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

Luo Feng casually drafted a contract, in exchange for Yukino paying for two more weeks, in order to learn the motive of the serial killer.

"As for his motives, let him tell you himself..."

Luo Feng tapped the table with his fingers and slightly opened his eyes.

"Let him tell me himself?" Yukino paused, somewhat puzzled.

Should we go find him now?

No way! If I were to show up at the scene, especially with Luo Feng, there would be no way to explain it!

Does he want me to lose my job? Or does he want me to be investigated?

"You're overthinking it." Luo Feng shook his head. "It's just a coincidence that he came here."

"Cough cough..."

Just then, a coughing sound came from the doorway.

A pale-faced young man, clutching his ribs and holding a crossbow, walked in from outside: "I found this place through the Seven Deadly Sins app. Is it really true that there are devils operating here...?"

"Oh dear, this is terrifying! Miss Officer, won't you help me?" Luo Feng calmly raised his hand.

Yukino instinctively prepared to subdue the guy, but then noticed that Luo Feng pressed down on the hand he was holding in the air.

Yukino had a bit of a headache. If she didn't listen to Luo Feng, he would probably take care of her again.

"Officer?" Nakagaki Wataru was taken aback and instinctively aimed his crossbow at Yukino Yukinoshita.

Am I being ambushed by the police? Are all those angels just an illusion?

My revenge... is it impossible?

His expression shifted from hope to despair in the time it took Luo Feng to utter a single sentence…

Chapter 085 Udon Noodles

Seeing the expression on his face, Luo Feng's lips curled up slightly.

Although Yinzi's expression is more interesting, this person's expression is not bad either; it's a rare spice in life.

That's not what Nakagaki Wataru thought.

Fortunately, the person in charge was a novice and didn't point a gun at him immediately.

At this distance, killing someone isn't that difficult.

If she makes a move at this moment, I can shoot an arrow at any time!

Wait a minute, is this guy trying to save himself? Is he trying to distract himself and shift his target to hide? Or is he trying to let the woman subdue him while he moves the crossbow?

Thinking of this, he quickly aimed the crossbow at Luo Feng and moved it down a bit, as if afraid of accidentally shooting Luo Feng to death.

His consciousness is somewhat blurred now, and he is no longer able to think about anything else.

He felt his life slipping away, and thinking about how he had given up on life and the hope of survival, and how he had ended up in an ordinary shop, he dejectedly put his hands down.

Forget it, die and die.

Unexpectedly, the angel proved the existence of the devil, but he himself had come to the wrong place...

I'm so... hopelessly stupid!

"I'm a police officer, but I'm off duty." Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly, "It's okay, you can even kill this hostage, I won't stop you."

She understood what was going on and was immediately furious!

If I had known he would come, why would I have paid the price of two weeks? I could have just waited. The whole thing, from the start of the contract to the end, didn't even take a minute!

As for why he would deny the devil's identity?

Given Luo Feng's personality, he probably just wants to see the other person's expression of despair!

It seems that the other party regarded Luo Feng as their only hope, but after Luo Feng denied it, how could they not despair?

Nakagaki Wataru looked puzzled, wondering what these two were up to.

Can she kill the hostage? Isn't that guy her ex-boyfriend?

In short, it doesn't seem like an ambush at all.

"I'm sorry, I won't hurt ordinary people." Nakagaki Wataru sat down by the door, seemingly in pain, and said softly, "The police will be here soon to take me away."

"Is there anything you'd like to eat?" Luo Feng asked. "Coming to a place like this so late at night, you're not just here to find the devil, are you?"

"What do you want to eat?" Nakagaki Wataru asked, somewhat confused. "Make me a bowl of udon noodles. I might not have a chance to pay or eat it."

Seeing that Luo Feng didn't seem to care about being exposed, Yukino turned to look at Nakagaki Wataru. Her gaze fell on his ribs, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

His hands were covered in blood, which had stained his clothes.

Is this... being shot?

Luo Feng's shop was like an insulator; even if gunshots rang out outside, they couldn't be heard inside.

"Okay, a bowl of udon noodles, right?" Luo Feng stood up casually, without any sense of tension. He walked to the backstage and actually started making udon noodles for this guy.

Yukino gritted her teeth. If she could subdue him, there might still be a chance to save him if she took him to the hospital.

Although he was the kind of criminal who could be shot on the spot, Yukino still wanted him to go to court and be tried by a judge.

But she knew that with Luo Feng there, she couldn't do it herself.

Luo Feng seemed to know what Yukino was thinking: "He can't be saved. The nearest hospital is a bit far away. He can't even do strenuous exercise right now. Look at the time, there's still time for him to eat a bowl of udon noodles."

