Chapter 36: The Soul Contract

Yang Rui heard a mysterious voice, and suddenly sounded in his ears, shocked. At this time, Yang Rui was walking on the sidewalk near the attached middle school. After looking back and forth a few times, I didn't notice anyone nearby. Yang Rui didn't notice that there was a person looking at him at the convenience store across the road. Even if he did, he wouldn't have imagined that someone would be on the other side of the six-lane road to hear his ears. Because the mysterious voice Yang Rui heard was like someone whispering in his ear, it couldn't have come from a long distance.

Sun Hao had planned to recruit another music teacher and an art teacher for the kindergarten today. But in a hurry, Sun Hao didn't have a very good candidate. Originally, Sun Hao planned to go to the art academy in S City to see if he could hire a teacher. On the way, Song Qiang called and wanted to introduce an autistic child to the kindergarten. This made Sun Hao feel that his kindergarten was really going to become an autism specialist kindergarten.

After talking about business, Sun Hao said that he wanted to hire a music teacher and an art teacher. Song Qiang deserves to be an elite in the shopping mall, and immediately gave Sun Hao an idea that there is no need to hire a full-time extracurricular teacher. Like art, music, you can hire a part-time teacher, just invite two classes a week, and it doesn't cost much. And it's a lot cheaper than hiring a full-time teacher.

Sun Hao thought about it, what Song Qiang said was very reasonable. It just so happened that there were a lot of people at the entrance of the art academy who handed out leaflets for various make-up classes. Sun Hao made two phone calls according to the contact information on the leaflet, and he got the extracurricular teacher done in minutes. On the way back, Sun Hao met Yang Rui.

It is also inaccurate to say that Sun Hao met Yang Rui. In fact, Sun Hao and Yang Rui were on both sides of the road. One goes south and one goes north. There are dozens of meters in between. However, just in time for Yang Rui, he was tormented by a strong inferiority complex and an extremely inflated **. If it was in the eyes of ordinary people, seeing Yang Rui at this time, he only lowered his head and looked depressed. But in Sun Hao's eyes, he could see that Yang Rui's soul was shining. The intense light even illuminated the entire street, and the light of the souls of other passers-by was like a candle under a searchlight.

Sun Hao had just analyzed the Spirit Sucking Monster on the No. 1 Atlas Plane yesterday. While analyzing the soul sucking monster, Sun Hao inevitably had a preliminary understanding of the soul. Putting aside what a soul is, Sun Hao discovered that soul energy could be used as a substitute for faith. And the use of soul energy is much simpler. The only deficiency is that the soul energy is a surname, and after the soul energy is consumed at the cost of burning the soul, the entire soul disappears into heaven and earth, and cannot return to the origin of the plane again to generate new souls. Therefore, the soul is a non-renewable energy source. Consuming soul energy is equivalent to consuming the plane origin. If the soul energy of a plane is consumed, then the plane will only collapse and disappear. Therefore, under normal circumstances, beings who can transcend ordinary things will not use soul energy directly, but use the power of faith from the soul. It's like the difference between shearing a wool and killing a sheep. Shear the wool and the wool will grow again. Kill the sheep and there will be no wool left.

Only those devils who seem to be cunning but are actually stupid and greedy will devour and consume souls without hesitation. Transcendent beings who collect and use the power of faith in the other world are called gods, while transcendent beings who directly absorb and use souls are called demons. Just like the martial arts decency and evil faction in martial arts novels, the god side is the martial arts decency, and the devil side is the evil faction.

The evil faction in the novel can still be equal to the decent in a world where everyone shouts and fights, and naturally has the advantage of the evil faction. As we all know, in martial arts novels, the martial arts of the evil sect are generally simple to learn, and they enter the country very quickly in the early stage. And the reason why the devils are so fond of devouring and using soul energy is naturally because soul energy is easy to obtain and easy to use. The use of soul power is much simpler and more convenient than faith power. Take the magic as an example, those who use faith power must first analyze this magic before they can cast it with faith power. As for soul power, no matter whether you have this magic before, as long as you pay enough soul power, you can achieve the spell effect you want. Compared to the power of faith obtained by spreading faith, the direct use of soul energy is a typical representative of unearned gain.

