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

what happened?

Why is Yinzi vomiting blood?

Why did she look neither happy nor shy, but rather panicked and desperate?

Sora's face was wet with tears, fresh blood clung to the corners of her mouth, and even her clothes were stained red.

What on earth is going on?!

"I'll handle it. I'm going to find that guy. I'll handle it." Sora Ginko roared. This time, she moved incredibly fast, as if her long-dormant athletic talent had awakened.

"Senior sister!" After seeing Sora Ginko's face, Kuzuryuu Yaichi stopped having any more fantasies.

This is clearly an accident!

He chased after Kong Yinzi with all his might.

Unfortunately, he's also a bit of a shut-in, so how could he possibly catch up with Sora Ginko, who's currently in a berserk mode?

Kong Yinzi rushed out of her master's house and ran like a madwoman towards Luo Feng's izakaya.

The road was long, and it took several stops by tram, but her energy seemed inexhaustible at this moment.

She ignored the surprised looks from passersby, pushed pedestrians aside, and even disregarded vehicles on the road. She may have been heading in that direction with the intention of being hit by a car.

Traffic in Osaka had never been so good, or rather, she had never been so lucky. No matter how fast she ran, not a single car hit her.

It took her nearly an hour to reach Luo Feng's izakaya.

Less than a minute into the run, the shouts of Kuzuryuu Yaichi and Kiyotaki Keika had already faded away; they had never seen such a crazy Kugimiya.

Or rather, this is a speed and physical strength that humans should not possess.

Running at 100-meter sprint speed for 40 minutes is simply impossible for a human!

She managed to get the money out of thin air.

When she rushed into the izakaya, she saw Luo Feng leisurely sitting behind a computer playing games.

Luo Feng had been watching Kong Yinzi closely the whole time, and when he saw Kong Yinzi coughing up blood, his demonic black blood boiled.

It's so delightful, so incredibly delightful!

This is the most beautiful thing that Sora Ginko can offer him besides his soul: supreme pleasure!

Her heartbroken state, her frantic state, her desire to die—all of this was witnessed by Luo Feng.

After rekindling her feelings, she discovered that the person she had liked for many years had also liked her a long time ago. This should have been a double joy, but it was all ruined by her own greed!

She chose shogi instead of Kuzuryuu Yaichi, dedicating herself to Luo Feng.

"I want to go back!" Kong Yinzi slammed his hands on the table in front of him and roared, "I want to go back to where we were before the deal, I'm willing to pay any price!"

"You want to reverse time in the entire world?" Luo Feng looked up at her with a smile. "You? Not enough. I need at least a hundred million souls to do this. By the way, your phone is ringing. Aren't you going to answer it?"

Sora Ginko's phone had been ringing nonstop. At first, it was Kiyotaki Keika and Kuzuryu Yaichi, and then Kiyotaki Kosuke and some other shogi players who were familiar with the two of them joined in making calls and looking for people.

"Then seal my memories and let me return to that state of time!" Sora Ginko completely ignored her phone call.

"Go back to that state of affairs?" Luo Feng revealed a pleased smile: "Just pretend you never knew me? Just pretend your talents never existed?"

"That's right!"

"You're just trying to deceive yourself." Luo Feng gently shook his head. "Think about it, is this fair to Yaichi Kuzuryu?"

"You erased your memories of knowing me, but you played some shogi that even you didn't understand."

"You already belonged to me, yet you still want me to fix it. Is that any different from going to the hospital for corrective surgery?"

"You've got everything, had your fun, and now you want to marry an honest man? What did an honest man do to you?"

“Fair…is it fair to him?” Sora Ginko’s mind went blank.

Yes, everything has happened. Is that fair to him?

Am I... worthy?

I can fool my past self who has lost her memory, but can I fool my present self?

"You...you know everything that just happened to me?" Kong Yinzi's eyes widened: "You know about Ba Yi's feelings too?"

"I know," Luo Feng nodded frankly.

"Why didn't you tell me before..." Sora lowered her head, her fingernails digging into her flesh again.

She was trembling all over, and her eyes had turned a deep blue—she was furious.

"Why should I tell you?" Luo Feng said with a half-smile, "I'm a devil."

"I know more than just that. I can also tell you that all those arguments you had back then were things I deliberately tried to bring back to your memories. And that Manchi who provides meals was someone I arranged to meet with Yaichi Kuzuryu so you would misunderstand."

"Don't you really think that everything that happened back then was too much of a coincidence?"

"Your mentality collapsed, and when you went back there, you saw them hugging each other. Nowadays, light novels don't dare to write like that, for fear of being criticized by readers for being brainless."

Luo Feng gradually confessed what he had done. Looking at Kong Yinzi's expression and her volcanic eruption-like state, his breathing became increasingly rapid.

Yes, that's it. When you're at the peak of anger, suppress it, and your soul will surely become purer, right?

The despair of that time must have been even more captivating, right?

"You saw what happened just now, didn't you? You were there the whole time, weren't you? You saw my embarrassing state all along..."

