lol: Bind Syndra at the start

So…there’s a problem!

Sarah's heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable fear made her want to leave.

But at this time Mark raised his head and stared into Sarah's eyes with a pair of turbid yellow eyes!

Chapter 338 Embarrassed Tam

"A few ordinary people who can't even reach the threshold of the spiritual realm want to capture the great demon - Tahm Kench?"

The catfish opened its huge lips, and its laughter was like a devilish sound that made Mark's mind begin to tremble.

"Have you overestimated your own abilities, or underestimated the power of the devil?

"Before you came up with this suicidal idea, couldn't you use your brains for a moment? Humans are born with brains, yet you don't cherish them.

"What has time given you? Has it turned your brain into nothingness, turning you into creatures even dumber than those Azakana?

"My story spread across the rivers before Bilgewater was founded.

"Why haven't any righteous humans or anything else come to me over the years?"

Tahm Kench became more and more excited as he spoke.

It couldn't remember the last time someone tried to catch it, but when this happened again, it didn't feel scared, but instead thought it was a very interesting thing.

Humans who waste food always do things that the devil finds ridiculous. A group of meals that have been placed on the table actually try to break the diners' teeth.

Mark was like a puppet at this moment. His body no longer responded to his calls. Only his eyes could occasionally flash, revealing panic and fear.

"Do you know what happened to the last human who wanted to defeat me? Use your imagination. Oh, sorry, you don't have such a thing...

"Let me tell you, I didn't kill him outright. This ending is too boring. Only stupid humans like you would choose this method to punish others.

"My method was to manipulate his will and make him an extension of me. I manipulated him to get in touch with every one of his relatives and friends.

"Time is a wonderful thing. It imbues the material world with many colors not found in the spiritual realm... The passage of time allowed him to witness the power of the devil. After all his relatives and friends were devoured by me, I let him go.

"I still remember his back as he left, like a walking corpse. Mark, I remember your name. You were a forgotten mold. No one cared about you.

"But I believe your friends are different from you. Now let me see what they really want..."

Accompanied by Tam's voice, it slowly fell.

Mark felt an inexplicable force invading the depths of his soul.

His broken soul was completely unable to cope with the erosion of this external force. The last trace of Mark's consciousness was the afternoon he met the woman...

The red sunset dyed the sky red, and they turned the sea surface purple.

The woman's cheek was right between the sky and the sea. Her face was not delicate, but it made Mark feel a throbbing from the bottom of his heart at that time.

And now... the purple sea and the red sky flowed like melted candles, slowly turning into a muddy yellow.

...

...

What color are Mark's pupils?

A pair of blue eyes appeared in Sarah's mind, but slowly they turned gray...

She really couldn't remember what Mark looked like. No one would bother to observe a rotten guy who might die in a garbage dump at any time.

But Sarah was sure that the pair of yellow eyes in front of her, as turbid as river water mixed with a lot of mud and sand, could not be Mark's!

The alertness born from wandering on the edge of life and death countless times made Sarah want to leave immediately, but when she had this idea, she found that she had lost control of her body.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Didn't you come here specifically to find me?"

Mark's voice became unfamiliar, but the content of his words made Sarah couldn't help but get goose bumps.

The one he was facing was not Mark, but the devil named Tam Kench!

Sarah once thought that there was no difference between demons and humans. After all, Gangplank was a human, but his actions were more violent than those of demons.

And now she finds that she has underestimated the complexity of this world...

Bilgewater's "simplicity" in terms of power made her ignore those dangerous and mysterious forces.

The essential difference between demons and humans is not evil or violence, but strength!

"Where's your other companion? Did he go get reinforcements? Great, that saves me the trouble of looking for them one by one... Now let's see what you want to eat..."

Mark spoke incomprehensible words.

But the next moment, Sarah felt herself regaining control of her legs and feet.

Without any hesitation or pause, Sarah's first reaction was to take a step back and then rush towards the door of the tavern as fast as she could. However...

Where is the gate?

Sarah noticed only now that the noise and the smell of alcohol had long since faded, and that what she saw were not tables, chairs, or drunken pirates.

But a familiar wooden house...

A sign carved by my father himself hangs on the wooden house. Through the window, I can see a familiar figure leaning over the workbench, fiddling with those delicate little parts.

"Is this the place you remember most vividly?"

An unfamiliar voice sounded nearby, and when Sarah looked, a large, portly figure appeared near her.

Tahm Kench made his entrance, holding up his bowler hat in a comical pose.

The dim yellow eyes that frightened Sarah were staring at the gun workshop in front.

"This world is cold, but it's not cruel. It's you who allowed cruelty to penetrate your fragile and cold hearts... But you're lucky."

Tam flicked the brim of his hat. "You should have heard my story. The ancient river king would never deceive any human. Tell me what's in your heart... or should I tell you for you?"

"Do you want to revive them? Do you want to feel the warmth of family again?"

"You can do it?"

There was a tremor in Sarah's voice.

