I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

Yukino looked at the group and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Is the kind of relationship where you get married after just one kiss almost extinct in this day and age?

Luo Feng did so many terrible things to me, but he was just treating me like a toy.

Forget about official titles; I'd be grateful if he didn't cause me any more trouble...

Just then, Yukino's phone rang.

She picked it up casually, hummed a few times, and said to the group, "I have something to do, I have to go first, you guys chat for a while."

“I haven’t eaten much yet.” Nagisa Shiota pointed to the delicious food in front of him.

This was his first meeting with Yukino, and he felt that he should chat more as a matter of politeness.

"I'm going to a banquet that I can't refuse..." Yukino said somewhat helplessly, "Let's talk about it next time."

“Okay.” Akabane Karma said, “Be careful on the road… never mind, I don’t think I need to remind you, whoever bumps into you is unlucky.”

Yukino smiled slightly and left the izakaya.

He dedicated his entire day to these few people.

Unfortunately, not all of them attended this class reunion.

There will be a chance, this gentle devil will have the chance to see all his students grow...

Chapter 202 The Gentlest Teacher

After Yukino went outside, she found Luo Feng leaning against the door; it was he who made the call.

"So, are you envious of their friendship?" Luo Feng's gaze fell on Yukino.

"Hmm." Yukino leaned against Luo Feng and whispered, "I didn't expect you to let them meet."

"This is a reward," Luo Feng chuckled. "This guy did a good job handling my affairs."

Luo Feng casually tossed away the souls and talents he traded. He enjoyed the process and the fun it brought, and didn't care what he got in return.

However, what he wants must be something that is very important to the other party, that's for sure.

After Death entered Luo Feng's castle, he carefully categorized all these things, including the souls.

What kind of soul, what kind of torment, can be squeezed to extract the greatest value? What kind of soul is Luo Feng somewhat optimistic about and can be treated specially? What kind of soul is utterly wicked and needs to be given some extra treatment in the abyss?

Not only that, Luo Feng also had a huge pile of messy official business piled up, but he had never dealt with it.

He initially wanted to find a secretary like Yang Nai to help him handle these things.

He couldn't even be bothered to look at those things, let alone deal with them.

Fortunately, he hasn't completely evolved into laziness, otherwise he wouldn't even bother looking for subordinates.

Now they handle the documents for him, and he only needs to sign a few words when he has a spare moment.

Luo Feng felt that giving such efficient subordinates a night off was acceptable.

Normally, when working for him, the working hours are 007, 365, and there are no days off all year round. Whenever Luo Feng needs anything, they have to be available at any time.

Whenever there's something that Luo Feng needs to handle, they have to deal with it immediately.

Even if Luo Feng didn't give them a holiday, they couldn't say anything; that's the rule of hell.

"Why do I always feel like you're not actually that bad?" Yukino said to Luo Feng. "This time... you did something good for society."

"Good or bad, it doesn't matter to me. I do things as I please." Luo Feng said, "But you, your transactions used to be one or two weeks or a few months, but now it's been fifteen years. That means you've given me your most valuable years."

“It doesn’t matter.” Yukino looked at the ground. “You’ll always find a way to get me to make a deal, won’t you? It’s just a matter of time.”

"Hmm." Luo Feng nodded: "So, are you envious of Nagisa Shiota's ability? If you are, I can sell it to you, as long as you give up one-tenth of your soul."

"No." Yukino shook her head decisively: "My soul is currently pledged to you. If I make even the slightest move, the Yukinoshita clan will be finished, won't they?"

"Tsk, you actually figured it out." Luo Feng laughed, "I was thinking of tricking you a little, and getting your mother and sister to sell something else while I was at it."

Yukino felt a chill run down her spine.

Sure enough, the idea that he was a good person was just a misconception!

Luo Feng acts entirely based on his mood, without any sense of right or wrong.

Sometimes, people like him are more terrifying than purely evil people.

"You can handle the rest yourself." Luo Feng straightened up and stretched.

"Uesaki Naoto's mother..." Yukino couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache: "How should I tell her?"

“Tell me the truth or lie to her for a few years,” Luo Feng said. “If you need to forge letters or videos, or even a dummy, just tell me. As long as you can afford the price, I can even bring him back to life.”

“Life and death are the laws of nature; he died to redeem himself.” Yukino shared the same sentiment as Laffey: “If he were brought back to life, he would probably live a life of suffering…”

"Whatever you want," Luo Feng said. "This has nothing to do with me. It's fine if you don't go looking for his mother."

“I will go,” Yukino said to Luo Feng.

"Good luck." Luo Feng's squinty eyes widened slightly: "The faster the better, after all... Uesaki Naoto and Sakurai came out together and were the first to be photographed."

Yukino's pupils contracted slightly, and she quickly looked at Luo Feng: "You mean, his mother will see the photos of his death?"

"Who knows?" Luo Feng said slowly, "It would be abnormal for her not to look for her son who has been missing for a whole semester."

