"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
A painful scream burst out of "Keren"'s mouth - of course, this was the scream from 704.
She waved her hand and summoned a mirror in front of herself. In the mirror, she was horrified to see a flower penetrate the mask and bloom in the position of her left eye.
In her understanding, the mask cannot be destroyed. Even if her body is reduced to ashes, the mask should remain unscathed. But now, this perception has been shattered by the scene before him.
"How...how is it possible?! My mask!! How is it possible?!"
Her right hand suddenly burst out with power, breaking away from the prosthetic hand holding it, and with the palm burning with blazing black flames, she pressed hard on the flower on the mask——
The palm stopped just one centimeter away from the flower, and then, no matter how hard Qi04 tried, he could not move an inch.
Then, she saw the black flame on her hand extinguished for no reason. More than ten flowers sprouted from various parts of the arm, beautiful and strange.
"Ah...ah..." Qi04 opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something to suppress the fear in his heart, but nothing came out.
Curran spoke on her behalf:
"I've long been disgusted by your mask. I even doubted whether the person behind the mask was your first body. Do you think I didn't make any preparations before breaking the contract? No way. Right? You, the 'elites' from the 'Seven Venture Capital Divisions', are you at this level??"
"live--"
Before Qi04 could finish saying "Shut up", she stopped herself first. She saw her flower-covered right hand holding the mask and separating it from her face bit by bit.
"No..." she murmured in fear, "No...stop...please, Kelun...please, Chairman Kelun, stop! I was wrong! I will do anything you ask me to do." Okay, stop quickly..."
"It's no use begging me." The last sentence of "Ke Lun" was still crying, but this sentence has turned into a sneer: "It's not me who wants to take you down, it's those flowers. She seems to be interested in you." I’m quite interested in this mask.”
The mask had almost completely left Curran's face.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!! Save me----"
The desperate shouts of 704 suddenly stopped, and the mask was completely taken off by Susha.
The flowers on her arms poked their heads out one after another, surrounding the mask in their hands, just like a group of hungry wolves surrounding a poor sheep. After a brief stay, they swarmed up and quickly devoured the mask. Clean and tidy.
After eating, the flower retracted into the girl's body. Curran opened his eyes, and there was nothing unusual about it.
The girl with gray hair and black skirt walked towards the three of them.
"Are you Susha or Ke Lun?" Xia Ye stared at her and asked.
"Susa." the girl said, "how did you tell?"
"Secret." Xia Ye said.
No matter what expression Coren has, he always looks preoccupied, while Susha is often purely expressionless. Even with the same body, Xia Ye can easily distinguish the two through their expressions.
"Hmph~ What did you call me for just now?"
Xia Ye pointed to Chris lying on the ground: "Can you save her?"
Susha glanced at the big hole in Chris' abdomen: "If she is willing to eat the flowers, she can."
As she spoke, she opened her palms, and a crimson flower emerged from her white palms.
Xia Ye probably knew what this meant, but she had no intention of interfering. She just asked Chris: "Are you willing?"
"Keren...did you eat it too..." Chris asked weakly.
Susha nodded.
"Then I'll eat."
Susha manipulated the prosthetic hand, gently picked the flower from her palm, and put it into Chris's mouth. Chris closed her mouth and swallowed the flower in her mouth.
The next second, crimson flowers sprouted from the spine of the prosthetic body. They quickly filled the cavity in the abdominal cavity. The skin on the abdomen began to heal quickly. In the blink of an eye, Chris's body had already... Completely restored to the way it was before the injury.
"………………"
Chris opened her mouth wide, as if she wanted to scream in pain, but no sound came out. As the wound healed, the pain on her face gradually faded away, her eyes slowly closed, and she soon fell asleep completely.
"She won't die, but her body no longer completely belongs to her." Susha looked at Xia Ye, "I ate too much at once. I need some time to digest it. Don't call me if there is nothing important. "
"What is considered an 'important thing'?" Xia Ye asked.
"You just don't want to disturb me until you die." After Su Sha finished speaking, she closed her eyes regardless of whether Xia Ye objected or not.
When the girl opened her eyes again, she had turned into Curran.
"I'm Ke Lun!" Ke Lun said quickly as soon as his consciousness came back.
"I know that 704 has been eaten by Susha." Xia Ye said to her.
Curran nodded with relief: "That's good. How is Chris?"
"She ate Sousa's flowers."
"...Is this so?"
Curran's tone was a little complicated, but he didn't say anything else. She raised her hand, moved her gaze to her right arm, and looked at it carefully.
A lot of the witch characters on the arm have disappeared, revealing the original white and tender skin, but there are still some remaining in the original position.
The more Curran looked, the more serious the expression on his face became:
"There are some contracts that are still valid. Their contract maker should have been 704, but now it has become someone else. I can't see that person's name."
Xia Ye immediately remembered the question she had asked Susha before. Susha's answer was "not necessarily". Combined with Susha's body's tampering with the "rift" contract when she was in the Ether Sea, she had some new understanding of the witch contract:
"The so-called 'contract' is not an equal restraint on both parties. It is a restraint by the stronger party on the weaker party. The weak party can only act within the rules of the contract, while the strong party can do so at any time if necessary. Change or even break the contract.”
Curran thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but what if the strengths of both parties are similar?"
"The contract becomes a relatively orderly arena, in which both parties try to fight for their own interests." Xia Ye said.
Curran took another look at the contract left in his hand: "In other words, the remaining contract points to a guy who is much more powerful than 704?"
"Probably."
"Now 704 is dead." Curran continued his analysis, "Then the other party may have discovered the anomaly. I remember that 704 shouted 'Save me' before he died, maybe he was calling the person on the contract. Man, since we are still locked up here, it means that this matter is probably not over yet..."
Before Curran finished speaking, the "space behind the mirror" shook like an earthquake. The white wall that had been unscathed by a lightning gun before had cracks running across the front and back. Immediately afterwards, the wall began to collapse, and the collapsing fragments were like an illusion, dissipating in mid-air.
Soon, everyone found themselves in the conference room where the previous meeting had been held. The tables and chairs in the conference room were neatly arranged, and the fighting in the "space behind the mirror" did not have any impact on this place.
Xia Ye looked around and smiled at Ke Lun: "You seem to have guessed wrong, we are out. However, it is always good to show mercy to the enemy. I can only say that the opponent's level is too poor."
Curran pointed to the top of his head expressionlessly.
Xia Ye raised her head in confusion, and the smile on her face suddenly froze.
The conference room has no ceiling, but it is not open-air. A crystal-like curved vault covers the top of the room.
The next second, an eye larger than a human came closer and looked at the four people in the conference room through the crystal vault.
