177. Make a deal with the devil

The huge living room fell into a quiet and eerie atmosphere, and Mindy, who poked her head out of the bedroom, immediately shrank back, her little face was solemn, holding one hand to her chest, and the other hand seemed to be holding a pipe, and her small mouth chirped a few times from time to time.

"It's not good...... Minty, who is completely immersed in the inner little theater, thinks of herself as Sherlock Holmes, smoking a pipe that doesn't exist.

Little Lori didn't expect her new friend to make this kind of request directly to Sean, and Gary doesn't look like a person with a passionate and unrestrained personality......

Quietly pushed open the door, poked out his little head and continued to observe the situation, Sean was obviously stunned for a moment, looking at the girl's sincere and sincere clear eyes, he was a little overwhelmed, and now the social atmosphere is so open?

"You smell good." The girl emphasized again, her eyes sparkling as if she had seen some dazzling treasure, "It is very much in line with what my father said my husband wanted." ”

Sean covered his forehead helplessly, what kind of family education can create such an almost ignorant and cute character of a girl? Didn't her father say that as a girl, at least she had to be a little reserved?

The fingers against the girl's forehead suddenly trembled, and the energy in the body seemed to be surging towards the other party uncontrollably, and in the invisible mind, Sean suddenly felt the unusual terrible aura on the other party's body, the instinct to plunder life and devour matter, like a small black hole in the spiritual world, quietly absorbing everything.

This is a cosmic life beyond human beings, and Sean can deeply feel how powerful the girl's delicate and slender body is surging, like a silent volcano that has not completely erupted.

I didn't notice it before, maybe the girl controlled her biological instincts, so she deceived her perception......

Sean had a vague guess in his heart, thinking of what Mindy said, this runaway girl is afraid that her origin is not simple, could it be that before facing the overlord of the universe who has crossed the galaxy, he has to first meet a terrifying existence that changes the color of major civilizations?

Although the ancient life known as the "Planet Devourer" is not powerful enough compared to another cosmic overlord, the devouring instinct that treats the planet as food at every turn is undoubtedly more terrifying.

This cosmic-level powerful existence, originally named Galatus, was born in one of the most advanced civilizations in the universe, he is the last survivor of the planet Taa, a violent and huge explosion released deadly radiation, and a sudden terrible disaster killed all life on the planet, only he survived, and his body was filled with powerful energy, which also made him extremely hungry, as his strength continued to increase, the more intense the hunger was incomparably stronger.

In order to sustain life, he only has to constantly ingest a huge amount of energy, and in the long and endless years, Galartus gradually forgot his name, due to the explosive growth of the power level, the time interval between his need to consume energy is getting shorter and shorter, in the past, he used to devour uninhabited planets, but later, he successfully overcame his sympathy for civilization and life, and considered himself a higher level of existence, so he chose to destroy the planet to continue his life.

As a result, the former Galatus has become a feared terminator of civilization, a terrifying being dubbed the "Devourer of Planets".

"Where is your father?" Sean asked softly.

It's no wonder that the girl's body emits energy fluctuations like black holes, and as a descendant of the most powerful devourer in the universe, she has indeed inherited her father's powerful power.

"Far away, I sneaked out." The girl snickered quietly, apparently thinking that she had done something great.

A rebellious girl who ran away from home? What is this broken unfolding!

Sean couldn't help but be speechless, he let go of the energy in his body, his fingertips flashed with golden light, and the moment he touched the girl's skin, he was swallowed up in an instant.

A flush welled up on Gary's little face, as if she was intoxicated by this wonderful feeling, the tip of her tongue licked her lips, and she said in a delicate voice: "A little more, a little more ......"

Mindy in the bedroom had a serious face, she was thinking about whether to go out and stop it, lest her good friend fall into Sean's clutches, eh, no, it seems that Sean is more dangerous now.

The feeding process lasted about ten minutes, Sean exhaled, withdrew his fingers, and saw the girl who was still a little dissatisfied, and an inappropriate sentence inexplicably appeared in his mind.

"Sure enough, there are only tired cow ......"

Gary's eyes sparkled even more as she looked at the young man, she didn't expect that on such a remote planet, she could find a creature that met the requirements of a mate.

"Don't worry, I'll be very modest." The girl's fingers twisted the corners of her clothes, and she returned to her normal state after slightly reducing her hunger.

Sean looked at the other party's sparkling eyes, and a strange thought flashed in his heart, would the planet eater hammer his own dog head after learning that his daughter had been abducted by a man he had known for less than two hours?

