Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

"You mean"

Jiang Lu vaguely saw a thread that seemed to be there and not there:
"Is hell next?"

"I'm not sure, but I don't rule it out."

Lucifer shook his head:

“And even if the realms of the dead in all worlds are targeted one after another, hell may not be the next one. There are many similar places, such as the underworld of Helheim in Northern Europe, the dead world in Egypt, and the city of Yama in India.

It’s just that their leader was not present at this meeting of the Yin Emperor, and I am the only one in charge of the Kingdom of Death, which is something I am more concerned about.”

"No, that's not quite right."

Jiang Lu felt that what Lucifer said was not accurate:
"Of the places you mentioned, Helheim is too far away and has always been neutral. Yama City is close, and Yama likes to stir up trouble, but he is just a clown and not an important character. As for the world of the dead, Anubis and Ra are in cahoots, which strictly speaking does not conform to the characteristics of the world of the living and the world of the dead being separated and independent.

As for other places, such as the Yellow Springs in Japan, they are not even worthy of being mentioned in the public eye.

In fact, the only three places that meet the characteristics, are heavyweight enough and have strategic significance are the underworld, Hades and Hell.

If the underworld and the netherworld have both suffered heavy losses, it seems that hell is also unavoidable.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the underworld and the underworld are really being calculated.”

"Hmm," Lucifer pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "However, if many coincidences occur at the same time, linking together a complete series of events, then perhaps it should not be called a coincidence, right?"

"I thought so."

Jiang Lu nodded:
"And after you reminded me, I suddenly had a new guess."

"You said."

"I made the underworld independent from the Three Pure Ones. From now on, the underworld is the underworld and the heaven is the heaven. It makes no difference to the heaven whether I am the leader or not.

On the surface, Hades and Zeus are friendly brothers, but in fact, Hades went to the underworld because he failed in the initial fight for the throne. It is hard to say that there is no grudge between them. Even though Zeus is now promoting an alliance, he is probably just afraid that the influence of Mount Olympus will be undermined. What he really cares about is the underworld, not Hades.

After the war in the underworld began, it should have been Hades who promoted the anti-war alliance, but in the end it was Zeus who took the lead. Hades himself never showed up, and I have never heard of him doing anything anywhere. This is very strange.

And you are at odds with God, and the conflict is open, and you are in hell, and God may be happier than anyone else."

"So." Lucifer had already guessed what Jiang Lu wanted to say.

"If there is a real target, maybe it's not targeting a certain place. We can see it from the situation of Yin Di. The thing behind him is manipulating the underworld to achieve a certain purpose."

Jiang Lu said solemnly, word by word:

"We should be the ones being targeted."

"In other words, you think this meeting is a Hongmen Banquet?" Lucifer asked thoughtfully, "In addition to prompting the alliance to start a world war, the people behind the Yin Emperor also want to harm me?"

"It's hard to say." Jiang Lu didn't finish his words: "All I can say is that it's best to be prepared."

"I understand." Lucifer became serious: "I will be careful. Anyway, we will know when the time comes."

"When does the meeting start?"

"tomorrow."

Jiang Lu was stunned and couldn't help laughing: "Then you are quite good. There is such a big thing tomorrow, but you still come out to have fun today."

"There's nothing I can do. As a leader, I still have to do my best to meet the needs of my subordinates."

Lucifer explained helplessly:

"They have been staying in the mansion for many days. They are almost going crazy. Especially Asmodeus, who sneaked out to have fun last night and got cheated out of a lot of money. I had no choice but to agree to take them out for some fun. As for me, if I hadn't met you, I would have gone back by now."

Although he said it seriously, Jiang Lu didn't believe it at all.

He smiled meaningfully: "I understand. I understand your rhetoric very well."

"Look, you don't believe me even though I told you." Lucifer sighed innocently.

After a few jokes, the tense atmosphere was relieved a lot.

Checking the time, Lucifer asked, "They should be finishing soon, right?"

Jiang Lu estimated and shook his head: "It will take some time. This is a project I developed personally, and the process is not short. It should have just started to work on it, unless they are quick-acting people."

