Chapter 7 Contracts
Carter's Demon King's deal isn't going to make Carter the Demon King, but why...... So now I have inherited Karn's identity, doesn't that mean...... Gu Yuan was full of thoughts for a while. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After a long time, he looked at the devil and said directly: "What do you want to trade with me, what is the demon king, what deal did you propose to Carter, you might as well say it directly." ”
The devil smiled and took a sip of his drink, "I want you to sign a contract with me, and that's what I call a deal." As for the contract, all I can say is that the contract between you and Mr. Carter is exactly the same. And after you sign this contract, you are likely to become one of those legendary demon kings, of course, not necessarily. But well...... All the Demon Kings in the history of Demonia have signed this contract. ”
A worn-out leather scroll appeared on the desktop directly in front of Gu Yuan, and in addition to that, there was a somewhat strange pen, Gu Yuan picked up the scroll, and there was only one sentence written on the scroll in blood-red and twisted words
[I swear an oath against the gods]
Although Gu Yuan had never seen this strange and distorted text, its meaning clearly appeared in Gu Yuan's mind the moment Gu Yuan saw it, and this feeling was very weird.
"Is this a contract?" Gu Yuan looked at this sentence on the scroll, his brows furrowed slightly, this simple sentence, this can't be called a contract. There is no liability for breach of contract or anything like that, and there is no responsibility and rights due to both parties. And the content of this sentence is very scary from a certain point of view.
Gu Yuan also understood why Carter rejected the devil, and this sentence was enough. Are you afraid that the Holy See will put your whole family on the barbecue grill and make a bucket to purify the whole family?
The devil nodded, "That's right, this is the contract." All you need to do is write your name under this line, which means that your fate and Carter are out of the hands of the rules of the world. You don't have to worry about your strange fate, which has been repeated 6 times and could last forever. I don't think Your Excellency will refuse this condition. ”
Indeed, if you can really get rid of the cycle of death that is repeated but cannot be changed, you can refuse it yourself. But...... Can you really believe in the devil, the corpse of the girl who had been transformed by the tentacle monster that attacked him before was still not far behind him, and her face was quiet and peaceful, as if she was in a sweet dream that would never wake up.
Who knows if after signing this contract will lead to a new hell, even more painful than the endless death and rebirth.
"I still have a few questions, why did I cross over, why did you find Carter to sign this contract and not others?" Gu Yuan stared at the devil's empty book eyes and asked, asking the previous question because the devil had only explained why he had suffered misery after every time he crossed, but he had not explained the root cause of his crossing. And ask the latter question because no matter how you look at this contract, it is not ordinary, and just now the devil has been staring at himself or the original owner of the body, Carter, since he appeared.
"I don't know. The devil replied decisively and directly, and then spread his hands: "As for why you signed a contract with Mr. Carter...... This brings us to Mr. Carter's mother, Ice Whisper, who qualified Carter to sign the contract. As for the specific situation, it's another contract, and it's not convenient for me to divulge the contract information due to some of our rules. ”
"What can I get after signing the contract, and what will I give?" If he signed this contract so that he could change his fate, then what did the devil say to Carter when he proposed to sign this contract, he couldn't just let him sign this thing that a normal person could not sign for no reason, he would definitely promise him something, and this thing was at least superficially worth the same as this contract.
Gu Yuan flashed some memories of Carter in his mind, although this young master was a waste material in terms of combat effectiveness, he was still very interested in some legends on the mainland.
The devil is the enemy of the gods as much as the devil. But unlike the demons who can't communicate with chaos and rage, and want to destroy everything. The devil behaves in a way that is more orderly or treacherous, and is synonymous with hypocrisy. Demons love to see the destruction of beauty, while demons prefer to see the fall of beauty. The devil usually likes to give their chosen trade partners a seemingly equal contract, and eventually watch them slowly lead to destruction...... In this way, they will satisfy their natural bad tastes and take away their souls.
From ancient times to the present, whether it is in the mouth of bards or in third-rate knight novels, there is no shortage of old-fashioned tragic stories of noble and handsome knights, in order to save their lovers, sign a contract with the devil, and finally degenerate themselves into devil's servants. It can be seen that the image of this race is also deeply rooted in some aspects. Although the propaganda role of the Holy See cannot be ruled out, in short, the devil must not have any good intentions......
"There is no doubt that you and Mr. Carter have a serious misunderstanding of what we know. The devil took a sip of the unknown liquid in the cup, and said indifferently, his empty eyes blinked as if he could see through everything in Gu Yuan's heart, okay, the devil also has the ability to read minds, which was not mentioned in the legends that Carter had heard.
"After signing the contract, I can change your talents, both mentally and physically, and that's what was originally given to Mr. Carter. As for what it will cost, you will always be rejected by the power of the gods, and when your power reaches a certain level, you will always be on the opposite side of the gods. That's all I can say, it's impossible to be killed by the gods as you fear. Besides, I don't think you can say no. Mr. Gu Yuan, we are running out of time. ”
The devil smiled, and the moment he finished his last sentence, his body gradually began to become transparent, and even the table in front of him began to blur.
The devil is right, as long as you can get rid of the nightmare of constantly dying and resurrecting, even if there is a chance to try it yourself, the feeling that you don't want to start all over again, the endless cold nothingness after death, the sharp pain of the soul being torn apart when you are reborn.
Picking up the strange quill made of unknown materials, the cold touch instantly spread from the fingers to the whole body, the tip of the pen slowly swiped across the scroll, I don't know if it was an illusion that his soul seemed to tremble with the slide of the nib, and the tip of the pen crossed the last stroke.
Gu Yuan suddenly felt an indescribable sense of comfort coming from his body, and his soul was cheering. Faintly, he seemed to hear the click of scissors.
Looking at the scroll in front of him, there was a black Chinese character clearly printed under the unknown strange text - Gu Yuan.
It seems like it's been a long time since I've written my name. Gu Yuan suddenly felt some emotion in his heart. Do you have a chance to return to Earth one day?
