After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Extra 5.2
Xiaolin was still confused and asked, “What happened after that person fainted?”
Marbas smiled and said, “They were still sent for emergency treatment.”
[Damn, such a convincing emergency]
“Is that real?”
Xiaolin asked instinctively, but his mind had already told him it was probably true.
He had just prepared himself and that was the outcome. If someone unexpectedly made eye contact, they might really end up gone…
Marbas changed the subject. “Just kidding! But if we’re so afraid of Him, the interview will be difficult.”
[Aww, indeed, but I really want to hear Big Brother speak]
[I feel like He must have a magnetic voice]
[The person above has read too many novels, how can anyone in reality have a magnetic voice?]
[I don’t know either, but I feel like when Big Brother speaks there would be thunder and lightning, rumbling sounds]
[Can’t hold it anymore, the person above has too much imagination]
Xiaolin quickly pulled himself together, thought for a few seconds, and asked, “Is Big Brother still here?”
“He just went downstairs, Paimon went with Him.”
[Damn, missed Big Brother!]
Marbas thought, if they continued being so stubborn, they might really get shocked.
There was no help for it, Big Brother had no awareness about this aspect.
In a certain sense, Big Brother was actually quite innocent. His level of denseness was also inherited from their father.
“You can also ask about Big Brother’s matters.”
Marbas introduced, “By the way, Big Brother’s name is Baal.”
“Baal?”
Xiaolin suddenly realized this name was somewhat familiar, feeling like it often appeared in games or anime works.
At the same time, the livestream chat exploded.
[Wait, I just realized, their names seem similar to Solomon’s 72 demons]
[Shocking! Is that true?]
[I just checked, amazing! The order is the same too, just the number is different]
[Shows that dad was scholarly when naming them]
[Person above, this is way too scholarly, but somehow it really suits them…]
Xiaolin finally organized his thoughts and continued the interview. “Does Big Brother Baal go out often?”
Marbas answered, “He rarely goes out while here.”
“While here?”
Xiaolin caught another story lead.
Marbas explained, “Recently, how should I say it, because we finally got reunited as a family, we all cherish this time together and prefer staying at home.”
“Finally?”
[Ah… feels like there are tears coming]
[Brother Marbas’s expression seems a bit sad]
“Yes.”
Marbas lowered his head, “After Father had an accident, we were scattered for many years, separated. Only after Father finally came back could we live together again like today.”
[Ah, so they were all separated before?]
[When a family finally reunites, they’d naturally want to live together as much as possible]
[They’re not just daddy’s boys, but have bonds as a whole family]
“I see.”
Xiaolin nodded, sincerely sighing, “It’s good that father came back.”
Marbas looked at him and asked in return, “How do you feel about our family’s relationships?”
Xiaolin thought and said, “I feel that although you all have different personalities, you all care deeply about each other.”
Upon hearing this, Marbas’s face immediately lit up with joy, “Haha, well said! If you have anything else you want to interview about, just say it!”
[I raise my hand, I want to interview Second Brother!]
[I want father, when is he coming back from shopping, want to see the gentle father]
Xiaolin thought and asked, “Could you introduce the family members to us?”
Marbas smiled. “Of course.”
Xiaolin said seriously, “If it’s convenient, I’d like to interview them all.”
“You’re really dedicated to your work.”
Marbas approved very much, “Alright, I’ll take you to meet Them.”
The production team was overjoyed.
At this moment, a weak meow broke the silence.
They immediately looked down, following the direction of the sound.
They saw a small kitten wearing a purple eggplant head cover on the soft couch in the balcony.
He was playing with a Rubik’s cube, little paws trying hard to turn it.
[It’s a Chinchilla cat!]
[Baby is so cute so cute, come here auntie wants to kiss you]
Xiaolin said dazedly, “It is…”
Marbas introduced. “Our seventh brother, called Amon.”
The little kitten seemed to notice them, glanced at them, tilted its head, its mouth seeming to pout, the eggplant head cover couldn’t be more adorable.
[Ahhh cute cute!]
“He looks smaller than other cats.”
Xiaolin couldn’t help saying.
Marbas smiled. “In our family, appearances may not necessarily be real.”
[What?!]
As he spoke, before Xiaolin could ask, Marbas walked to the room on the left.
“This is the art studio of Sixth Sister and Eighth Sister, want to take a look?”
[Yes! I have a feeling they’re also great beauties]
So the production team followed Marbas.
Marbas pushed open the door.
The production team went from nervous to shocked in just one second.
[Shocking, did they paint all these?]
[The artistic power is overflowing from the screen, this must be divine]
[Sixth Sister, Eighth Sister, I’m dead…]
They hadn’t even seen the people yet, but were already stunned by the opening scene.
This wasn’t just an art studio, it was basically an art gallery! Even Xiaolin, who knew nothing about paintings, could tell with his naked eye how amazing they were.
“Marbas, are these the people from the production team?”
A female voice sounded.
Marbas turned his head and said, “Yes.”
Xiaolin immediately came back to his senses and looked toward the direction of the speaker.
She sat on a wooden chair, seemingly had just been painting, her dress had some paint stains, but it didn’t look messy at all, instead creating a kind of artistic beauty.
The live stream chat absolutely exploded.
[Really not a single exception, all handsome men and beautiful women]
[The power of genes is terrifying]
[My screenshot button is about to break]
Marbas introduced, “This is Valefor, our Sixth Sister, and to the right is our Eighth Sister, Barbatos.”
Xiaolin was stunned, instinctively looked to the right, and just happened to meet Their eyes.
