Chapter 712: Communication

Lu Mi wasn't surprised at all that his wrist was grabbed by a wet hand.

He even let out a low laugh:

"Well done, only dirtying my wrist and not polluting my whole hand."

As he spoke, he pulled hard, feeling that the opposite side was unusually heavy.

Lu Mi's muscles bulged, and his body seemed to grow a little larger.

Finally, he saw the bloody human figure wearing a jacket being dragged out of the void mirror surface by him.

Blue-black mist emerged, seeping into the imitation parchment written with the evil contract.

This contract burned on its own, turning into multiple silver-white and black symbols and characters. They connected head to tail, forming a complex and illusory pattern, and suddenly passed through his clothes and fell into Lu Mi's chest and abdomen.

After dragging "Bloody Jack" out of the mirror, Lu Mi had completed the requirement proposed by the other party, and the contract was naturally reached!

At this time, "Bloody Jack," who had stood firm in front of the altar, raised his head.

His bloody, blurred face turned toward Lu Mi, and his hands raised the giant axe that was still dripping with blood high.

Lu Mi's two eyes had long been dyed iron-black, reflecting the figure of "Bloody Jack" with only two colors in his pupils.

One was bright red, covering every corner of "Bloody Jack's" body, filling every inch of space, and the other was pale white, only the size of a thumb, located in "Bloody Jack's" abdomen, surrounded by heavy bright red.

Like Father Cali, who hadn't turned into a wraith yet, there was only one weakness on his whole body, but it wasn't on the spiritual body, but hidden inside the body... This looks like it's composed of sticky blood. No matter how much damage it takes or how much it loses, as long as the core isn't injured, it won't be affected... It's a bit like the "Rose Bishop" of the "Secret Prayer" pathway, but it also has abilities related to mirrors... Lu Mi flashed a series of thoughts from a calm perspective while observing.

"Bloody Jack's" red spider-web-like eyes revealed a cruel and bloodthirsty expression, and the giant axe held high fell with a bang, hacking toward Lu Mi's body.

The deal is done, now I'm going to kill you!

Bang!

The giant axe failed to hit Lu Mi, smashing into the ground of the quarry cavity, smashing out a deep crack, and splashing broken stones and mud.

Lu Mi turned to the back of "Bloody Jack" with a very twisted posture and flexibility beyond human limits.

His arm swung briefly, and his right fist slammed out.

Scorching white flames surged instantly, wrapping his fist, winding around his forearm, and dragging out a bright tail.

Poof! Lu Mi's fist was like hitting a swamp, the deeper it went, the muddier and stickier it became.

Boom! He directly detonated the scorching white flames covering his fist, blowing open a passage.

His fist, along with his forearm, sank into "Bloody Jack's" cavity and stopped at the pale white color.

"Bloody Jack," who was about to twist his waist and back to sweep with the giant axe, froze, and his body quickly collapsed, turning into large pieces of solidified blood that fell to the ground.

These blood clots squirmed and reorganized into "Bloody Jack," but there was always a small blank space in the abdomen position that could never be filled.

Seeing this, a layer of scorching white flames ignited on Lu Mi's body, and he struck an all-out attack posture.

"Bloody Jack" instantly virtualized and hid back into the mirror on the altar.

Lu Mi laughed, gave up the pursuit, and ended the summoning ritual at a moderate pace.

His goal had been achieved; he had obtained the contract ability "Mirror Mark"!

He hadn't observed "Bloody Jack's" river of fate just to collect the other party's information, but to confirm whether this strange creature from the bloody world possessed divinity!

If "Bloody Jack" had no divinity, Lu Mi could complete some trades with the other party that were relatively dangerous to himself to bypass the requirement of 99 living sacrifices. If "Bloody Jack" had divinity, he would definitely suffer a backlash, but he was under the protection of the ritual at the time, with Mr. "Fool's" gray fog watching over him, so he wouldn't be affected too much.

It was precisely by mastering this situation that Lu Mi dared to agree to drag "Bloody Jack" out of the mirror, letting the other party no longer be restricted by the ritual.

Facts proved that as long as the contract object could communicate normally, the price needed to be paid when signing the contract could be significantly reduced.

Of course, the negative influence couldn't be avoided. While Lu Mi obtained "Mirror Mark," he would also be more likely to attract abnormal events and weird dangers related to mirrors.

Because the crack made by "Bloody Jack" spread to the "Wall of Spirituality," causing the latter to gradually collapse, Fu Lan Ka didn't let the opportunity go and asked curiously about what had just happened.

Lu Mi briefly talked about his "bargaining" with "Bloody Jack," and finally laughed:

"I worked hard to advance to Sequence 5 just so that this kind of evil creature could communicate with me calmly."

"You call that calm?" Fu Lan Ka couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She then sighed and said:

"If it weren't to deal with Moran Avigny, 'Mirror Mark' is definitely not a good choice. You can't use it at all in normal times, which is equivalent to wasting a contract quota."

