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

Chapter 503 Without Desire, One is Invincible

The next day, at the television station.

Oreki Kimie worked diligently, analyzing the veracity of each piece of intelligence. Following Luo Feng's example, she gradually manipulated some souls, and now she had six souls at her disposal.

It has to be said that she was far more competent at being a devil than Luo Feng.

She knew what kind of soul was considered high-quality to Luo Feng. The people she traded with were all truly evil, each with power and influence, and the police and media couldn't touch them.

Such people are often driven by desires; they trade their lifespan, their money, and their souls for the gift of wood, and they've already made their fortune in just a few days.

In addition, she has a large amount of intelligence that she can easily find by simply flipping through the database in her mind.

She was surprised to find that even if she signed three contracts a day, she still couldn't clear the database in her brain in a year. There were just too many bad people.

Compared to her, Sai is far inferior, managing to acquire only one soul every three days on average, and even that is highly biased.

Oreki Kimie suddenly realized that what she was doing now, which seemed like a devil's contract, was actually also a bit like punishing evil and promoting good?

The devil needs souls that are sinful. As long as they don't have a collecting obsession like Luo Feng, they don't need to harm ordinary people at all.

For example, in Oreki Kimie's view, spending time on Kato Megumi's soul is a completely unprofitable investment.

"Oreki-nee, this is my interview for today."

Kato Megumi, the TV station's star reporter from the previous year, placed a stack of documents in front of Oreki Kimie.

As her presence became more and more noticeable, more and more colleagues discovered her strengths. Suddenly, she had more friends and social engagements. Some even suggested that she debut as an idol to see if she could save the TV station's performance.

This well-known journalist is often specifically requested to attend large-scale press conferences.

I don't know why, but when viewers see Megumi Kato on TV, they feel that she is reliable and reassuring.

In the past, she would never have had such an opportunity.

Thanks to Mingzhi, her salary and bonuses skyrocketed every month, and she no longer needed to freeload off Luo Feng.

"Phew, well done." Oreki Kimie took the documents from her hand. "You have three interview appointments today."

"Huh? Aren't there four?" Kato Megumi tilted her head. "That idol, what's her name again? Hmm... Nanase Karin, isn't she also going to hold a press conference?"

"Hmph, an idol of that caliber isn't worthy of your interview." Oreki Kimie said, "Phew, has Luo Feng been giving you or anyone around you any trouble lately?"

"No." Kato Megumi shook her head silently.

"Well, as expected, one who is without desires is invincible." Oreki Kimie sighed, "But my younger brother and sister-in-law, in the end, couldn't escape it."

“Weren’t you prepared for this from the beginning?” Kato Megumi said, “I don’t think this can be blamed on me. He was interested in me because you sent me to his izakaya. He wanted to mess with me and Eriri as well. The root of the problem is you.”

"There's no point in saying this." Oreki Kimie shook her head. "I've never blamed you. Speaking of which, with your current high profile, you must have quite a few admirers, right?"

"There are quite a few, but I guess I shouldn't be able to date anyone, right? If I were to date someone, I'd be completely ruining their life," Kato Megumi said. "He's quite possessive."

"Yes," Oreki Kimie smiled slightly, "To be honest, do you actually have any plans to become an idol? Every girl dreams of being an idol, right?"

“No, being an idol is boring. I have enough money to live on now,” Kato Megumi said.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now." Oreki Kimie nodded.

Oreki Kumie continued her work.

More than an hour later, she stretched and looked around her room.

"Huh? Why are you still here?" Oreki Kimie was taken aback.

“There are still ten minutes left.” Kato Megumi tilted her head. “I don’t have anywhere to go, so I’ll just browse Twitter here.”

"I see." Oreki Kimie suddenly felt something was off: "Kime, you're so noticeable, how come I didn't even notice you just now?"

"Hmm? Come to think of it, I received fewer emails today than usual." Kato Megumi glanced at her phone.

Oreki Kimie quickly realized what Luo Feng was thinking, but she didn't intend to expose him.

She knew how important Kato Megumi was to Luo Feng, and she didn't want to offend him because of this.

The souls of her younger siblings are indeed in her hands, but if Luo Feng really wants them, it's just a matter of a word.

Damn it, no wonder the most powerful demons are all a bunch of emotionless lunatics, so this is the biggest problem!

Once feelings are involved, it's like having a weakness, like having something on Luo Feng's hands.

"Alright, I should get going now."

Kato Megumi stood up and walked outside.

She didn't take the tram, but drove her own car, which was provided to her by the TV station. Now that she's a well-known reporter who frequently interviews big shots, her car symbolizes the TV station's prestige.

