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

If everyone dies, he'll die too, right?

"After I adopt you, I will send you to school every day, let you sleep for eight hours, play with your friends, and let you frolic with your peers," Luo Feng said calmly. "Then, I will let you eat normally, never drink Dr. Pepper again, and delete all your programs."

"Are you a devil?" Shionji Yuko trembled all over as Luo Feng basically listed all the things she hated.

"Of course! And your answer? Will you help me or accept all of this?" Luo Feng smiled and said, "I would have done it anyway without your involvement. You're a top-notch hacker, don't you really want to deal with artificial intelligence and see just how big the gap really is?"

"If you need help, I can find someone for you anytime."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm still here, no one can catch you, and no one can even convict you."

Shionji Yuko fell silent.

It must be said that Luo Feng's threat was very effective, and she did indeed want to test her skills against artificial intelligence to see just how big the gap was between the two sides.

That AI may look like a virtual idol, but her online power is not to be underestimated. If her program hadn't been restricted, who knows how far she could have grown by now.

As for Luo Feng saying that no one can catch her?

She had no intention of believing the devil's words.

He seems to be treating me well now, probably because I'm still useful, nothing more.

Seriously, when will my heaven stand up and subdue this devil? I'm so angry and cold!

“I agree.” Shionji Yuko let out a sigh of relief: “Why do you need an ordinary person like me to do this? You are very strong yourself, okay? Under absolute power, any scheme is futile.”

“No, I was outmaneuvered.” Luo Feng smiled and said, “You did a great job. If it weren’t for Altair, I would have found it very interesting.”

Without Altair, he wouldn't even kill a single one. As a reward for defeating him, he would let those people return safely, and then wait for those worlds to stabilize before settling scores one by one and torturing them to death...

“That’s based on the premise that Heaven and some other seemingly strong guys are involved,” said Shionji Yuko. “The cards I have right now are simply not enough to shake you.”

"So, don't always try to shake me." Luo Feng pinched her nose: "You just need to be obedient."

"As for the reason, it's like how humans enjoy watching animal fights; my mindset is the same as yours."

"A plaything?" Shionji Yuko's body trembled.

“That’s right. If you enjoy toying with other life forms, you should be prepared to be toyed with by higher-level life forms,” Luo Feng said.

"And what about you? Have you ever been manipulated?"

“I have, but I am not strong enough now.” Luo Feng looked towards the distant east, as if he had crossed countless dimensions: “When I get tired of everything, that will be the time for me to seek death. If you want to play with me, you must be prepared to pay the price for my backlash.”

“But we cannot turn against you…” Yuko Shionji sighed.

"Who knows? Maybe the person I killed will reincarnate someday, and I'll become the big boss he has to defeat. He'll have a bunch of amazing adventures, and in the end, he'll stand in front of me and kill me. These are all very possible things! If this were a novel, I'd probably be the villainous big boss, right?" Luo Feng sighed.

"Maybe. Okay, tell me your goal. What do I need to do?" Shionji Yuko didn't want to discuss this anymore; she was too tired.

“I’ll bring you a helper for this. Come in.” Luo Feng looked towards the door.

Click.

Oreki Kimie opened the door and came in.

"I'm here." Oreki Kimie rubbed her temples. "You're being unreasonable. She knows so much information that I don't."

“This is the second test I’m giving you: win this war,” Luo Feng said. “If you win the test and move on to the next stage, and if you can guess what I’m going to do next and help me prepare, then I can promote you to the devil. Remember, you’re now in charge of your future boss. Provide him with valuable advice; he’s a seasoned killer.”

"Furthermore, I will be inside as well, but I will not use any extraordinary powers, only ordinary ones. If you can recognize me, I will give you some extra rewards."

"Tsk, I'm just an editor-in-chief..."

"Do you want to become a devil? If you become a devil and fulfill my prerequisites, as long as you get the performance bonus of two souls, I will grant you special permission to travel to another world, the safe kind."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

“Okay, I agree.” Oreki Kimie perked up.

She had waited so long, and finally this opportunity had arrived.

She doesn't care whether Luo Feng is playing her or not. She only has a chance if she does something; otherwise, she has no chance at all!

Watching Luo Feng leave, Shionji Yuko looked at Oreki Kimie with a complicated expression: "Did you deliberately jump into the fire, or do you want to be a bad person?"

"Do you really think you can escape after getting to know him? Haven't you noticed that among the people around him, my outcome is the best, from a human perspective?"

Chapter 451 Mission Begins

Death confirmed the number of people on the mission; it was indeed nineteen, making twenty if you included him.

Originally, the mission was supposed to be a team of nine people, but now it has been changed to a team of eighteen people, instead of using two temporarily put-together teams.

Death's current identity is the strategist of this team who is on vacation. He came back specifically to carry out this mission, while Luo Feng changed their perception, making them feel that there should always be this many people.

Luo Feng's abilities are the average of everyone except the Grim Reaper. He has a lecherous personality and is the captain's older brother.

