Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 249

Chapter 249 I still prefer you to be unruly and unruly (4.7k)

 Underworld, early morning.

　　The melodious and melodious chirping of birds entered the bedroom through the carved window lattice. Lorne stretched out comfortably on the bed, opened his eyes, and woke up from his meditation.

Getting out of bed, opening the curtains and windows, the fragrant smell of earth and the breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers blow into your face, which is refreshing. The lush and elegant garden in front of you makes it difficult to believe that you are in the dark and dark Hades.

However, once the gaze goes beyond the green shade at the edge, the gray and dead nature will flood into the eyes again.

To put it bluntly, the garden in front of you, no matter how beautiful it is, is just an exquisite birdcage, and Persephone, the queen of the underworld, is the canary trapped in it.

 But birds are born to belong to the sky.

Although she has broken free from the shackles on her body and cannot take off again, she does not want her daughter to follow in her footsteps and spend the rest of her life in the dark underground Hades.

Just as the deeply touched Lorne sighed secretly, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, and a rebellious girl with pale skin and short black hair got in.

"you…"

"Um?"

 Lorne raised his eyebrows, turned around and cast a dark look at the person coming.

 Suddenly, the once arrogant Princess Melinoe of the Underworld shrank her neck, like a mouse seeing a cat. She hurriedly lowered her head and changed her words, calling out a somewhat unfamiliar name.

 “Brother…brother…”

“Well, remember to call me that when you go out.”

Hearing the voice that was reluctant but still shouted out, Lorne nodded with satisfaction and advised in a deep voice with the tone of someone who had been through it.

"Don't think that I am taking advantage of you. This is for your own good. Escape from Hades is only the first step, and it is a relatively simple step. The difficult thing is how to avoid being caught after escaping. If you want to live freely on earth Today, you must learn to forget your identity as the princess of the underworld and live a low-key life. Otherwise, Sisyphus, who ran away three times and was thrown back into Tartarus to serve his sentence, is your example."

"oh…"

Melinoe nodded quickly, acting like a good boy who was open-minded and willing to be taught.

 Lorne glanced at the good baby in front of him, his eyes fell on her feet, and he spoke quietly.

"Besides, what else have I taught you? When you come in, you have to knock on the door first."

Hearing this, Melinoe hurriedly returned to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door panel. After receiving permission, he held his throat and asked in a low voice.

"If you get up, do you want to have breakfast together? Brother? Mother made it with her own hands."

“Well, you go ahead and I'll be right there after changing my clothes.”

 He glanced at the conspiracy goddess outside the door who was being subdued by him, and nodded and waved with satisfaction.

After receiving the exact reply, Melinoe carefully closed the door, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and shook his fist fiercely in the air.

 There was no other way. During his previous heyday, he tried his best to defeat the opponent, but he was also severely repaired.

Not to mention that now, his divine power has been sealed, the artifact [the Talisman that breaks all laws] has been confiscated, and even his mother Persephone is standing behind that guy to support him.

 The situation is stronger than the person, so you have to bow your head when you should.

Of course, according to Melinoe's temper, it is not that she has never tried to resist and retaliate.

For example, after being brutally tortured by a goat, she took advantage of the dark night and high wind to enter someone's bedroom with a knife, ready to stab him several times to vent her anger.

As a result, a certain insidious guy was well prepared. Not only did he arrest her directly to prove the evidence, but he also took the Queen of Hades to hide in the dark as a witness.

From then on, Persephone, who was extremely disappointed with her, turned into a stepmother. She ignored her biological daughter and instead fully supported the outsider.

Just like that, as soon as she got out of bed, she was thrown into a small dark room to feed sheep, and she finished the remaining one hour of cruel punishment with tears and fuss.

Melinoe was of course dissatisfied with the repeated setbacks. After recuperating, he regained his strength and launched his revenge again.

 And that time, she learned from the painful experience and killed all the sheep in the garden first, thinking that even if she failed, she would not continue to be beaten by the sheep.

However, she originally thought that the goat punishment was the limit of this guy's inhumanity, but she found that the other person could be even worse than a beast.

 —Water drop punishment.

During this punishment, the victim's body was restrained and his head was fixed. The water droplets fell on the same position every time. The cold water made the forehead become colder and colder, and the body temperature was slowly lost. Especially when you blindfold your eyes, everything is dark. There is only the victim in the closed room, and the only sound you hear is the sound of water dripping on your forehead. The dark and quiet environment, the maddening confinement and the attention-grabbing drops of water are both physical and psychological torture.

 —Coffin punishment.

The length, width and height of the coffin are just over one meter or less, and are only large enough for an adult to sit hunched over or lie curled up like a baby. It is filled with gel that fixes the human body, allowing the victim to maintain a specific posture without being able to make any action. After closing the coffin and burying it in the soil, there was no light around, and there was no sound. It was so quiet that you could hear your own heartbeat. However, the body that had been given the protection was so awake that you could clearly feel the flow of time every second. And the loneliness that is more terrible than death.

