Their commission was suspicious.

To be precise, it is Euthinus wielding Gungnir.

Some people knew that Othinus wanted to create the Spear of the Gods, but they didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

This completely surprised many people.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Luo saw Euthinus lift Gungnir.

"Wait, what do you want to do?" Although the oppressive feeling emanating from Othinus, who was holding the Spear of the Gods, was constantly pressing on Chen Luo's nerves, and even made Chen Luo feel threatened with death just by standing in front of the other party.

However, Chen Luo was indeed safe inside the bar, so he still stopped the other party.

“It was just a test. Sure enough, the contract in your Book of Contracts is extremely powerful.” Othinus, who had raised the Spear of the Gods, touched the hilt of the Spear of the Gods to the ground again.

Without fulfilling the preconditions of the contract, a binding force powerful enough to restrain even a demon god prevented Othinus from throwing the spear of the supreme god in his hand, nor from using his power to destroy the world.

"Then, the game of hide-and-seek is about to begin. The application has been submitted, and as agreed, you have one minute to prepare. After one minute, you need to find me. If you lose, the world will be destroyed." Under the extremely strong constraint, Othinus said to Chen Luo.

"Since that's the case, aren't you going to hide?" Chen Luo asked, leaning against the doorway.

"unnecessary."

"Hey, if you didn't want to destroy the world, you should have said so earlier. Why are you being so accommodating to me?"

"Heh. Just a friendly reminder, the condition for ending this game of hide-and-seek is that you catch me, not that you see me," Othinus said coolly.

"!!!"

"Moreover, even in hide-and-seek, if you don't catch me, it's a neutral situation, which means I haven't lost this game of hide-and-seek."

“The contract stipulates that if I lose, I will fight for you, and I cannot destroy the world. However, if I haven’t lost, that is, if you haven’t captured me yet, I can destroy the world.” Othinus patiently explained the loopholes in the other party’s contract to Chen Luo.

Because Euthinus was happy to see Chen Luo's time being wasted.

"!!! This is allowed?!"

Chen Luo admitted that the first surprise was feigned, but the second surprise was genuine.

Seriously? This is allowed?

“I am the god of war, magic, art, and betrayal, so betraying a contract is naturally a piece of cake for me. However, your contract is very coercive, so I can only betray you by exploiting a loophole,” Othinus said, shaking his head.

The world of A Certain Magical Index also revolves around concepts.

This is especially true for the ascension ritual of demon gods.

Moreover, Euthinus has lived for who knows how many years, so it's not unreasonable for him to specialize in betrayal.

"Friendly reminder: there are 30 seconds left," Othinus said to Chen Luo.

Euthinus was quite curious about what actions Chen Luohui would take.

"I was just one move off. But it's not a big deal. Chess is what I'm best at." Chen Luo said as he turned and walked towards the third floor of the bar.

Euthynus was very puzzled by Chen Luo's actions.

At least during his conversations and actual transactions with Chen Luo, Othinus could tell that Chen Luo genuinely did not want him to destroy the world, even though destroying the world had nothing to do with him, and even though he could still live well after destroying the world.

Euthinus was somewhat puzzled by the other party's decisive abandonment.

However, Euthinus no longer wanted to concern himself with these matters.

Holding the spear of the supreme god, one can fully unleash the power of the demon god, and the achievement of the goal is within reach.

30 seconds.

20 seconds.

10 seconds.

……

5, 4, 3...

Just as Othinus raised the spear of the gods in his hand, about to unleash the final punishment upon the world, Othinus vanished in an instant.

In a flash, Euthinus felt a forced shift in space and time.

Blinking his only left eye in confusion, Othinus saw Chen Luo holding a torn piece of paper in front of him.

It's worth mentioning that Chen Luo first used the "love at first sight" technique to reduce the other party's discount to 7%, and then filled it with favorability fragments.

After completing the other party's five-star mission, I was rewarded with 40 points of favorability.

They directly increased the discount to 5%.

This was not only the fastest five-star commission Chen Luo had ever completed, but Othinus was also the fastest friend Chen Luo had ever gone from a complete stranger to a friend with a 5% discount.

Although a 5% discount doesn't mean the other party and Chen Luo are extremely close friends, it can fulfill many of Chen Luo's requirements for items.

For example... the summoning conditions of the Book of Friends.

Even after tearing off the other person's name to summon them, the torn-off name can be quickly restored due to the high discount.

"Yes, I've found you," Chen Luo said to Othinus with a smile.

"And we'll catch you very soon," Chen Luo said, glancing at his enclosed bedroom on the third floor.

The door is already closed; no one can open it without Chen Luo's permission.

"What's going on?" Euthinus had no idea why he had been suddenly transported.

"Oh, my dear friend, let's put the question aside for now, but how about catching a turtle in a jar?" Chen Luo clenched his fist.

Go ahead and scream, even if you scream until your throat is hoarse, no one will come to save you!

I've never lost a game of hide-and-seek in my life!

Chapter 656 Othinus Trapped in the Bar

"..." Othinus held the spear of the gods, which was much taller than himself, and looked at Chen Luo, who was standing in front of him, eager to try.

Euthinus still doesn't understand what happened.

How did they manage to summon me to this bar?

But Euthinus knew the problem was serious.

The contract between Euthinus and the other party stipulated that they could apply to play hide-and-seek again only with the mutual consent of both parties.

