The sound of breaking wind disappeared, and the blade stopped just one inch into Jiang Lu's neck.
The devil breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly: "I am your Minister of Law!"
Today, Jiang Lu has forgotten many things about the underworld, including most of his former subordinates. The so-called Minister of Justice is obviously one of them.
But Jiang Lu also heard that the demon not only had no hostility towards him, but also seemed to be somewhat loyal to him.
Jiang Lu hesitated for a moment, pointed at his neck and asked, "Can you help me see if I cut the artery? I don't dare to move."
......
After helping Jiang Lu deal with his injuries, the devil stood respectfully in front of Jiang Lu.
"What's wrong, little brother? You can't even pass this little test. I'm a little disappointed in you..."
Jiang Lu, who found out that he had been unlucky again for no apparent reason, showed his shameless attitude.
Although Jiang Lu did not seem to be testing him from the beginning to the end, and had been trying his best, and was easily defeated in the end, the devil still believed his words without a doubt.
As for some unreasonable things, since the Lord did so, he must have his reasons.
"I'm sorry! I deserve to die!"
Jiang Lu waved his hand: "Forget it, tell me, how did you recognize me?"
"this..."
The demon anxiously searched his mind for something nice to say, and after racking his brains, he said carefully, "I was shocked by the Lord's outward arrogance."
“Hehehe.” Jiang Lu laughed like a villain and reached out his hand with satisfaction. The devil also took two steps forward and squatted down, so that Jiang Lu could pat his shoulder without having to stand up. “Not bad, it’s worth my training.”
"My Lord, but why are you testing me?"
"Uh...this..."
Jiang Lu said carefully: "After all, I have been away for so long, I can't guarantee that you won't... People's hearts are hard to predict, please understand."
The demon suddenly realized something: "My Lord...you won't forget me, right?"
Jiang Lu's smile became stiff: "Is it obvious?"
"Anyone could betray you, but I can't!"
The devil seemed to be heartbroken, and asked sadly: "Didn't you say that I was your most capable subordinate? Didn't you take any memory of me with you?"
"Ah... Mainly because there are some more important things and the memory is not enough..."
Jiang Lu thought of his treasured collection of the complete set of underworld ghost girl illustrations and awkwardly avoided the devil's gaze: "So who are you?"
"My name has long been forgotten, but the name you gave me will live forever."
The demon proudly spoke his name:
"I am the God of Contracts!"
He looked at Jiang Lu and said loyally, "So I, who signed a 21.3 billion year contract to sell myself, will never betray you!"
"Why 21.3 billion years?"
"I do not know."
Wouldn't this be something only idiots would sign?
Jiang Lu thought so and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Yes!" The God of Contract said in surprise, "That's how you laughed at that time!"
Chapter 84: Having more friends makes traveling easier
This is the downside of being reborn without memories.
Most people believe that if they were given the chance to be reborn, then experiencing life a second time would make up for all their regrets.
But the fact is, if you are reborn without any memories, then no matter what your previous life was like, it will not make any difference if you are reborn again.
Who can guarantee that we are not now starting our life for the second, third, or fourth time?
Take Jiang Lu now for example. If there were no God of Contract, he would not realize that he has repeated his bad taste from the past.
"Is that what I thought at first? It makes sense."
Jiang Lu looked at the idiot in front of him with a smile:
"So what this means is, what is the situation in the underworld now that I am gone?"
"I don't know...After you disappeared, the underworld experienced a major reshuffle. I don't know the details, but I heard from my old friends that you are not dead, you just became everywhere."
"To... everywhere?" Jiang Lu's mouth twitched: "There's nothing wrong with that statement."
The god of the contract also had only a vague understanding: "I signed a contract with you, my lord, and I can no longer serve two masters. So I didn't even have the opportunity to have a meeting like everyone else. I was expelled from the underworld before I even knew who the new master of the underworld was."
"What about those contracts?"
"It's been handed over. When I came out, all my belongings could fit into one cardboard box..."
Facing the innocent-looking God of Contract, Jiang Lu had a headache.
I thought I would be able to learn about the underworld by chance, but it turned out that this guy who once held a high position has become a marginalized person.
