Chapter 1399 Transaction (2)
I was about to strike harshly, but when I grabbed the devil's hands, my right hand suddenly let go uncontrollably.
The struggling demon stopped and looked at my hand in surprise.
I didn't even know what was going on.
The hand seemed to have a mind of its own and began to act.
My hand pulled out the quill from the demon's hand in a position that I found very awkward.
After taking it into my hand, my fingers moved for a while, from holding the pen to holding the entire pen. The feathers on the pen were all pinched and messy.
The arm was raised high and dropped quickly. Both the devil and I were stunned and had no time to react.
The tip of the pen was inserted into the demon's arm. The demon groaned and saw an extra line of red appearing in the barrel of the quill.
The hand was raised again, twisted and stretched, and began to write on the notebook held by the devil in a posture that made me think my shoulder was about to be dislocated.
My heartbeat sped up by two minutes, and now I understood what was happening.
I've experienced something similar. At that time, it was to burn the cherry blossom kimono wrapped around Chen Xiaoqiu. The kimono was burned to ashes, but the female ghost parasitic on the kimono was not expelled. When she was about to run away, my hand grabbed her uncontrollably, leaving her stunned. After this, I experienced the same thing.
Those things all happened in the office. Moreover, after I gained the ability, I never encountered this kind of thing again.
Ye Qing...manipulated a part of my body to do things again.
I feel relaxed.
Because Ye Qing's actions proved that he was around. He is stronger than me and knows more than me. It's better for him to deal with the devil than for me to do it alone. Ye Qing would take action, which meant that he already had a solution.
I looked at my hand holding the quill and writing in the margins of the book.
The date is written on it. It’s not the day I entered the dreamland, but April 30, 2021. This date was definitely not fabricated by Ye Qing. Ye Qing knew what time it was.
My mood suddenly became a little complicated.
The quill has continued writing smoothly.
The content of the transaction is not a single name, but "unconditional killing of spirits related to shared bicycles, no termination time, no compensation, and immediate execution."
Such a condition means that the devil will always work for me in vain!
I glanced at the devil's face.
There is no clue from its skin color, but its facial features are distorted. It knew what Ye Qing wrote in his notebook.
So, as long as the words are written in this book, the devil must execute it?
Is there still such a common impression among people on demons?
I thought of the Contract with the Devil of Kaziana.
"Signing a contract with the devil" and "making a deal with the devil" should be part of the consensus, but I really can't imagine how this impression would manifest itself.
It’s impossible for everyone to have the impression that the devil carries an “account book”, right?
I frowned.
Ye Qing has already finished writing the contents of the transaction, and the next step is to sign.
Since it is "unconditional" and "regardless of remuneration", it should be...
Before I could finish this thought, I saw Ye Qing's pen stroke, and a dragon-fei-fengwu signature was written on the last column.
When I saw him write the first stroke, I felt something was wrong.
After one horizontal stroke, then another vertical stroke, after writing two strokes, a narrow and thin character "ten" fell on the paper.
Before I could say anything to stop him, two more strokes and a few strokes completed the word "Lynch".
My expression now probably looks like that of a demon.
I also have more changes in my face than the devil, but I can't see whether my face is blue or black.
Ye Qing actually signed my name!
As soon as he finished signing, I felt bad all over.
There seems to be a little more in my soul.
I can't say it myself, it was like striking a match, feeling a little warmth on my skin, and then the match went out.
"This signature..." the devil spoke, surprised, but also filled with suppressed anger.
I responded in silence, really not knowing how to end it.
I am not the one who wrote this. The devil must know this too.
But Ye Qing just did this. The rules that the devil needs to abide by seem to agree with his approach and put this deal on my head.
I read the words "unconditional" and "regardless of remuneration" in the transaction several times, but I still felt uneasy.
Is there any loophole in this? If there is a loophole and the devil takes advantage of it, I will be the one who dies!
Ye Qing shook his hand and the quill was thrown to the ground. I also felt this arm of mine again. I moved my shoulders and clenched my fists, feeling a little angry and more puzzled.
The devil snorted, and when he closed his fingers, the notebook closed with a bang. The thick pages faced me, and the wind blew against my face.
