow and indignation.

“She is really going to be fine?” Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, was sitting in front of the stone table in the pavilion. She was a little restless and frequently looked up at Lorne opposite.

“Don't worry, you can hear how happy she is smiling, there must be nothing wrong with her.”

Lorne replied firmly with a smile while sipping the fairy mead in his cup.

 Are you laughing? Why does it feel like I'm crying?

Persephone, although she had some worries, thought of her daughter's bad character and finally chose to let it go.

I seemed to have heard the discussion in the pavilion, and the laughter that broke out in a low cabin suddenly turned into intermittent curses.

"Asshole! Bad... bad guy! Pig... haha... pig! You framed me! Just wait, I won't... let you go! With this level... you can't even think... make me... make me surrender! Hahahaha!"

Lorne's raised corners of his lips curved in pleasure, and he sighed.

“Tsk, tsk, the physical constitution of the gods is different. I have been scolding you for half an hour and you are still so strong. Seeing that you are so energetic, let me punish you for two more hours.”

 Suddenly, the noise of the hut was like a duck being pinched by the neck, and the clamor stopped abruptly.

 "Ahahahaha...wuhaha...despicable...shameless...Persephone...look at him...save me!"

　　For a moment, the voice was trembling out of tune while laughing wildly, accusing someone of bullying and using the best magic weapon for naughty children - calling the parents!

Seeing that Persephone was a little unable to sit still, Lorne smiled to comfort her.

“She used to be lawless, but now she actually knows how to ask you for help. It seems that the admonishment has a good effect.”

When Empress Ming heard this, she was convinced. She immediately patiently picked up the wine glass and drank by herself, letting the wails that sounded like crying and laughing echo around.

"How dare you... do this to me, when I come out, I will not... ahaha... I will not let you go!"

 “That's very brave of you, give me 20 more minutes!”

 "You...wu ha ha...it's so itchy...go away! go away! Wu wu...when I go out, I will stew you all!"

The princess of the underworld, who didn't know what kind of torture she suffered in the house, whimpered breathlessly. Although she didn't show any outward submission, she no longer dared to continue shouting at the devil outside the door, and could only viciously threaten those in the house. Another set of accomplices.

However, under the flickering light, the executioner with devilish horns on the left and right, disheveled hair, weird rectangular pupils, and gray eyeballs, shining dimly in the darkness, only burst out a confused syllable.

 “What?”

 Subsequently, they buried their heads and licked more happily...

Melinoe cried and howled again, both crying and laughing.

Eeyah…

The door opened slightly, and the flickering light shone into the room.

In the dim hut, I saw the arrogant princess of the underworld being firmly tied to a chair by magic chains, her legs were tied straight, and her white feet were dripping with amber honey.

 Two goats tied nearby were chasing the sweet smell, using their rough tongues to lick Melinoe's soles over and over again, greedily asking for the sweetness from above.

 “Hong…”

Under the kind gaze of the lantern holder, Melinoe, who had been holding back a lot of curse words, suddenly got stuck.

Who came up with this method of punishing people? So wicked! The punishments in Tartarus are not so vicious!

Although on the surface Melinoe did not dare to curse anymore, leaving the person in front of her with an excuse to continue to take revenge, the resentment in her heart had already made her curse the smiling **** in front of her.

Similarly, Melinoe, whose eyes almost turned into peaches from crying and who held on strong until the end, naturally did not show a good face. He immediately sniffed his nose and snorted forcefully.

 “Time…time is up, hurry…put me down quickly!”

 “Who said the time is up? There are still two full hours.”

Lorne blinked, shook his head slightly, then caressed the two goats' fluffy heads, slowly took out a jar of amber liquid from his arms, and looked at Melinoe who was tied to the seat with a smile. .

 “I'm worried that there is too little honey and they haven't eaten enough. Come over and brush some more.”

Melinoe's tough and pretty face suddenly turned pale, her skin turned pale, and her body was shaking like chaff. Her eyes gradually filled with tears looked at the instigator in front of her with sorrow and anger, and only one clear word was reflected in her mind. .

 Beasts!

Seeing that the punishment was about to continue, Melinoe, who had suffered enough, no longer dared to put on airs, and immediately let out a humiliating cry.

 “Let me go! I know I was wrong, and I will definitely listen to you in the future.”

“You don't know that you are wrong, you just know that you are afraid.”

Lorne shook his head seriously, patiently smeared honey on his two white feet, and then waved goodbye with an encouraging look.

“There are still two hours left, you must hold on.”

As the door was closed inch by inch, Melinoe, who was still a bit tough at first, heard the "bleating" magic sound, his face turned pale and his eyes were empty.

 Beast!

Immediately afterwards, the mournful screams, like crying and laughing, came from the small dark room again, gradually turning from high-pitched to silent.

The words of the call changed again and again as time went by.

 Fifteen minutes later

 “Asshole…haha…animal…wuwu…I will never let you go…”

 Forty minutes later

“Haha... get away, it's so itchy, so itchy... oooh... Persephone... I can't stand it anymore... Save me, I don't dare anymore, I will listen to you in everything...”

  An hour later.

"Hahahaha... don't... let me out... Wuwuhaha... I know I was wrong... I was wrong... Mother, save me!"

After being tortured for more than an hour, Melinoe's will collapsed, his psychological defenses completely collapsed, and he cried for mercy.

Finally, the soft sound of the door that sounded like the sound of nature reached the ears of the tortured princess of the underworld, causing her empty eyes to shine with a glimmer of brilliance.

Melinoe, who was lying on the corpse, seemed to have been given a shot in the arm, with a strong will to survive bursting out of his eyes.

"Okay, your mother really can't stand seeing you suffer, so let's end today's little game early..."

Muttering something that was still unfinished, the restraints on Melinoe's hands and feet were untied.

Like a frightened quail, the princess of the underworld immediately threw herself into the arms of Persephone, the queen of the underworld, in front of the door.

 Her divine power is now sealed, and only by her mother's side can she have a sense of security.

However, due to the inhumane torture, Melinoe's physical strength had been drained. As soon as she got up, she could not stand firmly, and because her hands and feet were weak, she fell directly to the ground.

 Luckily, the Queen of Hades reached out in time to catch her daughter, saving her from falling.

As he fell into the warm embrace, Melinoe hugged his mother's slender waist and refused to let go. Under the combination of grievances, he couldn't help but burst into tears and cried bitterly.

　Why did you come here, mother!

“Well, if I had been so good earlier, why would I have to suffer like this...”

 Amidst the sound of consolation that contained helplessness and distress, a warm plain hand covered the rebellious girl's head and stroked it gently.

Melinoe paused and wanted to retort, but when he saw a devil on the side who looked half-smiling, he quickly nodded aggrievedly, then closed his eyes and shrank into his mother's arms. Unable to hold on any longer, he fell into a deep sleep. .

 Mother's embrace seems to be warmer than ever before.

 And the sense of security after the ups and downs constantly brewed a strong dependence in her heart, wanting to make this moment stay forever.

This is considered a suspension bridge effect? Contrast effect? Or is it Stockholm Syndrome?

Lorne, who was playing the villain in front of the door, murmured to himself while smiling at the harmonious scene of mother and daughter, and quietly took away the two goats that were well fed and drunk in the house.

　　Amidst the low call, Melinoe, who was huddled in the arms of the Underworld Queen and fell asleep, couldn't help but shiver. The fear of this creature was obviously engraved in her bones.

According to legend, the goat has since become a symbol of the devil in hell. A certain conspiracy goddess likes to use this sweet punishment to torture the souls of sinners.
