Their commission was suspicious.

Are you there? Why did you choose such a task name?

Where in the entire quest is it written that it relates to "my body"?

And if I say I'll only let the other person go to the Type-Moon world for a minimum of 400 Primogems, will I really give them a minimum of 400 Primogems?

Fine, I'll let it slide since there's a random reward.

Sigh, random rewards are getting harder and harder to come by lately.

"Alright, the contract has been signed." Chen Luo said, handing the contract to Yakumo Yukari.

Generally, after a contract is signed, it is handed over to the other party. Only after the contract is completed will Chen Luo's Book of Contracts record the contract.

"jingle"

"Uh, Chen Luo, why are there so many disgusting bugs at your doorstep?" The wind chimes rang out, and as soon as Mebius entered the bar, he saw a huge swarm of bugs, densely packed at the bar entrance, making it impossible to step out.

"Uh, it was an accident, but it's not a big deal. Anyway, you don't have to leave." Chen Luo waved his hand after seeing that it was Little Möbius.

Anyway, Mebius never had to walk; he simply sat on the floating robot that Velvet had made and floated around.

"However, this thing is indeed a problem."

If it weren't Möbius but someone else, seeing these insects would indeed easily evoke disgust, and it would be impossible to step over these densely packed, somewhat bulky insects to enter the bar.

With a wave of his hand, Chen Luo dismissed all the insects that had been transformed into his puppets.

“What are these things?” Mebius asked, frowning.

"A bunch of bugs from another world, they're definitely not good stuff, kids will get styes if they look at them."

"Chen Luo, how many times have I told you? Don't try to coax me like you're a child!" Möbius said, sounding unusually agitated after hearing Chen Luo's words.

"Hey, you didn't tell me?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"...Fine. Just remember not to talk to me like that. And don't call me a child," Möbius said, annoyed.

"So... Snake, do you think there's still a possibility that your figure can grow?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"Mind your own business!" Mebius glared at Chen Luo.

After realizing that his gaze couldn't kill, Mebius poked the insects with his fingers, which were covered in metal cots.

Mebius was somewhat interested in the insects from another world.

Although it does look a bit disgusting.

"We're going to explore other worlds soon, Snake, do you want to come?"

"...Do you think I can go? Or do you *allow* me to go?" Möbius rolled his eyes at Chen Luo.

"Uh, okay, never mind."

Mebius is only able to come to the bar because of the special circumstances there; going to another world would indeed seem a bit of a stretch.

"Anyway, it's not like I haven't been there before. I'm not interested. It's just the Type-Moon universe, isn't it?" Möbius sneered when he saw Chen Luo's expression.

"Hmm? Oh."

Chen Luo was indeed surprised when he heard the name from Möbius, but upon closer reflection, it wasn't surprising that Möbius, who had been to the bar in the previous civilization, knew these things.

Speaking of foreseeing the future, Chen Luo remembered that he originally planned to summon Raiden Mei tonight, but plans are subject to change, and it seems that he will have to go to other worlds to expand his territory again.

That means I can only summon Raiden Mei when I have some free time before the lottery draw; cramming at the last minute isn't a bad idea.

"Since you know the inside story, Snake, tell me what you'll experience?" After hearing Mebius's words, Chen Luo moved closer to Mebius.

"Don't get so close to me. Stay away from me." Möbius pushed Chen Luo's face away in disgust.

"Don't be so formal, Snake."

"I don't know much about the Type-Moon universe. I only know that you've been there, and I've been there occasionally, but for very short periods. After all, we're not in the same research field, so why would I be interested in that world?"

Möbius's research focused on biology, while the Type-Moon world was more about magical knowledge.

They are definitely not in the same research direction.

“However, that third method of soul materialization is quite interesting, but unfortunately it’s not suitable for me.” Möbius rarely showed a regretful expression.

“Materializing the soul, immortality… that’s really not suitable for you. After all, Snake, isn’t your most important goal right now to grow taller?” Chen Luo patted Mebius’s head.

Mebius wasn't pursuing immortality; in fact, if it were merely about immortality, he had already achieved that.