This is because Lu Mi doesn't have other abilities related to mirrors. If he doesn't use a fixed entrance to the Mirror World, he can't pass through the mirror surface, let alone rely on the "Mirror Mark" to locate the target.

Lu Mi didn't care much:

"The sealed artifact corresponding to the 'Cisor' Beyonder characteristic might have the ability of 'Wraith Transformation.' 'Mirror Mark' can be used to cooperate with it."

"I hope so." Fu Lan Ka sighed, "This is also where 'Contracted Person' is inferior to 'Shepherd.' Once a contract is signed and an ability is obtained, it cannot be abandoned. Even if that ability is no longer useful, it still has to occupy a quota and bring corresponding negative influences."

Many contract abilities are acquired to meet the needs of a certain period. After that period, they are often useless, just like Lu Mi's "Nisse's Face." After he got the "Lie" earring, it was only occasionally used as an illusion during battle.

Lu Mi laughed:

"Who said it can't be abandoned?"

"Uh..." Fu Lan Ka was stunned for a moment.

Lu Mi's mouth corners turned up, revealing a brilliant smile:

"Kill the contract object, and the contract will naturally be lifted."

Fu Lan Ka and Jianna both secretly "hissed."

After a few seconds, Fu Lan Ka joked:

"Very good, keep this smile. This is the smile of a murderer, no, a 'Reaper'."

"No wonder you didn't kill 'Bloody Jack' just now, just scaring it away. It turns out you were afraid that the ability you just obtained would disappear in the blink of an eye." Jianna nodded thoughtfully, "Didn't you say you were prepared to contract three abilities this time? Do you have any ideas for the other two?"

"Yes." Lu Mi wasn't in a hurry to complete the second ritual and chatted, "One is an ability to improve defense or a substitute ability, and one is an ability to deal with undead creatures, but the latter needs to wait for a period of time before considering."

The former is aimed at the problem that his own physical body is not strong enough, and the latter is to make up for the weakness of lacking sufficient means to deal with undead creatures like wraiths.

"Substitute ability..." Fu Lan Ka said with a smile, "Just find a wraith or ghost formed after the death of a 'Witch' or 'Seer' middle-sequence Beyonder and sign a contract."

Lu Mi sneered:

"Do you think I haven't thought about it?"

"But except for a Witch wraith suspected to be a saint, there are no 'Witches' or 'Seers' related ones. The current me definitely wouldn't be able to bear the negative influence brought by a demigod contractor."

"Maybe you can bear it." Fu Lan Ka's eyes lit up, "Maybe the negative influence is just changing gender."

"What do you mean by just?" Lu Mi originally wanted to mock Fu Lan Ka's "Life is short, why not give it a try," but in front of Jianna, he held it back.

Fu Lan Ka had a sudden whim:

"Can you only sign contracts with Spirit Realm creatures or weird creatures?"

"Can you sign with humans? I can share the 'Mirror Substitute' ability with you."

This was the first time Lu Mi had thought about this question. He thought for a moment and said:

"The relevant arcane knowledge doesn't say it's impossible..."

"But forget it. The contract of fate might have some hidden pollution or influence."

"Also." Fu Lan Ka was still relatively rational.

While answering, she thought of another question:

If I really sign a contract with me, what negative influence will I bring to Lu Mi?

"Why does the ability to deal with undead creatures have to wait for a period of time?" Jianna didn't have as much of a jumping mind as Fu Lan Ka and could only care about more practical problems.

Lu Mi laughed:

"Because Spirit Realm creatures and weird creatures are all afraid of the purification of sunlight. Without similar abilities, I can only consider obtaining them from the death domain. There is a very good contract object for this."

"'Armored Shadow'?" Fu Lan Ka had a sudden realization, "You're afraid that giving him too much gold will make the subsequent communication uncontrollable?"

Lu Mi nodded and said:

"It's also waiting for the sealed artifact made from the 'Cisor' Beyonder characteristic. If there's anything related to 'Wraiths,' I won't even need to get a corresponding contract ability."

After chatting for a while, Lu Mi reconstructed the "Wall of Spirituality" and began the second summoning.

This time, he summoned:

"The strange creature wandering in the Upper Realm, the unimaginably sturdy one, the giant object that never stops."

After the incantation was chanted, what appeared at the mysterious door was a "mountain peak" piled up with layers of flesh.

It didn't know how high it was and couldn't even crawl out completely, squeezing the illusory mysterious door until it swayed.

After saying the "Secret Words of Fate," Lu Mi obtained the corresponding information.

This "Meat Mountain" did have the trait of improving his defense, which could make his body as hard as steel and as thick as rock, but the corresponding negative influence was that his movement speed was close to that of an ordinary turtle.

Lu Mi had to give up.

His alternative target was his own messenger, the "Penitent" Bai Yinfei.

According to the messenger information provided by "Magician," Bainfer has the ability to activate his own shadow and swap positions with his main body at a critical moment.
