Chapter 7: The Buying and Selling of Souls
PS: Thank you for the tip.
In a villa in Italy, a handsome middle-aged man in a crisp tuxedo collapsed drunk in the reception hall.
It's not quite right to say that he is drunk, at least this middle-aged man who smells of alcohol is still very conscious, although he really wants to be drunk and not wake up.
"dflaghaslf ......" the middle-aged man held the bottle and poured the amber-like liquor into the wine glass, and then the wine was sent into the stomach of the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man who drank the tens of thousands of dollars a bottle of wine suddenly slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and a series of wonderful Italian greetings squirted out of the middle-aged man's mouth, and the object of the middle-aged man's greeting was the middle-aged man's brother Siwens? Garman, father Rice? Garman.
Is the middle-aged man's name Seaforth? Gaman, a member of the Italian mafia Gaman family, is the patriarch of the Gaman family? Gaman's second son.
And his brother Siwens, who was born in an aristocratic family and has a noble blood? Gaman is different.
The aristocratic Seaforth? Garman has no aristocratic blood at all, Seaforths? Garman's mother was nothing more than a high-class courtesan in the social world.
The strength of the Garman family is considered good among the Italian mafia, but the Garman family is not an aristocratic family. Seaforth? Garman's Lao Tzu Rice? In order to improve the identity of the family and change the family's bloodline, Garman fanatically pursued Siwens? Gaman's mother, the maiden of a well-known noble family, was the eldest lady of a well-known aristocratic family in the city of Rome. In Rice? Under Gaman's fanatical pursuit, after several accidents killed other competitors, the girl fell and became the matriarch of the Garman family, and gave birth to the proud Siwens of the 100% noble blood flowing in the Garman family? Garman.
And his brother Siwens, who was born with a golden key and attracted the attention of the family? Garman is different, Seaforth? Garman is not a child recognized by the family, regardless of Siforth? How hard Garman worked, how brilliant. How much benefit did it bring to the family, but Seaforth? Gaman's identity as a courtesan is unlikely to change, Siforth? Garman won't be recognized by the family, Seaforth? Garman will always be just Rice? An illegitimate son of Garman, forever and forever just a dog of the family, the inheritance of the family, Seaforths? Garman never counts, who is called Siforth? Garman is nothing more than a hybrid born from the egg of a down-and-out high-class courtesan.
Seaforth? Garman is very hardworking and capable, and has made a lot of benefits for the family, hoping to make the family recognize himself through these achievements. Even if you don't have the right to inherit, just admit yourself, Seaforth? Garman grew up in the family and had a sense of belonging to the family.
But Siphos? Gaman's hopes were dashed, the family did not recognize the achievements of this poor courtesan, did not recognize him as a member of the family, an illegitimate child is an illegitimate child, how can he be recognized by the family, and now the Gaman family can also be regarded as a half aristocratic family. The heir of the family is only Siwens, who has noble blood? Garman.
Therefore, the social activities that can obtain social status and power are all Siwens? Gaman's.
And to give Siphos? Garman is running outside for the family, and anything that might offend other powerful forces or the government is Seaforth? Gaman's.
It's been more than thirty years. That hasn't changed, Seaforth? Garman has become desperate for the family, and for this reason, in the brother Siwens, who is not on good terms? Gaman was about to inherit the family before that. Seaforth? Garman is ready to make a little plan for his future, he can't run around for the family all his life, and starve to death on the streets when he is old.
And. Seaforth? Garman has offended a lot of powerful forces, and if he didn't have the protection of his family, he probably wouldn't even have the possibility of starving to death on the streets.
In Seaforth? What is Garman ready to do for himself when for Siforth? Very unfortunate for Garman to have happened, Seaforth? When Garman was young, he had a conflict with a French family for some of the interests of the family, and he greatly offended that family, and now that family has greatly increased its power with the support of some powerful forces. Of course, the French family is not so unreasonable, and when they make this request, they also attach some cooperation projects, which can get a lot of benefits. Very good project for the Garman family.
For Seaforth? Gaman is very unfortunate news, but it is very good news for the Gaman family, trading an illegitimate child for the friendship of a powerful family plus a lot of benefits. What not to do in Siwens? Driven by Garman, in Rice? With Gaman's acquiescence, Seaforth? Garman was sold by the family.
Tomorrow is Siphos? The day Gaman was given to the French family, tonight, Siforth? Garman wanted to get drunk very much, but he drank a lot of wine, but he couldn't get drunk.
