[Comprehensive British and American] God's life is difficult and how to break it

When Chloe came home from get off work, she was surprised to find that the demon kings at home hadn't held a party, let alone messed up the living room.

Is something wrong?

Chloe subconsciously wanted to get a gun, and then through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she saw several demon kings sitting on the grass surrounded by a notebook, each with a hideous expression and twisted eyes, staring at the notebook. some blank page.

Chloe laughed, moved the hand on the holster, and pushed open the retro sliding door that Lucifer wanted to buy: "Do you want to use your mind to write on the blank pages?"

Seeing her, Lucifer's eyes immediately burst into frenzied light: "Savior! Detective! Quickly help Newbella analyze it!"

"Analyze what?" Chloe sat down next to Lucifer cross-legged, "Is this the "Elipe's Notes"?"

"Yes, yes!" Lucifer echoed very dog-leggedly, "This page was specified by Alibi for her to read, but there is nothing written on it."

"Before you came, we had already tried all the means to deal with secret information in TV dramas." Newbella looked up pitifully, "Including roasting with fire, soaking in water, facing the light, and turning off the lights and other fluorescent lights. ..."

"I also suggested soaking the pages of the book with Newbella's blood." Lucifer said, "It's fine if they don't agree, Peter still hits me, and Newbella hits me too..."

"According to what he said, Newbella has to drain a tub of blood!" Peter glared at Lucifer, "I told you to watch less weird movies and novels, just watch some cartoons."

"Well, I also regret that I took him to see "The Vampire Countess" a few days ago." Chloe said helplessly, "After that, he kept talking about going to the hospital to buy blood for me to bathe in, so as to keep my youth forever. "

Peter and Newbella glanced at Lucifer in disgust: "Childish!"

"Detective!" Lucifer was heartbroken, "Why are you like this!"

Chloe raised her hand to signal him to be quiet, and Lucifer was quiet for a second.

"My intuition tells me that you have to make use of the gifts brought by Alibi." Chloe picked up the notebook and looked carefully at the sunlight, "Don't use them alone, but combine them. It's like... Just like criminal police and forensic scientists looking for evidence, sometimes following a single clue does not yield any useful information, but when combined with other clues, the results are often quite amazing."

"You mean... we can permutate and combine them, try one by one?" Newbera said, "Such as making a soup with spring water and seeds, and then rubbing it on the pages of the book?"

"Well, that's what it means." Chloe nodded, "I think they came all the way to the earth to find you before the rift closed. It's impossible to just leave you a bunch of useless things. There must be some connection."

"It makes sense." Newbella picked up Elibi's satchel and pulled out a wooden box from it, "But he left me at least a few thousand seeds, and there are tens of thousands of possible combinations, right? When are we going to try it?"

"The biggest possibility is that before you find the correct answer, this papyrus notebook will be broken into pieces." Lucifer said, "Don't stare at me, I'm telling the truth!"

Then he was dispatched by Chloe to the kitchen to cook dinner.

"Don't worry, just think back to what Elibi said." Chloe said, "Since this page of notes is so important, the hints he gave you must be easy to understand and extremely obvious. Too many twists and turns."

So Newbella thought about the conversation between her and Alibi.

First, she picked up the wine koji and asked Elibi what it was.

Then, Elibi handed her the grain and spring water, explaining that these things were inexhaustible.

Then, Elibi solemnly handed her mother Aphrodite's diary.

Then, Alibi took out the seeds, and after learning that Peter could grow flowers and grass, he asked Peter if he could prepare potions.

Finally, Elibi mentions the fire of Hephaestus.

"He didn't introduce the rest of the presents." Newbella looked at Chloe nervously, "I don't think any of them were missed."

Chloe thought for a while: "I think the key to solving the puzzle is wine and fire. What kind of water did you use to soak the pages of the book just now?"

"Both the spring and the tap water," said Peter, "have no effect."

