The witch's words made Chen Jingren realize that the relationship between James and her was far from simple as it seemed.
Chen Jingren was not in a hurry to express his thoughts, but asked the witch tentatively: "Then it depends on what position James is for you."
The witch thought for a while and said with some embarrassment: "To be precise, he should be considered an ally to me."
"Huh? An ally?" Chen Jingren thought to himself, seeming to be a little dissatisfied with this answer.
The witch did not give an answer immediately, but thought for a while.
That shows that James' position in her heart is unclear.
But this is also difficult for Chen Jingren. After all, there is no clear boundary, so he doesn't know whether his choice has crossed the boundary.
If his answer does not satisfy the witch, the witch may do other things.
"Haha... allies. An alliance is an abstract concept. It can be big or small, bound by a covenant or acting without rules. So to what extent is my master James an ally to you? "
Faced with Chen Jingren's hot pursuit, the witch responded evasively and ambiguously.
"Is this important? Since we are allies, of course we must act in accordance with the standards of common interests to be considered true allies, but the enemies of our enemies are also allies, and we cannot force the standard to be measured according to the value of common interests. In short, I want to know you How far do you plan to go?"
Chen Jingren secretly deduced that James's enemy was humans. Although the witch also hated humans, she had stayed in the witch's hill for many years without going out. There is no such thing as enemy's enemy between them, so all that remains is the same values.
Chen Jingren thought for a while and said: "Although I didn't know that James summoned me before I made this decision. But now that I know, I still don't plan to take back this decision. Since James himself hopes that I will go beyond The better the fire is until it drags you into the water, then why don't I do it? And since you knew I would do it from the beginning, you didn't stop me. Doesn't this further prove that this is what you want? Is it effective?"
The witch quickly thought about Chen Jingren, she had to add something.
"Whoever said that I hope so should not speak nonsense without any basis."
Although the witch refused to admit it, Chen Jingren knew that she did not reject it in her heart.
"I see, then I'll have to exercise some restraint so that you won't be completely dragged into the water, but you may still get your shoes wet."
The witch was satisfied after hearing this result. As expected, the players standing on this chessboard were all cunning.
Chen Jingren then exchanged a few words with the witch, and after getting the answer he wanted, the witch wanted to leave.
But Chen Jingren stopped her. He still had something to do to get rid of the witch.
"Wait a minute, why are you in such a hurry to leave once you come out? And you're not worried that I will break my promise after leaving?"
When the witch saw Chen Jingren, a zombie, she promised to be nice, but in the end she threatened to change her mind?
"Then I hope you don't do this, because I will also make changes based on your choice."
Chen Jingren said, "This is the first time you and I have met. Talking empty-handedly and not involving actual interests will inevitably make people worried."
Only then did the witch understand what Chen Jingren meant.
"Oh? Then what do you want me to do for you to make you feel that this is a substantial and fair deal?"
Chen Jingren grinned and told the witch that General Sulan had plotted against him to take the corpse poison.
He hoped to borrow the witch's medicine to get rid of the corpse poison in his body.
After hearing this, the witch did not agree to Chen Jingren, she just expressed sympathy for Chen Jingren's experience.
"Since it is General Sulan's Gu insect, if I take action, it will be like going against him."
Chen Jingren begged again and again, and then the witch gave in.
"It's not impossible to let me help you get rid of the poisonous insects, but this is a difficult choice for you."
"Any difficult-to-decision issue, as long as it can help me get rid of the bug, I will definitely agree."
"It's because your zombies always like to stay in dark and humid places, and these Gu insects also like that kind of environment best and are afraid of sunlight and fire. If you want to completely eliminate them, you can only change your zombie physique. "
"What does it mean to change the physique of a zombie? Can I still change back to a human?"
The witch shook her head, as if this question was impossible.
"Now that you have become a zombie, it is impossible to return to being a human being. But I have developed a drug that can neutralize the constitution of your zombies so that they are no longer afraid of the sun and can walk around during the day. But..."
This witch always shows off her skills at critical moments. Chen Jingren was so excited when he heard that not only could he remove the worms, but he could also move around during the day.
"But what? No matter what kind of pain, I can bear it."