Immortality is definitely not a problem. If you don't age, whenever you feel old, you can commit suicide and become young again.

If one suicide isn't enough, then commit suicide a few more times.

Furthermore, while fusion warriors can indeed grow up and age slowly, their growth cycle is extremely long. Just look at the Shenzhou tablet, which took 5 years... *cough*

In short, Möbius was pursuing the infinite.

Although the materialization of the soul results in an immortal soul, it is also possible to create a perfect physical body that matches the immortal soul.

But in Möbius's view, there is nothing truly perfect in the world, only things that are more perfect.

"Little lab rat, just say you want to die." It's clear that Mebius was very angry about Chen Luo's insult.

"Don't be angry, come on, smile. And tell me what you want to say." Chen Luo pinched Mebius's face without any politeness and forced a smile on his face.

"Slap!" Mebius angrily slapped Chen Luo's hands away.

However, Mebius didn't seem particularly angry, just annoyed.

“According to the contract, I can’t reveal too much to you. Alicia and the others kept your secret on their own initiative, worried that the distortion of history would cause trouble for the new civilization. I’m different; I signed a contract with you, so I can provide you with even less information,” Mebius said, pulling Chen Luo’s ear.

"Contracts... what a troublesome thing."

Chen Luo knew it was hopeless when he heard about the contract.

Chen Luo was aware of the binding nature of the contract.

"Aren't there any loopholes or anything like that in the contract you signed?" Chen Luo asked again, still somewhat unwilling to give up.

What do you think? Do you believe your future self will leave a flaw in your past that even you can see through?

"Ugh."

That's what they said, but the fact that there were no loopholes to exploit did indeed disappoint Chen Luo.

"Alright, Snake, you're useless now, you can leave." Chen Luo walked back to the bar in disappointment.

"..." Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Mebius followed silently and then delivered a hard blow to the back of Chen Luo's head.

Although it's not appropriate to hurt each other in a bar, Mebius was still unhappy if he didn't give Chen Luo a taste of his own medicine.

"Alright, Chen Luo, hurry up and open the door. I'm really looking forward to that other world." Yukari Yakumo, who had already signed the contract, urged Chen Luo impatiently.

"Honestly, are you always in such a hurry to rush me? Don't you know how to prepay for the goods or something?"

Chen Luo was definitely referring to a slice of the opponent's abilities.

"Shouldn't payment be made on a cash-on-delivery basis? Let's talk about it after you've fulfilled my wish," Yukari Yakumo said, shaking her head.

"alright."

As he spoke, Chen Luo walked towards the entrance of the bar.

......

"..."

An old insect... An old man who didn't look very kind and was also quite ugly stood at the entrance of the basement, frowning as he looked at the insects surging back and forth inside and the white-haired man floating in the sea of ​​insects.

"What happened?" Although he didn't ask it aloud, the question still echoed in the old man's mind.

"Hey, Yan Ye, you... never mind, judging from your appearance, you probably don't know anything, right?" Looking at the white-haired man whose body had been crawled over by countless insects, the old insect hesitated to speak.

The other person's lifeless eyes testified to their current mental state.

Although the other party did persevere in the transformation for a year, their mental state was still in a state of disarray during the "Heart Devouring by Ten Thousand Insects" phase.

From a certain perspective, Matou Kariya is indeed a person with extremely strong spirit.

The person standing at the basement door, watching Matou Kariya being devoured by countless insects, is Matou Kariya's legal father, but in reality, he is an old monster from hundreds of years ago—Matou Zouken.

An old insect that transforms itself into an insect, parasitizing others to prolong its lifespan. Its body is no different from that of a monster. Because of this, it dislikes sunlight and usually hides in dark places.

Although I have indeed had experience as a champion of justice, ... that's all in the past.

The old bug is just an old bug now.

The old insect looked down at the insects in the basement and Matou Kariya floating in the sea of ​​insects.

The old insect indeed sensed that its insects had suddenly lost contact with it, and there were quite a few of them, numbering in the hundreds.

Although they only represent a portion of the insects in the entire insect bank, they are still a force to be reckoned with, especially when the old insect came to the basement and found nothing unusual, which made the old insect even more vigilant.

