Chapter 31: The Gate of the Grotesque (+1 for Monthly Pass)

What are your tasks?"

Tang Qi asked directly after the mysterious merchant had finished saying all his options.

Quickly weigh the gains and losses, and the most suitable choice for him at the moment is indeed this.

The mysterious merchant still didn't have any emotional ups and downs when he heard this, and under his purple robe, a finger that ordinary humans would have, knocked on the white and faint table, but saw the ghostly light explode, and a large number of images immediately appeared around Tang Qi, none of which were repeated, and each one represented a certain event.

The merchant grabbed an image of a planet heavily armed, with terrifying mechanical weapons covering the starry sky, as if waiting for a war.

"This planet is called Kao, and not long ago, the Kao people collectively made a deal with us, willing to exchange the Kao star for a tech pack to deal with the attack of a wandering beast, and in the end they successfully repelled the beast and made the Kao race jump to the middle ...... Then they decided to pay the bill and help us recover Kao, even if it was a mission. โ€

As the words fell, the merchant threw the image away and grabbed another one.

This time, a "divine creature" appeared inside that was frantically fleeing, and it looked like a tentacled meatball, wriggling and swimming into the infinite and mysterious depths.

Although it was far away, just by looking at the places it passed, the races and civilizations that were destroyed by it knew that this was a powerful creature that was very close to the true god.

"It is a divine creature that has failed to ascend to the gods, and because it has tried to take control of part of its 'devouring' power, it has provoked several gods of the same divine path, and in order to avoid its fall, it has purchased the services of refuge from us, on the condition that it will serve us for a hundred thousand years...... But it chose to flee after surviving the crisis. โ€

"It's also a task to get it back. โ€

......

When the merchant explained the two examples, Tang Qi also swept through most of the images at a glance.

Most of the scenes presented are similar to those two tasks.

I sighed in my heart that there were many "brave men" in the infinite mystery, and that debt repayment seemed to be a common characteristic of many living beings.

From gods to ordinary otherworldly beings, once they survive the crisis, there is a chance that they will choose to break the trade contract.

If it was another organization, maybe forget it.

But since the object of the transaction is "everything can be sold", why do you still think that you can escape?

Although it was only the first time to enter here, Tang Qi had already felt the power of this mysterious organization in his short contact.

Even Tang Qi himself, if he made some kind of deal with them, he was not sure that he would be safe after breaking the contract, Tang Qi had not yet conflicted with them, but it was a strong intuition, everything can be sold very powerful.

After confirming that these tasks were not very difficult and not beyond his ability, Tang Qi made his choice.

"Dear guest, I welcome you on behalf of 'Everything for Sale', and I will be your exclusive customer service in the future, you can call me 'Marquez the Ancient'. โ€

There was finally a hint of emotion in the merchant's voice, and the white palm stretched out from under the robe.

At the same time, she also reveals her face, a human female face that is perfect to the extreme.

But it's too perfect, even if she is very real, Tang Qi can still see that this "customer service" will definitely not be human, let alone a federal woman.

"Guest, if you don't like the image, I can continue to change. โ€

As he spoke, the merchant took on another form.

Tang Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake it, and then on the back of his hand, a new "symbol" slowly emerged.

It was an abstract mysterious black rune that I had seen in the "Gate of the Box" before.

Without waiting for Tang Qi to complain that he couldn't let go of the back of his hand, the ancient man Marquez, who had successfully invited a new member, began to get busy.

She summoned the contract casually and prepared to guide Tang Qi to sign it.

"Bang"

The white and gloomy table, as if it had been hit by a boulder, made a muffled sound.

In fact, what fell was a half-human-high "thick-shell book", and the fragrance of fresh and extraordinary ink permeated the air.

"Is this a trade contract?"

Tang Qi looked at the fragments of the past flowing in his mind and said in surprise.

In front of him, the merchant who had transformed into the perfect woman of the Federation stood up and smiled very politely, not showing that she was an "ancient powerhouse" who could avoid most of the attacks of all spirits, she nodded, without the slightest embarrassment, and responded:

"Dear guests, we ask for your understanding. โ€

"If it's another guest, the trade contract is another, but you're different. โ€

"This is our exclusive contract for you, and we believe that it guarantees absolute fairness...... In return for the differential treatment, we promise that if you can find a loophole in this contract to deceive us, we will give you a gift that will be of great help to you. โ€

โ€œ......โ€

Tang Qi, who was originally ready to complete the transaction and obtain the secret knowledge of the imprisoned ancient gods, was a little stunned by this sudden strange unfolding.

He first felt "discrimination", even though he knew it was a sequelae of one of his titles, "God Deception".

