Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 249 I still prefer your unruly side (4.7k)

The underworld, early morning.

The melodious bird calls came into the bedroom through the carved window lattices. Lorne stretched comfortably on the bed, opened his eyes, and woke up from meditation.

He got off the bed, opened the curtains and windows, and the fragrance of the soil and the breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers outside the window blew in his face, which was refreshing. The lush and elegant garden in front of him made it hard to believe that he was in the dark underworld.

However, once his eyes passed the green shade at the edge, the gray and dead nature would re-enter his eyes.

To put it bluntly, this garden in front of him, no matter how beautiful it was, was just an exquisite birdcage, and Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, was the canary kept in it.

But birds are born to belong to the sky.

It was just that the look she occasionally gave Melinoe was filled with a deep gloom.

Not only was she bullying him in battle, she was also teasing him with her intelligence.

On the surface, Lorne remained calm, picked up the soup bowl, smiled warmly, and continued to enjoy this special family dinner.

From then on, Persephone, who was extremely disappointed with her, turned from a biological mother to a stepmother, ignoring her biological daughter and supporting the outsider with all her strength.

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

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

"Just now, I was still calling you brother, but you didn't admit it so quickly. I'm so sad."

Poor parents in the world...

Lorne, who was standing aside, saw the changes in Melinoe's expression, swallowed the food he was chewing, and smiled slightly.

Of course, it was only temporary. She was the goddess of conspiracy and intrigue, not a kind and loving saint.

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

When Melinoe heard this, the cold sweat that had just been wiped off her forehead suddenly appeared again, and her dry throat couldn't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva.

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

"Hmm?"

Melinoe was frustrated repeatedly, and of course she was not convinced. After resting, she cheered up and started revenge again.

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

"Mother, I'm coming too!"

"Besides, what else did I teach you? Knock before you come in."

As Loen stopped at the sound, Melinoe immediately put her hand into Loen's arm, shook half of the "brother's" body and walked into the living room side by side.

This is why Melinoe, who has suffered losses repeatedly, is willing to lose face and make peace with a culprit.

For example, after being tortured by the sheep, she took advantage of the dark night and sneaked into someone's bedroom with a knife, ready to stab him a few times to vent her anger.

This stinky sister really deserves to be punished.

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

However, before he could hold on to that moment, Melinoe was completely honest. After enjoying the punishment, he rushed into the bedroom of the Queen of the Underworld crying, begging his mother for protection, and swore to the Styx River that he would never dare to retaliate against a bastard again.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so happily?"

The food piled up like a mountain on the plate seemed to be the guilt and lack of love she had accumulated for her children over the years.

Lorne shook his head, put down his fork, and smiled kindly, and greeted Persephone in the kitchen.

"Since the three goddesses of fate representing [necessity] have won the last fate disagreement, why didn't they take advantage of the victory and completely devour Hecate, and gave this threat such authority and courtesy? It can't be that the king of gods cares about the grace of Nyx's upbringing, right?"

From then on, the two sides officially made peace.

"Threats are the stupidest self-exposure, and releasing anger without thinking is the most dangerous willful behavior. Therefore, before you are unable to solve the problem, never let others know what you are thinking easily, especially your enemies."

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

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

Or, both?

"Don't let others know what you are thinking, especially your enemies..."

Just like that, she was thrown into the small dark room by that guy to feed the sheep just after getting out of bed, and she cried and made a fuss to enjoy the remaining hour of cruel punishment.

Melinoe nodded quickly, pretending to be a good baby who was willing to learn.

"You..."

Hearing this, Melinoe hurriedly retreated to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and after getting permission, he pinched his throat and asked in a low voice.

Melinoe has exchanged this precious experience for the lesson he learned with blood and tears.

"You..."

Lorne swallowed a piece of lamb chops, wiped his mouth elegantly, and spoke softly.

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

And after a short teaching, Lorne's education has begun to show results.

"If that were true, the God King would not have skinned and folded the horns of his goat Amalthea to make the Aegis Shield and the Horn of Plenty."

"Mother, hurry up and have dinner. I'm starving."

Seeing the half-smiley face in front of the door, Melinoe shuddered, and tried to squeeze out a trace of innocent and pure smile on her immature face.

