Chapter 499 'Whispers of the Inner Demon' Making a Deal with the Devil
"I will." Jiang Qian said decisively.
"..." The corners of the Seven Emotion Demon's mouth trembled obviously, and his mind almost flashed.
The development of things suddenly took an unimagined path... However, the path is winding, so there is room for change.
It seems that this kid is in big trouble... The expression on the Seven Emotion Demon's face gradually deepened.
"I'm in trouble. I'm involved in a mass destruction ritual constructed by a disorderly organization. I face the master of the six-state concept body. I may die at any time."
At this point, Jiang Qian stopped talking in circles and explained the reason why he had re-entered the dungeon and the crisis that the outside world was waiting for him at this moment. Then he raised his eyes and looked at the humanoid demon with an unpredictable expression:
"I know that you have means that are no less than six-state conceptual power, and you will favor me, probably because you have taken a fancy to some of my qualifications, but I must say something ugly up front: your expectations will probably be disappointed.
.”
"Ah ha ha ha ha..."
The seven-emotion demon looked up and laughed:
"You brat, you have been bluffing for a long time, just because you want to borrow my power! You are right, the 'six-state conceptual body' that you have enshrined as a priest is indeed not enough in my eyes!"
Otherwise, with Yun Zhongshuo's strength to reach the seventh state, he would not take the initiative to pay you... Jiang Qian didn't realize that the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. However, when he thought of the content in the legendary letter, his expression returned to solemnity.
"If you need my power, you must be willing to pay the price."
The seven-emotion demon stretched out his arm, which exceeded the size of a normal human arm, and reached directly in front of Jiang Qian: the demon stretched out his hand to lift his chin——
"Your body will no longer belong to you, and your soul will become my slave! I will save your life and occasionally give you a chance to breathe until your fate ends."
Jiang Qian was just being pushed against by the other party, with a neither humble nor arrogant expression on his face: "I refuse."
"Oh?" The Seven-Emotion Demon was very interested.
The so-called negotiation is a process of asking for prices and making counter-offers.
"My body can occasionally let you out for a breather, but I must always be in the dominant position, otherwise neither of us will be able to live well." Jiang Qian said confidently.
"Do you think you have the qualifications to bargain?" The Seven-Emotion Demon smiled.
Jiang Qian pushed away the other person's extended hand, cleared his throat, and said, "This is not a bargain, it's a kind reminder to you."
"Haha, interesting."
"After talking to you so much, it is not difficult to see your intentions and embarrassment. As the guardian of the "Whispers of the Inner Demon" trial copy for super-species newcomers, you look down on the untrained souls and bodies of the newcomers, and you are not sure.
Take action against a supreme being like Yun Zhongshuo who has evolved to the peak of the seven states, otherwise there will be no possibility of equal trade between you. This shows that your hunting options are actually very narrow."
The Seven Emotions Demon's expression changed instantly but he did not interrupt him.
So Jiang Qian continued to talk, just like criminal investigators profiling the suspect:
"You are limited by the clear rules of the super-species world, which means that even a powerful demon like you cannot freely communicate between the super-species world and reality; but within the scope of the "Whispers of the Inner Demon" copy
, but you are the true master."
"I guess you yearn for a broad and real world. The logic is very simple. When an individual masters all resources, rules, and powers in a limited world, then gradually, the fun brought by these resources, rules, and powers will gradually
It disappears and is replaced by a long period of boredom...and then you begin to leap towards a new, broader world!"
"You look down on card holders who can travel between the super-species world and the real world. You can easily kill most of them, but you don't have their ability to easily cross the two worlds. Maybe this is because you are a demon, but
Is it because you are trying so hard to disguise yourself as a human being? You are trying every possible means to kill the new license holders who come here, as if you are venting your jealousy and dissatisfaction... Sounds ironic? No, your instant surge of malice has been verified.
I was right."
"Until... you figure out a good way."
Jiang Qian paused here deliberately, as if it was time for the other party to cool down his anger:
"This method can not only ensure that your basic base does not collapse, but also satisfy your curiosity and control of the wider world, that is - cultivating a high-quality license holder as a puppet. This puppet has the ability to travel between two worlds.
At the same time, you must have a stable soul that can carry strong emotional backlash in order to be used by you, so that you can use his perspective to peek into a brand new world, and use his identity to complete your control of this new world!"
With that said, Jiang Qian held the rune black box handed to him:
"This high-quality 'puppet' is me. As long as I put this rune black box into the prop locker, you will have achieved your goal."
"Wonderful..." The Seven Emotion Demon's emotions became more and more complicated. He stared at Jiang Qian's hand holding the rune black box and said, "But what?"
"But you ignored one of the most important issues."
Jiang Qian smiled and continued:
"With high-quality puppets, and even using loopholes in the rules to open up backdoors for props, are you safe? Are the clearly defined rules of the super-species world really something that a dungeon BOSS can override at will? Just thinking about it makes me feel weird.
It’s crazy, I don’t think you are sure.”
