"When you get home, wash your hands and remember to rinse your mouth."

"Good~"

Kara obediently went.

The little girl seemed to be in a good mood on the first day of going out, as if everything on earth made her feel very new and interested.

After coming back, Shen You went straight underground again.

Just went out, the Warframe was performing a system update. He tried to connect the Chrono Bracelet's built-in system directly to the armor, so that the armor could share some of the bracelet's functions.

For example, the scanning of spatial fluctuations had previously helped him scan the entrance to the Eternal Rock and the rift when Kara's ship broke out of the Phantom Zone.

And then there was this, and after a few days, he finally managed to put a successful negative phase fluctuation setting on the line.

It is also a new technology he learned from the Science and Technology Bureau of the Land of Light.

As mentioned before, the Ultraman clan is basically a race at the pinnacle of the universe in its own worldview, and there are few fantasy works like the Ultraman series, and the top combat power in the long history of decades is all the protagonist's family.

When this strength goes up, the mentality is naturally prone to problems. Since the emergence of Belial and Torrecchia in the Land of Light, the mental health and ideological and moral construction of the Ultra clan have become the focus of attention.

This is where the technique of negative phase fluctuations comes in.

To put it simply, it can detect all the "darkness" in the basic definition of the Ultra clan as opposed to "light". If Ultraman is infected with a potential blackening threat, it can be scanned immediately. Or if there is some darkness in some horn, or an ancient demon god like the Dominator is about to awaken, it may also be sensed.

Even more broadly, even the darkness produced in the heart of the so-called living organism has a chance to detect if it reaches a certain magnitude.

Its technical principle is not complicated, but it is quite practical for Shen You's current situation. Eliminating the darkness itself is also collecting light, which is equivalent to helping him scan the task and gain experience.

"Warframe Energy 94%."

"Almost. Activate stealth, Parr, let's go out and try the effect. ”

The red and silver Mobile Ultra armor was dressed on his body, and the indicator light on his chest lit up with a blue glow. The armor ignited a fire under his feet and rushed into the sky with a tail flame.

Negative Phase Wave Scan, Start!

The interface quickly changed in the built-in display, and an icon resembling a radar scan appeared at the bottom right. The interface that follows the main field of view soon lights up, a bit like the interface of infrared scanning detection, except that the background color is warm. All detected darkness is prominently marked.

At this time, the system was activated, and Shen You looked at it......

...... Black clouds crush the city.

A large area of black oppression, all darkness.

Shen You: "......"

Maybe I opened it the wrong way?

"Parr, is this system okay?"

"The system is working perfectly fine."

"Well, I think so." Shen You nodded.

What are you thinking, it's not a matter of course.

After all, this is Gotham.

...

...

Maple Street.

It's a bleak room, full of odors and spicy chicken, like a forgotten thorn tree.

The old wallpaper on the wall has been turned into yellowed cracks by time, like old newspapers gnawed by the years. The messy bedding on the bed has long lost its original softness and comfort, and the smell of smoke in the air and the garbage heaps scattered randomly on the ground seem to tell the story of a loser.

Yes, a loser.

Nello Cabezas, that's the name of the man in the middle of the garbage heap.

Half-eaten raspberry jam tartlets were tossed at the bedside, and spilled beer cans were thrown on the yellow stalls, more than one.

The entire case of beer was almost empty to him, but the pill bottles on the counter were still full of pills. It was an antidepressant prescribed a month earlier, and he apparently didn't follow his doctor's instructions to take it on time, opting instead for beer.

The phone in the answering state is casually left aside, and a recording from the voicemail box is played in hands-free mode.

The voice of a young girl.

“...... I'm sorry, but we can't go on like this. ”

"I can't see the future if I go on like this, I have to plan for tomorrow and the future."

"You're a good guy, we just don't fit."

“......”

"."

Nello angrily threw the phone out. The innocent phone crashed into the wall and fell into the garbage heap, and the voice came to an abrupt halt.

He held his head in pain, and his fingers dug deep into his unkempt hair, which had not been washed in days.

Unhappy? What does it mean to be unsuitable?

Isn't there just no money?

He had just lost his job, and he hadn't even paid last month's rent. There are only a few days left until the landlord kicks out the apartment this month......

And now it's coming out again.

"Poor ......"

A voice rang out in the darkness.

Nello was startled, looking nervously from side to side.

"Who?"

The man did not answer the question, but continued to sneer and said, "So weak, so pathetic, losing everything, I can't even protect the little happiness I have......"

Nello held his head: "Don't say it, don't say it!" ”

"But you still have a chance to reverse it all."

"I ...... Have it? ”

"Of course, because you met me."

It's like the whispers of the devil, fooling people into signing a contract of life and death.

"I can give you the power to get everything you have. Those who have bullied you, you can pay back a hundredfold. Those who have trampled you under your feet, you can humiliate as much as you want!

You will be the king of this world, with unparalleled power and the ability to do whatever you want, and dominate everything! ”

"I can...... Do whatever you want, dominate everything......"

Nello's breathing gradually became heavier, and his eyes became hot, as if he contained anticipation for the future.

"yes." The voice continued, "At that time, why is it difficult to make that girl change her mind?" ”

"Nope."

Nello's momentum gradually swelled, his head held high, and his face gradually became arrogant, as if he had become the emperor of this world in his mind.

"When I'm already strong enough to get that, can I still want her?"

The voice choked in the darkness, and suddenly his emotions were incoherent.

Fortunately, it has a lot of experience in sales, and it quickly took over.

"Haha, exactly. When the time comes, don't you want a few beauties in the world? What can't you find?

So, are you ready to sign a contract with me? ”

Nothing to hesitate about. Nello felt that he had nothing to lose, and he wanted power, even if it was to sell his soul.

But just before he said yes.

A beam of light pierced through the window lattice and shone into the filthy room.

The sting makes people panic.

"I'm sorry if I bothered you."

A red-silver mech hovers outside the window.

The figure in the shadow suddenly shrank its pupils.

Although it is life-size and the appearance of a mecha, the color scheme of this classic red and silver has the fluctuation of that powerful and highly recognizable light......

"I'll need to check your Soul Buying and Selling Permit." A quiet voice came from inside the armor.

Nalo: "? ”

The dazed owner of the house didn't understand the situation at all, and only subconsciously looked at the dark shadow beside him......

...... Hey? What about the shadow man?

The moment the light pierced in, the shadow had turned into a straight black mist, and it fled into the distance like an arrow.

As he fled, he screamed in a voice that only demons could hear.

"Help, help, help! I've been subjected to Ultraman—"
