Facing the friendly, seriously injured spiritual monster that Lu Xin brought over and asked him to sign a contract casually, Xia Chong refused.

Just sign a contract for what?

The selection and signing of each contract creature requires full investigation.

You need to consider the difference in spiritual power level between you and it, as well as its ability and impact on reality.

We must consider the other party's growth potential and the possibility of backlash...

How could someone run over with a Mental Monster by its feet, throw it in front of him and say he wants to sign a contract?

Also, why can a single soldier clean it up so easily?

What level does the short-lived and terrifying spiritual power frenzy that just set off belong to?

"Huh?"

Lu Xin also didn't expect that Xia Chong would refuse.

Seeing her serious face, even a little frightened and angry, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Didn't we discuss it clearly just now?

If you want to investigate Hell's Gate, you need to enter the Tinder Building.

If you want to enter the Tinder Building, you need to get this Mental Monster outside.

The key is that to do this, you don't just have to kill it or bypass it. Considering factors such as not disturbing the real fire and being able to retreat at any time, it is best to put it here as one's own internal support, which can be used at any time...

The hardest part is to be able to use it at any time.

Even Lu Xin is not sure whether the monster in front of him who seems to have been convinced will rebel in the blink of an eye.

I don't have the ability to sign a contract...

Thinking this way, he shook his head slightly, a little unwilling to give up, and recalled the instructions given by Scalpel before he set off. He looked at Xia Chong carefully and said, "I have just confirmed that he is indeed a very friendly spiritual creature. You believe in my expertise. After signing the contract, it will definitely not try to bite you... As long as I can still find it, it will definitely not."

"In addition..."

As he spoke, his expression became serious. "Think about our mission."

"Hell's Gate, it's about to be opened. Who knows if they can make that 100 million before they open Hell's Gate..."

"... No, how about finding out the truth about them?"

"..."

Xia Chong listened to Lu Xin's expression, his expression gradually became serious.

Faintly, Lu Xin saw a picture of water in a pot bubbling and about to boil.

"There is hope..."

He was refreshed, with a sincere expression on his face, and sighed:

"In addition, this kind of friendly and powerful spiritual creature is still difficult to capture."

"If you contract-type ability users need to sign a contract with a powerful spiritual creature in order to increase your strength."

"Then, maybe you can upgrade from Intermediate Investigator to high-level this time?"

"Uh-huh!"

Xia Chong's baby bump visibly trembled, and he suddenly looked up at Lu Xin.

After a long silence, she asked slowly, "Is it really friendly?"

"Very friendly."

Lu Xin immediately assured him, kicked him lightly and said, "Look, he's not even moving."

The Mental Monster on the ground had an eye faintly visible on its skin, and it was carefully squinted.

After taking a look at Lu Xin, I immediately saw the girl with a weird smile squatting next to this harmless young man. I also saw the tall black figure next to him, and I also saw several little monsters with ferocious smiles looking at it with lingering interest.

Suddenly he shivered and stopped moving.

Stretch your body as much as possible to show your friendly side.

Xia Chong slowly stood up, looked at Lu Xin beside him, and then at Mental Monster lying on the ground.

Gradually, a look of determination appeared on her face.

Three minutes later, Xia Chong completed the contract signing with Mental Monster.

As a witness, Lu Xin observed the entire process of signing the contract with Xia Chong in detail.

All the processes seemed simple.

Xia Chong wiped some blood from his bloody leg and rubbed it on Mental Monster's body.

Then he voluntarily gave up the protection of his own spiritual power and allowed himself to be polluted by this Mental Monster.

But the strange thing is that this kind of pollution is not the kind of uncontrolled and infinite spread.

After it was partially contaminated, she stopped it and sealed it.

In Lu Xin's field of vision, you can even see the depths of Xia Chong's pupils, which are constantly switching pictures, as if there is a comic book-like atlas in the eyes. The pages of this atlas are turning rapidly, and on each page, there is a monster with a different shape.

After flipping through several pages, the appearance of Mental Monster finally appeared.

Xia Chong didn't seem to be at ease, and kept closing and opening it, several times to confirm that the monster was indeed there.

"It's done."

Xia Chong glanced at this Mental Monster, closed his eyes slightly to feel it, and said to Lu Xin.

The Mental Monster on the ground also sat up, looked up at Xia Chong with a confused expression, and then quickly lowered its head.

"That's good."

Lu Xin turned around with a smile, looked at Kindling Building, and said, "Can we go in now?"

As he spoke, he extended his palm towards Xia Chong, and stuffed the black playing cards into his bag.

Xia Chong almost felt like he was dreaming. He subconsciously reached out and held Lu Xin's hand, turned around and walked towards Kindling Building.

After walking for a long time, he suddenly turned back.

He accurately saw Mental Monster sitting in a daze on the shabby red sofa, and his eyes became even weirder.

While following Lu Xin, he continued to move forward. After pondering for a while, he carefully asked Lu Xin: "Are you in the fifth stage?"

Lu Xin also replied a little confused, "Probably not."

"Then what level are you at?"

"I don't know..."