"Of course you can. The power of the devil is beyond your imagination. However, your request is very difficult, and the price you need to pay is higher than that of waste Mark.

"But you're not him. I saw your abilities in his memories. The renowned Miss Fortune is fully capable of paying the price to resurrect her parents..."

Tam slowly approached Sarah, and the voice seemed to appear directly in her ear.

"Now tell me, do you want to resurrect your parents, or let them die in front of you again!"

Sarah's face became ferocious, and some kind of emotionally arousing force was invading her nerves.

But after a long silence, she expressed another wish.

"I want you to kill Gangplank, and I'll pay any price if you can accomplish that!"

?

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Tahm Kench's catfish cheeks.

The great devil who had spent so much effort to create his own style was suddenly stumped by the request of his trading partner...

After a long time, the catfish opened and closed its mouth, and said stiffly:

"Change your request!"

These chapters are pretty good, they were coded by Yang Guo on Qidian single-handedly.

Chapter 339 The Devil's Deal

"Is this what the great devil is capable of?"

Sarah turned her head and looked at Tam's catfish face.

Demons may have many methods and terrifying abilities, but these abilities do not include hiding emotions and expressions.

She could clearly sense that the big catfish opposite was in an awkward predicament.

Taking this opportunity, Sarah glanced around at the space around her. She knew that she must still be in the tavern.

Perhaps to outsiders, I am just like Mark before, replicating the repetitive movements with the precision of a machine.

I must find an opportunity to escape from here, and then control my real body to escape from here!

Simple observation allowed Sarah to verify her conclusion.

This is indeed an illusion!

But Tam didn't seem to mind that others found out that this was an illusion...

Because when Sarah carefully observed her surroundings, she could easily spot many imperfect details, the murky and blurry border of the sky, a sudden hole in the lawn, revealing a dirty pirate leather shoe inside...

If flaws appear one after another in those incompetent small fry, it will be opportunities to turn the situation around.

But when such an obvious flaw appears in a big demon that has survived for who knows how long, it often means that the other party does not think you can escape because of it.

In every place where even a little bit of order still exists, the time a bad guy survives is a direct reflection of his strength.

Even the bounty office in Bilgewater raises its annual bounty for wanted captains who remain at large.

Even if they did not participate in any major events this year, being alive means that they have at least gone through a whole year of challenges and plots.

As for Tam... its strength has exceeded Sarah's cognitive limit.

Therefore, after discovering these loopholes, Sarah gradually calmed down.

She could only pin her hopes of survival on Ryan. The big devil underestimated the enemy and let Schwarzenegger go. At the same time, it knew that he was trying to escape, but it remained calm...

"Demons have their own rules. This has nothing to do with ability."

Tam answered Sarah, snapping his belly with his fingers, making a strange noise.

"What rules?" Sarah tried to remain calm. Every second of delay would increase her chances of survival.

And this is exactly what she is best at. Ever since she escaped from the fire, her life has basically been under pressure.

"The devil can see your potential, which means I can know how much money is in your wallet. I won't do business at a loss, and even if you can't afford the maximum, you can't get your wish from me.

"But I like your attitude. This kind of greed is the most wonderful thing in this world."

Tam never gets angry about a deal, even when Sarah puts forward unreasonable conditions, but the greed shown in this behavior makes his eyes light up.

The devil's life is not as easy as most people imagine...

There are indeed many stupid humans in this world, but most of them are of low status and have poor abilities.

Those who are capable of achieving something or are potential talents are too difficult to be controlled by emotions.

Even though their greed had almost solidified into substance, Tam could only watch helplessly at the greedy contents. He felt that even the original demons were not as evil and greedy as these humans!

Therefore, for Tam, a high-quality soul with potential like Miss Fortune is a delicacy that can only be tasted once in a hundred years.

Fortunately, it discovered it early. Miss Fortune had already revealed her abilities, but she was still in her infancy. Perhaps this was the blessing of the goddess of luck that pirates always clamored for...

Tam made a prayer gesture in front of Sarah.

The latter had no idea what the demon was doing.

Tam looked back at the imaginary studio.

"Young pirate, I suggest you hold on to the people you can save now, rather than chasing after those illusory things that are out of your reach right now.

"Think about your past life, your mother's warm embrace, your father's thoughtful advice... these things that have left you can come back to your life."

A demon is teaching a human how to cherish life. This picture is enough to make everyone feel weird.

Sarah was not affected by Tam, she asked back:

"If you can't even kill a human, how can you prove you can resurrect my parents?"

"These are two different things. It only takes a little bit of magical power to resurrect your parents.

"But killing a pirate king...tsk, someone paid a price far beyond what you can afford..."

"What price?"

Tam was silent for a moment, then the rumbling in his stomach woke him up, "Since you're a high-quality customer, I'll give you a piece of news for free.

"Someone came to me with a high price. His condition was that Gangplank would die at his hands."

"Who?"

"He himself..." Tam revealed a cunning expression, "His request is that he can only die in his own hands, and the price is to give me the soul of a great man every year.
