"But how do you sign a contract? I'll bite my finger and put a handprint on your sheepskin scroll? ”

Yang Ke took the little skeleton's sheepskin scroll, and when he opened it, he found that there was nothing on it.

He picked it up again and looked at the light, but he saw nothing.

Yang Ke looked at the little skeleton suspiciously, and the little skeleton wrote a new sentence on the ground.

This time, there were many words that Yang Ke didn't recognize, so he picked up his phone and used the translation function.

The translated text reads: On the parchment scroll, write the name of the little skeleton in my own blood.

I see.

"What's your name?"

The little skeleton scribbled on the ground and wrote three Chinese characters: twenty-one.

"Twenty-one? Is your name a number? Or kanji? ”

The little skeleton stopped shaking its head in affirmation.

"Strange name, is this your age?"

The little skeleton shook its head.

"Is that your birthday?"

The little skeleton thought for a moment, but still shook its head.

"Okay, but there are quite few strokes."

Yang Ke couldn't think of any other meaning, so he didn't think about it again.

The previous scissors were accidentally lost by Yang Ke, he looked for them in the office, and saw a bunch of keys pinned to the waistband of Manager Li's trousers, with a folding knife on it, so he took it down and cut the skin, and quickly wrote twenty-one on the sheepskin scroll with his own blood.

However, because the wound was too small and healed too quickly, even such a simple number, he cut it three or four times before finally finishing it.

Yang Ke now felt that he was almost paralyzed by this pain.

It is said that in the dream, I planned to use the healing power as little as possible, but I have already used it so many times today alone.

Although there was very little bleeding in the last few times, Yang Ke was actually very panicked.

I only hope that signing the contract this time will be worthy of the price he paid.

The name of the little skeleton was written in blood, but the parchment scroll did not change in any way.

"Little skeleton, did you remember the name wrong? Did you know that the numbers in Chinese characters are actually written in traditional Chinese? ”

The little skeleton didn't shake its head, but took the sheepskin scroll from Yang Ke's hand.

It confirmed the name, and then the little skeleton opened its mouth and rolled up the entire parchment scroll and stuffed it inside.

A dark blue flame burned, and the part of the parchment scroll that had been stuffed into it was burned to ashes.

At the same time, Yang Ke suddenly felt that he had an inexplicable connection with the little skeleton, as if he could command the little skeleton to act with just one thought.

Is this the contract?

Instead of writing on the ground this time, the little skeleton shook its head.

Yang Ke immediately understood what it meant: "You're asking me what I want to take?" ”

The little skeleton stopped shaking its head in affirmation.

Yang Ke was a little surprised, he didn't expect that after signing the contract, he could roughly guess what it was trying to express by the frequency and amplitude of the little skeleton's shake of its head.

"Then take out my suit first, a top hat, a trench coat, and a cane."

The little skeleton began to shake his head, and the more Yang Ke looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled: "What does it mean that you can only take one piece at a time?" ”

"Every time I take out a piece and then I go back to take it back? Isn't that what you said at the beginning? ”

"This is the meaning of the one-eyed book?!"

Yang Ke suddenly realized that he seemed to have been trapped.

I can only take one at a time.

And whether you can take it out depends on the eyes of the one-eyed book.

The point is that he and the one-eyed book have been like that before, is it likely to let itself take things?

What a cheat!

"Can a contract be reversed?"

The little skeleton shook its head.

Yang Ke had no choice but to hold his forehead, he didn't expect to be calculated by a small skeleton.

"Alright then, you can help me take out the trench coat first."

With the defensive power of the trench coat, at least he could rush out of here first and see how Zhou Xuan went.

You can't keep him out there all the time.

The little skeleton didn't shake its head this time, it suddenly jumped up, and then disappeared into mid-air.

In Yang Ke's perception, the little skeleton seemed to have gone far away, and the connection was very subtle, and if it was to leave, it could be broken at any time.

After about a few minutes, the little skeleton came out of the ground with a top hat.

When Yang Ke saw the top hat, he was a little surprised: "Why the top hat?" I'm talking about trench coats. ”

The little skeleton shook his head, and Yang Ke immediately understood that this was the meaning of the one-eyed book.

Yang Ke didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, he was silent for a while, looked at the little skeleton with a complicated expression and said, "So why did you sign a contract with me, did you look at me unpleasantly?" ”

The little skeleton shook his head, raised the top hat in his hand, and motioned for Yang Ke to put it on.

"But I don't even know what this hat is for, since the trench coat can't be taken out, have you ever tried to take that cane?"

Yang Ke still didn't give up, but the little skeleton still shook his head.

"Alright then, a top hat is a top hat."

Yang Ke took the hat over in frustration and put it on his head casually.

At this moment, Yang Ke's vision suddenly distorted, and then, countless harsh voices sounded in his head.

"Johannes, Adolf, Johannes, Adolf......"

"Harriet, don't worry, I'll cure you of your beast disease......"

