Cecilia and Yae Rin

"Yes, Raven's wish has been fulfilled. Thank you for your hard work." Chen Luo looked at Grey Serpent with satisfaction.

Although I don't know what I will give you in the future, thank you for your hard work.

"You're welcome, it's just an agreement. By the way, according to the contract, the Doctor, you mentioned Raven's matter, so I should hand over the other two [items] and the sacred object to you."

"The other two items and the sacred relic?"

Although Chen Luo didn't quite understand, Chen Luo was greatly shocked.

What is a sacred object?

"Please follow me." Grey Serpent nodded to Chen Luo, then led him out of the conference room.

Chapter 299 Cecilia and Yae Rin

After Chen Luo followed the Grey Serpent out of the conference room, he headed towards a place that felt somewhat familiar to Chen Luo.

This sense of déjà vu became even stronger when Chen Luo arrived at the World Serpent's Shrine.

"Grey Serpent, you wouldn't be thinking of taking me to the Elysian Realm, would you?" Chen Luo asked somewhat uncertainly.

This is clearly the road to the Elysian Realm, and we're about to step onto that tunnel that Chen Luo utterly despises.

"No, actually, somewhere along the passageway Elysian Realm, there's a path that leads to another place. That's where we're going," Grey Serpent explained to Chen Luo as they entered the passageway.

"..." Chen Luo entered the passageway with a look of disgust.

Although... Chen Luo hated this passageway.

As for the Raven that was following Chen Luo earlier?

After receiving a message from her brother, she completely forgot about her boss, Chen Luo. He's heartless...

Just as the Grey Serpent snake had said, after following it for nearly 10 minutes, we were almost at the Elysian Realm when, in one of the passageways, the Grey Serpent pressed a few switches and a secret room appeared.

"..."

What kind of underworld chamber is this?

Don't let me find out who designed this piece of junk.

"This is the secret room you designed later, where the sacred object and two other items are stored," Grey Serpent said to Chen Luo with a slightly respectful tone.

"... Hmm, I knew it was my design. Setting up a secret room at the corner just before reaching Elysian Realm would exhaust the patience of others who were searching for it, and make them focus on the Elysian Realm, thus ignoring this extremely hidden secret room in front of them. The person who built this secret room is simply a genius." Chen Luo couldn't help but exclaim.

This secret chamber was quite different from the stone cave chamber Chen Luo had imagined. The chamber inside was quite high-tech and well-ventilated, perhaps leading to the Great Void where the Elysian Realm was located through some unknown passage.

Chen Luo followed the Grey Serpent to retrieve the sacred object it had mentioned.

When Chen Luo saw the sacred object in the Grey Serpent, Chen Luo was completely dumbfounded.

"... Oh, this is it." After receiving the sacred object from Grey Serpent City, Chen Luo tossed it into his backpack.

Chen Luo never expected that the sacred object the Grey Serpent mentioned was actually Soul Extractor.

But thinking about it carefully, this thing does seem pretty awesome.

Moreover, it seems quite suitable for Grey Serpent to hold, since Chen Luo still needs his help with some tasks.

"The sacred object was used on two people. After it was used, as you instructed, it was placed in a time storage box. However, the time storage box may have run out of energy a month ago, so it has become ineffective," Grey Serpent explained to Chen Luo.

"Hmm, that explains why this thing is so new. So those two uses you mentioned are related to what you're going to show me later, right?" Chen Luo suddenly looked at the Grey Serpent with some anticipation.

"Yes."

"Tell me, those two things you showed me must be clones of Cecilia and Kallen, right?" Chen Luo was a little excited.

Chen Luo suddenly understood what the Soul Tear Drop was for.

Lend the Soul Extractor to Grey Serpent, giving him only two chances to use it, and then let Grey Serpent extract the soul.

Then, cloning several clones using the Grey Serpent technique is not a problem.

Then, use Soul Tear Drop to fuse the soul and the clone together.

A perfect resurrection.

"You're wrong about that." Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Grey Serpent rarely showed any emotion. He seemed quite surprised that Chen Luo's guess was incorrect.

"Oh, really?" This time it was Chen Luo's turn to be surprised.

"No. The Doctor, please follow me." Grey Serpent didn't seem to want to explain too much to Chen Luo, so he led the way.

"How could it not be Cecilia and Kallen?" Chen Luo was extremely puzzled upon hearing this result.

