Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

After this experience, Tom became more thoughtful.

He no longer uses his past experience and way of thinking to look at the things in the Garden of Eden—because he always feels that no matter how incredible things are, the great sages and the people in the Garden of Eden can find plausible reasons to convince him .

Seeking to find a valid argument against what he considered to be not "normal", Tom began to struggle to understand the new atmosphere of Eden.

Then--

Tom: "Actually, snail noodles are quite delicious."

Alexandre Dumas: "Isn't it? But many people think it's too smelly and refuse to eat it."

Tom: "The chicken fried steak is also delicious."

Alexandre Dumas: "Sprinkle some spices to make it more fragrant!"

Tom: "Coke is the most amazing drink I've ever had."

Dumas: "Then you must try Sprite again!"

Looking at the alarm clock at this scene: [... What's going on with this man. 】

It also thought that Tom could hold on for a few more days, why did he fall! ?Also discussed food with Alexandre Dumas? !

Lucifer rarely found it funny.

"Once you've eaten good food, it's hard to go back to the bad days."

Tom had inquired about the food here in Lucifer before, and knew that the church in the Garden of Eden had praised the "snail noodles", which was a set of "only after passing the previous test can we get feedback", so when Lucifer asked Tom what he wanted to eat, As a member of the church, Tom naturally wanted to experience what the church said was good, so he said he wanted to eat snail noodles.

Of course Lucifer would not refuse.

Do you think that the dishes recommended by the church can escape the delicious bomb? !joke!As long as Tom can take spicy food, he'll soon ignore the stink!

Sure enough, when it was served at the beginning, although Tom looked a little skeptical about life, his expression was still relaxed. He probably felt that the church in the Garden of Eden could still be saved, at least it was not beyond his imagination on this point.

Even subconsciously, Tom was a little lucky, thinking that he would not be bribed by food... Yes, his persistence in food is actually a bit shaky.

After all, once you are hungry, the more you think about delicious food, the more delicious it will be, and if you let him gnaw dryly on a bit of hard bread, he will be a little inexplicably resistant.

It's a pity that snail noodles are very good for Tom's appetite—after living for so many years, Tom discovered that he has a strong taste and likes to eat food with strong spices—in short, he didn't even miss the soup of snail noodles. clean and dry.

If it ends here and Tom goes back to eat steamed buns, maybe he can still be saved.

However, as a food columnist, Alexandre Dumas grasped Tom's taste and started recommending instant noodles, hot and sour noodles, spicy strips, Mala Tang and other foods to him crazily, pulling Tom into the abyss in one breath.

Tom comforted himself: "I haven't encountered God's punishment when eating so far. Does it mean that God thinks it's okay?"

Alexandre Dumas also plausibly said: "If God really felt that there was a problem, he would not have given humans the sense of taste! Wouldn't it be better to let humans eat for survival? Since humans have the sense of taste, it means that God has allowed it! We cannot waste God's Our ability!"

As soon as this little speech adapted from Lucifer's mouthpiece appeared, it seemed to give Tom an excuse so that he could finally stop worrying about eating.

"It makes sense!" Tom, who turned into an alarm clock, nodded fiercely, "This is God's will!"

People become depraved at a very fast speed. For example, after only two days, Tom and Alexandre Dumas were able to chat and laugh happily on the topic of food...

Of course, although his will has been corroded by food, Tom has not forgotten his mission.

In his spare time, he spends his spare time reading books and newspapers, walking on the streets, chatting with locals, and so on, so as to build a map of the changes in the Garden of Eden in his mind.

People's thoughts are always easy to change. Tom spent two days in the Garden of Eden, and personally experienced the different vigorous and upward mental states in the Garden of Eden and Avalon.

Everyone seemed to be full of expectations and confidence for the future. They laughed and discussed topics such as going to visit relatives in other places, drinking fresh milk every morning, planning to open a milk tea shop when the price of tea leaves came down, and wanting to go to heaven. .

Yes, they want to go to heaven.

The previous hot air balloon experiment was successful, and the Montgolfier brothers personally sat on the improved version of the hot air balloon—they modified the previous version and added a fan controlled by a steam engine at the end. In fact, the whole is closer to the state of the airship.

They ascended to the sky under the watchful eyes of everyone, and then flew into the distance. They arrived at the outskirts of the Garden of Eden from the city center in about ten minutes, and then came back with a jug of fresh milk.

I don’t know why, maybe it was too hard to promote the benefits of steam trains in the early days. I feel that everyone regards fresh milk as a timing tool...

Tom, who saw humans flying into the sky with his own eyes, felt a great shock.

Later, Tom asked the Montgolfier brothers where the experiment was done before, and why there was no news about such a shocking thing.

The Montgolfier brothers looked at each other, then shrugged helplessly.

"Brother, don't you really understand? Doing experiments in other places, of course, you have to do it secretly. Our church may be afraid that we will fly to heaven to offend angels and God."

"...Doesn't it matter in the Garden of Eden?"

"Of course," said the Montgolfier brothers. "The atmosphere in Eden is wonderful! There is no better place for people like us to live than here, and we have written back to have the house packed up and just waiting. Take the steam train back and move!"

Tom admits: "The atmosphere of Eden...is really unique."

If in Avalon, not only would no one want to go to heaven, it would be rare to even discuss about opening a store. Everyone would only think about going to others to learn some skills, and then work, or inherit the family business... because there is nothing new. It is worth opening a new store to sell things that are new. Innovation always means instability. It is safest to follow the path that has been confirmed by the predecessors.

Tom didn't think there was any problem before, but now when he compares it with Eden, he feels that Avalon is a bit lifeless.

No matter how much you admire stability, people prefer an environment that is full of joy and happiness every day, and the balance in Tom's heart has unknowingly tilted towards the Garden of Eden.

Just at this time, there was finally a wave of submissions from other places for the Sage Cup essay "The World I Live in a Hundred Years Later". Tom looked at the essays written by the people in the Garden of Eden, and compared the essays written by outsiders...

He asked himself, do he prefer the future written by the people in Eden, or the future written by people from other places?

The answer is self-evident.

He also wants to be able to easily go to other places to meet relatives, drink fresh milk, fly to the sky and look down on the world from the sky. He hopes that his mother will not use his eyes too much for sewing. So good-looking and not extravagant dresses, family members can eat food made of spices that have lowered the cost due to steam trains, and ordinary people can buy at will, and spend every day happily.

He couldn't even accuse the people in the Garden of Eden of being "luxurious" and "greedy", because God's punishment did not come to anyone, as if God also approved it.

...Maybe, all along, he was wrong?

Tom, who relied on divine punishment for value judgments, fell into chaos, coupled with the selfishness that existed in everyone's subconscious, he convinced himself unconsciously.

Tom who has convinced himself is the strongest, because even if he is out of the small God's punishment immunity circle of the Garden of Eden, he will avoid being punished by God because he believes that he has done nothing wrong, which will strengthen his confidence in his own thoughts. recognized.

Tom started to write the report, and he, who was familiar with the church's thinking, wrote the report, and the things he wrote were more likely to impress the people in the church.

He planned to return to Avalon after finishing the report, but before that—

Tom also has to go to the church in Eden to see what's going on.

"Are you going to church?" Martin Nicholas, who provided materials for his report, said, "I am a member of the church. You can ask me whatever you want."

Tom: "...???"

--What? !I thought you were the scribe sent by the sage!Why do people from the church want to record those scientists crazy here? !
