Paradise: Ready Player One

"Because it was created in my castle, if you insist, you can treat it as my bodily fluid."

Echidna's pink lips parted slightly, her tone full of mischief.

"So what's the matter, I don't drink less of this kind of thing on weekdays, but you can pour out such a full cup, you witch, it's much more moist than it looks."

Chen Ming looked indifferent, and even felt that the other party was a little strange.

"..."

Echidna suddenly felt that she had met her match.

Sure enough, in this world, only gentlemen (aa) can compete with the witch's distortion and pathology.

In fact, Echidna, who doesn't even have a body but only a soul, has no bodily fluids to produce. She said this just to tease Chen Ming, and to see how he would react by the way.

But if you insist on body fluids, there is actually no problem.

After all, in this empty dream city, the only thing that really exists is the soul of the lustful witch.

The tea that Chen Ming drank into his stomach was indeed created by Echidna using her own soul as the raw material.

Essentially, something more shameful than bodily fluids.

There is no problem with saying that it is the body fluid of the soul.

The function of this witch's tea is also very simple.

It is to help the people attending the tea party to minimize the influence of the witch's breath from Echidna.

For Chen Ming, it was just a taste.

"Since the guest's request, then I naturally want to meet it, and you like it so much, it really makes me a little shy."

While Echidna was talking, the tea in Chen Ming's cup was filled to the brim again.

"Then it's time to chat. If you want to know anything, I can tell you the answer."

Following Echidna's opening.

Suddenly, the atmosphere distorted, the vast sky and grassland scenery began to disintegrate, the sky cracked, the grassland dissolved, and the opposite side of the horizon shattered into dust.

But fortunately, the chair Chen Ming sat on and the teacup in his hand were fine.

"I know that you have a high level of attainment in the power of spirit and dreams, so let's go back to the original state, at least it will still look like a tea party."

Chen Ming was not intimidated by the battle in front of him.

To put it bluntly, it was just a dream.

"Sorry, subconscious habitual action"

Echidna restored the surroundings to their previous appearance, clapped her hands, and drew the attention of Chen Ming who was concentrating on drinking tea.

"Okay, what do you want to ask?"

"Ask Daphne, the "Gluttony Witch" who created a beast different from the Beast of Destiny in order to save the common people in the world from starvation?"

"Or is it the "*** witch" Camilla who wants to fill the world with love and give emotions to inhumans?"

"Or is it Minerva, the "Witch of Wrath" who sighs that the world is full of strife and heals everyone with violence?"

"Or the "Sloth Witch" Sehmet who drove the dragon to the opposite side of the waterfall just to bring peace and comfort?"

"Or is it the "arrogant witch" Typhon who keeps punishing sinners because of her innocence and mercilessness?"

Hearing the names of the witches being mentioned one after another, Chen Ming showed no expression, as if he didn't know what these witches themselves represented.

Echidna turned to the person in front of her again, put her hands on her chest, and continued as if mocking herself.

"Or is it the "Witch of Lust" Echidna, who craves all wisdom and turns into a lingering thirst for knowledge even in the afterlife?"

"—Or is it that the "Witch of Jealousy" who destroys all witches as his own food and is an enemy of the world, came for that annoying her?"

Speaking of the last one, the disgust on Echidna's face was undisguised.

However, after hearing so much from the lust witch, Chen Ming lifted the empty teacup, signaling to keep filling it up.

"..."

The expression on Echidna's face, who had just brewed a good mood, collapsed.

"Tea party, tea party, obviously the conversation is the key point, why do you only focus on drinking tea, although it is indeed a happy thing that someone likes my tea party so much..."

Echidna felt a little helpless at being unable to get to the main topic of the conversation, but she could only refill another glass for Chen Ming.

"Why is the smell so much stronger..."

Chen Ming clicked his tongue, a little dissatisfied.

But after noticing Echidna's increasingly unfriendly eyes, she could only correct her attitude.

"I don't care what you said, whether it's a witch or a dragon, I just want to know how the soul is materialized. Do you know the answer to this question?"

