Crimson flames rose from Xie Zhi's back, and the flames engulfed Xie Zhi's body in an instant, and summoned half a mask on his face to cover his eyes.
Red gloves appeared on Xie Zhi's hands. Xie Zhi stretched out his hands. Through the gap between his palms, Xie Zhi saw Wang Dazhuo who gradually realized what had happened.
Then, the gap between Xie Zhi's palms became smaller and smaller, and they closed together.
"You actually rescued that woman from a copy of the memory that was almost completely inactivated!"
The smile and calmness on Wang Dazhuo's face disappeared without a trace the moment the Crimson Oath appeared. The pitch-black keyboard was once again summoned in front of him, and he stretched out his avatar's left and right hands to completely reset the two huge keyboards. It was combined into a keyboard like a door panel, blocking himself and Qi Xi behind the keyboard like a shield!
"But your remaining transformation time will definitely not exceed ten seconds!"
"I want to see how you can break my defense in less than ten seconds!"
Xie Zhi smiled. He was also worried that because he was too tired and the Crimson Oath was activated too slowly, he would not be able to complete the red fire mode transformation and sign the oath before Wang DaZhuo could react. He never thought that Wang DaZhuo would see the unknown incarnation beyond this information. From now on, the first thing that comes to mind is defense, not offense.
This made Xie Zhi feel a little surprised. At the same time, he quickly used the mental skills of the Crimson Oath to complete the signing of the oath to Wang Dazhuo.
"When both parties to the agreement express their agreement through words, the owner of the Crimson Oath can use the mental properties and spiritual energy to transform the agreement between the two into a Crimson Covenant..."
"The Crimson Pact is not a continuous mental skill, but a brand of oath that is similar to a seal in the minds of both parties. Once the Crimson Pact takes effect, it can last forever without the need for spiritual energy supply. , until one of the parties takes the initiative to break the oath..."
"When the oath is broken, the mark of the oath left in the spirit of the violator will be transformed into a curse, and the debt collector will be summoned near the violator with the help of the violator's own spiritual energy..."
"The essence of a debt collector is a spiritual curse..."
Zhang Hongmian's description of the characteristics of the Crimson Oath came to Xie Zhi's mind. It was the last conversation they had in the Thinking Pavilion before leaving the spiritual illusion.
"If you encounter an enemy you really can't defeat, you might as well induce them to make a promise not to harm you."
"For the owner of the Crimson Oath, promises, even promises full of deception, are pure and flawless under the penalty of the curse of breach of contract."
…
Xie Zhi's eyes retracted from the memory of not long ago, and once again returned to the door of Room 2404 in front of him.
Three seconds had passed, and the crimson flames quickly faded, turning into translucent pink flames that appeared sparsely on Xie Zhi's body, and within a second, even the flames dissipated.
Xie Zhi felt an unusual emptiness in his body. This emptiness was not only the emptiness caused by the unbearable hunger in his belly and his inability to maintain his transformation, but also the uncontainable emptiness in his spiritual strength.
His head was groggy, as if a piece of his spiritual consciousness had been poached away, and the piece of spiritual consciousness that had been poached was made into an oath brand and sent into Wang Dabai's brain.
If before the transformation time ended, Xie Zhi only felt extremely hungry in his belly, his limbs were weak and his belly was empty, and he just wanted to find a place to eat a cow completely, then now after the transformation time ends, Xie Zhi not only feels hungry, I am extremely hungry, and at the same time accompanied by an uncontrollable sense of sleepiness.
Want sleep……
My head feels so dizzy, it feels like I haven't slept for three days and three nights...
No, can't sleep...
At least I can't sleep now...
Xie Zhi shook his head hard, trying to get rid of the sleepiness in his mind, but this sleepiness originated from Xie Zhi's spiritual origin, so how could it be dispelled by shaking his head?
Xie Zhi just felt that the more he shook his head, the lower his head dropped. He wished he could fall from a height of 1.75 meters to the ground in a second or two. He immediately lay down and fell asleep without any distracting thoughts.
And the hunger and weakness of his limbs after his transformation time made Xie Zhi feel extremely tired, and the amplitude of his head shaking became slower and slower as the fatigue spread.
No, I can’t sleep now…
The crisis has not been resolved yet...
At least not yet...
"Boom".
The world in Xie Zhi's eyes suddenly turned ninety degrees.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was not that the world had turned ninety degrees, but that I had gone from a tired posture of half-crouching to lying on the ground with my face turned sideways.
No, I have to get up...
Xie Zhi put his hands on the welcome carpet in the corridor and tried to push himself up again, but he didn't know whether it was because of the strength of his limbs or because he was extremely sleepy. He felt that the ground was extremely smooth. When it hit the ground, it slid to both sides because of the loss of friction.
Could it be that...Wang Dashu's mental ability is to make the ground slippery...
Or is it because I'm too sleepy...
My hands and feet can't use any strength...
I can only swim in the ground like a fish...
Xie Zhi's thinking gradually slowed down, and the world in his eyes became narrower and narrower along with this process.
In the end, the world that Xie Zhi could see was completely closed.
At the last second before his eyes closed, Xie Zhi saw Wang Daduo staggering towards him with a double image.
…
Xie Zhi fainted, like a boneless fish or a noodle without support. The moment the red flame disappeared from his body, he collapsed on the ground in an instant.
Behind the empty door frame of Room 2404, Wang Dazhuo staggered out of the room. He covered his forehead and staggered to Xie Zhi.
"I didn't expect you to comprehend the power of the devil from the illusion in your mind..."