Damn, I've been discovered. Will I be thrown into the small dark room again tonight?

Just as the conspiracy goddess was annoyed, a hand gently patted her slightly trembling shoulder, and a faint groan came to her ear.

At this moment, he probably understood how Athena abused him back then.

Looking at Melinoe's poor acting skills and her lame rhetoric in front of the Queen of the Underworld, hoping that her mother would help her unlock her own seal and take back the initiative, the more Lorne, who was eating melons, observed and found it more and more interesting.

As a result, a sinister guy was well prepared. He not only caught her directly with solid evidence, but also took the Queen of the Underworld to hide in the dark as a witness.

"Brother... Brother..."

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

Luo En nodded, and commented with a warm smile: "Well, the reaction 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 the surrounding environment."

Melinoe came back to his senses and gave Luo En a blank look without hesitation.

"What do you mean?" Melinoe was slightly stunned and didn't understand what he meant.

At least, after suffering enough, Melinoe is no longer as unscrupulous and lawless as before, fearing that her enemies don't know that she wants to deliberately retaliate.

"Brother, wait for me!"

Although she has broken free from the shackles on her body and can't take off again, she doesn't want her daughter to follow in her footsteps and spend the rest of her life in the dark underground underworld.

Has this guy changed his nature today? Didn't he take the opportunity to retaliate against me?

However, his words sounded quite reasonable.

I just don't know whether she cared about the mother-daughter relationship or was afraid of the power of [re-education].

"We have bothered you for so long. Let's calculate the time. We should also set off."

Not to mention that now, his divine power has been sealed, the artifact [Talisman of Destruction of All Laws] has been confiscated, and even his mother Persephone stands behind that guy to support him.

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

--Water Drop Punishment.

As if to win favor, or as if to be angry, Melinoe shouted louder, rushed to the front, grabbed the soup pot, brought it to the dining table, and quickly served a bowl for herself and Persephone.

Family?

The Queen of the Underworld had a bright smile on her beautiful face. She intimately invited Lorne and Melinoe to sit beside her and kept picking up dishes and serving rice for them.

Of course, according to Melinoe's temper, she had tried to resist and retaliate.

When it was Lorne's turn, she hesitated for a moment, and finally, under someone's half-smiley gaze, she bit her silver teeth, squeezed out a bright smile from her face, scooped out a full spoonful of thick soup, and put it into Lorne's bowl.

"Brother, this is for you, eat more."

Until Lorne walked out of the corridor, she carefully put down her hand, and the exaggerated pain on her face disappeared, turning into a touch of confusion.

"What secret?"

There was no way, she had used all her skills in her heyday, but she couldn't beat the opponent, and was severely beaten.

At this time, Persephone, who was bringing more than a dozen plates of food to the table, looked up and saw the brother and sister who came in together, and she was slightly stunned.

"Well, remember to call me when you go out."

"If you get up, do you want to have breakfast together, brother? Mother made it."

"Eat, eat quickly, there is mushroom soup in the kitchen, I will go and get it."

All good things must come to an end. The turmoil in Tartarus is almost over, and it is not safe to let them stay.

"You have finished your course, and the turmoil in Tartarus has basically subsided. It is almost time for us to leave."

"Well, you go first, I will change my clothes and come."

There is a long way to go. When you get to the ground, no one will protect you. You will cry to death.

The situation is stronger than people, and you have to bow your head when you should.

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

Persephone subconsciously took over the conversation and looked lovingly at the pair of children who got along harmoniously in front of her, as if she felt the atmosphere of the "home" she had dreamed of.

"Me too. I have rarely had the opportunity to eat the snacks and meals you made in the past few days."

During this punishment, the victim's body was tied up and his head was fixed. The water drops fell on the same position every time. The cold water made the forehead colder and colder, and the body temperature slowly lost. Especially when the eyes were blindfolded, everything was dark. The victim was the only one in the closed room, and the only sound he could hear was the sound of water drops falling on the forehead. The dark and quiet environment, the crazy confinement and the water drops that attracted attention were a double torture for the body and mind.

"Oh..."