"The lustful witch who claims to know all the knowledge in the world"

After Echidna heard this, the lust that had been suppressed all the time finally broke out uncontrollably.

"It turns out that its name is soul materialization!"

"I'm so sorry, I don't know anything about this magic"

"The materialization of the soul, which is completely beyond the rules of the world, is simply an atrocity that tramples on the order of the world"

"It's really amazing, I want to know too much, I want to know too much, I'm so eager to know, my lust is stronger than ever, please satisfy me, I will give everything I have!"

Echidna's awareness of the existence of the "third method" was completely within Chen Ming's expectation.

Everything that has happened in this world cannot be concealed from that "Book of Wisdom", which is the power of the witch of lust, and can know the past and future of this world.

Think of it as "the memory of the world".

Echidna has yet to fully comprehend the magic formula contained in this power, and can only create a degraded version of the Gospel.

It is precisely because there is still this unknown that can slightly satisfy her lust, otherwise Echidna might have been completely distorted by endless desires for hundreds of years.

It can be seen how high the level of the "Book of Wisdom" is.

From a certain point of view, this "book of wisdom" can be said to be the root of this world.

However, Chen Ming didn't think that Echidna would be able to know his identity as a player in the paradise.

After all, he has an "identity" in this world.

How could the "Book of Wisdom", which even the "Third Law" cannot break through, break through the power of Paradise.

At best, it is incomprehensible how a wandering knight who has been "unknown" suddenly broke out.

This is also an unknown.

However, this level of unknown is not enough to look at in front of the "third method".

After Chen Ming created the Grimoire of Great Sins with the power of soul materialization, Echidna was completely immersed in this unknown miracle.

Put aside all the resurrection and the envious witch.

The power of this "third law" is really unheard of, it is a complete unknown and miracle.

"Are you going to sign a contract with me?"

Chen Ming tilted his head, staring at the lustful witch in front of him.

Only then did Echidna break free from the witch's posture, and returned to her original elegance, she stretched out her right hand like a work of art to Chen Ming.

"This is an exchange. You can also regard him as a contract. Use everything I have, including soul, knowledge, future and even other witches, in exchange for your satisfaction of my curiosity."

"What a cunning witch"

Chen Ming heard the loopholes in these words.

Satisfying Echidna's curiosity instead of exchanging the "third law", wouldn't it mean that if her curiosity cannot be satisfied, the contract will end.

And Echidna, who was seen through, didn't care, but said slyly.

"This is the greatest compliment to a witch"

She believed that with the chips she had placed on the balance, Chen Ming had no reason to refuse anyway.

What could be more suitable for perfecting the Mortal Sin than the Witch herself?

"Sounds really good..."

Chen Ming stroked his chin, showing an expression of interest.

Before she finished speaking, Echidna slapped the table excitedly and stood up.

"So that means?"

As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Echidna realized that her reaction seemed to be extreme and did not fit her original personality, so she hurriedly tried to save her.

"Ah, no... well, I mean..."

"Okay, there's no need to hide it anymore, you're all lust witches, don't I know how helpless you are before your thirst for knowledge?"

Chen Ming interrupted calmly.

"Ah~ It's really exciting to be able to sign a contract with someone who knows me like you."

Echidna walked up to Chen Ming, spread her palms, and continued.

"Anyway, let's put our palms together first"

"I thought it was about joining our lips to each other, it's so boring"

Regret was visible to the naked eye on Chen Ming's face.

"It's not impossible"

Echidna is quite liberal in this respect.

All the knowledge in the world is naturally indispensable to the things between men and women.

On a theoretical level, Echidna is far richer than Chen Ming, an old driver.

It can be imagined that after signing the contract with Chen Ming, combining theory with practical experience, Echidna will definitely become a master in this field.

However, Echidna's behavior of putting someone else's soul in the contract without their consent undoubtedly annoyed her other tenants who were boarding in this dream city.

"Echidna, what are you arguing for yourself? I have no intention of handing over my soul to a strange little brother."
