Chapter 66: Two Kinds of Contracts
"So, don't go near it, got it?" Sylvie said.
Su Ming nodded vigorously: "Understood." ”
"Okay, then let's go out first, and you two can talk to yourselves."
"Huh? Aren't you listening? Su Ming wondered.
Sylvie paused: "There are some things that demons like to talk about alone with others. ”
After saying this, Sylvie went out with the group of scientists, and in the huge space, only Su Ming and Xia Xiaoyu were left, plus a demon.
Su Ming sat down in front of the console, adjusted the microphone, and said, "Hello, demon." ”
"Hello, so are you. Congratulations, you've finally found someone to see you. The Demon of Love looked at Xia Xiaoyu, and it said this to Xia Xiaoyu.
Su Ming was not surprised, because ordinary monsters could see Xia Xiaoyu, and it was not surprising that demons could see Xia Xiaoyu.
"You know it? Didn't you say you hadn't been here? Su Ming asked.
Xia Xiaoyu shook her head with a serious expression: "I really haven't been here, it may have heard me from other containment objects." Su Ming, I want to remind you that human beings and demons have different minds, they are not human beings, you have to keep this in mind. ”
"I know, I can feel it's dangerous." Su Ming muttered.
When he was in the elevator before, he felt a strong sense of crisis.
The things below the ninety floors underground are all extremely dangerous things, and if they weren't all imprisoned, I'm afraid that super instinct would have made him escape.
In addition, Su Ming also felt that the demon in front of him was very weak, and his current state was not at his peak at all.
"Is there anything you want to ask me?" The Demon of Love took the initiative to speak.
Su Ming was silent.
He was thinking.
In fact, there are not many things that can make him ask, about the knowledge of demons, you can ask Xia Xiaoyu later, too common sense things to ask, but it is easy to expose his identity as a traverser.
"Hmm...... I would like to ask, how can you kill demons like you efficiently? ”
As soon as the words came out, Xia Xiaoyu next to him was stunned, and the demon of love was also stunned.
After a few seconds of silence, the Demon of Love sneered a few times and replied, "I don't know, in general, we all study how to kill humans, and we don't think about how to kill ourselves. ”
"And what are you afraid of?"
“…… We are afraid of humans, but we also like humans, is there anything else you want to ask about this? "The Demon of Love
"To be honest, I don't want to ask you, let's talk to you about Xia Xiaoyu."
"Me?! Why did you suddenly talk about me? Xia Xiaoyu said with a panicked expression.
The Demon of Love smiled, "She's an interesting human, and there are a lot of weird people here who are counting on her to help." ”
"Looks like she didn't help in the end."
"How can I help! Although I am quite lonely, I can still tell what I can do and what I can't do! Xia Xiaoyu said depressedly.
So Su Ming asked the Demon of Love again: "If I make a contract with you, what kind of power can you give me?" ”
"I can give you the power to charm other people, to turn them into marionettes in your hands, and I can also give you the skill to use love as fuel in exchange for power. If you want to exchange, all you need is one sentence...... Just give me an arm. ”
"It doesn't feel very strong, either."
"If you can use it properly, it will be very strong. If you're willing to pay a little more, then I'll give you the power to control the entire Bureau of Investigation. The demon of love smirked.
"Su Ming, don't listen to it! It just wants to get out. Xia Xiaoyu reminded on the side, "Now it's weak, but if you make a contract with him, it may gain the strength to break through here." ”
"I know, I'm not going to make a contract with it, I just want to see how much I'm worth." Su Ming spread his hands indifferently.
"Hehe, you are very rare in our eyes, your fragrance ......" the Demon of Love took a deep breath, "I'm sure no demon will be able to refuse." ”
"Then can I use my fingernails to make a contract with you?"
"Absolutely." The demon of love said without thinking.
"Is that okay?!" Su Ming was taken aback.
Xia Xiaoyu, who was beside him, touched Su Ming's waist with his elbow and reminded: "Don't mess around, your giving your nails to the demon is not an ordinary gift, but an exchange, if you give your nails to it, then you will never be able to grow nails in the future." ”
So that's the case, that's really dangerous, Su Ming thought to himself.
"I don't want that way of trading, we can change it, for example, I can establish a temporary contract with you." The Demon of Love changed his tune.
Su Ming cast an inquiring look at Xia Xiaoyu, and Xia Xiaoyu immediately understood and explained:
"Temporary contracts are made with flesh and blood, and the difference between them and ordinary contracts is that the lost areas can be regrown.
The transaction content of an ordinary contract often refers to a conceptual thing, while the transaction content of a temporary contract is generally only a real substance.
To take the simplest example, do you know the S-class reborn? At this level, even if there is only one head left, the body will recover quickly.
Suppose there is such a reborn person, who has signed an ordinary contract with the demon and dedicates his left hand to the demon, then his lost left hand will never grow back, and even if an identical arm is completely cultivated with advanced biotechnology, it will not be usable if it is transplanted, and will only slowly decay.
As long as the contractor signs an ordinary contract, the limb that has been taken away is really taken away, and it cannot grow back in any way.
But the temporary contract is different, if the reborn and the demon sign a temporary contract, then only the flesh and blood of their own arm will be sacrificed, not the 'existence' of the arm, so after losing the arm, it can grow back in a short time.
Knowing these two contracts, it is necessary to explain what they mean to the devil.
In ordinary contracts, the demon obtains a continuous and long-lasting negative emotion, and the contractor loses a part of the limb, which is more or less inconvenient in daily life, and these negative emotions due to disability will continue to nourish the demon like a trickle.
If only a temporary contract is signed, then the demon will only get negative emotions for a short time, such as the pain of breaking an arm.
So demons generally don't like temporary contracts, they like to make deals once and for all. ”
"I have a question, if the contractor is not a reborn person, but he signed a temporary contract with the demon and gave an arm, then this arm will not grow back, and all the negative emotions that arise after that will also become the nourishment of the demon?"
"Generally, temporary contracts are time-limited, and when a temporary contract is concluded, there will be items similar to 'within how many hours, the negative emotions generated by the cost will belong to the demon', so the temporary contract will not become the demon's lasting nourishment."
