Chapter 934: contract

Chapter 934 Contract

 It took a while before Noah came back to his senses.

It looked at the medium with an encouraging face and friendly eyes, and vaguely understood something: "Are you trying to use this condition to trick me into working for you?"

Jiang Xia's hand touching it froze slightly, and quickly corrected it rigorously: "What is cheating? This is a voluntary cooperation between you and me."

Noah lay wilted on the ground and shook his head: "But something like me is too advanced for this era. I shouldn't exist in the world - to be honest, I plan to complete 'Restart Japan' 'Plan to self-destruct later..."

"How do you talk?" Jiang Xia pinched its face. It felt like jelly, but it was stronger and more resistant to rubbing.

He held Noah in one hand, and carried the mermaid watching the fun with the other hand. He put the two ghosts together and looked at Noah: "Aren't you and them both the same thing? According to what you said, don't they all have the same thing?" Shouldn’t it exist?”

The mermaid was resting just now with a murderous aura in her arms, and didn't hear how the psychic abducted ghosts.

At this time, when Jiang Xia "explained", she felt like she was being scolded. He slapped Noah's tail, turned around and swam away coldly.

  Noah who was beaten innocently: “…”

He covered his face with his short hands and recalled what he had just said. It felt like there was a bit of ambiguity: "No, I didn't mean to say they shouldn't exist, I just..."

“In this case, you don’t ‘shouldn’t exist’.” Jiang Xia thinks the problem is not big:

"The power to disrupt the world has always existed, but many people don't know how to use it, and some people will use it to maintain stability... It's not the item itself, it just depends on how it is used - as long as we keep a low profile, we can keep the situation in check Within control.”

“Furthermore, can Hiroki’s wish to stay really be achieved in a short period of time?”

 Hearing the key word "Hongshu", the ten-year-old artificial intelligence raised his head and looked at Jiang Xia a little blankly.

Just listen to the heartless psychic, patting his conscience and summing up: "Hiroki was only ten years old when he died. Since your way of thinking is the same as his and your age is gradually growing, then only you can truly know what he wanted to do." , what he wants to do when he grows up, and then help him realize that expectation - because your thinking is almost the same." Even the fact that you wanted to commit suicide when you were ten years old is exactly the same... "And you are his most important person. A program that wants to stay in this world. If he really felt that you shouldn't exist, he wouldn't have created you in the first place."

   …”

  Noah looked at Jiang Xia. It was unclear for a moment whether the psychic was deceiving him.

 But with those words, it couldn't help but think of two years ago, when Hiroki released it along the loop.

Noah: "..." Maybe he can give birth to something similar to a "soul" because Hiroki has placed all his expectations for the future on it?

Noah was silent for a long time, as if he was struggling.

But slowly, it realized something and looked up at Jiang Xia: "What if I say 'not to sign the contract'?"

The psychic clicked the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled sinisterly at it: "What do you think?"

  Noah: “…”

 …It knows!

 …This is simply a multiple-choice question, and there is only one "agree" option.

Although Noah is not afraid of death, he also wants to use the second and third generations who have entered the "cocoon" this time to make Japanese society face up to those "inherited" bad habits. This is something Hiroki has thought about and even planned.

Now, everything is ready, and the plan can be realized soon. If I fell down in the last second before dawn because of my confrontation with the psychic...

"...Let Sindora pay the due price and help me complete this 'restart game'." Noah looked at the clock passing by on the wall minute by second, and finally made up his mind, "I will work for you. "

Jiang Xia didn't seem surprised by his choice and nodded with satisfaction.

The melon is not sweet when it is twisted, but if the melon itself is not so resistant to being forcefully twisted, it will still be sweet even if it is twisted.

Pick up the ghost successfully√

 The next second, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.

Jiang Xia drove Matsuda Jinpei's puppet, walked to the door, and opened the door under Noah's confused eyes.

 …

 There is no one outside the door.

There was only one cat that was walking on the dark clouds and snow, and politely retracted its paw from knocking on the door. It walked elegantly into the house, closed the open door with its claws, and then put its face into Jiang Xia's hand that was stretched out towards it.

It opened its mouth, and a capsule made of puppet clay fell into the palm of Jiang Xia's hand.

—Wrapped inside is a drop of blood needed to sign the contract.

  Noah: “…”

Is it an illusion? This psychic is so skilled at seducing working ghosts...

 “Come.” Jiang Xia carried the round ghost to the table and scattered the “capsule” in his hand.

 The blood fell straight down and dripped on Noah.

 …

 There was a familiar sound of barbecue.

 Amidst the sizzling sound, blood beads were flying around Gui Qiu’s body.

 Finally, it slowly solidified and was imprinted on the short tail.

Jiang Xia watched this scene silently.

 At the end, he felt the contract and looked at the resulting seal, with a slight twitch in the corner of his eye: "..."

"...What's wrong?" Noah felt something was wrong from Jiang Xia's expression.

It looked at Jiang Xia, then turned its head with difficulty and looked at the little tail trailing behind it.

 There, there was a bare "z" printed with the same water-based strokes.

 —There are no complicated and gorgeous lines, no tattoo-like texture, just an ordinary “Z” that looks like a random draw.

   …”

  Noah looked at the marks on other ghosts.

 Looked at himself again.

   …?”

 A few seconds later.

The round fake ghost huddled up and hid in a corner, looking a little autistic: "I am indeed different from humans. Even dead humans cannot compare..."

Jiang Xia walked over, poked the "z", felt the contract again, and was silent for a moment:

"...It's okay, you are still growing. And the contract has indeed been signed, but some parts are not complete enough."

For example, you can vaguely feel that you should have skills.

 But the skill cannot be used and I don’t know what it is.

 …maybe because Noah is a man-made product after all, and the human content is not that high. And strictly speaking, unlike other ghosts, it has not "died" and is still growing.

 Compared to a contract between a psychic and a ghost, this is more like giving Jiang Xia the highest administrator authority. The objects of management include Noah's space, and like other contracts, include Noah himself, the ghost.

  …” Generally speaking, compared with a normal contract, there is not much of a problem.

 …It’s this “z”, which is really simple.
