Chapter 156: An Unfinished Deal
The rustle of the leaves of the wind lulls people to sleep, and the shadows of the trees in the dark forest are swaying, and there is a bonfire under the forest, and a flame dances in the shadows, like an ancient elf.
The boy folded his legs around the campfire and blinked, and a moment earlier he had seen a massacre in his eyes staring into the flames in a daze.
Lu Mingfei raised his eyes and looked around, there was no light source in the black forest, and there were strange noises from time to time in the depths of the darkness, there were low roars, the grinding of the bark of the scales of the minions, and the sound of limbs stepping on dead branches and leaves.
On the opposite side of the campfire sat the beautiful big child, dressed in a thick fur coat, and the coat next to the little face was a little dirty, and the face looked like white and fragile porcelain.
Lu Mingfei's gaze swept over the beautiful boy,
"Did you see it all? Just the drama. ”
"Drama?"
"Tragedy, Hamlet was killed, Macbeth climbed to the throne, King Lear was lonely, Othello drew his sword and killed himself, the cause of the tragedy of thousands of years has not changed in the end, but it has changed in a new way, because it has always been like this."
"Shakespeare?" Lu Mingfei buried his head and didn't know what he was thinking, but he could tell from the muttered response that he was indeed listening.
"Speaking of which, the girl named Chen Wenwen does have a bit of a role, at least I don't think you're illiterate when talking to my brother." Lu Mingfei's eyes suddenly lit up, and the pure cotton white skirt fluttered in the afternoon sun of Shilan, with the laziness of a student.
It's just that the scarlet flesh and strange mutations, and the dense alchemy runes unconsciously appear again, and the former flashed in his mind with the pain of tearing.
"Does your head hurt a little?" The little devil was like a roundworm in Lu Mingfei's stomach, laughing gloatingly.
Lu Mingfei was motionless.
"It's impossible for you to be with that girl, and he doesn't like you, let alone even if she likes you? In martial arts, there is nothing good for a hero who finds an ordinary person to live. ”
"I'm just a waste of wood, waste wood doesn't understand, no one thinks how important I am, I feel like I'm redundant, there is no problem in this world!" Lu Mingfei looked up at the child and spoke loudly, with a ferocity that seemed to be absent.
The little devil looked at him silently and suddenly smiled.
"Is that what you think?" He shook his head: "But you are not a waste of firewood, you should have known from the time the people of Kassel found you, there are billions of people in the world, and there are only six-figure humans who can see the world of half-bloods, and even fewer people enter Kassel." ”
"Really?"
"This is luck and misfortune, the unfortunate place you have just seen, they will all die, one by one in front of your eyes to be killed, just for power and power, you have not tasted the sweetness of power and power, you will not understand why they are so crazy!" Lu Mingze smiled, but his smile gradually became hideous, he was originally just like a little devil with the atmosphere of a profiteer, but at that moment it seemed that Satan had awakened in his body, but he quickly woke up and resumed his treacherous smile.
"Since we can stand here and speak, you should also understand that I am not an ordinary person, have you ever wondered why I came to you?"
"Why?"
"The devil will not communicate with a scrap of wood, and if the devil appears in front of you, it must be profitable."
"What do you want?" Lu Mingfei calmed down and looked at the child in front of him without saying a word, at least a few months of alchemy research had taught him to analyze and observe.
"Chen Wenwen recommended "Faust" to you, brother, you read it as meticulously as a loyal dog, you should remember the story in it, the devil Mephistopheles lured Faust to sign a deal with him: it will fulfill all the requirements of Faust during his lifetime, but once Faust feels satisfied, the devil will take his soul in exchange."
"What do you want my soul for?"
"I don't just want your soul, I want life, flesh and soul, everything."
"According to my knowledge, the soul of an ordinary person is the cheapest material in alchemy." Lu Mingfei was suddenly extremely calm at this moment, so calm that he was a little frightened.
"Mephistopheles found Faust because God made a bet with the devil on him, otherwise how could the devil care about a tiny human being? I said, dear brother, you are special, but don't ask any more, Faust just needs to enjoy it with the help of Mephistopheles. ”
"So what can you do?" Lu Mingfei's voice was very flat.
"Pretty much everything."
"Sounds like you're as powerful as Mephistopheles."
"Trust me, the devil can always do incredible things, remember what you read in the book? I have customized a special trading package for the dragon slayer warriors, the enemies faced by the half-bloods are the 'four monarchs' of the dragon clan, as a response to your four chances to summon me, each trade I will take a quarter of your life, get those dragon kings. ”
"And what about the Black King and the White King?" Lu Mingfei whispered tentatively: "That's the emperor above the monarch, is the devil's ability omnipotent?" ”
"If there really is that day," Lu Mingze nodded: "I will do my best if your price is in place, after all, the devil has something that he can't do, otherwise won't the world become hell?" ”
"How are you going to collect life? Do I get old after every trade? ”
"No, I will help you fulfill four wishes, and when all wishes are fulfilled, or when you feel lonely in this world, my contract to serve you will be dissolved, and your life will be mine."
"You've seen Faust too." Lu Mingfei said slowly.
"Of course."
"Mephistopheles helped Faust do almost everything, but he didn't get it, so Mephistopheles didn't get what he wanted in the end, if I only made three wishes, you would be the same as Aladdin's god of lights, would the devil be so kind?"
"That's what everybody who makes a deal with the devil thinks, and guess what happens to them?" The chill in those words made Lu Mingfei shudder, and he seemed to understand that he had been caught by the devil.
"Want to use up a wish? Look at those tragedies, as long as you are willing to give a quarter of your life, I can let the rest of the people live, of course the dead will not survive, after all, I am just a devil, and I am better at saving people than killing people. ”
"Nope." Lu Mingfei replied softly.
"They don't need me to save them, and the destruction of the world has nothing to do with me, and isn't it of their own volition?" Lu Mingze was stunned for a moment, and laughed maniacally, and the laughter spread far and wide in the dark forest.