"The crimson oath that disappeared for three years, the mark of an agreement that cannot be broken..."
"Is this what you need to defeat Sima Xi..."
Wang Daduo punched his temples twice to wake himself up from the trance of being imprinted with a spiritual brand, and then shook his head vigorously to drive the dizzy feeling out of his mind.
"The ability to fight head-on is better than nothing, but relying on extremely special mental skills, he has used auxiliary emotional incarnations to fight his way up the rankings of negative purifiers, and has become a crimson demon that scares countless members of desperate organizations... "
"It turns out that this is what keeps you calm in times of crisis."
Wang DaZhuo looked at Xie Zhi's sleeping face. There was deep sleepiness and haggardness on that young face.
Qi Xi's figure appeared next to Wang Dashu.
"The shrike is dead and Xie Zhi has caught him. What will happen next?"
Wang Da waved his hand and told Qi Xi to bring the mobile hard drive.
Then he reached out and grabbed Xie Zhi's arm, lifted Xie Zhi onto his shoulders, stepped over the fallen door panel, and carried him into Room 2404.
Xie Zhi was carried to the emotional channeler by Wang Dazhuo.
After that, Wang Dazhuo picked up the streamlined virtual helmet next to the groomer.
"Let me think about what is the promise between you and me..."
Wang DaZhuo closed his eyes, and the contents of Xie Zhi's previous oath appeared in his mind.
"I will give you the seventh book that records the path to becoming a god..."
"Proactively help human balance explore more illusions..."
These are the conditions proposed by Xie Zhi for Party A.
"The Human Balance Organization must ensure my personal safety..."
"Guarantee the sincerity of all messages during the cooperation process..."
These are the rules that need to be followed when it comes to human scales.
Wang Dazui sighed, opened his eyes, looked at the helmet, and then at Xie Zhi.
After thinking for a long time, he reached out and pulled out a small square box on the back of the helmet.
"Hey, don't you plan to destroy the original after you get the copy of the memory?"
Qi Xi rarely showed surprise.
Wang Daduo shook his head and said,
"The Crimson Oath's mental skills are very weird, so you can't take risks."
"Although Dujuan has been a member of Tianping for a long time, you have not been exposed to the core layer after all, so many of the sealed inside stories are still too far away for you."
Wang Dazhuo brought the virtual helmet with the charging and discharging components off to Xie Zhi's head and fixed it on Xie Zhi's head.
"How should I describe this incarnation of the Crimson Oath to you..."
"Its attack capability is not strong. If I were asked to fight the Crimson Oath on a frontal battlefield, I would be 90% sure that the battle would be resolved within two minutes."
"However, the key reason why Crimson Oath is called a demon by us lies in the part other than those two minutes."
"We don't know what the Crimson Oath's mental skills are called, but within Human Scale, we call the Crimson Oath's mental skills 'Devil's Contract'."
"Generally, mental skills can only take effect during the duration of the emotional incarnation. Even if they want to take effect outside the summoning time of the emotional avatar, superhumans must always inject spiritual energy into the mental skills, but the devil's contract does not require it. It only requires a start-up energy, and then it can run forever until the signer of the contract violates the agreement."
"Once you violate the agreement, no matter where you are, no matter whether the owner of the Crimson Oath is dead or alive, the curse brought by the oath will summon a strength level around you that is equal to the strength of the Crimson Oath when you signed the contract. Debt collectors of the same rank.”
"This debt collector will draw spiritual energy from your body, continue to strengthen itself, and use all its abilities to kill you as punishment for your breach of contract."
"It doesn't sound like much."
Qi Xi's voice appeared on the other side of the seat. She reached out and fixed Xie Zhi's right hand to the armrest of the seat, tied it with a strap, and then she went to fix the other one.
"Didn't you say before that you were 90% sure that you could get rid of the Crimson Oath within two minutes? Since the debt collector can only be as strong as when the oath was signed, for you, destroying it is not just a matter of effort?"
Wang Daduo shook his head and sighed,
"That's the key to why it's called a demon."
"There is an endless stream of debt collectors summoned under the influence of the Crimson Oath."
"It will appear for the first time the moment you break your oath, but after you kill the first debt collector, the nightmare has just begun."
"Starting from the second debt collector, debt collectors appear regardless of occasion or time. When and how they appear is just like the number of points you may get by throwing a dice. It depends on chance."
"Maybe it will appear when you are eating, and you can put down your job to kill him, but what if it appears when you are taking a poop? Say the words "Broken Appointment" to you while you are sitting on the toilet. He should shed all his blood'?"
"Take it a step further, what if it comes on while you're sleeping?"
"You always have to sleep, you always have time to slack off."
"Even if you really can never slack off and stay vigilant even when sleeping, you will always get old, and there will always be a day when you show your decline."
"But debt collectors don't. Debt collectors are always young."
"This is why Zhang Hongmian was called the Crimson Devil back then."
"In the Tianping organization, there are many people who can defeat Zhang Hongmian, but when facing Zhang Hongmian, everyone wants to sew their mouths shut."
"I still remember that there was an article in the organization's handbook for newcomers. When facing Zhang Hongmian, you must not speak or say a word. I didn't know the reason in the past, but today I finally understand."
"Because speaking is the way to trigger the power of her mind. As long as you accidentally make a promise to her, this promise will become a shackle that restricts your life."
"The day Zhang Hongmian died, it was the team led by the Death Bird himself. The super-S-level pollution field and the sacrifices of more than 20 members finally buried her in that hot spring nursing home."
"I didn't expect that Xie Zhi could actually learn this demon's ability..."
