The Devil Inside

Chapter 2 #002 The world line seems to have changed. Is that ok?

The nickname of the brave Leila is "Tianmu".

She is favored by the Lord and has golden eyes that can see through the marks of others. She can find out the other party's background before the fight even starts and is very shameless.

In the game, she is a two-headed pixelated figurine, but now she is a 1.65-meter-tall beauty.

The hair on one side of the pink medium-length hair is braided into several small pigtails, which is very delicate.

Her golden eyes sparkled, and the corners of her lips were raised with a smile. The brave woman in front of her gave people a strong sense of affinity. She had a gentle, mild and docile aura.

While playing the game, Han Solo noticed something -

Leila Justin’s character is very “kingly”.

They are sincere, cheerful, courageous, silly, and the most classic "slow" type.

Han Solo calmed himself and asked, "How do you know what my sigil is?"

Leila narrowed her eyes and said complacently: "Don't underestimate my intelligence network. Your 'Tundra Weaver' is an interference type mark with healing ability, right?"

Oh my god, Jiraiya.

"I've seen the illustrated manual in the library of Arendelle. The rarity of the Tundra Weaver is only silver-level, but its performance is even stronger than some gold-level engravings. The 'Weaver Totem' is an excellent healing spell, which is very effective."

Along with the sound of iron boots stepping on the ground, a cold voice sounded.

The girl with long black hair behind Leila had no scruples. She stepped on the chest of the fallen adventurer and walked closer.

There were bright red marks on the toes of the silver-white iron-clad boots.

Han Solo judged that she must have kicked some unfortunate adventurer's hemorrhoids.

Black looked at Han Solo and made a clear invitation: "Sir, Leila and I are planning to deal with the 'Dead Zone' east of Mill Town. Our team is short of a helper. Would you like to come along?"

The so-called dead zone is a unique area formed by the extension of high-level demonic power.

What was originally an ordinary forest became a veritable forbidden area for humans after being polluted by magic.

All creatures in the forest, whether tigers, leopards or insects, will be transformed into bloodthirsty monsters that want to kill people.

The adventurers sitting in the guild hall all came for the newly formed dead zone east of Mill Town.

You can earn one silver coin a day, and if you work for one day you can have ten days off.

Han Solo remained calm and said, "Exploring the Dead Realm... This job is not easy. Twenty silver coins a day. I can go with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the adventurers sitting in the hall turned their heads to look.

Twenty silver coins a day?

What's up, is your skin made of gold, or is your flesh made of gold? Is it safe to cook?

If he was really that valuable, middlemen would have come to him to sign agency contracts and make a lot of money from the difference. Why would he need to come to the guild hall in person, with so many people staring at him spontaneously?

"Who is this idiot?"

An adventurer asked his companion softly.

The man with long black hair and clear eyes looked Han Solo up and down: "Twenty silver coins a day, I can afford it. But sir, are you willing to accept a small test of mine? I want to know if you can meet my requirements."

Han Solo frowned, quite surprised.

Is this part in the game?

It seems not!

After Han Solo manipulated the protagonist to talk to Leila, he immediately joined the team without any test.

Why now...

"Why, you don't want to? Or do you have no confidence in yourself?"

There was a mischievous look on his long, black face, and a sarcastic smile at the corner of his lips.

She took two steps sideways, came to the booth, picked up a piece of fried peanuts from the plate on the table, and shook it in front of Han Solo.

"Tundra Weaver is a jamming seal that has the ability to restrict the opponent's actions. I have a peanut in my hand. Next, I will eject it. If you can intercept it, you will pass the test, okay?"

May I?

do not know.

Han Solo was new here and hadn't used his abilities yet. He didn't know if he could use "Silk Spin" in time to intercept a peanut the size of a fingernail in mid-air.

But at this point, there is no room for saying no.

He nodded and said, "Let's get started!"

"Pay attention——"

The man with long black hair was not playing tricks. He flicked his middle finger and the fried peanuts made a sharp sound of breaking through the air and shot towards the wall on the side!

In less than a second, the peanut hit the wall without breaking or bouncing back.

It was like a bullet, deeply embedded in the wall.

A wisp of white smoke floated up. It was the heat generated by the intense friction when the peanuts swirled and penetrated into the bricks.

From beginning to end, Han Solo did not take any action.

He was motionless like a turtle, as if... he was not reacting.

"Yeah, so fast!"

"This woman... is incredibly strong! She bounced peanuts into the wall? What kind of supernatural power is that!"

After a brief silence, the adventurers present were filled with admiration.

