I Live Forever in Memory

Chapter 086: I'm Smart

A contract has a different meaning in this world.If non-intellectual creatures can also obtain "protection", then the "contract" itself has a protection of [world recognition].

In other worlds, if you sign a contract with others, even if it is in black and white, you only need to pay liquidated damages or the price stipulated in other contracts after breaking the contract, and you will be fine.In the world of CongZero, a contract is a hidden and mandatory ability.

For example, the contract between Parker and Emilia is: After Emilia dies, Parker will start to destroy the world; the contract between Edozina and Betty is: guard the forbidden library until the arrival of "that person"; The contract between the "Ruzhi Meier" and Echidna is: unconditionally obey any order of the lust witch and her apostles.

These are contracts, and they are all enforceable.This coercion can be regarded as "the consciousness and rules of the world", and most people in this world will not question it.

Just like few people on Blue Star would question why Blue Star revolves around the sun, for people in the zero world, this is a default world law.

The "consultant" and "accomplice" that Echidna is talking about right now sounds very nice, but Li Lin is not stupid enough to immediately agree to it as soon as his head gets hot.Liu Zhi's sentence "Don't think too much about the witch" is still in his heart.

"What you said, no matter how you look at it, I'm taking advantage of it."

Li Lin looked at her and guessed the meaning behind her words, "Then, if the contract is the product of an equivalent exchange, what do I need to pay. 'Get all the knowledge and assistance of the lustful witch', what do I have to exchange what about this?"

Echidna stretched out a finger upon hearing this, "Only one thing, I also want to see other worlds. Apart from that 'modern world' and this world, I also want to see other worlds. That's all That's all."

"..."

She was very sincere, but Li Lin couldn't figure it out.How is she going to see other worlds?Do you want to be like Petichius and force your soul into his spiritual world?There is only one consequence, that is, to be burned to ashes by the flame of goddess consciousness just like Petichius.

In this case, even if he goes to another world in the future, how can she follow him?If I signed a contract with her, if I can't complete it by then, I will be sanctioned by this world for violating the contract, or can the existence of the "goddess" directly invalidate this binding law?

"What are you hesitating about?" Echidna tilted her head to look at him, and said softly, "Sign a contract with me, and you can save the person you want to save."

Yes, if it is her, with that kind of superhuman comprehension ability, if she can return to the world of giants in the future...give her the injection, and she will be able to understand the mystery and make an antidote, right?

"I……"

The word "agreed" swirled around his lips, but Li Lin swallowed it back in Echidna's expectant eyes.

"Take it easy," he said.

"...Yes." Echidna was a little disappointed, but it was only fleeting. However, the next second she suddenly said, "Hurry up."

"what?"

"You are not the only candidate." Echidna sat back on the chair, gracefully picked up the teacup, and took a sip, "There are others, too, among my candidates for the contract."

"... Subaru Natsuki?"

"That's right." The smile on Echidna's face was as cunning as a child playing a prank, "What about infinite regression, does that mean endless trial and error opportunities and knowledge acquisition? By the way, the child now But you are running over in a hurry, and you are also anxious to find answers and solutions to the crisis. Speaking of which, the crisis you are facing now comes from the same person—my student, I really like to cause trouble."

and many more.

Speaking of Roswaal, Li Lin suddenly thought of something and looked at her strangely.

You must know that Roswaal's actions are all carried out according to the book of wisdom, and the above content...is decided by Echidna.

Li Lin suddenly felt that she was leading all of this to this point, and his mind gradually calmed down.Roswaal wants Emilia to be isolated, is this also Echidna's idea?Maybe, but if her goal is not Emilia, but someone else, such as me, or Natsuki Subaru... then, what she wants should be me or Natsuki Subaru to ask for help, so it is logical... to reach a contract ?

Thinking of this, he felt startled, and his attitude towards her changed a little. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "I want to challenge the second trial."

"kindness……?"

Echidna didn't know why Li Lin suddenly mentioned this at this time, he continued: "However, I don't want to ask questions this time. If the challenge is successful, I want an exchange."

"Exchange?" Echidna smiled, "Why should I make an exchange. Your challenge is not for me."

"Really, you actually want the sanctuary to be liberated, right?"

After Li Lin finished speaking, the girl asked calmly, "Why do you say that?"

"Although I don't know the past hundreds of years ago, this enchantment is not only used to restrict mixed races. If I had to guess, you, there is no way to leave here. Roswaal would rather be seriously injured He is also trying to challenge the trial, why? Even if he is a lunatic, he is also a lunatic with a brain, and he will not do such a thing without any benefit—unless it is for his 'teacher', a rare irrational time?"

"No one has been able to pass this trial for many years. The difficulty should be obvious to all. Do you want to continue to wait? Or do you want Subaru Nayue, who can be reborn infinitely, to pass." Li Lin paused, "No .”

"No?" Echidna heard some implication, "What do you mean?"

"Because I have a hundred ways to make him die, so that he can't get close to this place. Your ability is only effective in the tomb. How about it? Do you want to continue to wait? Wait for an unknown time to pass?"

huh... huh...

The conversation between the two stopped and fell into silence, only the wind echoing on the hills echoed in their ears.

After a long time, Echidna sighed softly, "I've been threatened."

Li Lin is silent, he always feels uneasy if he does not solve this crisis by himself.Even if Natsuki Subaru can successfully resolve it, who knows if it will take several more returns?He didn't want to waste so much time waiting.

"What do you want in exchange?"

"After completing the second trial." Li Lin took out the Gospel from his arms, "I hope you can modify the contents of the book of wisdom in Roswaal's hand."

"..."

"How you want to modify it is up to you, as long as you don't let him engage in 'climate magic' and other things. For you, this should be just a trivial matter, right?"

"Revise the content. Do you know, Li Lin." Unexpectedly, Echidna called his name, "The Book of Wisdom is a collection of huge amounts of knowledge. After giving it a purpose, it will automatically Carry out calculations to achieve the goal. The calculation will result in a 'best route', and this route is the content of Roswaal's book."

"If I want to modify it, I will make him look far away. He will definitely not be willing."

"You don't tell me, I don't tell you, how can he know. After all, he... never doubted the contents of that book, didn't he. Not only her, but also Betty in the forbidden library.' That Do people' really exist?"

"Why, do you still care about her?" Echidna chuckled, "I just gave that child a reason to live. To fill her empty shell with a support. Otherwise, lose this reason, Self-dissolution is her choice—do you want that?"

"If it's her choice, yes."
