The North American Gourmet Demon Handbook

The devil's wife looked as if she was about to cry when she heard this: "Dear, how could you have the heart to abandon me? I came here in a hurry to help you!"

"I'm serious, dear. Our soul contract can be maintained without marriage, right?" Li Shanze made a serious expression.

"No, dear, absolutely not. I won't leave you, and you mustn't abandon me, okay?" Alessia looked pitiful.

Although she appears to be very vulnerable on the surface, she is actually quite different.

In fact, her long arms, strong legs and slender tail rushed forward and clamped Li Shanze tightly, as if to make Li Shanze completely unable to move.

Maybe sleep paralysis is also called sleep paralysis by ghosts?

Li Shanze thought half-jokingly.

In fact, he could easily break free from Alessia's restraints, but he did not feel any hostility from his devilish wife, so he chose to be held tightly in her arms and feel the softness of her body.

"Be good and don't move, dear, I'm going to spray perfume on you." Alessia said softly.

"I don't think Hermes Land can cover up the smell of willpower." Li Shanze sneered.

"My dear, you are my husband, so of course you should wear a more special perfume. This is made by me personally just for you~"

The devil's wife's tone sounded particularly sweet, just like a little wife on her honeymoon.

Then she took out a small bottle of perfume.

The perfume bottle is very exquisite and is made in the shape of the Statue of Liberty, but the appearance of this Statue of Liberty looks a little unique.

Her torch was replaced by a syringe and her Bible by a checkbook.

When Alessia pressed the perfume bottle, the sound was not the sound of soft spray, but the roar of the F-35 fighter jet engine.

The scent that sprayed out of the perfume bottle was not a refreshing and intoxicating scent, but a foul odor that hit me in the face.

"Cough cough cough! Bah bah bah! You are trying to murder your husband!" Li Shanze cursed in frustration.

Li Shanze felt that this female devil must be taking revenge.

"Honey, don't be angry. My perfume can definitely cover up the bad smell coming from you." Alessia's tone was still delicate, making people feel numb.

"First of all, I don't think I have any bad smell; secondly, what you are doing is at best covering up other smells with a more foul smell!" Li Shanze said unhappily.

"Humph, you already attract so many wild women. If it weren't for covering you up, I wouldn't be willing to spray you with this perfume that will make you a heartthrob, dear."

Alessia bit her lip, her expression looking weak and fragile, as if she was extremely aggrieved.

"Is this it? Something that smells so bad that no one needs to explain it?" Li Shanze really couldn't accept this stench.

"Just listen to the introduction!" Alessia acted coquettishly and rubbed against Li Shanze - if Li Shanze had not been held tightly by her, perhaps this coquettishness would have been useful.

Now Li Shanze was just feeling nauseous from the stench and didn't want to talk at all.

"The top note is the stench of money, dominated by the aroma of ink used to print US dollars, mixed with the burnt aroma of a computer room where power is forced to shut down during a stock market correction, and a hint of the rust of Wall Street's copper bull."

"This is pure greed! No wonder it stinks so bad." Li Shanze had been holding his breath, but when he couldn't help it, he complained.

Alessia chuckled, "My dear, this is the best aphrodisiac smell."

She then enthusiastically continued, "The middle note is a pharmaceutical blues, drawn from the sweetness of skyrocketing insulin prices, supplemented by the metallic tang of anabolic steroids and the rancidity of expired protein powder, and finally the suffocating bitterness of patented wall moss and the burnt plastic bitterness of generic drug crushers."

"You mentioned rottenness just now, right? This kind of thing can't be used to make perfume!" Li Shanze didn't think the smell of the middle note was that good. It still smelled so bad that it made him feel annoyed and nauseous.

"What about anabolic steroids?! Let me ask you, will spraying this stuff really not make your head pointy?"

Alessia was very proud. "Hehe, this is my masterpiece. It perfectly blends the psychedelic feeling just like taking drugs."

"The base note is called the Smoke of Democracy, anchored by the lingering white phosphorus of the remains of Iraqi children, complemented by the citrus notes of Agent Orange in the Vietnamese jungle, and a touch of the burnt ashes of the UN Charter."

Unconsciously, Li Shanze had regained his freedom. He suddenly raised his hand and pinched his nose: "This smells absolutely unpleasant, and it's already in the realm of hellish jokes!"

"The smell of capital in the top note is the rosemary sprinkled on the lamb by the free market;"

"A mid-tone drug blues that evokes everyone's equal desire for death;"

"The smoke of democracy in the aftermath allows the flower of universal values ​​to bloom in the flesh and blood of the Third World."

