Black Book

Chapter 457: Master, my favor will be rewarded with interest

"It is life, beauty, strength, health, youth, wealth, power, pleasure..."

Zhu Haomiao murmured softly while playing with the [Greed Coin] casually. The ethereal voice seemed to come from outside the sky, and it seemed to come directly from the bottom of his heart.

“It is the most essential desire of all things.”

"It is also the root of all corruption..."

As he spoke, Zhu Haomiao gently handed the [Greed Coin] in his hand to Abe Waka.

"Take it. When you are in danger, you can use it to 'borrow' strength from me."

Hearing this, Abe Waka's face, which was originally full of resistance, was slightly stunned, and a struggle and confusion appeared between her brows. After a long struggle between her conscience and her mind, she made up her mind and carefully took the gold coin from the black-clothed boy.

Seeing that she was not playing with the coins with an obsessed look on her face, but was cautiously wrapping the gold coins with a piece of talisman paper, as if to seal some ghost, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but pursed his lips with laughter.

"Don't be afraid, as long as you have a strong mind, it won't shake you..."

"Besides, given our relationship, I won't charge you any 'interest', so you don't have to worry about being eroded or polluted."

However, after hearing this, Abe Waka looked at the piece of "talisman paper" in his hand with an indescribable look.

"Will it be corroded and contaminated if used?!"

"Of course, everything has a price. I am kind-hearted, so I lend money to others to help them through their hard times. They only need to pay a little bit of interest, which is very reasonable!"

"So many people want to borrow it but they can't get it!"

Zhu Haomiao looked at Abe Waka with a half-smile, his eyes full of evil amusement.

"So, don't be ungrateful!"

"Why don't you thank me, Master?"

Abe Waka: "…………"

Obviously sensing the teasing in the boy's words, Abe Waka was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and nodded along with his joke.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Patting Abe Waka's head jokingly, Zhu Haomiao looked out the window. From an angle that the girl couldn't see, a cold light flashed in the depths of his dark pupils.

Restrain [Greed], [Tao Heart] +1
Just now, for a moment, he really wanted to pollute and corrode Abe and Waka, and transform him into a puppet like Wilson.

In that case, the benefits would be countless. His will and power could descend upon her body at any time, and the curse in her hand would no longer be able to restrain her...

When Abe and Kazuka become an extension of his body and soul, it will be impossible for others to target the Master's weakness...

The only price is to obliterate her self...

Tilting his head slightly, Zhu Haomiao glanced at the girl's facial features and sighed imperceptibly.

"Alas... I am too kind!"

Hearing the incoherent sigh and sensing the boy's subtle emotions, Abe Waka looked at him strangely.

"what happened again?"

"It's nothing. Master, my kindness will be compounded with interest. You will never be able to repay it in your lifetime!"

"???"

Ignoring Abe Waka's silly expression, Zhu Haomiao looked away and focused his attention back on himself.

[God]: 41→73 (28) ↑
【Min】：113→145【88】↑
[Strength]: 21 → 53 [88] ↑
【Essence】：10→42（28）↑
[Qi]: 33 → 55 (28) ↑
【Body】：37→69【88】↑
The nutrients donated by Amon before were not fully digested, and new supplies were stuffed in.

Alas... I can't digest it all. I can't digest it all at all...

Shaking his head, Zhu Haomiao's mind moved, and dots of golden light flickered in his pupils, like a surging golden waterfall.

[Taixu Refining Spirit and True Enlightenment]: LV.0→LV.6 (Perfect)
[Qi] +48
[God] +28
[Agility] +40 (20×200%) I previously used the [Jade Disc of Creation] and the authority of [Pride] to complete this skill, but I didn't have the gold coins to cash it out.

Now that I finally have money...

Rubbing his chin with satisfaction, Zhu Haomiao felt that the remaining [Greed Coins] could be used to improve one more skill to perfection, and he couldn't help but look at his chest with anticipation.

The center of the [Dragon Emblem] under the suit was emitting a spiritual light that was invisible to others. That was the mysterious fluctuation generated when the [Jade Disc of Creation] absorbed the fragments of the replication law.

When I come back from rest, the next technique should be almost complete...

Just as Zhu Haomiao was thinking about future plans, the car he was driving into a quaint town with strict security. There was even a castle tower standing in the center of the city.

Zhu Haomiao: “…………”

Although small, it has all the necessary facilities. Watching the car passing through the mini moat and entering the "city", Zhu Haomiao felt as if he had passed through some invisible barrier and stepped into another world.

The air was filled with rich magical energy. They were active and docile, as if they could be controlled with just a thought to release destructive spells.

"This is the Onmyoji. It is connected to the ground nodes underground, and is surrounded by thirty-six national-level magic circles on the outside, which are enough to support the barrier covering the entire city of Tokyo..."

After getting out of the car, Abe Waka whispered an introduction to Zhu Haomiao, and suddenly saw another black car slowly approaching in the distance.

Soon, the car stopped and two familiar figures got out. The boy among them saw Abe and the singer with tears in his eyes and rushed up excitedly.

"Waka, are you okay? I heard the entire Abe residence was blown up!"

"nothing and you?"

"I'm fine, I just broke one of my arms, and Amaterasu has almost healed it for me."

…………

Watching the two people's excited conversation, Zhu Haomiao quietly walked to the side of Amaterasu.

"Were you attacked too?"

"Well, what a bunch of daring ants."

"It should be safe here, how about we go outside and talk?"

"can."

Leaving Abe Waka and Yazaki Yu in the "castle" of the Onmyoji, Zhu Haomiao and the other person crossed the mini moat and walked slowly to the outside of the city.

"Did you notice that?"

"what?"

Looking at the night sky that had returned to silence, Zhu Haomiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

"There is no trace of Amon."

After hesitating for a moment, Amaterasu nodded slowly.

"Indeed, I have never sensed His presence either."

At this moment, a light whisper sounded in the ears of the two.

“And Cain, He did not appear either.”

Looking back, I saw a beautiful blonde girl standing not far away. Although she was in darkness, she was emitting a warm and soft pure white holy light, which was inexplicably beautiful and holy.

Gabriel nodded slightly to the two of them, then looked up at the night sky in confusion and murmured softly.

"On the contrary, the divinity of Thor and Athena exploded for a moment, but it quickly subsided."

"There are seven [Crowns]... Why weren't they attacked? Aren't they [Crowns]?"
