Chapter 826 Devil’s Contract
Chapter 826 Devil’s Contract
After hearing the fanatical words of the director of the Inquisition, Lin Yu's reaction was relatively calm.
Lin Yu had long anticipated that this guy might be crazy.
after all……
Raising an extremely dangerous dark race in a large city of millions of people, and even transforming himself into a dark race...
Lin Yu would never believe that this behavior was done out of consideration for profit.
Sitting in such a high position, the director of the Inquisition should never do such a thing if he thinks rationally.
High risk, low return. Given his status, identity and ability, there is no reason for him to do this.
Unfortunately, the world is a vast makeshift organization, and in a crazy world like Night Vale, reaching a high position often requires only powerful supernatural powers. This means that even the director of a city's Inquisition, a figure more important than the mayor and city councilors combined, may be a madman.
Even if he was not a madman back then, it is possible that he eventually fell into madness while sitting in this lonely position while dealing with darkness and evil day after day.
even……
Perhaps he would never have gone crazy, and it was this [Book of Hell] that dragged him into the abyss of depravity.
after all……
Lao Zheng's voice has already sounded.
"Boss, this book...regardless of whether it's genuine or not, it's not very simple."
"I feel it, too."
Lin Yu replied to Lao Zheng in his heart.
In the perception of spiritual power, this [Book of Hell] is emitting a frantic and powerful spiritual power.
From the perspective of spiritual power, this thing can be considered "alive"!
But it has no vitality or soul, as if someone has trapped his or her mad ravings in this book.
and so……
It is completely understandable that holding this book for a long time would make one become mentally unstable.
However, Lin Yu didn't care how this [Book of Hell] convinced the director of the Inquisition.
His purpose of using provocation to get the other party to hand over the book was... just for negotiation.
Before the negotiation, it is extremely beneficial to know the other party's cards and intentions in advance.
Only by knowing what the other party wants can Lin Yu do a better job of trading with them.
"I see. I already know your purpose... So, you're telling me all this, aren't you afraid I'll report you? Possessing something as ominous as the [Book of Hell] should lead to someone being sent directly to execute you by the Inquisition headquarters, right?"
Lin Yu asked back.
The Director of the Inquisition chuckled softly, "Haha... If I were to be exposed simply by transforming myself into a Darkseid, I would have no chance of survival."
"I tell you that the existence of the [Book of Hell] is to let you know that the only correct thing to do is to stand on my side."
Lin Yu nodded. "Wow, that makes perfect sense. I've decided to join your more authoritative side, concealing the truth for you so you can better utilize the [Book of Hell]... Could you please let me and my companions go?"
As Lin Yu spoke, veins popped up on the forehead of the Director of the Inquisition.
"Do you think I'm a fool?!"
"do not you?"
Lin Yu said in surprise.
Facing Lin Yu's insult, the director of the Inquisition held the book in his hand with a ferocious expression on his face, but then he quickly calmed down.
"You are also a fool, Schreiber. The truth is right before your eyes, yet you reject it... How foolish!"
"But I won't argue with a fool like you who only cares about violence... We can indeed solve the problem in a 'peaceful' way."
Lin Yu crossed his arms and said, "Well said. Then how can we trust each other?"
he asked cheerfully.
And in Night Vale, near the abyss, facing a human transcendent who had transformed into a dark race...
This question is no longer considered as leading.
"It's simple. This place is very close to the abyss. Why don't we just construct a 'ritual' to summon a demon as notarization and sign a demonic contract?"
The director of the Inquisition gave the answer that Lin Yu wanted to hear most.
Although the two empires and the three major churches have banned the use of "Devil's Contract", people who use Demon's Contract still appear in large numbers in Night Valley.
In private and shady transactions, especially among members of temporary teams that enter the abyss to explore new lands, they will sign a "devil's contract" with each other.
After all, there is no supervision in the abyss, and it is too dangerous to go in and explore with other extraordinary people. It is better to trust the contract guaranteed by an entire superior demon race than to trust human hearts.
The "Devil's Contract" is also one of the few good things that the abyss demons have done - it has no side effects and ensures that the contents of the contract are implemented fairly and impartially.
If one party breaks the contract, the devil will come and mark his soul.
Because of the blessing of the rules of the abyss and the imprint within the soul, even those who are slightly stronger than the demons that come to collect souls are often unable to resist.
Although both the Empire and the Church believed that these demons were playing a big game and would eventually close the net, they had always issued clear bans.
But if it is easy to use now, how many people would not use it?
not to mention……
The current director of the Inquisition has become a dark race, so it is even less likely that he would be afraid of the side effects of this contract.
Holding the [Book of Hell] tightly, the Director of the Inquisition chanted softly, and soon a green flame ignited in front of him, and a yellowed piece of paper appeared from the flame.
The flame burned little by little and "spitted" out the paper, as if it were upside down.
"This is a template of confidentiality and alliance combined. Neither of us shall disclose what is happening here to anyone other than those in the know, nor shall we intentionally harm the other in any way."
As the director of the Inquisition spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently pushed forward, placing the piece of paper in front of Lin Yu.
"If you have no objection, please sign your name."
Lin Yu had already seen the name of the director of the Inquisition written in advance on the signature on the contract.
"Netssanchi La Victor" - this is the full name of the director of the Inquisition.
After Lin Yu took a rough look, without even looking at it carefully, he concentrated his mind and projected his "name" onto it.
The three words "Schreber" appeared above, and also formed a vague connection with his soul.
He looked at the Director of the Inquisition.
"Very good, very good. I admire your decisiveness. You are indeed a veteran adventurer who has been in the abyss for a long time."
"All you need now is for your two companions to sign the contract, and then I can let you go!"
The director of the Inquisition said this and stepped forward to wake up Ayu and Raymond.
then……
"Snapped!"
He was suddenly slapped in the face by Lin Yu.
"what?"
The director of the Inquisition was stunned.
