As the saying goes, "I'd crush Saeko Busujima!"
Saeko Busujima slashed at him, but her sword was taken away. She was then lifted up by the neck and fell to the ground. She typed "GG".
And they also witnessed the scene where Sojo broke Saeko Busujima's limbs.
Although it was somewhat cruel, she was the one who attacked first, so no one said anything.
But what they witnessed next was, as the saying goes, madness.
A group of people walked in and immediately attacked Chang Yan.
Chang Yan kept dodging and didn't retaliate.
After a while, Chang Yan probably couldn't take it anymore and started to fight back.
He rushed towards the girl in the back row, but was then bound by a magic circle on the ground.
The two men slashed at Chang Yan, but he blocked their knives with his hands.
Fresh blood kept flowing.
Then, an assassin appeared from behind, ready to deliver a righteous backstab to Chang Yan.
The dagger was getting closer and closer to Chang Yan's back of the heart.
When the dagger struck Chang Yan, he finally broke free of the magic array, leaving a long wound on his body.
And the so-called "magic eye" has also changed.
An ominous black silk thread stained the demonic eye, one black and one red, extremely eerie.
"Next, please watch carefully. That is, your classmate Chang Yan's true nature is revealed."
The voice gave the signal, and they saw it too—
Chang Yan's figure disappeared again, and when he reappeared...
The man with the katana was pierced by his own sword and hung on the wall, and then—
As the saying goes, he broke it down into black and white particles bit by bit and swallowed it.
However, this was not what terrified them the most.
What terrified them most was that Chang Yan was laughing.
Laughing nonstop
Crazy laughter
He was laughing maniacally while simultaneously committing massacres.
Even without sound, they could sense it—
His smile was like that of a demon.
Stephen Hawking passed away today. May he rest in peace.
Chapter 46 Transactions and Contracts
(Please keep things harmonious, fellow readers. People are not making jokes out of malice; just a gentle reminder is enough.)
What followed was a brutal massacre.
blatant torture and murder.
The strong bully, trample on, and despise the weak.
Even if that superhuman unleashed their potential, even if that paladin burned their faith, even if that assassin used a talisman to transform into a monster.
That's all useless.
Faced with that insane, commonplace statement, their fates were all exactly the same.
Slaughtered, dismembered, and devoured.
Willpower was shattered, beliefs were denied, and justice was trampled upon.
Ironically, he found pleasure in it.
The demon laughed maniacally, intoxicated by the aura of slaughter.
Hopes are shattered and trampled upon time and time again.
What will be left when hope is gone?
All that will remain is despair and fear.
Even through a screen, that madness sent chills down everyone's spine.
"Is that really a common saying? Could it be false too?"
Pointing at the screen where the survivor squad was being brutally slaughtered, Hyoudou Issei said in disbelief, his words revealing a hint of fear.
Feeling fear towards his longtime friend would normally make Hyoudou Issei feel deeply ashamed.
But now, he is truly terrified of the common sayings of today.
"I...I don't know either. Those eyes are undoubtedly Chang Yan's, but...why is he like that...I feel like he's become so unfamiliar."
Itsuka Shido looked completely bewildered; he truly felt a sense of unfamiliarity and fear towards the familiar.
Why do common sayings change so much?
It's so big that it's unrecognizable.
"You have no doubt, this is indeed the real deal. After all, for a transaction to be completed, both parties need to gain each other's trust, and I have no reason to deceive you."
Edward's voice remained as calm as ever.
"Alright, Mr. Edward, now can you tell me what we need to do?"
Yuukawa Naoko adjusted her glasses, her tone exactly the same as Edward's.
“It’s very simple. I control the barrier and send cultists to clear the way for you, and you go and destroy the two things under my guidance.”
"And that thing is the summoning circle of the Church of the Invisible Form and the Shab-Migo Cult."
"Destroy the summoning circle? I remember you guys were in cahoots, weren't you?"
"A group? No, we're just using each other's relationships. Do you think a group of believers with different faiths would be friendly and helpful to each other? Especially since we're a cult. In fact, our purpose is different from the other two churches. Their purpose is to summon the evil gods they believe in. We, on the other hand, are just a group of seekers who crave knowledge and pursue the truth."
