Chapter 303 I may have spoken a little too loudly just now
After reading it, Nocturne showed interest.
Lu Qi smiled and said: "Sixty years, for a devil like you, is of course just a passing time, not worth mentioning, right?"
"That's true."
Nocturne did not deny it, and his tone was slightly proud.
For humans, sixty years can be a long time.
But for him, it was literally just a blink of an eye.
He has an almost immortal life, so he can naturally not take these sixty years seriously.
However, right now, Nocturne doesn't want to stay in this damn place for a moment.
Every day here, he felt tortured.
He will be free tomorrow!
Be free now!
He felt it carefully and found that this seemingly simple contract did have a special aura. It must have been the means exerted by this kid.
But it didn't make him feel in danger.
Thinking of this, Nocturne couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.
Does this kid really think that a magical contract can really control him?
Don’t forget what he was born into!
This couldn't help but make Nocturne recall things that he had forgotten.
Originally, he was born because of the evil thoughts of a group of shadow mages who wanted to control the spiritual realm. He became their puppet and was controlled by them, causing wanton massacre and destruction through the spiritual realm.
However, with the growth of understanding and strength in the spiritual realm, the constraints that the shadow mages thought were extremely reliable have begun to fade away on Nocturne.
Yes, he easily broke through their control and then killed all the shadow mages with his backhand.
Later, in the real world, there was a human dark mage who tried to become his master through a similar method, on the condition that he could help Nocturne come to the real world.
Nocturne readily agreed.
The human mage thought he could easily control him to cause trouble. However, after arriving in the spiritual realm, Nocturne's first thing was to kill the mage.
The so-called restrictions of dark magic have been easily broken by Nocturne.
Therefore, in Nocturne's eyes, the contract in front of him is just like a child's toy, even crude in every aspect.
He even suspected that this kid was not interested in the dark mage.
But that's not important. For Nocturne, this is an opportunity.
As long as he gets in touch with the spiritual realm, he can master the method of breaking the seal on his body. This is his confidence as a high-level demon.
However, right now, he still needs to cooperate with the performance.
Looking away from the contract, Mo Teng frowned, and there was a joke in the black Doudou eyes: "Boy, do you really think I'm stupid?"
Lu Qi's expression did not change and he asked strangely: "How do you say this?"
"This contract only says that I will obey your wishes, but it doesn't say what you have to pay for me. It's just freedom? Do you think it's enough?"
He raised the issue of the unreasonableness of the contract.
It only said that Lu Qi would return his freedom after sixty years, but it didn't say what else he could get.
This is obviously an overlord contract with unequal conditions.
"That's it." Lu Qi nodded suddenly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Then what are your conditions?"
Nocturne said calmly: "My condition is that I can help you with this dream network. But I must have at least three hours of activity time in the spiritual field every day."
He knew that these two people were obviously worried about allowing him to act in the spiritual realm, but he just wanted to bring it up.
This can be put on the table and used as a bargaining chip, depending on which of the two parties is more confident in their own methods.
Otherwise, based solely on the content of the contract, he needs to obey Lu Qi's orders unconditionally.
If he forces himself to leave the spiritual realm after completing the Dream Network, he will definitely be the loser.
Sure enough, as Nocturne expected, Lu Qi slowly frowned, with an expression of concern and thought.
After a while, he shook his head: "No, three hours is too long."
He had his worry written all over his face.
"There is no time in the spiritual realm. For you, is three hours still long? It also just passes in the blink of an eye."
Nocturne said in a calm tone, with a high posture, like a master negotiator who is in charge of the negotiation table.
Not at all like the cowardly little black dog before.
In other words, it's just pretending.
He naturally knew that it would be impossible to negotiate within three hours, so he initially stated an unreasonable time.
Now, it depends on where this kid's bottom line is.
"You know far more about the spiritual realm than we do. What if you go back to your old profession and harm other people through the channels of the spiritual realm?"
Lu Qi expressed his concerns and then gave a condition: "One hour at most, and you can't hurt innocent people during this hour. If you agree, I will add this clause to the contract now. If you don't agree, , then there’s no need to talk about it.”
Nocturne didn't change his expression. After pretending to think for a while, he finally nodded: "Okay, I agree."
After all, everything is just acting, and what he ultimately wants is to return to the spiritual realm.
When the time comes, he can use all his strength to find a way out of trouble.
In his eyes, this contract is nothing more than waste paper.
Lucci asked Frey to get pen and paper and added new content to the contract. Nocturne had one hour of free movement in the spiritual realm, but during this period he could not harm innocent people.
After both parties confirmed that there was no problem, the signing ceremony began.
Lu Qi swish, signed his full name on Party A, and then placed the contract in front of Nocturne.
"It's your turn."
He seemed to still be uneasy and still frowning in thought.
Nocturne began to laugh secretly in his heart. No longer giving him a chance to think, the dog's paw pressed on the red seal, and then slapped it on Party B's signature place.
At this moment, he had already thought about what to do when he went to the spiritual realm.
Man is still ignorant after all and cannot understand what the spiritual realm means to him.
The fight between emptiness and resignation is finally over, the dawn of freedom is right in front of us, and Nocturne is filled with excitement!
However, the next second, he saw something strange.
The dog paw prints he took on the contract started to change. As the lines flowed, they suddenly turned into two words.
"Nocturne!"
The little black dog opened his eyes wide, wondering why this change occurred.
Then another second passed, and he suddenly felt bad in his heart.
There was a kind of restriction and restraint that was far beyond his understanding, taking root deep in his soul at a rapid speed and growing wildly.
This seemed to be a power that was higher than his life dimension. No matter how hard he tried, he could not understand or resist.
His soul began to tremble, and the fear nightmare felt deep fear at this moment.
From this point of view, the contract cannot be simpler.
