At this time, Du Yuqi heard the ghost continue:
"Our contract will expire in twenty minutes. I am unwilling to lose like this. Although I am only 40% sure, I still have to take a gamble. After all, only by doing it can you have a chance. Now, it depends on whether you are willing to take this gamble!"
Du Yuqi was silent for a while. Character determines destiny. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. It seems that he has been living in the midst of swords and swords since entering the continent of Arad. In fact, he is a very conservative person by nature. He usually only does things that he is sure of, and he will definitely keep a few cards for himself in case of emergency.
As for the enemy's move of self-destructing the wronged soul, although Du Yuqi only had a 40% risk and the enemy had a 60% risk, he still felt that the risk was too high! In fact, Du Yuqi was not even willing to do something if he was not 90% sure.
Therefore, he continued slowly:
"So what if you are willing, so what if you are not willing?"
The ghost said simply:
"If you're willing to gamble, then we'll see the outcome in twenty minutes. Use the curse to make the ghost self-destruct. If you kill the brat, you win. If you can't kill him, I win! But if you're not willing to take this risk, then I have another suggestion."
Du Yuqi said:
"What is it?"
The dead soul said:
"To show my sincerity, I can cancel the blood curse that is currently on Count Ratness. Once the curse is canceled, there is no way to re-cast it in a short period of time. Based on this, let's sign a new contract!"
Du Yuqi said:
"How do you want to sign?"
The dead soul said:
"The content of the contract remains unchanged, but the time has been extended. You must protect Count Ratness for seventy-two hours. Things have become extremely complicated now, so you and I both need some time to buffer. Seventy-two hours is enough for you and me to decide the winner again!"
Du Yuqi hesitated for a moment and said:
"I'll have to think about it."
The ghost said very straightforwardly:
"Okay, but don't try to delay. There are still fifty minutes left before the contract expires. I'll give you forty minutes to consider. If you don't give me a reply by then, I'll directly use the self-destruction trick ten minutes in advance."
Obviously, since the enemy has put forward this condition, it must be very beneficial to them. Du Yuqi's first reaction was to reject it immediately. However, he was unwilling to take the 40% risk of the enemy's self-destruction, so he asked Wu Nian: First of all, after the blood source soul spell is revoked, whether it can be cast again in a short period of time.
Wu Nian quickly told Du Yuqi that the other party was not lying about this matter. Once the Blood Soul Spell was voluntarily revoked, the caster would be attacked by the ghost, so it would take at least one day before it could be cast again.
When Du Yuqi heard that the CD time was only one day, he immediately frowned. It seemed that he would be at a disadvantage if he re-signed the contract, because after the other party removed the blood curse, it could be activated again at any time after one day! If he did not have any countermeasures, he would be controlled by others all the time. Re-signing the contract gave the other party a buffer period. So he might as well gamble with the other party now. At least he still had a 60% chance of winning.
"By the way, is there any way to prevent this blood soul curse?" Du Yuqi suddenly remembered a very crucial thing.
After all, prevention and treatment are two completely different things in terms of difficulty. Even from a medical point of view, prevention is much simpler than treatment. For example, for many diseases that cannot be treated at all, such as AIDS, rabies, etc., the cost of targeted prevention is actually very low, and the effect is also very good.
So Du Yuqi immediately went to ask Wu Nian. These real priests were the real experts in this area. If they all said there was no way, Du Yuqi would definitely reject their proposal directly.
Facing Du Yuqi's inquiry, Wu Nian seemed very cautious. After consulting his superiors, he responded to Du Yuqi, saying that the church was bound to deal with various vicious curses. Someone had studied this before and found that the source of the blood soul curse came from the blood. It was believed that theoretically, it could be prevented.
The method of prevention is also very simple and crude - draw the blood of fanatics or ascetics in the church, inject it into the blood of the cursed person, and then hold a blessing ceremony. The blood of fanatics or ascetics can dilute the blood of the cursed person, and it contains an extremely powerful power of faith. No curse can survive in the face of this power of faith.
However, Wu Nian told Du Yuqi very frustratedly that although this method could prevent and restrain the blood soul curse, it had a greater risk!
At least Du Yuqi still has a 60% chance of winning the bet. Once the blood of the fanatic is injected into the body of the cursed person, there is at least an 80% chance that someone will die! The person who is injected with blood has less than a 20% chance of surviving. And even the church has not found the reason.
Finally, Wu Nian kindly warned Du Yuqi that unless it was absolutely necessary, it would be better not to use this method.
After listening to Wu Nian's words, Du Yuqi suddenly felt like laughing out loud. It was obvious that this blood soul spell was the last and strongest means that the opponent could use. If he could find a way to be immune to this thing, then signing a new contract would definitely be a great advantage for him.
The problem that troubled Wu Nian and the church was not a problem at all for Du Yuqi! It should be the immune response caused by blood type mismatch.
What the Minsk Cathedral lacks the least is ascetics or fanatics. Du Yuqi is confident that he can find one whose blood type matches Count Ratnis's. Now that the biggest problem has been solved, the next thing will be a natural thing!
