Yan Rui, Feige Hale in the mirror, the fork in the road.

But anyone with basic intelligence knows that doing business with the devil is never a good idea. But as a dead person who wants to be resurrected, there is really nothing to find fault with, so let's put aside basic intelligence and the like for the time being!

"All my power is in you, and if I teach you how to use it, you will be resurrected. With a warm smile, the Fork in the Road Demon said, "The devil will never die, but he will exist in a different form." ”

"It's the truth, but he's misleading you. The man in the mirror said: "As a devil, limited by nature, it can only tell the truth, but the truth is enough to mix misleading information and make you think wrongly. The devil never dies, that's true, but are you the devil?"

Yan Rui shook his head: "Although I died before I saw it clearly, I should be using a human body, right?"

"Yes, the human body, my body to be exact. The man in the mirror said, "I know where your body is, so my advice is simple: when the conditions are right, you go back to your body and give me my body back." I'll help you watch that bastard devil so he can't hurt you. ”

"I will not harm you, because to harm you is to harm myself. The fork in the road demon snorted at the person in the mirror, and then changed his smile and said to Yan Rui: "After we both lost, the strength was given to you, in essence, you resurrected yourself, this is not risky." If you don't worry, you can also use the method of the devil's contract to restrain you. But you have to understand that you are a contract demon, and if you sign a contract with me, you are actually signing a contract with yourself, and the effect is greatly discounted......"

Yan Rui looked at the fork in the road demon, then at the person in the mirror, and frowned and thought for a while. Obviously, neither the devil nor the person who makes a deal with the devil and can still trap the devil is not a good person. In line with the starting point that these two guys are not good things, Yan Rui thought about it carefully......

"I lost my life, I lost my body, and you did it. Therefore, the matter of returning my body is the most basic, and there should be compensation in addition to it. You use this as a condition and let me work, which is very insincere, and I don't accept it. ”

The person in the mirror looked flustered, and then lowered his head. The fork in the road demon was secretly proud, but Yan Rui turned to it and said, "You are already like this, and the power is all on me, but you are still thinking of using vague methods to cover up the information, and you obviously still have the idea of tricking me. This is harmful to others and oneself, and it is even worse. ”

The corners of the Fork Demon's eyes twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his original smile. The devil always puts profit first, and naturally it is beneficial to come. It quickly calculated the current situation, and it was obvious that the guy in the mirror would not allow himself to affect Yan Rui's thinking alone, unless he could find common ground in interests, so the devil smiled slightly, and lured Yan Rui step by step: "I think we will still be able to reach a contract in the end." ”

"First of all, you must make all the situation here clear, and do not hide it. Yan Rui pointed to the underground room.

"This is the seventh layer of hell (Maradomini), and the exact location is impossible to describe. This is the territory of the fork in the road, but now I have successfully invaded it. The man in the mirror looked very proud: "The devil is orderly, and the power of the contract is very strong here." I exploited a vulnerability in the Fork of the Road Demon contract to find the weakness of its territory, and then took the core here. ”

"Good thing you didn't make it completely!" the Fork in the Road Demon suddenly became very angry and interrupted the man in the mirror. "I have known about your actions, and in the end you have not been able to break free from the shackles of the contract. ”

"But you've also lost the core of your territory, and you've lost the power of the devil......"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Yan Rui felt that he couldn't let them continue to master the rhythm like this. One is a devil who cheats the dead and can't pay for his life, and the other is a mage who can defeat the devil - if they don't have their own ghosts!

"Shut up, you two don't quarrel!" Yan Rui decided to show his momentum, he had to take the absolute initiative among the three souls! He clenched his fists and slapped it on the throne. Only a loud roar was heard, like a piece of wood hitting a giant bell, and the reverberating hum made the whole room tremble.

Although it is not known what the mechanism is, it is clear that the man in the mirror and the fork demon have been hit hard. The images of the two of them in the mirror swayed for a moment, and then they all let out a scream of pain, and their eyes were bleeding. They all said in unison: "We're not arguing anymore!"

"Very well, keep talking. This is the territory of the Fork Demon in the Seventh Layer of Hell, and then what?"

There are nine levels of hell, where the devil is born, where he advances, and where the source of his power lies. The devil does not need a territory, but as long as he pays enough soul currency, a devil can also obtain a relatively independent territory from the superior devil, and then continuously enhance his power through this territory.

"Why does it sound like the power of the devil is like a vegetable grown out of the land of hell?"

Yan Rui's summary made the fork in the road demon feel a little sad, and even felt discriminated against—but it didn't cost it anything, so it could be expressionless and not respond. It wouldn't tell Yan Rui how rare or unique a devil could get his own territory, and it didn't want to make itself look aggressive and dangerous.

It's just that the person in the opposite mirror has a very good understanding of the devil: "The devil has a very strict hierarchy, and if a devil wants to be promoted, he must be performed by a higher devil in a ceremony." However, once you have a territory, the devil has another way to be promoted: as long as the fork demon has a large enough territory and then sacrifices enough souls, he can improve himself. Yes, the territory is the field, the soul is the fertilizer, and the devil is the vegetable. ”

"The devil who can come out of his own country should not be underestimated," the man in the mirror put away his sneer and continued: "The fork in the road demon probably grabbed the handle of its superiors, but he was worried that his superiors would make a black hand in the promotion ceremony, so he asked for the territory. ”

The fork in the road demon was silent, but nodded in acknowledgment under Yan Rui's gaze.

