The former can be "reformed" by Heaven, while the latter are completely labeled as being of the same kind as demons. Once exposed, they will be killed first and questioned later, with no chance to argue.
With the contract completed, the side quest progress became (1/10), and Yu Ling returned to Charlie's body. However, due to the priority of the contract level, his connection with Abram was actually deeper, and he could lend out more power.
"Welcome to the Hell family, human."
Abram: "At your service."
According to Yu Ling's habit, she always finds a tool to do things first. Now that Abram has become her apostle, he is the most trustworthy little brother. Even if she has already completed the side quest progress bar, she can't let him go to waste.
He directly transferred one-tenth of the original owner's power as a high-level demon into Abram's body, and also handed over the list of other contract candidates extracted by the system to him.
“I believe you have already felt the power within you, but I must tell you that these are unique to you as an apostle.”
Jade Diamond's connection was very convenient; even within Charlie's body, it could simultaneously conjure a slightly dimmer demonic illusion in Abram's mind.
He is trying to cover up his behavior:
“Charlie is just an ordinary person, and the contract doesn’t require anything major. As my apostle, you can no longer hang around here.”
The families on these lists all have deep-seated desires and strong convictions. What you need to do is persuade them to believe in me, and ideally, exchange their souls for what they want.
This will make me stronger, and you, as an apostle, will receive even greater rewards from me.
That's pretty clear: Charlie's just an ordinary guy who's made deals, while you're my most trusted henchman, sharing both my glory and my downfall! Get to work harder and become stronger!
The system, observing the situation, discerned Yu Ling's hidden purpose: to prevent Charlie and Abram from getting too close. Confused, it decided to ask.
【Huh? Aren't he and Charlie friends? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?】
"How could that be?"
Yu Ling saw things very clearly. When Abram realized that he was now much stronger than the friends he had previously admired, he was genuinely happy and even felt a little inclined to take care of them.
"Even good friends need a sense of distance. Alright, your limited brain capacity can't understand this. Get ready, I have a feeling this war is about to start sooner than expected."
Yu Ling did not want Abram, who bore the mark of a demon apostle, to have too much contact with the human boy she was inhabiting.
Whenever the rules are broken, angels will come to earth one by one. Only by staying in a clean human body without any dark history can he avoid being 'purified' and then dying.
Abram doesn't fit this description at all, so he can only be a useful underling, but he can't be too close to Yu Ling's demonic body, which is Charlie's humanoid dwelling. Otherwise, when he gets beaten up, it might affect Yu Ling as well.
【learn! 】
The system quickly grasped the key points.
Is a fight about to break out? Can it handle it?
The system bodies that Yu Ling can exchange for are all pretty weak; even with money, you can't buy a powerful one. Otherwise, wouldn't they just sweep through and make a profit? But fighting with intelligence... well, she doesn't have that either!
The system chatted for a while and then disappeared again.
Charlie and Abram were healed by Yu Ling in different ways, and their relationship with the same demon even grew closer.
But Abram dared not disobey Yu Ling's orders and always kept his distance from Charlie. As they were busy with their studies and work, the two gradually drifted apart.
With the help of the apostle, Yu Ling quickly completed the progress (6/10). As for why she didn't finish the remaining four in one go, it was to ensure Abram's safety.
The five newcomers who have just signed contracts with Yu Ling are at least tight-lipped and stubborn. The other cowards can wait until the big battle to take advantage of the chaos. Making contact too early will only allow Abram, the middleman, to be exposed and dealt with.
As for letting Yu Ling come to him on her own initiative...
Given the devil's bad reputation, it was only because the naive Charlie happened to stumble upon it that he was fooled by chance. But in reality, even if there were truly villains willing to believe in the devil, their first instinct when suddenly confronted would be to go to church and ask for exorcism water.
To say that everyone would want to kill them is an understatement. Even if two followers of different demons met, they wouldn't dare to say that they were on the same side. There was absolutely no trust between them.
Abram's signing of Yu Ling was a huge gamble, but luckily he won, because the demon he was bound to had another identity: Vena, a newly born healing angel under the command of the Heavenly Killing Angels.
With the help of the Heavenly Court, Abram encountered almost no obstacles in developing his own faith-based demonic forces.
Unlike his avoidance attitude when he was a demon, his angelic form allowed him to sense the locations of other angelic followers through his own energy attributes. It would be a miracle if he failed to help his true form and Abram hide from easily exposed areas.
These things were all part of Yu Ling's own plan, and there's nothing worth recounting. But if we're talking about something even more unbelievable, it would be Yu Ling's impeccable reputation, which seems to have been filtered through eighteen layers of filters.
As the most advantageous healing angel in Heaven, Yu Ling has only ever secretly helped people heal their illnesses and injuries since her birth, never responding to any human as her exclusive follower.
Without believers, there is no faith. Without faith, one cannot possess greater power and will have a very low status in Heaven. Angels will almost never do this.
But Yu Ling did it anyway, and she never changed her ways despite repeated warnings.
Believing in and worshipping these things is similar to accumulating the power of faith and merit; it's easy to quickly enhance oneself, but it also makes one more susceptible to backlash. As a master of survival, Yu Ling was naturally aware of this.
However, his humble words and actions in sharing resources were mistakenly interpreted as those of a selfless and devoted angel...
Yu Ling: This is truly a wonderful misunderstanding!
Yu Ling was already the youngest angel, and she was assigned to work under the hot-tempered Bradley. She was also well-behaved and sensible and did not compete for resources. It would be an injustice if she did not become the group's favorite!
Because of her popularity, Yu Ling was often surrounded by people. Fortunately, the angels who wanted to play with Yu Ling were always scared away by Bradley, who had a cold and murderous look on his face. Otherwise, Yu Ling would have been really unable to handle it.
