Chapter 35: The Mark of Doom
Tang Qi's special ability is temporarily named by him as the ability of "everything understands". It is possible to directly perceive the essence of beings in the transcendent realm, whether living beings or dead things, and to read the fragments of information attached to them.
The parchment contract in front of you is naturally among them.
If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have chosen to sign his name.
The trick to success in every deception lies in the asymmetry of information, and this time is no different.
[Strange Thing: Destiny Parchment Scroll.] 】
[Status: Not in effect.] 】
[Fragment 1: This is a special parchment scroll, which records a contract with almost the highest level of constraint, signed by both parties representing the power of doom and the power of the furnace, may they abide by the contract under the gaze of fate, otherwise both parties will suffer unimaginable punishment.] 】
[Information fragment 2: The way the contract takes effect, capturing the breath of the souls of both parties, once the soul threads converge and jointly depict the fate, the contract will take effect. 】
[Information fragment 3: Both parties have the right to alter the content before the contract takes effect. 】
This is what Tang Qi saw.
Those few fragments of information, the witch deputy personality also knew, but what she didn't know was that there was something wrong with Tang Qi's soul breath.
"Whew~"
In the parchment scroll, the two gray lines finally intersected, but strangely, they did not outline the "fate" together, and the gray line representing Tang Qi was rapidly dissipating, and this scene was like a lit explosive fuse being cut at the end.
So much so that the gray line representing the Witch of Doom also shrank back.
"What's ......?"
"Boom~"
Sally, who was about to return to the original state, the eyes that were about to fade quickly with the magic of bad luck changed again at this moment, the gray-black ink was about to be soaked back, and the terrifying tide of magic was about to burst out.
She realizes that she has been deceived, that the power of doom is raging and ominous, and that the restored fitting room seems to be about to be completely destroyed.
The witch's deputy personality wants to tear Tang Qi apart, and there will be no more room for him to turn around.
Unfortunately, the viper, which had been retracted into its container, would take a little longer than before to come out again, especially at the moment when the seal was about to be resealed.
Before the witch's sub-personality struggled successfully, Tang Qi took the black-rimmed glasses from Mrs. Hudson's hand first, and put them on Sally's nose while the other hand "boomed", and the last furnace power turned into a golden flame and wrapped his palm.
Tang Qi was under the gaze of the witch's sub-personality, and suddenly put his palm on the parchment roll.
In the blank space below, two gray lines start again.
Under Tang Qi's eyes, new information fragments jumped out.
The soul message is invalid!
Recapture!
Capture complete!
Destiny is being drawn!
The contract is coming into effect!
......
When this information flowed past, Tang Qi's palm was like a "golden eraser", violently covering the area of his obligation, and then with a fierce force, the words outlined by the magic of doom touched the power of the furnace, and the scene of the past reappeared.
In an instant, the lines of small words dissipated without a trace.
On top of the parchment, only those two short lines remained.
Below, the two gray lines clearly outlined a sign that Tang Qi couldn't see at all.
The parchment immediately burned, and with a single breath, it turned into two gray rays, one directly into Tang Qi's palm, and the other into Sally's body.
"No~"
"Boom~"
Sally let out a sharp howl, a terrifying, unprecedented magic about to explode, until a white finger pushed the exaggerated black-rimmed glasses up, completely obscuring the ink-soaked eyes.
Call!
Everything, calm restored.
"It's like a Pandora's box, and it feels pretty good. ”
Tang Qi withdrew his palm, looked at the fading contract sign, and said silently in his heart.
The moment the glasses were put back on, those ominous, full of malicious aura, disappeared without a trace, and Sally's charming and mysterious eyes returned to the previous smart shyness, still the feeling of a fawn.
Mrs. Hudson recovered, and with some dissatisfaction accused Donkey of getting her glasses back.
thinks that this little boy who does not understand the amorous style has no taste for fashion. Or simply stingy, unwilling to let his little girlfriend show such a beautiful appearance in front of the public, maybe he wants to hide it and enjoy it himself.
The latter reason made Sally blush, and she had to help Donkey explain to Mrs. Hudson: "Mrs. Hudson, the glasses are a relic of my father, and his last wish is that I must wear them until I reach adulthood, and then a distant aunt will come and give me a coming-of-age ceremony, and then I can take them off." ”
The words of explanation were a little more, which made Mrs. Hudson smile ambiguously.
Of course, the old man could hear that the little girl was also explaining to her "sweetheart" that after the coming-of-age ceremony, she would be able to present him with the most beautiful version of herself.
Tang Qi, who is extremely sensitive to human emotions, naturally understands everything, and has no desire to explain Mrs. Hudson's misunderstanding, and the girl's mind is classified by him as gratitude and shyness to his only best friend.
At this time, his attention was attracted by the "distant aunt".
Obviously, my father's last wish was real.
But the so-called distant aunt must be the gypsy witch leader who helped Sally seal the magic of doom in the first place.
"No one will help someone for no reason, unless she is profitable. ”
"Sally who helped the baby seal her magic, and when she becomes an adult, she may be able to harvest a witch with terrifying magic?"
"It's a good investment, and there's no qualifying person to say no. ”
"Unfortunately, the investment has changed. ”
Tang Qi said in his heart, and at the same time couldn't help but think about whether he made a profit or a loss this time.
Originally, he just wanted to use Sally's "bad luck" to increase his chances of encountering weirdness, just like the witch's deputy personality said, to add fuel and make his strength grow rapidly.
It's just that I didn't expect to encounter the doom magic in the body of the origin blue star.
This experience is probably like trying to catch a small fish, and you end up catching a prehistoric whale.
Fortunately, bad luck favored the other party, but Tang Qi turned the tables again with the help of special abilities.
"Now, the harvest has come. ”
When Tang Qi was silently thinking in his heart, his slightly lowered eyes reflected the strange changes that suddenly appeared between himself and Sally.
Wisps of gray-black viscous magic spilled out of Sally's body with difficulty, as if their source was very reluctant, but they were forced by some force majeure to hand it over, and they climbed onto Tang Qi's body little by little.
Finally, all converged on the back of Tang Qi's left hand, and slowly sketched out a special imprint symbol: a pair of gray-black curved antlers against a blood-red background.
The ability is activated, and the interface jumps out.
[Strange Thing: Mark of Doom.] 】
[Status: Complete.] 】
[Information fragment 1: It is the mark of the exotic god Doom Witch, and the person who owns it means that he has been favored by the witch, and the transcendent creatures in the same camp as the witch will unconditionally have a basic favor for the owner of the mark. 】
[Information fragment 2: Activate it to attract extraordinary creatures within a certain range that belong to the ominous, negative, and evil camps.] 】
[Information fragment three: It may cause some bad luck to happen to the owner of the mark, and of course it may also be more lucky, no one can guess the power of fate. 】
"It's nice to not have to pay any price and still get the benefits. ”
Tang Qi stared at the mark on the back of his hand, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he said happily.