"Believe me, my dear husband, although you are an outsider, after you spray this three-note perfume, you will be the most charming and attractive person in America."

Li Shanze immediately grasped the key words: "Wait, you know I'm an outsider? What else do you know? Is there any way for me to leave this damn place?"

"I'm sorry, dear. Your arrival was just an accident. You can't leave this world." Alessia smiled and shook her head, then she stood up. "Then, see you next time, dear."

"Wait, don't go!" Li Shanze reached out to pull Alessia and pulled her into his arms. "I still have many questions to ask you."

When he put the familiar body covered with his marks into his arms, he realized that he had woken up unconsciously. The person he pulled into his arms was not Alessia, but Kate.

In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, Li Shanze only heard Alessia's soft voice: "It's not the time yet, dear."

Kate woke up from her sleep.

The knight's eyes were filled with murderous intent at first, but her eyes immediately became blurred, and she couldn't help but rub against Li Shanze actively, asking for pleasure from him regardless of her injured body.

There was only a last spark of resistance left in her eyes.

"Master, ah, Master, you, the smell of your body is so charming." She exclaimed intermittently in the hazy fire of love.

It seemed that in Kate's eyes, the stench of the third-level witchcraft pollution on Li Shanze had completely disappeared, and she was now more involved and enjoying it than during the day.

Li Shanze also sniffed to make sure he didn't smell the stench that almost made him vomit.

What kind of perfume is this?

Li Shanze wanted to continue thinking about it, but the great knight's sudden burst of infinite enthusiasm and the beautiful body that seemed to appear only in classical art finally took away all his attention.

132 Wreckage

"Ha, you're finally back, Li!" Xia Li happily opened the door to welcome Li Shanze's return. "You seem to be in a good mood."

Li Shanze, looking refreshed, really looked relieved.

"Yeah, it took a lot of effort to deal with the FBI's internal review." Li Shanze hung his bowler hat and windbreaker on the hanger. "Fortunately, it's finally over."

Xia Li didn't seem to doubt the excuse Li Shanze made up at all.

"Your stink is completely gone! You smell so good now!"

Xia Li couldn't help but snuggle into Li Shanze's arms, gently sniffing his cashmere fragrance, and even closed her eyes in a daze.

Li Shanze raised his eyebrows. Although he could not smell any fragrance at all, and did not feel that he had any bad smell after absorbing the willpower before, based on Xia Li's performance, Alessia's bottle of strange "perfume" did work.

When he thought of this devilish wife, Li Shanze was now a little confused. He couldn't understand what was going on with this devilish Alessia.

According to traditional ideas, the devil who attempts to devour human souls must be evil.

But when Li Shanze thought of himself, the stigmatized "cannibal", he became unsure about what the "devil" Alessia was.

Is she a demon in the sense of Dante's Divine Comedy, or is she the demon described in Milton's Paradise Lost?

Li Shanze's whereabouts are unknown for the time being.

"Angel and Gray just called back. They're already in DC. Gray's mother's funeral is tomorrow."

Xia Li was like a happy little bird, circling around Li Shanze.

"They've arrived." Li Shanze nodded and chatted casually with Xia Li.

"Yes, they are here. They left me such a big house to live in alone. It's really too empty here. Luckily you came back in time, Li!"

"How's your research on that piece of bronze debris going?" Li Shanze ruffled Xia Li's brown hair. "Once you figure out how to make witchcraft and electricity coexist, you'll be able to enjoy modern technology without any worries."

Charlie shook her head in distress: "No, I studied it for most of the day yesterday, but I didn't have any good ideas."

She took Li Shanze to the storage room where the remains of the Liberty Bell were placed.

"The witchcraft and related magic arrays here are too complicated, and there are many energies that I can't understand at all..." Xia Li rambled on and on about the progress of her research - to be exact, there was almost no progress.

"Oh, there's no rush. Take your time." Li Shanze reached out to touch the bronze bell, trying to absorb some more willpower to see if he could complete the First Amendment Finger.

The perfume provided by Alessia might be able to deceive others, but it failed to deceive the remaining wish power in the Liberty Bell.

As soon as Li Shanze placed his hand on it, he felt a huge repulsive force. The remaining willpower in the wreckage of the Liberty Bell fiercely pushed Li Shanze's hand away.

"The remaining energy inside is all willpower, right? Didn't you absorb a little of Buchaska's divinity and His remaining power? Can't you understand?" Li Shanze asked curiously.