[Ahhhh Sixth Sister and Eighth Sister are making me faint from their beauty]
[Beauty is the only word, I’m speechless]
Xiaolin froze for a full three seconds before hurriedly greeting Them.
“Haha, we know about you.”
Valefor smiled gently.
Barbatos also said, “When Marbas mentioned it earlier, we happened to have time to watch a bit of the show.”
“Re-really?”
Xiaolin seemed overwhelmed with honor.
Valefor nodded with a smile. “We feel Father would really like your show, it’s very warm and humane.”
Xiaolin immediately felt supremely honored, and humbly said, “Not at all, we’re just doing our job.”
This interview went very smoothly.
Xiaolin interviewed about some questions the audience was concerned about.
Their answers were also impeccable.
“These paintings won’t be exhibited outside, at least not for now.”
“Why?”
“We paint mainly for our own happiness, what happens after painting doesn’t mean much to us.”
[Wow, what a beautiful spiritual realm, but it seems such a shame not to show them]
Xiaolin nodded. “I see.”
After walking out of the art studio, the production team seemed to have gotten a buff boost, suddenly becoming mentally clear.
Marbas continued, “Let me think who we haven’t met yet.”
As he spoke, He suddenly squatted down and picked up a gray cat from the ground.
“Haha, perfect timing, This is our twenty-second brother, Inpos.”
When Xiaolin heard this, he immediately approached the gray cat and said, “Hello, I’m Xiaolin, the show host.”
[Dead, Xiaolin has completely gotten used to the cat family setting]
[People would become numb even when shocked!]
[But the gray cat baby is so cute too, want to pet]
[Let dad open a cat cafe, I’ll pet them all!]
[? Person above share one]
At this time Marbas led the production team downstairs, and when passing by they happened to record the time showing 17:01.
As soon as Xiaolin came down the stairs, he noticed a silver tabby cat curled up on the living room sofa.
Marbas introduced, “This is Beelzebub, His ranking is somewhat special, we often say He’s in a category of His own.”
[Indeed, Belzebub isn’t from the same system as Solomon’s demons, but it’s okay, kitty come to auntie’s arms]
[The person above’s ulterior motives are written all over their face]
The silver cat was rather aloof, didn’t acknowledge the production team, just gave them a glance.
Marbas smiled. “This is just His personality.”
Xiaolin felt this was more like a normal cat.
However…
Xiaolin looked toward the entrance, “Father’s not home yet?”
He didn’t know how he should address him, ended up calling him father like they did, only realizing after saying it.
[Xiaolin perked up, that’s right, we want to see father!]
[Father, the most mysterious man]
Marbas said, “He seemed to come back once just now, put some things at home, then went out again.”
“Why?”
Xiaolin was stunned.
Marbas smiled. “To pick up the child from the kindergarten.”
Xiaolin’s eyes widened. They- their family actually had a kindergarten child!
Marbas said, “That child isn’t very smart by nature, Father worries about Her a lot, puts His heart into teaching Her all kinds of common sense.”
[Ah, poor baby, indeed needs to be taught well]
Xiaolin asked with concern, “How is She now?”
If it was congenital intellectual disability, it seemed like there was no recovery.
Marbas turned his head, looked at Xiaolin and said, “Now She’s slowly developing Her brain.”
Xiaolin didn’t really understand scientific issues, just nodded and said, “That’s great.”
At this time, several cats walked over in the living room.
Including the silver tabby cat, chinchilla cat, and the previously seen ragdoll cat and cow cat.
Who knows if they noticed them or not, they were just meowing to themselves, perhaps having some conversation?
Meanwhile Marbas was counting on his fingers, “Who haven’t we introduced yet?”
[Second Brother who lives on the third floor, Fifth Brother hurry and remember!]
Xiaolin also counted along, “Counting in order, we haven’t met Second Brother.”
Marbas nodded, “Right, Second Brother and Third Brother, we haven’t met them yet.”
As soon as He mentioned Second Brother, all the cats on the sofa immediately perked up their big ears.
Taking humans to interview Second Brother, did they want to blow up their brains? Beelzebub was very doubtful about this.
Xiaolin nervously asked, “Would Second Brother be available?”
Marbas thought for a moment, suddenly took out his phone, seeming to be communicating with Second Brother.
[Please, I’ll die happy if I can just see Second Brother, tell Fifth Brother!]
A few seconds later, Marbas seemed to finally get permission, turned to look at them.
“Second Brother said it’s okay.”
The livestream chat was overjoyed.
While the cats on the sofa widened their eyes.
Interview Second Brother, are you serious?
Not just them, even the viewers’ brains in the livestream chat would be in danger.
But Xiaolin only felt delighted.
“Really?!”
Marbas smiled. “I’ll take you up now.”
[Praise Fifth Brother, Xiaolin hurry and follow!]
The production team hurriedly followed behind Marbas.
Meanwhile, a string of cats followed behind the production team.
Beelzebub looked at the ragdoll cat. “Prepare for emergency.”
The ragdoll cat pouted. “How exaggerated, our Second Brother isn’t a brain-exploding maniac.”
But They still followed along, not for anything else, just because it seemed interesting!
When the production team reached the door, They crouched in the corner stacking cats.
Marbas surprisingly didn’t give any warning, directly opened the door.
Xiaolin took the lead, bringing the production team into the room, and in just an instant, his eyes were about to pop out.
[My screenshot button is already smoking, ah, it’s broken?]
[Divine face!!!]
[OMG, if beauty was a weapon, I would be dead now]
Bang! Xiaolin fainted on the spot.