Why not?

Logically speaking, the reward for reviving these two people should be the highest.

Does this mean there will be even more clients receiving rewards in the future?

That doesn't make sense either. Although Chen Luo likes the Primogem, Kallen and Cecilia are the two people who most urgently need to be resurrected.

Completely baffled, Chen Luo followed the Grey Serpent to the outside of a laboratory.

After entering the password, the laboratory door opened, and Chen Luo saw two life support pods.

After drifting closer to take a look, Chen Luo was surprised to find two people floating inside. One was Cecilia, Chen Luo had guessed correctly, but the other seemed to be Yae Sakura's sister. The only one that wasn't Kallen, as Chen Luo had guessed, was not Kallen.

What happened?

Looking at his mother-in-law and sister in front of him, Chen Luo fell into deep thought.

"As you instructed. At the appropriate time, use the sacred object to extract the souls of these two people and use certain genetic fragments to create clones. The souls are here." As Grey Serpent spoke, he walked to the cabinet in the laboratory, entered three different passwords, and then took out two boxes from them.

One is white and the other is pink, making it very easy to tell whose soul is inside the box.

"This pink box contains Yae Rin's soul. Before she was sacrificed by her older sister Yae Sakura, her soul was extracted using a sacred object while she was sleeping, and then placed back into her body. When she was sacrificed, her soul was extracted from her body remotely." Holding up the box containing Yae Rin, Grey Serpent recounted the origin of this object.

"Wait, Soul Extractor? Can this thing extract someone's soul from a distance?" Chen Luo asked in surprise.

Chen Luo really didn't know about this.

Chen Luo had always thought that the Soul Extractor could only extract a soul from someone's body when giving them a massage.

"Regarding this... the first time you use it, you can only extract the soul when you are massaging the other person. But if you massage them multiple times, it's like marking the soul multiple times. You can extract the soul remotely, but it's very difficult to do and easy to get rid of."

"But if the other party is in a state of death and their soul is about to dissipate, those marks that were once placed can act as a kind of soul amulet, keeping the soul from dissipating for a short period of time. If you hold the sacred object and stand not far from the soul during this period, the soul will gradually move closer to the sacred object."

"This is what was written in the instruction manual you gave me."

"Wow, the Soul Extractor has this function? That's amazing!" Chen Luo suddenly understood why his future self reminded him to make good use of random items.

The original random items had functions that needed to be discovered by the player.

Take this Soul Extractor, for example.

"Whether it was Yae Rin or Cecilia, I had marked them multiple times with sacred objects before they had grown up or were even aware of it. And I was nearby when they died, so obtaining their souls was very easy."

Although Cecilia is very strong, it's impossible for an infant Cecilia to defeat Grey Serpent.

While Grey Serpent may not be exceptionally skilled in other areas, his ability to hide in the shadows undetected is truly outstanding.

Therefore, if Cecilia is marked with the Soul Extractor multiple times while she is unable to resist, it will become exceptionally easy to extract the soul after she dies.

This is something only the Grey Serpent can do.

"And obtaining their gene fragments to create clones is even simpler."

Grey Serpent came from the Mei Biu Si Laboratory. What does the Mei Biu Si Laboratory do? It's a lab that specializes in human modification.

Let alone cloning a physical body, even creating an artificial life form with a soul wouldn't be difficult, would it?

Therefore, in conclusion, Grey Serpent was truly the only designated tool to carry out Chen Luo's requirements.

"Tsk tsk tsk." After listening to Grey Serpent's account, Chen Luo couldn't help but sigh.

Unexpectedly, Chen Luo has already met all the conditions to revive Cecilia and Yae Rin.

"But are you sure I didn't ask you to save Kallen?" Chen Luo still harbored resentment about this.

"Really, no," Grey Serpent assured again.

"After all, this clause wasn't written in the contract," Grey Serpent added.

"Contract..." Upon hearing this word, Chen Luo couldn't help but turn his gaze to the Book of Contracts in his backpack, which he had just tossed into the dusty storage area.

Is the contract that the Grey Serpent mentioned the same contract that he imagined?

"Well, speaking of which, our second contract is now complete, and it's time to return it to you." The Grey Serpent said, gesturing with its hand.

To Chen Luo's surprise, a piece of paper that looked quite unusual appeared in the air as the Grey Serpent moved, and floated quietly in the air.

