239, Faust
Mephistopheles, Mephistopheles for short. The name of the devil and demon in Faust.
Although this name is indeed in line with the devil's usual style, he does not want to accept it.
Whether it is No. 1 or No. 1, or even the nicknames given to him by others, the devil has never regarded them as names.
Because the devil does not need a name.
If he wants, he can give himself a name for such a long time.
But why does he need a name?
The name is a kind of bondage to him. Acknowledging that he has a name is like having a certain connection with this world, like forgetting the scars burned by the flames on the altar, and forgetting the past buried behind the broken copies. It will also make him have weaknesses.
The devil does not need, nor does he disdain to have a name.
The devil paused, smiling: "If you want to call me by this name, then it can certainly become a name that belongs to you alone, my magician."
But if it is a magician, it is another matter.
This is the indulgence of the devil alone.
Unfortunately, the magician who has lost his memory now seems to be unaware of the meaning behind this sentence.
That's right, Zong Jiu not only doesn't know, but is even wondering why this devil pointed out his identity so accurately.
Could it be that creatures from hell would also gather in front of the TV to watch magic?
The man looked down at the white-haired young man in front of him who did not hide his vigilance.
According to the friendship background provided by the main system, it is still the time node when the magician just experienced a car accident and his hands were injured. In other words, the magician at this moment is still the high-spirited and world-renowned great magician. After just experiencing the dramatic change of life in the car accident, he still has hope in his heart that his hands can be restored, and he can even entertain himself, so as not to fall into the abyss of gloom and despair.
The magician who entered the horror trainee competition had been disabled for several years, had undergone countless operations, and had experienced countless times of wandering on the edge of hope and despair, and even the warmth and coldness of human nature. In the end, he completely walked into the darkness, lost interest in this world, and reached the extreme of rationality and madness, relying only on the critical point of chains.
Compared with the always cold and calm magician he had always known, the magician in front of him seemed much more immature and immature.
Memory is the root of a person. If you lose the memory of an important period, it will indeed cause a big change in your personality.
But this does not seem to be a simple sealed memory.
The main system distorted the time in the magician's memory, allowing him to return to a younger personality. Just like when the devil was suppressed to the little devil personality by the Judgment Day copy, the difference is that the little devil has the memory of the big devil, but only the personality that belongs to the little devil. The magician reversed time, sealed the memory, and returned to a specific time node. He had never experienced the pain of seeking medical help from famous doctors, and his face was still full of vigor.
The devil immediately figured out the key to the matter.
The main task of the magician should be to retrieve the lost memory and time.
Suffering is also a necessary lesson in life. Only by experiencing it can you understand it.
The magician has shared the devil's past, and now it's the devil's turn to share the magician's past. This is reasonable.
The devil likes it very much and is very happy to get involved in the magician's past. Well... Then taste this little magician who looks very delicious.
Perhaps the look of this devil who looks unremarkable is too explicit, so explicit that Zong Jiu feels that he will be torn apart and eaten in the next second, so he broke the silence first.
"In this case, Mephistopheles, can you fulfill my wish?"
Zong Jiu emphasized the pronunciation of the name "Mephistopheles", and tied up his thorns as if he had caught some life-saving spell as a warning.
This is a devil from hell, and no human has a chance of winning against him.
Countless literary works have recorded the devil's cunning and insidiousness. Undoubtedly, trading with them can get things that humans can't even think of, perhaps wealth, or perhaps other things. But this is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
Like Faust in "Faust", didn't he choose to betray the devil in the end, tear up the agreement to sell his soul to the devil after death, and turn to the arms of God.
Facing such a powerful existence, it is normal to be vigilant. Since the parchment said that the devil's real name is very useful, then Zong Jiu must let the other party know his subtext.
...Although all this is really ridiculous.
From a firm materialist magician to a magician who successfully summoned the devil of hell, Zong Jiu felt that he needed to calm down.
"Of course, little magician. If it's just to restore your hands for you, I'm happy to do it for you."
The devil glanced at the thick plaster and bandages on the hands of the white-haired young man and was immediately happy.
The main system simply and roughly reversed the time in the magician's memory, but in fact the time of this body did not change, even the length of the silver-white hair was the same as when the devil played with it not long ago.
In other words, the magician's hand was fine.
Just knock off the plaster and remove the bandage, and you will still be alive and kicking, even better than before. Because these hands have long been strengthened to the top level in the main system.
But will the devil say?
He looked at the white-haired young man with a sullen face and was obviously nervous, and raised the corners of his mouth maliciously.
"However, it is possible, but...my dear contractor, there is a price to pay for summoning the devil. Are you ready?"
