Guild Boss's Ambition

Make a contract with a madman?

It's not a cost-effective decision no matter how you look at it.

So, I put the scalpel back to my neck and cut a bloody mark on it: "Ehard, please don't challenge my bottom line again. This is the biggest concession! Make a soul contract or let me commit suicide on the spot, make your choice quickly!"

After struggling and frowning, Ehad finally made a normal decision: "Forget it, Hai Lao, please help check the contents of the contract she wrote. This Bai Ye is more cunning than the devil. Be careful that she plays with words."

Hai Lao agreed listlessly, then took out a piece of paper and pen from his space ring and placed them in front of me. Under Ehard's battle axe, I did not make any futile struggle, but only wrote down a slave-like soul contract clearly.

"I've finished writing it. Old man, can you help check it?"

Hai Lao took the contract, looked down at it for a few minutes, and nodded: "Except for a few strange clauses that are harmless, there is really nothing wrong with this soul contract."

"Strange clause?" Ehard asked puzzledly.

Hai Lao looked at me strangely, smiled with a sense of amusement, and replied: "Miss, you can understand those extra clauses as the little insistence of a necromancer. As for the specifics, I will not explain it here."

I gave Hai Lao a sensible look in return, and while stuffing the intestines that were exposed on the experimental table back into Miss Lan Nong's abdomen, I said with a smile: "Well, let's wake up the little guy and then sign this contract──"

"Wait! Those clauses... woooo..."

Before Ehard could be asked any further questions, he rushed to the side and vomited.

19. The power to judge others (Xiao Lan)

(Ulu-Lannon)

In my dream, I seemed to hear the choir of angels and to see the face of the Messiah. However, that peaceful and happy atmosphere was suddenly destroyed by the roar of a giant dragon, which scared me so much that I opened my sleepy eyes wide!

"do not want!"

"where is this place……"

However, the scene after opening my eyes was still like a dream.

I fell asleep on my bed in the dormitory and woke up in another room dominated by gray and black. The room was full of white bones and some strange instruments. What made me feel out of place was the combination of people in front of me.

"Sister Meng'er... Miss Bai Ye... Mr. Hai? Why are you all together? Am I dreaming?"

"No, you weren't dreaming."

Sister Meng'er held me in her arms with an unusually compassionate attitude and said calmly, "For some unbearable reasons, you were taken to your room by Bai Ye with ill intentions. She did some very bad things to you, but later Lao Hai and I arrived in time to stop her evil deeds. For safety reasons, we need you to sign a contract to restrict Bai Ye's actions."

The amount of information was so huge and so sudden that I had no idea what she was saying.

"Wait, I don't quite understand what you mean, Sister Meng'er? What exactly happened?"

I was full of questions, but Sister Meng'er just put a piece of parchment covered with unfamiliar symbols on the table, put a quill pen in my hand, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "I don't want you to know too much about the whole story. You just need to remember that your Sister Meng'er will never harm you, and then sign your name on this contract."

Sign paper?

The memory from Earth immediately sounded a warning bell in my heart: "Wait, Sister Meng'er, I don't think you can ask me to sign the contract immediately, because once I sign, I will have legal responsibilities. Besides, I can't understand a single word on the symbols on your parchment. If you want me to sign the paper, you should at least find a translator for me, right?"

Seeing how I was on guard against fraud, Sister Meng'er held her forehead in annoyance, then put the battle axe in her hand on Miss Bai Ye's neck, and then gave a wink to Hai Lao beside her.

"Sister Meng'er, why did you take Miss Bai Ye hostage?" I asked in surprise.

Hai Lao walked up to me, picked up the parchment, and answered on behalf of the president: "If the young lady doesn't take good care of Bai Ye, the three of us may not have a chance to leave this room later. As for the content of this contract, in short, it is a series of clauses that are beneficial to you. Although you can't understand the clauses, don't you trust the president of our Stone House?"

