#1800 - The cost of management!
“What the hell is this Hong Lin Map?” Ji Dongfeng entered the Skin Sac Hall and didn't rush to sit on the throne. Instead, he looked at the Hong Lin Map behind it.
This Hong Lin Map was extremely strange. It looked completely black, and one could only vaguely see patches of dense light spots. These light spots were divided into two colors: white and red.
Hearing this, Luo Ying chuckled and said, “My Lord, this map shows the current state of all the Hong Trees in the Hong Forest. White indicates that the Hong Tree is still relatively normal, while red indicates that the Hong Tree has been completely controlled by the filth. The areas without light spots indicate that the Hong Tree has already been destroyed.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Dongfeng's expression changed slightly. He stared at the Hong Lin Map for a while, eventually discovering that nearly half of the area on the map had no light spots, and in the remaining area, the number of red light spots slightly exceeded the white ones.
“Initially, this Hong Lin Map was full of dense white light spots. Its development to this point is truly lamentable,” Luo Ying sighed.
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng raised an eyebrow and said, “So, this Skin Sac Hong Tree can observe the situation of the Hong Forest in real-time?”
“That's right. After you completely become the manager, you can grasp the entire situation of the Hong Forest,” Luo Ying smiled.
“Now, please sit on the throne. As long as you sit on it, you can officially become the manager of the Skin Sac Hong Tree.”
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred, and he said, “You seem to be eagerly waiting for me to become this manager.”
“The Skin Sac Hong Tree is currently a bit chaotic. It's a good thing to have a reliable manager as soon as possible,” Luo Ying smiled.
“First, tell me, what benefits can I get after becoming the manager, and what price do I have to pay?” Ji Dongfeng asked.
Hearing this, Luo Ying pondered for a moment and said, “There are many benefits. Besides being able to control the creatures of the Skin Sac Hong Tree, you can also understand the situation of the surface world at all times. More importantly, your own strength will be blessed by the entire Skin Sac Hong Tree, greatly enhancing your power…”
“As for what you need to pay, in my opinion, it's not worth mentioning. After becoming the manager, you won't be able to leave the Skin Sac Hong Tree…”
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng's expression darkened, and he said coldly, “What the hell? Say that again. Can't leave? What do you mean, can't leave?”
“After becoming the manager, you will be completely bound to the Skin Sac Hong Tree, sharing its glory and suffering its losses. No matter what spells or treasures you use, you won't be able to leave here. In my opinion, this is nothing at all. The Skin Sac Hong Tree is an extremely wonderful place. Since you've come, why would you want to leave?” Luo Ying smiled.
“Boom!”
As soon as the words fell, the hall trembled slightly, and a series of light screens appeared behind Luo Ying. Smiling faces appeared on the light screens. These smiling faces were all creatures who were hopelessly addicted to the Skin Sac Hong Tree. However, in Ji Dongfeng's view, these so-called smiling faces were just the smiles of the skin sac.
“My Lord, look, these creatures, no matter where they come from, no matter why they came here, are now reaping true happiness!” Luo Ying laughed loudly.
“Boom!”
In the next moment, the scenes on the light screen kept changing. Some creatures were engaged in joyful acts, while others cultivated the heart of slaughter.
“Here, you can do whatever you want, completely forget the past, and embrace a new self! No one will point fingers at you anymore, and no one can put pressure on you anymore. Everything here is wonderful!”
“In addition, there are many mysteries within this Skin Sac Hong Tree. There is a place that transcends time, where you can forget time, one second equals a hundred years, go to the future, return to the past, all as you wish.”
“There is a comforting place that allows people to be close to the laws, where you can feel the joy of the perfection of various laws at any time. Although this perfection is just an illusion, it can bring you lasting joy.”
“Who cares about truth or falsehood? Pleasure is the most important thing.”
As he spoke, the light screen kept changing, and rays of various colors fell on Ji Dongfeng, truly creating a scene of decadent indulgence.
“My Lord, please sit!” Luo Ying laughed loudly.
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng sneered and said, “Sit your ××!”
As soon as the words fell, Ji Dongfeng directly ignored the light screen and strode towards the exit of the Skin Sac Hall.
Seeing this, Luo Ying chuckled and waved his hand. The creatures of the guard group immediately blocked Ji Dongfeng's path.
Seeing this, Ji Dongfeng sneered and said, “What? You want to forcibly stop me? One second you were calling me 'My Lord,' and the next second you're going to commit an act of disrespect?”
Hearing this, Luo Ying smiled slightly and said, “If you sit on the throne, you will naturally be our Lord, but if you want to leave, then you are ignoring the mission given to you by the Skin Sac Map, so we can only force you to accept this mission.”
“Mission? This is supposed to be a mission? Get out of my way. I don't want this throne, and I don't want this skin sac either,” Ji Dongfeng said coldly.
As soon as the words fell, Ji Dongfeng moved his mind, wanting to take off the skin sac, but then found that the skin sac was unresponsive, still tightly attached to his body, and even had a tendency to restrict his movements.
Seeing this, Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly, flicked his wrist, and the Ruyi Cudgel transformed from the Bige Crazy Saber followed suit, trembling slightly. However, in the end, it only trembled twice. The skin sac of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven had become a shackle at this moment, restricting all of Ji Dongfeng's movements.
“This skin sac is indeed strange!” Ying Long said in a deep voice.
“Let me out,” Qingfeng said.
“Hahahaha, my Lord, you should accept your fate. This mission is something that ordinary creatures can't even ask for. This is the will of the Hong Lord, and you have no choice,” Luo Ying said, discovering this. He gently tapped his finger, and the throne not far away actively flew towards Ji Dongfeng.
Seeing this, Ji Dongfeng said coldly, “This so-called Skin Sac Map is just a scam. Why did you lure me here?”
Hearing this, Luo Ying smiled and said, “Scam? How is this a scam? I just said that all of this is the will of the Hong Lord, and you came here voluntarily. I think from beginning to end, no one should have forced you.”
“Here, you can obtain supreme joy, and you are the master here. Although you can't leave, what's so good about the outside world? The outside world is full of darkness. In my opinion, it's not as good as here.”
“If you're worried about your family and friends, I can help you bring them all here, so that they don't have to fight and kill anymore and can just enjoy pleasure.”
As he spoke, the throne came behind Ji Dongfeng, and the skin sac controlled Ji Dongfeng's body, slowly sitting down.
“Damn it! I can't sit down! I definitely can't sit down!” Ji Dongfeng said through gritted teeth. Then, he moved his mind and found that although he couldn't control the skin sac, he could control the methods that the skin sac had given him.
Break the Buddha!
