48 Hours a Day

Chapter 1345: A Pity

“Are you going to tell the organizing committee about me?”Zhang Heng asked.

Miss Succubus didn’t answer the question. Instead, she asked, “Have you found a solution?”

“Not yet.”

“Then how much time do you have left?”

“About a week or two. Of course, if you’re willing to help me, I might be able to last a little longer,”Zhang Heng said.

Miss Succubus frowned. “You asked me before if I could give you a sex dream. Are you trying to use it to block master laraya’s mental attack?”

“That’s right.”

“To be honest, I don’t think it’ll have much of an effect. The difference in power between us... is simply too great.”

“It’s fine. I’m just trying it out anyway.”Zhang Heng remained calm.

However, Miss Succubus looked a little annoyed. She took out her cigarette case and lit one. The waiter at the side seemed to want to remind her that there was no smoking in this place, but after she glanced at him, he pulled back.

“Sage said that you only have one option left. Fortunately, a small fry like me isn’t qualified to trade with you. Otherwise, I would have been afraid that you would have tied me up.”Miss Succubus took a puff of her cigarette and smiled self-deprecatingly.

“Didn’t Sage also say that you can only trade blood if both parties are willing?”

“Then, do you have a goal?”To be honest, even miss succubus felt ridiculous after asking this question. How could there be a god in this world willing to sacrifice his own power to save an unrelated mortal, furthermore, it was at this crucial moment when the new God and the old God were at war. Didn’t you see how strong Thor and Cupid were? The latter had no choice but to find a place to live in seclusion.

Every bit of power was extremely precious at a time like this.

However, to her surprise, Zhang Heng said, “I know someone who might be willing to exchange blood with me.”

“Who?”

“An old friend who has known me since a very young age. He always prided himself as my guardian angel and has been silently protecting me from behind,”Zhang Heng said.

“So... Do you want me to help you find Him?”Miss Succubus perked up.

“There’s no need. He’ll come to me when I need him.”

“Then we’ll just have to wait for him?”Miss Succubus heaved a sigh of relief before asking again, “He won’t encounter any trouble along the way like Cupid did, right? By the way, the war between the old and New Gods has already begun. It’s not safe anywhere.”

“With his strength and intelligence, I don’t think anyone can threaten him,”Zhang Heng said. Then, he looked into Miss Succubus’eyes. “You haven’t answered my question.”

“What question?”

“Are you going to report me to the organizing committee?”

“If Gaime were still around, I’d most likely do that.”Miss Succubus took a deep drag on her cigarette, “You don’t understand the organizing committee. Although there are many departments in the organizing committee, and even many new and Old Gods are working there, the only one who can put them together and work well is GAIME. Don’t look at him as someone who rarely shows up to take care of things. It seems like the organizing committee can continue to operate without him. However, this is just an illusion. Once the news of his disappearance is known by all the gods, it’s only a matter of time before the organizing committee splits up. Who knows what big things might happen in the future?”

Miss Succubus sighed, “I’ll stay with you for the time being. No matter what, it’s safer than being alone with me. But if you really can’t take it anymore, remember to let me know in advance so that I can run away. I don’t want to be the first person to witness the lord of Lalaiya’s return to the light of day. I really can’t enjoy such an honor.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve said it before. I Won’t implicate you,”Zhang Heng said calmly.

Sex and the city bar.

In the lounge on the second floor, the bartender was wearing a qipao for the first time today. She wasn’t hiding behind the bar counter, flipping through her comics or catching up on her drama. Instead, she was wiping every single glass seriously for the first time ever, after putting away the tools she used to make drinks, she turned back to look at the place where she had been working for almost a year and threw a key on the bar counter.

At this moment, the door of the lounge was pushed open from the outside and a figure walked in.

The bartender did not turn back, but as if she knew who the person was, she said calmly, “You came later than I expected.”

“But no matter what, I finally made it in time to send you off, didn’t I?”The person said, “After today, you can be free. From now on, you don’t have to be a receptionist here anymore. To be honest, with your temper, I didn’t think that you could really stay here for such a long time.”

“It’s worth it,”the bartender said solemnly, “I’ve finally gotten what I’ve always dreamed of. This day is coming, and it will return to this land. At that time, both the new and Old Gods will be shrouded in fear of it.”

“That’s right, it sounds very exciting,”the person agreed. “I can’t wait to see this scene too.”

However, upon hearing his words, the bartender merely sneered, “Forget it, Chronos. Do you really think that I will accept all your nonsense? “I knew that you didn’t have any good intentions from the first day you came to find me. The reason why I didn’t expose your lie is because at least until today, we all want the same thing.”

“The Mighty Hydra, the overlord of the deep sea, has also learned those dirty political tricks and started to play coy with others?”Chronos smiled, “You suddenly don’t trust me. Is it because Nyala TOTIP found you and said something bad about me?”

“Nyala TOTIP did come to find me, but it has nothing to do with her. That guy is as annoying as you. He always thought that he was the smartest person in the room.”

“That’s hard to argue with.”Kronos sighed. “So, does this mean that our cooperation is over?”

“That’s right,”Hydra said straightforwardly. “I was happy to delay it for a few more days if you didn’t come to find me, but since Gaime has gone missing, our cooperation has lost its last reason.”

“You’re going to find him?”

“Yes, there are only a few days left. I don’t want any more accidents to happen. I’ll take him to a safe place and let him finish reading this book.”Hydra waved the “Myth of Cthulhu”in his hand.

“It’s a pity.”Chronos shook his head.

“What’s a pity?”

“I thought that after spending so much time with him, you had some feelings for him. In the end, you just watched as his body was taken by the Master of lalaiye, and you didn’t forget to push him again.”

Hydra was silent for a rare moment, and then she spoke again, “Each of us has a reason to exist. The reason for his existence is to become a vessel for my master, and the reason for my existence is to ensure that this matter can be carried out smoothly. The rest of the matters are based on this.”
