Chapter 151 The devil can't be humiliated, unless you have room and board
The silver-haired devil stood at the intersection of Queen Street and Times Square.
His indifferent and handsome face, with surprise in his eyes, reflected a towering building: the Times Square Building.
The giant electronic signboard constantly changes advertising clips, the stock market screen outside the exchange building alternates between red and green, and the engine of the cool and flamboyant sports car roars.
People of different skin colors, different languages, and different nationalities flowed through Lucifer.
The glamorous tourists, like models walking on the stage, walked from the streets dotted with song and dance theaters into the bustling commercial plaza. There were also sightseeing buses full of crazy and shouting tourists heading towards the world-famous Fifth Avenue.
On the top floor of the sightseeing bus, tourists were shouting, some beautiful women blew kisses to Lucifer, and some whistled to the devil.
The red three-decker bus passed by Lucifer. Lucifer stopped where he was, slightly lost in thought, his silver hair fluttering in the wind.
Times are changing dramatically and vicissitudes of life are changing.
For a brief moment, Lucifer was so shocked that he lost consciousness.
"This...is no longer the world I remember."
Lucifer looked up at the blue sky, trying to find any familiar traces, such as angels or demons. However, he found nothing.
Suddenly, the novelty and amazement disappeared into nothing.
An indescribable feeling of loneliness enveloped him.
Lucifer lowered his neck and stared at the ants on the floor tiles. His long eyelashes covered his eyes and his eyes flickered.
Thousands of years later, I was resurrected again and walked in this human world.
The only one I knew and remembered his name... was actually Lin Xiao.
He was walking in the streets barefoot and wearing a long robe.
People didn't bother Lucifer rashly.
First of all, he had an arrogant and aristocratic aura that kept people away from him.
Secondly, Star Map City is a prosperous and alienated city.
Of course there are also chats.
A man stopped Lucifer and handed his business card with a smile:
"Hello, I am a Hollywood talent scout. Your temperament is very suitable for the leading actor in our next film, so can you please..."
The conversation stopped because the scout saw Lucifer's eyes, and fear and depression suddenly surged in his soul. His lips moved, cold sweat broke out, and he was stuck in speech: "You, you..."
Lucifer frowned slightly, because he was "reminded" by the [Black Dragon Contract] not to use power on humans rashly.
The "reminder" tasted unpleasant, like a dark flame burning in my stomach.
Lucifer began to regret signing the contract, but under the circumstances, he could only agree to Lin Xiao.
That's all...Lucifer is neither sad nor happy...just take a look at this new world as a human being for the time being.
"Is there anything else?" Lucifer said scornfully.
"No more." The scout said with a smile, and stretched out his hand tremblingly: "This is the card, please accept it..."
Lucifer glanced sideways at the business card and suddenly remembered that Mammon once told him that in the human world, the most important thing is to have a job.
According to Mammon, the essence of work is to make money. Without money, it is difficult to move forward in the human world.
He has not yet been able to understand Mammon's words, but this does not prevent Lucifer from learning new knowledge from scratch.
Lucifer asked indifferently: "What is work?"
"Ah?" The scout's eyes widened, "Um...are you kidding me?"
"Then let me change the topic." Lucifer nodded slightly: "Where can I make money?"
"You can make money by working." The talent scout stammered, "For example, if you come to my place to film a movie, you will definitely be a hit!"
"So." Lucifer's eyes flickered and he asked seriously: "What is work?"
Scout: "..."
Although this man looks handsome, doesn’t he have some mental problems?
The talent scout cleared his throat and asked:
"What did you rely on to make a living before?"
The talent scout wants to say that work is what makes a living. Even if the second generation of rich people make a living by eating their old age, it can still be considered a job.
Lucifer thought carefully and replied:
"By the devil's belief in me, and my hatred of heaven."
Scout: "..."
I can confirm that he is not a performance artist, he is really crazy!
"Excuse me." The scout said with a smile, "I suddenly remembered that we have already confirmed the male lead for our next film, so I won't take up your time!"
Lucifer looked at the humans who were escaping quickly and fell into deep thought again.
Is it considered a job to stop people at intersections and ask questions like he did...I'm afraid I can't do this kind of job.
Gradually, my knowledge increased, and I continued walking aimlessly.
Passing by the window cabinet of a jewelry store, his eyes stopped for a moment at the jeweled jewelry.
In particular, a shimmering amethyst creates a beautiful shape.
Lucifer nodded slightly. Purple, which symbolizes arrogance, is undoubtedly his favorite color. Just when he was about to get it, his eyes moved to the price tag next to him, thinking silently.
The number represents the human currency corresponding to this item.
He is now less than the seventh level, and the war has just ended, and he is weak due to losing the power of the demon god and other reasons. He urgently needs to eat to replenish energy.
