24. The Devil and the Girl (6500 words for the moon)
Thinking of this, Fang Ze lightly tapped the table with the knuckle of his right index finger.
Suddenly, three-dimensional images of many people popped up in front of him.
In addition to the previous candidates, there are four more people on this list.
They were all vendors or pedestrians that Fang Ze met when he visited the market today.
Fang Ze took advantage of Bai Ling not paying attention, pretended to be unintentional, and secretly had physical contact with them, leaving them as "purchasing agents" candidates.
But, to be honest, Fang Ze didn't dare to use them.
First, because this plan involves an exchange of [material]. Without knowing their personalities and backgrounds in advance, I only relied on intimidation and pretense to get them to "purchase" on my behalf. It was too difficult, and it was too difficult.
It's too easy to leak information.
The second is... To be honest, Fang Ze is very doubtful about the true identities of these people.
Judging from today's perfect "protection" of Fang Ze by the Security Bureau.
Normally, it is difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with Fang Ze.
So these people are actually probably personnel deployed by the Security Bureau or the Investigation Bureau...
So once Fang Ze chooses them, it will be equivalent to not recruiting him...
And if you don't choose them, but choose someone else...
Thinking of this, Fang Ze scrolled back the list and pondered...
Not to mention that those people are also too difficult to deal with.
Even if Fang Ze really played for a long time and fooled them, Fang Ze was not sure whether they could purchase the awakening materials in a short time.
Thinking, thinking, Fang Ze's hand slowly stopped on a three-dimensional image.
In that three-dimensional image, it is the girl I saw today and dreamed about these two days...
Fang Ze was not surprised when he saw her image. After all, the original person had bullied her before, so he would definitely have physical contact with her.
This is why Fang Ze felt that he could summon her as soon as he saw her today.
But....is she a suitable candidate?
Looking at the three-dimensional image of the girl, Fang Ze fell into deep thought...
Weak personality, easy to "control"....
I know her experience and "weaknesses", so I can easily cut into it....
I live in Qingshan City and have done my own research and can buy what I need...
If you think about it this way, it seems really good...
The only question is whether the security bureau will be around her to control her?
After careful consideration for a while, Fang Ze silently made a decision.
Regardless, let’s try it first.
Even if there is someone controlling her around her and there is no way to "purchase" on her behalf, at least she can get some of the security bureau's surveillance information, so she won't get nothing.
Moreover...if the intelligence value of this surveillance is high, then I can still have a good "harvest".
Of course, in order to avoid exposing his identity and to more reasonably ask her to help with shopping, he still had to disguise himself well.
After thinking about it, Fang Ze couldn't help but come up with an idea.
Maybe... this kind of deception would be very reasonable...
And...it can also help girls start a new life...
It's not like I treated her badly...
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and began to arrange the late-night investigation room in front of him...
With previous experience in decorating rooms, Fang Ze is now more and more comfortable in decorating rooms.
Therefore, with a wave of his hand, a mountain range burning with blazing flames suddenly emerged from the ground and extended all the way to the distance, blocking the wall and the iron door.
Then, he stepped lightly, and suddenly a dark abyss appeared under his feet.
He looked towards the chair.
The chair turned into a black throne, rising from the ground, supporting him and slowly getting taller.
In the mist, his figure began to gradually become taller, and dark goat-like horns sprouted from his head...
After everything was adjusted, Fang Ze hid the old desk lamp into the abyss, and then lightly clicked on the girl's image.
After a moment, a thin figure slowly appeared on the dark ground burning with flames...
.........
Feeling the hard earth under her body and the scorching heat through her skin, she woke up from her sleep vaguely and confused... And after seeing clearly the environment she was in, her body trembled, and the conditions
He shrank into a ball in reflection. Then he carefully looked at the scene in front of him.
Aren’t you sleeping at home?
This is where?
Why are there burning flames everywhere, a bottomless abyss, and...
Seeing the figure standing high on the black throne, with two horns on his head, which made people intimidated just by looking at it. Miaomiao quickly lowered his head and prostrated to the ground, trembling all over and speechless...
...
Feeling the girl's strong and uneasy emotion, Fang Ze, who was sitting high on the black throne, nodded silently: It was smoother than he imagined...
It seems that the plan can go ahead.
Thinking of this, he slowly opened his mouth.
His voice was hoarse, like two metal plates rubbing against each other, filled with the smell of sulfur, "Raise your head..."
After hearing Fang Ze's words, the girl's body trembled even more.
But she didn't dare to resist, so she could only stiffly raise her pitiful face little by little.
During the day, Fang Ze couldn't take a closer look.
Now that he looked carefully, Fang Ze realized that the other party was really thin...
He is over 1.6 meters tall and weighs less than 80 pounds. His face is full of malnutrition.
However, maybe because of her natural beauty, even though she lives such a difficult life, her skin is still delicate and fair.
Coupled with her tearful, watery eyes.
Just one glance will make people feel affectionate and worried about the fate of the girl in front of them.
At this time, she may have suddenly come to a strange environment from her sleep, and her whole body was full of tension and fear.
And thinking about what the other party has experienced over the years, Fang Ze couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
This is a miserable girl.
Although I feel sad in my heart, the play still has to be performed.
Therefore, Fang Ze, who was behind the fog, calmed down his mood, and then deliberately "smiled", "Why are you crying?"
The girl looked at Fang Ze with tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Back to you, sir, I...I'm afraid..."
Fang Ze said in a subtle way, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, the girl's body trembled, and her tears began to fall...
