Chapter 67

- Even so? You know everything? - I asked concentrating all the same on her and her words.

- Yes. I and the Presence, or God, call him what you will. He has many names, but he never told me his true. Although there is a great mystery here that even Lucifer, His firstborn, cannot solve. Although his wife does not know his name. However, we have moved away from the topic ...

With these words, I already noticed that the world around us seemed to be frozen, no one was moving: no birds, no people, no cars ...

"… Lucifer. Here is my headache in this universe. Although, to be honest, he is one such unique person in all dozens of universes. Daddy's favorite after all. Here Mikhail is another matter. Each universe has its own. True, on this planet he is called Aminadiil. Although people continue to call him Michael ...

I did not interrupt her, but listened. After all, not every day it is possible to talk with Death. And to be honest, it is somehow boring for me to interrupt her. Not the caliber to play with.

"… You're such a good listener. Usually, both mortals and immortals are frightened by my only visible presence next to them. Not that they are trying to talk to me or listen. They begin to kneel down and beg me not to take their lives, but to let them live a little longer. Tiring. Although I may overestimate you. You have the Player's Mind. Okay, though, again I turned the conversation in the wrong place.

- Then, if you ... you do not mind that we switched to "you"?

- Not. Do not mind.

- Wonderful. Then, if you do not mind, I will voice my opinion about your arrival to me. You did not come to me out of idle curiosity. And because of a specific case. And my chuyka tells me that this is somehow connected with one not very horned, but charming Devil.

- Behold at the root! Didn't I say you were quick-witted? Well, I get very tired at work. Highly! Due to the fact that the Morning Star left Hell, leaving all the mechanism there on its 72 pillars, many souls were able to escape from there and are now roaming the earth. This makes me work in dual mode. I now have to take away the souls of intelligent and unreasonable beings, and those that are on the list, and now there is also a list that consists of those frames that came out "at will." And as you know, I don't like it.

- I understand that no one wants to do someone else's work. Excess hemorrhoids. I nodded.

- Here! At least someone understands me. - she made a plaintive face. - I am already torn, and here Lucifer puts sticks in my wheels. In general, I need him to return to his duties.

- Well, uh, what have I got to do with it?

- I want you to help me push Lucifer back to Hell. And of course it will be "paid" from my side.

- Hmm. Wait, that is, you want to say that you cannot return him to his duties in any way. Am I a mere mortal to do this?

- Well, let's start with the fact that you are not a mere mortal. You are a "player" who is not subject to many of the rules in this universe. Even me, in order to take your soul for rebirth, I will need to coordinate everything with the Almighty and the God of Games. And only then get down to business. BUT, this does not mean that you are immortal, it is just that it is more difficult for you to die than, say, for the average person on Earth. And you are funny, - she smiled again - Lucifer liked you and he became attached to you, and this happens rarely, and in such a short time. And made him his disciple. That's why you have a great chance of success. If you help me return him to Hell, no matter how, then I will fulfill any one of your requests. Unless, of course, this is the murder of the Almighty or His Firstborn. Here! She leaned back smugly in her seat.

Pretty ... tempting offer. And what should I do now.

- And if I refuse?

- I will be sad ... but I will not be offended. We'll have to act differently. I will not take revenge on you, you are funny and I will watch you with pleasure. After all, I am everywhere and everywhere. I was, is and will be. I give life and I take it. I gave it to this body three times already and took it twice. - then frost and sweat broke through me. After all, I did not understand what she was talking about. How THREE times ?! - Ha ha ha. Yes, this body has its own secrets. And when you find out which ones, you will be very surprised. I think it will be funny. However, I need to hurry, think well about it.

And after that, she disappeared, and the world went on as usual again. In addition to a slight shock, after such a meeting, I still have messages from the system:

You have increased the level of the skill "Narototherapy"

You have increased the level of the skill "Narototherapy"

You have increased the level of the skill "Narototherapy"

You have increased the level of the skill "Narototherapy"

You have increased the level of the skill "Narototherapy"

+ 10% chance of surviving in all conditions

+ 5% chance of meeting a "celebrity"

+ 5% mental stability.

+ 5 to life

+ 5000 experience.

Yes, after visiting Death, I was given +5 to life. However, she also seems to be in charge of life. Maybe her presence next to me influenced it so much? Although to understand this is just to break your psyche once again.

We're just going to jail ...
