Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

The people present were all members of the literature group, and their sensitivity to words was very high. When they heard this, everyone felt deeply. The scene fell silent for a long time, and no one spoke for a long time.

After a while, Miss Hugo spoke thoughtfully.

"...In this way, it is true that the current actions of the sage-sama seem to achieve this purpose... er, to teach us how to live?"

It sounds strange to hear this.

But it's right to be strange, if it wasn't that they couldn't even do such a simple thing well, why would the angel come to teach them little by little? !

Pushkin is also reflecting: "We may have overcorrected before... In fact, many things, mainly because most people 'think' they can't do this and that, and God's punishment is not so harsh..."

This is actually not true, the main reason is that their lives have been too good recently, people always don’t like to recall unpleasant things, and with the blurring and beautification of memory, they can’t remember the past memories unknowingly.

In fact, before Lucifer asked Michael to modify God's punishment, it was really a bit harsh, but he could barely live a normal life, mainly because human beings bound their feet a little smaller, which seemed a bit tragic...

But will anyone correct this now?

No.

Everyone agreed with Pushkin's words very much, and felt that the main responsibility was not divine punishment, but human beings.

"It can be explained in this way." Alexandre Dumas breathed a sigh of relief, "Master Sage is studying and modifying divine punishment recently, is it also out of related considerations? If divine punishment has always been so vague, we will put ourselves The circle is tighter, but once the divine punishment is clear..."

——The right to interpret "extraordinary" is not in the hands of the church, but in everyone's heart.

Shortly after the literary group reached its conclusion, Michael also complained about this issue to Lucifer.

"Obviously you established the church, but in the end you are digging the foundation of the church..."

Not long after he came to this world, Lucifer was audited by the church. Although he passed the audit, he was still very dissatisfied, and this dissatisfaction has continued to this day.

"I have long wanted to cancel the church, and I wanted to replace their functions with the Presbyterian Church."

"Before? What about now?"

Lucifer pondered: "It's very convenient for people in the church to swear everything to God. If you need to know anything, you can read it directly in your head...and you can do whatever you want. As long as you don't make troubles on your own, I think it's okay to keep it." good."

To put it simply, human beings can communicate with angels and God through the church anyway. The people are the masters of their own affairs, and it doesn’t matter whether the church is abolished or not.

Anyway, Lucifer believes that when Lucifer created this church at the beginning, he definitely didn't want the church to become what it is now, even if Lucifer is really dissatisfied with his changes...

Then be dissatisfied, what else can he do, he is himself!

Is being cheated by yourself a trick?If he had to count, he had been tricked by Lucifer several times! ! !

Lucifer thought angrily, he didn't think there was any problem with his mentality of competing with himself at all, what he wanted to ask was to let Lucifer feel the feeling of being cheated by himself.

Michael laughed: "In short, let the church do the work for you first, and let's talk about the rest?"

"Correct."

Lucifer looked at these suggestions for modification of God's punishment, and was very moved: "Too many...Human beings are living a miserable life!"

Although Lucifer has always felt that the human beings in this world have a miserable life, but because he has never been out of the Garden of Eden, he only saw those people, and the Garden of Eden has become very fast. In fact, Lucifer understands the bondage of divine punishment on human is not deep enough.

Seeing these old cases and euphemistic accusations, Lucifer felt more clearly what kind of life they were living.

awful.

How miserable.

It's as miserable as a flower grower who suddenly found out that this year's November and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays are on the same day.

It was just because it was so miserable, so even if his mood got worse the more he looked at it, Lucifer could only think in an orderly manner. It was a pity that he couldn't recruit some legal experts from the earth to work for him.

"How long are you going to toss about?" Michael asked aside.

"...After collecting opinions from other places, it should be almost done."

This world is not small, and there are many human-inhabited cities beyond the reach of the steam train. Maybe Lucifer has never heard of this part of the city—but now the angels can help him openly, and Don't worry about revealing whereabouts, then this distance is nothing, as long as human beings can make suggestions, he will definitely receive them.

In addition, he has already had a more specific idea of ​​the effect he hopes God's Punishment can achieve, so after these opinions are collected, the adjustment can be completed soon.

Lucifer stretched his waist: "Just wait, God's punishment can't be rushed... I remember that the latest issue of "I Do My Way" is going to be released, right?"

Michael paid more attention to "I Do My Way" than Lucifer, and he said naturally: "Yeah, do you want to watch it?"

Of course you have to watch it, otherwise why would Lucifer mention this?

He had a phantom pain in his head after watching God's Punishment, and he was impatient, and really wanted to change his mind.

So Lucifer pulled out the latest issue of "I Do My Way" and watched it.

The content of the previous serial novels is not very attractive to Lucifer, who has read thousands of sails on the earth, and he prefers to read some argumentative essays.

Any argumentative essay submitted to "I Do My Way" basically has some strong words, or the topic is more sensitive. In short, normal newspapers will definitely hesitate to publish articles. This kind of article looks more interesting than novels.

Lucifer quickly skipped the previous part of the novel and turned to the back.

There is an interesting article written.

