This villain, please exercise some restraint.

Although the demon in front of him kept talking about his friends, Shi Si was not moved by his words at all.

In other words, the devil's confusing words did not have much effect on him.

He never has the most complete trust in anyone, and he cares more about the threats in the devil's words than the devil's confusing words.

Threaten with the "seed of happy revelation".

To obey the devil is to hand over control of the body and keep the mind; to disobey the devil is to be eroded by the "seed of happy revelation", and ultimately neither can be preserved.

But...for such a despicable demon, how could he believe that he would not fall into a more passive situation after handing over control of his body?

Moreover, the lines on his body spread visibly faster. He guessed that the devil might have bewitched Xiaocai again. After all, the speed of the spread of this seed is linked to the trust of the person who planted it.

There was no one around, only him and the demon staring at him, waiting for him to make a decision. Suddenly, Shi Si was in a dilemma.

"Why do you want control of my body? In other words, why do you want me to be a puppet with a mind?"

He looked around and asked the question.

"Because we are friends."

The devil replied, "I like you very much as a friend."

"like?"

Shi Si was keenly aware of this new word.

"Yes, I like it."

"Birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together, and we are no exception. Do you think something good that can attract demons will be something good?"

The girl laughed softly, and what she said was quite straightforward.

"Then you are saying that I am not a good person? Do you know? In fact, I have been betrayed by different people since I opened my eyes. If you look at it this way, I am just an innocent victim."

“Isn’t it a little too comical for an innocent victim to be branded a bad guy?”

The devil listened to Shi Si's complaints very seriously, but he also saw it very clearly, "Come on, for you, it's not a betrayal at all. Anyway, you don't trust them at all. You just have no one to use." , I have to use nice words to make them be more obedient.”

"Their betrayal was also expected by you, right?"

Shi Si snorted and did not deny it. He still looked around. He seemed to talk more about the devil.

"If you had a tool at that time that could 100% make others obey your words, I think no matter how big the side effects are on those people, you would not be too lazy to use words and just use it, right?"

The devil continued.

"Devil, to be honest, you seem to know me very well."

The girl smiled and said, "Yes, I understand your inner desires better."

"Then you might as well tell me what I long for in my heart."

"You long for power, and as long as you promise me, I will help you get what you want."

Shi Si was unmoved by the devil's temptation again.

But he still showed some emotion on his face, "Devil, maybe you are right. Now I find that you seem to be more and more pleasing to the eye."

"I feel surprisingly comfortable talking to you."

The girl bent her eyes now, "If you see my true face, you will be more pleasing to the eye."

"is it?"

"Yes, even though the devil is called a devil, he has the most perfect face. No one will hate this face."

"Then can I see it?"

Shi Si asked.

"Okay, if you promise me first, I'll show it to you."

The devil brought the topic back to the right track again.

Shi Si quickly asked another question, "Devil, I must have liked you in the past, right? After all, I have been communicating with you for a while and I already have a good impression of you."

"You used to be... you were really fickle. Didn't you just repay the righteousness and justice of the division... But I am still willing to answer your questions."

"In the past, you hated me. You often went to the priestess to report me. Then the priestess would talk about me emphatically when she met the world. Then... my impression in the world became bad. Be reliable.”

The devil stared at the white-haired boy looking around in front of him, staring at him with a leisurely expression as he looked secretly worried and unable to find any way to solve the current predicament.

I can only try my best to ask questions, obey his words, and try my best to delay.

This is the reason why he came to the Lost Desert with restraint. Once he enters, ordinary people cannot leave quickly.

Of course, neither can unusual people.

Except for the heir to the power of Tarot cards who can teleport.

"...Really? Thinking about it now, what I did back then was really despicable...Devil, then why are you still willing to be friends with me?"

Shi Si continued to ask.

"Because I know you are not a good person, and do you know that?"

The demon paused.

"I created this body for you. The reason why you can keep your original appearance is because I, as a friend, am helping you."

Shi Si's heart skipped a beat when he said this.

He rarely opened his eyes slightly and looked at the girl in front of him. The girl was still smiling, as if she was not lying.

"Yes, that's the expression. How beautiful. Temperance."

"Many powerful beings want me to create a perfect body for them, but I give you this free privilege."

"Am I good to you? Moderation."

"You will never find another friend who is so good to you again."

The devil smiled lowly and seemed to think so.

"How do I know if you're lying?"

"It's easy to distinguish, temperance."

"You feel pain easily, you are photophobic, and... you are weaker than ordinary people. Because of these traits, before you changed your identity, you must have been like a mouse, often hiding in dark corners, right?"

"You..." Shi Si was stunned for a moment, but he still let the devil in front of him get it right.

No matter what, what is certain is that the demons in front of you are all participants in this world, no, in your own growth in this world.

Although the devil now gave him the feeling of being both an enemy and a friend, it was undeniable that the devil always answered every question.

Although it’s hard to distinguish between true and false.

Compared to the Fool who never reveals a word of truth, and the Magician who always speaks in a fog, the Devil is at least a being who can speak.

And as of now, the credibility of the words is not low.

The most important thing is that this guy even knows about his identity change.

But if the devil had known him before, and he hadn't changed his appearance, it wouldn't be surprising if he seemed to be able to recognize him.

"So, devil, tell me - in your understanding, what kind of existence does a person who carries human life look like?"

Although he already had speculations in his mind, he didn't ask for the opportunity before him.

The devil shook his head this time, "Temperance, you really want to squeeze out all my value... When you ask this question, you don't even consider giving me control of your body."

"Sure enough, did you choose to go another way... To be honest, Temperance, I'm very disappointed."

“I couldn’t get what I wanted, so I was disappointed.”

"I just want to be with my friends forever. What's wrong with that? I even asked for your opinion. I think I'm already too good to you."

"Your choice makes me very unhappy. Next, you will face the punishment from the 'Seed of Happy Revelation'."

The girl said, and with a wave of her hand, she removed the barrier she had quietly set up just in case.