She successfully organized the press conference and interviews, and then aired it on January 5th.

The problem is that these interviews have received a lukewarm response, the ratings haven't gone up, and there are far fewer comments about the beautiful female reporter on the screen.

…………

Kato Megumi glanced at the calendar; it was January 5th.

She's currently alone in her rented apartment. In the past few days, she's noticed that fewer people are asking her out each day. Fewer comments on her live streams are a minor issue. Even the number of people turning their heads on the street and being followed by stalkers has decreased.

Although this gave her a lot more peace and quiet, she still felt a slight sense of unease.

Hmm, it's become outdated too quickly.

She lay in bed and slowly started scrolling through Twitter.

She discovered that the person who played Nanase Karin had posted a tweet denying the false claim that Nanase Karin had murdered her father.

Kato Megumi shook her head.

Why are journalists disliked? Because they can make the false seem true.

Why are keyboard warriors so scary? Because they only believe what they want to believe, and simply typing on a keyboard can push a person into the eye of the storm of public opinion.

Regardless of whether the other party denied it or not, she was certain that Nanase Karin was probably finished.

She put down her phone and silently recalled her recent experiences, as if storing a precious memory.

It seems that this kind of life is going to be a thing of the past for her. She quickly realized that Luo Feng was behind it, and she is slowly adjusting and adapting.

Renting a luxury car doesn't mean you can afford to drive one, and staying in a five-star hotel doesn't mean you actually have the financial means. In any case, this kind of lifestyle was never meant for you, so it's not a big deal if you lose it.

Riding in luxury cars and living in mansions all the time, does she really think she's a rich girl?

Kato Megumi turned off her phone, bought a bunch of things for her family, and then she ran out of money and needed to plan her expenses.

Wait a minute, is my performance not good enough to get first place?

P.S.: "I've been adding points for three thousand years"

"I want to go home."

"Please be aware that the God above gods, the God of all gods, the one and only God, the supreme God... your points are not yet complete!"

"Fang Kaiwo, I'm not a god, I'm a human being! I'm a human being!"

"Yes, your race has been anchored as 'human', and the timeline has been modified so that your race is now 'human'."

"Huh? Just the word 'person'? That's it? Isn't it human?"

"Race name: Human. This is a registered trademark. Given that there are too many powerful humans, it is impossible to forcibly change the name of the human race. It is recommended to blend in with them."

"..." (One punch)

"Looks like we can finally get out of here... My home planet Earth, I'm coming to find you!"

Chapter 504 Want to Get Freebies

Another week passed, at the izakaya.

"Oh, you're back?" Luo Feng couldn't help but find it a little funny to see Yukino finally return.

It's just one against four, what's there to be so upset about?

It has to be said that Yukino's expression at that moment was as if the sky was about to fall, especially since she was the only one who resisted, which further shattered her worldview.

At that moment, she thought, "Don't you have any sense of shame at all?"

My sister had no choice, but what about that woman?

Damn it, you're laughing so happily, it's like you've gained something from Luo Feng but lost something?

Actually, if you really have to calculate it, Luo Feng actually lost out.

However, the pleasure Yukino brought him at that time was definitely worth the price.

These days, Luo Feng has found that after clearing up his karma, he feels incredibly relaxed.

He doesn't bother to think about obsessions, what he should do, or what the right way to do things is. That's what laziness looks like.

"Hmph!" Yukino glared at him, then strode up to him. "Was the Ogawa family case your doing?"

If it weren't for the case she had to solve, she would rather live in the Metropolitan Police Department every day than come back. This bastard always manages to lower the bar for her understanding of the world.

Also, the devil's stamina is amazing!

"I didn't do it." Luo Feng shook his head.

It's not like he's the only devil; Lafite and Oreki Kōe are both working hard to achieve their performance targets.

Gabriel's performance is about to surpass his. The monarch election is in June this year, and Luo Feng is already thinking about what expression to use when he cries.

Once Gabriel becomes the monarch, I'll use her as a footrest, and then hang Laffey up and beat her.

Luo Feng desperately needs this kind of puppet ruler.

If you do something excessive and are questioned by Gabriel, just say, "It's just Lady Gabriel's mission."

Just thinking about Gabriel's expression makes me want to laugh.

"Didn't you do it..." Yukino pondered, "...does it have anything to do with you guys?"

"Why should I tell you?" Luo Feng said, "You stay out all night every day, I'm being lenient by not giving you a beating."

"Okay, why did it take you so long to tell me?" Yukino took a deep breath.

"If you work out the muscles in your tongue, I'll tell you..."