"So you first conducted an experiment with the demon clone to ensure the security of the 'back door'. Now the reliability of the puppet remains to be verified. You worked hard to help me clear the memory barrier and repeatedly tested my stability until
After I read the legendary letter, you found that I still have sanity, so you confirmed this."
The Demon of Seven Emotions echoed: "A soul that is not tough enough cannot bear the power of this deity."
"But you are still too greedy. You want to occupy the magpie's nest and make me completely your slave. This is the most unwise approach."
"How to say?"
"First of all, if I have to become a slave even if I survive, then I would rather die! If the deal fails, we will both die."
Jiang Qian's words were extremely calm and unwavering:
"Furthermore, do you think the super-species world will let go of a copy master who tries to violate the rules? You can easily erase me and occupy my body, but this will also cause you to lose your cover and be directly exposed to the rules sooner or later.
Revealed.”
"Not to mention anything else, just entering the dungeon mission regularly is enough to worry you. Other dungeons are not like the "Whispers of the Demon" that you control. Each dungeon has its own operating rules. You are not the master of all systems.
Master, in other people's realms, you still have to rack your brains to survive! I'm very sorry, the lowest difficulty level of the dungeon I matched is the nightmare level. In other words, as the nightmare level dungeon BOSS, you have to regularly
Challenge a higher level of hell mode, are you sure this is the life you want?"
The Seven Emotions Demon stopped talking.
Of course it was not his goal to die together, but if he wanted to manipulate the talented young human in front of him like a puppet, it was obviously not that easy.
"Or are you more willing to accept another way of living harmoniously?"
Jiang Qian looked at the other party and put forward his own plan:
"As a carrier of your existence in the real world, I allow you to see a broader landscape and participate in more complex games, and you lend me your power to achieve our common interests."
"In this process, as a legal player in the super-species world, I will regularly solve A to S-level dungeon tasks to ensure our basic survival conditions and allow you to exercise control of this body to a certain extent. I will use this
It is regarded as a necessary price in exchange for power; but you must restrain your desire to completely occupy this body. Once you try to break the contract, don't forget, I can kill myself at any time. Until then..."
Jiang Qian smiled, as calmly as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him:
"Not only will you lose a rare carrier, you may also be exposed to the rules of the super-species world and be cleared by the rules of the world."
In a sentence: Either we can coexist harmoniously and everyone gets what they need; or we can both be destroyed and no one will be better off.
"Although you call yourself a devil, I believe you are a smart devil."
Having said this, Jiang Qian stopped talking, but quietly looked at the Seven Emotions Demon, waiting for the other party's decision.
For a long time, the familiar laughter resounded throughout the imaginary space...
"Hahahaha, interesting, so interesting!"
The expression of the seven-emotion demon changed one after another, and finally settled on the expression of "eager to try":
"I agree with your proposal! But there is one thing you are wrong about. I am trying to cross the boundaries, not to conquer and control the wider world. I am not that arrogant... I am just tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting.
The most precious treasure in the world, but no one cares about it!"
"Thirteen years ago, Yun Zhongshuo came here, and he showed me the changes in today's world! Super species forces are rising, and the original balance of power in the world has been quietly shaken, but everything is happening in secret, no one can guess
How will it end?"
"Since then, I have been waiting for you! When you grow up, when you open the authority of the super-species world, you are the son of Yun Zhongshuo who has high hopes. Only you can satisfy my curiosity! Only you, there is
Qualified to be the carrier of this deity to cross boundaries!"
"Let's go! Go back to your crisis. I will let your enemies know what trembling is and what despair is..."
It turns out that demons are also afraid of loneliness? This is surprising... Jiang Qian dismissed the distracting thoughts in his mind and put the black box in his hand into the prop locker:
"The good news is that my enemy and you are also old acquaintances."
In this way, the contract is finalized.
It does not rely on any contract props, but is based on the needs of each other's survival and development.
"Really?" The Seven-Emotion Demon became even more interested.
"They were also those who cleared the "Whispers of the Inner Demon", but they are the kind you don't look down on. Maybe you still have their parts here."
Then, Jiang Qian said the names of the two people.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The Seven-Emotion Demon laughed loudly, licking the corners of his mouth and said, "They are so unlucky!"
Immediately afterwards, from the corner of the wall cabinet on the right, a series of human limbs and organs flew out one after another, surrounding the Seven Emotions Demon, exuding an aura of decay...
Come on, high risks correspond to high returns... Jiang Qian had a smile on his face.
The next second, the "return" command cut off his affectionate gaze with the devil.
Jiang Qian's eyes were shrouded in darkness.
In the darkness, he heard a familiar prompt:
[The hidden mission reward of "The Whispers of the Inner Demon" is being settled...]
Not surprisingly, for him, who is a five-state and complex person, the meager experience points in the trial dungeon are no longer enough.
Fortunately, his dual-card experience has already reached its peak, and with just a small medicine guide, he can lead directly to the catastrophe!
After overcoming the catastrophe, you can enter the sixth state of the priesthood, but what is this damn timidity about... Jiang Qian had been mentally prepared for this, but there were too many "accidents" on this exploration trip.
His missing emotions were restored, which meant that he was no longer immune to some negative emotions.
