Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

Michael sat at the window seat with a smile, shuffling the cards skillfully in his hands: "You were right to refuse the church's invitation to speak, otherwise you wouldn't be idle here now - okay, let's draw the cards.

Lucifer, who was sitting opposite him, drew a card: "Ten of clubs."

Satan, who moved a chair and sat in the aisle, also drew a card: "7 of diamonds... Michael is the 3 of clubs, so Lucifer draws the card first."

"Yes, these three angels...are playing poker.

No way, Lucifer wanted to play poker with customers before, but for some reason his luck at poker was so good that he would win no matter who he played with, seriously affecting other people's gaming experience, even if Lucifer said he would give away a cup of Coke for free. , there are very few people who are willing to play with him... This kind of luck also extends to all games. Even if the pagans who don't rely much on luck kill this kind, Lucifer can see through the truth at a glance by reading micro-expressions and emotions. .

In the end, Lucifer, who was vaguely disliked by everyone, could only go back to reading behind the counter. Even though there were more and more new customers later, he did not harm others anymore.

... As a result, he seemed to be regarded as a cold person. Not only did he have no one to play with, but there were even fewer people willing to come and chat... But it doesn't matter now! Satan and Michael are coming! Lucifer knew that his luck was due to "God's preference for angels", and his strong card counting ability was also due to him being an angel, so as long as the people at the same table were all angels, everyone's level would be almost on the same level. , magical luck will not affect the game experience.

Satan is naturally willing to play with him. Michael expressed no interest at first, but now he is rushing to shuffle the cards - because Lucifer accidentally showed off his fancy shuffling skills, Michael is quite interested. Now even if I don't play cards and just let him shuffle the cards, he has a lot of fun.

A few of them started playing cards and chatting.

“Three are missing one.

Michael said, "One more person comes down, and we can play mahjong."

Lucifer looked at his cards and muttered: "There is also three-player mahjong, but it's not interesting if you play too fast..." Satan followed the cards: "Gabriel can't do it. He will only think about it when he sees it, and will not join in." .

"...No, I just explained that there are three people playing mahjong, and I don't really want anyone to come."

"Lucifer was really afraid that Satan and Michael would attract someone just by talking like this.

Michael continued to play cards: "Lucifer, is there anything more fun in another world? The book I saw mentioned a 'game console'..." Lucifer's hand slipped and the cards almost fell apart.

It’s really a matter of which pot should not be opened.

The alarm clock opened a [PS4 host up pool] for him a few days ago. Out of caution and experience, Lucifer first took 10 silver coins and tried his luck in the ordinary pool next to it.

Then he drew a bunch of things that P had no use for, which was roughly equivalent to sinking a ship in this pool.

With such bad luck in ordinary pools, Lucifer certainly refused to take risks in the restricted pools. If he was not careful, a thousand silver coins would be wasted! Lucifer was very depressed. He was so lucky in the game, but the alarm clock caused him to end up like this.

If Michael and Satan weren't around and the alarm clock didn't dare to do anything, Lucifer really couldn't believe that this was his luck.

【...After all, there is a probability! And the luck of the ordinary pool cannot represent the limited pool! ] The alarm clock struggled to defend itself, and also tried to give Lucifer advice, [You can try metaphysics! ] Lucifer was speechless: "Forget it if I still thought I was a human being. Now that I am an angel, I still need to rely on metaphysics...???" Do you look down on angels? ! ! However, although Lucifer rejected the alarm clock's nonsense suggestion on the spot, he actually studied it secretly in private.

I wanted to smoke a PS4 console, but I couldn’t think of any useful metaphysics for a while. I felt that using PS4 game discs was useless. Last time, I got a soda machine... Fortunately, the number of customers who were getting rarer reminded Lucifer. : Isn’t it the Thanksgiving Day in a few days? Instead of asking for blessings from metaphysics, it is better to ask God the Father for blessings. There may be bonuses for such festivals.

As a result, Lucifer kept his limited pool to this day.

“…Game consoles are certainly fun.

"Lucifer calculated the time and planned to wait for the sacrificial activities to start in the square, and then he would start pumping out the main unit here.

Michael's blue eyes cast a tentative glance at Lucifer from above the cards.

"When you recover your memory, why don't you take me to see that world? It feels like you are even more dissatisfied with our world after you come back... I really want to know what kind of world you like.

" "Me too! "Satan will never be silent on this kind of topic, "I want to go to the world over there too! Lucifer hesitated for a moment: "No...how to put it, it may be different from what you think. In fact, it is not such a beautiful world over there."

" "oh? "Michael put the only remaining card in his hand on the table, "——Tell me? Lucifer frowned and seemed to be considering his words.

"To put it simply...the human nature of that world lags far behind the level of technology, while the opposite is true in our world.

"After Michael pondered for a few seconds, he nodded gently: "I understand.

"So is it the technology of that world that you like?" asked Satan.

"Um.

Lucifer said while playing his cards, "Technology has made life more convenient... I think enjoying life is not a bad thing. There is a big difference between people living for the sake of living or living for the sake of living."

"Satan glanced at the only card left in Michael's hand, and decisively played a pair of cards, skipping Michael: "But the situation in the other world cannot be fully applied, right? What if it becomes like that over there.

Lucifer took out all the cards in his hand and leaned back: "Of course not, but don't we still have divine punishment here?" " Michael was surprised: "When you quarreled with Father God before, you always felt that the divine punishment system was not good..." "Oh, that's because I'm young and ignorant.

"Lucifer said without changing his expression.

"...You were over a hundred years old when I was born. Is this considered young?" Michael muttered.

Lucifer pretended not to hear: "In short, I now think that the divine punishment system is actually quite good, but it needs to be changed.

"It's rare to hear you praise God's punishment. Father God would be very happy if he knew about it."

Lucifer continued to ignore Michael's complaints: "If humans were responsible for developing technology and divine punishment was responsible for correcting human deviations, then the world would be perfect."

"A judgment machine that is impartial and selfless, free from bribery, unswayed by misfortune, and free from personal bias. Although it may be somewhat lacking in human nature, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

No matter what kind of punishment or judgment on earth, it can only be carried out after something has happened, and what has happened is irreversible. Even if the perpetrator dies to apologize, the damage will be difficult to make up for.

But divine punishment is different, it can stop things before they happen.

Lucifer felt that even if there were millions of bad things about God's punishment, he could turn over just by relying on this.

You can't copy everything just because you think other worlds are good. That will cause problems. You should follow the traditions of your own world and follow your own unique path.

Divine punishment is the biggest feature of this world. Instead of canceling it directly, it is better to make full use of it.

Michael and Satan, who had little knowledge of other worlds, were still a little confused after listening to Lucifer's explanation, but they were very happy after understanding that Lucifer did not mean to completely reject this world.
