In a world with supernatural powers, humans tend to judge the difference between the mundane and the supernatural by their strength.

But in fact this is a rather crude, even unreasonable, way of dividing.

Because how to distinguish only by the size of the power, then the power of human beings after the progress of science and technology, from guns to nuclear weapons, is not small at all! Even far crush the existence of most supernatural forces!

As a result, some humans have changed their thinking and demarcated the boundaries of the supernatural with "what science can't explain or can explain."

But this is only a temporary lazy division.

Because science is constantly advancing and expanding, what cannot be explained today may find the answer tomorrow. Therefore, this method of division is also passive.

In the eyes of the evil gods, there is no such distinction as "supernatural and mundane".

For these "creeping chaos", "blind and foolish eternity", and "beings beyond all rules", all the "extraordinary" in the eyes of living beings are nothing more than the most everyday banality in their eyes.

After eating part of the Wanmin Banner in Yujing City, and eating the entire dragon chair like chewing chocolate, Luo Shen, who was still holding three special items, had already begun to digest some of the "essence" of these "supernaturals".

It's hard to put words into words about this kind of thing.

But if we had to describe it, perhaps human beings could roughly imagine it as the relationship between "food" and its real material composition in the microcosm.

On the surface, humans drink juice and eat egg sandwiches, but in the process of absorption and utilization, it is impossible for them to have syrup flowing in their veins, and their muscles filling their muscles with eggs or bread. In the process of absorption and utilization by the human body, it must be a complex and natural mechanism, through chewing, stirring, grinding and the synergy of various secretions of saliva, pancreas, gallbladder, liver and stomach, these substances are finally absorbed through the microscopic environment of the intestine and converted into 'glycogen', 'protein' and 'carbohydrate' required by the human body.

Luo Shen digested the golden dragon chair and got several "messages".

Yes.

Information - or 'rules', this is the nutrients that Roshen absorbs from SCP objects.

And "information" or "rules" are already the words that are closest to the essence of human language.

At this point, Luo Shen really understood that the actual ability of the Golden Dragon Chair was not just the effect it showed on the surface, but its core was actually a power called [Price Contract] that was similar to some kind of natural rule.

Other words.

The emperors of the Great New Dynasty who were restricted by the dragon chair actually signed a tacit contract with the dragon chair, and it is precisely because of the power constraints of this "contract" that the emperors need to pay the "price" that violates common sense.

The ability of the Golden Dragon Chair is not a preset rule at all, turning the person it sits on into a puppet!

Instead, the price of "sitting on the throne" is exchanged for the price that the person who sits on should pay for the contract-type item!

Wang Mang and his descendants have completely misunderstood the true purpose of this item!

There are no instructions for supernatural objects.

Obviously, it is very likely that various problems and cognitive biases will arise in the course of personal exploration.

But when Luo Shen digested the Golden Dragon Chair, he obtained the source of the Golden Dragon Chair's true transcendent power, as well as the essence of that power - [Price and Contract].

"So, what can I do with this power?" Luo Shen casually broke into a private house and found a family.

This is a middle-class family in Yujing City, with two sons and a daughter, plus a husband and wife, as well as an old mother and two small maids.

After easily subduing the family, Luo Shen dragged them to the courtyard and began to experiment with this power, which was also completely new to him.

"What kind of contract should I make at what cost?" Luo Shen touched his pocket, and found that there was nothing in it for granted, and his eyes lit up after seeing the shrunken and trembling family!

He had seized one of the family's sons and trampled him under his feet, and the desperate struggle of the eighteen-year-old boy could not shake the small-looking delicate feet.

"Now, then, this man's life is mine—then I will make a [contract] with you at the price of sparing the lives of your sons and brothers: all of you must be naked!"

The next second.

Luo Shen saw several invisible silk threads extending from his body, connecting to several people in the courtyard.

And these invisible silk threads show their effect the moment they touch everyone.

The husband and wife and their other son were almost immediately connected by the silk threads, and then began to take off their clothes, and although their expressions were extremely embarrassed, they did not hesitate to take off all their clothes to the core.

The three of them crouched in the courtyard with their bodies in their arms.

Roshen smiled.

The dull hair on the top of his head trembled, and he directly read the shame and struggle in the daughter's heart and the activities of the old mother and the two maids' inner resistance.

The threads that represent the Pact cannot pass through their bodies and connect to them.

Luo Shen walked over, dragged one of the maids to his feet, turned his palm into a demonic blade-like claw, and said again: "Now this man's life is mine—then I will make a [contract] with you at the price of sparing this girl's life: you must slap yourself twenty times!" ”

Moment.

The "silk thread" of the contract was born again, connecting to everyone.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable......

In the courtyard, another maid kept whipping her face, her movements fierce and powerful, and her cheeks were swollen in almost a few strokes.

The line representing the deed cannot connect to other people.

Luo Shen's smile gradually widened.

With the ability to read inner activity, he was able to carry out this experiment with full transparency.

The ability of this [price contract] is actually very simple, and there is no procedure or verbal approval in order! Ask only for inner acknowledgment!

The husband and wife and the other boy could be naked at once for the sake of their son and brother, and the man felt that this was not a terrible price, and the woman also felt that her son's life was more important.

But the younger sister who grew up in a religious society was unwilling to pay such a price for her brother's "loss of virginity".

Although her parents might have persecuted her to do so, she chose not to save her brother in the absence of persecution, but only by heart.

The same.

The maid's life was not important in the eyes of the family and the old mother, and it was not even as important as twenty slaps.

Only the two of them depended on each other, and the other maid, who had slept together in the firewood room for several years, was willing to pay the price of twenty slaps.

As for the successive emperors of the Great New Dynasty......

After sitting on the dragon chair, they unknowingly signed the price of "sitting on the dragon chair needs to pay XXX".

In fact, it has nothing to do with the throne!

It's just the price of simply sitting in that chair!

So these people are not at all "puppets" as they themselves think they are.

It's just a "trader" who is willing to pay the price for the "throne" from the bottom of his heart - in fact, in order to sit on that chair!

That is to say, for hundreds of years after Wang Mang, the successive emperors of the Great New Dynasty killed their courtiers who were loyal to them, developed true love for them, and passed on the throne they thought was a trap to their favorite sons for the price of "sitting on that chair"!

The funny thing is that these people all think that they have been "controlled" by the dragon chair and become involuntary puppets to do such things.

No one has ever understood: it is precisely because they have determined from the moment they ascended the throne that their loyal ministers, concubines, and sons are not as important as the throne that they signed the contract by default!

Their subsequent actions were only to repay the [price] they had promised!

Today, Luo Shen was smiling so happily.

"Humans, that's funny......" he said with a laugh.
