Alien paradise

However, the question is, if this divination house is really so effective, why is it located in such a remote place?

For people with this ability, it should be difficult for them not to make a fortune.

"It's not troublesome... In other words, your divination results are very accurate, and I have benefited a lot from it."

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

"Can I take advantage of it again? For example, the future fortune and so on..." Shi Dong thought about it and asked again.

The other party stared at him for a moment, then shook his head, "I can feel that you no longer have any immediate worries. And once you lose this, blind divination will only bring blind results. In addition, I must remind you, child …Prayer always comes with a price. The price is like a snowball. Everyone can afford it at first, but when it gets bigger, not everyone can get out of it.”

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

Shi Dong suppressed the various thoughts that surged in his heart and let out a long breath. Whether this was a coincidence or true, the other party was equivalent to helping him. In a sense, the old man is his sister's savior. He cannot and should not speculate on the bad side.

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

"This is the fee."

"Wait a minute, there is one more thing that has not been completed." The old man stopped him, turned around and took out a piece of tissue paper. "We have agreed that the divination needs to be completed in the form of a contract. This matter will only be settled when you complete your signature."

"Hey, there's no way I can use my name and seal on this thing." Stone frowned - the other party did mention a similar request during the divination before, but he didn't take it to heart at all. Isn't it just for money when you come out to ask for a living? Once the money is in place, everything is easy to talk about. How can there be so many rules? "Should I pay one more Thrill head office?"

"What is agreed upon is what it is, 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 have to be written down or stamped with a seal, as long as Be sincere and any mark will do, including your fingerprints, items you carry with you, or even a hair."

Is this person perhaps crazy and would rather trade silver coins for his hair?

Since there was no need to sign, Shi Dong didn't bother to say anything else. He pulled out a piece of hair, pasted it on the tissue paper, and read the last words, "The contract is completed. Is that okay?"

The old man looked satisfied and said, "The contract is completed."

Stone didn't want to stay for a moment longer. He stood up and bent down to walk out of the shack. The moment the curtain was lowered, he felt an invisible pressure disappear immediately. Even the air in the West Block seemed to smell much better. . At the same time, a sense of fatigue also hit his heart, causing his steps to lose their former stability.

Hope I will never come back here again.

He took a deep look at the sign on the shack and walked toward the city wall.

…

"Huh, is this the feeling of wishing back? It's too fragrant..." Chaoyang closed his eyes, feeling the heat in his body, and couldn't help but sigh. This experience is like a person who has been hungry for seven or eight days and tastes delicious food again, without having to worry about being starved to death.

Unfortunately, the weight of this prayer was not great, and the surging heat quickly subsided. Although it relieved the urgent need, after deducting various expenses, it was estimated that it would only be enough to sustain life for less than half a month, and it was far from the point of sitting back and relaxing. .

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

Chaoyang found it hard to believe that more than a month ago he was one of the tens of thousands of migrant workers, and now he has become a "demon" who straddles two worlds.

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

That's right, he awakened and became a demon, a legendary species that relies on the power of wishes to survive. Just like a mammal cub automatically seeking mother's milk, he also understood the key to his survival at that moment.

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

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

Obviously, the Eastern temple was still overcrowded, and there was an endless stream of worshipers from the West, but he just couldn't absorb a single bit of wish power. This situation is not to say hopeless, but at least it is hopeless.

Of course, not at all.

For example, when making wishes for children's birthdays or looking for owners of lost cats and dogs, he can still occasionally catch the glimmer of wishing power. But this feedback, which is not even a mosquito leg, cannot change the situation at all. Even the consumption in the process of realizing the prayer is more than what is obtained.

A demon without the power of will will gradually decline and eventually die. To outsiders, it looks like it is suffering from an unknown terminal disease.

What's even 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 and awakens randomly, just like buying a lottery ticket. It has existed throughout human history, both ancient and modern, at home and abroad. Perhaps it has already appeared when humans had the concept of prayer.

During this month, Chaoyang quit his job and wandered around the world, just trying to find a petitioner with powerful wishes, or find someone of the same kind.

But the result was disappointing. He couldn't find either of them, and his body became weaker and weaker.

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

Just when Chaoyang thought that he would follow in the same footsteps, an unexpected opportunity appeared - instead of leading him to find the same kind, the Lingxi Eye discovered a strange crack. With the thought that he would die anyway, he used all his strength to pass through the rift, and then came to this magical place called Brilliant Castle.

... Chaoyang got out of the shack through the back door.

The moment he left the divination room, his age and thinness quickly receded from his body, like a layer of skin. Within seconds, he transformed into a completely different person.

Of course, even if he takes the form of a young man, he is not his original appearance. Chaoyang knows that the more concealed his identity is, the better. After all, he is a 100% outsider in this unknown world and should be cautious in everything he does. Besides, he has something more fearful than his identity——

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

Under the vision of the Eye of Lingxi, countless beams of light shot up from the city, reaching straight into the sky like pillars. They have different colors, some are blue like ribbons, and some are red like sunset.

That is the wonder created by the power of will.

It made the city shine. Even without the flashing neon lights, Brilliant Castle was more dazzling than the big cities he was familiar with.

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

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

Because all these light pillars "have owners".
