Seven Sins System Chapter 355. Temptation And Choice


    In the blink of an eye, we found ourselves back in the infirmary.


    My clone, wearing the guise of a diligent doctor, sat calmly in a chair, twirling a pen between his fingers. His gaze was fixed on a book resting on the table before him, mirroring the image of a meticulous physician engrossed in his duties.


    As for me, my form had shifted from its devilish essence to a more human appearance. Likewise, Puriel stood beside me.


    "Ah, you should let meugh a little longer. What a party pooper," I grumbled in disappointment, trying to suppress thest bursts ofughter. But hey, seeing a mortal''s ns unravel right in front of her? Pure entertainment for me. I made a mental note: definitely joining her again if she decided to pull another summoning stunt.


    "Told ya, not all mortals are good," I added, shooting my clone a smirk as I extended my hand.


    The clone, now putting the pen, reciprocated, and as we made contact, he seamlessly morphed into my own tentacle.


    "All mortals are born pure and kind," Puriel defended her stance, her gaze meeting mine. "It was the demons and devils who made them fall into sin," she insisted, a hint of divine righteousness in her tone.


    I couldn''t help but roll my eyes. "Oh,e on, Puriel. You''ve been down here enough times to know that mortals are quite capable of messing things up all on their own," I retorted, my devilish grin widening. "We might nudge them a bit, but the credit for the chaos they create is all on them."Puriel crossed her arms, disapproval etched on her face. "They have the capacity for redemption," she countered.


    I chuckled. "Sure, sure. But where''s the fun in that? Redemption is overrated. The real spectacle is watching them navigate the mess they make," I teased, knowing it would irk the goddess.


    I scoffed and nonchntly plopped down in the seat. "Besides," I began, my gaze locking onto Puriel, "don''t you think it''s so unfair that when mortals do good things, they get full ountability for it? But when they mess up, let''s saymit a crime, most of them are quick to pull the ''the devil made me do it'' card. It''s like, me or my kin do nothing, and those mortals do it in full consciousness, but they still use us of being the mastermind behind all the chaos. Isn''t that just hrious?" I argued, a sly grin ying on my lips.


    Puriel shot me a t stare, arms folded across her chest. "But you guys did tempt them into doing it, right? Not always, but once in a while," she countered, her voice carrying a hint of skepticism.


    I leaned back in the chair, a thoughtful frown etching my features. "If we need that mortal to do something for us. Then yes. But we won''t bother for those regr folks. There''s no benefit for us," I exined. "I mean, really, the devils are the ones who deal with the corrupted souls and dish out the punishment. We''ve got more than enough going on down there in the fiery pit."


    Puriel raised an eyebrow, seemingly unconvinced. "But surely, you can''t deny that temptation ys a part in their choices," she pressed, her gaze unwavering.


    A devilish twinkled in my eyes. "Oh, temptation is like our middle name. But the choice, my dear, that''s all on them. We might dangle the carrot, but whether they take a bite or not is entirely up to those mortals. And trust me, mortals are excellent at making their own bad choices. No devilish intervention needed for that."


    I grinned triumphantly as Puriel conceded with a dry smile. "You have a point there," she admitted, turning around to retrieve the paper bag containing her breakfast.


    But being the curious devil that I am, I couldn''t let the opportunity slip away. "One question, Puriel," I interjected before she could make her exit. My devilish charm dialed up. "You can detect mortal''s hearts, right? Tell me, why don''t you use that skill?" I fired away, seizing the chance to poke at the divine mystery that was Puriel. Despite myughter and mischievous demeanor, I had caught on to the oddity of her choices.


    The question seemed to catch her off guard, and a subtle twitch betrayed her usualposed demeanor. "It''s none of your business," she shot back, a hint of defensivenesscing her words.


    I raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. "That is my business. Because what you just did was really stupid to the point, it insulted me as another creature of this realm, and I know you have your reasons," I stated firmly, my gaze locking onto Puriel. "After all, we''re practically work buddies right now. You can spill the beans," I teased, pushing for an answer to my curiosity.


    She turned sharply, her eyes meeting mine with a piercing intensity. "I don''t share my secrets with a devil," she dered, a hint of defiance in her voice.


    A smug smile yed on my lips. "Okay. I''m not going to force it. Doesn''t do me any favors either. But I won''t share my secrets with you either, and I bet you know what I mean," I replied in a challenging tone.


    Puriel gave me an exasperated look, her patience visibly tested. "You are so childish," she sighed, a hint of disappointment in her tone.


    I crossed my arms, feigning innocence. "No, I''m not. All I asked is still rted to our mission. An information for an information. That''s how teamwork works, right?" I countered, my devilish grin betraying the mischievous delight I took in our banter.
