Chapter 8: The Psychological Battle
In this quiet suburb, there were two men in a car, "making out" and sticking together, and this was the tense moment when my life was at stake.
I looked at Rudolph for a moment, and suddenly I couldn't beat his spiky eyes, I closed my eyes, and my neck was as cold as cold, Rudolph said with further urgency: "Answer me quickly!" ”
My eyes opened, and I said unhurriedly: "If you want to kill me, it's easy to kill me, you wanted me to die, I can't even get out of the United States, I will die on the streets, since you are saying that we have to cooperate, but with such an attitude, how can I tell you the truth?" ”
Rudolph was stunned by my sharp words, and he looked at me again carefully, as if he wanted to get to know me again, and his trademark smirk resurfaced: "Okay, it's a man, I didn't expect you to be so bold at such a young age, even if you didn't find it just now, let's talk again." ”
Rudolf Schran withdrew his deadly hand and left my fatal place.
I straightened my collar, and I was awe-inspiring at the depth of his city, which proved that there must have been a great secret hidden in the church where I had accepted the contract, otherwise how could he have pursued me so much?
I had already calculated in my heart at this time, and said: "I am a demon contractor, when I was in the church, it was Anne who took me in, I accidentally saw some words and graphics in the basement of the church, and when I touched it, I was surrounded by a kind of power, and I made a contract, but once the moon was full, I would pay a year of life, so I am not afraid of guns and other things." ”
The reason why I say this is to remove the Alice factor and use the seal in the basement instead, because I don't want to implicate her safety, and because on the night Alice and I left the church, I did find this seal when I was getting gasoline, so it is difficult to argue with me now.
Rudolph's eyes suddenly widened and said, "Yes, yes, this is it, I am looking for this." ”
I asked curiously, "You know what's the use of this?" ”
Rudolph seemed to be in a state of thought, and after a while he asked, "What did you just say?" ”
I had to repeat what I had just asked, and he said hesitantly, "That's what gets demonic powers." ”
I was confused and asked, "How do you know it's something with demonic powers?" ”
Rudolph didn't answer, but asked, "Then how do you know that you are the Devil's Contractor?" ”
Again, I had to briefly tell what was going on the cruise, which of course revealed the things about Bishop Albus, and the things about the Holy Cross, which I did not want to hide, and I did not need to hide, and I wanted him to know that I was in trouble.
Rudolph was thoughtful, leaned back on the back of the car, and said slowly: "Do you believe in immortality?" ”
I was noncommittal, looked at him with scrutinizing eyes, and said disincredulously: "Now you come and tell me this nonsense, I think it's funny." ”
Rudolph still said seriously: "I believe it, because I have seen it." ”
I was amazed and said, "How is this possible?" ”
Rudolph added: "You have even accepted the demon contract, what other facts can not be accepted? ”
I was silent.
Rudolph continued: "I used to be a Russian doctor, I was an expert in paleontology, and I had a friend Chick, who was an archaeologist, and together we discovered an ancient relic on a mountain, where we found a demonic contract, and he is now the signatory of the demonic contract. ”
I asked, "So what does this have to do with immortality?" ”
Rudolph recalled: "Because in that ruin, we discovered the ancient biological sciences, and I was the first experiment of Chick, so now I am simply an immortal man, and he pursued the most advanced life, betrayed his soul to demons, and obtained the power of immortality." ”
I said, "Since he is a demon contractor, he must pay the price of his own life, how is it possible that he is immortal?" ”
Rudolph waved his hand at me and said, "Because he used this infinitely repairable body to become a half-machine, half-human monster, he is basically immortal now." ”
I wondered, "In that case, he can indeed live forever, but what's the use?" ”
Rudolph smiled: "You don't understand this, he has his ambitions." ”
I asked, "What ambition?" ”
Rudolph avoided replying, "You'll find out about this later." ”
When I still had a big question mark in my heart, Rudolph said: "After my years of research, the demon contract is divided into two kinds, one is the type contract, that is, the contract has a fixed position, and this contract is composed of symbols, through this form contract, you can perceive the existence of the demon, so as to sign the contract, but such a contract is unstable, not strong, and can only get half of the power of the demon." The other is the fate contract, which has been handed down since ancient times by one person and one by one, this kind of contract only uses the human body as the medium, so it is much more powerful than the previous one, and at some point you can get the full power of the demon, which is the same as the effect of the demon possession. ”
I wondered, how could the woman inside me never borrow my power?