"Lori! Lori! Where are you? Lori, don't leave me behind, come back! ”

"Stupid child, the study of the inward-looking eye is endless, and you will only harm yourself if you give up now......"

These harsh voices, filled with countless emotions, rushed into Yang Ke's mind like a flood.

Pain, sadness, despair, disappointment...... Yang Ke's emotions changed uncontrollably.

As there were more and more voices, Yang Ke's emotions became more and more chaotic.

An inexplicable sense of restlessness came over him, the nails of his five fingers flickered and shortened, and the hairs on his body began to grow like weeds.

Yang Ke's body surface was gradually covered with pure white hair, and at the same time, his consciousness began to disappear and peel off little by little.

Instinctive impulses began to flash through his mind.

"Are you...... Yang Ke? ”

Among the countless chaotic voices, there was a voice that clearly came into Yang Ke's mind.

Suddenly, Yang Ke felt a terrifying eye looking at him through layers of barriers, and he was startled and immediately recovered his consciousness from the chaos.

Yang Ke hurriedly took off his top hat, and this feeling disappeared in an instant.

The white hair on his body faded and his nails returned to their original length.

"What was going on just now?"

Yang Ke gasped heavily, although it was only a dozen seconds, his forehead and back were already completely wet with sweat.

He had never experienced such a terrifying situation, and compared to those voices, it seemed that the threat of human wolves and fish-people had become extremely cute.

Especially the last opened eye, Yang Ke felt cold just thinking about it.

What kind of creature is that, the eyes are bigger than watermelons?

Did it really see itself just now, or was it just his delusion?

And the voice that called out his name just now, what's going on?

Anyway, Yang Ke didn't dare to wear this top hat again.

It's just too dangerous.

If he hadn't regained consciousness at the last moment, he would have turned into a monster by now.

And the most terrifying thing is that for a moment just now, he actually enjoyed that special power very much.

Crunch squeak squeak.

"Huh? You say the runes on the ground can help me counteract the effects of the hat? ”

Yang Ke looked at the pattern that the little skeleton had drawn on the ground before, which looked like his lips were bleeding, and realized that this thing was actually a rune.

According to Yang Ke's understanding, since this pattern is called a rune, it should be used to improve strength.

"What does it do? How to use it? Will there be any negative effects after using it? ”

Yang Ke asked three questions directly.

Because he was already afraid of the negative effects of these things, the top hat, which originally had no special function in the nightmare, almost collapsed directly after coming to reality, which was simply unguardable.

Squeak squeak......

"The name of this rune is [Lake], and after using it, it can increase a small amount of mystic resistance, and painting it on the top hat with its own blood can reduce the negative impact of the top hat."

"And the negative effect of [the lake] itself is that the user will feel a slight suffocation sensation, as if sinking in the lake, and the suffocation will increase with the delay of time, and after an hour it will turn into real suffocation, which will lead to death."

"Solving the negative effects of the rune [lake] is actually very simple, it only takes half an hour to remove it once, and then use it again, and the suffocation time will be reset."

After Yang Ke deciphered the meaning of the little skeleton, he had a general understanding of this rune.

It's just that we need to use blood again?

Can't you change to a separate ceremony?

Yang Ke looked at his fingers, a little unbearable.

"Help! Xiao Yang, Yang Ke, Brother Yang, where the are you! Why did it take so long for you to call the police! ”

At this moment, there was a sudden cry for help outside.

Not good, Zhou Xuan was caught!

Yang Ke thought of the lifeguard who was devoured by the flesh and blood, if Zhou Xuan was devoured by the flesh and blood, I am afraid that he would also become a fragmented end.

But now the police don't know when they will arrive.

Forget it, things have come to this point, and if he gives up halfway, it won't be a waste of the messenger contract he just signed.

Yang Ke cut his fingers with a folding knife, and then painted them on the top hat little by little according to the pattern on the ground.

According to the little skeleton, the patterns of the runes are generally similar and do not need to be exactly the same.

Because the shapes of the various runes are completely different from each other, there is no chance that the effect will be drawn incorrectly.

As for why the effect of such a pattern corresponds to Mystic Resistance, it is not clear to the little skeleton.

After drawing the pattern, Yang Ke cut the wound four or five times this time.

He picked up his top hat and slowly slipped it on his head.

Yang Ke grabbed the edge of the top hat very hard with both hands, and once the voice just now appeared again, he would immediately take off the top hat.

As soon as the top hat touched Yang Ke's head, he subconsciously hurriedly raised it.

It turned out that I didn't really hear anything.

Yang Ke was a little relieved.

He put his top hat back on and pressed it down a little harder, and although there was still a faint murmur, it was almost unaffected.

The negative effect of the [Lake] rune brought a feeling of suffocation, making Yang Ke feel like he was wearing a mask, but it did not affect his breathing.

Yang Ke closed his eyes, and after about ten seconds, he suddenly felt a wave of urgency, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that his gaze was outside the office.