Yukino took a deep breath; all she could think about was helping Uesaki Naoto sabotage the experiment.

These past few days, she's been incredibly busy cleaning up the mess and investigating who committed the crime. She finally got a break tonight.

If Luo Feng hadn't brought it up, she would have completely forgotten about it!

No, I'll check her information tomorrow, then go find her and calm her down first, lest she be heartbroken over losing her child and do something foolish.

…………

The atmosphere outside was heavy, but the atmosphere inside the house was quite pleasant.

Even someone as wary as Akabane Karma opened up and talked about some things in his life.

Of course, they would never talk about assassinations or anything like that.

"Youth is wonderful," the bespectacled man couldn't help but sigh. "Tsk, I really wonder what it will be like when you two settle down and start a family."

"Talking with you guys makes me feel younger," Yukimura Akuri said with a smile, covering her mouth.

"I had a really good chat today. It's been a long time since I've met someone I click with so well." Akabane Karma took a sip of draft beer. "You guys know so much."

"Yes, thank you very much. Were you teachers before? You seem to know a lot about teachers," said Nagisa Shiota.

"When I was young, I would think about how my teachers treated me and how much better it would be if they treated me differently. That's how I came to this conclusion," the bespectacled man said. "Think about it, isn't that the truth?"

“It still gave me a lot of inspiration,” said Nagisa Shiota.

He puts it simply, but sometimes students' perspectives on teachers and their expectations of them are often wrong. However, in Nagisa Shiota's view, this person's teaching philosophy is not wrong at all, and it suits his taste perfectly.

"It's about time for today." Akabane Karma glanced at his watch and said to the bespectacled man, "If I have the chance in the future, I'll come here for drinks again. Will you guys always be here?"

The bespectacled man and Yukimura Akuri paused for a moment, and the bespectacled man slowly shook his head.

"No, this shop belongs to a friend; we were just helping out. Now that we've earned enough money, we're planning to travel," the bespectacled man said softly. "If fate allows, we'll meet again."

After today, I don't know when I'll have a holiday, or even if I will have one at all.

The two were already very satisfied to have met these disciples.

Hopefully, they can continue to be like they are now, never losing their way and steadfastly pursuing their own path.

Chapter 203 I Have No Regrets

The next day, after Yukino found information about Naoto Uesaki's mother, she went through many people and, when she felt that she wouldn't be able to find her, she called his mother and incidentally gave Naoto Uesaki the so-called identity of an undercover police officer.

This was supposed to be a test for getting into police academy, but no one expected the other side to have such a large number of weapons and personnel.

When his mother heard about her son's death, she didn't cry. She didn't care about the so-called subsidies or the so-called remains. Her last question was whether her son's death had any value and whether it really made more people's lives better.

After receiving a definite answer, she remained strong and did not appear to have any suicidal thoughts because of this incident.

It takes courage to commit suicide, and the years of forbearance for her son had long since extinguished that courage.

However, sometimes, not having that kind of courage is a good thing.

This experiment has hurt many people, and it has shattered more than one family.

Unfortunately, because of Yukino's official position, she cannot openly contact these people...

From the police's perspective, Naoto Uesaki was definitely a deeply hidden undercover agent; otherwise, there would be no way to explain why he would suddenly launch an attack and suddenly become like a superhero.

Just after Yukino's helper hung up the phone, Naoto Uesaki's mother sat alone on the bed, staring blankly.

"Madam, are you very sad?"

Just then, a voice rang in her ears.

She silently turned her head and saw a strangely dressed man who had appeared in her room at some point.

He had squinty eyes and a gentle smile on his face.

"Who are you?" Naoto Uesaki's mother was not afraid, nor did she shout; her heart was already dead.

"Do you want to see your son?" Luo Feng smiled and said, "I am a devil, a devil who helps people fulfill their wishes."

"I saw him? My son?" Naoto Uesaki's mother's eyes widened. "Will I ever see him again?"

“Of course, and I assure you it’s not entirely an illusion.” Luo Feng said softly, “He sold his soul for his own redemption. His body may be dead, but his soul remains, right here with me.”

“Soul…” Naoto Uesaki’s mother murmured, “How can I believe you…”

She has dreamed of her son many times in the past few days, and each time he dies in front of her.

He's had this dream too many times already. Is today's one new one?

"You can only trust me." Luo Feng presented three contracts: "I'll give you four choices."

"The first option is that your son sells his soul to me, and he will be forever condemned to hell. If you sign this contract, your soul will also belong to me, and you will bear half of his suffering."

"The second option is for you to sell your entire lifespan to me, and I will allow you and your son's souls to spend your lives in a fictional world. However, this is just a dream; it is real for the two of you, but a dream for the world."

"Of course, after this dream is over, your soul will be completely annihilated by me and become nourishment for the abyss. Otherwise, I believe there are countless people who do not want a real life but want a dream like this."
