Marvel: Spear Bureau Technical Advisor

"Your so-called sincerity is to regard my friend—let's call it a friend..." Qiangqian characterized his relationship with Colossus without sincerity, "You threatened his sister with his life and then threatened me. Sincerity?"

"This is just to reflect my urgency, and I have no other intentions." Velasco's answer was understated.

Qiangqian said "hmmmm" indifferently, he didn't have any expectations for the devil's moral standard.Those like Mephisto who set literal traps in the terms of the contract but are able to strictly abide by the contract are considered to be the gentleman among the demons.

"Since we're talking about sincerity, why don't you ask Mr. Velasco to answer a question for me—just to show your sincerity?"

"Excuse me, I know everything." Velasco made a "please" gesture pretending to be elegant.

Looking straight ahead at the other party's blood-red eyes, it seems that he wants to judge the authenticity of the other party's words.

"Your Excellency came to me so eagerly, you must have got some news about me?"

Velasco smiled lightly: "If Mr. Zion is talking about the abnormality in your soul, yes, I do know."

"Then what I want to know is, how did you know it?" Xiang Qiang asked the question he was most concerned about.

Well, of course, that's a secondary reason for his visit to Limbo; the main one is to protect Colossus.After all, it was his friend.

Velasco was obviously stunned by this question; after pondering for a long time, he answered uncertainly: "It should be from a certain ghost in my territory."

"Should?" Such an ambiguous answer could not satisfy Xiangqian.

"Mr. Velasco, this doesn't seem like a sincere answer." Qian Qiang said critically, "The Lord of Hell is almost omniscient in his own territory. Why don't you use the word 'should'?"

Velasco said indifferently: "I have no intention of concealing it, that's the fact. Mr. Zion is a disciple of Kama Taj, so he should have some knowledge of the characteristics of the hell dimension."

"Slightly understand." Xiang Qiang said modestly.This "little understanding" means that he has read all of Kama Taj's records about the dimension of hell.To be precise, he has read all the books of Karma Taj that can be made public.

With the acquiescence of Master Gu Yi, he also read some knowledge that was not made public.

The first thing to be clear is that the hell dimension is also a world composed of matter; it's just that its material basis is quite different from the main material plane.

Moreover, due to the different preferences of different lords, the environments of different hell territories are also completely different—for example, some hell territories have no air, which is completely unsuitable for life on earth.

Just like the earth has a magnetic field, the world of the hell dimension also has a special fluctuation field; the special feature of this fluctuation is that it will resonate with the soul of intelligent life.This resonance has two consequences.

For one thing, some powerful hell creatures merged with the hell dimension with their own souls, so as to control part of the territory in the dimension, thus creating a powerful hell lord.And the most powerful group of lords is the Lord of Hell.

There are different opinions on how the devil and hell merge, and there is no clear record of Kama Taj.Some say that the demons directly incarnate in hell, and some say that they entrust part of their souls to the territory like a lich's phylactery.

Second, after the death of intelligent life on the main material plane, the soul that has left the body will resonate with the dimension of hell, and then enter hell across the barrier of dimension.

Due to the soul fusion between the hell lord and the territory, the resonance of the intelligent life with the hell dimension essentially becomes the soul resonance with the hell lord.

In other words, for every intelligent life that enters hell after death, his soul and thoughts will be completely exposed to the lord of the hell territory where he lives.This is why it is said in human legend that a person will be completely liquidated for his crimes when he goes to hell.

In front of the lord of hell, everything about the soul of the dead is revealed, and there is nowhere to hide.

"You think you got this news from a dead soul, but you don't know which dead soul it is?"

Velasco sneered: "The dimension of hell is connected to the entire universe, and it does not belong to the earth alone. Every civilization has its own myth of hell; many lords of hell have a name on the earth, and another name in other civilizations in the universe. It's the same being."

"Given the vastness of the universe, there are hundreds of millions of dead souls who die every day; even the border of hell receives tens of thousands of dead souls every day. How can I distinguish them one by one?" Velasco said naturally.

That being said, Xiangqian is understandable.No one can receive tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of messages every day, even if the hell lord has a strong soul and thinking ability, it is impossible to do so for many years.

This kind of omniscience is actually not that interesting; come a dead soul of Zhang San, thinking about how much money is left to spend; come a dead soul of Li Si, thinking about when his wife will remarry; and come a dead soul of Wang Wu, thinking Treat a disease in the hospital and return to poverty at home...

Most of them are trivial, and there are tens of thousands of them. No matter how voyeuristic a pervert is, they can't stand doing it for hundreds of thousands of years, right?

"A piece of news from an unknown source, you are so convinced?" Qian Qiang asked.

Velasco was quite proud: "No dead soul can deceive the Lord of Hell."

"Ha, that's right!" Xiang Qiang echoed casually.

Meeting such a careless hell lord, it seemed that he couldn't figure out why; Qiangqian couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Mephisto seems to know something, but it's a pity that he is a thousand-year-old ghost, and he will never speak easily; even if he speaks, the old devil is very good at playing the real and the fake, who knows which of his words is the truth?

"Mr. Zion, I've answered your question, now it's my turn to ask you." Velasco interrupted forward thoughts, "Do you accept my sincerity?"

Shrugging forward, he said frivolously, "Well, it depends on how sincere you are. I wonder what price you can offer?"

"Price?"

"Yes, in business, you have to bargain." Xiangqian said with a half-smile, "What kind of price is Mr. Velasco willing to offer for our cooperation?"

Before Velasco could speak, he added another sentence: "Let me remind you in advance that Lord Mephisto has met with me many times earlier, and the price he offered me is not low."

"Mephisto, devil of deceit, temptation, and corruption. That old thing is not worthy of your trust," Velasco said loudly.

"Of course I know that. Mephisto's habit of defrauding with loopholes in the contract is really not credible." Xiangqian pretended to be embarrassed, "However, the price he gave is too high."
