Chapter 109: Performance of the Contract
Upon exiting the passageway, D-13714's first action was to aim at the masked statue of the Faceling in the plaza.
However, after raising the gun, he felt that his action might be a bit silly......
He didn't dare to shoot at the first place - the order from the organization included stopping the incident and containing the anomaly, but there was absolutely no indication of under which circumstances the anomaly would be allowed to fail.
So the guns that are now raised do nothing but expose their hostility and threats, and they don't seem to have any real effect.
If it's a threat to it.
With his gun in both hands, he locked onto the statue with precision at three points and one line, staring at any possible traps under his feet, getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, a voice rang out of Zai's headβit was some kind of noise, similar to the sound that came from an old TV screen when the signal was bad.
Realizing that the other party was invading his brain with strange powers, D-13714 seemed to be pouring cold water from his head.
He pulled the trigger almost without thinking.
He knew what it was.
The frequency of the trigger pulling at this moment far exceeded the average of ordinary people, and four bullets were fired out of the chamber in an instant, and the recoil from this pistol at this moment could completely cause a comminuted fracture of a person's hand bones.
- Now, fuck the rules!
He will never forget what he once did under the bewitchment of this voice that he will never forget.
A family that could have been perfect is shattered by this, and the tragedy happens like a series of absurdist jokes that are connected together.
That kind of being controlled, and that kind of regret...... He never wanted to experience it a second time.
He tried to empty his mind of thinking about anything, thinking that if he did, the thinking creature that had controlled it seven years ago would not be able to parasitize his logic.
The four bullets that were discharged condensed strangely in mid-air.
The bullet also had a flame tail trailing at its end, and even the broken air could be seen with the naked eye.
When he completely cleared his mind, the voice seemed to have finally found a channel, completing the connection with the language in his head.
"What do you have to lose?" It's like he's saying to himself, "What else can I get from you?" β
In a trance, an array of images appeared in his mind: everything he lost before entering prison, and the pictures of himself in a daze during the seven years he entered prison.
So what else is there to worry about......
It seems that there is only this life.
But if what the other party wants is his life...... Whether it was seven years ago, or just now.
The other party can take it completely, and he can hardly resist.
A chuckle came from the voice in my head: "I'm here to fulfill my promise." β
"Are you ready? The devil's refuge is coming. β
The voice seemed extremely frivolous when it floated in his head, but every word of it seemed extremely solemn.
"It's a fair deal to take a good for an evil, and if you don't consider the ethics of your human beings, it stands to reason that you shouldn't resent me."
"You can only blame them for the deal they made with me." Apparently sensing the boundless hatred coming from D-13714's emotions, the owner of the voice was able to explain the anomaly in a rare tone.
Then it introduced itself, imitating the unique tone of the human aristocracy, "So, young gentleman, may I introduce myself, contemptible Agon?" Pandora is a devil who believes in the knightly creed and the Seven Virtues. β
"Anyone who makes a deal with me, as long as it does not violate the extremely concise items in it, the relevant breach of contract regulations will naturally not take effect."
"Madame Zun is a dishonest person, so she will naturally be punished accordingly - may she be repented in hell."
"But Ling Zun is a worthy knight, and according to my contract with him, your safety will be guaranteed in the days to come."
"According to the human lifespan and level...... Tsk...... "It seems to sigh again" A hundred years is enough for you to be happy. β
However, thinking of the terrifying existence that flashed before, this complacental word came to an abrupt end halfway through.
D-13714 responds with deathly silence.
He just put the muzzle of his gun to his temple - if his death could take the devil away, then ......
"Your father wants you to live." As if seeing his crazy moves, the devil opened his mouth to be a weighty persuasion, but he unhurriedly wrapped a layer of gum on the muzzle of the gun.
Its almost demagogic persuasion caused D-13714 to feel a little "This is what my father wants." Thoughts like that.
He remembered the small line he had seen earlier at the bottom of the bowl.
"Live."
So...... What should I do, what should I do?
D-13714 felt very clearly at this moment that he seemed to be split into two egos, one of which was a cowardly self who had been making excuses for the continuation of his life, and the other was full of hatred, almost a literal rage that burned him and the devil he had imagined.
"If you don't know what to do, just put the gun down first, and we can talk about future cooperation." The devil has sent a new olive branch.
However, D-13714 pulls the trigger directly.
He just wants this devil to die.
The sound of the gun shook from the handle of the gun to the bones of his hand, causing severe pain, at least proving that the shot was not muted.
But before the bullet could reach his temple, the muzzle of the muzzle wrapped the bullet into a harmless bouncy ball.
The result of this shot was only a layer of mint-flavored plasticine applied to his temple, and the bullet stood erect on the surface of the gelatinous like a cluster of dandelions growing out of it.
"Aha! Are you calmer now? It was still the devil's flirtatious voice, but with a hint of mockery, which made its already mocking voice even better.
The empty pistol slipped to the ground in his feeble grip, and two crisp thuds fell.
"What do you want?" This was the first time I had communicated with this being since I could remember.
"Fulfill the promise." Agon said casually, "Your father is a very clever businessman. β
"He fought for the biggest chips when he knew he didn't have a choice...... Or even opened up another path. β
The devil talks about his father wantonly, and D-13714 unconsciously purrs like a feline in his throat.
At this point, he should probably yell "Shut up!" β
However, after shouting out, he will only bring humiliation on himself, of course he knows.
"That's the only loss-making business I've ever had." The statue that Agon had previously possessed, holding two objects in both hands, assumed a gesture of spreading his hands: "That kind of person deserves to let him go to heaven and make trouble for God." β
"Do you want to know about the dealings your father and your mother made with me?" The statue winked playfully.
D-13714 did not remain silent, but simply said to it, "No, what did my father leave me?" β
His expressions and detailed movements are well done, and if you are a human, you will inevitably think that this person is just indifferent, and maybe you will feel that he is cold-blooded.
But for a devil who can read the hearts of men, his mind cannot be hidden.
The human was holding back, even though his heart was bleeding.
"Three requirements: The first one is to ask me to protect you, from the beginning."
"The second request, if you wish, can ask me to teach you some skills, but according to your father's wishes, he wants me to teach you how to do business."
"After all, a devil can bring down a Wall Street, but, of course, if you want to learn something other than business, I don't mind."
"The third request, which your father left for you - it was my most loss-making transaction, giving another person a random contract for free."
It shouted pompously, as if wishing the whole world knew that a demon had planted a mark on humanity.
A black mist floats out of the statue's body as it speaks, and finally envelops D-13714.
"Now, I am one with you for a long time until your normal death, and I give you a greeting gift...... Ah, maybe it's a gift after a long absence, this is what you've organized into an SCP. β
"It's a thing that is more suitable for me, and I don't have a problem with whether you choose to run away with this thing or turn it in."