"...Everyone has recently been discussing how to modify divine punishment. Even the support of the church is enough to prove God's idea. Therefore, it is imperative to modify divine punishment. I think that when we all make suggestions for divine punishment, we should also We should think about how our way of life will change correspondingly after the standard of divine punishment changes..."

Then there are some discussions about future life changes.

Lucifer looked very relieved.

Human beings are very good!It's long overdue!Otherwise, what's the point of just modifying God's Punishment, the purpose is to make human life better!

Looking at the signature again, it turned out to be Alexandre Dumas who rarely wrote such articles. Lucifer was even more relieved, and felt that he had not spent all his time and effort for the literature group.

After reading this article, he flipped through it later, and found that it was another argumentative essay with the same theme but from a different perspective. He looked at the signature again, Edgar Allan Poe... and then flipped through it again, another article, signed by Hugo... …

Lucifer finished flipping through the book silently, took the magazine and got up to find the literature group.

As soon as he took two steps there, there was a faint commotion in the corner of the literature group. When he walked over, everyone stood up.

Lucifer: "..."

You guys, something is wrong! ! !

The literature group was also very embarrassed, they started winking at each other again.

【Why did you stand up? 】

[Verne suddenly started fighting, I didn't realize it, what's going on with you]

[You suddenly stood up, of course I followed suit...]

[It's over, did we make it too obvious? 】

[Verne, what's the matter with you! 】

Although Verne couldn't understand what everyone's eyes were trying to say, he also knew that he was wrong... He couldn't explain things like overreacting, anyway, he just saw Mr. Sage walking this way at that moment , and met his eyes, he subconsciously stood up while thinking about angels...

I didn't expect to cheat everyone, otherwise it would be easier for him to stand up alone.

Lucifer watched this scene speechlessly, and sighed: "Sit down."

Everyone sat down together with Lucifer in embarrassment.

Lucifer put the "I Do What I Do" on the table: "You... the topics discussed in this issue are very neat and novel."

Everyone laughed.

Seeing their funny expressions, Lucifer couldn't help but laughed helplessly: "Just say what you have to say...... Did you guess something?"

Seeing that Mr. Sage didn't seem to mind, everyone relaxed.

As Alexandre Dumas and Lucifer lost the most, she was the first to speak: "Master Sage...uh, are you...the one?"

She was too embarrassed to say the word angel directly, so she raised both hands and gestured for flapping her wings.

Lucifer was amused: "Yeah, when did you find out?"

Admitted! ! !

It may be because too many emotions have been consumed by guessing and discussing before. At this moment, everyone just accepted the reality in a trance.

"After the attack of the giant dragon." Miss Hugo also adjusted her mood and interrupted, "For a few days your state...is not quite right."

Lucifer coughed: "Ah, yes, I see."

Father God, can you pretend to be a little more like me?

"But what's even more wrong is Mr. George and the others..."

Lucifer: "..."

Seeing Lucifer's speechless appearance, the literature group felt as if the distance that had once seemed a little far away was getting closer, and their attitudes were relaxed.

After they asked a few questions curiously, they got to the point.

"Master Sage." Pushkin still called Lucifer that way habitually, "Is the purpose of your coming here to change our lives?"

"Yes." Lucifer admitted, "I knew you had discovered it, otherwise I wouldn't have written these articles."

All the members of the literature group laughed sheepishly.

"But I really didn't expect it." Alexandre Dumas said with emotion, "I thought our previous life was what God expected, but it turned out that we made a mistake?"

Lucifer coughed, and was really embarrassed to say that God expected that, so he could only forcefully find some good words.

"It's mainly a matter of the development of the times. Some divine punishments were indeed able to help humans live better at the beginning... but they are not applicable to the current society. For us, the concept of time is also different from yours. If you don't pay attention You have developed into what you are now..."

Everyone was very moved: "Thank you for your hard work, it is really a lot of trouble."

"It's nothing, as long as you live well." Lucifer said, "I hope you can be happy."

"Ah, there is another question." Alexandre Dumas asked curiously, "Why do you have to pretend that you are human? In fact, it would be more efficient to directly tell your identity?"

Regarding this point, Lucifer pondered for a few seconds and replied slowly.

"Because I hope that in your history, the records about these are the functions played by human beings themselves...not because of 'what the angels want you to do' or 'what kind of will God has issued'."

"...but it was you who did it?" Everyone was puzzled, not understanding the meaning of this.

"It's different. Actually, I really didn't do anything. Many things are just a little beginning... Like the steam engine, I just provided an opportunity for everyone to study without distraction. In fact, you humans have researched it yourself. No matter how technology is like God’s punishment, it also received an investigation report written by you humans at the beginning, didn’t it?”

Lucifer explained seriously.

"I just know the right direction. Human beings are the ones who really contribute, but once they appear as angels, the role of human beings will be covered up... The role of written records is more powerful than you imagine. Seeing God and angels The records that dominate everything, maybe later people will expect gods or angels to change the status quo when they encounter something, but if the records are human-led changes..."

Someone answered.

"We'll know how to save ourselves."

"That's right." Lucifer laughed, "You can save yourself, believe in yourself, you have such power."

——Since he dared to make him lose his memory, then his standpoint is completely skewed towards human beings. I hope Lucifer and God will not regret it after he recovers his memory.
