The North American Gourmet Demon Handbook

The veins on Li Shanze's forehead were throbbing. When he was being chased, he was in a hurry to escape and had no time to look closely. He hurriedly signed an agreement to sell his soul with the devil. Who knew that for some unknown reason, the devil inexplicably registered her and Li Shanze as husband and wife.

The Las Vegas marriage registry is so sloppy! Can't you be more serious? How can you allow an illegal immigrant (referring to crossing the border) "Ogre" and the devil to become a legal couple?

Li Shanze also blamed himself for being careless. No wonder the symbol of the contract was a ring on his left ring finger. He should have noticed something was wrong earlier.

Li Shanze laughed in anger: "Okay, my dear wife, I'm here to fulfill your wifely duties and satisfy your husband!"

"Oh ha ha ha ha!" The devil's laughter became crazy, "You are not worthy of my attention now, you still need to work hard!"

"Since you are unable to fulfill your duties as a wife, I am filing for divorce."

"My dear husband, according to the agreement you signed with your own hands, as long as we divorce, your soul will belong to me. Is that okay?"

The female devil's voice was filled with surprise and joy, as if a wife who had been neglected for a long time had finally received the favor of her husband.

"Then we won't just be able to meet in your dreams anymore. We can be together day and night!"

But the artificial acting made Li Shanze feel sick. Of course, this was what the female devil did on purpose.

Yes, that's it. Keep your anger, keep your hatred. This fresh negativity is so delicious!

The female devil wanted to scream with joy.

However, the negative emotions that were originally surging suddenly disappeared.

The female devil felt a sense of loss, and she was almost protesting to Li Shanze in dissatisfaction.

However, Li Shanze spoke before she could, "Oh, then I'd like to decline. Now, according to the agreement, you've stayed in my dream long enough. Get out of my dream, devil!"

After a moment of trance, Li Shanze's dream finally returned to peace.

"Oh my, I was almost satisfied, but you ignored me like this. What a cruel little husband."

The female devil let out a long and lazy sigh. She slowly shook the red wine glass and left a sexy lip print on the glass with her red lips.

But her eyes were full of coldness, and she looked down arrogantly through the glass window.

Her gaze fell through the flying snowflakes onto Manhattan and the bustling Wall Street. The pedestrians and vehicles were like ants, not even as big as the snowflakes floating before her eyes.

Snowflakes fell heavily, avoiding the hot air coming out of the chimney, and landed on the stone house that seemed to have been abandoned by the world. Under the eaves, Li Shanze was snoring like thunder.

018 Each One's Thoughts

While Li Shanze was sleeping soundly, Xia Li was trying hard to respond to Robert and his wife's greetings at the lunch table. She even pretended to participate in Robert and his wife's prayer before the meal.

This was mainly because Kate was still there. Charlie didn't want to say much in front of Kate, the police officer, and tried her best to avoid revealing more information - she subconsciously disliked Kate and was intuitively wary of this female police officer.

So Charlie's answers to everything were very vague and superficial. Robert and his wife noticed Charlie's wariness of Kate, so the topic quickly turned back to small talk about the weather and heavy snow.

Although Mr. Robert had a lot of complaints, he restrained himself from complaining to the two female guests.

After all, Christmas has just passed and the New Year has not yet arrived - this excuse also applies to Americans during the New Year.

Charlie actually hoped that Kate would leave Robert and his wife's house as soon as possible so that she could have a serious talk with Robert and his wife about Buchaska.

However, Kate was not tactful at all. The female police officer crossed her left leg over her right leg and sat in a very relaxed and casual posture. She held the coffee calmly and sipped it slowly and leisurely.

The atmosphere in the living room was very strange, and it was almost entirely due to the hostess, Mrs. Robert, who put up the paper. Then, out of respect for the hostess, Kate and Charlie laughed in a seemingly cheerful manner to maintain the superficial harmony.

As the two young ladies laughed about the snow today, Mr. Robert finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up, nodded to the two guests, and left the living room.

Then Mrs. Robert followed.

"Don't you need to be on duty, Officer Mackenzie?" Finally, while Robert and his wife were away for a short while, Charlie, who had lost her patience, was about to order them to leave.

"I'm waiting to investigate your case, Ms. Butner. If you are really wronged as you said and want to clear your name, please be patient." Kate said slowly.

At this moment, Mrs. Robert came back, and the two ladies smiled again, as if the little confrontation had never happened.

This bastard policeman, how can he investigate a case while being a guest at someone else's house? Who is he trying to fool with this excuse?

Why hasn't she left yet? Not to mention helping me clear my name, I still have to discuss Buchaska's case with Robert and his wife. She can't hear this. I have to find a way to get rid of her!