With her mother's indulgence and even cooperation, a certain **** continued to fish and enforce the law on her, and then lured her to take the bait and make mistakes, and then tortured her over and over again with these even more inappropriate punishments, which he called "Personality" educate】.

Even later, the **** actually wanted to use ants instead of goats to taste the sweetness of honey...

However, before he could hold on to that moment, Melinoe became completely honest. After enjoying a punishment, he burst into the Queen's bedroom crying, begging his mother for protection, and swore to the Styx River, Never dare to take revenge on some **** again.

 Since then, the two sides have officially made peace.

 Lorn, who was entrusted by the Queen of the Underworld, also began to give Melinoe some special training to integrate into human life.

　　The princess of the underworld, whose temper had been almost wiped out, could only nod obediently.

 And after a short period of teaching, Lorne's education has begun to bear fruit.

At least, after Melinoe suffered enough, she is no longer as unscrupulous and lawless as before, for fear that her enemies will not know that she wants to deliberately retaliate.

 Now she finally looks like a conspiracy goddess, knowing how to be patient and disguised.

Conspiracy operates in the dark, and under chaos, the more blatant it is, the easier it is for the plot to be exposed and backfire.

Melinoe has learned lessons with blood and tears in exchange for this valuable experience.

Although the seal was still not broken, she vaguely felt that she had a deeper integration with the divinity of the goddess of conspiracy in her body.

This is why Melinoe, who has suffered many losses, is willing to look down and make peace with a certain culprit.

Of course, it is only temporary. She is the goddess in charge of intrigues, and she is not a benevolent and loving saint.

 You have to take revenge when you have the chance. When you fall into my hands, it will be easy for you!

In the joy of spiritual victory, Melinoe raised the corners of his mouth grimly, with a malicious sneer on his face.

 “What are you thinking about? Are you smiling so happily?”

 The faint question in his ear instantly brought the conspiracy goddess from her reverie back to reality.

Seeing the half-smiling face in front of the door, Melinoe couldn't help but shuddered, and tried hard to squeeze out an innocent and pure smile on his green face.

“Of course it's rare to have dinner with you, I'm so happy, brother...”

Lorne nodded and commented with a warm smile: "Yes, the response is very fast. But the reason is too fake and the expression is not natural. Next time when you think about something unhealthy, pay attention to your surroundings."

When Melinoe heard this, the cold sweat that had just been wiped off his forehead suddenly appeared again in a thin layer, and his dry throat couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.

 Damn it, you were discovered, you won't be thrown into the dark room again tonight, right?

Just when the goddess of conspiracy was feeling upset, a hand gently patted her slightly trembling shoulder, and a faint groan came from her ears.

“Threats are the stupidest form of self-exposure, and releasing anger without thinking is the most dangerous form of willfulness. Therefore, before you are able to solve the problem, never let others easily know what you are thinking, especially your enemies.”

Lorne shook his head teasingly and flicked his fingers forward.

"It's a bit too impatient to scratch someone even before your claws are fully grown. If you want to be a conspiracy goddess, you must first learn to control your expressions, my dear sister..." "Woo~"

Melinoe covered his forehead that was hit, squatted on the ground and groaned in pain.

 It wasn't until Lorne's figure walked out of the corridor that she carefully put down her hand. The exaggerated pain on her face disappeared and turned into a look of confusion.

This guy transitioned today? You didn't take the opportunity to retaliate against me?

However, what he said sounded quite reasonable.

 “Don't let others know what you are thinking, especially your enemies…”

Melinoe murmured and stood up, stretched out his hands to rub his stiff cheeks, then showed a sweet and bright smile, trotting forward and waving.

 “Brother, wait for me!”

As Lorne heard the sound and stopped, Melinoe immediately put his hand into Lorne's arm, and walked side by side into the living room while shaking the "brother"'s body.

At this time, Persephone, who was putting more than a dozen plates of food on the table, raised her head and saw the two brothers and sisters entering the door together, and couldn't help but be slightly startled.

"you…"

 “Mother, hurry up and start eating, I'm almost starving to death.”

Melinoe stepped forward and took the initiative to help, took a plate of food from the Queen of Hades and placed it on the table, smiling coquettishly.

Lorne opened the table and chairs aside, placed the tableware, and smiled in agreement.

“Me too, I have had the rare opportunity to eat the snacks and meals you made in the past few days.”

"It's not because those old guys under Tartarus don't want to stop. Otherwise, I would rather stay in the garden and cook for you every day."

Persephone subconsciously took over the words and looked lovingly at the harmonious pair of children in front of her, as if feeling the atmosphere of the "home" she had dreamed of.

 Family?

A bright smile appeared on the beautiful face of the Queen of the Underworld, and she affectionately invited Lorne and Melinoe to sit down next to her, and kept picking up vegetables and rice for the two of them.