Seaforth? It's not that Garman didn't think about resisting, but was it useful, Siforth? Garman's men were the family's men first, and Sifus second? Gaman's men.
Seaforth? Garman didn't think about recruiting some of his men, but in his brother Sywens? Under Gaman's suppression, Seaforth? What can Garman do again, Siforth? It's not that Gaman doesn't have money, but these money, which seems to be a lot of wealth to ordinary people, is really nothing to the Gaman family.
If you don't have enough money, you can't have power, if you don't have enough money, you can't buy important people in the family, and if you don't have enough money, you can't win the support of other families.
And there is not enough time, tomorrow, tomorrow Seaforth? Garman was about to be given to the French family, and at that time, it would be best to be able to die.
"Dalsa ............" once again wonderful greetings from Seaforth? Garman's mouth came out, and the subject was still Savins? Garman, Rice? Garman.
Seaforth? Garman was very unwilling, he had fought for his family for so long, and he had seized so many benefits for his family, so he was sold by his family, even if the French family bid well, but the wealth he created for the family was more than ten times that of this price.
Seaforth? Garman was angry, angry at the family, angry at his brother Siwens? Garman, father Rice? Garman's anger, his anger at his fate.
But Siphos? Gaman doesn't have the slightest solution, desperate Siphos? Garman can only find drunk. Hopefully I can die drunk here.
I don't know who will be cheaper after tomorrow for my villa. Sifoss who blew directly with a wine bottle? Garman. Thought with a wry smile.
"Are you unwilling, don't you want to die, do you want to have strength, as long as you sell your soul, you can get, powerful power, power that can change your fate. Do you want to trade, at the cost of your soul after death, in exchange for the amount of power that can change your fate. "In Seaforth? Garman pursued a drunken dream when he died when a voice came from Seaforth? Garman rang behind him.
"Orientals. How did you get here, there are more than 40 gunners outside, all of them are good elites, how did you get in, can you tell me about it? "Siforth who heard the voice? Garman quickly turned and drew his gun, less than a second, Siforth? Garman pointed his pistol at the eyebrows of Makoto Ito, who came behind him, and saw Makoto Ito's Oriental face, Sifus? Garman asked.
There are no Orientals in the family. That family in France is also a racist, so this Oriental was not sent by them, and this Oriental is so strong that he can escape my perception. Even after a little drinking, I am the most powerful gunslinger in the Garman family, otherwise, where would I need more than 40 elites in the family to come and see me. If you can get in, you will definitely be able to get out. Perhaps I can escape this dead knot with the help of this Oriental.
Siphos pointing a pistol at Makoto Ito? Garman, thinking quickly.
"Is it hard to get in here, don't talk about this. How about my proposal just now, exchanging my soul for strength," Makoto Ito, smiling, looked at Seaforth seriously? Garman said, and after speaking, looked at Siforth? The Black Star pistol in Gaman's hand continued with a little dissatisfaction: "By the way, although these technological weapons are useless to me, there is always a little unpleasantness when they are pointed at him, and you should not mind ruining him." ”
Mysterious people, no wonder to souls. Looking at the pistol in his hand that quickly turned to ashes, Siphos? Garman thought with a wry smile.
Mystical human horrors, Siphos? Garman understands that the Garman family once had very bad luck in a transaction, and encountered a mysterious big man, and hundreds of elite gunners on both sides were all dead. In order to find out about this matter, the Garman family donated a lot of money to the Roman Orthodox Church, only to learn about the mysterious matter.
"Soul, my lord, can you trade it for something else?" After the pistol was annihilated, Seaforth? Gaman knew that no matter what he did, it would be useless, so he relaxed his vigilance and asked Ito Makoto with a wry smile.
The soul is too hurtful, who knows what the consequences will be after the soul of the Dao Dao is sold. Seaforth? Garman had to be careful.
"Do you have anything to trade other than your soul, not to mention money or anything, these things are completely useless to me." A cold glance at Siforth? Gaman, Ito asked with a smile on his face.
The soul, only the soul, is what Ito Makoto needs, and apart from this, Ito Makoto doesn't need anything now.
"My lord, you need souls, I can bring you a lot of souls, and there are a lot of people who die at the hands of the family every year. As long as the adults can help me and let me take over the Garman family, I will definitely have no less soul. "Heard Makoto Ito's words, Seaforth? Garman thought for a moment and said in a low voice.
