Alien paradise

"So you haven't done anything similar before." Chaoyang had such expectations in his heart, but also felt a little sad. There were no peers like him in this world, and he was still a single individual. "All your knowledge comes from the demon's awakening, but you have never had a chance to verify whether it is correct."

"I'm not evil -" Elodie was about to retort, but when she saw Chaoyang put his hand into the flour sack, he immediately changed his words, "I do have no experience, but that doesn't mean other days... my companions don't either."

Chaoyang's heart was slightly shocked.

Other companions?

Is this guy not alone?

This is really great news!

His thoughts changed rapidly. Controlling Elodie was originally only an optional option, but at this moment, the necessity of this option suddenly became much more important. After all, he couldn't stay in another world forever. He had to return to Earth at some point. If a natural enemy targeted him at that time, his situation would be quite dangerous.

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

After a moment of silence, Chaoyang turned to look at Dan En and Judy, "We will enter the final stage of the ceremony. Since we need to rely on my Lord's power, we ask you to avoid it for the time being."

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

Dan En was very discerning, "This is the work of His Majesty the Messenger of God. Which church would casually allow outsiders to worship God? Let's not cause any trouble to our benefactor."

After the two of them left the room, Elodie still couldn't help showing a sarcastic look, "God? What do you think of yourself? Only those guys with ulterior motives can portray themselves as extremely noble. You are indeed..."

"What is it?"

Elodie stared at the flour bag beside him, but in the end she couldn't say anything.

"If I were you, I would definitely be more careful with my words when I came to a new world." Chaoyang took out a dagger from his arms and slowly approached the girl, "Because there are some beings in this world who are no different from gods. You know nothing about them, and I have touched them briefly.”

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

She was obviously threatened by the flour bag, but she didn't say a word for mercy at this time.

"I wonder if you have ever 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 using up your strength is death... In this regard, there is no difference between you and me."

Elodie couldn't help but be stunned.

At this moment, Chaoyang dropped the dagger and cut off the rope binding her right hand.

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

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

Elodie's expression hardened.

"I don't know if it works, but it seems to work - so I can understand why angels chase demons and kill them, because they can bathe in the most demon blood. In a sense, You are no different from a bunch of vampires, you are just succumbing to your own desires!"

"That's not the case... destroying demons is to fight evil..."

"Including killing his savior?" Chaoyang sneered.

Elodie was speechless.

He took advantage of the situation and pursued, "By the way, let me tell you a secret that is not a secret. In the past, demons signed contracts with the goal of devouring souls, but that was obviously not a long-term gain and the risk was also high. Therefore, the later awakened ones optimized the contract process , changed to the form of installment payment of willing power - that is, the soul. Although the one-time income has dropped, the costs and risks have also been reduced accordingly. Didn't your companions tell you about this series of changes? "

"Pay in installments?"

"In order to survive, we must keep pace with the times." Chaoyang turned his hand and the dagger in his hand instantly turned into an A4 piece of paper. "Now it's time to talk about repayment. In Miss Angel's simple values, what is the Shouldn’t it be fair to give something back to someone who saves a life?”

"I never ask for anything in return when I save people." Talking about this, the girl seemed to have regained some courage. She looked directly at Chaoyang and said word by word, "Don't try to confuse me with your words."

"Why don't you take a look first and then talk?"

"No need! The rules of our 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 then added, "Not even those who pay in installments! "

"No, I'm too lazy to kill you, because unlike you, I won't take people's lives indiscriminately. The most I can do is expel you from this world." Chaoyang pretended to take back the contract, "Of course, for the first time, I can treat it as you. A mistake made out of ignorance, but I won’t be so polite next time.”

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

"Why not? You can't do anything anyway. Even if you see someone who really needs help, all you can do is look at it from a distance. In the end, all you will taste is the bitterness of failure."

"What are you talking about?" She frowned.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about." Chaoyang smiled, "Without the devil's will, you will accomplish nothing - because goodwill without power can only exist on the lips, right?"

Elodie's eyes suddenly became like spikes.

Chaoyang knew that he had guessed correctly.

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

In fact, this flaw is not difficult to detect. For a sixteen-year-old, she has participated in too many organizations and activities. This can only mean that she did not stay in any organization for a long time. She keeps trying, but keeps failing, just because she doesn't have "power".

In an era when demons are almost extinct, how good can angels be? Without the source of their willpower, people like Elodie are just ordinary people. An ordinary person can help an old lady cross the road, but when encountering something a little more difficult, he will find that what he can do is quite limited.

And this kind of frustration becomes more and more common as we age.

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

"...Wait a minute." Seeing that he was about to leave, Elodie couldn't help but said, "Do you want to continue to provide me with your wishes?"

Chaoyang did not speak, but flicked the contract in his hand.

"Okay, bring it..."

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

Elodie hesitated for a moment, then finally repeated, "Please show me."

Chaoyang accepted it and handed the contract to her again, "I think the most important thing about the contract is fairness - taking into account your concerns, I will not charge souls or will power, on the contrary, I will also pay I will give you the blood of my will for you to use in another world. You should know better than me what the power given by talent awakening means."

This time, Elodie read the entire contract carefully, "And what I want to do... is to protect your safety? I also need to act in accordance with the identity you gave me, and provide you with help when necessary? It's simply ridiculous. …”

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

"...Who will decide?"

"Of course it's the contract person." 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 it is If you immediately regret it and call me evil verbally, the contract will not be broken - because it measures your heart."

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

"good."

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

"You will be shaken to pieces, the moment you act." 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 team up with others to murder me. Likewise, I can't harm you, either. Restraint works just as well for me.”

Seeing her eyes twinkling, Chaoyang knew that success was just a step away, "I don't need you to believe in 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’re not here either, can’t we form such a mutually beneficial relationship? Precisely because both of us are profitable, cooperation can exist beyond identity.”

Chaoyang lowered his voice and seduced her softly, "You also need strength, right? Although you have used various kind deeds to maintain your life on earth, it is just that. The lack of willpower limits you from showing off your talents. In the real world, In the face of evil, if you are unable to use your innate abilities, you 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 slowly asked, "How much is your wish...?"

"Of course it is calculated based on the amount of wish power I gain. The more people I help, the more wish power I gain."

"I can't stay here forever."

Hearing these words, Chaoyang knew that it was done, "You don't have to worry about time. Even if you stay in another world for three or four days, it will only be a few minutes away... Wait, this time the situation may be special. "

"What's the meaning?"

"It's nothing. This is just an accident. I will try my best to minimize the impact of jet lag in the future." He skipped the topic directly, "Besides... if you don't follow my actions, how can you judge whether what I do is evil or not?" What? Don’t forget, this is the key to establishing the contract.”

Elodie 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 the pen to her, "I'm looking forward to that day."
