Chapter 58

I wouldn't even mind that many boosts to this fucking skill given who's in front of me.

Lucifer immediately tugged at Chloe Decker's arm and pulled him away from us.

- He's not a detective. He's just a civilian specialist, and yes, unfortunately he is my constant partner. Decker said resignedly.

- Understand. - With the same tone and for some reason, Renee looked at me.

- Hey! Why do I have the feeling that I am being compared to someone? - I was already indignant.

- Right. Interjected Lucifer. - He and I are different planes of being. I am perfection itself. Well, unless, of course, my father is not. But in truth, I would not consider him perfect. The fact is that my daddy ...

- Lucifer! - I feel a little more and one cute blonde will rush to kill one devil.

- I think I forgot to introduce myself - Isaac Dinklage, also a detective.

- Nice to meet you. - said Lucifer and shook my hand, and when he shook it, his face changed for a moment, his look became a little worried and confused, but you need to give him credit, he quickly pulled himself together. - You didn't work for my father for an hour before?

"If your father is not the President of the United States, General of the Marine Corps, or Commissioner Gordon, then no.

Lucifer fell silent, but still smiled sweetly, while Chloe Decker took over the "reins" and took us to her captain to present and give us the materials we need. And all this time. EVERYTHING! Lucifer glared at me. Looks like he thinks I'm an angel or someone else. He probably doesn't even know who Chloe really is. Or maybe he knows. After all, I do not know the chronology of the history of this series thoroughly, and I have watched it for a long time already.

After an hour of flipping through the reports, I left Rene alone in the office allocated to us, and went out into the street myself. Especially so that Lucifer can see me.

Since meeting with him is inevitable and he seems to have realized that I am not an ordinary man in the street. So, we cannot avoid the conversation, so let it go like this when it is convenient for me and on my terms. Although this is only if it is possible with him.

- Detective. Lucifer called out to me.

"Lucifer… Morningstar. I honestly didn't expect to meet the devil here. I completely forgot that you exist in this world.

- I see you took my words seriously. This makes me happy. Detective Decker doesn't want to do that. Absolutely! But in spite of what they say about me, I never lie. And in general I hate lies. And you?

- I, too. Although I resort to all sorts of verbal quirks in interrogation or when meeting with "freaks" from Gotham.

- OK OK. In general, I think we both understand that we want to know a little more about each other. Did I understand you correctly?

- Yes.

- Then I think we can go to "you"?

- I'm not against.

- Perfectly! And now - he gazed into my eyes and said - Who are you? And for what purposes did you come to this city?

Attention! You got + 10% mental toughness.

Attention! Gain + 10% Resistance Against Mental Attacks.

A slight tingling sensation in my head, but I don't feel like talking openly with him. So the player's mind protected me from Lucifer? Interesting…

"You shouldn't apply your abilities to me. They don't work on me. If you are interested in any questions about me, then I will be happy to answer them.

Again this change in face and again a good-natured face.

- You surprised me. This usually doesn't work with just angels and Detective Decker.

"I'm not an angel or a demon. I am a person, albeit not an ordinary one. If you are interested in whether I work for your father and whether I was sent to him, then my answer is no. I have nothing to do with HIM. But connected to the other side. And personally to you, Lucifer, I have no desire to interfere or harm. I can tell you even more, but it takes time and space. Not here.

- Then I suggest my club "De Luxe". All booze is free. I feel you can tell me a lot.

- And I will, but I offer fair play.

- I.e?

- Question-answer from you and question-answer from me. I am also interested in many things in you and in this world.

- Fair enough. He nodded. - Here is my card, in the same place the address of the club. I will warn you, you will be taken directly to me.

And then he left.

And I was ready to drink valerian mixed with everything that burns, just to calm down. The first stage of negotiations with the Devil was successful. Now it remains to come to his house and get the information that interests me.

+ 3 to charisma.

I hope I get something else good besides increasing the charisma ...
