Following Kai's words, a golden light spread silently from Kai's feet, and two white-gold long swords rose from Kai's feet.
Lucifer was already sweating on his head at this time.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! I don't think we need to be so violent! I have no ill intentions towards humans! Really, you have to believe me!" Lucifer raised his hands and said extremely uneasily.
"A demon says he has no ill intentions towards humans? If it were you, would you believe it?" Kai completely ignored Lucifer's statement and continued to control the golden light under his feet to surround the entire office. This is a knock-off product that Kai came up with after seeing Kama Taj's mirror space. It can create an independent space. It is not as convenient as Kama Taj, but it can still be hidden from the ordinary people outside.
Anyway, in the eyes of everyone outside the office, the room was peaceful, and Kai was talking to Lucifer. There was no golden light, no sword, and no Lucifer's nervousness.
Facing Kai's statement, Lucifer thought about it and found that he had no way to refute it. Indeed, if he were Kai, he wouldn't believe it either.
"But the problem is...I really didn't lie!"
Unfortunately, Kai seemed to have no desire to continue listening. He closed the two swords in his hands, and a white Spiral Knight spear appeared in his hands!
Lucifer was even more panicked now! Before, he only felt danger, but now Lucifer feels the signs of his downfall!
"I confess! I confess!"
Lucifer shouted quickly.
Kai was stunned for a moment, he was a devil... just confessing?
Then, regardless of whether Kai accepted it or not, Lucifer explained everything in one go.
Lucifer didn't lie, he was indeed the Lord of Hell, but once. And hell is not the hell that people understand. To be precise, hell is a territory in the demon world. Lucifer named it hell. As for the meaning of this name...it really doesn't. More than two thousand years ago, that The place was not called this name yet, but Lucifer overheard humans talking about hell and thought it was cool, so he changed the name.
Lucifer is his real name, and this time it's not the humans he plagiarized from, but the humans plagiarized from him. When the demons under his control came to the world, they publicized his name, and for some reason they were regarded as myths and legends. To make matters worse, he inexplicably gained a father named God.
When he said this, Lucifer was still indignant and inexplicable. He had been the Lord of Hell since birth, how could he turn into an angel inexplicably? So rebellious... Lucifer strongly protested that this was slander!
By the way, one more thing, there are no angels, no angels!
There is no God either.
As for how he came to the world...
It's funny to say that Lucifer was overthrown.
Although Lucifer always looks carefree in front of others, in fact... he really has always been like this. He is a born demon. He has been one of the most powerful beings in the demon world since his birth. He is just so unreasonable.
However, Lucifer is another anomaly. He does not have the bloodthirsty and violent desires of other demons. Well, that cannot be said. He likes blood and torture, and he also likes human souls. But what can I say, just not as fanatical as other demons. He was born the most powerful demon, so he has no pursuit of power because he was born with it. He also has no desire for power because he was born with it.
He gets whatever he wants.
This also leads to him having no strong desire for anything. In this state, it is best to go and believe in Buddhism.
Then for tens of thousands of years, looking at the scenery of hell day after day made Lucifer feel boring and bored, so he became depressed. Uninterested in anything, he began to alienate his subordinates, leaving them to their own devices.
His men are all demons, demons who are extremely crazy about power and desire!
So finally they couldn't stand having such a Buddhist boss above them, so they overthrew him.
Lucifer was cast out of hell.
It was also because of this betrayal that Lucifer decided to leave hell completely. He stripped off most of his power and sneaked into the human world. He was excited here. The people here were just like demons, full of desire all the time, but unlike those demons, the life span of humans here was too short, so short that in Lucifer's eyes, they almost changed every day. They are not like demons who are always the same. There are all kinds of people in this world, good, bad, good or not. Lucifer can't believe that humans can have so many qualities at the same time. They may be bad guys. , but it can burst out the brilliance of human nature. Some people are good people, but they also have darkness that people cannot look directly at.
In short, if the world of demons is black and white, then the world of humans is colorful.
So he really, really likes it here. So he decided to stay in the human world. As for hell... it was all for nothing, and he never felt bad about it.
"To be honest, I like this place more and more. Human beings are much more interesting than most creatures. It is so interesting to watch them fall and shine in their fall! Especially seeing the human beings It is an unparalleled pleasure to express one's desires freely. I never thought that human beings can be so imaginative and come up with so many things to satisfy their desires. It's simply amazing!"
At this moment, Kai had put away his swords. Because...he discovered that this guy actually didn't lie!
His power level is very high, similar to Lilith that Kai met before. No, it should be said to be stronger, but again, the power he can use is very weak. He doesn't look like a demon lord at all. At first, Kai thought he was hiding his strength...
"Have you ever really eaten a human?"
Kai asked a little disbelievingly.
"No." Lucifer has never eaten anyone in order to stay in the world for a long time.
"Then how do you live? Won't you starve to death?" Kai asked subconsciously. In Kai's view, demons want to eat people. Just look at the Tindalos hounds. If Kai hadn't suppressed those two hounds, they would have shed blood into rivers.
"Starved to death? Why?" Lucifer seemed more surprised than Kai. But it soon dawned on him. "No, you don't really believe that we demons can only survive by eating people, right?"
Kai was a little embarrassed, he really hadn't thought about this problem before. It's right when you think about it. Kai doesn't know how big the demon world is, but there are definitely a lot of demons. If they all need humans as food, that doesn't seem right. After all, if that's really the case, how many humans would have to die? A demon that could feed an entire world.
"We demons also have our own ecological chain, okay? We usually eat food from the demon world. Humans are like oil or supplements to demons. It's better to have some, but we can survive without it."
"Ahem, okay, have you really never eaten anyone?"