"But……"

I really feel confused that I was forced to sign something as soon as I woke up from a dream.

Sensing my hesitation, Hai Lao shouted in a deep voice: "There is no but. If there is really a problem with this contract, then even if I translate it for you on the spot, you can only get a bunch of content that I have revised. So, what you should consider now is not the contract itself, but the question of whether to believe it or not!"

A question of belief or disbelief?

I looked at Sister Meng'er, sizing up the first person I met in this world.

I remember she once said that she was a woman who loved money to the point of being crazy. If I was valuable enough, she would not be able to help but sell me out, but...

At that time, I still took the initiative to believe her.

It is precisely because she admits her ugliness that her personality appears more authentic.

I said nothing. I just exchanged a tacit glance with President Ehard, then awkwardly moved the quill pen, which I was still unfamiliar with, and signed my signature on the strange contract.

The moment the pen tip left the parchment, a strange and indescribable feeling suddenly shook my whole body. I immediately realized that something seemed to have changed in me, but I couldn't tell what it was. What was going on with this contract?

I looked at Sister Meng'er, Hai Lao and Miss Bai Ye in turn with doubt. Miss Bai Ye gently used her slender fingers to push away the axe blade on her neck. She slowly walked in front of me and knelt down to apologize to me strangely!

"Ms. Lan Nong, Bai Ye is begging you to forgive my past sins—"

Wait! What is going on here? Can someone explain this to me?

I looked at Sister Meng'er and Hai Lao for help.

Sister Meng'er showed a hesitant expression because of this.

Hai Lao forced out a very subtle smile and said, "Miss, given the little girl's curiosity, we will definitely not be able to keep this incident a secret for long. It would be better for me to explain the whole story once and for all, so that she can understand it sooner."

Sister Menger looked at me with a worried look. After struggling for a while, she agreed to Hai Lao's suggestion with a resoluteness like a hero cutting off his arm. She nodded and said, "Then, Hai Lao, please try to explain the situation to Xiao Lan as gently as possible."

Seeing their solemn expressions, I couldn't help but become relatively nervous. Thinking of Miss Bai Ye's profession, I began to feel vaguely uneasy. Could it be that some ABC virus had been implanted in my body?

amount……

It’s scary to think about it.

Hai Lao cleared his throat, his tone was not gentle at all: "Tonight, Bai Ye hypnotized you to your room, and then dissected your body for research. When we arrived, your internal organs had been neatly placed on the table, and your arms had been cut off. Your whole body was in pieces."

Anatomy?

Cut?

Fragmented?

After hearing what Hai Lao said, I suddenly felt that the look in Bai Ye’s eyes when he looked at me seemed a little weird.

"But now, am I not intact?"

Hai Lao explained with a smile: "We asked Bai Ye to repair your body, and in order to prevent her from doing anything bad to you during the operation, we decided to use the soul contract to solve this dilemma. Now, Bai Ye has become your slave. No matter what you ask, Bai Ye will do it. As long as you say a word, Bai Ye can die for you."

I looked at the white night in surprise.

The necromancer half-knelt on the ground and smiled at me gently: "Yes, I can die for you."

Seeing that Bai Ye had tacitly agreed to the fact that he had secretly dissected me for research, I felt as if I was still in a dream. The feeling of being deceived made me feel extremely uncomfortable, and I was unable to accept this sudden change for a while.

I cursed Bai Ye in deep hatred, "I can't believe that you would do such a terrible thing to me, Bai Ye. I trusted you so much in the beginning. Have you just been playing a trick on me for the past half month?"

However, there was no trace of regret on Bai Ye's face: "Yes, that was mostly just acting. Deceiving a naive child like you is as easy as breathing. Not only have I dissected your body, I have even erased your memory. When I dissected you for the first time, you let out a heart-wrenching scream..."