After gaining the territory, the Fork Demon tied the territory to his demonic nature. In this way, even if it loses its body, the demonic essence will be reborn in this land without any damage. However, the devil's contract is subject to quid pro quo, and the price of rebirth is one more weakness: as long as the land is taken away, the fork in the road demon will die out forever.

The battle between one man and one demon changed the rules here, and with Feige Hale and the Fork of the Road Demon trapped in the throne, Yamari's soul mixed with the essential traits of the two of them, making him the new master of the land.

The fork in the road demon sighed and said reluctantly, "You are the new master, so you will not die, and the resurrection is simple, but it is expensive. The exchange of life and death is equivalent, and to resurrect you, you need to sacrifice a soul that is not weaker than you - we don't have much ...... left in our wallets."

"How to resurrect?" Yan Rui cared about this the most.

"Pick up the pickaxe made by the horns of the Deep Hell Purgatory under the throne, go to the wall behind me, and cut it out from the center, and you will see a huge soul transformation crystal, which is also a portal to the human world. "I'll teach you how to possess yourself like a devil, and you'll easily be able to get back into Feiqi's skin." All wounds will be restored - as long as the soul in the crystal is enough to pay. ”

Yan Rui's body trembled, and he immediately wanted to embark on the path of resurrection. However, caution made him sit down again, looking at the remnants of Feige Hall's soul.

The man in the mirror nodded: "It's right, it's resurrected like this - but that's not all. ”

The wall behind the Fork in the Road leads to the human world, and the opposite wall, the one behind the Feige Hale mirror, leads to another place.

"That's the world you came in. A manipulation of the devil's pact has dragged you and a part of your space over so your body is still there. The man in the mirror said: "It's just that there must still be space turbulence inside, you need to find a way to stabilize it, and then you can get your body back." ”

"As long as you have a soul, it's not hard to find a body. When you return to the world, you will definitely collect a lot. The fork in the road demon smiled slightly: "You are me now, the contract demon who owns the territory." The contract of hell can help you fulfill all kinds of wishes, and it is not a problem to create a stronger body. ”

"But if I were you, I wouldn't use the contract to choose the body that the devil gave you. ”

The words of the person in the mirror were very right, and Yan Rui himself thought so. Those important things, if you can use the original, don't use the stolen ones, otherwise you will be fooled or suffer yourself.

The fork in the road demon snorted coldly: "Whether you want a body or not, the soul is essential. Don't forget that this is Hell, just dig it out right in front of the throne. Don't forget, if you can dig out, others will be able to dig in! Without a soul, this territory will be unstable, and it may not be able to stop the attacks of other demons. Once this place is completely occupied, all three of us will be finished!"

After a moment of silence, Feige Hall finally sighed: "That's right, the soul is a must. Collect as much as you can, even in the devil's way. ”

As a good young man, suddenly about to become a soul reaper, Yan Rui was a little caught off guard. He couldn't hide the resistance in his heart, but he had to accept the reality. He also wanted to struggle a little more: "Is there no other way but the soul?"

"The realm of hell only accepts souls, but gold can buy souls. This is the only thing that the devils approve of other than the soul. The Fork Demon looked at the flame of joy that suddenly appeared in Yan Rui's eyes, and happily snuffed it out: "Don't be happy, your current strength is not able to trade gold and soul with other devils, that will only attract enemies, and then annexation and murder." Moreover, in hell, souls are worth a little more, and it is not appropriate to exchange them for gold. But in the human world, there are many people who are willing to exchange their souls for gold, and it is very cheap. ”

"You should be glad that I am a contract demon, the contract has become your essential power, and you can sign a soul contract yourself, which is a unique ability. Even the more powerful Horn Demon and Ice Demon have to summon us if they want to sign a contract. As long as you put a little effort into it, your soul will still ......"

The man in the mirror interrupted it at this time: "Signing too many contracts in the devil's way will also lead to spiritual degradation!"

It stands to reason that the devil is supposed to love to degenerate people. But after being drunk this time, the fork demon actually stopped inducing. "Well, I'm not talking about it all, there are other ways than contracts. In addition to the pickaxe that digs into the wall, there is something under the throne, also made from the horns of the Deep Hell Purgatory, which is a soul dagger that, as the name suggests, can be used to collect suitable souls - even if it is dead, it will not take more than three minutes to make it possible. ”

The suspicious look on Yan Rui's face could be seen by everyone, so the person in the mirror patiently explained: "That's the case, if you really degenerate into a devil, the fork in the road demon will be completely absorbed, and it will be considered non-existent. At that time, my body was also contaminated and could not be used for resurrection. What's more, if you are human and have kindness and compassion, you may still help me. Being the devil is a different situation, a bad situation, and I don't want to bet. ”

Yan Rui looked at the person in the mirror on the left and the demon in the mirror on the right, and all kinds of emotions came up: anger was the most important, resentment was secondary, but under this, there was also happiness, pity, and sorrow. But the greatest human trait is to have hope.

Even in hell.

"I'm going back to earth. Yan Rui cheered up and said, "I will be Feige Hale, and I will also be a fork in the road contract demon, but I will be Yan Rui in the end, and I must be Yan Rui." ”

"The three of us will eventually go our separate ways, and the two of you can continue to love and kill each other when the time comes. But before that......" Yan Rui said very seriously, "We are a Trinity, and we must be a Trinity!"
