Chapter 1821

The red butterfly flew out of the fog, the butterfly group gathered again by the bonfire that illuminated the black fog, and Xia De walked out of the phantom of the butterfly group.

It's just that there was no look of expectation on his face. Miss Higgins the witch and Mrs. Miles' small camp were still by the bonfire, and the soul of the girl solidified in the air was still in the same place, but the witch and the elderly old man were missing.

"What's going on?"

He searched carefully and found a note pressed under a stone by the bonfire. This should be a message from Miss Higgins, telling Xia De that they were going to buy a very important item, and if Xia De came, he didn't need to look for them.

"But I only have 50 minutes."

He thought in his heart, turned around, and said to the bonfire: "Come out, I know you are watching me."

The bonfire that was originally burning quietly instantly shot up to a height of at least ten meters. Densely packed coins of various kinds flew out from the flames, and in the clattering sound, they formed that demon face in the fire. The strange flames surged in the gaps between the coins. When the face opened its mouth, Xia De not only smelled sulfur but even felt the high temperature licking his eyebrows. "Invited guest, you have finally returned." (Demon language)

Traces of fire rippled on the surface of the coins. Although it was indeed in the shape of a human face, it looked even more disgusting than those non-human guys. Compared with the demon in front of him, Xia De still appreciated the stone mirror demon - Gede, a demon who appeared in a true human form:

"Please tell me, how did you cheat." "I choose the moon."

Under our gaze, the girl panicked and flipped the coin in her hand. After it fell into her palm, he also showed the result immediately.

The side facing up was the moon. "Gluttony, I want 3 units!"

"I saved you, not because I think you are pitiful, but because as a human being, I cannot watch a soul fall into the hands of a demon. Now leave, you don't need to thank me."

"Give the coin back to me."

"I'll bet with you. If I win, the girl is mine, and you tell me where the witch and the old man who left went. If I lose, I don't want the girl's soul."

"What about the witch and that old man?"

"1 unit is fine, but we are not betting on cards. Since you know sin so well, I absolutely cannot trust you, just as a demon would not trust its own kind. I only give you one chance. We bet on coins. If you don't agree, the deal is off."

"Do you want to check? If you don't check, we'll start now."

There was no expression on the demon's face. The stiff distribution of the features made it look even more terrifying than when it was laughing wildly:

"I understand, you are cheating."

"Do I need to remind you? This soul was originally mine; he sold it to me voluntarily. The reason I didn't take it away now is because you proposed a deal. This was originally my thing. If you lose, why is the price just returning my thing to me?"

"That's fine, we'll start now, but it's not you and me flipping the coin. To be fair, I'll do it."

The huge face looked at the coin in the girl's hand, hesitated for a moment, and did not question it:

"This is a currency I have never seen, but it looks quite ancient. Is it a product of the Third Era?"

According to the information Xia De obtained from the 【Sin Mansion】, sin can be divided into "flaw," "ordinary," "perfect," and "precious." Last autumn, Xia De only had 【Gluttony】 reach the precious level. And the condition given by the owner of the 【Sin Mansion】 at that time to allow Xia De to leave was for Xia De to hand over his 3 units of 【Gluttony】.

And except for Xia De himself, the only "precious" level sin owner he had come into contact with was the thief's skull in the art gallery of the "Eternal Night City." The other party was permanently sealed in the art gallery because he tried to steal in the Eternal Night City, and even tried to trick Xia De into taking it out.

The fire licked the inside and outside of the coin giant face, and it also proposed conditions:

The demon looked at him, and the fire in the gaps of the coins had turned crimson:

He immediately asked back:

"Oh, guest, guest, this is a place for fair trade. Without coins, don't try to get any information."

In fact, Xia De had prepared other plans to make the other party take the initiative to propose coins. He didn't expect the other party to cooperate with him so much:

"Do you guess the sun side or the moon side? Or should I choose?"

"I just want to save him, not let you blackmail me. At most 1 unit. If you win, I will give you 1 unit of precious 【Gluttony】. And, I will decide what to bet on. We bet on cards."

"That's not important."

