Sign the Contract, with Your Soul
Although it will take more than an hour for Chen Luo to fully recover, half an hour is enough time for Chen Luo to move around freely.
"I will directly interrupt his brother," Raven said, staring at Chen Luo without hesitation.
"!!!" Chen Luo was startled when he heard Raven's words.
Oh, right, their situations are different. Chen Luo's partner is female, while Raven's partner is male.
But you can say whatever you want, why are you staring at me like that? What do you mean by that?
"So what were you doing at the beginning? And who gave you a bath?" Raven's gossipy expression was obvious.
"Ahem, I was referring to a friend of mine. I was asking on behalf of a friend," Chen Luo said after coughing twice.
"Well, whatever makes you happy, but there's one thing I still have to say: not all blame can be placed on your friends," Raven said with a sigh.
You dare to make up such a clumsy lie? You're hopeless.
"Emmm..." Chen Luo fell into deep thought.
"But speaking of which, even if you were forced to take a bath just now, didn't Little Sirin come up to you? Where is she?" Raven asked curiously.
"I already said, it wasn't me, it was a friend of mine," Chen Luo emphasized.
As for Little Sirin?
My brain is overloaded; I'm lying on my bed on the third floor, feeling dizzy.
LOL.
As for the Herrscher of Knowledge? I'll go find Fu Hua and report the Herrscher of Knowledge to her.
Speaking of which Fu Hua still has a mission to track down the culprit, and the culprit is definitely the Herrscher of Knowledge.
He then went and sold the Herrscher of Knowledge.
Let those Herrscher of Knowledge know that there are consequences for doing wrong.
"Pekora, come here for a second." Chen Luo called out to Pekora, who was huddled with Bai Liling and the others.
"Oh." Upon hearing Chen Luo's call, Pekora waved and got up from her seat, walking over.
"Speaking of this Pekora, there really isn't any way to tell from any angle that she's an angel," Raven said, shaking her head.
Working as a bartender in this bar was truly an eye-opening experience.
You can even see an angel who is so poor he's about to starve to death.
"And she ordered drinks several times after she was full. It's clear she was really starving. She drank beverages when she couldn't eat anymore. She alone contributed 15 stars to the bar," Raven exclaimed to Chen Luo.
"Did you call me for something?" Pekora.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just wanted to show you if you can still feel the sensation of me killing the angel," Chen Luo asked.
"This? Hmm, no, I can't feel it anymore." Pekora stood there staring at Chen Luo for a while before shaking her head.
"That's good." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that my assimilation by the demon realm did have some effect.
"But don't be too happy yet. Although I am an angel, I lost my Angel Ring, so I also lost my power. Therefore, my sensitivity to this kind of feeling is somewhat weak. Moreover, you killed an angel from Different World, which weakened you even more. So just because I can't detect it doesn't mean that the angels in your world can't detect it." Pekora poured cold water on this again.
"I see. But that should be enough." Chen Luo nodded.
Chen Luo felt that even if he were unlucky, he would never encounter another angel-type Talent User again. According to the introduction, aren't mythical-type Talent User rare?
However, I should still check with Xiao Ke'er to confirm the situation. After all, she is a member of the church, so it's normal for her to know more.
Chen Luo spent 100 Primogem on this trip to the Demon Realm, but in return, he gained a significant increase in physical strength and a partial boost in mental power.
As for whether it's worth it, it definitely is, but it would be even better if you could avoid spending those 100 Primogem.
The benefits that Infinite Serpent gained were definitely greater than those gained by Chen Luo, because the latter was the true serpent possessing the power of Little Evil God.
As for what benefits he gained, Chen Luo was still not quite sure, because after the Infinite Serpent was taken back into Chen Luo's body, it seemed to be digesting that enormous power and was therefore in a deep sleep.
Summoning is still possible, but it may disrupt this rapid digestion state.
It should take about 10 hours to digest, and once finished, I should be able to fight the Vortex Archon tomorrow.
The World Serpent's increased power was secondary; its greater strength lay in the extraordinary regenerative abilities it gained after devouring the flesh of the Little Evil God, as well as the valuable items it acquired after being recognized by the Demon Realm as a supreme demon inheritor.
At least the Infinite Serpent can shrink its body from over 50 meters to about three meters.
If it can shrink, it must also be able to enlarge, right?
"Jingle!"
Hmm? A new customer?
This is Chen Luo's first reaction upon hearing this ringtone, because his regular customers either haven't come or won't come.
Of course, it could be a misjudgment, but Chen Luo's intuition told Chen Luo that this might be a new guest.
Chen Luo looked up and saw a strange figure he had never seen before.
However, the other party seemed somewhat lost and disoriented.
"Welcome, guest," Chen Luo said warmly.
"Ah, sorry, wrong place." The customer looked up at Chen Luo, then looked around, and subconsciously said sorry before trying to close the bar door again.
"Wait a minute," Chen Luo quickly called out to the other person.
"Is there anything I can help you with? If not, then goodbye," the other person said coldly.
No, it can't be called indifference; it's more like a kind of despondency, as if one's heart has died.
It was as if he didn't care about anything in the outside world.
Even if Chen Luo is in the bar, he cannot harm others without the authority to grant him access. However, Chen Luo is the bar owner, so he has some privileges, including a relatively shallow Mind Reading.
Those Herrscher of Knowledge can Mind Reading.
"Do you have a wish?" Chen Luo asked after a pause.
"Misaka Mikoto."
"You... know me?" The name Chen Luo called out seemed to touch the other person's heart.
"No, I don't know you. I only know your name." Chen Luo shook his head.
"Playing tricks." Misaka Mikoto glanced at the boy in front of her, who looked a few years older than her, and then turned to leave.
