Xia Ye suddenly realized that perhaps his current situation was more complicated than imagined.
The "Three Laws of Magic" are called laws, of course, because they apply to all situations, including those after the contract has been executed.
If a normal "resurrection" contract can turn the witch's magic power into a negative number, then there is no reason why the "Three Rules" should not include this situation.
Therefore, either the "resurrection of the soul" in me is abnormal.
Either he is abnormal.
Either both are abnormal.
Putting aside the fact that I am not normal, let’s first see if there is anything wrong with the content of this contract.
While Xia Ye was thinking, she pressed her fingers on the mark on her thigh and chanted softly:
"Ch-ZVH-"
Intermittent syllables sounded, each syllable having only consonants, because the vowels were swallowed up by the contract the moment they were spoken.
This is the so-called "Witch's Script". It must be used whether writing, signing, viewing, or exercising a contract. The Witch's Script is also a memory stored in the cup. Xia Ye found that she can use it normally without learning.
The contents of the contract appeared in her mind one by one like words floating on the screen:
Contract name: Soul Resurrection
Rank: 7
Contract number: CHZVH7XY28401116
Contractor: Xia Ye
Contractor: ■■
Clause 1: The contract maker voluntarily signs a "returning soul" contract with the contractor...
Clause 2: The terms in this contract are defined as follows:
Article 2.1: Death: refers to the death universally recognized by the ethnic group to which the contract author belongs. Characteristics include but are not limited to: damage or loss of vital organs, complete cessation of body functions, annihilation of the soul or being permanently stripped away...
Article 2.2: Resurrection: refers to the resurrection universally recognized by the ethnic group to which the contract holder belongs. After resurrection, the body, soul, and memory of the contract holder shall be exactly the same as on the date when the contract was signed.
…
Article 7: After signing this contract, the contracting party enjoys the following rights: resurrection within 90 performance days after death, where "death" is defined in Article 2.1 and "resurrection" is defined in Article 2.2.
…
Clause 10: The contract maker agrees to pay the magic power required for the contract in accordance with the following terms:
Clause 10.1: Contract Signing Date: 6399 Mor
Article 10.2: Contract Effective Date: 1 Mor
Up to this point, the contents of the contract were normal, and the terms contained strict logic. They looked like business contracts that were often seen in Xia Ye's original world.
However, there were three things that caught her attention.
The first is the name of the person who made the contract, written in two characters in witch script. If you add the corresponding vowels to them and pronounce them, it will just be "Summer Night".
Therefore, the question is: clearly the person who made the contract is the original host, why is Xia Ye's own name written on it?
The simplest explanation can be very simple: the original host and Xia Ye happen to have the same name.
More complex explanations include but are not limited to: closed time loop, reincarnation, rebirth...
As a well-read man of culture, Xia Ye could name ten different settings in one go. However, these are unverifiable and therefore have no significance for the status quo.
"Just pretend that the original host has the same name as myself." Xia Ye decided to keep it simple.
The second point worth noting is the name of the contractor.
According to Xia Ye's understanding, the so-called contractor, that is, the party who accepts the contract, the witch can sign a contract with herself, and this "resurrection of the soul" falls into this kind of situation, so the name of the contractor should also be "Xia Ye" "That's right.
However, what was actually written on the contract were two solid black squares, as if they were blocking something.
I don’t know if this is the case only for this contract, or is this the case for every contract signed by myself?
Xia Ye decided to pay attention to it in the future.
The third point is that Article 10.2 stipulates that 1 mol must be paid on the effective date of the contract.
The effective date, according to the definition of the word in the contract, refers to the day when the contract maker is resurrected, which is today.
The "mole" in the contract is the basic unit for measuring magic power. At this moment, your own magic power should be——
Xia Ye looked at her right wrist, which clearly displayed: -1.
According to common sense, the magic power of a dead person should be 0. So, since Clause 10.2 was triggered today, did my magic power just decrease to -1?
Did the person who created the contract deliberately design it like this? What's the point?
While Xia Ye was thinking about this problem, a few new lines of text slowly emerged in her mind:
【Additional Terms】
Supplementary Clause 3: The following clauses are supplementary clauses of the contract "Return to Soul" (contract number: CHZVH7XY38401116).