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

Hearing the voice that was reluctant but finally shouted out, Lorne nodded with satisfaction and advised in a deep voice with the tone of an experienced person.

If you have a chance to take revenge, you must take revenge. When you fall into my hands, you will be in trouble!

In the joy of spiritual victory, Melinoe raised the corner of his mouth grimly, and a malicious sneer appeared on his face.

As if sensing the invisible chill, the conspiracy goddess next to him shrank her neck, and then restrained herself a lot, patiently creating a harmonious family atmosphere with loving mothers and filial sons, and brothers and sisters being friendly.

The conspiracy is carried out in the dark, and in the chaos, the more blatant it is, the easier it is to be exposed and face backlash.

"Don't think I'm taking advantage of you. This is for your own good. Escaping from Hades is only the first step, and it's also a relatively simple step. The hard part is how not to be caught after escaping. If you want to live a carefree life on earth, you must learn to forget your identity as a princess of the underworld and live a low-key life. Otherwise, Sisyphus, who escaped three times and was thrown back into Tartarus to serve his sentence, is your example."

"As far as I know, it seems that it's because my godmother holds a crucial secret, and even Zeus and the three goddesses of fate dare not act rashly."

Finally, after a hearty family dinner, Loen put down the tableware, looked at Persephone seriously, and got to the point.

Loen shook his head jokingly and flicked his fingers forward.

Loen pondered for a moment, looked at the Queen of Hades who nodded and listened, and asked the confusion that had been weighing on his heart for a long time.

——Coffin punishment.

The faint inquiry in the ear instantly brought the goddess of conspiracy back to reality in her reverie.

The length, width and height are all just over one meter or even smaller, just enough for an adult to sit with a hunched back or lie curled up like a baby; the coffin is filled with gel to fix the human body, so that the prisoner maintains a specific posture and cannot make any movements. After the coffin is closed and buried in the soil, there is no light or sound around, and it is so quiet that you can hear your own heartbeat. However, the body that has been given protection is extremely clear, and can clearly feel the speed of time flowing every second, as well as the loneliness that is more terrifying than death.

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

"Of course it's rare to have a meal with you. I'm so happy, brother..."

"It can be seen that mother really loves you."

"But before leaving, I have some questions that I need to ask you."

...

"You want to scratch people before your claws have grown fully. It's a bit too impatient. If you want to be a good goddess of conspiracy, learn to manage your expression first, my dear sister..."

"Woo~"

"That's my mother. What does it have to do with you? Don't make connections here!"

Lorne raised his eyebrows and turned to cast a faint look at the person who came.

"Come, I'll help you."

The Queen of the Underworld trembled in her heart. Although the look in her eyes was reluctant, she finally nodded gently.

After listening, Melinoe's face was uncertain for a while, and she nodded gently to show her cooperation.

With her mother's indulgence and even cooperation, a bastard kept fishing for her, then lured her into making mistakes, and then tortured her again and again with these more inhuman punishments, under the pretext of "personality education".

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

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

Lorne pulled out the tables and chairs, set up the tableware, and smiled in agreement.

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

Melinoe stepped forward and took the initiative to help, took a plate of food from the Queen of the Underworld and put it on the table, smiling and coquettish.

Now she finally looks like a conspiracy goddess, knowing how to endure and disguise.

Although the seal has not been unlocked yet, she vaguely feels that she seems to have a deeper fusion with the divinity of the conspiracy goddess in her body.

Loen lowered his eyes and looked at the seasoning bag and a few pieces of boiled vegetable leaves that took up most of the space in the bowl, and his face darkened.

After getting a definite reply, Melinoe carefully closed the door, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and waved his fist fiercely at the air.

And that time, she learned from her mistakes and took the lead to kill all the sheep in the garden, thinking that even if she failed, she would not continue to be pushed by the sheep.

It's cool to crush the game.

"But it doesn't matter. Even if you don't recognize it, the Queen of the Underworld will agree. She hopes that I will always call her mother in the future."

"I don't know the details, but it seems to be related to [The Land of Bliss]."

Hearing the Queen of the Underworld's answer, Loen's eyes flickered faintly and he murmured.

...Elysian Garden again?
