Marvel's Infinite Personalities

Chapter 270 The Honest Lord of Lies

It should be noted that most of the stories circulated on the earth about making deals with demons and eventually selling one's soul to the devil come from Mephisto.

Most of those who did business with him also knew this.

Even so, there are still so many people doing transactions with him. The most fundamental reason is because he can indeed realize the wishes of those who trade with him.

For example, there was once a young man who chose to make a deal with Mephisto in order to save his father who was dying of cancer. In the end, Mephisto did indeed cure his father's cancer, but his father soon died again because of another incident. He died in an accident, but he still didn't survive.

The final outcome of this transaction was that the boy sold his soul to Mephisto and became his subordinate, but still failed to save his father.

Afterwards, Mephisto also frankly admitted that he had known for a long time that the boy's father would die from an accident, not from cancer as the boy had imagined.

In other words, regardless of whether Mephisto cured the teenage father's cancer, he would die in the accident.

From the young man's perspective, Mephisto undoubtedly took advantage of the information asymmetry and deceived him.

But objectively speaking, did Mephisto lie?

of course not.

Not only did he not lie, but he also cured the young father's cancer as promised according to the terms of the deal.

Although his ultimate goal was to get the boy's soul, and he was very wicked and did not tell the boy that his father would die in an accident, even if he could.

In terms of consequences, not only did the young man fail to save his father, he also lost himself.

But in the process, the deal Mephisto made with the boy was completed as promised.

As far as the transaction itself is concerned, Mephisto not only did not cheat or cheat, but was also very honest.

Of course, if he wanted to, he could have completely changed the fate of the boy's father so that he would not die in an accident and the boy would not have to feel resentful towards him.

But he didn't do that.

Because he really enjoys this feeling of being loved and hated by others, which is also one of his greatest pleasures.

In fact, there are many similar things like this.

Some people are luckier than teenagers and do not completely sell themselves to Mephisto just because of a single transaction.

But there is only a difference between making a deal with the devil zero times and countless times.

As long as you have tasted the sweetness, as long as you still have desire, it is destined not to be just once.

Out of a hundred people who trade with him, maybe half will not suffer the consequences of their first trade.

But there may not even be one person who can live his whole life without tasting the bitter fruit.

However, as Mephisto said, no matter how weak the transaction partner is, he will not use force to force the other party. The conclusion of the transaction is absolutely voluntary, and he does not bother to use force to achieve his goal.

If that were the case, he would undoubtedly have lost the fun of using transactions to toy with all sentient beings.

Therefore, he never forces anyone to trade with him.

Just like now, it was clear that he was instigating Modu's dissatisfaction with Master Gu Yi.

Of course it was impossible for Modo not to see this.

"Mephisto, don't think that I don't know what you are planning," Mordo whispered to himself in an expressionless voice, "Maybe Domammu is using Casillas, but your ultimate goal is not Just like Dormammu, is it to remove the obstacle of the teacher?"

"I have never denied this," Mephisto said with a chuckle, "I admit that in the eyes of us hell lords, the existence of the Ancient One Mage is very annoying. As long as there is a chance, we all want her to disappear. "

"But I'm different from Dormammu. Master Ancient One has no personal grudges with me. It's just different positions. You really don't need to be so guarded against me."

Mo Du: "You don't have to say it anymore. Teacher is very kind to me. I will not be used by you."

"Oh, then why don't you just tell her that I'm looking for you?" Mephisto asked with a half-smile.

Mordo remained silent.

Mephisto continued with a smile: "After all, you still can't completely trust her, can you? In other words, you have never completely trusted anyone. You are afraid that if you tell her about this, she will doubt whether you have been cheated." I bewitch.”

"Boring." Modu said coldly.

"Hey"

Mephisto chuckled, did not continue to argue with Mordo, and quietly disappeared.

Mo Du was left with a gloomy and uncertain face.

"Who"

Modu turned his head sharply and saw a blond man smoking a cigar leaning against a big tree not far away.

Of course, this blond man is no stranger to him. He is the man who has been the most talked about in Kama Taj recently.

John Constantine

Many mages are very dissatisfied with this seemingly arrogant guy, thinking that he is not worthy of being a mage, and feel that Master Gu Yi should not allow him to stay here.

Among them, Casillas was the most dissatisfied with him and often mocked him in person.

It's a pity that he never responded, leaving Casillas unable to express his anger.

Mordo's temperament is not as clear-cut as Casillas's, and he can't say he has any likes or dislikes for Constantine. The two of them don't communicate much, and they can only be regarded as acquaintances.

But, it's different now.

Because he wasn't sure when the other party appeared there, and he didn't understand why he hadn't noticed the other party before, and only now did he suddenly notice it.

More importantly, he was not sure if Constantine heard what he just said to himself.

"Good afternoon, Master Modu"

Zha Kang's sub-personality exhaled a puff of smoke while saying hello, and walked towards Modu.

He patted Modu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I just happened to be passing by. I didn't hear anything or see anything just now."

""

"You get busy, I'll leave first."

Without waiting for Modu to respond, Zha Kang's sub-personality walked towards the direction Casillas left.

Behind him, Modu's face became more and more ugly, his fists clenched and unclenched, and then clenched again.

"Oh, by the way, I may go out for a while. If you meet Master Gu Yi, remember to tell her for me." Zha Kang's sub-personality suddenly stopped and turned to Modu.

The moment Zha Kang's sub-personality turned around, Modu's expression returned to normal as if changing his face. He nodded and said, "Okay."

"Thanks"

Zha Kang's sub-personality raised his hand and turned around again.

Looking at the back of Zha Kang's sub-personality, Mo Du couldn't figure out what the other person meant.

At first he said he didn't see anything, but it sounded like he had seen everything, and then he asked him to help deliver a message to Master Gu Yi, as if to show his goodwill.

"You want to threaten me with this?"

Modu fell into deep thought.
