Chapter 018: Son of the Devil III
"Lucifer?" For Zhen Shifeng, who has read the entire Bible, this name is not unfamiliar. The legend has it that Lucifer was a transcendent angel who failed to rebel against His Son Christ and eventually became a demon in the depths of Hell. Among them, the most well-known is the story of Lucifer incarnating as a poisonous snake to lure Adam and Eve to steal the forbidden fruit in the world, which shows that his identity, status and strength are by no means beyond the reach of mortals, and can be described as a legendary demonic disaster.
"But...... What's the trouble to say that I'm the son of a devil, is it all my African-American mommy? Lord Lucifer, your tastes are truly unique! It only took half a second for Zhen Shifeng to finish complaining in his heart, but Lucifer's face sank, and the crutches in his hand immediately knocked on the ground, and at the same time said coldly: "My taste is very normal, not unique at all." And I'm not interested in human women, so you can put away all the mess in your head! ”
Hearing this, Zhen Shifeng was really shocked, but when he just wanted to explain, he found that his mouth was glued by an invisible force, and he couldn't say a word.
"It's not surprising that I, as the head of the demons, know how to read minds, and the reason why I keep your mouth shut is because you need to listen quietly to what I have to say before you can give your opinion, do you understand?" Lucifer's series of 'I' and 'you' Zhen Shifeng's head was dazed, but it was summed up in one sentence: Don't be idle and think nonsense, keep your mouth shut for me honestly before I finish speaking!
Seeing that Lucius's expression had calmed down, Lucifer immediately placed his crutches horizontally in front of him, folded his hands on his knees, and said coldly: "You are the son of my son because you were born with the curse of hell, the curse gives you the power of the demon, but at the same time, it also gives the demon your mission. Everything is the causal connection between past and present lives, and you cannot be cut off in vain in your eternal life. ”
"Cursed? Causally? Hearing this, Zhen Shifeng probably understood that this Lucius was born in the world precisely because of the curse of the demon, that is to say, his fate was determined by the demon from the moment he was born, everything was born for the curse, and he lived for the curse.
"Alas, it is ...... that there should be such a wretched person in the world It's so much fun! Zhen Shifeng suddenly put on an expression with rolling his eyes and the corners of his mouth like drooling. Being able to be in the company of demons and curses really made him feel extremely excited, and he couldn't help but think of the magnificent picture of leading the army of hell to sweep away the world and level the heavens.
Lucifer, who really couldn't stand it, coughed slightly, and the expression on Zhen Shifeng's face was fixed on the spot, and the corners of his mouth, eyelids, and cheeks couldn't move at all.
"Don't get too complacent, it's not easy to become a true demon. Because of the effect of the curse, you need to sacrifice nine human souls to Hell on time, not more than one, or your soul will be beaten to the bottom of Hell and will never be able to turn over. ”
"It is not difficult to sacrifice the souls of nine humans, because there are several living humans living around you. Kill them with your own hands, and your souls will naturally be led into hell, so that your sacrifice can be completed. As he spoke, Lucifer waved his hand out of thin air, and a slightly yellowed sheepskin scroll gently fell into Zhen Shifeng's hand.
"The death scroll will reveal a person's name every two hours, find and kill him in ten minutes. But you must be careful not to be detected by others or reveal your identity, otherwise even I will not be able to save you. Right now...... You can open the death scroll and take a look. ”
After speaking, the shackles of Zhen Shifeng's facial muscles were lifted, he first rubbed his sore cheeks violently, and then opened the death scroll according to Lucifer's instructions, and sure enough, a name written in blood appeared on it: Xia Li.
"Does the scroll mean that I want to kill the maid named Xia Li?" As soon as Zhen Shifeng thought this, Lucifer immediately replied: "That's right, now you must find the sacrificed person within fifteen minutes, and then kill her." But since you are acting for the first time, I can do it for you. ”
As soon as Lucifer's voice fell, the surrounding scene changed in an instant. After a while, Xia Li, the maid who was about to take red wine from the cold storage, appeared in front of the two, and they seemed to be transparent people, and the maid did not notice it at all.