The witch nodded, seeming to admire and respect Chen Jingren's choice.
"Although after neutralizing your physique, allowing zombies to walk under the sun will naturally eliminate the worms in your body. However, you will also lose the strong vitality and recovery ability that you have as a zombie. Also That is to say, if you are hurt, it may be really fatal. Even at such a cost, do you intend to do so?"
These words were like a basin of cold water poured on Chen Jingren's head. In such a dangerous and unpredictable environment, it would be very dangerous to lose the ability of a zombie.
But whether it was James who summoned him here, or General Sulan who put the corpse poison on him, as long as he had their mark on his body, he would be a puppet controlled by them.
"If you are going to die anyway, it is better to take a gamble. If there is a fight, we can only rely on Yashamaru. Although the risk is high, it is much better than being someone else's puppet."
Chen Jingren made a very difficult decision. He had to gamble for freedom.
"I can accept the price, it's nothing to me."
Seeing Chen Jingren's painful look, the witch didn't say much.
He took out a bottle of blue potion from his body and gave it to Chen Jingren, and told him to be in a safe place when taking it, and there would be strong side effects after taking it, and he might need to rest for a long time before he could really see it.
Chen Jingren took the potion and felt a little stupid.
He was not worried about any side effects, but he thought the witch would go back to get such a precious potion.
But I never thought that she had prepared it in advance and carried it with her.
"This cunning witch planned it from the beginning. She deliberately delayed it until I asked her to ask. I accepted her kindness, so naturally I couldn't help but do things for her with all my heart."
Since you owe her a favor, just be shameless.
Chen Jingren once again expressed his hope that she could summon the devil herself. Chen Jingren lacked such chess pieces.
The witches also lacked such combat power, and originally thought that such a request would be easily agreed to.
But the witch refused, because there was a price to pay for summoning the devil.
Moreover, demons are extremely ambitious and difficult to control.
Since the witch always has a legitimate reason, Chen Jingren simply rides a donkey downhill.
"In that case, can I ask the witch to help me improve Yashamaru's strength? I hope that the role of the devil can be played by Yashamaru, and I will feel relieved only if it does it."
The witch was stunned after hearing this, with an expression on her face as if she had encountered a profiteer.
Since it was a necessary condition of the script, the witch had to pay for another bottle of potion.
She came here hoping to get a bargain from Chen Jingren, but unexpectedly she got two bottles of potions.
Chen Jingren quickly thanked her and the witch didn't stay long.
After sending the witch away, Chen Jingren's expression instantly darkened.
He couldn't figure out what was going on between him and James, but he heard from the witch that there is a price to pay for summoning demons, and demons can also resist their masters.
Then he and James have not signed any master-servant contract, so he should still be free at this moment.
But it happened that I was greatly affected by his consciousness. Those things that could have been avoided were all caused by the constant stack of lies, and as the lies increased, the deception attribute became higher and higher.
Does that mean that his outrageous actions were all based on James' wishes?
James wants to take back everything from humans. Does the witch take him in as a pawn or does she want to get a piece of the pie?
The person involved is unwilling to say it, so he can only think about it here.
Chen Jingren put away the blue potion. He did not intend to take it immediately but waited for the time to come.
In the evening, he would go to negotiate an alliance with humans on behalf of the Sulan family, and he didn't want General Sulan to find out that he had removed the corpse poison from his body before that.
Chen Jingren opened the bottle of potion that the witch gave him that could make Yashawan stronger, and fed it to him personally.
Yashamaru also cooperated and opened his mouth, but soon after taking it, he suddenly felt severe pain all over his body, and even his bones were creaking.
Yashamaru's face began to become distorted, and his sharp nails kept scratching on the ground.
The pain caused him to roll on the ground continuously, howling miserably from his mouth.
"It's okay, Yashamaru, you can do it. This is called rebirth. As long as you endure it, you will become stronger. I have experienced this kind of thing before..."
Thinking of his own experience, Chen Jingren suddenly showed an extremely frightened expression on his face. He was really careless again.
"Oops! Since General Su Lan can put corpse poison in the pill, why can't the witch add something to the potion?"
Chen Jingren felt very regretful when he thought that Yashamaru might have followed in his footsteps because of his negligence again.
