"Kousuke, see if you can repair that ratchet chariot. Maybe it can be used again."
Gao Fei ordered through the astrolabe.
Sato Kosuke had long been curious about the Little Devil's chariot. After hearing Goofy's words, he quickly got out of the cabin and ran over to check out the ratchet chariot.
Onitsuka Sakura ran over with a bunch of shiny handcuffs and cuffed the little devil's hands behind his back.
This is a torture instrument specially made by Tiangong. It has a special effect of banning demons and can automatically change its size according to the prisoner's body shape.
Even if the little devil uses his natural shape-shifting ability and turns into a crow or a mouse, he will still be tightly cuffed.
Gao Fei put away his pistol, walked over, grabbed the little devil's tail, and lifted it up.
"I will take this little devil back to the shelter for interrogation. You two will continue to patrol near the sinkhole. Pay attention to the movement of the wormhole. If you find a monster teleporting over, notify me as soon as possible."
After Goofy told Onizuka Sakura and Sato Kosuke to take care of themselves, he carried the little devil back to the shelter.
The little devil was quite surprised when he saw Gao Fei come to rescue him at first. Now that he was shackled and roughly lifted up by his tail, he realized that his situation might be very bad, and his face could not be expressed in frustration.
Gao Fei blasted two rounds of "Super Magic Fire Explosion" to eliminate the Obiris insect swarm. Of course, he didn't help him out because he sympathized with the lonely little devil. The reason why he saved him was to capture him alive and find out more about him.
The situation on the other side of the wormhole.
In fact, before today, he had captured the Egg Demon alive. Unfortunately, the Obiris Zerg were too crazy and unreasonable, and could not even establish the most basic communication, let alone dig out any valuable information from their mouths.
On the other hand, this little devil, although he is dressed up and careless, looks like a delinquent among devils. At least he is more sensible than a bug and can still communicate.
Back at the camp, Gao Fei threw the little devil on the living room floor, sat down on the sofa opposite, opened the astrolabe, used special police authority, and applied for the highest-standard interrogation procedure.
The application was quickly approved by the webmaster, and a magic power was transmitted through the astrolabe, creating circles of golden ripples on his body, successively blessing him with "Detection Camp", "Detection of Thoughts", and "Region of Honesty"
” and “discern lies” to ensure that even the most cunning devil in hell would not dare to lie in front of him.
The little devil was quite aware of current affairs. When he saw the battle, he immediately gave up his attempts to be naughty and answered Gao Fei's questions obediently.
"Police officer, my name is Piers Pilaf when I was young, and my friends call me Pippi..."
The little devil Pipi is a level 7 "Mechanism Warlock". He modestly claims that he is a mechanic who has been involved in bloody battlefields, providing logistics services to the Hell Chariot Corps under General Bellmonk, the "Duke of Demon Flame".
A little business of buying and selling information."
Other demons evolve into higher-level demons as their levels increase. For example, the little devil evolves into the Thorn Demon, and the Thorn Demon evolves into the Hedgehog... until it evolves into the Hell Fiend.
Pippi, however, did not take the ordinary path. He always maintained the form of a little devil and spent his energy on improving the level of the mechanical warlock instead of pursuing the evolution into a more powerful high-level devil.
This way of cultivation is not uncommon in the human world. All extraordinary professionals, including Gao Fei, follow this path, but in the society of demons, it seems very different.
"Pippi, as far as I know, the Baatezu devils are a highly hierarchical race. Devils of different ranks have vastly different social statuses. Race and bloodline reflect a devil's social status better than professional rank.
"
Gao Fei stared at the little devil, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
"You can obviously evolve into a mid-level devil with a higher social status and let your tribe take a high look. Why do you always maintain the form of a little devil? Are you willing to play a humble role in the devil's society?"
"Oh! Dear police officer, I didn't expect you to know so much about the customs and traditions of our Baatezu clan! Your erudition makes me impressed, but..." After the flattery, Pippi showed a smile, "
But having said that, your understanding of our nation may still lack some depth."
"Stop being so long-winded and say what you have to say!"
"Ahem! Mr. Police Officer, it is indeed as you said. Most of the Baatezu are sharpening their heads and climbing up, eager to evolve into a more advanced race. However, fate cannot be changed by hard work alone. What is more important is
It’s the noble demon who supports you.”
Pippi sighed, a cynical look appearing on his round little face.
"Every Baatezu who is eager to be promoted must do everything possible to please his superiors. Only with the approval of his superiors can he be promoted to a race with higher strength and social status. On the contrary, if he cannot be favored by his superiors, no matter how talented and smart he is,
Even if you are capable and hard-working, your promotion spot will still be taken away by those sycophants!"
"To be honest, I hate this practice of nepotism. I don't want to find a boss to serve myself. I would rather earn a living freely. Although I don't make much, I don't have to look at anyone's face! Of course, freedom is always there.
There is a price to pay, and for me, the price is not to be promoted in this life!"
Gao Fei saw Pippi's disdainful look and wanted to laugh but couldn't. Is this guy really just mocking the devil?
Devils respect rules and claim to do everything according to the rules. In fact, everyone knows that this is just superficial.
When every devil signs a contract, he has already planned how to exploit loopholes in the rules and tear up the contract to gain greater benefits. Being inconsistent is the true nature of the devil.
In such an environment where hypocrisy is prevalent, it is actually not uncommon for "hippie" rebels like Pippi to appear.
Gao Fei retracted his thoughts, his eyes fell on Pippi, and asked: "What is the tattoo on your chest?"
Pippi looked down at the tattoo on her chest - a pure girl with her head bowed in prayer, with a pair of white wings spread out behind her back, and a holy halo on her head - and asked in surprise: "There are no angels in your world.
?"
"Of course I recognize angels. The question is, as a devil, why do you have an angel tattoo on your chest?" Gao Fei asked angrily, "Aren't angels the most hated enemies of your devil clan?"
"Because it's cool!" the little devil said calmly, "When the old hag gave me a tattoo, I asked for the most sinister picture, so that other devils could tell at a glance that I, Master Pi, was not good.
Damn, this angel portrait perfectly meets my requirements. Seriously, don’t you think my tattoo is cool?”
Cool sister...
Gao Fei was speechless at first, but when he thought about it carefully, in the society of devils, what he did seemed to make sense.
