Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 147 Lucifer's Bet
"Unexpected, but reasonable." Lin You was not surprised to hear the name of the fallen angel; "Sneaky, hiding, tempting and instigating, all of these are the characteristics of the devil."

Lucifer stopped whispering and showed up, asking, "How do you ignore God and despise the devil?"

The Lord of Hell, the current Satan, is tall and handsome. He is polite in his every move, and there is a captivating evil charm in his eyes.

"Maybe all materialists are like this." Lin You answered nonchalantly.

"Materialism?" Lucifer seemed to have heard something funny. "You are talking about materialism in the virtual dimension? Then what is this dimension? A material world created by idealism?"

As the Lord of Hell, His rank is obviously much higher than the angel Manny, and at least He knows the truth about the illusory dimension.

"Materialists acknowledge the existence of all verifiable matter, regardless of how it was created," Lin You said sarcastically. "If God could break through the barrier between fantasy and reality and appear in the real dimension, true materialists would be ecstatic, but a considerable number of churches and believers would be devastated and face a catastrophe."

"It's a very pertinent statement, but it's hard to imagine that it came from a writer." Lucifer sighed and turned to look between heaven and earth. There were still a few spots of "golden ink" that had not dissipated, floating in the air.

The writer smiled and asked back: "If I can't be sure that what I write is 'real', how can I make the world recognize that what I write is 'real'? Or ask yourself, are you real? If not, why don't you just disappear?"

"Ha, a straightforward counterattack." Lucifer smiled exaggeratedly, with a provocative light in his eyes, "Although you have written the subsequent story, it is not certain whether it can be successfully turned into reality."

"Oh?" Lin You was surprised. "What advice do you have?"

The fallen angel sneered and said, "From the perspective of time, this ending will not be realized until at least three to four months later. In such a long time, a lot of things will happen."

The writer disagreed, "Maybe not. I am confident. Although I have only written down the outline, I am not sure what details will change during the process. But since the final ending has been written, it cannot be changed."

"I admire your confidence." Lucifer's eyes lit up. "How about we make a bet?"

"What are you gambling?"

"Let's bet on whether the ending you wrote can become a reality as you wish."

Lin You looked strange, and asked tentatively: "Did you like to make such bets before?"

"Of course." Lucifer raised his chin and looked up at the sky. "I have made similar bets with every big devil in hell, but the opponent I have bet with the most times is my father."

"God?"

"Yes, God. We have made bets more than once, competing for the soul of a certain person. To see whether the final result is heaven or hell."

Lin You sneered: "You two really have too much free time."

"This is a kind of fun." Lucifer said with displeasure, "When you write a story, you only write the outline and not the details. Isn't it because you want to see the characters in the story move towards their predetermined fate through self-righteous choices? I thought you would do this and understand the fun of it."

Lin You flatly denied it: "I'm sorry, I didn't have any intention of getting pleasure from it; I just wanted to save ink and save my own energy."

"That's such a shame. It's a waste of nature's gifts." The fallen angel sighed and bewitched, "Will you accept the bet? Although you can't understand the joy of watching human nature struggle, you can experience the excitement of gambling once. Maybe you will fall in love with this form of entertainment in the future."

The writer did not agree immediately, but asked curiously: "How did you win or lose when you made a bet with God in the past?"

"Most of the time, I win. Human nature is worthy of admiration, but it is only a tiny part." Lucifer said proudly, "I have proved hundreds of times how correct my original choice was; Adam is not worthy of making me kneel down." "But this bet seems to have nothing to do with human nature; no matter how accurate your judgment of human nature is, it will not help the outcome of the bet." Lin You still tried to shirk.

"Who said I can only bet on human nature?" The fallen angel said dissatisfiedly, "Besides, you are not God, so there is no need for me to argue with you about the merits and demerits of human nature."

"Then you will definitely lose." The writer still tried to persuade him with kind words.

Unfortunately, Lucifer didn't appreciate it at all; "I like you when you are full of confidence, but I like you even more when your confidence is destroyed. Hurry up and make a decision!"

Lin You sighed "helplessly"; this is what it means that good advice cannot persuade a damned ghost!
The devil is the most damnable ghost.

This Lucifer only knows the truth about the virtual dimension, or the progress of the big world plan, but he has no idea about the power of the quill pen and the "truth factor".

If it was another devil named O'Dimm, he would never make this bet even if he was beaten to death.

"What's the stakes?"

"Let's bet on the definition of 'giant beast'."

Lin You was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, if the 'Giant Beast' is not summoned within the scheduled time limit, you will have to revise its definition and make it one of my incarnations." The fallen angel had a big appetite.

"You should know that God is missing, and I plan to use this method to find Him back."

Lucifer acted as if it was none of his business: "So what? You can choose other similar dark opposites. There are more than just 'Giant Beast' to choose from in this world."

"Is this why you stopped me from writing before? Because you wanted to obtain the power of the 'Giant Beast'?"

"This originally belonged to me." Lucifer argued, "At least, in a certain story, He has been confirmed to be my alter ego. Strictly speaking, it is you who has taken my things away now, not the other way around."

"What if you lose?" Lin You asked again.

“Although I don’t think I will lose, but…” Lucifer seriously considered the chips equivalent to the “Giant Beast”, “If I lose, I will allow you to freely enter and exit hell in the future, and you will have the opportunity to take away any soul you want.”

"The hell of the big world?" Lin You frowned slightly, not very satisfied with the bet.

“So what if it’s the hell of the big world? Even if I integrate into the big world, I will still be an important member of hell. How difficult is it to open a door for you? Let’s put it this way, if you encounter difficulties when you want to take your soul away, I will help you unconditionally.” Lucifer put his hand on his chest, as if he was making a vow.

"You can take away an unlimited number of souls?"

"Haha... there's no limit to the quantity, as long as you can afford it and are not afraid of causing them to vanish into thin air after returning to the human world."

Seeing the Lord of Hell's confident look, the writer no longer hesitated and reached out to high-five him to seal the deal: "It's a deal! I'll take this bet."
