Sparking Away from the Devil's Riches Chapter 8

"Swish."

"Swish."

"Swish, swish---"

There was a constant sound of something sweeping the ground. The source of the unconscious sound was sitting cross-legged on a chair typing on the keyboard with an unhappy look on his face.

His short black hair was slightly curled up, and Oliver Cong narrowed his eyes with his mouth drooping. The light from the screen shone on his cold white skin, making the dark circles under his eyes more obvious. The tail that came out from the edge of his wide-leg pants hung down on the ground unhappily, and swept back and forth a little impatiently.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize that his tail was cleaning again. He turned his head, made a "tsk" sound at the small piece of shiny floor, and walked to the bathroom holding his tail.

After a while, the Mason next door finally exchanged glances with each other.

"Didn't you say before that he was having an office romance with the new Gabriel next door? Why, they broke up now?"

"It's a fake melon. It must be a fake melon."

Apparently, Oliver Cong had been working like this most of the time before, but he suddenly felt refreshed after he grew a tail two weeks ago.

His mental state improved for a few days, but then returned to normal.

"Is there something going on?" The man next to him poked his head over to take a look. "It can't be just because Ethan has been away for work lately."

53.

There is no hidden secret, it's simply because Gabriel has been postponing his gym plans every day for the past four days.

But the fact that there was no hidden secret was what made Oliver Cong most angry.

As Gabriel said before, he had been on his own for four days. On the first day, he felt quite comfortable, and no one cared about him secretly reducing his exercise time. Starting from the second day, no one was watching him, and there was no opportunity to dig for information, so he became a little lazy.

Afterwards, it didn't move at all.

Gabriel's apology in the text message was quite sincere. Although she didn't make an appointment with him for the "next time", she seemed to know that he was waiting and would inform him every day of the postponement of the plan.

...and even thoughtfully sent him the address of the gym so that he could go there if he wanted.

Oliver Cong didn't go.

The Gabriel goes to work on time and leaves work on time every day. Yesterday, he couldn't help but secretly follow him again, only to find that Ethan followed the same person from last time.

Once is work, twice, three times, four times is not work, right? He has never heard of such a party A that needs to be connected.

So when he received the news that his workout was postponed again, he couldn't help but reply: [Should we find a time to duel? ]

Then...

And then nothing happened.

54.

How could this happen!

After cleaning up the mess, Oliver Cong walked back to his workstation, his steps getting slower and slower. Finally, he couldn't help but look back, standing on tiptoe to take a peek at Gabriel's office from a distance.

Well, it's normal with the door closed, so you can't see anything.

He still hasn't received a reply to the message he sent - of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the Gabriel was overjoyed after seeing this and treated him magnanimously for his voluntary act of giving away a head - after all, he really had no chance of winning.

But at least we should respond to him positively, right? !

Oliver Cong was depressed. He went back and sat down, and began to remain motionless again.

He worked with a vengeance, and began to imagine the happy moment when the Gabriel would no longer have time to care about him and he would instantly fly away after exchanging the lottery ticket.

If you don't want to come back, then don't come back. Go and make peace with others who are the best in the world! Anyway, Oliver Cong already has a lottery ticket. There is nothing more trustworthy than Mane in this world.

Today Oliver Cong decided not to wait for the Gabriel at all and leave work immediately.

However, what he didn't expect was that he received a reply text message from the other party when he got off work today.

[After get off work, come to this address.] And attach a location.

Oliver Cong sneered and immediately put the phone back into his pocket - who does he think he is? He goes when he is told to go, does he treat him like a puppy that comes whenever he is called?

55.

Oliver Cong left.

I started to regret as I was walking there. What on earth was I thinking? Why didn't I just wait for the lottery draw? Why did I have to start a fight? Now I can't even run away.

This regret reached its peak when the map showed that we had arrived at the location.

Gabriel didn't even plan to have a few final words with him. The relationship they had maintained after working out together every day for more than a week was all in tatters.

In Oliver Cong's eyes, the sky was completely covered by several azure eyeballs. On the huge body of the Gabriel, four different faces could be vaguely seen. Not only human, but also eagle, lion --- when Oliver Cong approached, some eyes looked at him at the same time, bringing shock and fear far beyond his acceptance.

Oliver Cong really wanted to pinch his muscles to judge how well he had exercised recently and how many seconds he could survive.

Human strength is immeasurable, and he slid over in his mind and threw the Cherubim down from behind.

But in reality, his body was so stiff that he couldn't move at all, and he could only watch as one of the fingers stretched out in front of him.

There was no doubt that this was a real intention to destroy him.

Even if we don't want to destroy him, we must be serious about destroying the demon in him.

A ray of light penetrated the clouds and rushed down. At this moment, Oliver Cong could actually feel goose bumps on his feet. He was almost driven by the desire to survive. He pushed the ground hard with his legs and jumped to the side.

The light rubbed against the calf, and a layer of black mist of unknown origin evaporated instantly.

"Hiss---" Oliver Cong burst into tears in pain, and almost thought his leg was broken. He looked down and saw that nothing was wrong, with his skin still smooth and intact.