"The god of wine... Did Dionysus teach you how to make wine?" Chloe suddenly asked, "I remember that Dionysus is also a demigod, representing... indulgence and passion?"

"Yes, he is the inventor of wine, and later promoted the cultivation of grapes." Newbera said, "Dionysus is the god of carnival, and he will be invited to all banquets in Olympus."

"It's a good thing he's trapped in Olympus, otherwise Lucifer would be hanging out with him all day." Chloe looked into the house worriedly, "Did Alibi give you the grape seeds? Wait, can grapes Reproduction by seed?"

Newbella looked at Peter: "Is there? Can you?"

"Yes, yes." Peter affirmed, "I recognize most of the seeds in the wooden box, and the other seeds do not belong to the earth, they may be special products of Olympus. It can be reproduced by species, but as long as the seeds are properly treated before sowing, they can also germinate and grow."

"However, this kind of planting method is very time-consuming." Newbera checked the articles on grape planting on the Internet, "It is less than a month before Christmas Eve, when Ares may make trouble... Will we have time? ?”

Chloe scratched her chin: "I was thinking...Peter, give me a grape seed."

Peter hurriedly opened the wooden box, took out a few grape seeds and put them in her palm.

Chloe threw the grape seeds on an open field, picked up the water bottle and poured water on it vigorously.

"Have you seen "Jack and the Beanstalk"?" Chloe asked them while pouring water, "In the fairy tale, the magic bean with magic power grows into a giant vine reaching the sky in just one night. And maybe the same goes for the Magic Grapes."

After watering, they waited quietly for a while, but the grape seeds remained unchanged.As time passed, Grapeseed remained motionless, and Newbella's disappointment grew.

"It's okay, we'll come back tomorrow." Chloe was full of confidence, "Although the police mainly rely on evidence to solve cases, my intuition has always been accurate. Let's go, let's go eat first!"

Good-for-nothing Lucifer prepared a sumptuous dinner, at least to save some face, everyone ate in silence, thinking about the grapes in the garden.

"You have to trust my detective's intuition." Lucifer said, "She has always been successful in solving crimes."

"Because I have a consultant who creates chaos most of the time, but as long as he is serious, he is a top ten." Chloe looked at him with a smile, "Lucifer, when are you going to go back to work?"

Lucifer's rare old face flushed: "Oh, dear detective! Don't be so direct in front of teenagers!"

"I'm serious." Chloe said seriously, "There have been more and more strange murders recently, and I really need your help."

"I want to think about it." Lucifer said arrogantly, "How can the devil work for humans casually, hmph~"

Newbella and Peter rolled their eyes at him together: "When Chloe is not at home, you are another way of saying it!"

"What did he say?" Chloe asked curiously, "Did he speak ill of me?"

"Ahhh, eat well!" Lucifer panicked, "Talking while eating is prone to indigestion."

"I have the digestive system of a protoss, so I'm not afraid of indigestion." Newbella made a face at him, and lowered his voice to imitate Lucifer, "Why didn't Chloe invite me back to work? Does she not love me?" I’m so lonely at home alone! Hmph~ I’ll go back to hell at worst! But hell is so dark and cold!”

"Oh, shut up, bastard!" Lucifer blushed, and rushed towards her with bared teeth and claws.Newbella quickly shrank back, Peter lazily raised his hand, and pulled Lucifer back with just a spider thread.

"Lucifer!" Chloe supported Lucifer who fell back into the chair, laughing until tears came out, "Why are you so cute?"

"Don't describe the devil as cute!" Lucifer shouted insincerely, "I am the king of hell, the great devil who tortured the Nazis! Let me go!"

"The big devil who loves gummy bears." Chloe brought a bag of strawberry-flavored gummy candies and coaxed, "Okay, okay, we admit that you are a terrible devil, don't be angry!"

Seeing Lucifer's deflated appearance, Newbera and Peter almost burst out of laughter, temporarily forgetting about the grapes.

The author has something to say: Lucifer: So, don’t have children casually, woo~
