Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 260 The Financial Mission of the Two Demons

Li Xuan never expected to hear such an inspiring story from two demons.

He almost applauded.

When Patton recounted these experiences, he himself seemed to drift into a daze, saying, "When I was a human being, I had high hopes for the future and wished to live in a place without conflict."

Later, as standards dropped, I hoped to have a wife who wasn't ugly. Then, I hoped to have decent meals. Later, when they started building the railway, all I hoped for was to survive.

Hawke, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced sympathetically at his partner. The two were equally matched; their current positions were half due to choosing sides and half simply by surviving.

It's not honorable, but at least I'm alive.

Those once-famous demons of hell, who even left a significant mark on human history, can only remain history itself...

Li Xuan asked, "What is the name of the demon you are following, and where is it?"

Barton hesitated for a moment and said, "He is very famous. He is Vasak, one of the seventy-two demon gods. He can know the past and the future, so any decision he makes is correct. We benefited from his influence and rose in status... He trusts us a lot and takes us with him everywhere. He arranged our bodies when we came to the human world fifteen years ago."

The look of nostalgia on their faces clearly showed that Vasak held a significant place in their hearts.

Hawke's face darkened as he said, "Vasak came to Earth with the intention of taking a liking to the soul of Constantine, who fell into Hell fifteen years ago, but ten years ago he discovered that Satan was interested in Constantine's soul."

In addition, there's the plan to discover the son of the devil, Mammon, the son of Satan.

He decided to return to Hell and seek refuge in other timelines, leaving the two of us on Earth to develop our financial businesses. When we return, this industry will help him cultivate many fallen souls…

Li Xuan became interested: "You guys have been doing this for ten years, what have you accomplished? You're all driving Rolls-Royces, that must be pretty good."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two demons immediately became unnatural.

Li Xuan: "Is there some unspeakable reason?"

Barton coughed and said, "We two are used to living in hell, and we're all about getting by. We're timid and lack any guts in the financial industry, and not many humans are willing to fight alongside us."

Even the 500,000 yuan in start-up capital that Vasak gave us was swindled out of us...

As for this Rolls-Royce, in recent years, the exorcist Constantine has been like a madman, exorcising demons everywhere, from the United States to Mexico and even the Middle East, there is no place he doesn't go.

We secretly followed behind, inquiring about and collecting the human property of the demons he had banished, in order to accumulate financial wealth.

In the last month, Constantine has become even more perverse, collecting relics of saints everywhere. Exorcised demons appear every few days, and our funds have accumulated to 230 million US dollars, while the Rolls-Royce is just a dusty, idle car in the parking garage of an old demon's villa..."

Li Xuan felt a bit conflicted; he hadn't expected her to be so innocent.

He asked, "Have you never considered tempting human souls?"

Patton honestly replied, "I've thought about it, of course I have. But I was a railroad mechanic in my previous life, and Hawke was just a factory installer. The two of us simply couldn't keep up. We survived a hundred years of demonic life by being protected and eating leftovers. We're actually quite content with this kind of life, but we can't just keep taking. We have to do something occasionally."

This trip to the human world is our opportunity.

"I just never imagined that compared to the screaming and terrified souls of hell, the living humans are so incredibly cunning." Li Xuan: "..."

He thought of a reincarnation ritual in Dongyue Fali, which seemed to offer people the opportunity to be reborn as different species.

As the car drove on, Li Xuan pondered for a moment and asked, "If you had the chance, would you two still want to be human?"

Barton replied without hesitation, "Yes, of course I want to. Demons may live a long life, but it can never compare to the joy of being a living person, even though there is some pain involved."

Hawke nodded in agreement.

They suddenly realized that the "demon" in the back seat was a formidable being, and immediately shut their mouths, not daring to speak. In front of a demon, saying that you are not a demon is no different from being a traitor.

Li Xuan saw through their thoughts and said, "I work for Hell, but I am not a demon. Moreover, this Hell is the Fengdu Underworld of another world. Although you two have made mistakes, you still have the opportunity to become human again. As long as you pass through the Mirror of Retribution in our Underworld and redeem your sins, you can gain your freedom."

His words instantly shattered the worldviews of the two demons...

So it turns out it wasn't a demon, but rather a hell from another world. Could it be a higher dimension?

So that explains the holy light and the strange, hellish smell inside the Midnight Daddy Club... Now it all makes sense...

Li Xuan felt that these two devils were misguided individuals, but fortunately they still retained a trace of "innocence" and had a chance to be saved.

He introduced them to the concepts of Fengdu Underworld and the Netherworld, and to his surprise, they were speechless with shock. In their minds, hell had always been a place filled with all the evils of the world.

Unexpectedly, the hell that Li Xuan spoke of was a place where good and evil were clearly distinguished. Whether good or bad, people who did good deeds in their lives could accumulate merit and be reincarnated into a good place. Bad people who did evil deeds in their lives accumulated sins and had to go through the punishments of the eighteen levels of hell before being reborn as animals.

Having seen so much of the filth of hell, Patton viewed the hell that Li Xuan spoke of as a utopian ideal in his mind.

Bad is bad. There's no such thing as being forgiven just because you repent. Is there any fairness in that for the victims?
The Rolls-Royce slowed down, and Patton hesitated before asking, "How long would someone like us be sentenced to in this hell you speak of?"

Shattered to pieces, skinned alive and torn apart?
I experienced it all firsthand when I fell into hell...

Li Xuan said, "The laws of Fengdu are not devoid of right and wrong; I will not deceive you."

Barton and Hawke exchanged a glance, both seeing the longing in each other's eyes. There was a consensus in Hell that demons would never be accepted by Heaven, and the same applied to humans who had fallen into demonhood.

This is why demons are so determined to fight Heaven to the death. They will say anything to avoid death, but they will never say that they want to join Heaven, because that is impossible and might even make the angels laugh.

Barton said, "Could we have a little time to discuss this?"

As the Rolls-Royce arrived at the entrance of the mental hospital, the sound of shattering glass echoed through the air, followed by a large black man smashing his head against the hood, leaving a large dent...

Barton and Hawke instinctively released their demonic power to support the entire vehicle and prevent it from crushing Li Xuan behind them.

Then it dawned on me that they didn't need their protection at all...

In that instant, Barton and Hawke made Li Xuan an indispensable part of their lives.