"You're kidding, if I could use such a soul, I wouldn't have to bother. Listen up. ”
"First, the trading partner knows that he is trading his soul. Any misrepresentation of the content of the transaction with deception, fraud, concealment, language traps, etc., will result in the invalidation of the transaction. ”
"2. There was no coercion at the time of the transaction. Transactions that oppress, coerce, etc., are also invalid. ”
"3. The counterparty agreed to the transaction from the bottom of his heart. There is an act of using mind control, hypnosis, magic methods, scientific methods, etc., to control the speech and spirit of the business partner, so that the business partner agrees that the transaction is invalid. ”
"4. A transaction that violates the terms of the transaction is not established. For example, if you agree to exchange your soul for a lot of power, but you don't give the other party a lot of power, or if the amount of power you give doesn't match, the transaction will be invalid. ”
"In such a situation, do you still think you can give me the souls of other people?"
Looking at Siforth? Garman, Makoto Ito said sarcastically.
"Is that all there is to you?" Hearing Makoto Ito speak in a tone that bordered on mockery, Siphos? Gaman was not angry, nor did he dare to be angry. Instead, he thought about it seriously, and then stared at Makoto Ito tightly and asked.
"Oh, you have a way, that's right, just these conditions, as long as the soul meets these conditions, it can be traded." Looking at Siforth? Garman's serious expression, Ito Makoto also seemed to be a little interested, smiling at Sifus? Garman said.
"So, my lord, how many souls do I have to get before I can get your help. Or how many souls do I have to get to be able to get the power of power, to get the power of power that can change my fate. "Heard Makoto Ito's words, Seaforth? Garman closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then looked at Makoto Ito with a feverish look on his face with great ambition and asked.
"It depends on what level of strength you want, one against ten, one against a hundred, one against a thousand, ten thousand against the world, the strongest level in this world, the strength of the saint level, or the power of the godhead level. The price of different forces is completely different. "Looking at Siphos, with the flame of desire in his eyes and the breath of great ambition in his body? Gaman, Makoto Ito smiled. Smiling happily at Seaforth? Garman said.
Ito doesn't hate ambitious people, as long as this ambition doesn't affect him. Where there is ambition, there is motivation, and this is the foundation of human progress.
"The strongest. I want the strongest godhead-level power, then, my lord, this is the strongest power. How many souls to take. "Siforth? Garman gasped and asked Ito Makoto with a trembling body. It's exciting, it's exciting.
"3000 souls. As long as you can help me acquire 3,000 souls, then the gift of godhead is yours. "Looking at the excited Siforth? Garman, Makoto Ito said seriously.
"3,000 souls, no problem, but, my lord, you have also seen that my current situation in the family is embarrassing, for the sake of my lord's business, can I have this god-level power first. Of course, I will definitely give the soul to the adults. "Siforth? Garman rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, looked at Makoto Ito and said calmly in an embarrassed tone.
"On credit, then so be it, owe this contract, and I will give you the gift of Godhead." Hear Siforth? Gaman's words, Makoto Ito was not surprised, after all, Seaforth? Gaman's situation Ito Makoto also knows very well, so Ito Makoto flicked his fingers, and a pink contract document appeared in Seaforth? In Gaman's hand, Makoto Ito pointed to the contract document and pointed to Siphos? Garman said.
"The contract:
Seaforth? Gaman used his soul as collateral to obtain a godhead gift on credit from Makoto Ito.
When Seaforth? At the same time that Gaman handed over the souls of 3,000 people to Makoto Ito,
Seaforth? Ownership of Gaman's soul reverted to Siphos? Garman.
Such as Siforth? Gaman did not give Makoto Ito 3,000 souls before he died,
When Seaforth? After Garman's death, Seaforth? Gaman's soul belongs to Makoto Ito.
Contract. ”
"What Ito-sama means." Looking at the contract paper in his hand, Seaforth? Garman asked, a little puzzled.
"The empty glove white wolf is not good with me, you can't provide three thousand souls now, it doesn't matter, I can wait, but, I will give you the strength to always have some protection, the only thing I look at on you is the soul, so I have to use your soul as a guarantee, rest assured, you have also read the contract, if you can really provide three thousand souls, you have nothing to fear, isn't it, if you can't provide three thousand souls, I gave you strength, It is also as it should be to take over your soul. "Facing Siforth? Gaman's question, Ito Makoto explained with a smile.
If it weren't for Siphos? Gaman's proposal made Makoto Ito a little intrigued, and Makoto Ito would not have wasted time here, after all, except for Seaforth? In addition to Gaman, there are many souls mourning, which is an asset for Makoto Ito. It seems that Makoto Ito is becoming more and more like a demon who abducts souls and deceives the world.
