Qi Xuansu does not completely trust Audrey, but this does not prevent him from making a deal with Audrey.
"Miss Al, the reason why a famous actor like you can achieve success is not only his own talent and hard work, but also some other help." Qi Xuansu said unhurriedly.
Audrey did not deny it: "The financial sponsor exists objectively, but after becoming a so-called famous actor, you will also have a certain degree of freedom."
This is not difficult to understand. For some women who have just entered the industry, the madam will do whatever the madam says. She can be beaten and scolded when she wants. But after becoming an oiran, the madam must also coax her and discuss everything. At that time, she is a good daughter. .
But there will be a big boss and a big backer behind the bustard.
Qi Xuansu asked: "Who is this financial sponsor? Is it Speaker Sophia August?"
Audrey nodded: "In Eastern terms, I am where I am today thanks to her."
This sentence is a double entendre.
Qi Xuansu said thoughtfully: "You want to say, success is also Sophia, failure is also Sophia."
"Yes, that's what it means." Audrey said, "It was Sophia who lifted me up to the sky and made me the much-anticipated Queen of the White Avenue. At the same time, it was Sophia who pushed me into the abyss and made me little by little. Swallowed by darkness.”
Qi Xuansu said nothing.
A female Speaker cultivated an actress with countless fans, but instead of letting the actress engage in power and sex transactions, she forced the actress to become a believer of the Apostle of Hell.
What does she want to do?
Of course, Qi Xuansu did not ask this question, but changed to a more euphemistic way: "Miss Aier, since you want me to help you, then you must let me know clearly what kind of enemy we are going to face. This enemy What do you want to do, why do you do it, and what kind of trump cards do you have. In the words of Easterners, this is called knowing yourself and the enemy and winning every battle."
Audrey obviously understood the tone of Qi Xuansu's words and immediately said: "Sofia is trying to master the power of the Hell Apostle."
Qi Xuansu asked, "Why?"
Audrey said: "Contract. The Hell Apostles are good at deception to obtain containers. The most important point is the contract. They sign contracts with people, but they play word games. They make wishes to others, but they always let their wishes end. It is achieved in an extremely twisted way, and then the reward is collected. However, this word game is two-way, and can also restrict the Hell Apostles. Sophia wants to obtain the power of the Hell Apostles through this method."
Qi Xuansu said: "This is strictly prohibited by the Holy Court."
Audrey's voice became deeper: "That's right. Take the murderous apostle Sirila as an example. If it hadn't been for the blind and arrogant attack on the Holy See because of the 'Cirella Sutra', with her cunning, she would never have been exiled by the Holy See. Hell. Now, Sophia is trying to master Sirilla's power. In the past, there were many such self-righteous people. They were the best among their kind, so they thought they were omnipotent and wanted to challenge the gods. As a result, It is obvious."
"I once heard a story. In the ancient Old World, a man made a deal with the Hell Apostles on the condition that the sun could rise even in the dark night in the north. As a result, the empire from the south invaded the north, and the north was defeated. The flags of the Southern Empire—the golden sun disk flag—are everywhere in the dark night, and the sun really rises in the dark night in the north.”
"What's even more sad is that no matter whether Sophia succeeds or not, as her sacrifice to the apostles of hell, I will undoubtedly go to destruction and sink forever. I don't want to die, I really don't want to die, I want to live .”
At the end of the sentence, Audrey's tone clearly revealed fear and slight madness.
Qi Xuansu was not affected by Audrey and remained calm: "Since the Holy Court strictly prohibits it, why don't you report this matter to the Holy Court?"
Audrey covered her chest with both hands: "Your Excellency, I want to live. If I report to the Holy See, then Sophia's conspiracy has failed, but as a sacrifice, what will happen to me? Or endless imprisonment in the dark. ,want
Was executed in secret. Even Sophia will not be punished. After all, she has not actually summoned the Killing Apostle. She is only in the planning stage. With her strong connections, it is entirely possible to distance herself from herself. Just giving up on me is enough. By that time, I will be the culprit who summoned the demon, and she is still the superior Speaker and has nothing to do with this matter. "
"Only you can help me. You and the power behind you can not only fear the Holy Court, but also the apostles of hell. Sophia is not worth mentioning. I can only obtain true relief by turning to you for help. "
Qi Xuansu said: "So you not only want to escape to Tawanting, but also want to escape to the east. You can avoid Sofia and the murderous apostle Sirila."
