Luke doesn't care if he's joking or not. People who have no idea will just keep silent, and it's easy to say if they do.
He nodded: "Then let me give you a joking answer too. If you want, I can pay you a ton of gold at one time, or give you a one-kilogram gold bar every month, which can be regarded as... a little toy for you. "
Castre: ... If Mephisto was so generous back then, would he hesitate in the end
This is an unresolved assumption.
He could only shake his head: "Just kidding, I don't need these, no matter gold or American knives."
Luke nodded: "You said it was a joke. But I will put one million in cash with you, and you can take it yourself if you need it. No matter how much you use, I will make it up in the next year. "
Castre: "...I don't need to."
"No, you need it. Because this is not a salary for you, but an activity fund." Luke: "If you haven't used a dollar for a year, then of course I don't need to replenish it in the next year. So this money It's just an activity expense that belongs to you, after all, we are not running a company, and it is neither possible nor necessary for you to use an invoice to reimburse the account."
The corner of Castre's mouth twitched a little: Why do I feel that this is really like a company, and I am a businessman who runs business and plays tricks.
No matter how awkward the old man felt, he did not reject Luke's deal in the end.
In other words, Luke didn't give him the right to refuse at all.
When the old man procrastinated with silence, Luke had already given him a refillable Life One with a syringe gun.
Twenty milliliters of Life No. 1 had an amazing effect. In less than a minute, Castre's hair and beard turned from gray to black, and the wrinkles on his face disappeared quickly.
His appearance has returned directly from the age of seventy to that of his forties or fifties.
This is not the end.
After a week, 90% of the effect of Life One will be exerted.
The remaining 10% of the effect will last for several months and slowly disappear.
After half a year, Castre will have the appearance of his thirties.
This is what Life One does, and why Luke doesn't use it most of the time, but uses Tandy's Life Light Dagger.
Because its effect is too heaven-defying, whether there are hidden dangers is also unknown.
On the contrary, Tandy's light dagger ability has been confirmed by the system, it is pure vitality, and will not have any additional impact on the recipient.
Who else is more suitable to be the test subject of Life No. 1 than an aging and dying Ghost Rider
Anyway, Castro made money by living a few more years, and Luke had a clear conscience.
As for that deal, it was purely preparedness.
The flame and the eye of judgment possessed by the ghost knight are amazingly lethal against extraordinary creatures.
And compared to the young and uncontrollable Johnny Blazer, Castro, an old knight without much anger, made Luke more at ease.
The vengeful spirit's thirst for sinful souls is well controlled by the old man.
In the past few months of monitoring this old man, he has not gone out to "judge" the evil souls.
Investing in Johnny, a young man with "exuberant firepower and uncontrollable self-control", is far worse than investing in this old man, at least he will not cause too much trouble.
It doesn't matter if the combat power is weaker, what Luke needs more is his "magic injury" rather than physical strength.
The old man also had enough patience to pass the adaptation period of moving quietly, and learn Luke's safety rules by the way.
At least one must be proficient in stealth uniforms and cleaning hands, and one cannot be targeted once one goes out. After all, the appearance of the Ghost Rider is spectacular.
However, the old man's dark horse from hell is not as violent as Johnny's flame chariot from hell, and the damage to public property will be much less.
After finishing the half-push Castre, the avatar finally returned to New York.
The placement of Castre is best done by clones.
Otherwise, it would be bad for the big news that nypd detectives raise evil hell creatures in the future.
…
New York experienced another bombing, but people here are in good spirits, and within a few days only superhero fans are still talking about it.
But it was just one of their topics of conversation, without the enthusiasm of the previous days.
Humans are such fickle animals.
Fickleness makes it easy for them to forget their kindness, and it also makes it easier for them to get out of grief.
So Luke didn't feel much about it, anyway... There are still many big events in the future, and it's best for everyone to get used to it in advance.
As for issuing a warning, let everyone leave this right and wrong place, forget it.
This is the financial, economic and commercial center of New York, and it is also the most populous big city in the United States.
If you want to move this kind of city away, the gentlemen of Congress would rather die half of the people in the city.
At that time, the rest of the people who want to leave will naturally go without them paying a penny.
The situation in the police station has also returned to normal. The high-level bosses who are fighting openly and secretly have nothing to do with the little detectives below.
Luke himself lives very leisurely every day, and he must leave work on time at two o'clock in the afternoon every day, and he will never steal the limelight.
If he, the hero in the bombing case, is still so hardworking, why do he need his colleagues from the police detective department
If you have extra time, train your future teammates, study the new abilities you just got, and throw the stock in the drug dealer's warehouse into the sea to feed the fish at night, living a peaceful and fulfilling life.
During this period, only one good or bad thing happened, that is, Alice and Carrie's mother and daughter suddenly became his one-star teammates.
Luke was also surprised by this.
If pheromone manipulation could brainwash teammates recognized by the system, he would have had several such teammates long ago.
But in fact, only the mother and daughter passed the system judgment.
He has been imprisoned by him in the No. 2 space, regularly several times a day, with enough pheromones + basic hypnotic brainwashing Erika Heikong, and the two daughters of the dust angel Angel are still hostile.
What's the difference between Alice and Carrie, Erica and Angel? That is, the mother and daughter are grateful to Luke.
He used pheromones + basic hypnosis just to stabilize the condition of the two of them, and he didn't mean to make them grateful.
This behavior made them let down their guard, or it was easier to appreciate him trusting him, so they passed the judgment of their teammates.
For the sake of experimentation, and by the way, let them relax and avoid being completely divorced from society, he also took Alice and Carrie to deal with the gangsters who robbed and raped them a few times.
The mother and daughter are the main attack, and he picks up the leak.
After a few times, the system's teammate reminder appeared.
This also allowed him to speculate on the system's teammate determination mechanism: fighting together + enough trust = system teammates.
For example, Erica and Angel were also released by him for comparative experiments.
They were still the thugs, and he picked up the loopholes to finish.
These two women have no resistance to beating or even killing people, and the division of labor when they were vigilantes is almost the same as that of Alice's mother and daughter, but they cannot be judged by the system.