"Ito-sama, it's my soul no matter what, isn't it?" Looking at the contract papers, Seaforth? Garman hesitated.
"Or maybe you're not sure, and you're just trying to get a lot of power out of me. I don't mean to buy souls for me at all, well, if you do, I'll make you very sad. "See Siforth? Gaman's hesitant look, Ito Makoto was dissatisfied, and glared at Sifus coldly? Garman glanced at it and said with a smile.
"How so. Lord Ito, you have to trust my credibility, I will sign this contract, I will sign it immediately. "That glance at Makoto Ito, let Seaforth? Garman saw hell and saw the end of the world, so that Siphos? Gaman knows that Makoto Ito is not a good gentleman, but a demon who buys human souls, and Siphos who was scared in? Garman. He said loudly in a cold sweat.
In Seaforth? The moment Gaman's words fell, the contract document disappeared and changed into a circular stamp the size of a coin, which slowly floated to Siphos? Gaman's hand.
"It is." Holding a circular stamp, Seaforth? Gaman asked, looking at Makoto Ito puzzled.
"Press this gift to your chest, and you'll get a godhead gift, a Cthulhu god's gift." See Siforth? Garman signed the contract, and Makoto Ito smiled with satisfaction, and said kindly to Siforth? Garman said.
So. Even if it is Seaforth? Garman couldn't raise three thousand souls, but Seaforth? Garman's soul alone is also good, you must know that everything in the Tao is accumulated in small amounts. Makoto Ito is also like this, one by one, slowly collecting the souls of almost 8,000 people, which is really not easy.
Said something that sounds good and is not true. A thousand birds in the forest are not as good as a bird in hand, Seaforths? Garman owes the contract, so even if it is Seaforth? It doesn't matter if Garman can't raise a soul, how to say that this time he didn't run in vain. Isn't it.
"Is this the amount of power!!" Hearing Makoto Ito's words, Seaforths? Garman pressed the bounty to his chest, and the round stamp was in Siphos? Garman's chest vanished. Blended into Seaforth? Garman's body, feeling the powerful force in his body, Seaforth? Garman said with emotion.
After that, Seaforth? Several golden tentacles emerged from Gaman's body, stabbing the earth into several deep holes.
Feel the tentacles as if they were piercing into the water, moving through the earth, feeling the power of the tentacles, Siphos? Garman smiled with satisfaction.
"Now you haven't exerted one-tenth of the power of this god-level gift [Cthulhu Divine Gift], but even so, the technological weapon basically has no effect on you, and ordinary saints can't beat you, this power is enough for you to hold the entire Garman family in your hands, then, take advantage of the acquisition of souls, after all, your strength is worth 3,000 souls." Looking at the new force and excited to test the force of the Siphos? Garman, Makoto Ito said with a smile.
"It's so powerful in less than a tenth of it, so what if you exert all your strength." Hearing Makoto Ito's words, Seaforths? Garman was even happier and asked Makoto Ito excitedly.
"Destroy Rome in an instant. When the contract document flashes, it means that the contractor is qualified to sign the contract, and when the contract document turns into light and shoots into the other party's body, it means that the contract has been established, and then you can get the other party's soul after the other party's death according to the content of the contract, when you successfully let 3,000 people sign the contract and fulfill their last wish, I will return the ownership of your soul to you, if you can get more souls, I don't mind giving you a little extra reward, that's all. ”
Looking at the excited Seaforth? Gaman, Makoto Ito shook his head, feeling that the other party seemed to be too composed, however, this has nothing to do with Makoto Ito, Makoto Ito made a move, and a gift card containing 5,000 contract documents appeared in Seaforth? In Garman's hands, looking at Siphos, who was a little overwhelmed by the gift card? Gaman, Makoto Ito said patiently.
"Yes, Ito-sama, I'm Siphos? Gaman will not disappoint you. "Woke up from the excitement of getting the strength of the force, Seaforth? Gaman reassured Makoto politely and politely.
"Oh, this gift card can hold some things, it can facilitate life, and each contract document comes with a gift, strong and weak, you can look at it." Makoto Ito, who was about to leave here, suddenly thought of something, and turned his head to Siphos, who was sending him off? Gaman said, and after that, Ito disappeared into the villa.
"Brother, father. You didn't expect me to have such an adventure. "Seaforth with countless golden tentacles floating behind him? Garman said with a maniacing laugh. (To be continued......)
