Alien Paradise.

Chapter 40 Something You Want Too
"So you haven't done anything like this before." Chaoyang had such expectations in his heart, but also felt a little disappointed. There was no counterpart in this world, and he was still an individual. "All your knowledge comes from the awakening of demons, but you have never had the opportunity to verify whether it is correct."

"I'm not evil—" Ai Luodi was about to refute, but when she saw Chaoyang put her hand into the flour bag, she immediately changed her words, "It's true that I have no experience, but it doesn't mean that other days... my companions don't either."

Chaoyang's heart trembled slightly.

Other companions?

This guy is not alone?
This is really great news!
His thoughts changed sharply. Originally, controlling Alodi was only an optional option, but at this moment the necessity of this option suddenly increased a lot.After all, he can't stay in another world all the time, there must be a time when he returns to Earth, and if a natural enemy targets him at that time, his situation will be quite dangerous.

And an angel in a cooperative state may dispel the hostility of other companions.

After a moment of silence, Chaoyang turned his head to look at Dan and Judy, "We will enter the final stage of the ceremony. Since we need to rely on the power of our Lord, please stay away for now."

"Well, can't I pay homage to your god..." Judy seemed a little bit reluctant.

Dan was very good at winking, "This is the work of God's envoy, which church will let outsiders go to God casually? Let's not cause trouble to our benefactor."

After the two left the room, Elodie still couldn't help showing a sarcasm, "God? What do you think of yourself? Only those with ulterior motives will make themselves extremely noble. You really are..."

"So what is it?"

Elodie stared at the flour sack beside him, but finally couldn't speak.

"If I were you, when I came to a brand new world, my words would definitely be more cautious." Chaoyang took out a dagger from his arms, and slowly approached the girl, "Because there are some existences in this world that are no different from gods. You don't know anything about them, but I touched them briefly."

The latter's complexion changed, but he quickly bit his lips and closed his eyes forcefully.

Obviously she would be threatened by the flour sack, but she didn't say a word of begging for mercy at this time.

"I don't know if you have thought about a question, why are you still alive? The moment you activate your ability, you are at the end of your strength, and the result of exhausting your strength is death... On this point, you and I are no different."

Elodie couldn't help being taken aback.

At this moment, Chaoyang dropped the dagger and cut the rope that bound her right hand.

Realizing the moment she regained her freedom, she couldn't help asking, "...why?"

"Because I saved you." Chaoyang said calmly, "I fed you a drop of wishing blood."

Alodie's expression froze.

"I don't know if this works, but it seems to work-so I can understand why the angel chases the demon and cuts it, because it can bathe the most demon blood. In a sense, You are no different from a bunch of vampires, you just succumbed to your own desires!"

"It's not like this... Destroying demons is to fight evil..."

"Including killing your own savior?" Chaoyang sneered.

Elodie was speechless.

He took advantage of the situation to pursue, "By the way, let me tell you a secret that is not a secret. In the past, the devil signed contracts with the goal of devouring souls, but that was obviously not a long-term benefit, and the risk was high. So the later awakened ones optimized the contract process. , changed to collect the will power—that is, the installment form of the soul. Although the one-time income has dropped, the cost and risk have also been reduced a lot. Didn’t your companion tell you about this series of changes?”

"Pay in installments?"

"In order to survive, we have to keep pace with the times." Chaoyang turned his hands, and the dagger in his hand instantly turned into a piece of A4 paper. The person who saves the next life should also give something back to appear fair?"

"I never ask for anything in return for saving people." When it comes to this, the girl seems to have ignited a little courage.She looked directly at Chaoyang and said word by word, "You don't want to use words to confuse me."

"Aren't you going to have a look before we talk?"

"No need! The rules of the ancestors tell us that any contract with the devil is a trap, you can kill me, but don't try to enslave my soul!" She paused, and added, "Instalment payment is also not acceptable! "

"No, I'm too lazy to kill you, because I'm different from you. I don't know how to kill people indiscriminately. The most I can do is drive you out of this world." Chaoyang pretended to withdraw the contract, "Of course, for the first time, I can treat it as you Mistake made in ignorance, but next time I won't be so polite."

"You really... want to let me go?" Alodi still couldn't believe it.

"Why not? Anyway, you can't do anything. Even if you see someone who really needs help, all you can do is watch from afar. In the end, you will only taste the bitterness of failure."

