Chapter 255

"Interesting, very interesting. If I guessed right, you must not have told the parliament about it, right?" Zhang Cheng asked with a smile.

Obviously, he can judge from the almost ambiguous attitude of the other party that the old man is taking a way of concealment to achieve the purpose of not offending anyone.

Miles didn't try to deny anything and replied very seriously: "Yes! Why should I tell this to Parliament? They can neither prolong my life nor protect my family. If I poke this out, Selma's descendants will not let my family go, so I let the chaos in Brooklyn go. Now you know what the real danger is? It's not the two who stand on the surface and fight with each other Women, but black hands hiding in the dark to stir up the situation. "

Zhang Cheng nodded approvingly: "yes, it's really not good for you, but it's different for me. I believe I can provide such important news to the parliament, and they must give rich rewards. But I still don't understand why you chose me?"

It is the so-called no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what, no matter.

If a stranger suddenly gives you unimaginable benefits, there must be a hidden conspiracy behind your back.

"It's very simple. I want to make a deal with you, a secret deal that only the two of us know." after that, miles forcibly supported his body and sat up with his skinny arms.

"What about the content?" Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and tried cautiously.

"The content is that I transfer all magic related things to you, including books, notes, laboratories, raw materials, etc., and what you have to do is to ensure the safety of my family. Of course, in order to ensure that you will continue to abide by your promise after my death, we have to sign a blood letter with the effect of contract, and the violator will be severely punished. How, do you agree?" The old man trembled and took out a yellow parchment scroll from the cabinet next to the hospital bed.

In this way, the back of the scroll is densely engraved with dark red lines like capillaries. Whenever light sweeps, it will emit light black smoke. At a glance, you can know that it belongs to that kind of evil thing.

Although he didn't know much about the magic of the world, Zhang Cheng still smelled a faint smell of sulfur.

There is no doubt that this is a demon contract. Both parties need to inject part of their souls into the contract, and then supervised by the powerful demon lord who made the contract. The defaulter will automatically become the target of the demon lord's hunting.

Unless the power of one of the signatories is stronger than that of the demon lord, sooner or later, they will exhaust their physical strength and energy in the endless pursuit, and their souls will be caught back to hell for almost eternal torture until they collapse completely.

No one is willing to bear such a price!

Feeling the terrible smell from the scroll, Zhang Cheng suddenly smiled and refused: "I'm sorry, Mr. congressman, I want to disappoint you. I won't sign this contract, never, because it is a shackle restricting freedom for me. Once I sign it, it means that I need to be with your family forever, and I can't pursue the knowledge and power I desire. Finally, thank you for your information, which makes me soberly aware of Brooklyn What is happening... "

With the last word falling, Zhang Cheng turned and left the intensive care unit.

But before he opened the door, miles suddenly shouted, "wait! Tell me your conditions! What can you do?"

"Me? I can only promise to do my best to ensure the safety of your family. If anyone dares to kill them, I will avenge them, tooth for tooth and eye for eye. No matter how many relatives the enemy kills, I will kill ten times the number of people the other party cares about as a reward, whether they are innocent, old people, women or children. What about it, Are you satisfied with this condition? "Zhang Cheng stopped and looked back with a ruthless smile.

"Revenge..." Miles bowed his head for a moment and nodded quickly. "Yes, I agree with your conditions, but one more thing is that if one day you master the ultimate power of alchemy - resurrecting the dead, you must resurrect me once."

"Resurrect the dead?!" Zhang Cheng jumped his eyebrows in surprise.

You know, when he was in the world of the song of ice and fire, he once spied on the "Resurrection ceremony" mastered by the lahlo priests.

However, it was later found that this so-called resurrection has extremely strict restrictions. Firstly, the body must be well preserved, especially the brain must not be damaged at all; secondly, the death time must not exceed three days, let alone rot and maggots, otherwise the ceremony will fail; finally, and most importantly, the soul of the dead must be near the body.

Strictly speaking, this is not the resurrection of the dead at all, but the reinjection of the soul into the body and the repair of damaged internal organs, blood vessels and muscles.

If the life of the resurrected object comes to an end and the physiological system can no longer operate, even if it lives, it will die instantly.

The real resurrection should be to reorganize the body as long as the soul and consciousness of the dead have not dissipated, whether the body exists or not.

Obviously, the resurrection caused by the old man is not such a low-quality fake, but a real rebirth and resurrection.

According to Zhang Cheng's current knowledge and power, it is far from enough to be exposed to such profound and complex magic.

"Yes! Resurrection of the dead! But don't worry, I understand how difficult it is to resurrect the dead, so I don't give you a specific deadline. You just promise to honor your promise when you can. Oh, by the way, this alchemy is the most precious and valuable thing I have made in my life. It can help you better complete the transformation between material and energy. Now that I'm dying, I'll give it to you as a gift. "

With these words, the old man reluctantly took off a silver ring from his finger. On the ring was inlaid with a purple gem that looked very insignificant at first glance but had a thrilling feeling when he looked carefully.

In particular, the dense and moving light spots inside seem to reveal some unknown mystery.

Zhang Cheng came to the window with his ring and held it high against the sun. The whole person instantly fell into the illusion of being in the deep universe. The light spots were like countless stars, emitting colorful brilliance under the sun.

No language or vocabulary can describe the shock in his heart at the moment!

Seeing the other party's reaction, miles showed a proud expression on his face, then spread out the scroll and said in a slightly tired voice, "young wizard, can we start signing a contract now?"

"Of course! It's my pleasure, Mr. congressman." Zhang Cheng put away the gold smelting stone and stroked his chest with one hand.

In this way, an unknown contract was signed between Columbia in New York and the intensive care unit of Cornell Presbyterian Hospital.

Except for the two parties and the supervisor, no fourth person knows the content