"Lucius, the demonic ability you possess is called telekinesis, which is the most basic power of demons. With your senses, you can manipulate everything around you. If you want to kill the sacrificed person without knowing it, this method is the easiest and most effective. However, there are times when you need to make use of the props and scenes around you, such as ......... now"
I saw Lucifer gather his eyes on the shelves in the cold storage through the door, and read the power output, and a case of red wine on the shelves suddenly fell to the ground and made a string of bottles cracking. The maid was startled at first, and when she saw that there was no one around, she quickly picked up the cleaning tools and began to clean up, so that the maid's attention was completely attracted by the broken bottles.
With the output of the power of reading, only a 'squeak' was heard, and the door of the refrigerator was slowly closed, and the door lock was locked on the spot, and Xia Li didn't have time to rush out of the door.
"Now that you can send the soul of the first human to hell by turning the temperature regulating device at the doorway, what are you waiting for, go and act." Under Lucifer's instructions, Zhen Shifeng gently turned the temperature adjustment knob of the refrigerator and fixed the temperature in the warehouse at about minus 50 degrees, which was enough to freeze to death an adult human with thin clothes and a thin body in a very short time.
"You've done a great job, but that's just the beginning, and you'll have to keep working hard for the next eight souls. Remember, no one should notice it, no one should tell it, and the Death Scroll must never be lost or damaged. I have already explained it very clearly, so ......... listen, Zhen Shifeng's eyes suddenly darkened, and the surrounding scene changed back to its original appearance, but Lucifer had disappeared in place and disappeared without a trace.
[Task 2 has been completed, and the main quest is being refreshed]
[Task 3: Complete the sacrifice of nine souls according to Lucifer's request]
The system prompt echoed in his ears, and Zhen Shifeng stood in front of the old-fashioned mahogany chair in a daze, unable to calm down for a long time. However, it didn't take long for him to burst out laughing, and the system didn't suppress it.
"Huh...... Hehe...... Hahaha,The plot of this script is really perverted enough.,The content of the mission is to make players think about how to kill nine humans unknowingly.,Including their own biological parents.,Tsk,I'm afraid that the psychological capacity of ordinary people is at most............ But then again, while it's a bit against my will as a detective to do this, but in the virtual world? What's more, examining one's own behavior from the perspective of a crime may also be helpful in future investigations. So......... Game on! ”
Since the first sacrifice was done with Lucifer's help, the second sacrifice began after Lucifer's disappearance. At this point, a name written in blood appears again on the death scroll: Forley.
"Old butler, it's up to you!" Just do it, Zhen Shifeng relied on the information marked on the layout map of the mansion in his memory and soon came to the maid's activity area on the second floor of the East Courtyard. Since it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, an elderly person like Fordley should have already fallen asleep, so it was extremely convenient to get into the dark.
However, as soon as he turned the corner of the stairs, a blinding light shot out from the lounge in front of him. Brother Feng cautiously crouched in front of the door and looked inside, only to see a person sitting on the sofa in the room smoking a cigarette while reading the newspaper in his hand, and this person was the old butler Ford.
According to Lucifer's request, Zhen Shifeng must kill the sacrificed person within fifteen minutes after his name appears, and it has taken nearly five minutes to run from the attic of the West Courtyard to the second floor of the East Courtyard, so he must complete the planning, implementation of the action, and escape from the scene in the next ten minutes.
However, it is not easy to take the life of a person while he is sober, and the perpetrator is still a child who is only five or six years old, and it is difficult to inflict fatal injuries on Fordley in terms of speed or strength, and if the murder fails and attracts the attention of others, the mission will definitely fail.
Therefore, it is particularly important to formulate a detailed and thorough crime plan throughout the crime process.
