Chapter 172 Equivalent Exchange
"Yes, as long as your contribution is equal to the value of the reward."
Mephisto replied calmly: "If you don't trust me, we can sign a contract-although I am a devil, I pay the most attention to the contract. Unlike the group of angels who only ask for dedication and never return anything, we It follows the principle of equivalent exchange."
Equivalent exchange?
The pricing power is in the hands of Mephisto. He can say that the value of a soul is comparable to the entire earth, and he can also make a certain fact equal to a person who has not yet been born. The things in his hands are the most expensive. Yes, relying on this hand, he has cheated Dr. Doom many times, holding the soul of Doom's mother in his hand, so that the filial son and god Doom can only swallow his anger.
"Yes." Dr. Death nodded. It was for this reason that he traveled a long distance to New Mexico.
While Mephisto was calculating him, he was also calculating the hell lord.
Seeing that Dr. Death was hooked, Mephisto took out a scroll-shaped contract document from behind and handed it to Dr. Death like knights pulling out their belts.
Putting the half-drunk beer on the bar, Dr. Death clapped his hands, borrowed the contract, and then unfolded it like that. Before he could take a closer look at the contents above, a sharp blade suddenly popped out from the barrel, Dr. Grim Reaper's finger was crossed like that—according to the provisions of the contract, the method of confirming the content of the contract is not limited to signing.
After all, it has only been a few years since the popularization of education, and the illiteracy rate in the early years was terribly high. If Mephisto took a fancy to a person's soul, it happened that the other person couldn't write, couldn't write his name correctly and couldn't It would be embarrassing to sign a contract.
So as long as something that belongs to the contractor appears on the contract, it will be considered complete, including but not limited to signatures, fingerprints, blood... If it is extreme, if you spit on the contract document, Mephisto can also think You signed it.
As for the hidden mechanism on the scroll, Johnny Blazer, the contemporary Ghost Rider, was tricked in this way. He opened the contract foolishly, cut his hand before he could take a second look, and let his own blood complete the contract. , just traded his soul to Mephisto.
But it's not over yet, Johnny Blazer traded his soul for the health of his dad with terminal cancer, and then the next day his dad died because of a motorcycle stunt failure, so he lost his loved ones; Under Stowe's control, he staggered with his childhood sweetheart and little girlfriend, and lost his love.
In this way, Johnny Blazer lost almost everything in just a few days, and Mephisto, who can say nothing, made a lot of money.
Now Mephisto has also used this trick on Dr. Death. Considering the physical strength of the other party, his blade has the power of magic and hell dimensions. Among the metal materials on the earth, except Wakanda's Except vibrating gold, there is nothing it cannot cut.
However, Dr. Reaper's titanium body is fused with Adamantium alloy, which is stronger than vibration gold. A series of sparks appeared when the bouncing blade cut his finger, but it didn't even scratch his oily skin, and a white mark didn't hurt. Not left.
"You punk, I knew you would shake Lin Bei me!" Dr. Death raised one hand, threw the contract out, and then turned it into powder with the power of the magnetic field.
The contract is valid only after both parties sign and confirm it, and it is protected by the rules, but the paper that has not been signed is the shit in the toilet and can be easily destroyed. The magic power that Mephisto gave to the contract to protect it lasted only for a few microseconds.
"Since you don't want to trade honestly, don't do it!"
Raising his hand like lifting a table, Dr. Death's slap slapped Mephisto's chin, and the power of the rotating magnetic field instantly turned his clone into ashes... No, not even a speck of dust was left.
The moment Mephisto disappeared, the waitress came out of the back kitchen with two plates of food.
After slapping twenty dollars in cash on the bar, Dr. Death said, "The extra is your tip."
To be honest, the taste of the food in the street bar is really not very good, especially the nondescript hot sauce added, but for Dr. Death, this is his first meal in this world, which is of great significance.
However, the craftsmanship of the waitresses is really not very good.
With tears in his eyes, he had to finish the dishes he ordered, resisting the discomfort in his taste, Dr. Death ate half of the two dishes, when suddenly someone pushed open the door of the bar, and the night wind mixed with raindrops blew in.
Another well-dressed old man came, dressed in the clothes of a missionary, holding a cane with a crystal tip in his hand. His hair was thin and his face was pale. He looked like he was about to die, but he was very energetic.
There is no doubt that this is Mephisto who has reappeared in a different image.
"Damn you, Pu Jiezi, how dare you appear in front of Lin Bei again!"
Seeing this, Dr. Reaper dropped the spoon and stopped eating altogether: "Don't think that I don't know how important that contract is to you. You still want to bully me when you ask me to do something. Let me tell you, this matter requires extra money."
The movement was obviously not right, the blond waiter immediately hid under the bar, took out his mobile phone and prepared to call the police.
"This is a real contract." A document was handed to Dr. Death. Compared with the previous one, which was more ornate and solemn, this one was just a piece of paper. Mephisto said: "My request has been written on it." Yes, you can fill in the reward you want at any time."
"I have many avatars. Although each of them belongs to my main body and has common abilities and memories, each of them has a different style of acting. The method just now is rather dirty."
"Okay, then I will make a request." Dr. Death took the contract and glanced at it, and said, "I want you to control human desires and draw magic power from them."
After the words fell, a paragraph of text appeared on the contract out of thin air. It was what Dr. Death said just now, but it was written in a more rigorous form.This means that Dr. Death has signed the contract, and the transaction between the two parties has been established.
"Sure enough, you know my hidden hands..." Mephisto laughed, but there was a coldness in his smile, wishing he could chew up Dr. Death's belt and bones.
Manipulating human desires and playing with human sins are their devil's forte and the foundation of their lives. After this contract, it is equivalent to hollowing out half of their family property and handing it over.
But when signing a contract, it must be executed according to the terms. This is the rule he set, and he cannot overthrow it by himself. That would be his own brand.
"Hahaha, this contract can be reached, which means that the remuneration I proposed is not a loss for you." Raising the contract document in his hand, Dr. Death said: "Do you want me to tell you all about your plan?" Come out, when the time comes, you will be the target of everyone's criticism."
