The Great Arcanist Who Traveled Through the World of American Variety Shows.
Chapter 667: The Devil’s Contract? No, This Is Hope!
Chapter 667: The Devil’s Contract? No, This Is Hope!
Richard looked at the scene in front of him. The picture formed by the water mirror technique showed him exactly what happened not long ago.
“This Axe of Vengeance has actually grown to this point.” Richard said with a smile.
Originally, the Axe of Vengeance was just a high-level weapon, and it was still a long way from becoming a legendary weapon. However, this axe has already become a legendary weapon.
It can be said that during this period of time, the Axe of Vengeance has not wasted a single day. Each host has taken the Axe of Vengeance to seek revenge and to avenge grievances without wasting a single day.
I can only say that America is really far ahead in terms of being a bad person. Every day, a large number of people meet the summoning requirements of the Axe of Vengeance.
The conditions for summoning the Axe of Vengeance are very simple. First, you must be within the range that the Axe of Vengeance can respond to. Second, you must have enough anger and hatred.
You also need to have a strong enough fire of revenge to attract the Axe of Vengeance. Of course, the Axe of Vengeance is also a charity, and if you want to use the power of the Axe of Vengeance, you also need to pay a price. The price is the soul.
After its death, the Axe of Vengeance will absorb its soul to strengthen itself.
Therefore, summoning the Axe of Vengeance is an opportunity for revenge, but it also means that its life is about to come to an end.
But Richard didn’t expect that there would be so many people who wanted revenge in America. Those who were marked by the Axe of Vengeance began to line up.
Seeing so many people wanting revenge, as a caring citizen, Richard would naturally help. One axe of revenge was not enough, so he made something else.
The Sword of Vengeance, the Spear of Vengeance, the Badge of Vengeance, etc., these are treasures to others, but to Richard, these things are just gadgets.
Moreover, these gadgets can collect soul power and eventually condense into soul crystals. Why not?
Richard once looked through the most popular comics in America, and the protagonists were superheroes. What does this mean? The people of America need superheroes. In other words, they hope to become superheroes and take revenge themselves.
Richard decided to help the American people fulfill these simple wishes.
However, the way to satisfy it is slightly different. As for whether it will cause any harm to the world, Li Jue feels that this is completely clearing away the rotten flesh, tearing through the darkness, and bringing more light to the world.
Compared to those criminals, Richard believed that cleaning up the scum in the upper class of the world would be more conducive to the development of society. After all, how many people can a murderer kill? But the damage caused by a scum in the upper class would affect the entire society.
Fremont County, Colorado, America, is one of the least developed areas in America. It has a good natural environment and is close to the Rocky Mountains. However, it is most famous for the ADX Florence Prison, which is known as the highest-level heavy prison in America.
All those imprisoned here are serious criminals, and being locked up here basically means that they will never be able to get out.
The prisoners in this prison include terrorists, drug lords, gang leaders and even members of al-Qaeda. It can be said that none of them is not a ruthless character.
But in this prison, in a special room, there is a former FBI agent. This unlucky guy was originally a promising agent who was about to become a department head, but he got a secret document from a terrorist during a mission.
The content of the document is very simple. It contains audio and video materials of some politicians in the United States secretly providing donations, logistical supplies and even weapons to these terrorists.
After seeing the information, Edwin, knowing that there was a serious problem, immediately made a copy of the information, kept it secretly, and then prepared to hand it in.
In his opinion, this information is a hot potato, but it is also his opportunity. He wants to use this information to get a higher position.
But he was thinking too simply. He thought he could get a higher position, but in fact, for those big shots, only the dead can keep secrets.
So this unlucky guy was soon caught. Not only was he caught, but his wife also died in a car accident after he was imprisoned, and his daughter was sold to an unknown place by some human trafficking organization.
As for his youngest son, he was sent to a children’s welfare home, which was sponsored by the church.
All this was for the information he had hidden in his hands.
As the highest level heavy prison, it has a strict management system, but there is still all kinds of violence here, and in many cases, this is intentional by the prison guards.
Of course, the prison guards won’t say it on purpose. They just need to relax a little and take a few minutes.
Although almost everyone in this prison is held in solitary confinement and has video surveillance, there is still time for prisoners to exercise.
During this period, the target of these criminals was very simple, that is, the former leader of the FBI field team.
In order to force him to hand over the hidden information, those people did a lot of things to him. He has been imprisoned in this prison for two years, during which time he has been beaten up many times by the gangsters here.
But something seems different this time.
Those people obviously have lost their patience. Since he won’t hand over the information, let him take it to the grave with him!
“Razor, how long do you think that guy can last this time?”
A sturdy criminal said this with a smile on his face, cigarette in his mouth, while the prison guard next to him turned a blind eye to it.
“Do you want to make a bet?” the red-haired burly man next to him glanced at him and asked.
“Sure, I’ll bet for three minutes that those people from Calder are very skilled at doing this kind of thing.”
“I’ll bet for five minutes. That guy is not a good person. If you lose, remember to change it into leaves for me!” The bald strong man took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
The sturdy man smiled and smoked a cigarette, then went to other criminals to question them.
Soon, the time for exercise was about to end, and the other side of the heavy criminals began to be taken out for exercise. The prisoners who were eating dinner all looked at the protagonist of today.