He actually foresaw the consequences of breaking the contract, which would be a direct tearing of the soul and crushing destruction.
Irreversible and irresistible!
He originally thought that the spiritual realm would be his hope for liberation, but there was a kind of despair. He didn't even go to the spiritual realm, and he knew that his hope was slim.
This is the terrifying feeling this contract brings to Nocturne.
At the same time, he felt that there was an inexplicable connection between himself and Lu Qi.
From the other party, there was the same irresistible sense of oppression as the content of the contract.
"W-what did you do?"
Nocturne opened his eyes wide, and for the first time, his small black eyes showed a look of fear.
He understood in an instant that once this contract was signed, it would be something that he would completely resist.
How could the real world have such a terrifying overlord contract that was completely inconsistent with the rules of operation?
No matter how powerful the containment magic is, it should not have such a powerful or even terrifying effect.
What's even more frightening is that this actually comes from a human prince in a mortal kingdom.
You know, this country was still in a state of absolute ban on magic two months ago.
However, the restriction that Lu Qi took out now directly refreshed Nocturne's world view.
Only two seconds had passed, but Nocturne already felt intense regret for his actions in the previous two seconds.
He understood that this contract was no joke. From now on, he would become a slave completely obedient to Lu Qi's orders.
Although it has its own conditions written on it, what use are those conditions at this time?
Damn, damn, damn!
Why does this happen?
Nocturne roared in his heart, but his soul was still trembling against the terrifying and suppressing power of the contract.
At this time, Lu Qi changed his expression of hesitation, worry, and concern before, and instead showed a signature smile: "It seems that you have understood, this contract is not as simple as you think. You should also know , the contract has come into effect at this moment.”
Nocturne swallowed hard and forced a smile: "I spoke a little too loudly just now, I'm sorry."
On the surface he was apologizing, but in his heart he had actually scolded Lu Qi bloody.
This damn human kid actually played his part! !
If I had known that this contract was so terrible, Nocturne would not have signed it even if I killed him.
Sixty years, and in the next sixty years, he will have no room for resistance in front of Lu Qi.
Even if he directly lifts the seal on himself!
"Didn't you talk happily about the terms? Didn't you pretend just now? Didn't you think you were sure of me?"
At this time, Lu Qi stretched out his hand, pinched the back of the little black dog's neck, lifted him up and looked at him with a smile.
This smile was terrifying in Nocturne's eyes.
If there was cold sweat, it was all over Nocturne's face at this moment. He forced out an ugly smile and did not dare to say a word.
"Also, you seemed quite unhappy with me just now."
Lu Qi's understatement at this moment made the little black dog tremble again.
Damn it, this contract can even sense the thoughts in the heart?
If possible, Nocturne really wants to slap himself now. If he had known earlier, why would he be so confident and pretend like that?
Lu Qi didn't care about these trivial matters now. He threw the little black dog away casually and said: "From now on, you can enter and exit the spiritual realm at will, and stay as long as you want. Then, hurry up and get the matter of Meng Network done. I I’ll give you three days, got it?”
The little black dog's heart moved, and he immediately lay on the ground and said, "I know."
Entering and exiting the spiritual realm at will?
This made Nocturne's lifeless heart show some signs of rekindling.
He still held out a glimmer of hope that, given a little more time, he might be able to find a way to break the contract.
Does this kid really trust him so much?
After leaving the Dream Network Laboratory, Frey also expressed his concerns: "Your Highness, do you really want to allow him to freely enter and exit the spiritual realm? You know, that is his world."
She still knows something about demons, and these demons often have some mysterious abilities.
In other words, although they sealed Nocturne in some way, they had zero information about him in the spiritual realm.
No one knows what will happen if Nocturne is allowed to return to the spiritual realm.
Lu Qi smiled nonchalantly at this moment: "Don't worry, at least in these sixty years, he won't be able to change the world."
Can he not trust the things produced by the system?
If you can't defeat Nocturne even with this, it's only a matter of time before Nocturne overturns them.
Moreover, Nocturne is not yet one of the top ten demons, nor does he have the ability to make a comeback.
Sixty years is enough time.
As for sixty years from now, let’s talk about it then.
Right now, the Meng Network thing is basically done.
After hearing what Lu Qi said, Frei no longer thought too much about the matter. She naturally had great trust in Lu Qi's abilities.
If Lucci is done, then this is done.
While walking on the road, Lu Qi said: "You still need to tell that stupid dog how to handle the various details of the Dream Network."
Frey nodded and replied, "Yes."
After sending Lucci outside, Frey returned.
When he returned to the underground laboratory, the little black dog was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, and his consciousness had entered the spiritual realm.
The spiritual realm, for many people, is a place beyond the ordinary, close but untouchable and unseen.
In fact, this is the other side of the realm of reality, which is more fantasy and pure.
There are also living things here, or in other words, spiritual beings.
Otherwise, Nocturne would not have been born in the spiritual realm.
Some people with strong consciousness can use their spiritual bodies to enter the spiritual realm or connect with the spiritual realm to achieve cultivation or other effects.
Cultivation in the spiritual realm is often faster than in the real realm.
It's just that only a few people can do this.
Many mages can also enter the spiritual realm through magic.
This is also the place where many demons live, because human consciousness will be fed back to the spiritual realm, and so will evil thoughts. Greed, lust, and murderous desires are often the birth stones of some demons.
But similarly, human kind thoughts will give birth to many beautiful things in the spiritual realm.
The spiritual realm is endlessly mysterious, and there are only many more magical places than the real realm.
At least after so many years, Nocturne feels extremely familiar when he returns to this area.
He felt that the world was huge and he was considered "free".
But when standing between this world, Nocturne felt a little embarrassed.
For the first time, he felt so clearly confused that he didn't know where to go.
