Chapter 11: Mephisto's Contract (Favorites, Recommendations)
"But I can feel the temperature of my body now, the beer is no longer disgusting, I feel great now, I haven't eaten for days, I'm hungry now, but overall I feel like a normal person. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Angela's voice was full of hope.
The feeling of being a vampire is like a walking corpse, except for the great improvement in physical fitness, eyesight, hearing and smell, the rest of the senses have become very dull, especially the taste alienation is particularly serious, and ordinary food cannot be eaten at all.
Not to mention the fact that the Scarlet Blood Fever was tormenting her all the time, so now Angela felt as if she had arrived in heaven.
"You take your hand out. Li Kang said.
An Jie stretched out her little hand, Li Kang picked up a dagger and made a cut in her hand, Angela quickly withdrew her hand in pain, but the wound was gone.
"You're still a vampire, but on the bright side, you don't have to drink that disgusting blood now, let's go, I'll take you to eat something really good. Li Kang put on a windbreaker, took out a talisman with three semicircles set together from the pocket of the windbreaker and threw it to Angela.
Angela put the amulet around her neck, and Li Kang restored the Holy Spirit Advent Circle and the defensive spells back to their original state.
That's the disadvantage of being a mage, you never know that your enemies will attack you from that direction, maybe from another dimension, so you have to be prepared for defensive spells at all times.
Li Kang walked farther than others, he tattooed defensive spells on his body, for example, on his two arms, tattooed with Solomon's Eye, and on his back was a reversal circle, this reversal circle is interesting, it will transfer half of the pain suffered in the day, to the last person who hurt Li Kang before midnight.
The deterrent effect of this magic circle is far stronger than the actual effect, but unfortunately the magic circle cannot be stacked, otherwise if he tattoos a few more reversal magic circles, no one will dare to touch him again.
On the corner of the street, it is Mrs. Jason's Wang Ji Chinese Restaurant, Mrs. Jason is a Jew, but her husband is a Chinese-American, the two have been classmates since elementary school, and they have been together until college, Mrs. Jason even fell out with the family for her husband, and the two opened a Chinese restaurant in a hell's kitchen place.
It's quite an inspirational story, it's just that the goddess of the year has become Mrs. Jason, who is now afraid of ghosts, and I have to say that it's a bit of a pity, Hell's Kitchen is really a magical place.
When I walked into the restaurant, I saw Mrs. Jason, who weighed at least 180 pounds, walking into the kitchen with a shotgun in one hand and a steak on her shoulder.
"Mrs. Jason, hello, your good tenant Li Kang, has brought you the rent, by the way, some beef offal, and onion soup, and two points of fried noodles, can you give us a mushu pork slic?" Li Kang's face was filled with a sunny smile, and he handed over the hot check he had just gotten today.
"No!" Mrs. Jason took the check and put it in her pocket and pointed at Angela, "you don't belong in Hell's Kitchen at first glance, I advise you to get out of here, this guy is not a good person." ”
Angela smiled slightly, "Thank you, but I'm not a good person, I'm not afraid." ”
"You should be afraid. Mrs. Jason stopped talking nonsense, turned and walked into the kitchen, and in a short time the hot meal was served.
Angela was hungry, skillfully rolled up the noodles with a fork, took a bite, the fried noodles tasted great, Angela ate a few more bites of offal and drank a bowl of soup.
"It's just some kind of meat, it's so delicious. Angela ate the offal, and the more she chewed, the more fragrant it became, and she couldn't stop it.
"Just eat it if it's delicious, don't care so much. Li Kang ate offal absentmindedly, "How the hell were you transformed into a vampire?"
Angela's hand stopped, her face became very ugly, and after taking a sip of water, she whispered her story.
It turns out that Angela is a top student of Harvard University, and the daughter of the Alba family, and she is very beautiful, and the suitors can go to Africa from the gate of Haval, but the family has long had its own arrangements for Angela's marriage, and they want to marry Angela to the real estate tycoon, Wilson Fisk's son, that is, the famous socialite Richard Fisk, and the outside world calls him Fisk Jr.