…………

Hell's Kitchen, Matt Murdoch's run-down apartment.

The blind lawyer looked at his hands incredulously—this was the true meaning of seeing with his eyes, rather than relying on his super senses to sketch and depict, and for the first time since he lost his sight, Matt saw again, the mess of wine bottles on the floor, the dusty floor, and the two figures standing in the room, everything was so clear and real.

The former leader of the Hand Clan, Mrs. Gao, and an old man with silver hair, the other party was wearing a skull silver cane, wearing a black trench coat, his face seemed to be extraordinarily pale, and his sensitive sense of smell could still smell a vague smell of sulfur.

"Who are you?" Matt was wary.

Half an hour earlier, the old man, who had called himself "Mephisto", claimed to be able to grant him the light he had not seen for a long time, and with a wave of his hand, he was freed from the dark world to which he had long been accustomed.

No longer having to rely on the fluctuations of sounds, the shape of objects, and all kinds of complicated information to sketch and paint a vague image of the mind, all of which can be done through his eyes, Matt's firm heart has a trace of hesitation, and he is clearly aware of the change in his attitude.

"I'm a demon from hell - you humans usually call me that way." Mephisto chuckled, an eerie aura filling the apartment, "I'm actually just a fair trader to satisfy human desires and desires in exchange for delicious souls. ”

"I smell you, Matt Murdoch, a lawyer who stands up to justice, a vigilante who fights criminals, and a devout Catholic."

Mephisto walked quietly to Matt's side, like a ghost sneaking into the world, "Tell me, Mr. Murdoch, can your god relieve the pain in your heart?" Will the Sovereign Being be able to liberate those who are suffering? ”

"Thou hast believed in righteousness, but thou hast become a demon at night; You revere the law, but you trample it under your feet...... As a lawyer, you can't stand up to evil and practice righteousness; As a vigilante, you are treated as a wanted criminal and spurned by the world. ”

Mephisto let out a whimsical grin, his eyes glowing with scorching fire, and in the dimly lit room, the shadows twisted and shifted, like the firstborn demons of hell with two horns.

"What exactly are you going to do?" Matt asked with a cold face.

"I'd like to talk to you about a deal." Mephisto looked left and right, and finally his eyes stayed on Mr. Lawyer's body, and a strange smile appeared on his pale face, "I happen to lack a knight, the previous one was a disobedient little fellow, and ran away with the task I gave him, this time I want to find a reliable person." ”

"I'm not going to make a deal with demons." Matt shook his head in refusal, "Even if you lose the light in front of you." ”

"Why be so pedantic, Mr. Murdoch, there is no conflict between practicing justice and throwing yourself into darkness, just as you are a lawyer by day and a vigilante by night, both of which are meant to carry out the convictions in your heart." Mephisto raised his hand and pointed out the window, "This place is called 'Hell's Kitchen,' oh, I love the name." ”

"It appears to be orderly, but in fact it is growing endless evils all the time, those drug dealers, street girls, smugglers, profit brokers...... They extract wealth from civilians and rule the region with violence and money. ”

"People are waiting for a hero to appear, Matt Murdoch, the opportunity is in front of you, is to throw yourself into the darkness in exchange for the power to enforce justice, or to continue this decadent and mediocre life."

Mephisto pulled out a parchment scroll, a contract to sell his soul, an ancient word written in quill, like a twisted living thing, with an air of forest.

"When you complete a mission, I will give you back my soul, fair deal, and there will be no deception."

Matt Murdoch closed his eyes, he was like a radar receiving all kinds of complex information, and those noisy sounds were like radio waves, coming into his head.

The evil of this neighborhood has never disappeared, it is only hidden in the dark, it is decorated in order and beautiful, but when the glamorous fig leaf is lifted, the ugly face is clearly revealed, violent oppression, bloody crime, dirty and naked power and money trading...... They never went away!

Exhaling a long breath, Matt opened his eyes, he took the parchment scroll from the demon's hand, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Don't worry, it's just a little thing." Mephisto smiled and took back the demon contract that had been signed, "My child is lost, and the previous knight has escaped, a bunch of troubles. You can go and complete your vigilante career first, and when I need your help, I will naturally come to the door myself. ”

"Hopefully the next time I come to this place, it'll turn into a veritable hell."

Mephisto slammed his skull-tipped silver cane against the floor, and he and Madame Gao turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared as if they had never existed.

Matt clutched his chest, he could feel a scorching power boiling and burning, remembering the words before the demon left, this lawyer couldn't help but be a little dazed, he really made the right choice?