The sentence composed of demon language made Xia De desperately suppress the smile on his face. He stared at the eyes with flames in the cracks, and it took a while before he said:

Xia De, who was twisting the coin, was not surprised:

Xia De was not surprised by this result. Since the doctor said there was no problem, then there was no problem. The demon giant face in the fire did not give any opinion immediately. On the face that originally had a wild expression, a thoughtful look appeared. The girl holding the coin stood there trembling, not knowing what to do at this time.

"It's 48 coins. I gave you two last time... well, I didn't bring enough coins, but I don't want to exchange my own existence with you. I'm not that generous. How about this, I have a good idea."

In order to appear real, Xia De immediately rejected the other party's proposal. Besides, the asking price itself was unreasonable:

He stepped into the beach illuminated by the dark moon, and the crack closed.

A pure soul is more easily corrupted in a strange place like the "White Fog Camp" than a living person protected by a body. Even if the bonfire can protect him, he is standing in front of a real ancient evil spirit at this moment.

"When I left last time, didn't I give you a deposit to buy this soul?"

"You choose."

"However, betting a game is a very interesting proposal. If you win, the soul is yours, and I will tell you where they went. If I win, I want your sin."

The girl still pursed her lips and bowed to Xia De, but before crossing the crack, he still left the last words trembling:

Xia De said softly in his heart. This was an expected situation, but he remained calm on the surface:

"Just as you don't trust me, why do you think I can trust you? I have no problem with the bet, but we still bet on cards. I can let you check my deck."

The demon laughed in the fire:

The flames licked Xia De's face, but Xia De relied on his own extremely high flame resistance and just didn't care. So, the demon proposed his own idea:

Xia De smiled and grabbed the handful of gold coins the doctor gave him from his pocket... actually they were all gold-plated, and then twisted the special one:

"That's impossible. If you want to see that great one in the camp, you need to find a way yourself. That is the basic rule here."

Xia De asked, and the demon in the flames let out a strange, wild laugh:

"There is a strange power. I can't be sure what it is, but that power is specifically aimed at me. Yes, I can feel it."

Xia De got a coin when he came for the first time, won three coins in the card game last time, and spent two coins when 【Fate Pedestal】 divined his own origin. Therefore, he still had two coins left. It's just that because items from past time cannot be brought to the present, those two coins were handed over to Miss Higgins for safekeeping when he left. Obviously, when Miss Higgins and Mrs. Miles left, they forgot to leave the coins to those who stayed there.

"That's fine, I choose the sun."

"You are a coin yourself, and now you bet on coins. Do you want me to watch you play tricks?"

Xia De threw the coin to the girl. The girl caught it in a panic, and then found that Xia De was not looking at him.

"Sin? What do you want? How much?"

"What you said gave me a clue. The grammar of demon language not only has time pronouns but also indicates spatial position. The gods are indeed already here. That's fine, we bet on coins, guess front and back, one game decides the winner."

"Outsider, the more you say that, the more I can't bet on cards with you. If you have coins on you, we can use your coins to bet."

Xia De said to the girl. After taking back his coin, he slashed at the air. As an unstable crack appeared in the air, the light of the dark moon penetrated the crack and shone on the soul and Xia De's face.

Xia De pointed to the girl fixed in the air, and more firelight appeared in the demon's eyes and coins:

Xia De looked at it, and the huge face made of coins also looked at Xia De.

"You are too greedy. Precious level sin, you want 3 units as soon as you open your mouth? Do you think I don't know anything? Is this ugly, dirty soul worth 3 units of precious sin?"

"But sir, what can I do? I am not you, I am just an ordinary person. I know I shouldn't have attacked Miss Higgins, but... what can I do? I don't have your power, nor your knowledge. I am just an ordinary person."

Even without any occult knowledge, the girl understood at this moment that this was his destination. He bowed and wanted to thank Xia De, but Xia De stopped him:

The demon's voice fell, and the girl's soul solidified in the air fell back to the ground. The soul regained its ability to move. He looked at the face in horror and wanted to hide behind Xia De, but then thought of what he had done, so he didn't dare to approach Xia De.

Saying that, he flicked the coin and let it fly into the air. Under the reflection of the firelight, the gold coin flashed with a strange, dazzling light:

Xia De ignored the girl's last words and looked at the huge face floating above the bonfire. The latter also looked at Xia De at this time;

"Yes, but I want to add a condition: if I win, you have to tell me where that god of wealth is."

"Did you bring 50 coins?" Xia De frowned slightly: "It was fooled!"
