Chapter 175: A Thousand Heads and a Hundred Eyes
It turns out that this is the case and the payment is complete.
Although the actual situation is a little different from what I thought before, the result is good, and since I paid a head within the time limit required by Supplementary Clause-1, then the "Soul Return" contract will not be invalidated for this reason.
Speaking of which, in the past, I was worried that even if I found my head, I still didn't have a head after paying for it - now it seems that this problem is completely unfounded.
This witch is not bad at all!
Huh? That's right......
Summer Night finally thought of this question: since only one head is needed to complete the payment, what is the point of leaving these two heads?
She flipped to the back of the terms.
According to past experience, if you have reached a certain condition in reality, then the "Soul Return" contract will update the corresponding terms.
This time it was the same.
The shield of Supplemental Clause-6 has been uncovered...... Part.
Addendum -6: The deed holder can gain an increase in control of ■■, ■■, ■■, Thunder Power, ■■■■ and ■■■■■■■■■ by paying [Deed Holder's Head], and the more [Head] paid, the greater the increase.
(Currently paid: 1/■■■■)
Is that so!?
Some are reasonable, some are unexpected.
I can actually increase my strength by paying my head, so the more heads I collect, the better. Although the total number of heads is shielded, since the number of "■" is four, does this mean that the total number of one's own heads is at least a thousand?
That's too much, isn't it?
Summer Night imagined a thousand heads tied around her neck, and she couldn't help but feel a little hairy in her heart.
Another thing that made her concerned was that all the power that could be boosted was shielded - except for the power of thunder and lightning, and why?
She suddenly remembered the eyes with her head closed. Just now, when I tried to break my eyes open, my whole body felt like I had been struck by lightning. Does this mean that this head carries the power of thunder and lightning?
Or more specifically, behind its closed eyes, are there two clouds of thunder imprisoned?
Summer Night looked at the head floating on the ceiling, and although it was a little strange in form, it had indeed become a part of her body, and in that case, she should be able to control it.
Like what...... Let it open its eyes.
Summer Night stared at it, repeating the action of opening her eyes in her mind, and gradually, a strange connection was established, and she felt the head floating in the air, like a replanted arm with a severed limb. As she repeated the action of opening her eyes in her mind again, the long eyelashes on her eyelids trembled slightly.
The eyes slowly opened.
Sure enough, there were no eyeballs—only a snowy thunderbolt, perhaps because of the thoughts of the summer night that bound them, and they were no longer as dazzling as they were last time. Thunder continued to surge in the eye sockets, like two fierce beasts in a cage with teeth and claws.
There was a slight tingling sensation in the back of the waist, that was where the "Thunder Feather" and the "Thunder Spear" contract were located, and a intuition suddenly rose in Xia Ye's heart, if a Thunder Spear was condensed now, then she must use it better than any before.
Unfortunately, this was not a good place to experiment with the Thunder Spear, so she had to wait until she went out to try again. With her thoughts, her eyes filled with thunder light closed again, and the tingling sensation in her lower back disappeared.
Summer Night thought about it and clicked on "Soul Return" again. She decided to re-examine the contract to see if anything else had changed.
Contract Name: Soul Return
Rank: 7
Contract Number: CHZVH7XY28401116
Lide: Summer Night
Contractor:
The Witch with a Thousand Heads and a Hundred Eyes;
■■■■,■■■■,■■■■;
The power of thunder and lightning and the master of ■■■■;
■■■■■■■■■
?!!
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the contract, there was such a big change.
If she remembered correctly, before that, there were only two "■" in the contractor column, and she guessed that it should be a certain name, but she didn't expect it to be such a long list......
Moreover, the content that has not been blocked is also worth pondering.
The first is "The Witch with a Thousand Heads and a Hundred Eyes".
When Summer Night read this, she couldn't help but glance at the head floating in the air, and then remembered the (1/■■■■) in the contract.
The second is "the power of thunder and lightning and the master of ■■■■".
Speaking of which, this head does seem to imprison the power of thunder and lightning, so can it be guessed that there is also some kind of power hidden in other heads, and after using it, the corresponding shield can be lifted?
Finally, the format of the name itself suggests a certain message - with Summer Night's rich experience in online reading, such names have a large number of titles, and they are arranged in three or four lines, which are generally very powerful.
To sum up, according to the currently known information, it is reasonable to speculate that -
The original owner of this body had made a pact with a god-like being to gain unparalleled power, and as for the heads, since the word in the contract is "pay", it means that they may be a kind of sacrifice that the gods like, and as for why it is the appearance of a girl's head, it is probably a shell constructed using the power of the contract - like the transparent plastic shell of a capsule toy.
This speculation explains most of the doubts so far, except for one:
Why do these heads happen to match the appearance of Summer Night's preference?
Summer Night can't think of a reasonable answer for the time being.
It wasn't something to figure out right away, though, and she didn't dwell on that point anymore and rolled her gaze to the other two heads on the table.
Which one should I use first?
She hesitated for a moment, then finally picked the head with her eyes closed.
For no other reason than that it resembles the one floating in the air, and behind those closed eyes, there should be some kind of power imprisoned...... As for the one with the eyeballs, Summer Night could not have predicted the consequences of using it.
She lifted her head in her hand, pointed it at her neck, and slowly lowered it.
It's completely different from the last time......
There is no sting of electricity breaking through the body.
Summer Night sensed countless tentacles, reaching out from afar, from all directions, and inserting them into her body together!
But it's amazing...... Without any sensation of pain, not even touch, the antennae were like some kind of illusory illusion, connected to their own body.
Immediately afterward, the consciousness fell into darkness once again.
……
The summer night once again woke up in the shaking of Xiu.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she asked, "This time it's also a minute?" ”
"Yes Meow~"
"Hmmm......"
She propped herself up and looked overhead—and sure enough, there was one more head floating on the ceiling. A thin thread connects it to the neck of a summer night. Summer Night raised her hand and touched it gently, there was a little repulsion, but there was no tingling sensation, instead, it was a hollow feeling that was difficult to describe.
The most direct way to know what power this head contains is to look at the contract.
Summer Night clicked on the "Soul Return" contract, and first looked at the beginning part:
Lide: Summer Night
Contractor:
The Witch with a Thousand Heads and a Hundred Eyes;
The beginning of the debt, ■■■■, ■■■■;
The power of thunder and lightning and the master of ■■■■;
■■■■■■■■■
