A god-level prop master in the Marvel universe
【033】Reversal, kid.
Luo Bai first walked to the sofa in the villa and sat down, then smiled and said, "I know what you're interested in, my soul, right?"
Mephisto's interest was piqued when the word "soul" was mentioned.
With his signature devilish smile, Mephisto asked, "Have you figured it out?"
Luo Bai shrugged and replied with feigned helplessness, "I didn't want this either, but you've got your eye on Tony. Last night's car accident was related to you, wasn't it?"
"Obadiah always wanted to kill Tony, and even without me, he would have had other plans."
While Mephisto did not give a clear answer, he implicitly admitted that he had played a role in the car accident.
Seeing that he admitted it, Luo Bai went along with him and said, "You know that my only friend in this world is Tony, so you used him to threaten me."
Mephisto shook his head, arguing, "As long as you're strong enough, nothing in this world can threaten you. Didn't you save Tony yesterday? You did a great job, Robb."
"But I can't guarantee that I can save him every time."
That's just because you're not strong enough.
As he spoke, Mephisto took out the contract and, using his teleportation ability, suddenly appeared beside Luo Bai.
He acted like an insurance salesman, enthusiastically recommending to Luo Bai: "Actually, you won't lose out at all by signing a contract with me. You only need to offer up your soul to gain power that ordinary people can't obtain even with all their might."
"Look at those monks who have been practicing diligently. How much they yearn for power, but only you have met me."
"Only I am willing to bestow this boundless power upon you."
When Mephisto said this, it was as if 3D surround sound was playing in Luo Bai's ears.
These were the devil's whispers, but fortunately, Luo Bai had a magic scroll, so he was not tempted at all and remained calm and undisturbed.
Mephisto seemed to sense the power of the scroll as well, and reached out his hand toward the scroll.
Noticing his subtle movements, Luo Bai took a step back and changed the subject: "Since you want my soul so much, why don't we make a deal?"
Mephisto withdrew his hand, resuming his arrogant demeanor, and asked, "What are the conditions?"
"You have granted me power, and now I am considering the matter of the soul," Luo Bai said.
"No problem!~~~"
Upon hearing that Luo Bai agreed to sign the contract, Mephisto agreed without hesitation.
As if afraid that Luo Bai would change his mind, he quickly handed over the contract and said, "Alright, you can sign it now."
Luo Bai didn't take it, but said, "Open it, I need to see what you wrote."
"You don't trust me?"
"It's always good to be on the safe side."
"All right."
Mephisto raised his chin slightly and slowly opened the contract in his hand.
Luo Bai quickly saw the contents of the contract.
The contract is titled "Soul Rights Transfer and Multi-Dimensional Service Agreement".
The content reads:
Mephisto, the sole sovereign of the Hell Dimension, promised to grant Lobai his power. In exchange, Mephisto would permanently gain control over Lobai's soul.
Validity conditions: Signed with real name, blood or magic mark.
It also comes with Mephisto's signature, a magical mark with a "devilish smile".
"How is it? Does it perfectly meet your requirements?" Mephisto asked.
Luo Bai nodded and accepted the contract.
As soon as he received it, Mephisto couldn't wait to use his ability to make Luo Bai drip his blood onto the contract.
Kolo Bai possessed the Ancient One's magic scroll, but his clone's power was limited on Earth, so he failed.
Somewhat annoyed, Mephisto said impatiently, "Sign it now that you've finished reading."
Luo Bai didn't answer, but instead used magic to cut his finger.
As he cut his finger, Luo Bai took out a counter-effect arrow from the fourth-dimensional space and poked the contract.
After poking, Luo Bai quickly put the item away and dripped his blood onto the contract.
After doing all this, Luo Bai handed the contract to Mephisto.
Seeing Luo Bai's bloodstain on the contract, Mephisto revealed a triumphant smile.
"Your choice is absolutely correct, welcome to Hell~~~" Mephisto said, raising his hand.
He seemed to want to take Luo Bai's soul away, but he found that he couldn't do it at all.
Only then did Mephisto realize that something was wrong.
"Why didn't it work? You clearly signed the contract!!!" Mephisto asked in confusion, seemingly bewildered.
But Luo Bai knew that his plan had worked.
……
……
In fact, Luo Bai's plan was very simple.
Since the instruction manual states that being hit by this arrow will inevitably have the opposite effect, then the contract is naturally included as well.
A contract is just a document and has no function on its own. Its purpose is to define the rights and obligations of both parties. Therefore, the only thing that can have a negative effect is the effect produced by the contract.
The only thing Luo Bai was unsure about was how the item would reverse the contract's effect.
However, based on the contents of the contract, there are several possibilities.
One option is to directly reverse the relationship between the two, so that Luo Bai gives Mephisto power, and then Luo Bai permanently obtains Mephisto's soul.
Another possibility is a reversed result.
Mephisto cannot or will not grant Lobe power, nor can he ever gain control of Lobe's soul.
In short, the treaty that was originally unfavorable to Luo Bai will definitely become favorable after the reversal.
If the first scenario directly reverses the relationship between the two, then Luo Bai should suddenly gain tremendous power after the contract is signed.
After all, being able to control Mephisto's soul is tantamount to having control over the Hell dimension.
However, Luo Bai felt no power at all, and Mephisto was unable to take his soul, so Luo Bai concluded that the contract's outcome had been reversed.
Mephisto cannot or should not grant Lobe power, and most importantly, he will forever lose control of Lobe's soul.
Having figured this out, Luo Bai felt much more at ease.
With his hands behind his back, Luo Bai became defiant: "I've already signed the contract, but it seems you can't take my soul with you."
At this moment, Mephisto also realized that something was wrong.
"What did you do?" Mephisto glared at Luo Bai and asked.
Luo Bai didn't answer, he just smiled.
Mephisto, unconvinced, tried again, but the result was the same.
The contract suddenly stopped working?
What's going on?
and many more.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Mephisto suddenly laughed, "It seems you've tampered with it. But do you really think you can outsmart me? If you look closely, you'll find a line of small print on the contract."
As Mephisto spoke, he tossed the contract to Luo Bai.
Luo Bai opened it and, sure enough, saw a line of small text written at the very bottom of the contract.
The smaller print reads: "Mephisto reserves the right to the final interpretation of this contract."
Luo Bai hadn't really noticed this line of text before, since it was written in such a small size.
But after noticing this, Luo Bai smiled.
In other words, the outcome has been reversed, and the final interpretation right is in Luo Bai's hands?
That's a great relationship.
"As expected of you, Mephisto. Too bad, have you ever heard of a reversal?"