Resurrected again after a thousand years, Lucifer has not experienced hunger for too long.
He felt that hunger was like a dormant beast. As soon as he discovered the beast, it had already pounced on him ferociously.
Although his condition will recover over time, at least for now, in this strange new world, Lucifer is a little embarrassed.
Lucifer kept his head calm and thought hard.
The top priority now is to get money.
And money cannot be used to buy jewelry, it should be used to exchange food from humans to ensure the necessary energy intake for the body.
only……
Lucifer looked around at the tall buildings and let out a sigh.
Where should I get the money from?
Suddenly an idea came to my mind: to look for Mammon.
As the God of Greed, He is extremely knowledgeable about human society and is a symbol of wealth.
However, Lucifer quickly rejected this idea.
Dragging his miserable body, he sought help from Mammon, who was also a demon.
For the Arrogant Demon God, this is like seeking shelter from others, which is too shameful.
A cold, sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Lucifer's mouth, as if he was looking down upon the arrogance of the world.
Even if this body dies of starvation, the soul will not enter reincarnation.
I will never leave anyone behind!
His stomach was constantly burning, and Lucifer couldn't tell whether it was hunger or the restrictive effect of the black dragon contract.
He planned to leave the city temporarily and go to the wild to find some fruits to satisfy his hunger.
Facing this magnificent human city, the demon's actions were nothing less than fleeing to avoid fighting.
Although the shame and embarrassment burned Lucifer's soul.
But in order to take revenge on the heaven and find out the truth of the [Doomsday] alive... Lucifer's eyes are cold and stern... these are nothing!
"Someone informed us that there were people in Times Square who were half-clothed and obstructed the appearance of the city."
Two white police officers blocked Lucifer's way. The silver handcuffs on their waists glowed white and they said in a bad tone:
"Sir, please show me your identity information."
Lucifer raised his gaze, looked at the two police officers, and said coldly:
"Just now along the way, I saw many human beings begging. If you have time to take care of me, why don't you help them?"
The two police officers grinned as if they had heard something funny, and one of them said:
"Are there not enough beggars in Star Map City? They can't be controlled by anyone. We just need to take care of the things under our noses!"
Another sneered: "You have been hanging around here for more than an hour, and your behavior is suspicious. We have a reason, please show your identity information!"
These are all excuses, mainly because this country bumpkin looks really enviable, and he always has a look of contempt on his face, which makes people uncomfortable.
The two white police officers are both experienced, and it can be seen that he has just arrived in Star Map City. A country bumpkin like him has no idea how to report, and the blackmail is just for today's extra money.
If nothing else works, lock him up for two or three hours and then release him. This way, no matter how bad-ass the guy is, he will become honest.
Lucifer said coldly: "I have no identity information."
"No?"
A police officer grinned and said: "Then you are a fugitive? Or a thief?"
"You can't say that." My companion joked: "Dressed like this, he might be a sexual harasser."
"Isn't it right? A handsome guy like him can also sexually harass?"
"I heard that handsome guys like to play exciting games."
The companion swings a silver bracelet:
"Why don't you pay us to get your identity information replaced, or let you take a tour of the detention center?"
The two gradually came closer, their smiles showing shameful arrogance.
This arrogance is the oppression of the weaker by the weak.
But Lucifer is different. His arrogance is only towards the stronger ones, towards the gods in heaven.
All He can do to the creatures in the dust is mercy.
A purple flame ignited in Lucifer's eyes.
[Black Dragon Contract] senses his murderous intention and releases weak source power.
It's not forcing, it's more like discouraging.
Lucifer also understood that killing people here would most likely attract the national warrior Wushuang.
After the battle with Lin Xiao, he was now in a very weak state and it was difficult to escape.
And killing people means breaking with human society. In this prosperous and gorgeous new world, it is difficult for him to have a place.
but.
Lucifer's eyes burned with cold purple flames, and mental oppression enveloped the two of them in an instant.
God cannot be insulted.
The two white police officers looked horrified and knelt down with a thump under the terrifying mental pressure. Their faces were pale, their lips were trembling, and their hearts were turned upside down.
What on earth is this burst of momentum?
There is obviously no fire in this guy's palm, and he is not a card master. Why does he have such powerful power!
Lucifer doesn't need fire because he is a god.
In other words, His flame is in His soul, like a burning fire of arrogance!
Due to showing too strong killing intent, the [Black Dragon Contract] burned Lucifer's body. His face remained unchanged in pain, and light particles condensed in his palms, and he said indifferently:
"Judge you..."
A sharp whistle sounded at this moment, and the dazzling car lights forced Lucifer to narrow his eyes slightly.
