Chapter 5: The Devil's Contract
Su Xiaoxiao leaned over incredibly, his face was very close, and after looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but stretch out his finger and poke his face, but he impatiently stretched out his hand to open it.
Now she believed, "You...... Is it a demon? Is it so small?! ”
He snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and said disdainfully, "What about the small?" I don't know who couldn't even catch one of my tricks just now. ”
Thinking of the embarrassed appearance that had just flipped over from the sofa, Su Xiaoxiao blushed, "That's because I wasn't ready!" If I knew you were so small, I wouldn't have ......."
Before he finished speaking, he raised a finger, and the familiar fiery red light appeared on his fingertips, and Su Xiaoxiao, who had suffered a loss, immediately coaxed, and his body unconsciously moved a big step back.
"Okay, I'll admit I can't beat you, okay? That...... What should I call you? ”
"Nightlord."
"Yejun......" she muttered a few times, and said sincerely, "It's very nice." ”
Hearing her praise this title for being good, Yejun did not smile, but looked indifferent.
"That's the Night-King......"
Yejun suddenly raised his head, "You want to add a 'lord'." ”
"Night Monarch...... My lord. Su Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed again, "So, Lord Yejun, what is your old man looking for me...... What do you want? ”
Hearing her ask, Yejun finally reacted and preached, "As I said before, as long as you help me collect the wicked people I'm looking for, I'll help you find Sakura Snowfield." ”
"Sakura Snow Plain ......" Su Xiaoxiao listened to it again at this time, and only then did she react, this is the first person who thinks that Sakura Snow Plains exists like her.
Ever since Su Xiaoxiao began to become an onmyoji, those strange dreams have been lingering in her mind.
In the dream, there are pieces of memories in the Sakura Snow Plain, so detailed that she believes that all this is not just a dream, and the Sakura Snow Field is real.
Moreover, according to the memory in the dream, the onmyoji originated in the cherry blossom snow field.
If the former Onmyoji really came from this legendary place, finding her means finding the origin of the Onmyoji and the ghosts.
Then, Su Xiaoxiao, who found her, will undoubtedly become the greatest onmyoji in history.
Perhaps influenced by her father, or perhaps motivated by her competitive spirit, Su Xiaoxiao regarded this title as her life's ideal.
And in the dream of more than ten years, Su Xiaoxiao felt that this must be the great witch "Heavenly Emperor" guiding her.
However, in the memories of the Onmyoji, Sakura Yukihara is just a place of myths and legends, and their Onmyoji originated in the mortal world.
No one believed her.
Except for this demon.
Seeing her half-believing expression, Yejun knew that her heart was moved, and the corners of her mouth rose a little higher, "In the past, the Onmyoji and the ghosts lived in the Sakura Snow Plain, but then after a catastrophe, the surviving Onmyoji and the ghosts came to the world together, and gradually evolved into the current situation, where the Onmyoji integrated into human society and secretly confronted the ghosts. ”
What he said was in line with her dreams.
At this time, Su Xiaoxiao completely believed him.
Sure enough, it wasn't just a dream.
Su Xiaoxiao let down her guard, her brows gradually relaxed, and even her posture lowered unconsciously, "Do you really know where Ying Xueyuan is?" ”
The Night Monarch looked at her with a sworn oath, "If you don't believe me, we can sign a demonic contract." Once the demon clan has signed a contract, they cannot break it, otherwise they will be in the flames of hell and their souls will be scattered. ”
What he said was quite mysterious, although Su Xiaoxiao couldn't easily believe it because she didn't know about demons, she was unwilling to give up this opportunity to realize her dream.
After all, this was the first person she met to know that Sakura Yukihara really existed.
Su Xiaoxiao hugged her arms, "That'...... Tell me about you and why you need ...... Collecting the souls of the wicked? ”
Yejun glared at her, obviously reluctant to say more, "How is it?" Do you want to sign a contract or not? ”
Su Xiaoxiao was silent for a long time, all this came too suddenly, and it was difficult to digest for a while.
But this is her only chance to realize her dream, and his request is to help him collect the souls of the wicked, which can be regarded as a righteous act to eliminate harm for the people, right?
Her instincts told her that she had no reason to refuse.
She took a deep breath and finally made up her mind, "Good! I promise you. ”
Yejun finally showed a smile that was shallow, but heartfelt, and with a wave of his hand, a scroll appeared in the air, and as his fingers slidied, three lines of text gradually appeared on the scroll.
In the first treaty, the contractor helps the demons gather the souls of the wicked who represent the eight original sins.
In the second treaty, the demon helps the contractor find Sakurayukihara.
Treaty III, Protection of Contractors.
Seeing these three lines of treaty, Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Every word, especially the third one, is touching." ”
Yejun glanced at her, as if complaining that she was talking too much nonsense. He raised his right hand, palm down toward the scroll, and said something in his mouth.
"In the name of the devil, I shed the blood of my heart. Heart-to-heart, sincere. Make a covenant and keep your oath. ”
As the words fell, a drop of bright red blood oozed from his palm, dripping on the scroll, and the red light spread out on the scroll like ripples, forming a mark representing the Night Monarch at the end.
In order to cater to Su Xiaoxiao, this contract was deliberately adapted to the size of her figure, which was much larger than Yejun's, and the mark at the end was larger than Yejun's entire body.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at it and asked, "How should I sign?" ”
The Night Lord pointed to the scroll, "You only need to leave a drop of blood behind." ”
Su Xiaoxiao complied, bit her fingers, and squeezed out the blood and dripped it on the scroll.
Her blood also bloomed like a rose, forming her name.
As both sides signed their names and the contract ceremony ended, the scroll immediately burst into flames and gradually dissolved into wisps of green smoke in the air.
A satisfied smile bloomed on the Night Monarch's face again, "The ceremony is over, and from now on, you and I have signed a demonic contract. ”
Su Xiaoxiao regrouped her mentality and prepared to accept this inexplicable task, "I have signed a contract, now it's time to talk about how to help you collect the souls of the wicked, right?" I see what was written in the contract just now, the wicked man representing the eight original sins? ”
Yejun nodded in satisfaction and began to explain to her.
In short, the eight original sins are evil, jealousy, laziness, anger, greed, greed, lust, and pride.
And the souls of the eight most evil people who possess each of the eight original sins are exactly what the Night Lord needs.
As for why it was needed, he did not say.
Su Xiaoxiao felt that this demon didn't seem to be honest, maybe there was something hidden from her.
However, collecting the souls of the wicked, in other words, making the wicked die, is not a bad thing.
But it doesn't seem to be easy to gather all the wicked people of the Eight Original Sins, Su Xiaoxiao held up her chin and frowned and said, "Each of the eight wicked people has the Eight Original Sins...... It's hard to find. ”
Yejun didn't look in a hurry at all, hugged his arms and said, "Don't worry." Didn't you open this 'cleaning company'? Where ghosts haunt, there must be no shortage of wicked people. ”
This is the case, as an onmyoji, there will be opportunities when exorcizing demons in the future.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded, and like him, he hugged his arms, raised his eyebrows, and was full of confusion about the future, "There will be a 'cleaning' business tomorrow, maybe there is someone you are looking for, do you want to come and have a look?" ”
Yejun turned his head, and a nice smile rose into the corner of his mouth, "Of course." ”
As soon as the words fell, the lights in the bar turned on again, and Gu Ming appeared beside Su Xiaoxiao, shaking her shoulder, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?" ”
Su Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and found that she seemed to have come out of that different space.
However, the drunken man in front of the bar was still nowhere to be seen.
