I joined the group chat as Aizen in the Ninja World

Honesty?

After hearing what Mirror Master said, not only Ciri, but even the group members in the live broadcast room were a little nervous.

Curly Hair: Honest and trustworthy? Hey, which crosstalk school did this guy graduate from?

The illustrator of the book: This guy is not a talent, he is a genius! This devil is really good at bullshitting, and he must have a lot of tricks to deceive little fools.

Miss Beaver: It seems that all demons are like this?

Skirt-Lifting Maniac: Although I know he's definitely talking nonsense, he doesn't seem to have any intention of robbing me, right? So, can't the devil just plunder souls at will?

This is an actor: It depends on the type of devil. Different devils have different methods of operation. Low-level devils will be ignored even if they want to make a deal. In this case, if they want to increase their strength, they can only rob. High-level devils are different. They have a variety of methods. These include but are not limited to fraud, phishing, and traps. Those who are targeted by them are difficult to escape.

Skirt-lifting maniac: So that’s how it is.

Lazy Kitten: But what's the point? With all that power, why do these high-level demons insist on making deals with humans to devour their souls? OCD?

This is an actor: Not really. Consuming the soul after the transaction is a way of maximizing profit. You've all heard the saying, "The devil loves pure souls, right?" Why does it love pure souls? Is it because they taste great? No, that's pure nonsense. The devil doesn't actually love pure souls, but rather the pure souls it induces.

Skirt-lifting maniac: How do you say this?

This is an actor: once lured into a trade, the trader's soul becomes imbued with the aura of corruption. This aura, like a seed, takes root and sprouts deep within the soul. Once it breaks through the earth, it matures. Consuming this kind of soul, the devil's own power and even mastery of the laws increase. How could they not covet it?

Skirt-lifting maniac: So that’s how it is!

Miss Beaver: No wonder...

Angels of the Hidden Rain Village: Devouring souls actually increases one's understanding of the laws? These demons, in some ways, are truly blessed.

870 Refusal

The artist: Demons, this race's potential is no less than that of gods, right? Gods and demons are equal, so other races should be a level weaker, right?

Lazy Little Kitten: But it seems that there are some weaklings among the demons. Didn’t Brother An Ran say that even low-level demons have very weak powers?

Skull Island Handsome Guy: Come to think of it, it seems that those so-called gods are very powerful.

Hatchet Girl: Not necessarily. It depends on what kind of god it is. The island nation has eight million gods, but most of them are small monsters with weak magical powers.

The illustrator of the book: Don’t bring out the gods of the island country. Even if you do, you should use the ones that look down on all living beings on Takama-ga-hara.

Skirt-lifting maniac: The class division of the island nation's gods is too real.

As everyone in the group was talking, Ciri gradually recovered from her shock and took a breath. "Okay, you are honest and trustworthy. So, what do you want from me? If not the soul, then the Ancient Blood?"

The Ancient Blood sounds very high-end and grand, and it can be regarded as the standard of the savior, but the original Ciri really didn't want it. But now it's different. The person she likes is in another world and can't see him without the Ancient Blood.

"No, no, no. The blood of the Ainn'el might be unique and precious to other beings." Mirror Master sneered, his expression seeming to be filled with disdain. "But to me, it's nothing worth trading."

To put it bluntly, the ancient blood is the blood of mortal elves. How could a powerful demon like Mirror Master possibly be interested in it?

It has lived for tens of thousands of years, and except for the fallen souls which it has always regarded as treasures, other precious items that ordinary people consider to be valuable have always been worthless in its eyes.

"Then what do you want?" Ciri's tone became a little confused, and his brows were deeply furrowed.

"Don't worry, what I want is very simple." Master Mirror smiled and said, "That is something outside of your body, not even on your body."

"What?" Ciri's eyes widened in shock.

"Of course, it's not your family, relatives, or friends... They're just inanimate objects, not very important to you," Mirror Master continued, his lips curled. "I'm only willing to make this deal with you because of your future potential."

"So, what is it?" Ciri frowned even deeper.

"This is it." Mirror Master flipped his wrist, and a pendant appeared in his palm. "Looks familiar, doesn't it? Who gave it to you? If you were so careless as to lose it, it must not be very important."

Pendant?!

Ciri hadn't expected that the devil was interested in a pendant? Moreover, this thing was given to her by An Ran, who said it had some protective effect.

Logically speaking, a weak magician like An Ran couldn't create a very effective protective magic item. But why did this devil need this item so urgently?

Ciri sensed something was amiss and asked seriously, "This is a gift from my lover, how can it not be important? However, if this gift can be used to buy my and Yennefer's freedom, I don't think my lover would mind. But before that, I need to know why it has such value?"