Seeing this, Fang Ze laughed "arrogantly" and said, "Hahaha. Don't worry, little girl. I'm not interested in cannibalism. I'm a devil, not a demon."
"Violence is the most boring thing in the world."
"We devils don't like violence, we only like transactions."
There are obviously no devils or legends about demons in this world.
So the girl's innocent face couldn't help but reveal a look of confusion.
But then, she remembered that no matter what it was, she couldn't mess with it, so she quickly lowered her head, knelt there, and said softly, "But... I have nothing to trade."
Fang Ze put his hands on the throne, cupped his chin, looked at her condescendingly, and said domineeringly, "You have."
"Your friendship, love, family affection, and life span can all be traded."
"Even...even your soul can..."
Hearing the words of the "devil" in front of her, the girl was startled like a frightened little rabbit. She wanted to refuse, but she didn't dare.
But at this moment, the "devil" seemed to have seen through her mind and said, "Don't refuse in a hurry. You only heard what you paid, don't you want to know what you can get?"
The girl raised her head, looked at the "devil" with her big eyes, and blinked slightly.
"The devil" spread his arms and said in a contagious voice, "Endless lifespan. Supreme rights. Enjoy endless wealth..."
The girl's eyes dimmed, obviously not interested.
"The Devil" lowered his head to look at her, and his high-pitched voice lowered, "Of course, the things that bother you and the people you want to save can all be traded..."
Hearing the "devil"'s words, the girl suddenly raised her head and looked at the "devil".
The "devil" in front of me was shrouded in mist. He was at least two meters tall and had two goat horns on his head. His whole body was pitch black, as if it had been burned by charcoal. It was full of ominous feeling at first glance.
Especially those eyes that see through the mist, are mysterious, powerful, and evil, as if they have the ability to see through people's hearts.
The girl became more and more frightened, but because the words of the "devil" just now gave her too many fantasies, she finally mustered up the courage and asked weakly, "Then please, please...can you help me save it?"
Are you alone?"
"Devil" looked at her and said, "Of course. But, what are you going to trade for?"
After hearing the "devil's" words, the girl's eyes first showed a lot of hesitation.
After a moment, she said, "Is love okay?"
"I...I don't need this, it's too luxurious..."
Speaking of this, she lowered her head and whispered, "If that's not enough, family love is fine... But I don't have any parents anymore. I don't know if this is worth it..."
"or....."
"or...."
At this point, she raised her head and said, "Is life okay? I can give a few years, or more than ten years, of my life in exchange for his peace."
The devil did not answer immediately. He sat back on the throne, looked at the girl, and said with a playful look, "Is he so important to you?"
The girl shook her head first, then nodded.
Perhaps because she was determined to make a deal with the "devil" in front of her, she gradually opened her heart.
She said weakly, "It's not him. It's his mother..."
She lowered her head and whispered, "His mother was kind to me. When she left this world, I promised her that I would take good care of him..."
"Devil" smiled, "Interesting, interesting... You saved him once, can you save him twice?"
"I saved him twice, can I save him three times?"
"Are you sure you can always save him?"
The girl's eyes were full of confusion.
She was confused for a while, then slowly shook her head, "I don't know either."
"However, if you can save it, then save it."
"My life is not worth anything anyway."
"If it weren't for his mother, maybe... I wouldn't be alive now."
"This is what I owe her."
Hearing the girl's words, the "devil" seemed to suddenly become angry.
He slammed the throne and cursed angrily, "Absurd!"
As he cursed, the volcano in the distance erupted violently, and the surrounding flames also surged!
The girl was so frightened that she shrank into a ball and looked at everything in front of her in horror.
She had no idea what was happening, nor why the "devil" in front of her was so angry.
At this moment, she heard the "devil" snorted coldly and said, "Repaying kindness is an excellent quality. But there are limits to repaying kindness."
"You should repay his mother for her kindness to you."
"Even if his mother passes away, you want to repay your kindness to him."
"But that doesn't mean you have to repay the favor without any bottom line!"
"especially....."
Having said this, the "devil" sat back on the throne, looked at her, and said, "Although his mother is kind to you, he is not good to you, right?"
"He beats you and scolds you from time to time, but he doesn't accept your kindness."
After hearing the "devil's" words, the girl looked pale and lowered her head.
The "Devil" was silent for a while, and his mood calmed down.
Then he said hoarsely, "I can help you."
The girl raised her head in surprise.
Then he heard the "devil" say, "But... there are conditions attached."
The girl asked weakly, "What are the additional conditions?"
"The devil" said, "That man is in a dead end. Without my help, he will definitely die."
"You helped him this time, and one life is worth another life."
"The kindness can be considered repaid."
"From now on, his affairs will have nothing to do with you."
"You have to start living your own real life."
After hearing the "devil's" words, the girl's watery eyes were filled with surprise.
Maybe no one had ever told her that she could do this, but at that moment, her eyes did feel a little brighter.
For a moment, she cried and laughed, nodded, and said with a choked voice, "Yes. I understand. Mr. Devil."
The moment she agreed, the girl suddenly felt extremely relaxed...
Seeing her agree, "Devil" yawned, and then said nonchalantly, "Don't be too happy too soon. What I just said was just an additional condition, not the price of the transaction."
"Do you really think the devil is doing charity?"
After hearing the devil's words, the girl remembered that the person in front of her was a devil who traded souls.
She said "Oh" and then knelt on the ground again, patiently waiting for the devil's price...