Audrey knelt down: "Your Excellency, you are a big shot in the Eastern world. I am willing to provide you with everything you want in exchange for your asylum. It is just a legal status in the Eastern world. I sincerely plead again. you."
Qi Xuansu said: "As long as you are sincere enough. I dare not say more, but just such a request, I can agree to you now. Note, the premise is that you are sincere enough. If this is a trap, then I don't know if I will If you die, I will definitely destroy you."
There is a simple logic here. As long as Audrey informs the Patriarch of the matter and asks the Patriarch to take action himself, Qi Xuansu will basically have no way to escape. There is no need to go around in a big circle and set a trap. Unless Audrey wants to blend into the Eastern world as a female agent, the logic here still doesn't make sense. Such an actress is too eye-catching and will inevitably be closely watched, and the cost of espionage is too high.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu tended to believe that Audrey really wanted to cooperate. The reason why he said such things was actually because he was worried that Audrey would be careless and make mistakes at critical moments, so he repeatedly emphasized sincerity.
"Of course I will be sincere." Audrey said, "This is my promise. After I successfully arrive in Tawanting, I will tell you everything I know."
Qi Xuansu said: "Please get dressed and let's have a formal talk."
Audrey did not put on the evening dress again, but entered the bedroom.
In fact, there was no temptation at all for Audrey at this time. Those densely packed characters from the "Hira Sutra" attached to her skin were like a special suit of clothes, exuding weirdness and terror. It was no joke to scare people into despair. .
In addition, part of Audrey's body has been transformed into a prosthetic body and is not a real human body, which reduces some of the beauty.
This is a rather terrifying body.
After a while, Audrey, who had changed into ordinary household clothes, walked out of the bedroom.
Although this was Audrey's apartment, Qi Xuansu acted as if he was the owner here, extending his hand to motion for Audrey to sit down and talk.
Audrey sat on the sofa next to Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu said: "I still have a few questions. The coming of the Hell Apostles requires a powerful container, and you, not that I mean to belittle you, are obviously not enough to be a container to carry the Hell Apostles."
Audrey said: "Your doubts are reasonable. This is exactly Sophia's intention. Obviously, your body can carry the apostles of hell, but how can Sophia control you? After all, this kind of thing is strictly prohibited by the Holy Court. Yes, it is impossible for her to use the power of the Holy Court to deal with you. It is difficult for her to control a powerful being like you by relying solely on her private power."
"Moreover, even if she is lucky enough to control a powerful being, be it deception or coercion, she can still make this powerful being willingly become the vessel of the apostle of hell. How should she deal with the incarnation of an apostle of hell who is infinitely close to a god? "
"Sofia wanted to seek the power of the Hell Apostles, but didn't want things to get out of her control, so she came up with a way, which was me."
Qi Xuansu only said five words: "I'm very interested."
Audrey rolled up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white forearms. There were no scary words from the "Hira Sutra" on these arms. There were only fair and smooth skin, and even tiny velvet could be seen.
Then I saw Audrey using her other hand to trim the skin of her arm.
One of them was peeled off, revealing the metal pipes, precision gears, and mechanical components underneath the skin.
Qi Xuansu exclaimed: "It is so ingenious that the fake is confused with the real."
Audrey's face was filled with sadness: "Half of my body has been transformed into this steam mechanical structure, which allows me to better carry the power from the hell apostles without giving me powerful combat power. The power makes me truly become a container.”
Qi Xuansu probably understood. This is like a martial artist who only strengthens his qi and blood, comparable to a pseudo-immortal, but does not have a body spirit that is spread all over the body. A simple "blood bag".
Audrey stretched out her hand and pressed it on her chest: "Sophia has implanted a steam power core here. She also wants to further transform my body, and then use this steam power core to control all aspects of me, allowing me to It completely turned into a puppet controlled by her, and could only dance with the movement of her fingers."
"At the same time, this is also a part of Sophia's plan. Once the Hell Apostle successfully arrives, it is not so much entering a body as it is entering an artificial semi-mechanical container. Not only is the Hell Apostle unable to control this body The body will instead be bound by this specially made body. As long as Sophia turns off the steam power core and deactivates all prosthetics, the body will be completely paralyzed, and the descending hell apostle will be trapped inside. In this way Come, she can make a contract with the Hell Apostle and get this part of the power from the Hell Apostle."