"Then what are you doing now?"
"Isn't this a devil in hell?" Although the god of the contract has no face, his body language is very rich. The gesture of spreading his hands is quite similar to Jiang Lu's charm, and one can tell at a glance that he has indeed been with Jiang Lu for quite some time.
Jiang Lu scratched his head: "Are you going to change jobs right now?"
"I was fired. I had no choice. Besides, I am now an outsider who knows how to chant sutras. With my solid professional skills, my current treatment is much better than before. Apart from those famous demons, I am the next one below. I am considered a high-level person anyway."
“So you are an immigrant now?”
"Please wait a moment." The God of Contracts began to rummage through the drawers at home.
It is worth mentioning that if you ignore the furniture and some of the horrifying decorations and totems in the house, this place is actually not much different from an ordinary home.
Soon, the God of Contract took out a stack of documents.
"Look, the migration certificate, the divine citizenship, we now belong to the gods of the Hebrew system."
"..."
A bit weird, but makes sense.
"No, to be honest, aren't contracts their strong point? Can you be considered skilled here?" Jiang Lu asked in confusion.
"This is all thanks to you!"
When this was mentioned, the God of Contract became interested: "The contract here is about equal exchange, you get what you pay for, but they know nothing about your theory of 'contract traps', and have no idea what hidden clauses and unfair treaties are.
Relying on this, I directly launched a dimensionality reduction attack and crushed the contract system here!
All in all, my success is inseparable from your teachings, and it’s all your credit.”
"I taught you that?" Jiang Lu couldn't help but ask, "Why was I born like that?"
"For example, the world you came from, that kid still doesn't know it. It's fun to use my power now. After a while, he will not only pay with his life as the price, but also become my slave. Then I won't have to come there, and I can just wait for him to pay me rent regularly."
The God of Contract said with a smile.
"Wait..." Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment: "You mean, he will become a demon soon?"
"Yes." The God of Contract nodded at first, but soon shook his head and corrected himself: "Not really a demon. To use your old words, just a small fish."
"Yeah, that's something I can say." Jiang Lu nodded and smiled, "As expected of me."
"Oh, no, wait a minute!"
Jiang Lu quickly woke up from his self-intoxication and realized something: "If I hadn't signed a contract with him, when you brought me here, he would have become the demon who took over your agreement in that world.
So my target is still White?!"
Looking at it again, the mission is about finding the demon who sells souls.
It seems that it was White who signed the agreement from the beginning to the end...
Okay, okay, you’re playing word games again, huh?
This time, I was so anxious that he lost his temper.
Hearing this, the God of Contract asked, "What's the goal?"
"Don't worry about it."
"Oh."
Jiang Lu frowned and thought about the countermeasures. After a long time, he said, "Kneel down. I beg you to do me a favor."
"Okay." The God of Contract knelt down obediently and looked at Jiang Lu curiously.
"If you do this, remove all the demonic power from that world."
"That won't work." The Contract God immediately showed an embarrassment: "I have been following this order personally for several years. If I say I don't want to do it, I won't be able to explain myself when they ask me about it. I have worked so hard to save up some money, and now it's ruined again."
"Why are you so stubborn? I told you to ignore the orders there. I'm not stopping you from doing business."
Jiang Lu sighed:
"The Hebrew system, right?"
"OK."
Jiang Lu thought for a moment and said, "Do you know the God of Redemption?"
“I don’t know him.” The God of Contract shook his head: “But I’ve heard of him.”
"Go find her at the Tower of Redemption. She has a lot of prisoners there, most of whom are vicious. If you go there to retrieve souls, won't you get some sales?"
"Don't joke with me."
The God of Contract smiled bitterly: "She is the high and mighty goddess of heaven. I am just a devil now. Can she agree to this?"
"Don't worry about that. I won't cheat you." Jiang Lu waved his hand and said, "I'm not bragging to you. Do you know the Adam's Covenant?"
"I know." The God of Contract thought of something and was suddenly shocked: "Could it be that..."
Jiang Lu smiled shyly: "I'll call you when the wine is served."
The God of Contract laughed proudly: "Okay, okay, Master, don't worry, I will definitely give you a big red envelope when the time comes!"