"Not just now, but also before, you saw it too, right?"

"Is all you're going to do torment my mind?"

Sora Ginko remembered Yukino's warning to her: Luo Feng was manipulating her spirit!

"You didn't touch Yukinoshita because she doesn't have anyone she likes. You wouldn't find any thrill in doing so, would you?"

"You and I... is it because I have the August 1st Army in my heart, and because of today? Is that right? Is that how it is? Tell me!"

Kong Yinzi shouted, "Tell me, I was just imagining things, you weren't actually watching, you weren't trying to torture me, it was all just a coincidence!"

Seeing her angry eyes, Luo Feng calmly nodded and smiled, "You guessed it all, young lady, that's exactly what I did."

Luo Feng stood up, his eyes slightly narrowed, a pleased expression on his face: "What kind of being do you think a devil is? The kind from light novels who works at McDonald's? Who knows nothing but romance? Or who spouts cringeworthy nonsense all day and can't even beat a dog? Or perhaps, who's kinder than an angel?"

"Sorry, I'm not that kind of devil, I'm the real devil." Luo Feng slowly lowered his body and looked directly into Kong Yinzi's eyes: "What makes you think that I can't even do something like this? What I'm doing now isn't something I was born knowing, it's all been taught to me by humans."

"Humans are the best teachers of the devil."

"No one is born a devil; we are all formed from human evil thoughts, so how could we possibly have a kind side?"

Luo Feng is shattering Kong Yinzi's illusions about the devil.

A devil is a devil, not a benevolent person disguised as an angel.

Making a deal with the devil comes at a price.

The cost might be unimaginable.

"So, I'm paying for other people's mistakes?" Sora Ginko laughed. "So, you enjoy tormenting me? What have I done to offend you?"

Her smile, just like last time, was filled with despair.

She's about to enter that state of utter despair and indifference she was in before.

She had tried it once before, and she never expected to have to try it a second time so soon.

We should have listened to the angels. If we had listened to them and stayed true to ourselves, would these things have happened?

“No.” Luo Feng shook his head: “When you humans torture your fellow humans, you often don’t think about what the other person has done to offend you, right? Some people have a lot, they have done nothing wrong, but jealousy makes others hate them.”

"I just did the same thing, it's just that... I happened to run into you, your soul is my type, that's all."

If people know that a rich person is rich, they are expected to donate money, and therefore their money must be considered dirty.

Even if the children of wealthy people have not offended anyone, they may still be targeted and kidnapped.

Some people are perfectly capable and have bright futures, yet they ruin their lives because of the perverse pleasures of humanity.

Leaving aside others, just look at the empty silver in front of her. Countless female chess players want to see her suffer, want to see her make a fool of herself, want to see her be completely defeated in shogi, and even hope that she will die soon.

Is it only the devil who is like this? Is it only the devil who is evil?

The devil is simply an amplified version of human evil.

"Why you? Why you of all people? Why are you doing this to me?" Sora's expression gradually turned to despair: "Can't you just keep bullying me, keep exploiting me, or keep lying to me? Why have you been so nice to me these past few days?"

Just as Kong Yinzi's heart began to hold a place for Luo Feng, that warm flame was ruthlessly extinguished by Luo Feng.

If Luo Feng continues to trick and bully her, she will get used to it. Even if what happened today happened, she will not blame Luo Feng because he has always been a bad person.

But a bad guy did a lot of good things, and when Kong Yinzi had hope for him, he drove her into the abyss of despair.

Click.

Luo Feng seemed to hear the sound of a young girl's heart breaking.

Luo Feng looked at it and thought the time was about right. If he let her completely break down, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?

What he wanted was the most beautiful empty silver, to elevate her soul and allow her to live more authentically in this world.

“Because I love your soul…” Luo Feng said softly, “Young lady, I have already felt your despair.”

"Please, please help me one last time. Erase my memory, just pretend nothing happened, okay? These next few days, consider them interest, I'll offer my soul again, okay? Let me live a normal life, and serve you after death, even if it means eternal damnation in hell..." Sora made one last effort: "Please... let me forget you!"

"At this moment, I'm going to give you a choice." Luo Feng snapped his fingers.

Kong Yinzi was in a daze. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a place that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

This is... Bayi's home?

"Take a guess?" Luo Feng smiled and said, "Is your junior brother already home, teaching his adorable disciple to play chess? Or is he frantically searching for you, waiting for you to return?"

Luo Feng had already sent them emails using the identity of Kong Yinzi, and some people had even called to say that she was fine, but had just accepted someone else's confession and wanted some peace and quiet, and that they would talk about it tomorrow.

This is all to prepare for the recovery of Sora's physical and mental health after her breakdown; otherwise, leaving her with a mess would make it difficult for her to heal on her own.

"What...what are you going to do? Don't hurt him!" Sora Ginko cried out in terror, "I...I don't want the memory seal anymore, I don't want it anymore! I just want you to leave them alone. I'll give you my soul, okay? I don't want anything else..."

"We need to look at what I want to do dialectically..."