Little Fisk fell in love with Angela at first sight and desperately pursued him, but Angela couldn't like the person in front of him, especially after meeting Wilson Fisk, although Wilson was very friendly, Angela still had a very strong fear of him.
But Angela's father, for the sake of the family, forced Angela to marry little Fisk, so Angela chose to run away from home, everything was going well, but just a week ago night, she was attacked by a vampire called Marshall, and Marshall fed Angela to drink his own blood.
For the next three days, Angela hid in the rental house until the conversion was complete, and Marshall came to Angela, intending to turn Angela into a member of his family completely.
Unexpectedly, Angela was strong-willed, resisted Marshall's mind control, and escaped from Marshall's lair, and then Angela wandered around, really hungry and thirsty, and also attacked a passerby and two gangsters who wanted to trouble her, but did not kill anyone, which is already very valuable among newborn vampires.
"So, you have nowhere to go?" Li Kang said with an eyebrow.
"Well, I have nowhere to go now, and if it weren't for that weird medicine of yours, I think in the end, I'd either become a complete vampire or I'd be killed. Angela said this in embarrassment, she had been thinking about these things all these days, but she still felt uneasy.
"That's all trivial, what I want to say is, I lack a part-time assistant here, are you willing to help? The reward is blood wine, after drinking, you can live like a normal person, the tasks I perform are very dangerous, if I hire an ordinary person, I will have to die soon, but you will be fine, vampires have the same vitality as Xiaoqiang, you can think about it." Li Kang looked at Angela who pursed her lips and didn't speak, this is a big deal, and he also hopes that Angela can think about it clearly.
Angela's face darkened, "If I don't agree to your job offer, won't you provide that medicine called blood wine?" ”
Li Kang wiped his mouth and said angrily, "Of course not, it's just that this kind of blood wine is too precious, if you want it, you have to spend money." ”
"How much?" Angela has never been afraid of anyone mentioning this money in her life.
"A glass of 100,000 dollars, or even a number of cash. Li Kang also likes this kind of master who is not bad for money, and happily quoted his asking price.
Angela winced, she didn't have a lot of money with her when she ran away from home this time, "Let's talk about part-time jobs." ”
A glass of 100,000 dollars! It must also be cash, if it is more than 30 million dollars a year, this money is equivalent to Angela's pocket money for three years, even when she did not run away from home, it is not easy to scrape together this money.
In this way, if you work in Li Kang's detective agency, it is equivalent to an annual salary of more than 30 million, which is more than what Wall Street bankers earn.
"Well, you can sign this document. Li Kang took out a roll of parchment and handed it to Angela.
Angela was stunned when she saw the parchment roll, unfolded the parchment roll, and was stunned again, "It's actually still Chinese, fortunately I have learned, hey, why did it become English again?"
"This is a contract document, and it will automatically become a text that the contractor can understand, even if he is illiterate. Li Kang took out a pen and handed it to Angela.
This is not an ordinary parchment roll, this is a contract document specially used by Mephisto, the king of hell, to harvest souls, made of the skin of a sinner, it looks like a parchment roll, but it is actually made of human skin, which has a strong magical binding force, in order to get this good thing, Li Kang once sneaked into Mephisto hell, and almost lost his life.
"Wait, I'll take a look at the content Angela is worthy of being a law student at Harvard University, and has a natural keen sense of this kind of contract, and her intuition tells Angela that this document is not so simple.
"Hurry up, you've already been considered dead once anyway, what else can you lose?" Li Kang knocked on the corner of the table impatiently, "Mrs. Jason is an impatient, we occupy the table for too long, she will be unhappy, believe me, you don't want to see her angry." ”
"It's okay, girl! Look carefully, no matter what Li Kang gives you, you have to check it carefully, otherwise he will sell it, you don't know what's going on, we won't close until you understand the location, if you are sleepy, we will also provide free coffee." Mrs. Jason's loud voice came to mind behind the bar.
An old Chinese man's head poked out of the kitchen, "Is that Li Kang? Who is he trying to deceive?"
"Dear uncle, don't you make a mess, I'm just trying to hire an assistant, and I'm in your mind, the kind of bastard who has no reputation?" asked Li Kang, lighting a cigarette and baring his teeth.
