The Love That Remains

Chapter 80: Oh, Heavenly Blessed Devil Incarnate



JJ, the Limbo demon is lying upside down and swinging from right to left like a pendulum by a spirit rope. He is screaming on the top of his lungs. When he screams louder, the swinging becomes faster. He is sure that his brain will leak out of his mouth if he continues to be hanged by his feet.

"Have mercy." He presses his palms together and cries the blood of tears. This man must be the devil incarnate. "Oh, Heavenly Blessed Devil Incarnate, I have done a grave sin by trying to fool you. I will tell you the truth. Please let go of me."

"Where is she?" Sung Jun is flipping pages of the file. This demon's work is quite detailed. The information about him is through.

"She left the Limbo circle." JJ struggles to not cry. "I don't know where she is. I need to make a call."

"What are you waiting for?" Sung Jun reads about the part where it is mentioned that Fang Aisa is his wife. There is some information about her with a recent picture of her. It's been a long time since he has seen her. "Call whoever you want to call."

"My phone...I can't reach for it." JJ's phone is lying on the floor. It has fallen when he has been swung around mercilessly by Sung Jun. Sung Jun doesn't lookup. A thread of spiritual energy leaves his finger. The end of that thread wraps around the smartphone and picks it up. JJ watches it with awe and fear. A mortal like him is carrying such pure spiritual energy. Even in hell, it is not weak. The phone appears in front of JJ's face. He takes the phone after some hesitation. The spiritual thread disappears.

JJ dials the Lust demon's number first.

"Hello, Lord Lust! Can you hear me?" He yells loudly. "No, I don't need a woman. No, I don't need a man. No, I don't need a...I am not into those things. No... No... I don't want you to do that to me. Aish! Let me speak first."

Sung Jun flips the page impatiently.

JJ wipes his sweat with his left hand. "Lord Lust, is Fang Aisa there?"

"What do you mean? You failed to seduce her. Oh, she wounded you a lot. She has sliced your intimate parts too... That must have hurt... She has left your domain? Is she stuck in the waiting room? No? Do you have no idea? Okay, I will ask Gluttony."

That sounds like his wife. Now, Sung Jun knows that the demon is speaking the truth. He wants to see these demons who tried to seduce his wife. He wants to see his wife as soon as possible. He will deal with those demons on some other day.

"Gluttony, is that you? No, I don't want to eat. No, I don't want to eat pasta. The red ginseng? No, I don't want wine. No... No, I don't eat a demon's meat. Yes, you can send me cheese pizza with mushroom toppings at any time. What? You have gotten your hands on a bottle of wine from heaven. An angel sold it to you? Haha... who would have thought! Did he sell anything else? You have that too? I will drop for a visit later. We can call Lust with his entertainers. Yes, it's been a long time since we hung out."

Suddenly, the spiritual rope starts swinging. It takes JJ for the ride.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!" The swinging stops when JJ yells. "Oh, no, no! Nothing happened, Lord Gluttony. I have an important question to ask you... Yes... Have you seen a girl called Fang Aisa?"

After a pause. "You have thrown her out of your domain because she and the boy resisted all of your food... You hate her existence... There hasn't been anyone who... I understand, Gluttony. It is disrespectful to not eat anything when you have worked so hard... Don't worry, I am coming to... You don't want me to come now? Your mood is bad because... No, No... She should be in the waiting room? You aren't sure? She might be in greed?"

JJ stops the call and looks at Sung Jun. "Heavenly Blessed Devil Incarnate, your wife is in the domain of Greed."

"Send me there."

"That might be...." JJ tells him hesitantly. "Heavenly Blessed Devil, things are a bit complicated. Limbo, Lust, and Gluttony domains are the first level of hell. We are low tier demons. The low tier demons cannot enter the mid-tier domains or high-tier domains without the permissions of the demon lords of those domains. Lord Greed will kill me if I even try to enter is his domain. I can send you to the waiting room that leads you into the Lord Greed's domain. But, I can't directly take you inside. You have to find the door into Greed by yourself."

Sung Jun doesn't give him a difficult time. He can tell that the demon isn't lying. He cuts the spiritual rope with a flick of his finger. JJ falls on the floor. Hard. He swears that he will change the walls to soft sponges like Gluttony.

"Please..." JJ summons a door to the waiting room of the Greed domain. "Go through that door."

"Hopefully, you aren't tricking me." Sung Jun gives him a deep look. "Otherwise, I might want to hang out with you."

"No... No... " JJ waves his arms with tears in his eyes. "I will never dare, my Lord. This door leads to the waiting room."

Sung Jun shrugs his shoulders and turns the knob. He walks into the waiting room with checkered walls.
