446 Start working as a maid today
Bang!
The moment the gunshot rang out, Kurapika instinctively wanted to dodge, but his body was restricted by Tang Cheng, and he couldn't move at all, so he could only watch the bullet hit his head, and then ...... Kurapika thought he was going to die, but at the moment he was hit, he didn't feel the slightest pain.
Just when he was puzzled, he saw that the severed arm on the ground seemed to suddenly come to life, flying to his hand, and when the severed arm was connected to the incision, not only did he not feel pain, but even the sleeves were intact, and he subconsciously pulled up the sleeves, and there was no scar on his wrist.
"Kurumi Tokizaki, the elf who controls time, and time reflux is one of her abilities." Tang Cheng let go of his hand, sat down again, and introduced at the same time.
"Elves? Time reflow? Kurapika was stunned for a moment, but he was not a dull person after all, but he was still very smart, and he understood what was going on in an instant...... Tang Cheng suddenly made a move, not to deal with him, but to let himself know the ability of this elf named Shizaki Kurumi, and this kind of incredible thing is indeed easier to understand by himself.
"You mean she can restore my people to the time before they died?"
"Theoretically, of course, it works." The person who answered him was not Tang Cheng, but Kurumi, "There are at least two ways to resurrect your people, the first is to hit the bullet of time reflux in the eyes of your clan, so that they can go back to the past, and the second is to return to the past in a wide range of time, and return the place where your clan was killed to a few years ago, and of course, the people who died there will also be resurrected." ”
Kurapika frowned, he had already heard the meaning, "So actually? ”
"In fact, with my current strength, I can't do these two things, and if I want to let the dead go back to life, I'm afraid I have to exchange one life for another." Kurumi shrugged helplessly.
"Just now. And not the future? ”
"Sure enough, it's easy to communicate with smart people." Tang Cheng smiled and clapped his hands, "Maybe I didn't tell you, I'm not from this world, in my world, there are all kinds of strange abilities, and there are also ways to make people's abilities improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, just take me as an example, when I took the hunter exam, I wasn't much better than you." But now, I can easily beat you ten, so as long as you give more time for Kurumi to grow up to the point where he can resurrect your people, then your wish will be granted. ”
"How much time will that take?"
"I can't say for sure." Tang Cheng spread his hands, "And if I suddenly die on the way, Crazy San won't be able to live, so it's all in vain." ”
I see...... Hear here. Kurapika somewhat understood Tang Cheng's intentions.
"Okay, I'm okay with that explanation, but I have one last question." Kurapika nodded and said in a deep voice. "You're the commander of the Phantom Brigade, and you're not short of men, so it stands to reason that even if you don't kill me. There is no need to do this kind of process, why? ”
"You're thinking too complicated." Tang Cheng shook his head and said with a smile. "For me, there aren't so many whys in this world, almost everything can be explained in three words – I like it. Because I like it, I do it, and I don't need any reason other than that. ”
Kurapika stared at him for a long time, and in the face of Tang Cheng's pure eyes, he finally sighed as if admitting defeat, and then said: "I understand, since it has been said that this is the part, then, as long as you promise to resurrect my people one day, my life will be handed over to you!" ”
"Refreshing!" Tang Cheng clapped his hands, but there was an extra piece of paper in his hand like magic, and handed it to Kurapika, "Then sign this contract." ”
Indenture? Looks like you've been prepared for a long time, and you think I'm going to say yes?
Kurapika thought to himself, but at this time he would not regret it again, and immediately took it, but when he looked down, the expression on his face became extremely complicated, because the title of this contract was - Maid Contract.
"Why a maid contract?" The corners of Kurapika's mouth twitched, even if Tang Cheng was good, shouldn't he be a deacon and a butler?
"Because I've always wanted a blonde maid." Tang Cheng said as a matter of course.
"But I'm a man...... Ah, that's it! Kurapika couldn't understand the way of thinking of the person in front of him, and knew that it was completely useless to reason with him, so he sighed in his heart, and immediately looked at this maid contract seriously: I, Kurapika, will serve Tang Cheng's maid from today onwards, and swear to serve the master for life, never betray, and strive to become a perfect maid like Sixteen Nights Sakuya, and will sell cuteness and ability to the end, and when the master's power matures, he will resurrect his dead clansmen for the maid Kurapika, and if he violates this oath, he will be a sea bathing fish in the next life.