Holy crap, that's amazing.

Although he didn't understand what this thing was, it didn't stop Chen Luo from thinking it was amazing.

Grey Serpent peeled the paper that was floating in the air and handed it to Chen Luo.

When Chen Luo received the contract, he inexplicably felt that it was the paper from the Book of Contracts.

After Chen Luo the Book of Contracts from the dusty area of the warehouse, the original piece of paper in his hand instantly disappeared. In its place, the Book of Contracts floated up rapidly and then flipped open.

(⊙o⊙) Wow, so the Book of Contracts can be flipped backwards!

Chen Luo vaguely remembered the introduction to the Book of Contracts. It seemed that there was no limit to the number of contracts that could be made, so there was also no limit to the number of pages in the Book of Contracts. If you wanted to flip through it, you could flip through it for seventeen or eighteen days and you still wouldn't be able to finish it.

Now Chen Luo has learned a new trick: put the important contracts on the side that is flipped upside down.

After flipping through twenty or thirty pages, the contents of the contract appeared in front of Chen Luo.

In short, the contract stipulates that the Soul Extractor, Time Seal Box, and the [Stagnation Key Grey Serpent) be given to Grey Serpent All Things Dormant, who will use these two items to extract the souls of Cecilia and Yae Rin and create two clones to resurrect them.

Furthermore, during this period, all items are strictly prohibited from use under any circumstances other than those specified.

Because the number of times these items can be used is limited, Grey Serpent can only use them to execute the orders stipulated in the contract and cannot abuse them without permission.

Take, for example, the Soul Extractor.

If this thing were given to Grey Serpent to use carelessly, who knows what kind of trouble it might cause.

"Speaking of which, so this thing is actually the Fifth Divine Key —the [Stagnation Key]—the All Things Dormant." Chen Luo took a few more glances at the hibernation pod.

Chen Luo originally thought this thing was just an ordinary hibernation pod, but he didn't expect it to be so amazing.

The Fifth Divine Key, the One of All Things Dormant, is not just one, but an entire expanse.

After all, it's impossible to have so many pioneers crammed into one hibernation pod to sleep.

"But then another question arises: why doesn't my future self use Heavenly Scented Cardamom? Is it because I'm afraid someone will discover that the other person's body has disappeared and change history, or is there some other reason?" Chen Luo was curious about this.

To be honest, Heavenly Scented Cardamom is actually more suitable for saving lives.

Although this drastic update to the Demonic Demon, which uses 10 Revival Coin to create the Heavenly Scented Cardamom, seems a bit wasteful, it must be admitted that this thing does have some use, such as saving your life in times of crisis and making you invincible.

"I don't know about that. I'm just an executor, the Doctor." Grey Serpent shook his head.

"..."

However, the contract that the Grey Serpent returned to Chen Luo also made Chen Luo realize something: how could the future Chen Luo be sure that the Grey Serpent, who loves to cause trouble, wouldn't cause trouble in this matter?

Because a contract was signed.

As for why Heavenly Scented Cardamom n't used, it's possible that it was used before death, or it's possible that the future self couldn't bear to Heavenly Scented Cardamom.

After all, from the current perspective, saving Cecilia and Yae Rin in this way only requires sacrificing two Soul Tear Drop to fuse their souls and bodies.

Soul Tear Drop can be made, but there are only ten Heavenly Scented Cardamom.

Let's see if we can grow some Heavenly Scented Cardamom later...

"I remember you said this is the second contract, so what was the first contract?" Chen Luo looked at the Grey Serpent curiously.

"Or has the first contract already been completed?"

"No, it's not finished. The second contract is the same one I showed you earlier, the first one. It's still in effect, but what exactly it is... it's something like not being allowed to have any improper thoughts about you. But due to the Confidentiality Agreement of the contract, I can't tell you all the details," Grey Serpent said, his head lowered.

It seems that I might be involved in carrying out some kind of commission, and that commission might have some kind of random reward.

But it's not a big problem; Chen Luo doesn't feel that his future self will cause him trouble.

"Since you can't say that, can you tell me why you were willing to sign the contract with me in the first place? After all, the contract must be signed by the contracter himself," Chen Luo asked curiously.

As long as the contractor signs it themselves, whether it's a checkmark or a fingerprint, it's fine.
