Chapter 12 My help is here
With a pickaxe, Yan Rui transforms into a miner and digs a hole in "Minecraft". Last time, it took him more than an hour to dig the way to the Soul Crystal, so his body remained in a pool of blood for another hour. This retreat is not afraid of being disturbed, so you can not rush back and stay for more mining.
Seeing that he had begun to dig the wall, the prayer had understood his intention and stopped banging his head against the wall. It "looked" at Yan Rui with a face without facial features and expressions, and waited patiently on the side.
"The hell I saw, I was the only one working on. ”
Almost two hours later, the wall was dug through. The earth and rocks that fell on the ground disappeared, and the holes in the walls automatically turned into square, neat passages. The passage connects this other hall, which is filled with blue water. Since the room is roughly a cube, this is the "Water Cube".
There is water from the floor to the ceiling, but there is some kind of regular constraint that prevents it from flowing into the passage. The surface of the "Water Cube" is flat and smooth, without the slightest ripple, like smoothed marble. But its interior is filled with swirls of large and small, chaotic entanglements. Some are as thick as barrels, some are snake-like, and some appear and disappear quickly like meteors.
In the whirlpool, there is a constantly flickering picture. Yan Rui saw his office, with computers and stationery. It's just that these pictures are all fragmented, and there is a phenomenon similar to frame skipping.
Computer game production is Yan Rui's profession, and frame skipping is a common phenomenon in this industry, which can be solved by optimizing (conscience) and improving configuration (liver bursting). Yan Rui still misses this phenomenon, and he heard the fork in the road demon shouting loudly, "Space turbulence, space turbulence!"
The Merger nodded to Yan Rui and walked straight into the Water Cube. The vortex swallowed it up in an instant, then retreated slightly. In other words, on the side near Yan Rui, there is a part of the water, without the interference of the whirlpool.
At this moment, a bottle of Red Bull fell out of the water and rolled to Yan Rui's feet.
It's been a long time since I've drunk this thing, and I still miss it a little. Yan Rui picked up the Red Bull, pulled the lid open, and poured it into his mouth. The tea-yellow liquid is sprinkled on the ground as it comes out of the jar. As a soul demon, he has no ability to drink at all.
"Ahh Traveling to the New World, he has always been very calm, calmly observing and adapting to this world, even with the persecution of the devil, his weak body, and his rigorous training. But a can of drink from the original world unveils the emotions he has been hiding and causes the volcano to erupt.
"I'm living a good life! I'm healthy, I'm working well, my wallet is bulging! I've got a house, I'm talking about my girlfriend, and my parents are healthy! I have nothing to complain about, except that I'm a little tired when I'm in a hurry, and there are too few people working under my hands! What about now? What about now?! I can't even drink overtime drinks!"
He angrily scolded in the room, venting the negative emotions that had accumulated in his chest. No one can remain indifferent to a sudden change in circumstances, especially through such situations. Imagine that you have practiced a stunt, and you are killing all sides in the Internet café online, and someone suddenly turns off the electricity, can you not be angry?
Through the drink incident, Yan Rui relieved the pressure and slowly regained his calm. Proper venting is good for mental health, but only pragmatic actions can keep people going. He picked up the pickaxe from the ground, unfurled his meditative eagle eye, and came to a wall where the glow was hidden.
This time, taking advantage of the time, he decided to uncover as many secrets as he could.
As he dug into the earth, he pondered the question of the conjugator. Obviously, the merger is transformed from the geisman of the Ice Peak Fortress, and the specific transformation principle is not clear for the time being, but it is known that the merger will walk into the "Water Cube", cancel each other out with the vortex formed by the spatial turbulence, and exchange something for it.
Yan Rui has a reasonable guess: unlike heaven and hell, which is as characteristic as heaven and hell, the human world itself has no tendencies. The person who prayed before was also characterless, and it may correspond to the human world. Such a "tabula rasa" prayer is absorbed by the "human world", which is conducive to stabilizing the turbulence of space. Once the space is stabilized, the contents can be taken out, such as the Red Bull this time.
In a little more than a month, it will be winter, and after the heavy snow covers the mountain, there will be wandering spirits, which is a good time to obtain the prayer of the merger. If you can stabilize the space, you will be able to get your body back, or at least you will be able to take out something that is not available in this world. If you have a computer, you can play games, it's really good to think about it! But how to solve the problem of power supply?
With a "ding", the pickaxe hit something hard. Yan Rui returned his attention to the task at hand, and soon dug a dull yellow amber stone out of the wall. The piece of amber was about the size of a volleyball, heavy in the hand, and radiating heat. Inside the amber's translucent interior, a golden scroll is sealed.
"Mine, it's mine!
The fork in the road shouted excitedly. Yan Rui searched the devil's memory, and he understood what he was holding in his hand: amber was a condensed soul, and the golden scroll inside was the devil's contract. These are indeed the results of tens of thousands of years of hard work in the past collection of the fork in the road.
"Since it is not lost, it is up to me to inherit it. "Is robbing the devil still called a crime? What's more, Yan Rui is now the identity of the contract demon, and his hands are naturally his own things. He didn't hesitate to summon the Soul Dagger, and then pierced the amberstone. The warm feeling enters the palm of the hand, as does the golden scroll.
The eyes of the fork demon were full of loss, and even a hint of resentment.
"Pact with the Marquise of Bohimana......" Yan Rui unfolded the golden scroll and read it carefully.