Supplementary Clause 2: For the supplementary clause to take effect, both conditions must be met: 1) The contract maker is in a resurrected state, 2) The magic power stock of the contract maker is less than 0
Supplementary Clause 1: The supplementary clauses are only visible after they take effect. If the contract owner reads this clause, it means that the supplementary clauses have taken effect.
Supplementary Clause 0: After the supplementary clause comes into effect, the contract owner has the following rights: he can overdraw his own magic power. For the relevant rules about overdraft, please refer to Supplementary Clause-3 to Supplementary Clause ■■.
Supplementary Clause-1: After the supplementary clauses take effect, the contracting party shall bear the following obligations: within 360 performance days after the supplementary clauses take effect, pay [the head of the contracting party] to the contract "Huihun" (contract number: CHZVH7XY38401116), [ The definition of "First Class" is provided in Clause 2.17, and the specific payment steps are provided in Supplementary Clause-11.
Supplementary Clause-2: If the obligations stipulated in Clause-1 cannot be fulfilled, the contracting party will be deemed to have breached the contract, and all clauses in this supplementary clause and the associated contract "Huihun" (Contract No.: CHZVH7XY38401116) will automatically become invalid. (Current status: unfinished)
Supplementary Terms-3: ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
…
Xia Ye stood there for a long time.
First of all, there is good news: she seems to have gained a new ability: she can overdraw her own magic power. Although the specific rules of overdraft were covered by a black square at this time, she could roughly guess the effect - just like now, her magic power could be deducted to a negative number.
This ability directly breaks through the "Third Law". Putting aside the actual effect, at least it sounds very powerful. If it is rounded off, it is just a cheat.
Next is the bad news: because she was forcibly sold the above plug-in, she must pay for her head within a year, otherwise it will be considered a breach of contract, and the consequence of the breach of contract is that all the terms in the "Return to Soul" contract will be invalid. To put it simply, you will die.
But wouldn’t you die if you gave away your own head?
Uh, this... is really not necessarily true. For example, right now, I am living very healthily.
But finally, there’s some big bad news:
Even if she wanted to give it, she didn't have a head, and she didn't know where her head had gone...
In other words, she must find her head within a year, otherwise she will still die.
Xia Ye suddenly felt that she was too hard-core as a witch.
Although she was a little shocked, she quickly adjusted her mentality and summarized the three small goals she had set not long ago:
1. Don’t go out (√)
2. Find out the reason for living (√)
3. Find out the reason why you lost your head (X)
Now, my goals should be updated to: 1) Find a way to get out without scaring others, and 2) Find my own head.
Let’s start with the first goal. Xia Ye looked around the room and thought.
Since crossing over, she has been busy torturing her body, and she hasn't had time to search this room yet. Now is a good time to look around and see if there is anything that can be used to help you achieve your first goal.
Maybe my head is in this room?
…
"Sure enough, there is no such good thing..."
After about twenty minutes, Xia Ye reluctantly came to a conclusion.
There weren't many things in the room, so she quickly checked them all. Apart from finding another witch contract, there was nothing else worth paying attention to.
But for some reason, she always felt like she was missing something, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't find a clue...
Then don’t think about it for now.
Think about the things you know first.
For example, the newly found contract in your hand has not been signed by the witch. The black mark is sealed in a hexagonal crystal. If you look carefully, you will find that it will twist slightly from time to time, like a Living thing.
This is a witch's contract with the name "rift", and the column name is "Asmode", which means that the highest rank can reach 8, but the rank in Xia Ye's hands is only 3.
But even if there are only 3, signing it still requires a full 2,400 moles of magic power.
Xia Ye can overdraw her magic power, but she also knows that the so-called overdraft must have a limit, and there must also be a repayment period. If she wants to sign this contract, she must consider these two issues:
Do you have enough credit to go overdraft? Is there any way to repay the overdraft?
Xia Ye was not sure about these two questions. However, she still couldn't help but want to give it a try, because she had already read the contents of the "rift" contract, and it was a magic whose effect was beyond her expectation.
Since she was going out, of course it was best to have a means of self-defense. After all, she still had no idea what the outside world was like...
"Dong dong dong——"
Just when Xia Ye was hesitating, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.