So, after thinking for a few minutes, Du Yuqi gave a straightforward reply:
"Okay, let's sign a new contract."
…
Ten minutes later.
In the steel fortress floating in mid-air...
Yangzi looked at the altar that was gradually disappearing in front of him and said calmly:
"The contract has been re-signed. This time he seems to be very cautious and does not give any chance to take advantage of it."
The Night Messenger Kamoka was sitting on the floor next to him. He held a translucent, peculiar teardrop-shaped ornament in his palm, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said:
"We didn't originally plan to tamper with the contract this time!"
Yangzi looked at the teardrop-shaped ornament in Kamaka's hand, and his eyes suddenly showed a hint of fiery color, but he immediately concealed it well, and then said:
"This guy is really lucky. We even used the Lens Magic Laboratory to conduct illegal operations and forcibly amplified the power of the Blood Soul Spell, but this guy was able to ask the Archbishop to protect him! How could he, who descended from another world, have such a wide network of contacts?"
Kamoka took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled:
"Because he is so difficult to kill, the reward for killing him will be even greater! This time we violated the rules and occupied and misappropriated this steel fortress. Our fates are actually tied together. Only if we do this beautifully and make great contributions can we escape the punishment from above!"
Yangzi said slowly:
"This time, we controlled the Iron Fortress to attack seven supply stations, which was enough to delay the Imperial Army that was reinforcing Shatley for another three days. Then we intercepted the supply convoy that escaped from Shatley in the west and seized a large amount of strategic materials. We have already sent these letters of request for merit, and they actually gave us a reply. Although the wording was very harsh, it also affirmed our contribution. This is undoubtedly a good sign."
Kamoka nodded and sneered:
"The Iron Fortress has been handed over to these useless people. It's really a waste of money. It also allows all the directors to see our capabilities! By the way, since this priest Du is willing to re-sign a 72-hour contract with us, it is enough to prove that he has a way to prevent the blood soul curse. Otherwise, how could he be controlled by others? Yangzi, the information you collected seems to be really accurate. There is indeed a way to prevent the blood soul curse in the Minsk Cathedral!"
A smug smile appeared on Yangzi's fair and tender face:
"That's right, the fish has taken the bait again! What will this priest Du do next? There is no doubt that he will ask the Minsk Cathedral for help and hold the relevant exorcism ceremony as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the deadline is up, won't he be controlled by us again?"
"According to the information I have, the relevant rituals in the church are divided into two parts. The first part is the blessing stage, and the second part officially enters the stage of exorcising evil spirits."
"The principle of the blessing phase is to cleanse and strengthen all participants in the ceremony, so that they can resonate with each other and temporarily gain the attribute of affinity with holy light. The following exorcism ceremony can be more effective... To put it simply, using cooking as an analogy, the blessing phase is like washing and cutting vegetables. Whether you want to stir-fry, fry, stew or deep-fry the vegetables, this phase must be performed. It is basically the same."
After hearing this, Kamaka sneered:
"So, the exorcism ceremony that Pastor Du is going to perform next will also include the blessing part?"
Yangzi smiled:
"Of course, and the Blood Soul Curse can be said to be a top-level curse, so the blessing ceremony must not be simple and careless. It should be the largest and most cautious one. This kind of blessing ceremony is very common in the church, so there is no confidentiality at all. We can easily learn about the specific materials to be prepared from various channels."
"And in order to successfully hold the biggest blessing ceremony, there are three things that cannot be prepared in advance and must be freshly prepared. By then, Pastor Du will have no choice but to go out and look for these materials. We will of course prepare a surprise gift package for him and send it to him in time. More importantly, Pastor Du's mind should still be limited to Count Ratnes at this time, but he doesn't know that our target has become him!"
Kamoka nodded and said:
"It has been confirmed that Lord Mixia, one of the seven directors, seems to be very interested in him, because Lord Mixia's plan seems to have been seen through by this person. After we capture him, we can show our goodwill to Lord Mixia. If Lord Mixia can stand on our side, our act of moving the Iron Fortress without permission can be reduced to a small matter, and we won't have to look at the face of the cruel guy Xiong Ri Shou anymore!"
"At the same time, after getting rid of Priest Du, we have cleared the biggest stumbling block around Count Ratnes! No one will go all out to protect this little baby anymore. The Minsk Cathedral is the main target of this attack. It will be destroyed in the next few days. By then, it will be easy for us to take action against Count Ratnes!"
Yangzi nodded, his eyes still sweeping over the teardrop-shaped "ornament" in Kamaka's hand. This thing looked like just a toy, but eyes can be deceiving, and it could be said to be an absolute symbol of power!
Because this is the standard key of the Arcturus integrated flying war platform! ! In order to control this huge steel fortress, you must hold it to enter the captain's room, and then claim everything and give orders. This thing represents identity and power! It is also what the ambitious Yangzi has been pursuing tirelessly!
