Chapter 286 Price List
"interesting."
"But you do have the qualifications to make me do things that are difficult for ordinary people to do."
"So tell me, what do you want me to do?"
The strange thing said so.
He Yu pondered for a moment. He had heard too many people talk about the existence of such supreme divinity and unparalleled will lately, but he had never seen it with his own eyes—and that bastard 659 had never displayed any exaggerated abilities either. Damn, now that he thought about it, he felt that Chun Chun had been manipulated.
The people who told him these things described them in such vivid detail that no matter how invincible an operator was in the world, they would be utterly destroyed when they encountered them, like soft, juicy rotten meat, and would only serve their master wholeheartedly.
“I want you to erase all taboos from this universe, including 659 and 031, the Mirror of Eternal Dreams that shrouds everyone’s mind, and every taboo that I have seen and haven’t seen that still exists in the second wave layer.”
"It's that simple."
"Let's begin. Let me see if you possess the unparalleled power that is said to be."
He Yu was only asking tentatively. He was not afraid of this strange thing. Since all the pain was caused by those forbidden things, he might as well cut it off at the source.
However, to his complete surprise...
"Of course, my dear friend."
"This is too easy for me."
"What this world values is also very simple and easy to understand—that is, fair exchange."
"Don't question it, because that's how the author set it up."
“Once someone gets what he wants—whether it’s power, status, soft drugs, or women, etc.”
"He will have to pay a corresponding price, or rather... the retribution for good and evil."
"So, you also need to put up some bargaining chips."
"Just a friendly reminder, this will be very, very big."
Are you sure you still want to make this request?
The strange creature spoke in an incredibly flat tone, as if it could truly do it.
He Yu was shocked.
If this thing really is as it claims, capable of eradicating all taboos with just a thought, then wouldn't the decades of effort that organizations like Eoubs have put in, including the lives and resources they've expended... become like a comedy?
Suddenly, all resistance and struggle lost their meaning, becoming nothing more than a shameless joke.
"Tell me what I need to give in return."
"Is it life? No... I don't think I'm that important to this absurd era."
"Stop fucking kidding me. If I were willing to pay the price you're talking about, I would have done it long ago without anyone reminding me."
He Yu simply assumed the other party was fooling him—like 832 and Sergio, using fate and cause and effect to gloss over the simple truth; these metaphysicians always liked to do that.
Everything I'm telling you is the truth.
“You should know that I love you even more than 659, and I even regard you as my own flesh and blood. To exaggerate a bit, you are simply a part of me.”
"But you have seen too little of the truth, which is why you have become so foolish."
"You don't understand what the multiverse is like, and you don't understand why these forbidden things were created."
"You don't understand what kind of terrifying existence you symbolize."
"All you need is a promise. Just as you assure me that you will pay the corresponding price, I will fulfill that request."
"Of course, you can take your time to consider it, considering that the space here is absolutely still relative to the outside world."
"There's plenty of time we can waste between you and me."
The strange creature replied in its usual calm tone.
He Yu didn't believe it at all. He kept having this nagging feeling that 659 might be somewhere he couldn't see, secretly laughing as he watched the show. That guy loved to join in the fun and would often call him "my dear kind," saying he was starving and they should go and wipe out all these pretentious bastards, then head to the barbecue stall downstairs for a good meal. Ideally, the gluttons in the salon would bring over some expensive wine. Right, it's almost dinnertime now, isn't it?
But that bastard is not here. He Yu thought to himself, "This is really bad." He looked at the mouth that was constantly leaking ink. This dirty liquid flowed into the sewers of the bustling street, flowing with endless desire and seduction, as if countless bloody human faces were screaming and rotting in the illustration.
"Great, that's awesome, bro."
"You almost fooled me, but luckily your dad is more skilled."
"No matter how impressive your claims are, I don't believe you because I don't have a single concrete example in front of me."
"I need feedback."
"You have to do something for me for free first."
He Yu turned his head away, not even glancing at the strange object again, but staring at the street scene with a leisurely expression, as if he were taking a stroll after dinner.
"A very good suggestion."
"Looks like you do have some brains after all."
"But as I said... everything in this world must be fair—equivalent exchange is an indispensable process."
"But I'll let you cheat once, because I love you the only one."
"This is a one-time exception, and the price you pay will be much lower."
The strange, floating mouthpiece quickly responded.
"You're good at business."