Black looked at Han Solo with great disappointment!

She needed to admit that she was a little bit disrespectful.

She had just done her best to snap her fingers. She wanted to give Han Solo a warning and kill his spirit so that they could cooperate better next time.

As long as Han Solo responded, even if he failed to intercept successfully, Blackie would accept him into the team with a tolerant tone and an open mind, and pay him in full.

but……

"Was it too fast? He didn't even have time to raise his hand. This is such a poor performance. Even if I want to let him off, it's hard to find a suitable excuse! This person is much weaker than I thought."

What should we do now?

Trying to save face by force would probably only make the atmosphere more awkward.

"Not bad, well done!"

During the silence, the brave Leila suddenly spoke.

She took two or three steps forward, stood on tiptoe, patted Han Solo on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I declare that you have passed! Welcome to join us, my name is Leila, Leila Justin; this is Rachel Darkwood, we are the 'Engraver' from Arendelle."

and many more……

Pass?

Don’t talk nonsense with your eyes open when you see where you passed the test!

Rachel looked puzzled, and before she could ask, she saw Leila open Han Solo's clenched hand, pinch something from his palm, and put it into her mouth.

Crunch.

She chewed it twice and swallowed.

That is--

One fried peanut.

Rachel realized something. She walked towards the wall and observed the "bullet" that hit the wall. She was shocked to find that it was not a peanut, but a ball of white spider silk!

Without her noticing, Han Solo replaced the peanut with spider silk and used unknown means to put it in his palm.

How can this be?

From the peanut popping out to hitting the wall, the whole process took less than a second. How did this black-haired man lose the bag?

"……what have you done?"

Rachel asked.

Han Solo is unfathomable: "If you tell me, it's no longer mysterious."

Rachel was a little dissatisfied: "I hate the unknown, please tell me the answer."

Chapter 3 #003 Small Magic and Plunder

Han Solo looked at Rachel Darkwood, trying not to look at her breast window.

He said: "You have good finger strength. Peanut was flying very fast, but I was actually able to intercept it in the first place. It was just for the sake of show effect that I chose to intervene at the last moment."

This is a lie.

The peanut was flying so fast that by the time Han Solo noticed it, it had already hit the wall and was about to shatter.

Logically speaking, he didn't have time to cast the spell.

The performance of “Tundra Weaver” is not bad, but he just traveled through time today and has never used his skills once. How to deal with it?

only--

Although Han Solo has lost all his strength, the combat experience and spellcasting skills of the "Time Lord" are still intact!

In a flash, he instinctively used the "silk-spinning" technique, and the spider silk that should have shot out from his palm actually formed on the surface of the peanut.

how did you do that?

What are the principles and techniques used?

Han Solo didn't know.

I don’t know, but I can do it.

The peanuts, which had been broken into countless small particles and scattered in all directions, were wrapped in spider silk and became whole again, becoming a "bullet" that shot into the wall.

All this happened in just a moment.

Han Solo continued: "When the peanut hit the wall and made a sound, everyone's attention was attracted. I cast a spell at that time, and no one paid attention to me, except Miss Leila."

"I have sharp eyes!"

Leila was elated.

Rachel was not satisfied with this explanation.

She pressed on, "Maybe I was distracted at that moment. But how did you get the peanut in your hand? The wall was three meters away from you. I don't think I would be so careless as to not even notice that you pulled the peanut back."

"Humph."

Han Solo smiled but said nothing.

"Hum-"

Leila was also laughing: "Rachel, when did you develop the illusion that... that was the same peanut?"

"……what?"

"For example," Laila said, picking up two peanuts from a plate at the next table and holding them up to her eyes, "can you tell the difference between them?"

Han Solo didn't keep the secret any longer. He raised his hand and clenched it into a fist. "I cast a spell twice. Once, I wrapped the peanut you shot with spider silk, and once I took another peanut from the plate on the table and held it in my hand, so that people would have the illusion that 'this is the same peanut'. This is a magic trick, a little trick that is not worth mentioning."

A crude method, surprisingly effective.

Rachel reviewed the entire process and thought that the black-haired man in front of her was very cunning.

Use the sound of peanuts hitting the wall as cover to quietly cast spells;

He hid a peanut in his palm and replaced the original with another one.

Being able to wrap the flying peanuts with spider silk, his spellcasting skills were better than Rachel expected.

And his operation of swapping the packages can be said to be imaginative.

Imagination and creativity are qualities that an excellent spellcaster needs to possess. Throughout history, the top spellcasters who have left their names in history are all people with quick wits.

“Excellent!”