"It shouldn't be that bad." Lucifer was not very clear about how long the fight between Samael and Asmodeus would last, but he estimated that they would not perform too badly. At least Asmodeus would grit his teeth and persevere even if he couldn't do it anymore, for the sake of Hell's face.

Although Lucifer didn't know what was so good about arguing about this kind of face.

"Anyway, we still have a while, we can drink tea and chat." Jiang Lu pointed to the cup in front of Lucifer: "It's cold. The tea here is very good. I drank several cups, and you haven't touched anything yet."

“I don’t drink this.”

Jiang Lu asked casually, "Are you not used to drinking tea?"

"That's not the case." Lucifer shook his head and took out a finger-sized bottle model from his pocket.

But when the model was placed on the table, it suddenly expanded into a thermos cup with a capacity of about two liters.

“This is all I drink now.”

Jiang Lu took the thermos cup curiously and unscrewed the cap directly: "What good stuff is that? Let me see it."

But I didn't expect that as soon as I opened the cup, an unpleasant smell came out of it.

"What the hell?" Jiang Lu frowned in disgust.

He looked closely and saw that the cup was filled with strange things.

There were scorpion tails and snake teeth, white bones and rotten flesh, as well as unknown roots, stems and petals. The water they were soaked in emitted a strange green light. Jiang Lu felt his eyes hurt just by putting his face in the cup.

This suddenly reminded him of what he had learned in the orphanage.

When smelling ammonia, you cannot smell it directly with your nose. Instead, you should stand at a distance from the bottle mouth and then use your hands to fan the smell over.

Lucifer took the thermos back, took a sip under Jiang Lu's horrified gaze, and then made a happy sound.

"No buddy, are you really drinking?"

Jiang Lu couldn't believe it. What's the difference between this and eating shit?
Lucifer screwed the cap on the bottle and explained nonchalantly, "This is for health care. It's all rare treasures from hell. Although the smell is not very good, it's still good once you get used to it."

"You call this bad? Even manure doesn't smell this strong!"

Jiang Lu first complained subconsciously, and then felt strange: "You still need to maintain your health? Really?" "I can't help it. I'm old enough now. I just need to take care of my health."

Lucifer suddenly said mysteriously:

"I'm telling you something, don't tell anyone else."

"what?"

"There may be something wrong with my body, and it's something I can't even detect."

Lucifer said with some distress:
“Some time ago, I forgot how long it was, I suddenly felt like I couldn’t breathe, as if someone was strangling my throat.

I tried my best but couldn't get rid of that feeling. For a moment, I felt like I might suffocate in the next second.

But the strange thing is that apart from that, my body was not affected in any other way. The feeling appeared without any warning and then disappeared suddenly. I didn't even have time to react to what was going on.

I once suspected that I was cursed, and even sneaked into heaven to see if it was God's doing, but I found nothing.

This incident troubled me for a while, and I was quite sure that it was caused by some force beyond my understanding.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

From then on, I started to take care of my health and support my wife. I quit smoking, drinking and staying up late. I was worried that any bad habit might give that invisible force an opportunity to take advantage of me. So when I said that I should be asleep by now normally, I was not lying to you. My daily routine is really regular now.

But what you just said did give me some ideas. Do you think this is a sign that I'm being targeted? Is it possible that it has already tried to control me?
Oh, by the way, I have never told anyone about this. Even when I encountered this situation for the first time, I did not behave strangely in front of anyone. I had to maintain my strong appearance in front of them, so you must keep it a secret for me.

Hmm? Why aren't you talking? Are you listening? "

"Ah? Oh." Jiang Lu came back to his senses: "I'm listening."

Then Jiang Lu asked: "Have you encountered it again after that?"

"Not really, but I'm worried it will happen again." Lucifer said with some fear: "I haven't experienced this kind of sudden crisis in many years. It's a terrible feeling, it's simply a nightmare."

After hearing that Lucifer never experienced it again, Jiang Lu already understood what was going on.

He previously had a prop called the [Joker Mask], which was used to transfer a fatal injury to Lucifer.