Oops, if I sign this contract, let alone my life, even my dignity as a human being will be sold...... Looking at such a terrible contract, Kurapika felt a chill, but when he thought that his people had the hope of resurrection, he finally suppressed the trembling of his body, took out a pen from his arms, and signed his name on the contract.
"Give!"
Then, with a bang, Kurapika hatefully smashed the contract in front of Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng took the contract, immediately put on the majesty of the master, and said in a deep voice: "Pika-chan, pay attention to your attitude, the maid who is fierce to the master is not a qualified maid, and besides, it is not enough to sign the contract, you also need to have enough loyalty." ”
"Loyalty? What's that? Kurapika frowned, of course he didn't know loyalty, but he didn't understand what this thing was for.
Tang Cheng explained: "I have just said, I am not from this world, I will leave after the trip to the Dark Continent, since you are my maid, of course you have to go together, but if your loyalty to me is less than 90, then you will not be able to go to my world, and then you will not be able to fulfill the duties of a maid." ”
"Is the loyalty numerical......" Kurapika can understand these words, "Then the full value should be a hundred, what is my loyalty to you now?" ”
Tang Cheng inquired in the personal panel, and then looked at Kurapika very melancholy, "Fortunately, it's not a negative number, but it's far from 90." ”
That's for sure, I don't want to be your maid, how can you have 90 loyalty...... Kurapika said in his heart, but he also felt that this was a problem, although he was not interested in the world where Tang Cheng was, but according to what he said just now, if he went to that world, he might not have to rely on Tang Cheng, and he might also be able to obtain the power of the resurrection clan, so it was still necessary to pass.
"So, how do I increase my loyalty to 90?"
"Well......" Tang Cheng thought for a while, "although I'm not sure, if you can obey me when I am in danger, and when my life is in danger, you can willingly die for me, it will probably be about the same." ”
"I see, that's easy." Originally, it was a difficult thing for a strong man, but Kurapika breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, raised his hand, and the chain made of his mental ability instantly inserted into his chest, and said in a deep voice, "Oath and constraint...... From today onwards, I will absolutely obey Tang Cheng's orders and protect him with my life, and if I break this oath, I will let the chains pierce my heart! ”
"Ugh!" After saying this, a trace of pain flashed on Kurapika's face, but he returned to normal in an instant, and his eyes looked at Tang Cheng, "What now?" ”
Tang Cheng checked his personal panel again, and even he didn't expect that the loyalty that was originally only in single digits had risen directly to 99, and he suddenly sighed, "Tsk, 99's loyalty, this is just like opening a hanging, it seems that you are extremely proficient in the use of oaths and constraints, but then again...... According to your oath and restrictions on the Phantom Brigade, as well as the strength of enforcement, after you make this oath, your loyalty should reach the full value, why is it a little less? ”
"The missing thing is probably my personal dislike for you." Kurapika said expressionlessly.
"Oh, I see, I hate me, but I have to risk my life to be my maid, you are quite hard, Pika-chan." Tang Cheng looked at the other party as if he was teasing, then changed his face like a book, and said sternly, "Although the preparations for going to the other world have been completed, there is one of the most important prerequisites if you want to be a qualified maid. ”
"What premise?" Kurapika said secretly: It's really troublesome.
"Of course it's ......" Tang Cheng grabbed it casually in the void, and there was already a white maid outfit in his hand, "How can a maid who doesn't wear a maid outfit be considered a maid, so let's start wearing it from today." ”
Tang Cheng raised his hand and threw the maid outfit over.
Kurapika instinctively took it in his hand, but the light maid seemed to have a weight like a mountain, so that he could barely speak, and his face was even more pale.
It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that Kurapika finally came back to his senses and said, "Open, open...... Are you kidding! This kind of thing ......"
"You can't refuse, you made an oath and constraints, if you don't wear it, you'll die." Tang Cheng looked at each other with a smile.
"You...... Count you ruthless! Kurapika gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, grabbed her maid suit and turned to the cabin.
"You bullied him like this, are you still not human?" After Kurapika disappeared from the deck, Spring poked his head out of the lookout and looked at Tang Cheng, full of disdain.
"I'm not human." Tang Cheng was not ashamed, but proud, "And don't you think it's funny." ”
"You're the only one who has this kind of bad taste, I'm not ...... at all," Spring pouted, but before she could finish speaking, her face changed suddenly.
"It's not good, there's a situation!" (To be continued......)