The paper has obvious signs of newness and oldness. It is clear whether it has been used or not.
"Can you let go now?" the devil said dissatisfied.
"Is this all right?" I blurted out, but I wasn't asking the devil.
I originally believed in Ye Qing. As long as he doesn't lose control and makes a rational decision, there will definitely be no problem. But that signature stuck with me.
The devil misunderstood my meaning and sneered, "The black and white words on the paper were written down, and my own blood was used. What else do you have to worry about? You want to put a seal on me like those wizards dealt with the ancient demons." ?"
The content of this conversation was too magical.
I only had abilities and no knowledge of magic, so I could only stare at the demon, not daring to reveal my suspicion towards Ye Qing.
The devil said in disgust: "Let go and get out of here. I will kill that spirit."
I didn't wait for Ye Qing's response. After thinking about it, I let go.
The moment I let go, I felt myself falling straight down.
The red courtyard disappeared from my eyes.
I opened my eyes and found myself in my bedroom, and the dream ended just like that.
My mood is not light.
While changing clothes, I called Wu Ling and told him the contents of the dream.
Wu Ling was surprised after hearing this.
"...You mean, that devil has a book that records the names of these traders?" Wu Ling only asked me this detail.
I said yes repeatedly.
"In this case... the great wizard in the West was really successful..." Wu Ling seemed to be muttering to himself.
"What?" I asked.
Wu Ling explained: "Just like the spells and talismans we use against ghosts, Western wizards and exorcists will also create some methods that can be passed down for many years to deal with supernatural phenomena. The Wu family wants to create a system that they can control There was once a great wizard in the West who wanted to control demons. He collected the names of all the demons at that time, recorded them in a book, and collected the blood of those demons and the feathers of angels through certain rituals. He used angel feathers and the devil's blood to write orders in the book, and the devil had to carry out this story. Not many people today have heard of it. At that time, the great wizard was not very famous. He was killed by the demon. The quill, notebook, and demon blood were all said to be lost. For many years, there were rumors that someone accidentally obtained his relics and manipulated the demon to commit crimes. Rise up, wizards and witches were slaughtered, exorcists began to exterminate those supernatural phenomena, and carried out a great cleansing throughout the Western Continent.”
Wu Ling paused after saying this, "That legend should be true. But in the West, not many people mention this legend. They don't care much about demons anymore. This can only show that, The consciousness of the great wizard at that time has continued to this day. Some of the power may have been lost, so the image of the devil was fixed into what you see."
Although it is only the consciousness of a few people, or even the consciousness of a person who has been dead for hundreds of years before his death, the obsession of professionals in the paranormal circle is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Those spells can still be used after hundreds or thousands of years. Correspondingly, the spirits associated with it will also be affected by the consciousness of those people.
"In this case..." An idea suddenly came to my mind.
Wu Ling took the first step and said, "It's useless."
I was stunned.
"To be able to produce this kind of effect, the right time, the right place, and the right people are all indispensable. Now no one can do what those predecessors could do back then. No one has that kind of ambition, and no one has such obsession. At that level, no one can create a deed that will be remembered by his colleagues," Wu Ling said calmly, "Since the emergence of capable people like you, the power of the supernatural circle has been dispersed. This is God's decision. . When most ordinary people no longer believe in the supernatural, this circle has completely declined. What the Wu family could not do back then, no one can do it today, even within the supernatural circle. When they are in conflict with each other, it is very rare that they can work together to deal with the current crisis."
Wu Ling seemed to have thought about this matter for a long time. Perhaps, people in the entire paranormal circle have thought about it.
They eventually gave up. It’s like they gave up revealing the truth and gathered the power of ordinary people to create a spirit to deal with this crisis. The latter method is not feasible, nor is it feasible for them to create such a spirit by themselves. In fact, they cannot even use their own inherent concepts to change their existing spirit.
I'm a little sad.
This is probably what Wu Ling calls "timing time". The timing is terrible now for the paranormal community. The rapid deterioration of the world may be related to this point and influence each other. This is the general trend.
Ye Qing would choose to put all his bets on me, maybe he saw this.
There are only two updates today. _(:3 ∠)_
Good night everyone~