This is what Miss Witch thinks.

Could it be that this woman has completely become an accomplice of the ogre? Why is she desperately trying to get rid of me?

Could it be that if she leaves me, she will harm Robert and his wife and help the ogre to have his meal? Oh, I almost believed them before!

The ogre pretended to have no appetite and went to sleep, but that's a poor excuse! I will keep a close eye on them and will never leave this place!

This was the thought that flashed through the mind of the female police officer.

Charlie and Kate had different thoughts. They looked at each other with smiles, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

In fact, Kate Mackenzie originally planned to leave after lunch. After all, she had reached a preliminary deal with Li Shanze. However, when Li Shanze declined lunch because he didn't want to eat white people's food, the female police officer changed her mind.

In Kate's opinion, the "cannibal" Li Shanze actually refused human food, which clearly showed that he was going to eat humans - as for why he didn't eat those poachers before - it was obvious that he noticed that she was observing him secretly.

Of course, if Li Shanze knew what Kate was thinking, he would definitely have a good argument with Kate about what "human food" is - can white people's food be considered human food?

As the person who brought the "Ogre" to Fern Town, Kate believed she had an obligation to protect the safety of the residents of Fern Town. So she had long since made up her mind to keep a close eye on Li Shanze and not give him any chance to commit crimes.

As for the "deal" she had reached with Li Shanze before, it was transformed into an excuse to stabilize Li Shanze. She would continue to push it forward, but did not expect any results.

Kate did not feel any regret in her heart, but she greatly increased her vigilance against Li Shanze.

This ogre is the most evil guy I have ever seen. I didn't even detect the slightest lie in his previous words "I have never eaten humans"! This is definitely a vicious, untrustworthy villain who treats lying as food and water!

Kate also took the list of "tragic victims eaten by ogres" previously reported by various states seriously.

As an insider of the state's violent apparatus, she knew from a glance at the files that most of them were cases taken by county police, state police, and even the FBI, taking advantage of the situation to deal with difficult or even backlogged cases—in any case, the cannibal was a good excuse to close accounts.

Kate Mackenzie scoffed at these colleagues, believing that they had abandoned their principles and corrupted the just law enforcement system. This was one of the reasons why Kate did not directly arrest Li Shanze.

But now, Kate felt that she had to carefully identify and see which crimes were committed by this vicious ogre.

Once the ogre's crime is confirmed, or if the ogre is caught in the act, Kate will capture him without hesitation.

It is obvious that Kate McKenzie has her own understanding of evil and crime, and her own principles.

In Kate's opinion, Li Shanze's fight back and killing of the evil poachers and drug traffickers who were chasing them for no reason was neither evil nor a crime - for Kate, killing evil could even be considered an act of justice.

It is important to confront deep evils, but we must not leave such glaring evils unattended.

Kate McKenzie still hasn't given up the idea of ​​"fighting evil with evil."

If Li Shanze knew that Officer Kate McKenzie had only imagined and misunderstood because she didn't want to eat white food, then he would probably - he would probably still refuse to eat white food.

Li Shanze is now sleeping soundly, and facing Kate Mackenzie who is so calm and unwilling to leave, Miss Witch is complaining in her heart. She even disregards social etiquette and impatiently wants to drive Kate away.

However, Kate MacKenzie pretended not to understand and sat there as steady as the Appalachian Mountains, refusing to leave.

Mrs. Robert, who saw all this, became more and more convinced of her guess.

Kate and Mr. Li definitely have a story. Look, isn't this a rekindled love?

No wonder Kate is so rude to any man, it turns out she already has someone in her heart!

Haha, it’s not surprising that after meeting a handsome, young and promising man like Mr. Li, she looks down on other men.

But what's the relationship between Xia Li and Mr. Li? Uh, the CEO of an investment group and his beautiful young assistant...

No wonder she is so hostile to Kate.

Oh, it’s great to be young.

Mrs. Robert sighed with satisfaction in her heart. Mrs. Robert felt that she had seen through everything.

Today's "three-cornered drama" greatly satisfied Mrs. Robert's curiosity and brought a lot of fun to her boring and hard farm life.

But Kate and Charlie are both good kids, so who should I help?

Mrs. Robert fell into hesitation and doubt. She habitually looked up at the cross hanging in the middle of the room. Once she was confused, Mrs. Robert was accustomed to asking the Lord for help.

No, that's not right! Mr. Li is already married!

At this moment, Mrs. Robert had a flash of inspiration and thought of the "wedding ring" on Li Shanze's left ring finger.

Thank you, Lord of infinite wisdom, for your guidance.

Mrs. Robert praised her God loudly in her heart.

