003
"I! Do you still need to ask who I am? I am the innocent victim who was deceived by you last night and was left in the cold wind for half the night!"
Zhao Kongcheng tightly held Lin Qiye's hand, like a pure-hearted uncle afraid of his boyfriend being taken away by someone else, "Let me tell you, stop pretending here. Today, you definitely can't run away!"
Lin Qiye looked at his locked arm and gave up the futile struggle, looking completely at Zhao Kongcheng's mercy.
"Alright, where do you want to talk?"
"Come with me."
Zhao Kongcheng, holding Lin Qiye's hand, strode off in a direction unknown to others...
When Lin Qiye saw that he was gradually approaching a couples' hotel, his face suddenly changed, and he tried to escape from the scene!
However, Zhao Kongcheng didn't give him the chance at all, firmly dragging him towards the hotel.
"What... what do you want to do? I'm telling you, I have hemorrhoids, don't mess around...!"
"...What's wrong with you guys in high school? Just finding a place to chat."
"Do we need to go to a couples' hotel to chat? Haven't you seen the way people looked at us along the way? I'm so embarrassed!"
"What do you know, this is a safe house. I brought you here for no other reason. Besides, do I look like... like that kind of person?!"
Rolling his eyes, Zhao Kongcheng dragged the struggling Lin Qiye to the front desk, throwing an extremely greasy wink at the stunned female receptionist.
"One dynamic and passionate themed king-size bed room, thank you."
Lin Qiye: ...
The female receptionist stood frozen in place, after a brief moment of brain freeze, she inexplicably became excited!
"Alright, sir, we need your identification, and you, young man, show your ID too."
Forced to hand over their IDs, Lin Qiye looked strangely at the overly excited female receptionist, wondering what BL plot she was imagining...
But it's not her fault. In the middle of the night, a middle-aged man dragging a teenager to a couples' hotel to book a king-sized bed room, in a dynamic 'base' suite, claiming it's for chatting... who would believe that?!
"Here is your room key. Room 3966, wish you both... a pleasant stay!" The receptionist looked at Lin Qiye, who was clearly uncomfortable, with a smile, her eyes almost closed to slits.
Lin Qiye's fist tightened.

"Stop standing there like a fool, come up with me." Zhao Kongcheng pulled Lin Qiye towards the elevator.
After swiping the card and entering the room, Lin Qiye, with his innocent eyes, realized that this was how the wealthy played—indeed, it was quite exciting!
Zhao Kongcheng locked the door behind him, then released Lin Qiye and sat down directly beside the electric bed. His body, stiff all day, finally relaxed.
"Don't be so nervous, we really are just here to chat." Zhao Kongcheng laughed and scolded Lin Qiye, who looked as if he were facing a major enemy.
Lin Qiye sighed and sat on the sofa near the door. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Of course, I want to talk about you."
"Lin Qiye, male, 17 years old, single, height 175, weight..."
"You know I'm not talking about that." Zhao Kongcheng massaged his forehead and pointed to Lin Qiye's eyes. "I'm talking about your eyes."
Lin Qiye fell into silence.
"Have you met Michael?"
Upon hearing this question, Lin Qiye's body trembled slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded gently.
Sure enough, the man in front of him knew a lot of things, and the power behind him... was definitely not simple!
This sentence also revealed an important piece of information to Lin Qiye: that the archangel he had seen ten years ago was none other than the famous Archangel Michael.
Seeing Lin Qiye nod, Zhao Kongcheng finally relaxed, and his gaze towards Lin Qiye gradually became intense.
"Why did He seek you out? What did He say to you? How much of the Forbidden Ruins can you utilize now?"
Zhao Kongcheng's questions came one after another like a rapid-fire barrage. Lin Qiye furrowed his brows slightly and shook his head.
"You have too many questions."
Zhao Kongcheng also realized he was getting carried away and chuckled awkwardly, "Well, of course, you must have a lot of doubts in your mind right now. Let me start by answering them for you. Ask me anything you want to know."
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Qiye stared into Zhao Kongcheng's eyes and asked the first question, "Are the gods in myths really existent in this world?"
"They exist," Zhao Kongcheng answered without hesitation, "but not all gods exist."
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Kongcheng began to ponder, as if figuring out where to start, "What do you think myths are?"
Lin Qiye thought for a moment, "Are they the spiritual sustenance of ancient people? Are they fears and fantasies of unknown powers in nature?"
"You're right," Zhao Kongcheng nodded, "Until a hundred years ago, that's how everyone thought."
"A hundred years ago?"
"That's right. Before that mist appeared, there had never been any trace of gods in this world." Zhao Kongcheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "However, since that mist covered the earth, everything... seemed to have changed.
In September 1922, just a year after the mist appeared, a mist exploration team dispatched by Daxia observed a massive dragon flying slowly in the sky over the Marianas Trench. It was the first time in human history that a mythical creature had been observed.
Through research and verification, it was found that the dragon was Leviathan, the chaotic dragon from the Bible, believed to be a creature created by God. The discovery of this giant dragon directly overturned the beliefs of the Daxia high-ranking officials. They realized that since the onset of this mist, the world had changed drastically.
When the mist first appeared, the whole of Daxia fell into panic. In order to maintain national stability, the results of this exploration were concealed by the high-ranking officials.
As the first mythical creature observed by humans, the Daxia high-ranking officials designated Leviathan, the chaotic dragon, as 001. Subsequent explorations led to the discovery of more mythical creatures, which were then numbered accordingly.
The archangel Michael that you saw is the third mythical creature observed by humans in 1928, designated as 003."
"1928?" Lin Qiye was taken aback. "We didn't even have the technology to land on the moon back then, right? How did they find the archangel on the moon?"
"We didn't find Him. In March 1928, a golden sword aura emanated from the moon, traversed the universe, and flattened a large volcano in North America. It was only then that we realized that there was still a deity on the moon."
"North America? What's there?"
"Afterward, our exploration team spent a year reaching that volcano. In the midst of the ruins, they discovered the sealed deity 004..."
Zhao Kongcheng paused and continued, "The Fallen Angel, Lucifer."