"Well, that was a gift from Buchaska. Before it completely dissipated, He proactively used those magic circles to transform this power into witchcraft energy that I can understand and utilize. So I don't know much about willpower..."

Upon hearing this, Charlie scratched her head embarrassedly.

"Oh, maybe we need Kate's help. As a Grand Knight of the Catholic Church, she should have a good understanding of vows - at least she can help us find an archbishop who can help." Li Shanze said.

"Yeah, Kate." Charlie was delighted. "Where is she now? Has she returned to work?"

She's probably still in room 2806 at the Ritz-Carlton.

During an intense morning exercise, she had multiple orgasms, wet the second bed, and then fainted again. I had to carry her to the third bed.

Li Shanze licked his lips subconsciously as he savored the passion of the morning.

"Ah, well, she might have returned to FBI headquarters, or she might be out investigating. She hasn't finished her investigation into Eternal Life Technology yet... I'll give her a call later and ask."

Xia Li was so attracted by Li Shanze's words that she didn't notice the strange expression that flashed across Li Shanze's face.

"Huh? Kate still wants to investigate the technology of immortality? Didn't Mr. McGee help us rescue Angel and Gray?" Charlie asked in surprise.

Li Shanze actually didn't know what Kate's next plan was. He just lied to deal with Charlie.

As a result, he had to use one lie to make up for another lie.

"Ahem, don't forget that this mess was originally caused by Eternal Life Technology. Virtual Saint Project Vivian v2.3 itself is a project of Eternal Life Technology Philadelphia."

"Just imagine, if it hadn't affected Senator Grey's daughter, Eternal Life Technology probably wouldn't have extended a helping hand!"

Li Shanze still didn't quite believe that McGee wanted to deal with the virtual saint Vivian.

In Li Shanze's opinion, this was most likely because McGee didn't want to offend Senator Hamilton so he had to take action.

But on the other hand, McGee didn't want to appear too weak towards mortals as a wizard.

That's why he found an excuse to fight against the virtual saint Vivian.

This is firstly to save face, and secondly to shift the blame - Senator, please be careful, this out-of-control virtual saint is also my enemy.

"What if the person involved is just an ordinary person? Wouldn't he be devoured mercilessly by the virtual Saint Vivian?"

"This is so dangerous, threatening the lives and safety of the general public. The FBI must seize this opportunity to conduct an in-depth investigation."

Xia Li looked at Li Shanze suspiciously: "Is the FBI such a just organization that would consider the safety of the people's lives?"

Li Shanze found that he had subconsciously mistaken the FBI for the people's police again - this was probably the worst time that the people's police had been slandered.

"Ahem, that's not important." Li Shanze could only cough awkwardly, "Let's get back to studying the wreckage of the Liberty Bell."

"Oh." Charlie nodded. "We don't need to rush to find Kate. The Liberty Bell is engraved with numerous inscriptions and complex magic circles. These all fall into the realm of witchcraft. I'll study them thoroughly first."

"Instead of doing things behind closed doors, I think it would be more convenient for us to cooperate with the FBI to capture McGee and let him confess directly?" Li Shanze had a new idea.

"Ah, isn't this bad?" Charlie hesitated. "Mr. McGee said he wanted to be my teacher... Do we really have to arrest him?"

Li Shanze was shocked. "Ah? When did he say that? Didn't those mechanical crows fly away the moment the virtual Saint Vivian's livestream crashed?"

"Um, Mr. McGee called yesterday and told me... Ange and Gray heard it too."

Li Shanze subconsciously felt that there might be a conspiracy here. He frowned and asked, "What did he say?"

"Well, Mr. McKee said I'm very talented, but I haven't received any systematic witchcraft education..."

"He said that my teacher didn't teach me witchcraft systematically in order to protect me. He respected my teacher, but it was a waste of my talent."

"So he asked me if I would be his student."

There was a hint of smug joy in Charlie's expression. It seemed like being praised for her talent made the witch very happy.

"What about you? How did you answer?" Li Shanze asked.

"Uh, I said, I'll wait for you to come back and make a decision." Xia Li's face was a little red. She put her hands behind her back and spoke in a mosquito-like voice.

Li Shanze took a deep breath.

It can be seen that Xia Li really wants to study witchcraft seriously and in depth, but she still leaves the decision to Li Shanze.

This also made Li Shanze feel the weight of responsibility for the first time since he traveled through time.

"Okay, I'll call Mr. McGee and have a good chat with him on the phone. Gray's phone should have a call-back function, right?"