But Tang Qi still felt that he was discriminated against, and he looked back carefully, although he deceived some contract partners, but every time the other party had malicious intentions.

If the object of the contract was bona fide, Tang Qi hardly used any means.

Tang Qi, who was thinking about arguing, suddenly stopped when the words came to his lips, because the merchant casually summoned the so-called "gift" again.

It was a hazy light and shadow, as if there was a thick liquid inside, enveloping the real gift, and Tang Qi couldn't fully perceive it.

But he immediately realized that the gift should be a kind of "divine authority", and it was an authority that would have a great effect on him today.

"It's an insult...... Challenge!"

Tang Qi changed his tune in time, but most of his attention obviously wouldn't be on the unfinished gift or the study of the contract.

These, occasionally, can be used as a concoction.

But it was not enough for Tang Qi to leave the really important event behind, he looked at the merchant and said casually: "Since I can take credit, can you give me the information in advance." โ€

"As for conducting research contract challenges, I can let my subordinates do it for me first. โ€

"No problem, distinguished guest. โ€

The mysterious merchant seemed to be very good at talking to Tang Qi, and easily agreed to Tang Qi's request.

Of course, it may also be that "everything can be sold" is not worried that Tang Qi dares to rob the intelligence at all, and they have the strength to deal with all conflicts.

In the next second, in Tang Qi's somewhat surprised gaze, the merchant called "Ancient Man Marquez" directly pinched out another "thick-shelled book" from the air, about the thickness of an adult's head, whether from the paper or the shell, it seemed as if it had just been taken out of the pool of blood, and terror and stench filled the air.

The surface of the thick-shelled book was still wrapped around the pitch-black chains, and an incomparably strong aura of divinity gushed out.

Tang Qi had no doubt that as long as this book was casually thrown into a certain planet, it would be enough to cause a world-destroying catastrophe, which was a "divine object" that confused the evil camp.

But it was pinched by the ancient Mรกrquez, but it failed to make any difference to her.

Tang Qi looked over, and the symbols on the surface of the book seemed to come to life, they squirmed, entangled, and gradually condensed into an incomparably hideous, painfully completely distorted face, it let out an incomparably sharp howl, a cruel laugh, trying to break free from the chains, trying to rush towards Tang Qi.

Tang Qi's face did not change at all, he first summoned the Beckfast Chair, threw the half-human-high "Trade Contract" to Farke, and ordered it to read it.

Then, Tang Qicai stared at the terrifying thick-shell book seriously.

A rich red light explodes in my mind.

[Divine entity: The Book of Knosaus.] ใ€‘

[Status: Sealed.] ใ€‘

[Information fragment 1: This is a sacred book that is highly related to the town of the Grotesque and the crazy ancient god "Knosaus", which contains most of the information about Knosace, including his full physical name, his origin, the disasters he caused, and the reason why he fell into his person...... And so on. ใ€‘

[Information fragment 2: It is both a key and a surveillance. It can open the "Door of the Grotesque", imprisoned in the depths of the otherworld inside the door, it can monitor the status of Knosas in real time, and it can also communicate with Knosas for a short time, provided that you can resist pollution. ใ€‘

[Fragment of Information 3: Read it, you must go through a judgment every ten seconds, and if you don't pass, you will become a servant of Knosaus.] ใ€‘

[Information fragment 4: Every time you pass a judgment, you have a chance to obtain relevant magic or magic skills, or some secret knowledge. ใ€‘

......

When Tang Qi read this information, the Ancient Mรกrquez handed it over directly.

At the same time, she gave some additional explanations.

"Guest, all the information you want is in this book, and if you want to meet Knosaus, you can also use it as a key to enter the forced narrative realm [I Will Return After All] anywhere in the town of the Grotesque, and a door to the grotesque will appear in the story. โ€

"Open the door and you'll be able to meet the imprisoned Knosaus, and what happens next is none of our business......"

Tang Qi listened to the words of the ancient man Marquez, and without hesitation, he directly reached out and took the book full of divine pollution.

The moment he started, hundreds of millions of howls and sneers completely erupted in this second as if they had been suppressed for a long time.

Donch's mind is bombarded, and endless negative emotions come in, trying to torment him, ravage him, and enslave him.

In my mind, the corresponding fragments flowed past.

"Undergoing the judgment of the divine entity [Book of Knosaus]...... Verdict passed!"

"The contamination has been exempted, and the next time it will be judged in ten seconds. โ€

Tang Qi ignored this information, and ignored the hideous face of the evil god on the cover of the hard shell, who was bound by chains and still wanted to bite his palm, and turned the first page directly.

Terrifying but new secret knowledge that he had not touched before, began to pour in.

ps: One hundred plus more monthly passes, everyone continues to vote, it's too little now, sigh.