 The mountains of food on the plate seemed to be the guilt and lack of care she had accumulated for her children over the years.

“Eat, you guys eat quickly, there is mushroom soup in the kitchen, I'll bring it to you.”

 Looking at Persephone who was busy and unwilling to stop for a moment, and Melinoe who was just trying to pretend with a "fun" attitude, she couldn't help but feel complicated emotions in her heart.

Lorne on the side saw the changes in Melinoe's expression, swallowed the food he was chewing, and smiled slightly.

“It can be seen that mother really loves you.”

Melinoe came back to his senses and rolled his eyes at Lorne unceremoniously.

“That's my mother, what does it have to do with you? Stop trying to get involved here!”

“Just now, I thought my elder brother was better than my younger brother. I'm so sad that I don't admit it so quickly.”

Lorne stroked his chest and put on a resentful look, then pointed at the busy Queen of Hades in the kitchen and spoke with a smile.

"But it doesn't matter. Even if you don't admit it, Lord Underworld will agree. She really wants me to call her mother from now on."

With his mother by his side, Melinoe, who had gained some confidence, was about to stand up and scold some shameless guy.

Unexpectedly, a meaningful whisper came: "Eat well, this may be the last meal between you."

"What do you mean?" Melinoe was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

“Your lessons are over, and the unrest in Tartarus has basically subsided. It's almost time for us to leave.”

 Lorne swallowed a piece of lamb chop, wiped his mouth gracefully, and spoke quietly.

“If you don't want to disappoint her and don't want to be [re-educated], then play out this scene with me.”

After hearing this, Melinoe's face felt uncertain for a while, then he nodded slightly to show his cooperation.

 I just don't know whether she cares about the relationship between mother and daughter, or is afraid of the power of [re-education].

 Or, both?

Lorne shook his head, put down his fork, and faced Persephone in the kitchen with a friendly smile on his face.

 “Come, let me help you.”

 “Mother, I'm coming too!”

As if to compete for favor or out of anger, Melinoe shouted louder, rushed ahead, grabbed the soup pot, brought it to the dining table, and quickly filled a bowl for himself and Persephone.

When it was Lorn's turn, she hesitated for a moment. Finally, under someone's half-smiling gaze, she bit her silver teeth, squeezed out a bright smile from her face, scooped out a full spoonful of thick soup, and brought it to Lorn. in the bowl.

 “Brother, this is for you, eat more.”

Lorne lowered his eyes and looked at the ingredients package and a few boiled vegetable leaves that took up most of the space in the bowl, and his face turned dark.

This stinky sister really needs to be dealt with.

Lorne remained calm on the surface, picked up the soup bowl, put on a warm smile, and continued to enjoy this special family banquet.

It's just that the eyes that occasionally looked at Melinoe were filled with a deep sense of gloom.

　　The days are long, and when you get to the ground, no one will protect you. It will be up to you whether you cry to death or not.

As if feeling an invisible chill, the conspiracy goddess next to her shrank her neck, then restrained herself a lot, and patiently created a harmonious family atmosphere of a loving mother, a filial son, and respectful brothers and sisters.

Looking at Melinoe's poor acting skills and the rambling talk behind the scenes, hoping that her mother can help her unlock her own seal and take back the initiative, the more the melon-eating Lorne observed, the more interesting it became.

At this moment, he probably understood what it felt like when Athena abused him.

 It's great to crush the game.

Not only the abuse in battle, but also the teasing of IQ.

 Finally, after finishing the family dinner heartily, Lorne put down the tableware, looked at Persephone seriously, and got down to business.

“I've been bothering you for so long, let's count the time and it's time for us to set off.”

Queen Ming's heart trembled, and although her eyes were reluctant to leave, she finally nodded lightly.

There is no such thing as a banquet. The turmoil in Tartarus is almost over, and it is not safe for them to stay.

"But before I leave, I have some questions that I need to ask you for advice."

Lorne thought for a moment, looked at Ming Queen who nodded and listened, and asked Youyou about the confusion that had been pressing in her heart for a long time.

"Since the three goddesses of destiny, who represented [inevitability], had already won the last conflict of fate, why didn't they pursue the victory, completely devour Hecate, and give this threat such authority and courtesy? It can't be that **** king. Your Majesty, do you remember the kindness of Nicks in your upbringing?"

“If this were the case, the god-king would not have skinned and cut off the horns of his nursing goat Amalthea to make the [Aegis Shield] and the [Horn of Plenty].”

Persephone sneered angrily, then thought for a moment and spoke in a deep voice.

"As far as I know, it seems that my godmother holds a vital secret that even Zeus and the three goddesses of fate dare not touch."

 “What secret?”

“I don't know the specifics, but it seems to be related to [Elysium].”

 Hearing the answer from the Queen of Hades, Lorne's eyes flickered and he murmured.

 …The Elysée Garden again?