"We planned to set up a magic circle and then use it to communicate with the Lord of Boundless Radiance, who represents truth, in order to obtain the knowledge we crave. However, based on our experience, that Lord of Boundless Radiance is too generous and always willingly bestows upon us a large amount of knowledge, to the point that our weak brains cannot handle it and explode. Therefore, we need to borrow the brains of the students in this school to act as temporary memory sticks."
"The reason we chose this school is because of the quality and number of its students. But please rest assured, this communication will not harm them. On the contrary, their minds will be developed, and some may even retain that knowledge. If you two monks also wish to pursue the truth, you may also join us in this communication."
When Edward finished explaining their plan, he also extended an olive branch to the two mages.
"From a monk's perspective, we are very willing to pursue knowledge, but how can you guarantee our safety?"
Yukawa Nako raised the most pointed question.
It would be a lie to say I'm not interested.
As mentioned earlier, the monk's thirst for knowledge is incredibly strong.
But that's on the condition that he's still alive.
Only by living can one continue to pursue knowledge.
"A guarantee? How about we sign a contract? Please feel free to inspect it."
A light piece of paper landed in Yuukawa Naoko's hand.
Legre, who was standing nearby, also joined in.
I glanced at the author's signature—Edward Elric
What they saw startled them.
"Edward Elric! The youngest master alchemist in history! Why would he join a cult?"
"Reality is truly full of jokes. Master Edward, please wait a moment."
Upon realizing Edward's true identity, Yuuka Naoko and Legley's tone became extremely respectful.
Second only to the highest-level world-class master alchemists, and the youngest alchemist in history, his future is limitless.
But this master with unlimited potential became the high priest of a cult.
Reality is truly unpredictable.
However, no matter how high or powerful your status is, the contract still needs to be checked.
Monks are the most afraid of death in the world.
Even the first spell taught in every magic academy is Mage Armor.
This inspection kept them both very busy and sweating profusely.
Read the contents several times first, removing all the patterns. Then use the Eye of Truth spell to check for any hidden text or spells.
Next, wash it with holy water to see if there are any demonic or undead writings on it.
Similarly, wash it again with demon blood and see if there are any celestial texts.
Let's use some more dragon blood to see if we can find any Elvish or Dragon languages.
After all, the text types mentioned above all have a built-in hiding effect.
Then use flames and ice water to test whether it is temperature-related text.
Then scan it again with ultraviolet light and a bunch of other rays.
After confirming that there are no problems with the content, make some changes.
We revised and discussed at the same time, consulted books, discussed again, and consulted books again.
Fortunately, the contract was made of an extraordinary material, and it didn't break despite all that.
In short, it took the two of them a long time to get everyone to sign the contract.
Of course, the pen was provided by Yuukawa Nako herself.
(The other party's signature will disappear if the contract is modified in any way.)
"Excellent. It seems you were all very attentive in class. This contract revision is flawless, and the inspection methods are excellent. If I were your contract class teacher, I would give you a high score."
Looking at the drastically altered contract, Edward was not angry at all; instead, he praised the two of them.
Why not a perfect score?
Ayumu Aikawa, who knew nothing about magic, raised a question.
"Because there is no perfect contract in the world. No matter how excellent the security measures are, they can be broken, and no matter how excellent the breaking measures are, they will have shortcomings. Master Edward, do you want to revise the content?"
"Of course, otherwise I'd be at a huge disadvantage. I'm not your nanny. For example, this..."
"This is because..."
The three of them, completely disregarding the people around them, spoke a lot of technical jargon, and sometimes even uttered a few words and phrases that were incomprehensible to everyone, leaving the onlookers utterly bewildered.
"Excuse me, are you all done?"
"Would it be great if you could help us solve this problem?"
"what is the problem?"
"First of all, do you understand &&%*%@?"
"???? Sorry, I don't understand."
"If you don't understand, please stand aside and don't bother us, thank you."
"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you."
That day, they recalled the fear of being looked down upon by the top students.