"Where are the people chasing you?" Yukino finally realized that this person had escaped the encirclement.

“I was wondering the same thing. Only this store is open at this hour. They should have caught up by now.” Nakagaki Wataru frowned slightly.

The police are incompetent these days, but even when they're in this state, they still can't catch up. Is this how taxpayers' money is being used?

Oh well, that's Japan for you.

In a country like China, this kind of thing would absolutely never happen!

However, it wasn't just the police that puzzled him; he found these two people incredibly strange, able to chat so calmly with someone who clearly didn't seem like a good person.

This is an izakaya (Japanese pub) owner, a girl who claims to be a policewoman...

Is that app really a scam?

"They're banging on the door and shouting at thin air," Luo Feng said. "This isn't Tokyo, this is Sapporo."

"Sapporo?" Nakagaki was stunned for a moment.

Whoosh!

Just then, he felt as if his body was out of his control. His crossbow silently appeared in front of Luo Feng. He didn't even know how Luo Feng had taken his crossbow!

"Congratulations on arriving here before you die." Luo Feng smiled slightly: "If you have any wishes before you die, feel free to tell me. I can grant any wish here, as long as you can pay a sufficient price."

"Anything can be traded?" Nakagaki Wataru looked surprised and delighted. "Are you really a devil?"

The only weapon he could use to protect himself had been taken away by Luo Feng in such an unbelievable way. The police who were supposed to be chasing him hadn't shown up. He couldn't help but believe it.

Honestly, I asked you this when I first came in. Why didn't you just admit it?

"Of course, I was just teasing you... Why did you kill them? Tell me your story." Luo Feng casually tossed over a bottle of good wine, which Nakagaki Wataru caught: "Don't worry, your wounds won't bleed, your time has stopped."

Nakagaki Wataru tried to release his hand from the wound, and looked at Luo Feng with a surprised expression: "Why do you need to explain why you made a deal with the devil? If I did something good, you wouldn't help me?"

The devil... what a twisted sense of humor.

Angels descend directly, but he initially refused to acknowledge it.

"No, I just wanted to listen to something to pass the time," Luo Feng said. "You have plenty of time."

Nakagaki Wataru felt the pain in his wound had subsided, so he casually found a place to sit down, opened the bottle of sake, and said softly, "My story is very simple. Three years ago, there was a gas leak accident in Tokyo, did you know that?"

"Gas leak..." Yukino was speechless at this reason; no normal person would believe it these days.

Generally, accidents like gas leaks are simply attempts to conceal them from the public.

“Yes, a gas leak.” A shadow fell over Nakagaki Wataru’s face. “Actually, I used to like this world and this government a lot, and I was very grateful for them because they gave us people a way to live.”

"Your identity..." Yukino frowned slightly, "Can you tell me?"

"Okay, since we're going to make a deal, let's be completely honest, right? If Mr. Devil is willing to help me because my story is compelling, that would be wonderful..."

Chapter 086: A Feeling of Powerlessness

Nakagaki Wataru then began to tell his story.

He lived in a very ordinary orphanage, where there were countless people he could call family.

From a young age, he worked hard to exercise in order to protect his family from being bullied by delinquents.

Because of malnutrition, he was always very thin and almost ruined his health.

Later, he was taken in by an elderly couple who adopted him.

The elderly couple had no children, and they sought him out because of his talent.

His adoptive father was an archery athlete who happened to see Nakagaki Wataru's slingshot and thought the boy had potential.

After that, he went to Nakagaki Wataru's orphanage and observed him carefully for a few days, teaching him archery. He discovered that this person's talent was so good that he could fulfill his dream, which was to teach a student who could participate in the Olympics.

After adopting Nakagaki Wataru, he discovered that the child was exceptionally hardworking and serious, striving to do his best in everything he did, and was also meticulous in his thinking, truly a promising talent.

In Japan, sometimes adopted sons can even inherit the family business of large families. He raised Nakagaki Wataru completely like his own son.

After his nutrition improved, Nakagaki Wataru used his pocket money to help the orphanage. His adoptive father didn't say anything, only that the athletes were treated very well and that he could control all the prize money and salary he earned as an athlete.

Knowing this, he practiced even harder and became a key member of the club in his first year of high school, giving his adoptive father a glimpse of a bright future.

Upon hearing this, Yukino suddenly realized.

The information about this guy's connection to the orphanage was concealed by his superiors, who even forged his birth certificate to make people believe that he was the couple's son!

It makes sense now, everything makes sense now.

Yukino's motive for murder, which she had been struggling with for a long time, all came to light after his identity was exposed.

Nakagaki Wataru continued his narration.
