But Xiuji didn't bite the head off, he just wrapped it firmly in his mouth. After a while, a dull scream came from Grady's mouth, and his body kept struggling like a fish that landed on the beach. But within a few seconds, with a "goo" sound, the screams stopped, leaving only the body still twitching slightly.
After about two minutes, Xiuji finally opened his mouth and spit out Grady's head, just like a little girl taking out a sweet lollipop from her mouth that she had just finished sucking.
The black semi-fluid gel shrank inward and turned back into a cat head with emerald green eyes. Xiuji burped and walked back to Xia Ye with elegant cat steps.
"She had 150 moles. I ate 100 moles and had 50 left." Xiu Ji said.
"Yeah." Xia Ye nodded.
If Grady is not lying, then the contract she wants to sign requires 200 moles.
As for the two contracts on his body, the level 3 "rift" requires 2,400 moles to sign, and the level 7 "resurrection" requires a full 6,400 moles.
Compared with the two, Grady's contract is too "cheap".
But Xia Ye didn't think she was lying. After these two days of observation, she had realized that 1 mol was not a small unit. On the contrary, 1 mol was very "valuable".
For example, a broom that most people in the lower city cannot afford to rent can be rented for four hours for 1 mol; in a relatively high-priced middle-class area, the monthly rent is only 40 mol; and now it is lying on the ground. Grady can rob someone just for 50 moles.
Therefore, I'm afraid it's not that the contract Grady wants to sign is too cheap, but that the two contracts he owns are "too expensive."
In an instant, several clues that I noticed in the past two days were connected in my mind, but now is not the time to think about these, I should finish dealing with the matter in front of me before talking about it.
Xia Ye's eyes returned to Grady.
The brown-haired witch's head was covered with mucus. She closed her eyes tightly but opened her mouth wide. Seeing this look, Xia Ye could roughly guess what she was going through in Xiuji's mouth.
After about ten seconds, Grady slowly opened her eyes, and then started coughing violently. She supported her upper body with her remaining left arm, breathing in fresh air greedily while coughing, and her cough gradually became It turned into vomiting, and she vomited several balls of light green viscous liquid on the ground.
Finally, she gradually calmed down.
"Then, what kind of strange thing is that..." she said tremblingly, but before she finished speaking, she immediately interrupted herself: "No, no...it's nothing, I shouldn't ask more."
"It seems you have become a little smarter than before." Xia Ye praised.
Grady forced a smile in response.
"So, kind lady, can I, can I go?" she asked anxiously.
"Walk? You can still walk like this?" Xia Ye looked surprised.
"Uh..." The other person's face twitched a few times, and finally said: "I can crawl away with my hands without causing any trouble to you, and I won't reveal anything that happened here..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Xia Ye interrupted her decisively: "That's not okay."
"..."
Looking at Grady who was at a loss, Xia Ye explained patiently: "Look at what you are like now. Once you leave here, I'm afraid someone will soon be watching you and take away your remaining 50 magic powers. ? Or you may be found by the debt collection team. In that case, you will also die, and even the cup and contract will be removed and sold to pay off the debt."
"So...what do you mean?" Grady asked expectantly.
"I happen to have an unused house. You might as well live in it. This way I can protect you from being killed by the debt collection team or others without the ability to resist." Xia Ye said with a smile. .
Hearing Xia Ye's answer, Grady seemed to see an angel for a moment. Tears flowed from her eyes again, but this time it was not because of pain, but because of gratitude.
"Ah! That's really... I really don't know how to thank you... When my injury is healed, no matter what you ask me to do, I will never give up!" Grady made a promise sincerely.
"Thank you for your kindness." Xia Ye said with a smile, "But it's a pity that you won't be able to help me in the future."
"Eh...why? Because I lost one of my hands?"
"Because you are almost out of magic power, right? There are only 50 moles left. You consume 1 mole a day. After 50 days, the magic power in your body will be completely exhausted and you will die." Xia Ye said sadly.
"What?! But... you just said you would protect me..." Grady still couldn't understand what Xia Ye meant.
"Yes, I will protect you." Xia Ye nodded matter-of-factly, "Otherwise, you don't have to wait until the 50th day, you might die today!"
The brown-haired witch was stunned for a while. Gradually, her not-so-smart mind finally understood Xia Ye's thoughts.
"You mean...you're going to lock me in a room and watch me use up my magic power day by day until I finally die?" she asked in a hoarse voice.
"Hmm~ You finally understand." Xia Ye nodded repeatedly: "Otherwise, I would have thought there was something wrong with my expression."
"You... why are you doing this? You don't provide me with magic power, nor do you kill me right away, but you go to such great lengths to... watch me die?"
"I said, I don't like killing people. As for providing you with magic power, why should I do that? Anyway, you are like this now, even if you go outside, you can't find any magic power income; and staying in my house, at least It’s pretty good to be able to prevent you from being killed for a while.”
The smile on Xia Ye's delicate face disappeared at some point. The girl stared at the witch on the ground with her crimson eyes and said expressionlessly:
"You ask me why I go to such trouble? Of course I find it interesting. It's interesting to see a person consuming magic power day by day, but not being able to replenish it, and in the end he can only die in despair. What did you do just now? If you offended me, it’s not too much to ask you to make up for it with something interesting, right?”
"You, you, you... you might as well just kill me!"
Grady couldn't help but have this scene in her mind: she was imprisoned in a small room, and she could only watch her magic power decrease every day. She knew that she would die on time on the 50th day, but she didn't. Anything to change this fate.
What's even more unacceptable is that there is another person outside who is admiring his own despair with great interest, just like admiring a bug slowly starving to death in a sealed glass bottle.
This feeling...just thinking about it made her tremble.
"You are a fucking monster! You monster in human skin! You..."
She yelled at Xia Ye, not out of anger, but out of fear. She even hoped that the other party would be angered by her and bite her head off now, just like biting off her arm not long ago. That kind of ending - at least Better than waiting to die slowly.
But Xia Ye wasn't angry at all. She just looked at the other party expressionlessly, admiring her despair.
