Chapter 066 Two Kinds of Contracts
"So, don't get close to it, understand?" Sylvie said.
Su Ming nodded vigorously: "I understand."
"Okay, then we'll go out first, you two can chat on your own."
"Eh? Aren't you guys listening nearby?" Su Ming asked puzzledly.
Sylvie stopped and said, "There are some things that demons like to talk about with other people alone ."
After saying this, Sylvie went out with the group of scientists. In the huge space, only Su Ming, Xia Xiaoyu and a demon were left.
Su Ming sat down in front of the console, adjusted the microphone, and said, "Hello, devil."
"Hello, hello to you too. Congratulations, you finally found someone who can see you." The Demon of Love looked at Xia Xiaoyu and said this to Xia Xiaoyu.
Su Ming was not surprised, because if ordinary monsters could see Xia Xiaoyu, it was not surprising that demons could see Xia Xiaoyu.
"Do you know it? Didn't you say you have never been here?" Su Ming asked.
Xia Xiaoyu shook her head with a serious expression: "I have indeed not been here. It may have heard me in other shelters. Su Ming, I want to remind you that humans and demons think differently. They are not human. You must remember this."
"I know, I can feel it's dangerous." Su Ming murmured.
He had felt a strong sense of crisis when he was in the elevator.
Everything below the ninetieth floor underground was extremely dangerous, and if they hadn't been imprisoned, his super intuition would have allowed him to escape.
In addition, Su Ming could also feel that the demon in front of him was very weak, and its current state was completely not at its peak.
"Do you have anything you want to ask me?" The Devil of Love took the initiative to speak.
Su Ming remained silent.
He is thinking.
In fact, there are not many things he can ask. He can ask Xia Xiaoyu about the knowledge about demons later. If he asks about things that are too common sense, it will easily expose his identity as a time traveler .
"Hmm... I want to ask, how can I kill demons like you efficiently?"
As soon as the words came out, Xia Xiaoyu next to him was stunned, and the Devil of Love was also stunned.
After a few seconds of silence, the Devil of Love laughed awkwardly and replied, "I don't know. Usually, we study how to kill humans, and don't think about how to kill ourselves."
"Then what are you afraid of?"
"…We are afraid of humans, but we also like humans. Do you have any other questions besides this?" Devil of Love
"To be honest, I don't have anything to ask you. I'd rather talk to you about Xia Xiaoyu."
"Me?! Why are you suddenly talking about me?" Xia Xiaoyu said in panic.
The Love Demon smiled slightly, "She is an interesting human. Many of the weirdos here are counting on her for help."
"It seems she didn't help in the end."
"How can I help! Although I am quite lonely, I can still tell what can be done and what cannot be done!" Xia Xiaoyu said depressedly.
So Su Ming asked the Devil : "If I make a contract with you, what kind of power can you give me?"
"I can give you the power to charm others, turning them into puppets in your hands. I can also give you the skills to use love as fuel in exchange for power. If you want to exchange, all you need is one word... Just give me an arm."
“It doesn’t feel very strong either.”
"If used properly, it will be very powerful. If you are willing to pay a little more, I can give you the power to control the entire investigation bureau." The Devil of Love said with a smile.
"Su Ming, don't listen to it! It just wants to escape." Xia Xiaoyu reminded from the side, "It is very weak now, but if you make a contract with it, it may gain the power to break through here."
"I know, I won't make a contract with it. I just want to see how valuable I am." Su Ming spread his hands indifferently.
"Haha, you are very rare in our eyes, your fragrance..." The Devil of Love took a deep breath, "I believe no demon can resist it."
"Then can I make a contract with you using my nails?"
"Of course." The Devil of Love said without hesitation.
"This works?!" Su Ming was surprised.
Xia Xiaoyu nudged Su Ming's waist with her elbow and reminded him, "Don't mess around. Giving your nails to the devil is not just an ordinary gift, but an exchange. If you give your nails to it, you will never grow nails again."
So that's how it is. That's really dangerous, Su Ming thought.
"If we don't want that kind of transaction, we can try another one. For example, I can establish a temporary contract with you." The Devil of Love changed his tone.
Su Ming cast a questioning look at Xia Xiaoyu, who immediately understood and began to explain:
"A temporary contract is a transaction between flesh and blood and the devil. The difference between it and a normal contract is that the lost parts can grow back.
The transaction content of an ordinary contract often refers to conceptual things, while the transaction content of a temporary contract is generally just real material.
Let's take the simplest example. Do you know the S-level regenerator? Even if only a head is left, the body of this level of regenerator will recover quickly.
Suppose there is such a regenerated person who signs an ordinary contract with the devil and offers his left hand to the devil. Then his lost left hand will never grow back. Even if an identical arm is cultivated with advanced biotechnology, it will be unusable after transplantation and will only slowly rot.
As long as the contractor signs an ordinary contract, the limb that is taken away is truly taken away and cannot grow back no matter what method is used.
But temporary contracts are different. If the regenerated person and the devil sign a temporary contract, what they give up is only the flesh and blood of their arm, not the "existence" of the arm, so after losing the arm, it can grow back in a short time.
Now that we understand these two contracts, it is necessary to talk about what they mean to the devil.
In ordinary contracts, the devil gets persistent and long-lasting negative emotions. The contractor loses a part of his limbs and will have more or less inconvenience in daily life. These negative emotions caused by disability will continue to nourish the devil like a trickle.
If the contract is only a temporary one, the demon will only experience negative emotions for a short period of time, such as the pain of a broken arm.
So demons generally don't like temporary contracts, they prefer deals that are done once and for all."
"I have a question. If the contractor is not a reborn person, but signs a temporary contract with the devil and sacrifices an arm, then the arm cannot grow back. Will the negative emotions generated afterwards also become food for the devil?"
"Generally, temporary contracts are time-limited. When a temporary contract is signed, there will be clauses such as 'within a certain number of hours, the negative emotions generated by the price will belong to .' Therefore, temporary contracts will not become long-term nourishment for the devil."