"You don't even know what level you are?"

"How do I know? No one told me..."

"..."

After a conversation with unclear meaning and even more confusion on both sides of the question, Xia Chong and Lu Xin came to Kindling Building.

When I got closer, I realized that the reason why the entire Kindling Building showed such a complete and clear appearance in the abyss was because the surface of the entire Kindling Building was actually covered with a layer of muscle and blood vessel-like tissue, wrapping the building.

You can even see these muscles and blood vessel-like tissues squirming gently.

It doesn't even feel like a building, but like a separate existence in the abyss.

Even Lu Xin was slightly curious.

He looked at the flesh and blood tissue that covered the entire building, and for some reason, he felt a strong sense of familiarity.

This feeling is like remembering something but not really feeling it.

Probably many people have had this feeling. They saw a ball of minced meat on the ground and were suddenly surprised:

"Huh? This seems to be my friend's..."

"..."

The feeling was not real, just vague. Lu Xin subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to touch it, but took it back.

He did not come into contact with this mass of flesh and blood tissue to avoid unnecessary variables.

He just turned to look at Xia Chong: "Can such a door be opened?"

Xia Chong also frowned slightly, stretched out his fleshy little hand, and gently pressed it on the building.

A fat insect suddenly emerged from behind her shoulder and collar, and crawled upstairs.

I walked around the stairs quickly, especially looking at a certain door handle, sniffing it, and then came back.

Xia Chong immediately nodded and said, "No problem, you can open it."

Lu Xin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Look, I said I am very good at sneaking in..."

Xia Chong turned his head, took a deep look at Lu Xin, and said, "I believe whatever you say now."

After careful selection, Xia Chong took Lu Xin to climb up the Abyss Building and reached the 30th floor.

Here, Lu Xin also discovered the biggest difference between the abyss and reality.

Xia Chong is not Spider-type, but in the abyss, he can still walk on the building ignoring gravity.

It seems that some laws in reality are inherently invalid here.

At the same time, there will be some weird laws that do not exist in reality, but here, they need to be strictly followed.

Before officially opening a door, Xia Chong listened carefully.

After making sure there was no sound behind the door, she held the door handle, pushed the door gently and walked in.

"Click..."

Lu Xin and Xia Chong came to the real world and found that they were in an empty room.

The lights were off, letting in light from the corridor.

It can be seen that this is a small office, with only one desk and a small sofa placed against the wall.

There was a white coat hanging on the hanger next to him, and a pair of flip-flops on the ground.

On the desk, there are some uneaten instant noodles.

"Kindling Company is such a big company, but their headquarters employees still eat instant noodles?"

Lu Xin glanced at it and said curiously.

"Is that the point?"

Xia Chong looked alert and quietly came to the window near the corridor. He listened carefully to make sure there was no one outside. Then he turned to look at Lu Xin and whispered, "Kindling Building has come in. Now, all we need is to find clues about hell."

Lu Xin also looked nervous and whispered, "How to find it?"

Xia Chong untied a small black bag tied to his right leg and gently opened it.

He took out a set of precise silver instruments from inside and quickly assembled them.

At the same time, he said, "The realistic connection with hell will inevitably radiate powerful spiritual power."

"Although a place as strict as Kindling Building must have used a lot of materials to isolate spiritual power radiation during decoration, I believe that such powerful spiritual power radiation will definitely leave clear traces in the entire building..."

"If it cannot be detected on this floor, then we will move to another floor."

"Anyway, when we get close to that key place, we will definitely be able to detect something."

"..."

Lu Xin was stunned for a moment. "So professional..."

"I thought we needed to kidnap someone from the Tinder and ask him for specific clues..."

"..."

Xia Chong glanced at Lu Xin, as if seeing that Lu Xin was a bit amateur, his confidence returned again.

He said coldly, "That's Plan B you said."

While speaking, she had completed the assembly and then connected the electronic watch to her wrist. She stared at the screen and soon saw distorted lines and beating red dots appearing on the screen. Her expression suddenly became serious.

Lu Xin was slightly nervous and said, "Has it been detected?"

Xia Chong said expressionlessly, "Detected."

Lu Xin was slightly startled. "Where is it?"

"It's everywhere..."

The frustration on Xia Chong's face flashed. "Did Tinder not isolate mental radiation at all?"

"..."

Lu Xin didn't dare to disturb Xia Chong for a moment.

It seems that we can only implement plan B?

"Ding Lingling..."

But at this moment, the phone hanging on the wall in this office suddenly rang.

In the quiet and empty corridor, the phone rang unusually abruptly.

Lu Xin and Xia Chong were both slightly nervous. They looked at each other and looked at the phone that kept ringing.

After a while, Lu Xin suddenly thought of something and slowly reached for the phone.

"Hey you..."

Xia Chong subconsciously wanted to stop it.

But she was relatively short. As she stood up and jumped up again, Lu Xin had already picked up the microphone.

Then he shook his head slightly towards Xia Chong and quietly came close to his ear.

"What you are looking for is on the eighteenth floor underground."

In the microphone, Mom's voice rang out, rational and elegant.