It's not strange that one's name is known in Academy City.
"Well, don't be so boring. Since you've already made up your mind about life and death, why don't you listen to me say a few more words?" Chen Luo's figure suddenly disappeared from the bar, and when he reappeared, he was already leaning against the door that Misaka Mikoto was trying to close.
"Hmm?" Misaka Mikoto frowned upon hearing Chen Luo's words.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Don't be so wary of me. You're only a teenager. Isn't it a bit too early to give up your life so soon? Don't try to fool me. I can't be fooled." Chen Luo leaned against the Bar Door, looking at Misaka Mikoto was so close to him.
"And aren't you really going to check where you came in from?" Chen Luo reminded him.
Although Chen Luo didn't know where the other person entered the bar from, Chen Luo was certain it wasn't a normal place, because bars never appear normally.
"!" After hearing Chen Luo's words, Misaka Mikoto remembered what she had been doing and where she had just come from.
Yeah, how did this bar come about?
Misaka Mikoto subconsciously walked out of the bar, looked around, and then realized what had happened.
"What... what's going on?"
In certain special circumstances, people become extremely insensitive to their surroundings because they no longer care whether their environment poses a danger to them, such as those who are determined to die.
"Hey, Misaka Mikoto, since you're not even afraid of death, how about we make a deal? Trade your soul for a chance to make a wish... anything is fine. But only once." A mysterious smile appeared on Chen Luo's lips.
"A soul... in exchange for a wish?" Misaka Mikoto stared blankly at the person spouting nonsense in front of her.
"Don't believe me? Then... how about this?" Chen Luo glanced at Misaka Mikoto, who still didn't quite believe him, and snapped his fingers lightly.
Instantly, a jet-black magical power rose from Chen Luo 'Chen Luo body, enveloping Chen Luo completely in darkness.
This display of force startled Misaka Mikoto, causing her to take two steps back.
As the black magic gradually faded, Chen Luo was still Chen Luo, but he gave off an extremely cold and crazy feeling, and his crimson eyes clearly indicated that he was not an ordinary person.
A dark green magical energy formed a phantom cloak behind Chen Luo, which looked quite intimidating.
"Soul exchange... wish... are you... the legendary devil?" Misaka Mikoto stared blankly at Chen Luo.
There seem to have been a few more unexpected things happening today.
"I am the devil who grants wishes, so... do you want to make a wish?" Chen Luo glanced at Misaka Mikoto with disdain before speaking.
Phew, I finally succeeded in fooling him.
Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
When Chen Luo encountered Misaka Mikoto, his request radar went off like crazy, indicating that Chen Luo Misaka Mikoto was someone with a big request.
At least three stars or higher!
As for that jet-black magic, the dark green cloak, and the crimson eyes...
The crimson eyes originate from the Herrscher weaponry of the Herrscher of Knowledge. As the Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo shouldn't be the only Herrscher of Knowledge who can possess Herrscher weaponry, but Chen Luo doesn't.
The jet-black magic naturally originated from the spoils just obtained from the demon realm. Along with it came a dark, chilling, and terrifying aura.
The dark green cloak represents the power of the Infinite Serpent.
Actually, this set looks quite demonic, and may seem very powerful, but it doesn't help Chen Luo at all.
It's just something used to bluff people.
"A wish...?" Misaka Mikoto murmured softly.
"Make it clear beforehand that resurrection is not an option, especially not a large number of people." Just as hope was beginning to rise in Misaka Mikoto's eyes, Chen Luo poured cold water on it.
"Why? Didn't you say any wish would be granted?"
"Taking one person's soul and resurrecting another is a fair trade, but taking one person's soul and resurrecting a group of people is unfair. No one's soul shines brighter than anyone else's," Chen Luo said.
Okay, the key is that Chen Luo can't do it.
Honestly, resurrecting Kallen alone was already enough to give Chen Luo a lot of trouble. If resurrecting one person is this difficult, imagine how troublesome it would be to resurrect a group of them.
Chen Luo didn't recognize Misaka Mikoto, but he did recognize Void Archive.
The Void Archive gave Chen Luo a reminder, asking what kind of commission the other party was most likely to issue.
Seeing how distraught and even suicidal the other person is, there's no doubt they know about the Level 6 Shift Project. Therefore, their wish is either to revive the Misaka Sisters or to save the remaining Misaka Sisters.
After all, Misaka Mikoto is usually a very lively person, so this incident is the only one that could make her want to die for her cause.
"I see... Then, I need you to help me defeat Accelerator. No, I need your help to defeat Accelerator myself and then completely abolish the Level 6 Shift Project!"
"If you can grant me this wish, I'll take my soul!" Misaka Mikoto said, clenching her fist.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
[Misaka Mikoto's Ambition]: Help Misaka Mikoto defeat Accelerator herself and end the Level 6 Shift Project.
Rewards: 1200 Primogem + Esper Crystal (Electromagnetic Control LV5) + Limited Edition Gekota Medal + Group Communication Network Upgrade Card + Misaka Mikoto's Affection Level 30.
Difficulty: Four stars
1200 Primogem are great, but...
Looking at Misaka Mikoto's request, Chen Luo gradually lost his smile.
Will you personally defeat Accelerator?
Personally?
Can you beat him?
Chapter 351 Sign the Contract, with Your Soul
The Level 6 Shift Project, formerly known as the Mass Production Ability User Project, was originally intended to clone 20,000 espers using Misaka Mikoto's DNA profile. However, it was abandoned for some reason and was changed to the Level 6 Shift Project in order to make use of the waste.
Simply put, the plan is to create 20,000 clones of Misaka Mikoto, have Accelerator, the strongest level 5 in Academy City, defeat them one by one, and then evolve them into level 6.
