Chapter 208
In the scorching crack, liquid flames flowed, burning the soil and rocks.
Fire, soil, rock quality, coke, white mist...
Gray, white, black, yellow, red, five colors rotating.
In this high-temperature steam that could scald people to death, a human figure slowly stood up.
Louis took a deep breath unscathed, his heart beat slightly, and the fire qi of the Five Qi Technique began to operate, and a wisp of fire-red magic power was born in his body.
Whether the air is scorching or not is not a big problem for the Wan Huan Yi, which has the ability to be immune to water and fire, and Louis, who has practiced the Five Qi Technique—Fire Qi to a certain extent.
At this moment, Louis's situation is not too good, and most of his magic power is consumed. Although with breathing, the fire qi heart is accelerating the recovery of magic power in this high-temperature environment, it cannot make up for too much in a short time.
Without magic power, the power of many techniques and magic treasures will be limited.
At this moment, it is probably the weakest moment for Louis after reaching the Pure Yin Realm.
However, the other party is not doing well either.
Whoosh!
A streak of blood-colored light flashed underground and came to Louis's hand, spinning around.
Louis's gaze was fixed on a hazy mist in a dark corner, "Malthus."
Under the Spiritual Eye vision, that small group of black mist was Malthus's remaining incarnation at this moment. The carrier inside was the head of a porcelain doll, which was exactly the head part of the Annabelle doll.
"Priest, let's make a deal. What is your wish?"
"I can satisfy them all. I think you also know our reputation as demons in the real world. As long as the contract is completed, the wish will definitely be realized."
"I can fulfill three wishes for you, as long as you take my carrier away from here."
This time Malthus was much more honest, actually willing to talk about conditions, and even offered a price of fulfilling three wishes.
Louis's lips curled up slightly, then disappeared quickly, looking at it expressionlessly, "Three wishes? Can you really fulfill wishes?"
As if sensing Louis's greed.
The mist, which was still gently pulsating and didn't know what it was doing, suddenly stopped moving.
"Yes!"
"Although you humans have many misunderstandings about us demons, it is true that we can fulfill wishes."
"You as a priest should have heard of it, right? In the past, humans specifically raised demons to help them fulfill wishes."
"Hmph!" Louis snorted coldly.
"Can a demon that can be raised really fulfill the wishes of someone stronger than it?"
"Hehe, we are different from you humans. You even need to learn from us to obtain something called magic, but this kind of thing is just a talent for us," the voice from the mist carried a hint of contempt.
"Our demon's ability far exceeds your human imagination, of course, it is true that not all demons can fulfill wishes."
"We great demons can fulfill your human wishes to a certain extent. Those that can be raised are actually relatively special strange demons."
"Alright, stop this nonsense. As long as you agree, whether it is becoming my subordinate, obtaining stronger power than now, or becoming a power holder or wealthy person in human society, it is all possible," as if impatient, Malthus's tone became a bit urgent.
"Power, authority, wealth, as long as you speak, I can help you do it."
Louis touched his chin, looking like he was considering it.
In fact, he was indeed considering it.
Strange demon?
A weak demon that can be raised? And can fulfill wishes?
Hiss, why does this description feel a bit familiar?
Joker demon—Jack-in-the-box?
That joker demon who was forcibly fused by humans, forcibly sealed by priests, and had no demon style but could fulfill wishes?
So, is that guy a strange demon?
Louis's heart moved, and at the same time, looking at the increasingly irritable mist, feeling the large amount of fire-red magic power produced by his heart in this high-temperature environment.
He smiled slightly.
"Regarding the condition you mentioned, let me think about it. Is there a contract?"
"Yes, we demons always carry contracts with us!"
The voice in the mist carried a hint of excitement. At the same time, the doll head inside floated up and down, and the mist became much more stable, no longer restless.
A group of black mist condensed, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a piece of parchment, with English written on it, and a quill pen beside it, flying toward Louis.
But at this time.
Bang!
The parchment exploded, and the mist spread.
Louis was not panicked at all. Almost at the same time, the fire-red magic power in his body surged out, turning into a fire-red giant hand, descending from the sky, and slapped the black mist carrying the doll head down.
Zzzzz—
The giant palm burned with flames, resisting the black mist.
But compared to the non-attribute magic power before, the fire-red magic power now was obviously much more powerful in terms of power. In just three seconds, it consumed the mist, and looking at itself, it consumed less than half of the other party.
Louis's Soul-Suppressing Ruler on his head separated the mist with hallucinogenic effects in front of him, and reached out slightly.
