Alien Paradise.

Chapter 4 City of Will
However, the question is, if this divination house is really so effective, why is it located in such a remote place?
People with this ability should find it difficult not to make a fortune.

"There is no trouble... Or, your divination results are very accurate, and I have benefited a lot from it."

The old man smiled, "That's good."

"Can I take it again? For example, the future fortune..." Shi Dong asked after thinking about it.

The other party stared at him for a moment, then shook his head, "I can feel that you no longer have any imminent worries. And once you lose this, blind divination will only bring blind results. In addition, I must remind you, child …Praying always comes with a price, and this price is like a snowball, everyone can afford it at the beginning, but when it rolls over, not everyone can afford to withdraw.”

Also... I don't need to think so much.

Shi Dong suppressed all kinds of thoughts welling up in his heart, and let out a long breath. Whether it was a coincidence or something real, the other party was equivalent to helping him.In a sense, the old man was my sister's savior, and he couldn't and shouldn't speculate on the bad side.

Shi Dong reached into his pocket and put three silver coins on the low table.

"This is the fee."

"Wait a minute, there is one more thing to be done." The old man stopped him, turned around and took out a thin piece of paper. "We have agreed that the divination needs to be completed in the form of a contract. Only when you complete the signature, this matter will be considered."

"Hey, it's impossible for me to use my name and seal on this thing." Stone frowned—the other party did mention a similar request during divination before, but he didn't take it to heart at all.Isn't it just for a word of money when you come out to beg for work? Once the money is in place, everything is easy to talk about. How can there be so many rules. "Is it okay to pay one more Salier head office?"

"Whatever is agreed is what is agreed, and the contract cannot be changed." Unexpectedly, the old man directly rejected his proposal, "Of course, I can also understand your concerns, so the signature does not necessarily have to be written down or stamped, as long as Sincerely, any imprint will do, including your fingerprints, items you carry with you, even a strand of hair."

I'm afraid this person is crazy, he would rather exchange silver coins for hair?

Since there is no need for a signature, Stone didn't bother to say anything, he pulled out a hair, pasted it on a thin paper, and read out the last sentence, "The contract is completed. Is this okay?"

The old man showed a satisfied expression, "The contract is complete."

Shi Dong didn't want to stay for another moment, he stood up, walked out of the shed with a bent waist, the moment the curtain was lowered, he felt an invisible pressure disappear, even the air in West Street seemed to smell much better .At the same time, a sense of fatigue also hit his heart, causing him to lose his usual steadiness in walking.

Hope I never come back here again.

He took a deep look at the signboard on the shed, and walked towards the city wall.

……

"Huh, is this the feeling of wishing back? It's too fragrant..." Chaoyang closed his eyes, felt the heat in his body, and couldn't help but sigh.This kind of experience is like a person who has been hungry for seven or eight days, tasting delicious food again, and there is no need to worry about being stuffed to death.

It's a pity that the weight of this prayer is not too big, and the surging heat subsides quickly. Although the urgent need is relieved, after deducting various expenses, it is estimated that it is enough to maintain the life of the little boy for half a month, far from the point of peace of mind .

"We have to keep looking for customers." He licked his lips and murmured.

It is hard for Chaoyang himself to believe that a month ago, he was one of the thousands of migrant workers, but now he has become a "demon" that crosses the two worlds.

All the unimaginable changes came from the morning when he woke up.

That's right, he awakened and became a demon, a species that is said to rely on the power of will to survive.Just as a mammalian cub automatically seeks its mother's milk, he also understood the key to his own survival at that moment.

That is to find people with urgent desires, satisfy their desires, and collect their souls—or the power contained in the souls.

Then Chaoyang discovered that the world he was in... no longer had such a thing.

Obviously, the eastern temples were still overcrowded, and there was an endless stream of worshipers in the west, but he just couldn't absorb a trace of vow power.This is not to say that the situation is hopeless, it is at least hopeless.

Of course, not at all.

For example, when making a wish on a child's birthday, or looking for the owner of a lost cat or dog, he still occasionally catches the glimmer of wish power.But this is not even the feedback of mosquito legs, and it can't change the situation at all. Even the consumption in the process of fulfilling the prayer is more than what you get.

Demons without willpower will gradually decline and eventually usher in death, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is like suffering from an unknown terminal disease.

What's more frightening is that he still can't refuse the shock.

At the moment of awakening, Chaoyang also knew the essence of the devil's bloodline - it does not rely on blood inheritance, it awakens randomly, just like buying a lottery ticket.It runs through human history, whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, perhaps when human beings have the concept of prayer, it has already appeared.

During this month, Chaoyang resigned from his job and wandered around the world, just to find a petitioner with a strong wish, or to find someone of the same kind.

But the result was desperate, he couldn't find both, and his body became weaker and weaker.

It is not difficult to infer that all the unlucky ones who awakened as demons are all dead.

Just when Chaoyang thought he would follow in the footsteps, an unexpected opportunity appeared—the Consonant Eye did not lead him to find the same kind, but found a strange crack.With the idea that he would die anyway, he used all his strength to pass through the crack, and then came to this magical place called Brilliant Fort.

... Chaoyang came out of the shed through the back door.

The moment he left the divination room, his old age and thinness quickly receded from his body, like a layer of skin.In a matter of seconds, he was a completely different person.

Of course, even in the appearance of a young man, it is not his original appearance.Chaoyang knows that the more concealed his identity is, the better. After all, he is a 100% outsider to this unknown world, and he should be cautious in everything he does.What's more, compared to his identity, he has something more to be afraid of——

Chaoyang walked out of the street and looked up at the city.

Under the vision of the eye of consonance, countless beams of light shot up from the city, piercing the sky like pillars.They have different colors, some are as blue as ribbons, and some are as red as sunset.

That is the spectacle created by the power of will.

It made the city sparkle, and even without the flashing neon lights, Splendid Fort was brighter than the big cities he was familiar with.

You know, what you can see most of the sun on the other side of the crack is dull gray, as if the whole world is surrounded by cold cement.

It's a pity...he can't take all these attractive sources of power as his own.

Because all these beams of light "have an owner".