Of course, to say that the devils get nothing for nothing is just a belittling of the devil by the gods. The soul energy that each soul can produce is different, and the purer the soul, the more powerful the soul energy can produce. So every devil is a master of playing with the soul. They torture the souls of mortals by all means. Amplify their emotions such as sadness, pain, greed, and **. Any emotion amplified to the extreme will overshadow other emotions and make the soul more pure. And the purer the soul, the greater the energy generated. Of course, amplifying emotions like happiness, joy, happiness, etc., also purifies the soul. But the reason why the devil is called the devil is that in addition to the fact that they devour souls, they prefer negative emotions. It has nothing to do with the amount of soul energy, but only with the taste of the devils.

Although Sun Hao is not a devil, he is a higher existence than gods and devils after binding to the fate slate. Therefore, whether it is the means of the gods or the methods of the devil, he can use them. It's just that because the Tablet of Destiny is broken, there is only a way to use the power of the gods. So it turned out that Sun Hao didn't know what to do with his soul. After Sun Hao analyzed the soul sucking monster and initially understood the soul, the Destiny Slate automatically completed the program for the use of soul power.

Sun Hao was affected by his usual view of right and wrong, and was not prepared to absorb his soul to gain power. After all, absorbing the power of faith is almost nothing to lose to mortals. And directly absorbing the soul and destroying its origin is too cruel and evil.

But when Sun Hao saw Yang Rui, he was shaken. We said earlier that the energy of the soul is related to the purification of the soul. An ordinary person's soul is worth almost a hundred points of faith. And because Yang Rui had just been hit, his soul was being extremely purified. Sun Hao judged from the intensity of the light of Yang Rui's soul that Yang Rui's soul power was almost worth 10,000 points of faith power at this time. This made Sun Hao unmoved. You must know that so far, Sun Hao's faith power reserve on the earth side is less than a hundred points. If you can get this 10,000 points of faith power in your hands, it will be convenient for Sun Hao to do a lot of things. So Sun Hao finally couldn't help but use psychic communication with Yang Rui.

Psychic communication is two-way and one-way. Sun Hao first understood Yang Rui's thoughts in one direction, and then let go of two-way communication and said to Yang Rui: "If you are willing to exchange your soul, I can give you a way to make money." ”

There is also a point in absorbing the soul. The easiest way to do this is to kill them. Absorb his soul the moment it leaves his body. But at this time, the soul will instinctively fly to the plane origin. In the process of competing for souls with the plane origin, a large amount of soul energy will be lost, probably more than 90%. Only 10 percent can really be used.

Another way is to communicate with the soul and establish a contract. On the condition that certain requirements be met, the soul will automatically relinquish ownership and be absorbed. Such souls will not be cast into the plane origin, so ninety-nine percent of the soul energy will be absorbed. The reason why the devil is called cunning and vicious is that they often hide loopholes when they make a contract with the soul to deceive the soul's trust. In the end, he obtained soul energy without paying anything.

Sun Hao was just an ordinary mortal on the side of the earth. Killing Yang Rui was too risky for him, and the gains outweighed the losses. So he chose to establish a contract with Yang Rui to buy and sell souls.

Yang Rui couldn't find anyone to speak, but the voice in his heart was real. Yang Rui asked cautiously, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm an Abyss System Support Elf. Congratulations on being selected as the 3813th player in Abyss Paradise. As long as you agree to sign the soul contract, you can open the Abyss Paradise system. Do you agree to the contract now? Sun Hao said nonsense casually. Nowadays, online novels are popular with this system and that system. After each protagonist gets the system, he will immediately change from poor horned silk to handsome and rich. Such a plot is always fascinating.

If intellectually speaking, you can get the things that the system encounters and look enjoyable, but in fact, you don't believe that there is a realization. But for romantic people, they will always fantasize about having such an adventure. Yang Rui is just a romantic man.

"I'm going to see the details of the contract." Yang Rui is a romantic but cautious person, he will not blindly sign any soul contract. A contract that requires the soul is not a good way to hear.

Sun Hao didn't mind that Yang Rui wanted to see the content of the contract. As long as you don't refuse right away, you're not afraid that you won't be tricked.
