Chapter 59: Cheating yourself to the extreme (second update)

Lucifer really had good intentions in order to put the steam engine into use as soon as possible.

In fact, it would be no problem for him to take out a steam engine on the spot now, and it would be better than the one these people had just improved and designed, but that would be meaningless.

Therefore, he had considered the problem of parts a long time ago and successfully used the [Persuasion] skill to let the alarm clock incorporate "parts processing" into his daily life. In other words, during the time of hiring an alarm clock for 1 silver coin and 1 hour, he made the alarm clock work.

Making parts is also ok.

[I think this is also a type of oppression.] The alarm clock was persuaded for no reason, and protested in its own way, [In your ideal world, this kind of oppression should be eliminated most.]

Lucifer replied without hesitation: "It doesn't matter, you are not a human being, I treat you as a tool."

Alarm clock:【……】

No matter how much he had objections, the alarm clock still did what he agreed to do. Lucifer took a stack of design drawings that the group of people had revised all morning and glanced at them, and the alarm clock began to crackle and drop parts into a box.

.

"...What kind of ability is this?"

"Speaking of which, no one here studies magic."

"It's impossible to study that kind of thing... I don't understand the principle at all, and the church even said that God doesn't want us to study it."

"If you don't want us to study it, just don't give it to us. Wouldn't that be more convenient? I think our knowledge may not be enough to understand the principle..."

A roomful of scientists were whispering.

Maybe everyone was too open-minded in the discussion before, and even said things like this that could only be whispered in the heart subconsciously. Fortunately, they still remembered not to say such things out loud.

However, there is no use lowering your voice, Lucifer can just hear it.

Scientists in this world still believe in God... Also, the earth does not even have divine punishment, and there are still many scientists who can study and study and then go to study theology. It would be more normal if we let this world go.

However, this is also an opportunity... Talking to these people will be more effective than talking to the church.

Thinking like this, Lucifer suddenly spoke and joined the scientists' discussion: "Of course there is a reason why God allows humans to cast spells."

Everyone became quiet and turned to look at Lucifer.

Regarding this topic, it has been a mystery since thousands of years ago. Countless people have put forward countless conjectures, similar to "God sees that people are good," and so on... This guess once occupied the mainstream, until with the

As time went by, generations of human beings were born, but the power of spells became less and less powerful, and there were even people who could not use any kind of spell until their death, so everyone shut up and no longer promoted this speculation.

After all, if "God saw that humans were good, he gave humans the ability to cast spells", then now that humans are gradually losing their ability to cast spells, wouldn't it mean that "God saw that humans were becoming more evil and withdrew their favor"?

It’s better not to mention this kind of slap-in-the-face speculation again.

So why are humans gradually losing the ability to cast spells?

Some people can light fire, some can create water, and some can speed up the growth of plants. Everyone helps each other and survives a difficult period of survival, but now, God seems to be taking back these things.

People are restless, gradually weakened from generation to generation, and are accustomed to the transformation from the ancestral period when they could easily conjure fireballs to the present where they can only conjure flames, but this problem has never really disappeared.

It was impossible to ask God, and I was so nervous that I couldn't even speak when facing the rare arrival of an angel. The truth was just missed in the silence.

In this case, what can the great sage from the Garden of Eden say?

"That's the 'light that lights the way forward'."

The sage with black hair and golden eyes sat in the corner. His voice was not loud, but it was clear enough for everyone to hear.

"Because humans who can't light fire have learned to drill wood to make fire, there is no need for humans to have the ability to make fire; because humans who can't control weight have invented cars, so there is no need to control so much weight;

Because humans who cannot control plants have cultivated fields and invented chemical fertilizers, the ability to accelerate plant growth is not so important..."

"There are fewer and fewer spells that humans can use. It's not that God has withdrawn his favor, but that humans have achieved what God originally wanted to achieve - even if humans can no longer use any spells, they can still survive independently and survive.

Very good.”

"So, do you understand what you should do now?"

The great sage with golden eyes that were brighter than gold stood up from his chair and approached the crowd from the back corner step by step. The pressure doubled as the distance decreased, but people looked at his dazzling body.

However, they couldn't take their eyes away at all. Every word spoken by the other party seemed to be engraved into their souls and was full of power.

“Create faster cars so that people can travel freely around the world; use machines to liberate people from boring and repetitive work in factories, allowing people to do more valuable things that only humans can do; create

A ship that can sail to the distant seas to see if there is an end to the world... Then, build an aircraft that can fly into the sky and explore the realm of the sky."

His originally dark hair, after leaving the shadowed corner, reflected a strange brilliance under the sunlight.

“You must reach a level that was not even possible during the heyday of the magic God bestowed upon you, and exceed God’s expectations of you. Only then will God’s efforts to create human beings be in vain. Only then will you not live up to what God has bestowed upon you.

free."

"Human beings are favored by God. There is no need to doubt this, just go ahead and do it!"

"...It really shocked me."

Michael looked at the humans who were assembling the steam engine with the parts conjured by Lucifer, turned to Lucifer and said, "I thought you had regained your memory just now."