Rudolph didn't pay attention to my expression, and said, "So after my investigation, I found the church because I knew that it had something to do with the Holy Cross." Your appearance was an accident of an accident, so I had to chase you. ”
Hearing Rudolph say this, I also knew a rough idea, and asked, "Then what is the use of you wanting to get the contract?" ”
Rudolph's gold-rimmed glasses flashed against the light of the moon, and said: "Because I am the first experiment, there is a defect, if you want to maintain life, you must eat people to absorb cells, if I don't eat human cells to replenish, it will accelerate the cell death in the body because of rapid metabolism." ”
Rudolph looked at me for a moment, and I immediately became nervous, when there was a rolling sound in the trunk of the car, and the silence of the night was hairy.
Rudolph smiled: "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you now, there were two people watching you when you were walking to the deserted garden just now, this is one of them, I left it alive for supper." ”
I suddenly wondered if he had only brought a corpse with him.
Rudolph said: "As long as I get the power of the contractor, I can repair my body indefinitely, and say goodbye to eating the same kind of things, I am too tired of human flesh." ”
When I heard him say this, I somehow felt a little better, and he still had humanity when I said that.
The car restarted and headed towards the center of the city.
We weren't interested in talking along the way.
The car stopped in front of a statue not far from the Oxford campus, and Rudolph said, "Okay, that's it for today." ”
Of course, I really want to leave this guy who can talk and laugh at cannibalism, but there is a question I must ask, "You just let me go, aren't you afraid that I will run away?" ”
Rudolph smiled mysteriously and said: "Since I dare to let you out, there is naturally a way to find you again, you don't have to be suspicious, I won't tell you how to find you, and I believe that you didn't lie to me, now I will leave to go back to the United States, if the basement is still there, it is a contract symbol, then I won't be bothering you, if I see you next time, you should also understand the consequences, right?" ”
I nodded.
Rudolph smiled wickedly, closed the car door and walked away.
When I got out of the car, I realized that I had just experienced the worst nightmare, sitting on the ground against a wall.
Because the nerves that had been tense all the time last moment finally relaxed, I couldn't hold on anymore now, and I needed to relieve the pressure that Rudolph couldn't resist.
Looking up at the crooked moon, it seemed to laugh at my insignificance and insignificance.
After a short break, the problem in my heart has been lingering, if I will be found by Rudolph every time, then what is there to talk about normal life, maybe Beixue will have a solution when she comes, without this think tank, I really can't solve the problem alone.
walked to the coin-operated public telephone hall, dialed his phone, only rang once, and immediately greeted Alice's kind and familiar voice: "Mark is you, I am worried to death." ”
I replied, "It's me, where are you now?" ”
Alice said, "You know what?"
Before Alice finished speaking, the phone was immediately answered by another person, and a crisp, soft and a little cunning voice said, "Boy, we are now at No. 19 10th Street, hurry up and get here." ”
The phone was hung up, and I listened to it, and then it was reflected that it was Beixue's voice, she came here, and her mood suddenly relaxed.
The taxi stopped at No. 19 on 10th Street, this is a group of villas, and the person standing under the house number of No. 19 is not Beixue, but a man with blond hair and blue eyes, this person is twenty-five or six years old, close to Beixue's age, he has short blond hair, a head taller than me, about 1.85 meters, with a good face, fair skin, broad shoulders and thick arms, and a black suit is standing calmly in front of the door of Villa 19, which is even more weird in the middle of the night.