Book artist:?

Skirt-lifting maniac:?

Scarlet Snake Fairy:?

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Dear, how should I understand this gift from my lover?

This is an actor: her own definition.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Oh? So you're saying you don't have that kind of feelings for Ciri? Is this just wishful thinking on her part?

This is an actor: even if it were interesting, she wouldn't know it.

Book Artist: Didn't you say you were raising a daughter? Why now...

Skirt-lifting maniac: Has fatherly love deteriorated?

Curly: Hey, what's going on in this group? Why am I seeing these incarnations of unspeakable things? Help, anyone! Deadpool, help me!

Foul-mouthed man in a suit: Goodbye, please take care of yourself.

The group was bustling with activity, but the scene in the live broadcast room was now silent.

Mirror Master seemed to be considering his decision, his expression full of amusement, while Ciri stared at him intently, not flinching at all because he was a demon.

"Okay, okay." Master Mirror sighed and said, "That's why sometimes I don't like smart people like you. Yes, the treasure your lover gave you is indeed very precious. In my eyes, it is even more precious than hundreds of pure souls!"

"why?"

"Do you know what gods are, little girl? So-called gods are actually extraordinary beings that have condensed divine nature. They are able to be so high and mighty only because they possess divine nature."

Ciri was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that a small pendant could involve so much spiritual energy.

"Gods aren't eternal either." Master Mirror smiled and said, "They too will die and fall. But compared to the fragility of gods, the divine nature within them is more eternal. Even if a god completely disappears, the divine nature will still exist. This divine nature can transform into various objects, sometimes an iron rod, sometimes a gem."

“So…” Ciri seemed to have thought of something, her eyes widened.

"Indeed, your lover is truly lucky!" Master Mirror exclaimed, his hand fumbling with the pendant's gemstone. "He stole this divine power, a gem I haven't seen in tens of thousands of years. And he even squandered it by making it into this low-grade protective item and giving it away."

"It's actually a godhead?!"

"That's right, it's the divine nature. The divine nature of a god contains unimaginable and terrifying power. If this power were to erupt, even I wouldn't dare to resist it head-on." Master Mirror shook his head and said, "But this kind of power is beyond human control. It will become your death warrant. Think about it this way, if you make this deal, you're actually saving your own life. I'm losing money, absolutely losing money!"

"Yes, it's a very good deal indeed." Ciri nodded in agreement, then suddenly changed the subject. "But I refuse!"

871 The Angry Mirror Master

"What did you say?" The smile on Master Mirror's face gradually disappeared, and his eyes gradually became deeper. "Madam, are you serious? I mean, are you sure you want to refuse?"

The Mirror Master was obviously a little angry and a little bit unbelievable at this moment. He really didn't understand why the other party chose to refuse the transaction.

After all, he didn't hide anything and told the truth.

The high-end energy crystallization of Godhead is indeed beyond human control. Unless some special method is used to cover up part of the divinity in the pendant crystal.

However, this method is not known to the people of this world, and the wizards of this world do not possess the power to use it. Therefore, Master Mirror truly believes that he is conscientious enough, a model of the good devil in the Demon Hunter Continent, always considering his clients' best interests.

of course.

As for the customer in front of him, if his soul becomes corrupted after doing business with him, then he is no longer within the scope of his customer service.

"Yes, Mr. Devil." Ciri nodded and said, "I am sure of what I am doing. Thank you for your help, but I don't need it."

"Really? No need?" Anger had already spread across Master Mirror's face, and his body surface was cracking like the surface of magma. As his body cracked, strands of scarlet magma could be clearly seen flowing out from the cracks. "How can you say you don't need it?"

His voice gradually became deeper, and he sounded like a deformed child with problems with his vocal cords.

Ciri had anticipated his transformation, but she hadn't anticipated it. After a few seconds of silence, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. "This pendant isn't mine. Although my lover gave it to me, perhaps he didn't realize it was a divine power."

"Since I've given it to you, it's yours!" Master Mirror said coldly.

"Logically, that's the case, but it goes against my principles." Ciri shook her head and said, "Unless he already knows that this is a precious divine power and still gives it to me, then it will truly be mine."

"You want me to send you to your lover?" Master Mirror understood the meaning of her words and said sarcastically, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Sending Ciri away from this world, to the desired destination. Mirror Master could do this, but he would never do it. He didn't know if the target world contained any figures or gods capable of opposing him, and going there rashly would be dangerous.

He is a very cautious devil and usually doesn't do things like gambling.