"Wait, wait, even if you really want to destroy the demon, can't you be gentle?!" He hugged his calf and rubbed it hard, groaning in pain: "It hurts!"

However, the Gabriel seemed not to understand what he said. Seeing him dodge, he was quite confused. He pressed him with a few fingers and started over again without saying a word.

"No, wait a minute, wait a minute---I said it hurts?" Oliver Cong was pressed to the ground by several huge fingers, and his tail kept flapping and struggling: "Suspend today! No more fighting! NO!"

But the daylight had fallen again.

56.

Oliver Cong almost thought he was going to die.

"Brother, what's going on?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside his ear. Oliver Cong's tail trembled and hit his thigh.

The big-chested demon with red peppers peeked out from the ground, his expression not very good: "I have to warn you if you do this, you just signed the contract and you're already hooking up with the Gabriel, and you're being cornered by the Gabriel just when you're starting to make some progress?"

Oliver Cong's eyes widened and he turned his head suddenly.

The devil looked into his eyes, with big question marks in his big eyes.

"No, where is this?" asked the devil.

The next moment, Oliver Cong grabbed his face and pulled him out of the darkness.

"Brother! Brother, save me first!" he said in a broken voice.

The falling light enveloped them directly. Amid the demon's squeaking and howling, Oliver Cong was lucky enough to hide most of his body in the demon's shadow.

"I'm sorry, buddy! You have big muscles, you hold on first!" Oliver Cong said as he tried to sneak out. At this critical moment, the desire to survive drove him to hold on to a nearby tree and climb up. He was still muttering nervously: "There is no way, buddy, I will come back to save you when I become rich... It's your fault that you spread the pyramid scheme to me, I'm unlucky, you as the upline should always take some responsibility..."

The Gabriel seemed to be getting impatient as the demon uttered a long string of curse words. He pinched the red pepper demon away, spread his two fingers, and carefully fixed the small man on the tree.

Oliver Cong struggled for a moment, and finally accepted his fate. He closed his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, then hurry up. Don't you have any painless technology? Painless salvation, painless exorcism, painless---"

"Why do you keep hiding?"

A voice suddenly appeared in Oliver Cong's mind, and he was stunned.

Um?

This voice seems... not Ethan?

The voice was silent for a moment, then asked, "You sent this message to ask for the evil spirit to be removed, didn't you?"

Oliver Cong:...

"No, who are you?" Oliver Cong was stunned.

His eyes widened: "I sent the message to the wrong person?!"

"No," the Gabriel replied.

The other party's strength weakened a little. Oliver Cong didn't dare to get down from the tree. He tried so hard that his eyes narrowed. He exerted force with his thighs and actually jumped up a little further.

He clung to the tree branch and shouted to the Gabriel: "There is a misunderstanding! You first, you first go back and behave like a human being---"

It looks just like a small animal that has climbed up and can't get down, and is trying hard to breathe out.

The other party thought for a moment.

The next time he blinked, the terrifying illusions in front of him disappeared. Only a man in a white suit was left under the tree, with his hands in his pockets, looking at him coldly.

Looks very familiar.

Oliver Cong recognized him immediately. This was the man he met last time Ethan stood him up.

"You, you you...you and Ethan, are, Mason?" he stammered.

No, they are all Gabriel, so they should be considered Mason? He is Ethan's real Mason. Oliver Cong became more talkative when he got nervous. He thought about it and changed the word: "Uh, the same kind? The same race? Companions? The same---"

"He is going back soon, and I am here to take over this area." the other party said.

It turns out he is the successor.

Although they were all Gabriel, the successor didn't seem to have a very good temper. He stepped on the butt of the red pepper demon lying on the ground with his heels, and glanced at him sideways, as if Oliver Cong had done something unforgivable.

"How long will it take you to get down from that tree?"

57.

It is known that Gabriel need to abandon their bodies on earth to return.

It is known that the content of Ethan's previous deal with him was that he would steal and damage public property so that the Gabriel could use the excuse to go back for vacation.

It is known that Ethan has expressed his intention to return soon.

From this, it can be concluded that this Gabriel really trusts him to destroy the body in the near future...

...impossible.

Oliver Cong didn't believe himself, so he dared to think about this beautiful thing in his heart. He asked tentatively: "So he has been looking for a way to go back recently? That's why he hasn't come to see me?"

The successor Gabriel seemed to hate something about him. Since notifying Ethan to come over, he has always kept a distance from him and did not approach him. He said: "Yes, I also told him that I could help him, but he refused."

Oliver Cong hummed and whispered: "After all, that's my mission."

"You?" The successor Gabriel glanced at him and concluded lightly: "No way."

Oliver Cong: ...

Oliver Cong asked politely: "Has Ethan ever given you any advice, asking you to think before you speak, since you are an Gabriel after all?"

58.

The Gabriel in the white suit raised his head: "Did he ever give you any advice, not to talk to others while lying on a tree?"

"Also, you'd better be purified by me now, otherwise you will suffer a lot when Ethan returns."