The fire-red giant hand transformed in an instant, turning into a chain, spinning the doll head into a ball, and then flew in front of Louis.
Looking at this head, Louis smiled.
"It seems I am still a step higher."
They were actually fighting wits and courage between them just now.
It was stalling for time to find a way to escape, and he was also stalling for time to catalyze fire-attribute magic power in a short time with the help of the high-temperature environment.
As for the subsequent contract and conversation, in fact, neither believed the other.
Everyone was just stalling.
But in the end, he was obviously a step higher.
The recovery speed of magic power was faster, and the means were sharper.
"Annabelle, no, Malthus, finally caught you."
Looking at this doll in his hand, Louis's palm moved slightly, and the chain tightened in an instant, completely sealing and covering it.
Demons like to lie the most, just like ghosts talking nonsense, completely untrustworthy. Listening to one more sentence is irresponsible to one's own safety.
When he goes back, he can listen however he wants, and interrogate however he wants.
The Wan Huan Yi flickered with white light, and the next moment, Louis flew into the sky at high speed.
Rushed out!
At this time.
Outside the crack.
The Warrens couldn't get close at all. The ground was too hot. If they got a little closer, the ground that hadn't settled down yet even had the risk of collapsing again. They didn't dare to get close at all!
"What should we do?" Lorraine asked. She didn't dare to use soul perception to look anymore.
So she knew nothing about the situation below. If that mysterious person won, it might be okay, but once the demon won, they must be able to take measures!
Ed shook his head. He had different thoughts from Lorraine.
They couldn't get in now, so he had to consider from other aspects, and Ed thought of another thing.
Just now, they came here because they were chasing the Weeping Woman, but they thought they had already arrived, so what about the Weeping Woman from earlier?
"This thing is not right."
"Lorraine, let's retreat. We can't do anything about this now. Prepare to report to the Church, and also..."
Before he finished speaking.
A figure flashed by.
The fire-red figure rushed straight into the sky.
Accompanied by the distortion and deformation of flames.
Mist, red clouds, flames.
Faintly, the Warrens even felt that this figure in front of them was some kind of existence related to God!
Slap.
Louis landed.
Looking at the Warrens not far away, he raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect them to come too. Didn't they say they were on the other side?
Forget it, no need to meet.
Louis was about to leave, but the next second.
"Wait!"
Ed shouted.
At the same time, Louis also thought of something and stopped his body.
Louis turned back. The Wan Huan Yi had already changed styles. Now he was completely covered under the hood, making it difficult for people to see clearly.
Ed in front was stunned. He didn't expect that he just shouted and the other party really stopped.
He reacted immediately and said, "Sir, can you talk to us? Everything you caused now, this..."
"I am only responsible for subduing the demon, the rest, it's none of my business," Louis interrupted in a hoarse voice.
Ed raised his eyebrows, "I don't know who you are?"
"You don't need to know."
"..."
"Okay, sir, you're right, I have no right to ask," Ed said helplessly. After all, he is a three-and-a-half person who is half-church, half-official, and half-civilian. Many times he is not qualified to meddle in other people's business.
"But can I ask if you subdued that demon?"
"Of course, it's not my opponent."
Louis said so.
Hearing this, Ed nodded. This is good, it can barely be considered good news.
"You asked me a question, now, it's my turn to ask you," Louis suddenly said.
?
Ed was stunned, it seemed he didn't expect this, but he still reacted, "Okay, this is very reasonable, please ask."
"What is a strange demon?"
Louis asked this question.
He was really curious whether the Joker demon Jack-in-the-box was a strange demon.
Strange demon?
Ed Warren frowned slightly and thought carefully. He had read many books on supernatural aspects, including the Church, local folk legends, etc., and could be said to be knowledgeable, in their couple combination.
He had always played the role of a knowledge base. Now, this mysterious person's question successfully touched his brain, but he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen or heard this vocabulary somewhere.
Hiss.
Think, think carefully.
And Lorraine on the side was always watching Louis. Louis raised his head slightly, and the Wan Huan Yi was restless.
The one who tried to peep at Louis just now was Lorraine. Now that she felt Lorraine's existence, the Wan Huan Yi reacted instinctively.
Lorraine's perception was warning, and she lowered her head quickly.
It's like this when you are not from an orthodox background in the supernatural side.
Or rather, it's like this in this land without complete inheritance.
If placed in a place with proper inheritance, they would warn disciples not to peep at others casually, as this is easy to attract the other party's attention, and even lead to backlash and even disaster!
But Lorraine, who came from a wild background, obviously didn't understand this.
At this time.
A voice sounded.
"Ed?"