"you……"

"You bitch—"

I was so surprised that I was speechless. Sister Meng Er beside me turned her anger into action. She slapped Bai Ye in the face with her backhand, her eyes as cold as frost: "Witch, have you talked enough nonsense? Are you ready to die?"

Bai Ye, kneeling on the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She remained silent and just stared at me quietly.

Seeing the silence of the necromancer, Sister Meng'er's lips were solemnly pressed together, and she raised the cold battle axe high above Bai Ye's neck. As long as she slashed down hard, the deceiving necromancer would definitely be beheaded!

"Ebi, help me cover Xiaolan's eyes──"

Sister Meng'er's voice was extremely cold.

My vision was also darkened by Ebi's hand.

I realized something was going to happen.

Something I don't want to witness.

but……

Does just because you can’t see it mean it doesn’t exist?

Do humans really have the power to inflict death on others?

"Wait—"

A certain fear hidden in my heart made me shout loudly to stop Sister Meng'er from executing her.

The battle axe only cut off Bai Ye's hair, saving her life temporarily.

"Xiao Lan, why did you stop me? Do you really know what disgusting things this woman did to you?"

"But……"

"But what yarn?"

My head was in a mess when Sister Meng'er questioned me. I could only ask her drowsily, "Although Bai Ye sounds guilty, is it really right for us to abuse lynching here? Since we have subdued her, shouldn't we send her to court and let her receive the trial she deserves?"

At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly spoke.

"A court trial?"

The necromancer mocked us in a positive tone: "Ms. Lannong, I advise you to give up this rotten idea. To be honest, all my actions are protected by the law. If you really take me to court, it will be you and Miss Lannong who will get into trouble in the end."

"Huang──"

Before President Ehard could scold, Hai Lao on the side also spoke up to echo Bai Ye's statement: "Miss! Bai Ye really did not deceive us on this matter. If this matter goes to court, it will not benefit us at all. If we want to punish her, then we'd better do it privately."

"Why do we get into trouble when the matter goes to court?"

"Why?" Sister Meng'er asked the question in my mind.

Hai Lao glanced at me and replied vaguely: "There is no reason, it is just the fact."

"What is meant by the fact is this."

Sister Meng'er grabbed Hai Lao by the collar and questioned him, but Bai Ye burst into a crazy evil smile at this time -

"Miss Lannong, what are you hesitating about?"

"You can just put aside your meaningless sense of morality and execute me. If you kill me, can't you completely stop me from harming your body? If you kill me, you can stop the evil of a necromancer forever. If you kill me, can't you avenge the lives that have been tortured by me?"

"I am essentially just a despicable, selfish, evil, cold-blooded necromancer. Even if you kill me on the spot, no one will blame you. Even the whole world will applaud your righteous act and regard you as the embodiment of justice! So, dear Miss Lannon, what are you hesitating about?"

At the end of her words, Bai Ye actually looked at me as if I were a fellow human being.

It's like looking at a...

Despicable, selfish, evil, cold-blooded...

presence.

Humanity.

"Sorry, I'm a little tired and want to rest first."

I avoided her questions.

20. The Monster in Chains (Ebi)

(Ebi)

After the fierce battle, everyone felt tired. I sent Miss Lannong back to her room and cast a calming spell on her. Since she had never experienced the dissection process personally, she did not show too much fear. But precisely because she had no those terrible memories, I was really worried that the little girl would doubt the trust between people.

After all, being betrayed feels really bad.

After settling the little janitor girl down, I returned to Bai Ye’s room.

There was an eerie silence in the necromancer's room.

There was anger in the silence.

Bai Ye leisurely drank the black tea she had just brewed, and the eldest lady stared at Bai Ye intently.

"Miss Lannong has fallen asleep."

"Well, I see."

I reported the situation of the little janitor to the eldest lady, then turned and walked towards the hole in the floor. I bent down and began to repair it with earth magic, but once a delicate thing is damaged, even if it is repaired, it will still leave traces of imperfection.

Tap!