Death fiddled with his earpiece. This was the aid that Luo Feng had promised to provide. All the other weapons, equipment, and vehicles were provided by the mission team, which was very generous.

For these mercenaries who have experienced bloodshed on the battlefield, these are incredibly rare opportunities.

"The route has been determined, and the operation will take place at 3 a.m., a time when people are very weak."

“Our advantage lies in the initiative. They somehow got wind of this and have a certain fighting force within their ranks. What we can confirm is that they have three professional bodyguards and the assistance of the police,” Death said.

"Ha, police?" the captain said disdainfully. "Everyone has seen the capabilities of the Japanese police. What kind of waves can they make? Can they even hit someone from fifty meters away?"

“But the person we’re trying to kidnap is a former diplomat, a member of the Spencer family. The British Spencer family is a long-established and powerful family; there might be some hidden experts among them,” Death said. “My requirements are simple: achieve results with zero casualties.”

"Zero casualties?" The captain was taken aback.

That has never actually been achieved. When carrying out missions in other countries, it is common for several people to die.

“That’s right, we can’t underestimate our opponent this time. We’re in the shadows while they’re in the open, but I don’t know how much security they have. This time, apart from three people who used live ammunition, the rest of us used tranquilizer darts, while they might have live ammunition.” Death said, “Even if we can ignore the patrol officers on the street, if they call for backup, it will cause trouble for our retreat.”

"Why can't we use live ammunition?"

"Yeah, can't we make a big fuss about this mission?"

"This mission is so frustrating!"

"Because we're kidnapping, not killing. If the hostages are accidentally shot, who will be responsible? This client is the most generous we've ever encountered." Death looked around. "Or are you saying you can't fight without live ammunition?"

Everyone remained silent.

That's right, as long as the money is there, it's fine.

The three people using live ammunition were Death, the captain, and the team's sniper.

When their lives are threatened, they will still shoot and kill, regardless of who is not their target.

"However, for everyone's safety, each person will be issued a revolver loaded with three live rounds," Death said. "Unless absolutely necessary, anyone who uses it will have their bonus halved, and that half will be distributed among everyone. Any objections?"

"No objections!"

"Alright, let's get ready to move in. Let me see what kind of trouble they've given us..."

…………

Meanwhile, at the Sawamura family home.

Karasuma Tadashi had already set up defenses and was just waiting for the enemy to be captured.

Irina has successfully infiltrated the mansion, using her excellent makeup skills and acting to replace a maid. Since she sleeps in the maid's room and doesn't move around much, none of the professional bodyguards have noticed her presence.

Akari Yukimura's room is next to Eriri's room, ready to provide support at any time.

Yukino, one of the two detectives, was assigned to a nearby location with good observation opportunities.

Hayami Rinka observes from a distance, Akabane Karma stands by nearby, Fuwa Yuuki provides sniping support, and Karasuma Tadashi himself also observes nearby.

There were also three bodyguards inside, which seemed like an excellent lineup. Even Karasuma Tadashi himself didn't expect to have such useful people as Akabane Karma and Yukimura Akari to help him. He thought it would be good enough if he could get a few rookie police officers.

Moreover, with the AI ​​Xiaolu helping him monitor the surveillance, he couldn't think of any other way the other party could turn the tables.

But his soldier's instincts made him feel a slight unease and chill.

Hmm... it is indeed a bit cold at this time.

Time flew by, and it slowly came to three o'clock. The two criminal cases that Yukino had arranged were visibly declining, while Karasuma and the others, as well as Yukino herself, were still in good condition.

The difference in strength between them is obvious at a glance.

"Xiao Lu, report the situation," said Wu Jian Weichen.

"Nothing was found; the area is the same as before."

"Gentlemen, report the situation," Karasuma Tadashi continued, "Kasei."

"normal."

"normal……"

After a series of normal events, one of the young detectives had already assumed that the other party was not coming.

He was even wondering if Inspector Yukinoshita had been tricked and was desperate to make a name for himself.

The new broom sweeps clean, and instead of treating everyone to a big meal, she's making him do all the work. Seriously, she must have worked incredibly hard to get promoted like this.

“There was a truck parked at a warehouse about a kilometer away. The security camera there was blurry, so the view was not very clear.”

Listening to the report from Ritsu through his earpiece, Karasuma Tadashi frowned slightly, instinctively feeling that things were not so simple.

"When did that camera break?" Wu Jian asked coldly.

"We didn't notice; it was too far away from us."

"Is that so? Is it possible to get here quietly from there?"

"There is a forest in between, and Ye is guarding the forest. Rinka is also observing from a distance. It is impossible to remain silent."

Are there security cameras in the house watching that area?

"No."

"Inspector Yukinoshita, please arrange for someone to go into the woods to cover for you. We can't leave any openings," Karasuma Tadashi said.

Although Akabane Karma was on guard, he was still somewhat uneasy.

"Okay," Yukino replied.

She had already witnessed Karasuma Tadashi's professionalism and wouldn't act recklessly at a time like this.