Edwin walked out of the passage in silence. Although he had been imprisoned for two years, this man still looked very strong. The scars on his face made him look very fierce and his eyes were cold.
Even though his hands were cuffed with electronic handcuffs, he still made people feel palpitations. It was as if he was not a human being, but a tiger in human skin.
After seeing this man, the originally noisy restaurant immediately became quiet, and the prisoners who were chatting and laughing also lowered their eyes slightly. These people are the ones who understand danger the most, and they can quickly distinguish who is a tough guy and who is a coward.
“It looks like there will be an exciting game this time!” The red-haired burly man seemed to have thought of something and said with some gloating.
“It’s been a while since this prison had any exciting shows. It’s been so boring for so long!”
Several strong men realized that this incident was not a small matter. They basically could not leave the prison in their lifetime. Now this kind of thing was one of their few pleasures. As expected, the restaurant soon became lively. A group of gangsters who had been prepared actually fought with the strong man and both sides were injured.
After the handcuffs were removed, the FBI field team leader actually fought a dozen gangsters on his own, both sides were injured. Although he was beaten black and blue, the dozen people who fought against him were not much better.
The many prisoners who were watching the fun cheered loudly.
For a moment, the scene made people think that this was not a prison, but a WWE fighting competition in America.
Seeing this situation and realizing that things did not achieve the results they wanted, the prison guards stepped forward, handcuffed Edwin again, and punched him a few times.
Having failed to complete their employer’s task this time, they would certainly be punished, but they could not kill the prisoner directly. They could only secretly hit him a few times to vent their anger, and then put the prisoner in prison again.
Returning to the room again, Edwin lay on the bed to rest, but while he was recuperating, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be one more person in the room.
Edwin suddenly opened his eyes and looked.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the room which was only a dozen square meters. This figure looked like an old man, wearing a hand-sewn top-grade suit, an old-fashioned top hat, and holding a civilized staff inlaid with a huge gem.
With his hair neatly combed and a mysterious smile on his face, he looked like an old gentleman going to a banquet. But such a strange man suddenly appeared in the top prison in America.
“Who are you and why are you here?” Edwin looked at the old man warily.
The old man smiled slightly, then took off his hat and said, “It doesn’t matter who I am, but you can call me Mephisto.”
“I am here today because you need me!”
“Mephisto?” Edwin was slightly stunned. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere before, but it didn’t come to his mind for a while.
“How come I don’t know I need you?” Edwin said in a deep voice.
“It is your inner anger and desire that attracted me here!” Mephisto said with a smile.
“The anger and desire in my heart?” Hearing this, Edwin was slightly stunned, and then his memories came to him like a tide, and he suddenly remembered who the person in front of him was.
He once dealt with an extraordinary incident in the FBI. It happened several years ago in a town. Most of the town was destroyed, and a huge deep pit formed in the middle. At first, they all thought that this place was attacked by nuclear weapons.
But after measurement, the radiation values here are normal.
And the name Mephisto appeared in the file archives.
And there is a label behind it – Lord of Hell.
“Are you the Lord of Hell!?” Edwin looked at the old man in shock.
“That’s indeed my profession!” Mephitos said with a smile.
“Well, now that you know my identity and occupation, then the next step will be much easier. Do you want to gain powerful strength? Do you want to leave here? Do you want to take revenge on your former enemies?”
“I want to!” Edwin said without hesitation.
Hearing Edwin’s words, Murphy laughed immediately.
“Since you want it, I can give you all of these!” Mephitus lightly tapped his fingers, a flash of light appeared, and suddenly a parchment scroll appeared in his hand.
“As long as you sign your name on this parchment scroll, you will get everything you want!”
“What is this?!!” Seeing the strange scene in front of him, Edwin’s pupils shrank slightly and his heart paused.
“A very fair contract!”
“Brave, upright, and unyielding. People like you are rare. If you are willing to sign this contract, you will have power beyond your imagination!”
“Nothing here can stop you anymore, and you can use your power to seek revenge and kill those enemies!”
“How about this contract? Is it fair?”
“Or if you think these are not enough, you can also add everything else, freedom, wealth, beauty, power, etc. How about that?”
“What do I need to pay?” Edwin asked cautiously.
As a Christian, he had heard stories since he was a child that the devil would tempt you in various ways, and if you signed a contract with them, you would fall into their trap and not only would you not get what they promised, but you would also lose your soul.
“It’s simple!” Mephisto smiled and said, “Your soul!”
“Sorry, I will not sell my soul, and I will not sign such a contract!” After hearing Mephisto’s answer, Edwin shook his head firmly.
“Haha, really?” The old man smiled slightly, disdaining Edwin’s insistence, and said confidently: “You will promise me!”
The old man did not continue to persuade him, but left the parchment to him, and then disappeared in an instant.
Seeing the old man disappear, Edwin breathed a sigh of relief. But the parchment scroll next to him did not move. But just when he thought that as long as he did not move the scroll, everything would be fine, the parchment scroll suddenly disappeared, and the next second he felt something more on his body.
The parchment scroll appeared on him.
Next, no matter what method he used, he could not lose the parchment scroll. No matter how he destroyed it, the parchment scroll would reappear in front of him in the next second.
Finally it was daybreak, and today was his visiting period. His good friend would come to see him today and tell him the news about his son. After he was imprisoned, he handed his youngest son over to the care of his best friend.
This is also his only hope to hold on until now.