At the same time, Mrs. Robert also had a very bad impression of Li Shanze.

I will do my best to stop these two silly girls. Humph, this Mr. Li is really something, he obviously already has a wife, but he is still entangled with two such good girls!

Mrs. Robert swore in her heart.

019 Mayor

Adhering to the resolute and swift action of the working people, Mrs. Robert, after deciding to "break up" the relationship between the two ladies and Li Shanze, immediately took action.

First, Mrs. Robert began to try to get more information about Li Shanze from Charlie and Kate indirectly, trying to prescribe the right medicine.

Although Kate is young, she is a professionally trained police officer. She keenly noticed that Mrs. Robert was asking about Li Shanze.

Although Kate didn't understand Mrs. Robert's motive for doing this, she secretly cooperated with Mrs. Robert, and her words were full of provocation, trying to take the opportunity to get more information about Li Shanze from Charlie.

Of course, Charlie was no match for them. She spent a lot of time studying magic, and apart from reading newspapers, she was almost isolated from all other modern means of obtaining information - she neither watched TV nor went online, let alone used a mobile phone.

This makes Charlie quite naive in terms of social relationships.

Miss Witch naturally didn't understand the hidden meaning behind Mrs. Robert's concern and Kate's sarcasm.

However, despite the two ladies racking their brains and speaking eloquently, they could not get any useful information other than "Li Shanze loves animals", "Although he is ruthless in his words, he is a good person", and "He seems to lack common sense".

After all, Miss Witch just got a ride with Li Shanze last night, and they have only known each other for less than 24 hours.

This was not unexpected to Kate, and she was not disappointed at all.

The female police officer found that this witch named Charlie Butner looked completely naive.

Either she is a very scary and scheming actress, or she is just an innocent girl who knows nothing about the world - Kate thinks the latter is more likely, as the female police officer trusts her intuition very much.

Kate's disgust towards Li Shanze, who deceived girls, grew, and she became more determined to rescue the "poor brainwashed witch" Charlie from the evil "ogre".

"Hey, Charlie, you don't have to keep it a secret for your boss. Just tell us about Mr. Li's reputation among his colleagues." Mrs. Robert saw that her roundabout way of asking questions was not working and Charlie's words were so tight-lipped, so she simply changed her strategy and asked directly.

How should I edit this?

Charlie was at a loss for words when asked. She was speechless and even blushed with embarrassment.

"Well, I, I, I usually do research on my own and almost never contact Mr. Li! It was just a coincidence this time that he brought me to Fern Town!" Charlie chose to tell the truth as much as possible.

Oh, if only there was a spell to brainwash people... No, that's not right. The teacher said that manipulating other people's minds is an evil spell. What should I do?

Buchaska, help me! I have come to fulfill an ancient oath between wizards and gods!

Li Shanze, you cunning man, wake up quickly and stop sleeping!

Charlie silently cried out for help in her heart.

Li Shanze remained indifferent to Xia Li's request for help. He was still sleeping soundly, and the accumulated fatigue over the past few days made his snoring sound like thunder.

His snoring even penetrated the poorly soundproofed walls and came into the living room in waves, quite regular and regular.

Charlie listened to Li Shanze's snoring and felt so angry that her teeth itched, and Mrs. Robert's persistent questioning made her more embarrassed.

Perhaps the witch's wish to fulfill her promise was heard by the gods, and they came to save the ancient ally - the door opened, and Mr. Robert walked in, covered in snow.

Following Mr. Robert were two men who were about the same age as Mr. and Mrs. Robert, in their early fifties.

With the guests, Mrs. Robert finally had no time to pursue Charlie.

Mrs. Robert stood up hurriedly to welcome the new guests: "Oh, Mayor Vincent, Sheriff Larry, you are here. Come on, please take a seat. Merry Christmas."

Mayor Vincent of Fern Town was short, less than 1.7 meters tall (note).

He had the same sun-bleached blond hair as Mr. Robert, but unlike the thin Mr. Robert, his cheeks were rosy and broad.

Mayor Vincent's blue eyes were bright and sparkling, as if burning with an eternal flame.

He took off his hat, nodded to the three ladies in the room, and then laughed heartily: "Hahaha, Martha, Merry Christmas."

It seemed as if he was very happy to be a guest this time.

Sheriff Larry is a tall and strong man. He is 1.9 meters tall, with thick arms and thick calluses on his fingers. He looks strong and powerful.

Sheriff Larry said a simple greeting and then remained silent.

But perhaps it was due to his professional habit, Sheriff Larry looked around Robert's living room as if he was scanning a crime scene, looking like a lion patrolling his own territory.

His eyes swept over Charlie, and he didn't seem to take this "investment assistant" seriously.