And this is likely to affect his success in overcoming the tribulation.
"Calm down, calm down...you have to face what you have to face. You must pass this level first before you can pass the next, more difficult level..." He tried to comfort himself.
However it's not much better.
When he first faced the Demon of Seven Emotions, he had exhausted his willpower and completely lost his previous calmness and calmness.
While he was thinking, the attributes of the four props were clearly laid out in Jiang Qian's consciousness. Including the "Dream Catcher" and "Dagger", two items whose attributes could not be displayed before!
The attention is switched and the anxiety is relieved to a certain extent.
This meant that his previous guesses were correct. The dream catcher and dagger did belong to the category of props. Due to some special reasons, the functional attributes were not directly displayed to him.
Jiang Qian focused on the attributes of the four props and looked at them in order:
[Name: Human Love Mask]
[Type: jewelry]
[Function: Camouflage, Amplification]
[Introduction: The master of the Seven Emotions selects the golden ratio of human skin and injects it with smart emotions to make the soulless skin lifelike and charming. It is called the human mask. 】
[Usage: Put the human mask on your face and blend it with your own appearance. From then on, you will gain emotional control that eliminates human nature and make good use of other people's emotional loopholes to achieve your goals. No one can see through what you hide under the mask.
Real thoughts, not even the six-state concept body with conceptual power. It should be noted that the mask can not be worn for more than 48 hours at a time. Once it expires, you will never be able to take the mask off your face.]
[Remarks: Passionate people will inevitably be autistic.]
…
It's such a depressing prop, but it's very suitable for politicians... Jiang Qian glanced coldly, then hurriedly looked at the next prop.
[Name: Legendary Letters]
[Type: Cultural Supplies]
【Function: Belief implantation, information archiving.】
[Introduction: A preacher who has reached the pinnacle, in order to make his ideas last forever, specially made this letter to record his lifelong knowledge, and sent it to his most proud disciple before his death, instructing his disciples to continue to pass on his ideas to the world. The remaining
The blank letter paper has flowed into the folk and become a precious prop. It should be noted that in order to make the belief implant more ingrained, this prop will improve the overall memory level of the implanted person, leading to over-the-top memory.]
[Usage 1: Implant belief. Write the content into a blank stationery, imagine the other party's appearance and silently recite the password "Implant", continue to consume mental energy until the physical stationery disappears, the implantation is deemed to be completed. The implanted person cannot detect the letter.
exists, but the behavior will change based on the beliefs implanted in the letter.]
[Usage 2: Archive information. Write the content into a blank stationery, imagine the other party's face and silently say the password "Archive", continue to consume mental energy until the physical stationery disappears, and the archive is deemed completed. The person being archived can retrieve the content of the letter through the memory feature.
, never forget.]
[Remarks: Noble people often forget things, legendary letters are designed to treat noble people!]
…
It seems that Yun Zhongshuo only used the "archive" function on me. Is he really letting me have my choice?
Jiang Qian sighed silently and continued to check the next one.
The next "Fairy's Dream Net" is something that the Seven Emotions Demon "searched" from him. The ownership of this thing has always aroused Jiang Qian's curiosity:
[Name: Fairy’s Dream Catcher]
[Type: Decoration]
[Function: Dream Catcher and Sleep]
[Introduction: A craftsman who is addicted to alcohol customized this dream catcher for his friend’s daughter. It is made of fine sycamore wood, woven with bluegrass network, and decorated with phoenix feathers. It has the effect of catching dreams and sleeping.
effect.】
[Usage 1: Sleep. Hang the prop on the bedside and you can sleep peacefully without being disturbed by nightmares. 】
[Usage 2: Dream Catcher. Keep in contact with the sleeping target and use the dream catcher to spy on its dreams. 】
[Usage 3: Dream creation. Stay in contact with the sleeping target, use the dream catcher to intervene in its memory space, and delete, modify or hide specific memories. 】
[Remarks: Dreams are the creation of the night and the crystallization of life; therefore, to modify a dream/memory, you need to pay an equivalent amount of life time in exchange.]
…
This...Jiang Qian couldn't let go of the introduction to the functions of the dreamcatcher for a long time.
Undoubtedly, this prop seriously violated his privacy, but this violation seemed innocuous and harmless.
It can even be said that it only involves the intimate interaction with my sister...
Thinking of this, Jiang Qian's intuition has already reached a conclusion, but he can't see the cause and effect clearly.
"Don't think about it, go back and ask her directly!"
He dismissed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and then looked at the last prop, the dagger that was stabbed deeply by his biological mother and almost killed him:
[Name: Dagger of Evil]
[Type: Magical Weapon]
[Function: Cutting off evil]
[Introduction: Created by an old mage with a very high level of cultivation, this magical weapon can cut off the karma of disasters and end all suffering. However, the evil karma that is cut off will not disappear...]
[Usage 1: Stab. Cause damage. 】
[Usage 2: Cut off evil. Insert the evil dagger into the heart of the target, and the evil karma that is cut off will be automatically transferred to the body of the dagger holder. 】
[Note: This is a life-for-life blade, the backlash will be immediate, so use with caution!]