"What price?"
Zongjiu was very nervous.
He knew this was his only chance.
If the devil can't restore his hand, then there's no need for him to go to any doctor or go to any other side.
But he didn't want the cunning devil in front of him to discover his desire.
It is very dangerous to completely expose one's needs, so Zong Jiu stood there like this, with the determination that if the devil wanted to play a trick, he would immediately read his real name and send the other person back to hell.
The devil cleared his throat, "Well, let's confirm the contents of the contract first."
Zong Jiu followed his words and wanted to pick up the parchment, but unexpectedly the man suddenly took two steps closer and came to his side very calmly.
Zongjiu, who always hated close contact with strangers, didn't have the reflex to push him away immediately.
Why does this devil not have the sulfur smell mentioned on the parchment?
As he was thinking this, someone suddenly took away the contract from his hand.
"Let me see...oh, it turns out to be this contract."
The devil started his performance, smiling with evil intentions: "This is the contract issued by our hell five centuries ago. Since we failed to snatch Faust's soul from God, , Now the contract we have re-written is much more stringent, and many regulations are different from the above.”
Zongjiu: "..."
The contract signed by summoning the devil is like signing a contract with the devil. Because there were flaws in the contract in the past, it is natural for it to be stricter now. It makes sense and is not unreasonable at all.
The white-haired magician's eyes gradually darkened, and he said in a casual tone: "Then what do you want? Money, fame, status, or...soul?"
Money, Zongjiu has a lot of money.
As a great magician, he has insured his hands with high amounts of commercial insurance. Whether it is his previous savings or insurance compensation, he can live without worries for a lifetime. As for reputation and status, if the devil from hell wants to develop in reality, it is not impossible for these Zongjiu to share their connections with him.
But if it’s a soul——
In "Faust", the transaction between Mephistopheles and Faust is the soul.
Not even talking about these literary works, in all the myths and legends around the world, the devil seems to be naturally interested only in the beautiful human souls. This is the case with traditional magic. The devil helps humans fulfill their wishes, and humans dedicate their souls to the devil after death. This has always been the case.
But is it worth it to trade your soul for your own hands?
Zongjiu agreed without any hesitation.
For him, excitement and fun are far more important than these.
What's more... I don't know why, but Zongjiu is very confident in himself.
Confidence refers to the confidence of temporarily betraying someone, breaking a contract, and secretly plotting against the devil.
This premonition is strange. Just like when he just woke up, he felt as if he had forgotten something very important. He inexplicably felt that the six-pointed star stone was very important, including the fact that when he first saw the face of the unknown hell devil, he subconsciously wanted to punch him. The urge to punch him.
"Soul? No, no, no, I don't need that kind of thing."
The demon licked his lips, and his dark golden pupils shone with an obscure light that Zong Jiu couldn't understand.
"I need you to give me something else, something I've never had."
Something the devil never had?
Zong Jiu asked in confusion: "What is it?"
The man kept it secret, "You'll know when the time comes."
This is his main mission. But what exactly it is, the devil himself doesn’t know.
Because the devil has many, many things and never lacks anything, let alone desperately wants something.
What does he want to gain?
"Don't talk about this now, my dear magician, come and sign the contract quickly."
With a swipe of his pen, the devil signed the name he had just obtained, which belonged to the magician alone.
Zongjiu hesitated for a moment and also wrote his name on the parchment.
"alright."
The devil casually snapped his fingers, and those ubiquitous shadows climbed up, engulfing the parchment bit by bit like invisible black fire.
The young magician in front of him is easier to fool than the future magician. The devil must seize this opportunity, at least he must have fun.
"Now that the contract has been signed, I should ask for some reward first, don't you think?"
The man lowered his head with a smile, and his fingertips crossed the white-haired young man's lips suggestively, and the darkness in his pupils became darker.
"Being summoned from hell to the human world, I spent a lot of magic power. My dear contractor, since I want to fulfill your wish, shouldn't you be merciful and show mercy to this poor devil? , add fresh magic power to him?"
The author has something to say: The explanation of the reasons for Chiu Chiu’s personality change is all explained in this chapter. If you can’t understand, you can refer to Doctor Strange. Doctor Strange also had two personalities before and after the accident with his hands. This kind of irresistible suffering in life It will completely change a person's personality. The Jiujiu in this dungeon's timeline has not yet reached a dead end. It is equivalent to going back directly to before the time travel, and there is no memory of growing up in the entire thriller trainee dungeon, so there is definitely a difference.
By the way, they are sharing each other’s past~
Jiujiu has witnessed the devil's darkest, secret and unknown past, and now it's the devil's turn.