The Devil's scrolls are written in the language of Hell, which Yama has learned through the memories of the Fork in the Path, just as he knows the language of the Duchy of Aria. In this complex contract, the Marquise of Pohimana demands eternal charm, and at the cost of losing everything gained by the extra charm when death comes, but never including her own soul.
The woman made a wish with the thought that "even if the flood is terrible after I die, it will be better to be a hundred", and the fork demon listened to this wish in the form of a human and promised to fulfill it for her. Did the Marquise of Pohimana know that the person in front of her was actually the devil? She should have known, otherwise how could she have added the clause "never including her own soul"?
"Can this avoid being robbed of your soul?" Yan Rui asked even though he knew that it was unlikely.
The fork in the road demon put away his jealousy, changed his face in an instant, and smirked twice: "How is this possible? The things she has gained by her charm, including the status and wealth of the Marquise, the happiness and fulfillment she enjoys as a result, especially the children and grandchildren that that marriage brought her, and the good deeds she has done with money and status—according to the contract, these will be taken back in an orderly manner." ”
She thought that donations and good deeds would be exchanged for angel blessings, but that wasn't how the world worked. The orphanages she funded would close down and the children would return to the streets, some of them becoming thieves, robbers, and assassins, indirectly serving the devil. Her garment factory will be on fire, and a small town will return to abject poverty, and the devil is best at using poverty to manipulate people's hearts. At the end of the day, the Marquise will find that what she has lost is her life. Her soul thus became hollow, boring, full of hypocrisy and self-deception. She will not go to heaven, she will fall into hell. However, such a fall was not snatched by the devil, but she herself finalized her fate. ”
Yan Rui held the contract scroll and slowly read it again. This time, the part of knowledge and skills that belonged to the contract demon became his knowledge and skills under the guidance of these terrible words. The construction and pitfalls of the contract, the norms and effects of the clauses, the secrets of which have all been unraveled for him.
Now, with a flip of his hand, Yan Rui can also create a devil's contract.
"It's a terrible power. Yan Rui put away the scroll and said to the Fork in the Road Demon, "We said before that this kind of power should be used sparingly to prevent me from becoming a complete devil, right?"
"You're still remembering that, it's good. ”
"I'll take this contract, and you will forget about the Marquise de Pohimana. As soon as Yan Rui's mind moved, the contract scroll was sucked into the soul body. "Ha, I've found that I've learned a lot of things, as long as I have the opportunity to discover them. Oh yes, and the soul inside the wall. I've also seen at least thirteen glowing amber stones. ”
He picked up his pickaxe again and prepared to continue digging the wall. Feige Hall, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "Don't get excited, what wall do you see the amber stones on?"
"It's all on the wall opposite the throne,......" Yan Rui suddenly understood: "The right wall is the Soul Crystal, which leads to the skin of the human world, the left side leads to the Water Cube, which is where I came from, and the opposite side is Hell?"
The throne hall is still completely enclosed, but outside is the seventh level of Hell. This floor is called Maradomini, and the outside is dotted with ruins and abandoned cities. Under the blood-black skies, the Temptors and the Devils are working, carving, and building new cities for the higher Devil Lords. Pits, slag heaps, salty canals covered the place like wounds.
The devils are too busy building new cities destined for destruction to care about what lies beneath the ruins, but if they see a newly dug hole, they will still arouse alarm and curiosity. The territory of the fork devil cannot be lost, and once it is discovered by other demons, it must be the result of being occupied and lost. Therefore, the wall should not be dug indiscriminately, especially in moderation. Yan Rui must find a way to improve his abilities in order to keep his territory.
He put down his pickaxe and sat back on his throne. "Since there's soul amber in the wall, then I'm not worried. In case of death, it's too late to dig the wall. Fork in the Road Demon, if you use your soul to strengthen me, what can you do with your current stock?"
The fork in the road demon looked like Scrooge was tangled, obviously not wanting to consume "his" soul. However, he couldn't resist Yan Rui on the throne, so he had to explain honestly: "It's enough to shape a little devil body for you, so that you can taste the drink." ”
"No, my current soul body can be used, and I don't want to waste my soul just for a drink. Body...... I just want to trade back to my own. Yan Rui pointed to his head and said, "I want knowledge and learning ability more, these can arm my mind and help protect this territory." What can hell give me in this regard?"
"Contract demons are particularly intelligent devils, and their intelligence can also rank among the top three devils in the entire hell. Of course, this does not include the Hellpurgite and the lords of the various layers. The man in the mirror revealed the old bottom of the fork in the road: "You can easily improve your thinking ability, and then go through my memory more to increase your knowledge about the devil." This should only consume a small amount of soul power. ”
"Thinking skills? That's good. Now that I have the contract ability of the Contract Demon, I should be able to gain the corresponding intelligence. After all, it's better to be smart, right?" Yan Rui continued: "The rest of the soul, strengthen my spell ability, after all, I still have to change my body, only the spirit-related power is my own." There's a term for it?Spell affinity, or elemental affinity? Anyway, it makes it easier for me to use spells. ”
"We devils can't give spells, we can only increase your sensitivity to spells - it will help you. The fork demon gritted his teeth and said, "You can't spend all your souls, you have to keep some of them, and maintain this territory! Otherwise, I'd rather you absorb me completely, and don't let me see this waste!"
"It's cunning. Yan Rui concluded, "I won't be tempted by you, I won't become yours completely—or in other words, you will become me?"