When he was in the spiritual realm of [Curse of Shame], he once encountered a fatal blow from the god Luger when he was fighting against the opponent. He was almost strangled to death at that time. Fortunately, he had a clown mask to transfer the damage.

Now it seems that the feeling of suffocation without warning that Lucifer mentioned should be the effect of the transferred damage.

I didn't expect this matter would bother Lucifer for so long.

All I can say is that when Jiang Lu put on the mask, the hell in the Pacific Ocean triggered an earthquake.

This is the charm of the butterfly effect!
But it was impossible to tell Lucifer about this, never in my lifetime.

So Jiang Lu could only nod his head with a strange expression, and followed Lucifer's words and said: "It seems that health preservation is effective. If that was really an attempt on you, it only means that you are much stronger than the Yin Emperor. You easily resolved it, and the other party has never found an opportunity to take advantage of it since then."

"Fortunately, you are very vigilant. If it were me, I might have been fooled." Jiang Lu complimented Lucifer with a guilty conscience.

"I do feel a lot better if you say that."

Lucifer suddenly felt as touched as if he had met a soulmate.

He took out the thermos cup again: "Why don't you take a sip? Only you can make me feel equal and relaxed without having to worry about anything. Although we haven't met many times, you just make me feel very comfortable with you. This is really wonderful."

"Uh," Jiang Lu rejected him and raised his water cup: "I'd rather drink tea."

But Lucifer didn't give up: "Take care of yourself, it won't hurt."

Jiang Lu still waved his hand: "I have died once, there is no need for me to maintain my health. I was reincarnated to enjoy life. I was maintaining my health before I died, and I have to maintain my health after I die. Then, wouldn't my life be in vain?"

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Jiang Lu looked towards the main door and said, "Enter."

Afterwards, the head of Jiuyou Pavilion personally opened the door and welcomed in two figures, one tall and one short.

"Is it over?" Lucifer quietly put away the thermos and nodded to Samael and Asmodeus.

Jiang Lu was slightly surprised: "So fast?"

As soon as he said this, Asmodeus's expression instantly lost a lot of color.

Without waiting for Jiang Lu to ask, Samael excitedly gave Jiang Lu a thumbs up and said, "Great, so great, the Lord of the Underworld is indeed worthy of his reputation. I can only say that this trip was worthwhile, worthwhile!"

As soon as Jiang Lu saw it, he knew that the other party had been impressed by his strength.

He waved his hand modestly: "Just enjoy yourself, it's a pity, I don't know how many generations this has been, if it were those courtesans I personally trained, tut tut tut."

"That's enough. That's enough." Samael's face flushed. "I'm already a little weak in the knees."

But Asmodeus remained silent.

Jiang Lu asked curiously: "Why, are you not satisfied?"

"No, it's not."

"What happened?"

Asmodeus did not answer Jiang Lu, but looked at Lucifer, and said with difficulty, gritting his teeth: "I'm sorry, I have brought shame to Hell."

After that, before Lucifer could ask him what he meant, Asmodeus half-knelt down and said, "I am here to resign. I don't think I am worthy of being a lustful demon."

"Oh, this." Jiang Lu looked embarrassed.

Lucifer found it funny. "Not really, really not. You know, although the one in front of you was as powerful as any top god, he was famous for his promiscuity. So it's not shameful to lose to him. This is not the main attraction of Hell. Don't put so much psychological pressure on yourself."

"No, no, I've made up my mind."

Asmodeus lowered his head, his eyes wide open, staring at the cracks in the floor, his face full of veins, and roared:
"If I lose, I lose! And your consolation will only make me feel worse. A demon named Lust is not as good as Yin Lord in terms of career and hobbies. I have lost the qualification to use the name Lust!

But please rest assured, I don't really intend to step down, I just feel that I am not capable of shouldering this responsibility right now.

I hope that after I leave office, I can temporarily follow the Lord of Yin to learn. After I have mastered the true meaning of lust, I will return to Hell. By then, I will truly promote lust and spread the power of Hell!"

Lucifer and Jiang Lu were silent for a moment and complained almost at the same time.

"What do you mean by learning from foreigners to defeat them?"

"Hell doesn't need this kind of reputation!!" (End of this chapter)