It was an old-fashioned black car, speeding down the crowded Queen's Road with the driving skills of a legendary driver, attracting angry honking from the back seat!
Bang!
The car door closed, and Lin Xiao got out of the driver's seat. His eyes were indifferent and he glanced at Lucifer, who looked slightly surprised.
Immediately, he kicked over two bullies and took out the gilded black ID with a stern look:
"Xingtu City, leader of the sixth investigation team, Lin."
The two were at a loss. They were used to being domineering, and they didn't understand why bullying an outsider would bring the investigation team to the scene.
"Two harassed important informants and were suspected of interfering in the investigation of major cases."
Lin Xiao turned around and said: "Sigrid, write down their work numbers and let their superiors handle it!"
"Understood!" the little secretary replied.
The investigation team with the card division as the main force is undoubtedly an existence that any local police station does not want to offend.
The two people's faces were pale, and one of them said in pain: "Today is really Good Friday!"
Lin Xiao glanced sideways at the two of them, looked at Lucifer who was almost rioting, and said calmly:
"Things in this world should be settled by human rules. I'm better at this than you -"
"If you want to learn," Lin Xiao said, "I can also teach you."
Lucifer stared at Lin Xiao with complicated eyes. He had been in this world for only three days, and it seemed like he had been in another world.
At least, He reunited with the humans who remembered their names in this prosperous and lonely new world.
"Lin Xiao."
Lucifer's eyes flashed and he sighed:
"Today is really Good Friday..."
…
…
"Eat slowly."
Lin Xiao held her chin, watching the arrogant demon destroying a plate of green pepper shredded pork and three large bowls of rice at the speed of light, and sighed:
"How long has it been since you last eaten?"
Lucifer elegantly wiped the rice grains from the corner of his mouth with a tissue and said calmly:
"After my duel with you, I traveled around the city in the human world and was unable to take in any food."
Lin Xiao was stunned: "Why?"
"Pockets are tight."
Lucifer's tone was calm and he even used idioms.
Lin Xiao: "..."
Also, this guy is penniless and doesn't understand the rules of the human world.
In the past, whenever spiritual coercion was released, no matter gods or demons, they had to obediently offer tribute.
Now that we have come to the new world and signed the [Black Dragon Contract], we can only rely on ourselves.
At the dinner table, Lin Xiao and Lucifer sat opposite each other.
Far away from the restaurant, Chu Yun and Sigrid hid far away, carefully observing the silver-haired man, their eyes complex, and their worldview collapsed again.
"Are you sure... that person is the Demon God of Arrogance?" Chu Yun said hoarsely.
Sigrid smiled like she was crying: "Lin said, that is Lucifer!"
"The devil could actually be so hungry." Chu Yun was incredulous, "I really don't know what Lin Xiao did to him after the duel."
As a senior foodie, the little secretary retorted in a low voice:
"It took people thousands of years to resurrect, so it's normal to eat more..."
Chu Yun frowned and said, "Are you sure Lin is not offensive?"
The little secretary complained: "I think he is only aggressive towards the shredded pork with green pepper...it tastes so delicious. Lin's cooking seems to be very good!"
Chu Yun: "...Is this the point?"
Chu Yun lowered his voice: "The point is...how should we deal with the demon!"
At this time, Lin Xiao stood up and walked over, saying:
"Brother Chu Yun, I want to ask you a favor."
"explain."
No matter what Lin Xiao says now, Chu Yun will not be surprised.
After all, the other party is the man who can bring the devil home.
In the future, Chu Yun will not be surprised if the remaining six demon gods appear in the family...probably.
Lin Xiao muttered: "I would like to ask you to help me find a suitable job for Lucifer."
Chu Yun:?
Lin Xiao looked back: "After all, we can't let him eat and drink for free all the time. He still has a lot of residual value that can be squeezed..."
Sigrid: "You just spoke your truth!"
Lin Xiao glanced sideways at Sigrid, and the little secretary bowed her head obediently. He said helplessly:
"Lucifer's requirements are simple. First, he will not change his attitude towards humans for the sake of work."
"Second, He will not use false names. Lucifer is the symbol of His glory."
"Another point is that the working environment should be good, preferably the salary should be high, and the customers should not be able to point fingers..."
You call this a simple request... Chu Yun moved his lips and said speechlessly: "If I really have such a good job, I would like to change my career."
Lin Xiao sighed: "Why don't I?"
Sigrid tilted her head and thought, and said mysteriously: "I really know such a job."
"There is no need for Lucifer to change his name, because the customers won't take him seriously; and Lucifer can maintain his arrogant nature, because many customers are just like this; there is even such an industry under the investigation team, because it is convenient for gathering intelligence..."
Lin Xiao and Chu Yun said in unison: "What kind of job?"
The little secretary smiled slightly and said calmly:
