Faith Life of a Former Scammer - Faith Life of a Former Scammer chapter 190

190. Hell’s demands

On Leon’s right shoulder was an epaulet.

[Devil]

These insincere-looking epaulettes served as a sort of pass.

“First of all, I posted the report. You understand the need for an internal meeting, right?”

“Yes. I know. First of all, I will do what I can in the meantime.”

“uh? Once the work is confirmed, you can start.”

“no. We have to finish this place quickly to close the gates of hell and finish the cleanup.”

Leon’s appearance seemed to have impressed the angel.

“I feel good already. Then I wish you well.”

The angel bowed his head with the words of good wishes.

“First of all, we need to know why Heaven and Hell are fighting so that we can negotiate.”

“So you’re saying you need to understand the situation?”

“That’s right.”

“Well. where should i say this? Wait.”

The angel thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“It wasn’t that Hell and Heaven weren’t on good terms from the beginning.”

The angel slowly started talking about heaven and hell.

“Originally, there was someone who managed Heaven and Hell.”

I knew this without even hearing it.

god. It was a story of a god who managed the world like the spirit world and the spirit world.

“What kind of god were you?”

“We called him Creator.”

Creator?

At those words, Leon was taken aback.

“Could it be that you are the one who created the whole world?”

“haha. no. He is the one who created us and this place.”

It wasn’t the kind of creator Leon thought. He was just a god who created this place and created angels and demons.

“The Creator made heaven and hell and made us to work there.”

“Did you make angels?”

“Yes. Right. He created us and sent us to Hell and Heaven respectively. It wasn’t long before they were called devils and angels.”

All the stories floating around in the outside world were lies. Angels were devils, and devils were angels.

They were simply called angels and demons depending on where they worked.

“Then, who is often summoned to the Human World?”

“ah. Runaways! Please tell humans to stop doing that.”

“… … Are you a prisoner of hell?”

Surprisingly, the information gathered by the Purifiers was true. Those summoned thinking they were demons were just prisoners of hell.

“Yes. The prisoner is right. I’m not worried about leaking information because the long torture has given it a little taste, but it’s dangerous because it’s in poor condition.”

As the angel said, when black magicians summoned demons, dangerous things always happened.

“Then, after summoning the demons, black magic spreads, corpses rise, or plagues spread… … .”

“Yes. It’s because the torture was mixed with the prisoner’s body.”

I wondered for a moment how to mix things up, but I soon stopped thinking. I couldn’t even imagine how terrible it would be.

“Well, it didn’t seem like that happened recently.”

“Yes. The seed of the warlock has dried up. Those who remain are researching something other than demon summoning.”

“I like that. I support that It’s really messy.”

Well. It’s the demons who made it messy.

… … I wanted to say it, but I couldn’t bear to say it.

“Anyway, the problem with the top and bottom is what happens when the work is different.”

“I heard that treatment improvement and salary negotiations are related, are they related?”

“Yes. They are the same angels, only doing different things, but the top and bottom are very different.”

They are born from the same creator, but discrimination and conflict have arisen because of different occupations.

“We demons manage Hell. It’s my job to torture prisoners, and I usually work with my body. See this outfit? We usually wear these jean suspenders because we have to be active.”

It was active enough for dwarves to wear. In other words, they do things that use their bodies.

“But, these angel chicken heads.”

Anger was felt in the words.

It was wrapped up in terms of salary negotiations and treatment arrangements, but looking at the situation, it didn’t seem that soft.

“Heaven is a kind of spiritual space.”

“Are you crazy?”

“Yes. Each individual creates the perfect paradise they desire.”

A perfect paradise for everyone.

Could this be the reason why each heaven has a different description?

Each person’s glimpse of heaven is different, so I wondered if there were many descriptions of heaven.

“Unlike our hell, it works in the old fashioned way. Well, people say it’s a hard job to use your brain, but if you look at it, it’s not at all.”

I’m starting to understand what this problem is.

“You say you wear loose clothes or fancy suits to work? Who wears work clothes and works without anything missing?”

The angel said to Leon as if he was throwing up everything he had accumulated so far.

“You know what they say? It’s a noble job that they are white collar, and we are called blue collar workers, right?”

It is to share each other by comparing the color of clothes. If they were of different races, they would have understood each other, but since they were of the same race, a greater conflict arose.

“Because they don’t know who makes a living for them.”

“Are you supplying food from hell?”

“The energy that sustains this world is created in hell. Heaven, hell, and angels all live on energy from hell.”

“In hell? how?”

“Simply put, energy is extracted through the process of torturing the soul in hell. Everyone survives with that energy.”

“Well. Thank you for putting it simply.”

Thank you so much for putting it simply.

I couldn’t even imagine extracting the energy to sustain the world through torture.

“Then what sustains this world is hell?”

“Right. But the guys at the top know it but pretend not to know it. Because they don’t care.”

Hell’s demands were justified.

Rather, I couldn’t understand why Hell was so nervous in this situation.

“What if we cut off the energy that goes into heaven? If you cut it off for a day or two, the white flag will be raised right away.”

“Well. that’s impossible Because if heaven disappears, this world will collapse.”

“Are you doing something in heaven?”

“It is the heaven side that maintains the framework of hell and heaven.”

Now I know why heaven bounces its guts. Heaven was also in charge of maintaining this world.

“It’s ambiguous.”

“What is ambiguous? They sit and roll chicken heads, while this side does holy labor while sweating profusely!”

This is something that can only be solved by understanding each other, but if it were easy, this problem wouldn’t have arisen in the first place.

‘Oh, that’s a headache.’

Judging from the situation, it seemed that it would not be possible to properly tie the knot.

“I understand the rough situation. So, what exactly do you want in Hell?”

“Heaven side bastards stop being arrogant and reduce the energy going into heaven.”

“Is that what everyone means?”

“Yes. The details may be a little different, but nothing too different.”

I got a sense of what they wanted. Of course, we couldn’t just trust Noktu’s words and move on.

“I think we should also listen to the stories of the other demons, is that okay?”

“Yes. like.”

“Can you gather the demons?”

“Well. I’ll start with the ones who aren’t busy. Can you wait?”

“Yes. It doesn’t matter.”

* * *

A huge space made entirely of white.

Leon was waiting for other demons here.

‘They said they were torturing me, can’t you hear anything?’

This space was quiet and comfortable.

I thought it would be closer to heaven than hell.

[Spirit and physical strength are recovering.]

[master. This is great. It doesn’t just recover, it seems to stabilize it?]

‘Is it good?’

[If someone else came, this would have been a surprise.]

‘Others? Why me?’

[It’s because we’ve already perfectly tuned the mind and body. Master’s mind and body are perfect.]

It meant that he was always under management at the level of seniority. Once again, I felt that Siri and Bixby were great.

Then, one side of the wall opens.

“Quaagh! kill! I’d rather kill you!”

“Do you have the strength to scream?”

“Quaagh!”

Noctu and the other angels walked out.

‘The soundproofing was good.’

It wasn’t that he wasn’t being tortured. It was just that the soundproofing was great.

“Is that your friend?”

“uh. He’s a good friend.”

I wondered if only Noktu was in the form of a child, but the other angels were also in the form of children. The two walked to the place where Leon was.

“hello.”

The angel immediately responded to Leon’s greeting.

“high. i have to go right back Keep it short.”

The angel showed his glove and said. There was a slimy black liquid all over the glove.

“Yes. We will keep it as short as possible.”

A good face and a child’s face. Up to this point, he looked like an angel, but his bloodshot eyes and black liquid on his gloves and clothes showed that he was a devil.

“Is there anything you want from Heaven?”

“after. Anything else is fine, I’d like you to do some upgrades to the facilities. These guys just take it and eat it… … .”

“Looks like Heaven is in charge of the facilities.”

“Listen to Noctu for details. I really need to go in.”

The angel left those words and hurriedly returned to where he came from.

The door opens.

“aagh! stop! This is hell! hell!”

“hell? no. I really haven’t even started.”

The angel disappeared inside.

Noctu didn’t care if this was normal or not, he gave an additional explanation.

“I said heaven keeps the frame, right? So are the facilities. Just as we create heaven, we can create an environment of hell.”

“understand. Then, I’ll take the next one.”

After that, I was able to meet other angels.

“What do you want? Well. I want you to finish the resting room that was promoted before the creator disappeared.”

“I want you to correct the bullshit they talk about. A real revolution is coming.”

“It is good to take energy. Instead, you should tell me where you wrote it. That’s how we control production, but the more I think about it, the more I get angry.”

… … .

The demands of the angels on duty in Hell were extremely reasonable. They weren’t making unreasonable demands.

Besides, their personalities were all different, and their personalities were different, but they had one thing in common.

‘He works really hard.’

They weren’t just making demands without doing any work. He was doing his best in the task given to him.

This was really important information.

‘What if the heaven side is the same as the angels on the hell side?’

What if the heavenly angels are doing their best?

‘Then, things get easier.’

Everyone doing their best in their respective positions.

It was an impossible condition if it were humans, not angels.

‘This means that at least there is no one to attack from behind.’

Even if the problem is sutured, if they hit each other in the back, the suture will break.

If something like this had happened in the Human World, Leon would have wiped it all out or replaced it with his own person.

Because this is a problem that has not been easily resolved.

‘But, if there is no one to attack.’

First of all, if you seal it up and have a system, it will roll well, and with time, it will become a system here.

‘I have a clue what to do.’

The direction of negotiations was visible.

Just then, Noctu’s smartphone rang.

“Yes. Okay. I’ll take you right away.”

Judging by Noktu’s expression, it seemed that the internal meeting had ended well. Just as Rion thought, Noktu opened his mouth right after he finished the call.

“It’s done! let’s go!”