To enter one's magic workshop without warning and then steal one's familiar is something that makes one take the other's existence seriously, as well as their purpose.

After pondering for a moment, the old insect tapped the basement floor with its wooden cane. The insects that had been churning in the insect chamber froze for a moment without warning, and then countless pieces of information began to flow into the old insect's mind through the connection between its master and its familiar.

Immediately afterward, as if receiving some kind of instruction, the insects quickly and orderly gathered together, and then slowly stacked themselves into a strange shape.

"..." The old table frowned as it looked at the huge door in front of it.

It looks like the door of a bar, with a name written on it.

"Midnight Bar?" Old Bug was quite knowledgeable enough to recognize the four Chinese names on the bar's sign.

Why did this thing suddenly appear?

The old insect was completely baffled.

Just as the old bug was about to order the bugs to break formation and return to normal, a beam of light suddenly flashed in the dark basement. A bar door, almost identical to the structure the bugs had built, suddenly appeared in the gloomy basement, only a step away from the door that looked like it had been constructed by the bugs.

Old Bug was stunned for a moment when he saw the bar door that suddenly appeared in front of him.

"what's the situation?"

The situation here also attracted the attention of a white-haired adult male who was originally floating in the sea of ​​insects.

Just now, this light seemed to appear once, but Matou Kariya didn't pay attention to it because at that time, almost all of his senses were taken away by the pain of the Crest Insects' invasion, which made Matou Kariya's senses very dull.

At the same time, Yakumo Yukari closed the door so quickly that Matou Kariya didn't even have time to turn around and look at the place where the light was shining before the bar door was closed.

Now it's different. Just now, under the old insect's command, all the insects that had inflicted pain on Matou Kariya were used to restore the bar's appearance, so Matou Kariya's pain came to an end, and thus Matou Kariya had the energy to look at the bar's suddenly appearing door.

"Holy crap, what's going on? So many bugs?" A young man's voice came from inside the bar door that had suddenly appeared and then suddenly opened.

"Wait a minute, the shape formed by these bugs looks so much like the bar's door!" Chen Luo, who had spent 200 raw stones to use the coordinates of the hundreds of imprinted bugs to push open the bar's door, was stunned.

Damn, could it be that even if I don't open the door, someone will still open it and come looking for me?

Wouldn't that mean I wasted my 200 Primogems?

“There really are a lot of disgusting bugs.” Yakumo Yukari, who was watching from the side of the bar, completely agreed with what Chen Luo had just said.

"...Just who are you all? Insulting the magic achievements of the host in front of them is a very disrespectful act." Matou Zouken looked at everyone present with a gloomy gaze.

"Old Bug... Old man, we hit it off immediately. Although I don't know your name yet, I'm sure we'll become great friends." Chen Luo smiled brightly at the imposing Old Bug.

Upon seeing Chen Luo's smile, Matou Zouken, who had lived for hundreds of years without ever being afraid of anything, suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"Friend, don't be too wary of me..." Chen Luo said as he walked out of the bar.

"!!!" But the moment Chen Luo stepped out of the bar, he suddenly felt a strange gaze and a great sense of crisis.

This sense of crisis stung Chen Luo so much that he immediately retreated back to the bar.

Chen Luo was all too familiar with that eerie gaze; it was the same feeling he got when the Honkai consciousness was staring at him all the time.

In other words...

"Damn it! It's the repulsion of the inhibitory force!"

Chapter 547 The Repulsion of the Resistant Force and the Grand Assassin

Standing in the bar, Chen Luo looked up at Matou Kariya lying next to him outside the bar, and then glanced at the old bug standing above him.

The two people in front of him were people with extremely strong desires, a fact that Chen Luo's intuition told him was absolutely correct.

However, with two huge experience points right in front of him, Chen Luo didn't know where to start, because he couldn't even leave the bar.

In the other worlds, Chen Luo had a very successful career. This was due to the convenience of his various abilities, his knowledge of the plot which allowed him to help people fulfill their wishes, and his ability to build good relationships with people. Most importantly, he was not rejected in those worlds.