"No." Lucifer calmly took out a book and placed it on his lap as a decoration, otherwise it would feel weird to have empty hands.

Satan also agreed in a low voice: "I also thought you had recovered your memory... The aura just now was really like you before."

Lucifer: "...really not."

"Seeing how you swore so confidently that God the Father actually dotes on humans, and also plausibly talked about what God the Father expected... I almost believed it." Michael complained, "So is what you said true?"

"You don't know?" Lucifer couldn't help but raise his head and asked.

Michael and Satan shook their heads at the same time.

"I only know that God the Father is indeed very concerned about human beings." Michael pondered, "But when it comes to doting on me... it feels like it's still far away? The only thing that can reflect the specialness of human beings is the freedom of not having to believe in God the Father.

'? This kind of thing is completely dispensable, right?"

"Michael used to be stationed at the border of the world for a long time. He rarely went to the human world and didn't observe humans very much, so he didn't understand, but I do." Satan said with a straight face, "Human beings are actually not doing well at all.

They are not as good as us angels at all. They just don’t know how miserable they are, so they think that is happiness... So when you just said it, it was so outrageous that it was really unbelievable, but because it was too unreal, it made me doubt it.

Have you recovered your memory and know something..."

Satan almost turned into a philosopher... Lucifer swallowed his rant and replied seriously: "I have indeed not recovered my memory. What I just said..."

He frowned and said uncertainly: "I can only say that my consciousness is dominant, but some details and specific words... are actually not under my control..."

After delivering his second explosive speech, he immediately took back control and questioned the alarm clock.

However, the alarm clock was also very frightening: [It has nothing to do with me, Your Highness Lucifer!!! You just blocked me!!! I thought I was going to die!!!]

"......???So you don't know what happened to me just now?"

[Of course I don’t know!] The tone of the alarm clock is also rare and frightening, [Isn’t it because you have recovered your memory?]

"No……"

[In short, this really has nothing to do with me, I didn’t do anything.] The alarm clock emphasized twice, [I suggest you check your memory. By the way, your hair changed color again just now. Fortunately, everyone didn’t focus on it.

over there.】

"Yes, everyone's focus is on my second grade speech." Lucifer's face was expressionless, slightly broken, "Did I speak like this before?"

The alarm clock comforted him: "Don't worry, maybe all angels speak like this...or they follow theology. And look at those humans, they have all been mobilized by your speech, and they are very motivated now. No one is embarrassed or ashamed of you."

Emotions like this... Only you who have been influenced by the earth's culture will be embarrassed... You can see that they are talking about sages, and you know that they must be familiar with this tone.】

"Thank you so much for the comfort. I feel much better."

Saying those words in public was really an unbearable burden in life, but since everyone thought it was normal, he could recover.

Michael's guess was almost like an alarm clock: "Is your seal loose? Is it because Satan often accidentally leaks your real name?"

Satan suddenly became very nervous: "I'm sorry! But I really didn't mean it. I was just used to shouting... But this can't be my fault alone. Michael also shouted wrongly several times!"

"Not as often as you."

"Then you can't omit yourself."

"That's enough." Lucifer held up his forehead to stop the two people from arguing, "I don't think this is the problem... the seal should be slowly unlocked over time... you see."

With that said, Lucifer untied the hair rope and lifted a strand of hair to show to Satan and Michael: "It changed color again."

"It took about 5 seconds to change back. Now you..." Michael frowned, "It's been almost 10 seconds, right?"

"yes."

This time it lasted about 20 seconds, and the hair finally turned back to dark color, but within five minutes, the situation was repeated again.

"The seal is unstable." Satan concluded, "Your seal and your real name are related. If the seal is lifted, Father God will definitely know that you are back immediately - he must have been paying attention to the 'curse' of your name.

."

Lucifer sighed: "I guess so."

Now, Lucifer already knows why his former self sealed his memory.

Of course, it's not because the idiot has lost his temper, but because to seal the name means to give up the existence of "Lucifer", that is, the memory... So it's not that the time he asked the alarm clock to call him was wrong.

But this was the plan from the beginning. After the immersive experience, you can return to your hometown immediately without having to seal it again, which is very convenient.

...It's too much to save trouble. In the past, "Lucifer" really trusted himself, and he wasn't afraid of learning something bad during the immersive experience?

[Humans can believe in themselves, why can’t you believe in yourself?] The alarm clock actually spoke for Lucifer before he lost his memory, [And although something went wrong, you did act as planned.]

"In the plan..." Lucifer was silent, "Tell me, the person who designed the lottery pool was not myself before amnesia."

[…] The alarm clock also went silent, as if he was trying to act stupid.

"Stop pretending. You said before that the only things you can know are the parts I instilled in you... I have nothing to do with instilling management and game design concepts into you and how to make customers earn money. It must be so.

on purpose."

[This...I'm sorry...but whether it's the lottery pool or the store, these are actually the backup methods you left behind in the past, in order to avoid accidents in the immersive experience...]

Lucifer got the definite answer: "………………"
