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

"Who are you..." Oreki Houtarou's gaze fell on Sai.

“I am the devil.” Sai took a deep breath, his gaze gradually turning cold. “God can’t save you, humans can’t save you, but I can. As long as you are willing to offer your soul to me, I will take you and your wife away from here safely.”

“Devil…” Oreki Houtarou frowned slightly.

"That's right, it's the devil you know."

As black energy gradually emanated from Sai, he coldly said, "I come from the Heian period and have always existed in this world, a demon wandering through it."

As the information was transmitted, Houtarou Oreki gradually came to believe his story.

The devil? Making a pact with the devil?

"This plane crash was caused by a powerful person. Do you want to know who did it? Do you want to know why you've fallen to this state?"

"Make a pact with me, offer your souls to me, and I will tell you the truth of everything, and then take you both back."

A contract slowly appeared in front of Sai.

Houtarou Oreki looked at the contract, a mocking expression gradually appearing on his face: "My soul, in exchange for all this?"

“That’s right, it’s just a soul. It’s not about your lifespan. It’s all fifty years from now. Do you need to care?” Sai looked deeply at Oreki: “It’s easy to understand, isn’t it? Using a tiny, insignificant sacrifice after death to exchange for a peaceful life.”

“That sounds tempting, but… I refuse.” Houtarou Oreki turned his head away.

Normally, he would try to negotiate with this devil to see if he could seal away Eru Oreki's painful memories.

Houtarou Oreki can only imagine how much she struggled and sacrificed for herself back then.

She was originally a very simple and innocent person.

As a result of her vulnerability, she was bullied by a thug...

Houtarou Oreki clenched his fists, wanting to bear everything himself and not let Eru Oreki suffer it.

However, the sound just now was too much like Morse code, and it was the Morse code that he and his sister had agreed upon.

“If you miss this, you don’t know how long you’ll have to wait. Let me tell you, I’m the only one who came to the island this time, and I set off those fireworks.” Sai took a deep breath: “The rescue team will never find you. Do you want to die here alone? Or do you think your soul will go to heaven?”

"Then let us die here alone." Oreki Houtarou's gaze fell on Sai once again.

"Huntaro..."

"Houtarou!"

Oreki Houtarou faintly heard shouts, and Sai quickly blocked out the outside sounds.

“Your life is short, and you’ve already started hallucinating. If it weren’t for performance targets, I wouldn’t be talking to you.” Sai said in a deep voice, “Don’t be ungrateful.”

"An illusion?" Houtarou Oreki laughed. "Demons are indeed amazing, but you can't force me into a contract, can you? Did you notice that the sound of the waves has also disappeared?"

"Waves?" Sai was taken aback.

What kind of time is this to still be paying attention to the sound of the waves?

Damn, how can this person be so shrewd!

…………

“Sai’s time as a devil was too short.” Luo Feng looked at the screen: “Actually, he only had the opportunity to contract with Oreki Eru, not with Houtarou.”

“Yes, although he’s not as smart as Oreki-neechan, he’s just as intelligent, and his choices are often right. You’re the one who disrupted his rhythm.” Shionji Yuuko nodded. “Compared to Oreki-neechan, he’s just less proactive. Sai has made too many mistakes; he shouldn’t have.”

“After all, he has only recently become a devil, and he doesn’t have the potential to become one. That’s normal. Every good devil is a con artist,” Luo Feng said. “And he doesn’t have the potential to become a con artist.”

"Then why did you make him your subordinate?" Shionji Yuko looked at Luo Feng curiously.

"I just wanted to have some fun," Luo Feng said. "This person is a fine blade. If given eternal life and endless tempering, he could even play chess with Tetu in the future."

"I see." Shionji Yuuko said, "Oreki-nee has arrived."

"Houtarou Oreki doesn't even believe Oreki Kimie who appeared at this time. That's interesting." Luo Feng raised the corners of his mouth: "He has a strong sense of self-preservation."

Oreki Kimie also wanted to make a contract with Oreki Houtarou, so that their souls would at least be safe.

"Why doesn't Oreki-nee mention some of their past to convince them?" Shionji Yuuko murmured. "No, demons can see a person's past; that's not believable. The most reasonable thing for Oreki-nee to do now is..."

Oreki Kimie and Sai started mocking each other, talking about the devil's rules.

Left with no other choice, Sai had to cancel his spell and erase his memory of the time he had used it.

Even at this point, Houtarou Oreki still refused to believe it.

However, the rescue team arrived, and all the people were moved onto the boat.

Houtarou Oreki finally believed Kimie Oreki, and Kimie Oreki only revealed the Morse code when he was completely safe.

"Phew, those two intern devils are nowhere near as good as you." Shionji Yuuko hugged an owl plush toy.

