With that, Su Luo stood up, faced all the ghosts, and said with a grin, "Oh, by the way, I'll treat you to some tea too!"
"Happy New Year! Don't be shy, I'll have some hot rose tea, and more if you like!"
For a moment, the entire venue was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.
Hot rose tea?
Isn't this just a legendary, eerie instance? How could it suddenly appear here?
Upon hearing this news, even the ghosts who were scrambling for the ghost money lost interest in it and turned back to check what they had just drunk.
The red, rose-colored tea, with tiny crushed rose petals floating in it, was steaming hot. What else could it be but rose tea?
silence.
silence.
Unexpectedly, they spoke without guile, their responses were equally unintentional, creating an unexpected harmony.
In the midst of this silence, Su Luo's sudden question seemed particularly eerie.
"Whether you like it or not, I'm asking you a question!"
Suddenly becoming serious, Su Luo coldly surveyed the surroundings, scanning each of the strange creatures. The sight terrified the creatures, and some of the weaker ones even collapsed to their knees, unable to withstand the pressure.
"I like it..."
"If you like it, then drink more!" Upon hearing the ghost's reply, Su Luo suddenly jumped onto the giant brain flower tree of the brain brother, came to the ghost's side, picked up the teacup and filled it, one cup after another, watching the ghost gradually transform from its initially plump body into a dried corpse.
This change terrified the other ghosts sitting with that ghost, who all retreated hastily, scrambling and rolling, their eyes filled with horror as they stared at Su Luo.
Is this even human? It looks even crazier than those monsters!
"you……"
Before Su Luo could ask a question, the strange creature in that row of seats waved its hands repeatedly, "No, I don't like it."
"Don't like it?" Su Luo tilted his head, picked up the teapot, and walked down from the brain tree, approaching the ghost step by step. "Since you don't like it, one cup of tea will cost 500,000 ghost coins."
"Give me the money!"
"I, I..." That monster had only come to the provincial capital's Ghost Market with his newly recognized boss to broaden its horizons. It had just joined the ranks of one-star monsters and hadn't even gotten used to the place when it encountered Su Luo!
"I have no money, I have no money." As if to avoid becoming that dried-up corpse, the ghost took out all the ghost money it had just stolen. "This, this is all my possessions, it's all yours, it's all yours!"
Looking at the ghost money, Su Luo had no intention of taking it. He stepped forward, gently patted the other person's chest, and smiled in a seemingly kind manner, "It's okay if you don't have money, don't be afraid."
After saying that, Su Luo picked up the teapot, walked around the ghost, and headed to the next private room.
Are we just going to let him go like that?
The strange creature took a deep breath, touched its chest, and then its expression changed drastically as it looked down at its chest in disbelief.
The spot where Su Luo had just photographed now had a huge, bloody hole twisting the monster's flesh on its chest. It then swelled up and burst open, leaving no last words before Su Luo sent it back to its hometown!
The crowd of ghosts present gasped in shock.
This is ridiculous! If you like turning into a dried corpse, you don't. Either give me 500,000 ghost coins, or I'll just smash you to pieces. There's absolutely no logic to it!
The scariest thing is that she is now the president of the Chamber of Commerce on this eerie commercial street!
Five hundred thousand ghost money—even the old chairman couldn't come up with that, let alone them!
Either way is a matter of life and death, so why not...
"Sister, no, sir, guild master, from now on I will be your loyal servant. If you want me to go east, I will never go west; if you ask me to climb mountains of knives, I will never go into seas of fire!"
Just as Su Luo was about to enter the private room next door, the two-star monster suddenly knelt down and said, "This is my death contract, please accept it, Guild Master!"
A death contract.
Unlike the contracts that Su Luo signed with the Gourmet and Zhao Cai before, those contracts required mutual satisfaction before they could be signed. After all, the system had already indicated that contracts could not be signed if the intimacy level was below 0.
But this death pact is different!
Just like the indenture contracts of humans today, the monsters that are bound by death contracts are the lowest of all monsters, like dead servants. As long as they don't die, they have to obey the orders of their contract masters for the rest of their lives!
Because of this contract, Deadpool cannot die on his own.
The implication is that unless the contract holder dies or voluntarily relinquishes the death contract, the contracted monster can be reborn even if its soul is completely destroyed.
Dying again and again, living again and again.
In the end, they are all just walking corpses, weapons with form but no spirit.
This is why, although signing a death pact guarantees survival, very few supernatural beings actually do it.
If given the choice, nobody wants to be a walking corpse!
Seeing the death contract offered with both hands, Su Luo curled his lips and accepted it with interest. Seeing this, the other strange creatures in the private room had no choice but to offer their own death contracts as well.
"Those who understand the times are wise."
Su Luo said he wouldn't press the group to answer the question about the hot tea, and then turned to go to the next private room.
Upon witnessing this scene, the monsters behind either fought desperately but were instantly killed, jumped into the fishpond below the arena, or drank themselves into mummies.
Another large group of charlatans chose to offer a death pact and become death servants.
After accepting the contracts, Su Luo walked briskly up the Brain Tree, looking up at the old chairman across the distance. "Oh, I forgot to ask."
"Old Chairman, what do you think of this tea?"
These words sent chills down the old chairman's spine and made his legs go weak!
Almost all the strange creatures in the entire place had been destroyed, leaving only him, and only him waiting.
"you……"
He wanted to curse her out, but he was afraid that Su Luo would suddenly attack him. He wanted to ask for a cup of hot tea, but he was unwilling to die such a humiliating death, let alone be beaten to a pulp by Su Luo.
Even if Su Luo can't defeat him for the time being, she has a five-star monster following her. It seems that the three-star rose wedding dress is also with this human. Putting everything else aside, he is just a monster and has no chance of winning.
Thinking of this, the old chairman's knees buckled and he knelt down.
"My lord, you are a magnanimous man. I was foolish before. This is my death pact; please accept it!"
"Very good." Su Luo took the death contract from the former president, counted the thick contract, and seemed very satisfied. Then he flashed and jumped off the arena, where he was caught by a bed of roses that quickly sprang up from the bottom of the fishpond.
Today is New Year's Eve.
"You guys were having so much fun before I arrived, show me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the first few strange creatures that had delivered the death pact to Su Luo were entangled by rose vines and sent to the arena before they could even cry out.
"According to your previous rules."
"What should I reward the one who survived?"
"A pot of hot rose tea, or a bowl of bursting pig brains? Or should I return the death contract to him?"
As she spoke, Su Luo rolled over and lay face down on the slowly rising rose bed, looking at the several strange creatures in the room, and smiled, "Which one do you think should be rewarded?"