If you lose at hide-and-seek, you can't destroy the world, and you have to grant the other person a request.

If Chen Luo wins, and if Euthinus destroys the world, he will also need to restore it.

Othinus originally thought that the other party wanted to use multiple opportunities to try to save the world by succeeding in one of them, so that he could restore the world.

But now it seems the other party just wants to get something for nothing!

"So, my dear friend, do you want me to catch you willingly, or do you want me to catch you?" Chen Luo twisted his neck.

The attic on the third floor is not cramped, but it is an enclosed room.

Euthinus knew perfectly well that he could not possibly remain in this room all day to escape the enemy's pursuit.

No...maybe it's not impossible.

The room is not small. Although the bar will limit a person's strength to prevent them from causing any damage or harm to others, the bar has a collision volume, which means that the bar does not limit the opponent's true strength, speed, or power.

Although the space is relatively small, it might not be impossible for a demon god to evade the opponent's capture with his speed and strength.

After thinking it over, Euthinus swung the Spear of the Gods in his hand and swept it towards Chen Luo.

Chen Luo didn't even dodge the attack from the God of War's Spear; he simply blocked it with one hand.

While there may be collisions in a bar, these are limited to interactions between people.

The item cannot possibly harm anyone else, not even the Spear of the Gods.

"Since you've chosen to resist, then I won't hold back." Chen Luo grabbed the opponent's spear of the gods while touching Othinus with his other hand.

Upon seeing this, Euthinus immediately gave the entire Spear of the Gods to the other party.

The issue isn't about the Spear of God anymore; it's about preventing the opponent from getting it.

Chen Luo didn't care much about the Spear of the Main God, after all, it was Chen Luo who gave it to the other party.

Even if he got it back, he would still have to return it to the other party, so he simply threw the Spear of the Gods aside and pounced on Othinus in a manner similar to a tyrant grabbing his concubine.

Seeing Chen Luo rushing towards him, Eugenius lightly jumped over Chen Luo's head and landed on his bed.

"Hey, didn't anyone tell you not to wear shoes to bed? And stop struggling. Even if you can hide for a while in a bar, can you hide all day? Just give in to me."

“You are welcome to try,” Euthinus said dismissively.

"You don't actually think that just because I can't hurt you, I might get caught by you in the bar, do you?" Othinus scoffed.

“Indeed, you dodged very quickly. However… you might be new to the bar, so there are some things you don’t understand. That is, you can certainly use your skills in a bar as long as you don’t hurt anyone. But there are limits to the amount of impact; you can’t just throw someone away.” Chen Luo suddenly said.

"Especially with objects, you can never cause any damage to them, you can't even move them."

Chen Luo now realized that the other party was very fast.

"So, what are you trying to say?"

“Well, although my bedroom is indeed quite large, giving you room to move around, what if I fill this entire bedroom?” Chen Luo suddenly said.

"Huh?" Euthinus was taken aback.

Then Othinus saw Chen Luo take out chairs, sofas and other things from his backpack and start filling out his bedroom.

"Damn it!" Euthinus realized something in an instant.

If Chen Luo fills the entire bedroom to the point where it can only hold two people, no matter how well you try to hide, you won't be able to escape his grasp.

Since Chen Luo didn't remove the restrictions, no one could damage the bar's items, so Otinus was completely unable to clean them up.

In other words... this is a dead end.

"Do you really want to be my enemy?" Eugenius asked, squinting.

"I'm not your enemy, I just don't want you to destroy the world. After all, I don't want to be the culprit who destroys the world," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

"With the Spear of the Gods, I may not be able to harm you in the bar, but from now on, you will never be able to return to your world. After all, in your world, no one can protect you from my grasp," Eugenius threatened.

"Even if I can't go back to that world, I won't let you destroy it." Chen Luo didn't seem to care much about the other party's threat.

Although losing one world is equivalent to losing the income from one world's raw gems.

But it's better than being the culprit who destroys the world.

“As long as you release me and stop interfering with my rebuilding of my world, I can grant you any request,” Othinus said.

"A demon god's grand promise is indeed quite tempting." Chen Luo seemed somewhat tempted.

"That……"

"But I refuse. What I, Chen Luo, love to do most is say no to people who think they can't be refused!"

"You!" Euthinus was somewhat exasperated.

What does it matter to you if I destroy the world?

They have absolutely no connection.

"I wouldn't pluck a single hair to benefit the world, nor would I take a single hair to harm the world. Although your destruction of the world has nothing to do with me, and I can even continue to wander in other worlds, I would feel guilty if the world were destroyed because of me," Chen Luo said.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Are you there, Alo? Vilvie is looking for you." A knock sounded at the attic door.

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Eugenius had a sudden inspiration. He glanced at Chen Luo, who was some distance away from the door, and rushed to the door, punching it.

The only way out now is to break down the door.

If we can't break through the defense, then we're definitely going to lose.

The next moment, Euthinus clutched his fist and squatted on the ground.

"Hmm? It hurts a lot, doesn't it?" Chen Luo asked, leaning closer.

Chen Luo didn't take the opportunity to win the game, since it was impossible for him to lose anyway.

Besides, Chen Luo was actually quite keen to ease tensions with Euthinus.

Otherwise, the discount on Ottinus, which was just raised to 5%, might revert to 7%.
