Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

Lucifer did have the idea of ​​"interrogating" the other party when he was mentally weak.

However, giving a sweet date with a stick has also demonstrated the superiority of this operation in countless examples on the earth.

As an adult, Lucifer said he wanted it all.

The spirit of not being able to sleep well for three or four days cannot be made up for by sleeping for four hours. It can even be said that Tom woke up so quickly, but it shows that he has not really allowed himself to enter a state of rest.

That is to say, the current Tom, who has been fed sweet dates, is still in a state of mental breakdown to a certain extent-maybe one more thing, he has developed a strong affection for Lucifer.

These are all beneficial to Lucifer's inquiry.

...If it wasn't for the fact that he hasn't recovered his memory yet, and the alarm clock can't do anything like probe memory, Lucifer wouldn't have to go through such trouble.

But even so, when Tom finally ate and drank and sat anxiously opposite Lucifer as if waiting for a trial, Lucifer didn't immediately get to the point.

He slowly said caring words: "You look tired, why don't you rest?"

It’s okay not to say it, but when he said it, Tom was about to cry again: "Sorry, I just... want to work harder."

At the beginning, Tom might still want to gain the trust of the sage and treat him differently, but in retrospect, Tom always feels that because of lack of energy, he can't support too complicated thinking, even recording Da Vinci's words It's all just conditioned reflexes. In fact, the original intention has been forgotten, leaving only "persistence is victory"... I was reminded by Tesla before remembering the original purpose.

Lucifer was speechless.

He thought that a person who can play Infernal Affairs needs to use more means to break through the psychological defense line, but now it seems that he still underestimates the world—stupid and sweet, that's all.

If he had known this, he wouldn't have had to resort to such a method... Forget it, he did everything.

Lucifer sighed and said, "Is there anything you want to eat? My previous promise is still valid."

Tom shook his head: "No, I'm full."

In fact, these days he eats whatever is delivered to his neighbor... He doesn't know what to eat at the Apple Store, he just doesn't want to bother him anymore.

But Lucifer didn't listen to him, and asked the alarm clock to bring a plate of cream cake to Tom: "Eat something sweet, you will feel better."

Tom wanted to refuse, but...he really didn't eat sweets much, and he couldn't hold it in the end. He took the first bite, and then he couldn't control it.

While Tom was immersed in the beauty of sweets, Lucifer entered the next step: "Actually, I really have nothing to learn here, and I don't need help. The only thing I need is someone who can take care of Da Vinci—"

Tom even shuddered at the name Da Vinci.

"..." Lucifer slandered Da Vinci for scaring people, and continued, "So, I think you should seriously consider this job. For a capable person like you, I think you should to do something more worthwhile."

Tom's eyes widened.

He thought he had screwed up, but he didn't expect to get such a high evaluation...

"I, I'm not as good as you said..." Tom's brain was still numb, and he couldn't control himself to say better words of gratitude.

"No, you underestimate yourself. I didn't expect you to do so well—I thought you could last three days at most." Lucifer said sincerely, "Actually, many people can't even last a day." , You will sleep until the next day, your tenacious will has surpassed most people in the world."

Tom was flattered: "Thank you for the compliment."

"You are firm-willed, studious and smart, and you are exactly what the church needs. If you really need a job, I can recommend you to the church in Eden. As you said, I have a good relationship with the church."

"........."

Originally, according to Tom's original plan, he should now take advantage of the opportunity to ask how this magical great sage negotiated with the church, and why the church in the Garden of Eden did not interfere with these things he created as if he had lost his mind.

But now, Tom is full of gratitude to Lucifer, as well as the excitement of being recognized by the great sage who has done those things, and the touch of being treated with tenderness, which makes it difficult for him to use the original plan to go. Get words out of the other person's mouth.

Tom tried to use his dull brain to think what to do now.

However, when the balance in his heart gradually tilted towards "duties and tasks", the sage on the opposite side served him a cup of milk tea that also smelled sweet, and said to him.

"For a capable person like you, I suggest you stop wasting time with me and go to a place that better reflects your value."

Immediately, Tom, who had never been praised so intensively for his age, completely collapsed his psychological defense, and the balance fell to the side of "Gratitude and Reward" with a "boom"—his brain could no longer support him to think The level of "Actually, the suffering is also because of the other party" only stays at the level of "Master Sage is so kind to me, I have failed his trust".

Tom subconsciously blurted out: "Actually, I was originally from the church!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Tom suddenly became sober for a moment.

Huh……?How did he say such a thing?Obviously intending to keep it a secret...

Lucifer, who had already guessed Tom's background, pretended to be surprised and asked, "You are from the church? Then why did you hide your identity and come to me?"

Tom, who regained his sanity a little, hesitated.

Lucifer didn't force him to speak out immediately, but made indirect remarks: "Which church do you belong to?"

"...Avalon."

Lucifer was shocked: "Then you and Da Vinci should be fellow villagers..."

Why don't you know what kind of person Da Vinci was? !

Tom said aggrievedly: "He doesn't have this name in the local area. I only know that there is a genius in Finch Town, and then he is procrastinating in doing things. I don't know anything else. Avalon is very big, and I am also It's just right."

Now he knows what this procrastination is all about! ! !

Rumors are harmful! ! !If you don't know anything, don't talk nonsense!I sleep less than 2 hours a day and work all the time during waking hours. Is this also called procrastination? !

Because Tom was so shocked to see the familiar pit and jumped into it, Lucifer reacted and suddenly realized that the guardian angel of Avalon seemed to be Gabriel.

Fuck... It's a big deal, but fortunately he was smart and didn't let him go.

Lucifer didn't take it seriously at first, but now he is serious: "The Church of Avalon, why did you let you come to me?"

Isn't Gabriel busy with the soul factory?It shouldn't be...

But if Gabriel really came to the world, he should feel it, right?With the mobility of the angel, it doesn't take long to go from Avalon to the Garden of Eden, and he can come to him in an instant to settle accounts with him, and there is no need for a human to scout the way.

Thinking of this, Lucifer also relaxed a little, feeling that Gabriel already knew that his possibility was unlikely.

Having said so much, Tom simply explained: "It's because of some leaflets, and steam engines and so on... Then the rumors brought by the caravan, our church feels that something is wrong with the church on the Garden of Eden. After communicating with the Utopian Church, we made an appointment to send someone to look at the situation, and the result..."

"result?"

Tom said with a delicate expression: "The people in Utopia refused when they set off, and turned around and opened up free trade, and they didn't respond to the factories that introduced steam engines... People in our church felt that something wrong with the Garden of Eden seemed to spread to Utopia. It feels very weird…”

Lucifer: "..."

Isn't it, it's time for Raphael to give the order... It seems a bit weird to others.

"Since it is to see the situation of the church, why did you come here?" Lucifer asked knowingly.

"Because after investigation, all the changes started from you."

Tom asked very puzzled: "I don't understand, why did you do this? How did you convince the church in the Garden of Eden?"

Lucifer was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said: "Why don't you stay and see for yourself?"

Tom's face changed drastically: "Wait, I..."

"Don't go to Da Vinci's side this time." Lucifer said, "What I want you to see is not those, but what you should have seen as a member of the church."