"The real show is about to begin. I wonder how much Oreki Kimie will be provoked by what happened to Houtarou?"

Luo Feng held down his hat, ready to reap the rewards.

Chapter 495 Awesome

Luo Feng's figure disappeared, and Shionji Yuko sighed helplessly.

Houtarou Oreki was lying comfortably in the cabin when he suddenly felt the entire sky darken.

A feeling of unease welled up in his heart.

Eru Oreki and Kimie Oreki beside him seemed to have turned into black and white, or rather, the whole world had turned into black and white.

Luo Feng's figure descended above Oreki Houtarou.

"It's you!" Oreki Houtarou's eyes widened.

"Long time no see." Luo Feng smiled and said, "How was it? Surprised? Excited? Happy?"

Houtarou Oreki clenched his fists. He tried to get up, but no matter what he did, he couldn't stand up. The overwhelming sense of oppression made it hard for him to breathe.

He felt something was wrong with him. He should hate this person, but this hatred... it felt a bit like self-hypnosis.

If I've hypnotized myself, there must be a reason, and I can't undo it!

"Do you know why the plane crashed?" Luo Feng looked down at him.

"What do you mean?" Oreki Houtarou was sweating profusely.

"Do you know why all this happened?" Luo Feng didn't answer his question, but continued.

Houtarou Oreki instinctively shook his head.

“Because of your sister…” Luo Feng’s face showed a happy expression: “Because your sister wanted to become a devil, but she had a conflict with another devil during her trial, so she harmed the other devil’s most important person.”

The scenes of Oreki Kimie wanting to become a devil were turned into videos and appeared before Oreki Houtarou's eyes.

Her fervor to become the devil and her weariness of real life have become the trials she is now facing.

How she helped herself, how she fought against humanity, and her madness were all displayed before Houtarou Oreki.

Houtarou Oreki's pupils contracted slightly.

To become a devil?

If given the opportunity, there's a 30% chance my sister would be interested.

But more likely, it's about self-preservation!

He knew very well what kind of person his sister was; in her heart, her brother was more important than anything else.

If becoming a devil conflicts with the possibility of harming herself, she will definitely choose to protect herself rather than become a devil.

What prompted her to want to become a devil, or even to hypnotize herself?

He was certain that his sister had given herself a psychological suggestion, otherwise she wouldn't have acted this way; he knew Oreki Kimie very well.

There is only one possibility: even if she doesn't become a devil, she will still be hurt, and Eru will also be hurt!

Demons are creatures with long lifespans, and he never thought that normal humans could compare to demons.

"And that person, naturally, will seek revenge on you. This plane crash was their doing. Do you know why Oreki Kimie let you go? Because she was afraid of retaliation, but she didn't tell you the truth." Luo Feng said calmly, "You could say that most of the people on this plane died because of her and you."

"If you knew the truth, you might be mentally prepared, but since she chose to hide it, you can only passively take the beating."

"You've hidden the most important point: what role are you playing here?"

It's remarkable that she could remain calm in the face of Oreki Houtarou, and that she couldn't even break free from self-hypnosis under such pressure.

You can criticize me all you want, I don't believe it!

If news reports were believable, China would be in dire straits, many countries would be incredibly backward, and some highly capable people would be mere clowns. But is that really the case?

Oreki Houtarou's lazy personality, his deductive reasoning ability, and his self-confidence allowed him to withstand the pressure from Luo Feng.

He planned to ask his sister afterwards what exactly happened; he wanted her to tell him herself.

If he can't say it, his sister will hint at it to him.

"Me? I'm just their leader. I won't interfere with what they do. If it weren't for me, would any of you have survived?" Luo Feng shook his head: "I'm just cleaning up their mess."

"Clean up the mess? You let us live just to torture us, didn't you? This experience will be a nightmare you can't shake off." Oreki Houtarou gripped the sheets tightly and said coldly, "Are you trying to play mind games with me? Because of my sister and all that, I unconditionally believe her."

“This natural disaster was caused by you, it has nothing to do with my sister. She has her reasons for becoming a devil.”

"Even your wife... you think she has nothing to do with your sister?" Luo Feng stroked his chin.

This young man really trusts his sister.

Wow, surprisingly resilient.

His tenacity is somewhat similar to that of Megumi Kato, unlike that of Alice Tria.

Being rational is a bit boring, little bro.

Forget it, you have to expose someone's weaknesses before you can insult them!

"You did it, not her!" Oreki Houtarou's veins bulged.

"She's amazing!" Luo Feng gave him a thumbs up.

"you!"

Oreki Houtarou can talk to Luo Feng properly, but this self-hypnotized state of not having contact doesn't mean he doesn't hate Luo Feng.

Who is Luo Feng?