"If I can't make him confirm this fact, how can I make a deal with you?" Seeing that his plan failed, Ciri did not feel upset and his expression remained calm.

She has now discovered that although the devil in front of her is as powerful as a god, it seems to be restricted by something.

For example, if he wanted the pendant in front of him, he could only obtain it through trading, not robbing it. This showed that the other party seemed to be following certain rules, and Ciri could use these rules to deal with him.

"You're truly a very clever girl, but it's a shame you underestimated my abilities." Mirror Master now understood that the other party was trying to manipulate him. "A deal is simply my respect for you, not a necessary measure! Don't you understand that?"

Ciri raised an eyebrow and said, "Really?"

"It seems you still have illusions." Master Mirror sneered and said, "Do you really think that I have no choice but to trade with you? No, no, no, I can actually make a deal with him." He glanced at Viggo Fortz who was in a static state.

"With him?" Ciri shook her head, her expression unchanged. "You should know very well that it's impossible. He's an egoist and won't trust anyone except himself. Of course, if you're stupid enough to try, that's fine."

"Stupid? How dare you call me stupid?" Mirror Master seemed to have felt a pang of anger, his rage flaring up once again. Streams of crimson air surged out, filling the surrounding space. "No one dares to utter these two words in my presence. No one! You will be punished!"

magma!

Countless lava flows burst out and surged towards Ciri.

These magmas are not actually real magma, but the manifestation of Master Mirror's own spiritual power. However, although it is not real magma, if you are poured with it, the pain you feel will probably be more intense than real magma.

And most importantly, using this kind of mental attack does not violate the devil's trading principles. This is because it will not cause any physical or spiritual harm to the trader, but will only make her feel pain.

This was also the means of coercion prepared by Master Mirror. He believed that no one could endure such pain for a minute.

hiss.

The moment the magma invaded, Ciri felt a burning sensation in her soul. This pain was a thousand times, ten thousand times more intense than the pain caused by physical torture, but even so, she chose to grit her teeth and endure.

This burning pain first attacked her soul and brain, then gradually spread to her limbs and bones. It was as if the pain had been magnified countless times and then thrown into a pit of fire.

Even with Xili's endurance, it was difficult to bear it. Just when she was thinking about biting her tongue to commit suicide, she didn't expect that the pain would disappear again in an instant.

Ok?

Ciri looked up at Master Mirror with a puzzled expression. Was this guy having a change of heart? Or was he planning even more brutal torture?

In reality, the Mirror Master was also quite bewildered at the moment. He hadn't canceled the previous attack at all. Yet, it had failed, and his mental energy couldn't even muster a tiny spark.

"Are you confused?" A voice slowly sounded, saying calmly, "Why do you feel your spiritual power dissipating? You must be confused, right?"

872 Mirror Master's Terror

"Who?!" Mirror Master's eyes widened, his ugly face full of disbelief.

He was clearly still controlling time and space. No one in the entire area should be able to speak except himself and Ciri, but why was someone still speaking? Who was speaking, and how did he do it?

Master Mirror was filled with confusion, but then he suddenly came to his senses and looked down at the pendant in his hand.

"You finally found out! You're so slow." As he expected, the pendant made a sound.

"Actually, actually?!" Master Mirror was stunned for a moment, and quickly threw the pendant away.

The pendant did not fall to the ground as usual, but instead seemed to be lifted up by some special force, floating in the air.

"An Ran?!" At this time, Xili also recognized the owner of the voice in the pendant and called out in surprise.

"Well, that's right." The voice in the pendant sighed and said, "You must call out my name in times of crisis. This is the correct way to use this pendant."

Click.

The sound of shattering glass echoed, and a white, jade-like hand seemed to pierce space, appearing before the two. The arm stretched out, tearing apart the surrounding spatial barriers, and An Ran's figure gradually emerged from the gap.

"It's really you!" Ciri was surprised and happy and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ah, your current state is quite interesting." Seeing the other person tied up and sitting on a rocking chair with her own eyes, An Ran felt that this was much more real than what she saw in the video.

"Who are you? Who are you?" Master Mirror stared at the young man in front of him, his expression full of vigilance.

There is definitely something wrong with this guy in front of me, very wrong!

This abnormality was not only because of the way the other party appeared, but also because his devil's eye could not see the other party's origin and characteristics.

This completely overturned Master Mirror's cognition.

You must know that for any living being that appears in this world, regardless of whether it originates from the world before or after the celestial spheres converge, the Mirror Master can accurately see the other party's past and future, even the most powerful dragon in the world.

But for the young man in front of him, both the past and the future were blank in his eyes.