"What are you talking about?" She frowned.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about." Chaoyang smiled, "Without the power of the devil's wish, you will never achieve anything—because kindness without power can only exist on the lips, can't it?"

Elodie's eyes suddenly became like spikes.

Chaoyang knew he had guessed right.

This is the source of the dark emotion in her heart.

In fact, this flaw is not difficult to find. Considering that she is 16 years old, she has participated in too many organizations and activities. This can only show that she has not stayed in any organization for long.She keeps trying, but keeps failing, just because she has no "power".

In the era when demons are almost extinct, how can angels be better?Without the source of will power, people like Ai Luodi are just ordinary people.An ordinary person can do well if he wants to help his grandmother cross the road, but when he encounters a little bit tricky things, he will find that what he can do is quite limited.

And such frustrations tend to become more common with age.

"Now you have finally had a chance to change, but unfortunately you gave it up because of your short-sightedness." Chaoyang stood up and said in a regretful tone, "What does it matter if a worthless person is let go?"

"...wait a minute." Seeing that he was about to leave, Elodie couldn't help but said, "Could it be that you want to continue to provide me with wish power?"

Chaoyang didn't speak, but flicked the contract in his hand.

"Okay, you can bring it..."

"Is this how you usually talk to your savior? I think you should be more polite."

Alodie hesitated for a moment, and finally repeated, "Please show me."

Chaoyang accepts it when she sees a good deal, and handed the contract to her again, "I think the most important thing about a contract is fairness—considering your concerns, I will not collect rewards such as souls or willpower, on the contrary, I will pay Give you the blood of wish power for you to use in another world. You should know better than me what the power given by the awakening of talent represents."

This time, Alodi read the entire contract seriously, "And what I have to do...is to protect your safety? To act in accordance with the identity you gave me, and to provide you with help when necessary? It's absolutely absurd ..."

"But the essence of it lies in the termination of the contract, isn't it?" Chaoyang said disapprovingly, "What you're worried about is that you can't stop me from doing evil, or becoming my accomplice, so I specially wrote down the terms of the termination of the contract. Once I do If things turn to evil, and if you no longer do good deeds, the contract will be automatically terminated."

"...Who will decide?"

"Of course it's the contractor." Chaoyang chuckled, "That's you—Miss Elodie. But you have to pay attention to one thing, the contract is not determined by words. Once it is signed, it is the most stable guarantee in the world. Even if You repent immediately and verbally call me evil, and the contract will not be broken—because it weighs your heart."

"If what you are going to do has nothing to do with charity, can I ignore it?"

"good."

Alodi was silent for a while, "What if I attack you without rescinding the contract?"

"You will lose your soul at the moment of your action." Chaoyang spread his hands, "Believe me, the power of restraint is unmatched. In fact, not only can you not attack me, but you can't cooperate with others to murder me. Similarly, I can't harm you either. Restraint works just as well for me."

Seeing her eyes flicker, Chaoyang knew that success was only a step away, "I don't need you to trust me, just like I don't trust angels, the contract is the only reliable guarantee. Think about it from another angle, even if I don't save you You, you didn't come here, so can't we form such a mutually beneficial relationship? It is precisely because both of us are profitable that cooperation can exist beyond identity."

Chaoyang lowered his voice and seduced her softly, "You also need strength, right? Even though you have used all kinds of good deeds to keep your life alive on Earth, that's all. In the face of the evil, you who cannot use your natural abilities have no chance of winning."

This time, Elodie was silent for a long time.

Through the subtle expression changes on her face, Chaoyang could feel her inner struggle, as if the haze under the sun became more obvious.

After a long time, she asked slowly, "How much power...is there?"

"Naturally, it is calculated according to the weight of my vows. The more people I help, the more vows I gain."

"I can't stay here forever."

Hearing this sentence, Chaoyang knew that the matter had come to an end, "You don't have to worry about the time issue, even if you stay in another world for three or four days, it will only take a few minutes there... Wait a minute, the situation this time may be special. "

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, it was just an accident this time, and I will try to minimize the impact of jet lag in the future." He skipped the topic directly, "Besides...you don't follow me, how can you judge whether what I did is evil or not? What? Don’t forget, this is the key to the establishment of the contract.”

Alodi stared at him for a long time, and finally took a deep breath, "If you cross the border, I will never let you go easily."

"Hmm," Chaoyang handed her the pen, "I'm looking forward to that day."
