"I don't care who you are! What have you done to other people?" Dick looked solemn.

"Relax, Demon Hunter." Yuejiqi made a gesture of pressing down with both hands and comforted,

"Those people were only temporarily frozen by my [Space Freezing Spell]. There is no danger to their lives. They will return to normal after I leave."

"Then why didn't you freeze me just now?"

"Even if I want to freeze you, you, like those disgusting warlocks and druids, belong to [extraordinary beings], completely different from the mortals next to you. My power has been greatly reduced in the human world, and [Space Freezing Spell] cannot control [extraordinary beings] like you at all."

"Besides, I just want to chat with you, why should I... freeze you?"

Dick's brain is spinning rapidly:

The man in front of him said that because of his identity as a demon hunter, he could not freeze himself, which meant that he could not cause harm to him for the time being, and the lives of the others were not in danger;

But what does he mean by "in this mortal world"?

Is he an alien demon?

Dick Although his heart was turbulent, his face remained calm.

"Tell me again who you are?"

"I like to be called [World Jester] by others, which means that I can play happily in this world. Of course, you can also call me Yuejiqi, which is my name in the world." Yuejiqi seems very patient.

"Are you a devil?"

"You can call me that, anyway, humans have called me many names, devil, evil spirit, monster or Deity, who knows?" Yuejiqi replied nonchalantly.

"You," Dick asked tentatively, "What is your relationship with that quilt [Demonized Arachas]?"

"Oh?" Yuejiqi looked appreciative. "He is indeed a demon hunter who was given the title by the queen of the world. He actually knew that it had been affected. That Arachas, I would have forgotten about it if you didn't mention it."

Yuejiqi turned around and touched the corpse of the blood spider with his left hand. A green illusory figure slowly appeared in the corpse. Dick could barely identify it as a man.

Then the palm of Yuejiqi's left hand slowly pulled and sucked the figure in. The figure was obviously resisting, shouting in fear, "No, please! I haven't taken revenge yet!"

But it's of no use.

When the green figure was completely swallowed by the palm of his hand, Yuejiqi turned around and looked at Dick with satisfaction.

"You were very smart, you didn't take advantage of it just now."

Dick has his own considerations in mind:

When Yuejiqi appeared behind him just now, he didn't notice it at all. This showed that his strength must be unfathomable. Maybe he just deliberately lured him into action so that he could find a reason to deal with him.

"The education I have received over the years has taught me that I will never take advantage of others' danger." Dick said righteously, "Now can you tell me what is going on?"

"Of course. Did you also see the green soul just now?

"That is not the soul of Arachas, but the soul of [Jiatu War Rider] who was captured by Duke Amara after losing the war a few years ago.

"As an elite member of Jiatu's army, he was strong and strong. After being captured by Duke Amara, he was not executed immediately. Instead, he was thrown into a silver mine to work as a miner, which was equivalent to an indefinite punishment.

"Thanks to his strong body, unlike other miners in the silver mine who were assigned for various crimes, most of whom could only survive for one year before dying of overwork, he survived for three full years.

"In the past three years, out of resentment towards Duke Amara, the resentment in his heart has accumulated little by little, and there is only one chance to explode.

"But the Duke had inspected the mine several times, and he did not dare to take action. Instead, he transferred his resentment to the kind-hearted Lady Amara and his daughter.

"Lady Amara and Vanessa are both too kind-hearted and have completely different attitudes towards these miners than the Duke. They often take advantage of Duke Amara's absence to go to the mines with some cooked meat to improve meals for the miners who have committed unpardonable crimes."

Then Yuejiqi smiled sarcastically, "It is your human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong."

Seeing that Dick still had a straight face and said nothing, Yuejiqi continued:

"And I am wandering around in this world, looking for interesting souls everywhere I pass.

"By chance, I met a man who was cursing the Amara family behind a huge boulder in the mine.

"What happened after that was very simple. I signed a very fair bet with him.

"He wanted to take revenge on the Amara family, the mother and daughter to be precise, and I provided him with some abilities so that his soul could be attached to a very small Arachas.

"When Lady Amara is condolences to these miners, take the opportunity to get into her ears.

"And I also gave this man some abilities similar to those of the devil [Feikexai].

"Lady Amara is always worried about the Duke going to war, worried that he will die in battle.

"This kind of obsession will make [Feikexai] powerful. You have met [Feikexai] before. I believe you also understand this truth.

"How do you know that I have met [Feikexai]?" Dick was surprised and became more cautious.

Seemingly seeing through Dick's vigilance, Yuejiqi said slowly:

"Don't worry, I don't know the details of all your experiences.

"It's just that I can smell [Feikexai]'s unique stink of greed on you, and of course the smell of the skeleton.

"I also signed a bet with that skeleton. Does he want to use you to cancel the bet? Interesting."

Dick If you don't understand why, listen quietly.

"I won a bet from [Feikexai] and obtained his small ability to swallow obsessions. This ability has no effect on me, so I naturally took advantage of the deal with [Jiatu War Rider] to transfer this ability to him.

"The content of our contract is that if within 7 days he does not start a killing spree and scare Lady Amara and her daughter to death, then he will be truly free.

"If not, his soul belongs to me.

"Obviously he failed, thanks to your help, Dick."

"You're here just to tell me this?"

"This is just incidental. The main reason is because I am interested in you."

"Are you interested in me?"

"Yes, you are an interesting person.

"Before I was 20 years old, I started working as a killer at the age of 12, and my hands were stained with the blood of countless innocent people.

"And in recent days, I suddenly changed my ways and returned to my right ways. Yes, in the words of you humans, I 'returned my evil ways and returned to my right ways', but in my opinion, I just suppressed my nature...

"First, I killed the three Alchemy warriors among the monsters, and then helped the lord guard Odinburg. The various tasks that followed...

"It can be said that in these short few months, your life experience has been magnificent and your body has shone brightly. I passed by Northern Kingdoms and it was difficult not to notice you."

"Let's be honest, what do you want to do?"

"I want to sign a bet with you, how about it?"

"I'm not interested in signing a contract with the devil." Dick refused without hesitation.

"In addition, if my guess is correct, then even if Jatu War Rider wins the bet, he should be free in the form of a spider and will not change into a human form again."

Yuejiqi stared at Dick for a long time before withdrawing his gaze:

"You really don't trust the devil. Sometimes the devil's contract is more honest than human words.

"Forget it, when you are in crisis one day, I will appear. Then I hope you will change your mind."

"I will never sign a contract with you. Also, will you harass the Amara family in the future?"

"I am a principled person. Only [principles] will allow me to have fun in this world for thousands of years, and this principle has turned into [rules] that bind myself. Don't worry, unless they take the initiative to find me, they will not have any interactions in the future."

Yuejiqi once again made a gentleman's salute, and then it slowly broke and dissipated in the air like a bubble.

It's like he... never showed up.
