"Great. In the meantime, your friend can live here. There are many empty houses. Stay as long as you want," the old man replied

"Exactly. Select any house you want."

"Thank you. I'll show them their room." Lucifer took Dallas and others who were slightly surprised. They didn't understand why these old people were so friendly with Lucifer. 

They had thought that he might have secured the land or kept the people in the town hostage to keep information from leaving. However, it was nothing like that. Instead, these people seemed happy with their presence. 

The group of old people left, going back in houses to give Lucifer time with his friends. 

"They are the people of the town. Since I've been here for a few days, I've told them some lies." Lucifer gestured for the men to follow him. 

He further added. "According to them, we are travelers from distant cities who like peaceful places like this. So stay with the script and don't make a mess. I don't want to have to kill the people of this town."

He stopped before a house. 

"This is the house where you'll stay. I'm sure you can adjust yourself here until the others arrive. Then we can start the mission."

Dallas agreed. Opening the doors, he stepped inside the house to observe it. The others also stepped inside. 

"Tell them other things as well. Now that they're here, it should be fine." After commanding Salazar, Lucifer left. 

He left all the responsibility to Salazar to handle the place. Instead, he went back inside the place where he was staying. 

He opened the door and stepped inside. Inside the house, he could see two coffins lying in the distance. One was the coffin of Jenilia, while the other was the coffin of Eve. 

He walked closer to the coffin of Eve. 

He picked up the coffin of Eve and left the house. 

Taking the coffin with him, he left the place. Until now, he had been waiting for other team members to arrive in town before leaving to do what he wanted. He didn't want to leave Salazar alone to take care of everything. 

Now that the others were here, he didn't need to worry about anything. 

He carried the coffin and flew a long distance to get to a completely barren place that was far from any human establishment. 

He placed the coffin on the barren land before opening it. 

"Alright, lady. Time to see what you actually are. Let's jump-start your heart."

According to the lady at the academy, the only option of helping her was to use electric shock, and even that didn't have a high chance of success. 

Moreover, there was a chance that the same energy wave was going to attack the surroundings if he even tried it. That's why he brought the coffin so far to not affect the others. 

He didn't want Salazar to end up in the same condition as before. They didn't even have a facility to heal him nearby. 

Moreover, he didn't want to absorb the strength of the lady since he didn't even know who she was. He believed a person this special could be more useful alive than dead, especially after her link with his past self. 

"Alright, lady. It's time for you to wake up and tell me who the heck you are. Don't disappoint me now."

He inserted his hand inside the clothes of the girl to have his hand land on her left breast to have direct contact with her so he could use his shock more effectively without harming her. 

The only thing between the two was his gloves. He wanted to remove even his gloves so he could touch her directly, but that could have killed the girl because of decay, so he didn't. 

As his hand landed on her chest, he could feel something soft. 

"Three..."

"Two..."

"One..."

After the count of three, he released a light electric shock with precise control to control the damaging factor of his lightning.

The lightning reached the heart of the lady; however, nothing happened. 

Lucifer increased the intensity and tried again, but the same thing happened even now. She didn't wake up. Her heart didn't beat. 

"A failed endeavor?" he muttered, frowning. "One last try."

This time, he used even more of his lightning—a current spread through the body of the lady, mainly targeting her heart. 

"It didn't work even now. Should I try with full strength? But that will leave a hole in her heart."

"No. I should leave her be. I'll have someone else have a look at her to see if we can wake her up."

He was about to pull his hand out of her clothes when he felt something. He could feel the heartbeat. The heart of the girl had actually started working. Her chest started moving up and down as she started breathing. 

"It worked?" In his surprise, he even forgot to take out his hand from her clothes and simply looked at the face of Eve, surprised. 

She was actually breathing. Her face was gaining even more colors, and her eyelids flickered. 

Eve soon opened her eyes, revealing her beautiful violet eyes that were filled with innocence. She looked towards Lucifer, lowering her head. 

She noticed his hand on her left breast. 

"Ah Lucifer, can you take out your hand? That's a place you shouldn't..." 

"Right." Lucifer pulled out his hand. He stood up, stepping back. "It's good to see you up. Now you can tell me who you are. And how do you know me?"

"How do I know you?" Eve asked, smiling. "Who would know you more than me? I've been watching you all this while... I watched your every action from your birth to now." 

She also stood up and stepped out of the coffin. 

"So my meeting with you... That actually happened? You were there when I died?" Lucifer asked. 

"I wasn't there. But I saw everything..." Eve replied. 

"Why should I trust you?" Lucifer asked. "It could also be possible that you are a Variant who can read memories and manipulate them. Why should I believe that you didn't mess with my memories only recently?"

"In my dream eight years ago, you looked the same as you did now. That can only mean you planted it now," he added. 

"Well, that's a good question as well." Eve smiled. 

"And I expect a good answer as well. If I don't, I'll send you to a worse place than you were in before," Lucifer remained the lady grimly. 

He didn't want to believe her so easily and fall for her tricks.