"No! Anyway, the people here don't take their souls seriously at all. I just need to make them owe me a favor, and then after they die, I can naturally get their souls." When he said this, Lu Xifa suddenly noticed that Kai's expression changed, so he immediately added: "Hey, don't get me wrong, I never killed anyone, they all died of natural causes! If you don't believe me, go check it out!"
Kai's expression kept changing, and he suddenly felt that killing this guy seemed like a good choice. Although he said that he had never killed anyone, Kai still felt very unhappy when he heard that he was still seeking human souls, even though he actually Similar to Lucifer, the souls of the people he killed were also plundered by him.
This is double standards.
But Kai didn't think there was anything wrong with thinking this way. Just like in the previous life, many people liked to criticize their country on the Internet, thinking that this is not good or that is not good, but most people do not really hate the country where they are born, they are just complaining, and they also have expectations that cannot be met. inside. Once outsiders criticize your country, you must immediately fight back.
I can scold my country, but not outsiders!
Feeling that Kai was getting more and more dangerous, Lucifer quickly said: "Even if I don't move those souls, they will naturally dissipate! I'm just using waste!"
There is no reincarnation in this world, let alone a place like the Netherworld. As long as the human soul leaves the body and there are no special means and opportunities, it will indeed gradually dissipate.
Kai turned out to be amused by Lucifer's statement.
It's not that his statement is ridiculous.
But his thoughts were exactly the same as the reasons Kai used to comfort himself.
This smile actually made Kai's murderous intention disappear. But he couldn't really turn a blind eye to the existence of Lucifer.
"I can trust you, but you have to make a commitment."
"promise?"
Kai took out a book made of gold.
It was the Sun Book that Kay obtained from Egypt during World War I.
This thing records many practical spells, including some powerful contract spells.
…
The four women had been waiting outside the office for almost three hours. Lawyer Charlotte Richard wanted to enter the office several times and asked them to hurry up. Big lawyers like them were very busy. But he was stopped by Chloe every time.
"I have the right to see my client. You police officers have no right to talk to my client in my absence!"
"That was a private conversation between them and had nothing to do with the case. Lucifer didn't refuse the conversation just now. So I think you still have to respect other people's privacy rights." Chloe immediately retorted sharply.
On the other hand, Harley Quinn and Linda were much more stable.
Click.
The office door was opened, and Lucifer came out of the office a little angry.
"You're cruel!" After saying that, he didn't care about the others and ran away.
There was no way, those three hours just made Lucifer so angry. As a devil, he is naturally no stranger to contracts. But he didn't expect that someone would actually play this trick today. He spent three whole hours bargaining with Kai, and was completely defeated in the end.
Originally, this was nothing. No one could guarantee that they would have the upper hand in this kind of thing.
It would be fine to say that Kai's words were sharp and his negotiation skills were superb, but Kai was just a robber. His only skill was to pull out a sword and put it on his neck to make Lucifer agree to those terms.
Although Lucifer argued hard, no matter how good his eloquence was, he could not compare with the sword.
For a moment, Lucifer truly regretted that he had so willfully stripped off most of his power. Otherwise, whoever is forcing someone else would be a different matter!
Fortunately, everyone finally reached a consensus by seeking common ground while reserving differences.
Lucifer can move freely in Los Angeles, but he is strictly prohibited from using magic to harvest human souls, and is also strictly prohibited from showing his strangeness to ordinary people. And when necessary, Kai has the power to recruit Lucifer.
There are many subtle clauses here, which are very complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a sentence or two.
Chloe saw Lucifer leaving, thought about it and finally didn't follow him, but turned back to Kai's office.
Kai was still processing the documents. As a leader, he really didn’t know that a major crime team would have so many documents that required Kai’s signature. It’s hard to imagine how the real big guys live their lives.
"Head...what did you say to Lucifer? He is so angry."
Kai didn't even raise his head and just said: "Chloe... I hope you won't bring problems in life to work in the future. That will only make you look unprofessional at all... Also, I don't care. You should also pay attention to your subordinates’ private lives. Well, let’s go to work and find out Elise’s boyfriend.”
When Kai said this, Chloe's face immediately burned and she was immediately defeated.
I was still cursing Lucifer secretly in my heart, it must be his nonsense that caused Kai to misunderstand.
"By the way, Elise's parents are coming tomorrow. You and I will receive them then."
Receiving the family members of the deceased has always been a thankless job, which tests one's emotional intelligence. The emotions of the family members of the deceased can be said to be all kinds of strange, and it is very easy for something to happen if one person is not right. Generally speaking, this kind of work requires experienced police officers.
It's not only necessary to comfort the family members, but also to ask for some information. It's really hard to do without some means.
…
Chloe had just left here when the leader of another team from the Crime Unit came over.
This time is really a big case.
A Russian gangster in the West End was massacred!
A total of more than a dozen people died!
No one was spared. More importantly, the method of committing the crime was exactly the same as that used in the murder case of the former leader of the major crimes unit!
"Huh... I told you that Jin wouldn't be so honest!" Kai looked at the photos of the crime scene and exhaled hard. In the past few days when Kai took office, Kingpin and the local gangs in Los Angeles were very generous and kept quiet for half a month, but everyone knew that this calm would not last long.
"Any clues?" Kai asked the police officer in charge of the case.
"have……"
As he said that, the police officer handed over a photo. Judging from the photo, it was taken from the surveillance video and the resolution was not high. But it can be roughly seen that it is a person. He is wearing a white hooded windbreaker and looks like Assassin's Creed. He also carried two Japanese swords on his back.
There is also a front view, but the man wears a skull mask and his true face cannot be seen.
