Chapter 17: The Two-Faced Pact (Part I)
"Before the church was founded, the earth was a hunting ground for gods and demons, and they both collected the souls they needed. After the establishment of the church, some people mastered magic, and only then did they have the power to protect themselves, and the phenomenon of humans being hunted all the time was stopped. ”
"It's all about hunting souls, why are demon hunters so hostile to demons?" Qiu Cheng asked puzzled.
"Perfect souls are rarer than sinful souls, only one out of ten people is a perfect soul, and the remaining nine are sinful souls. The uncle explained, "The way demons and gods hunt souls is also different, demons are simple and rude, and they kill people directly, and in the past, things like slaughtering villages happened from time to time. ”
As for the gods, they are much more tactful, in the name of bringing you to wash your soul, so that you can be taken away by the gods voluntarily, so that the perfect soul is perfect enough. ”
It was chosen and favored by God, and almost no one would refuse. The uncle's tone was sarcastic, "It is precisely in this way that human beings think that the gods are the embodiment of goodness and justice, and worship them as angels, but in fact, they are as dirty and ugly as demons." ”
Qiu Cheng was shocked in his heart, his worldview today can be said to have been completely shattered and rebuilt, and the gods that have always been believed in by people are as evil as demons, I don't know how his followers will feel if they know it.
"Then the demon hunter doesn't know?" Qiu Cheng continued to ask.
That's where God's genius comes in. Uncle continued, "Humans are regarded by gods and demons as the most despicable race, too lowly to be worthy of magic. ”
"When the demons found out that the people of the church had some magic, they were ready to kill them all, and it was God who protected them and gave them some more powerful magic. ”
"If you're not mistaken, these spells are specifically for dealing with demons, right?" Qiu Cheng said.
"Clever. The uncle smiled, "From now on, the church has become God's little brother in the world, destroying the demons and demonic spirits that walk in the world." ”
Qiu Cheng now finally understood the meaning of what the Demon Lord had said to him: Demon hunters, some mortals abandoned by the gods.
"You said you wanted to help me before, how can you help?" Qiu Cheng couldn't be sure what the uncle wanted to do after telling him so much.
"I'll help you harness the power of the contract. The uncle said, "In this way, although you still have to provide the demon lord with three evil souls every day, it is up to you to decide who to kill." That way, you won't kill innocents indiscriminately, just like the boy last time, he could have survived. ”
"The power to control the contract ......" Qiu Cheng was a little moved.
"Can't you help me break the contract?"
"Of course not. The uncle shook his head, "Once the contract is established, it must be carried on forever, and no one can stop it." ”
"Boy, it's good to be able to control the power that the contract gives you, you know, in this world, if you want to be rewarded, you must first have to pay. Uncle said.
Qiu Cheng thought for a moment and then said, "I know, what do you need me to do if you control the power of the contract?"
"It's easy. The uncle smiled slightly, "Sign a contract with me and become my pact!"
"Be my pact, and I'll give this to you. The uncle spread out his right hand, and a bright white flame danced on his palm again.
"With him, you have the strength to fight Hellfire, just like you did last night. ”
"Yes...... I am already the Demon Lord's Covenant Spirit, can I still become your Covenant Spirit?" Qiu Cheng asked.
"No one else can do it, but you can. The uncle replied, "Qiu Cheng, you are a very special person, you not only have a special body, but also a special soul. These are the capital that you can bear the power of the two contracts. And, you already made it once last night, didn't you?"
Qiu Cheng frowned when he heard this, thinking of the pain of tearing his body last night.
"You were experimenting with me yesterday?" Qiu Cheng's tone instantly became low, "Do you know that I almost died last night!"
"Hey, don't say that, you survived after all, aren't you dead!" the uncle smiled.
"What do you need me to do for you?" Qiu Cheng asked with a deep breath, "You also want me to help you collect souls?"
"You kid has a pretty strong comprehension ability!" the uncle laughed.
"Isn't that what you just said? If you want to be rewarded, you have to give first, and I don't think you're a selfless and helpful guy. Qiu Cheng shrugged.
"What I asked you to do is very simple, you don't have to collect souls, you just need to help me go to hell and get something. Uncle said.
"Why don't you go to hell to get something?" Qiu Cheng frowned.
"I can't get into that place, only you can get in. Qiu Cheng, you are a special person, from body to soul. The uncle stretched out his index finger and pointed at Qiu Cheng's chest.
"Don't beat around the bush, what the hell do you want, just say it!" Qiu Cheng knocked off the uncle's outstretched hand.
"A flower, a flower that grows in the extreme cold of hell. The uncle replied.
"As long as I bring you the flowers, the contract between us will be terminated?"
The uncle nodded: "But don't worry, even if the contract is terminated, the power is still yours, and I will write this in the contract, how about it?"
Qiu Cheng fell into deep thought when he heard this, if he didn't sign a contract with his uncle, he would become a demon every day in the future, and live a life that was worse than death.
He didn't want to live like that anymore, he wanted to be himself, to control that power, not to let that power control him.
Although the content of the uncle's contract is very simple, just let himself go to hell to pick a flower, he believes that this matter is definitely not so easy to complete.
But what if it was dangerous? It was nothing more than death, and his life was more painful than death.
"I'll do it!" After a moment, Qiu Cheng nodded.
"Clever kid. The uncle smiled, "I'll start writing the contract." ”
I saw the uncle raise his right hand, and a bright white flame burned in the void.
Soon, the flames burned out, and a yellowed piece of paper floated in the void.
"Check it to see if there are any errors in the content of the contract, and if there are mistakes, I will correct them. The uncle's right hand gently pushed, and the contract came to Qiu Cheng.
Qiu Cheng saw the dense, hooked, tadpole-like unfamiliar words on the contract, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Check the fart!
What is the language of this special?
These words know me, I don't know them!
"No, I trust you. Qiu Cheng said.
"Then according to the handprint, the contract is established. Uncle smiled.
