"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Gu Mu continued to ask coldly.
"I've told you everything!!!" the parchment scroll said anxiously, its four corners trembling.
Fearing Gu Mu wouldn't believe him, he emphasized again: "All of them!!! All of them!!!"
"Oh." Gu Mu let out a long sigh: "Since you've told me everything, you're no longer of any use to me, so why should I keep you around?"
"???" The parchment scroll: Didn't you say you wouldn't kill it if it was bad...? No, the parchment scroll suddenly realized that Gu Mu had never promised it that he wouldn't kill it as long as it told what it knew.
It was all wishful thinking on its part.
It's just a child, what complicated thoughts could it possibly have?
If you get scammed, you can only accept your bad luck.
The parchment scroll finally couldn't hold back any longer. Its four corners trembled, and it burst into tears. It didn't want to die!
Its identity is so incredibly powerful, it's practically untouchable. How could it die before it even had a chance to grow up and enjoy the privileges of being a villain?
"Erase progress"
The parchment scroll could sense that its consciousness was being gradually erased.
If this continues... its consciousness will eventually dissipate...
A tremendous fear filled the parchment scroll's heart.
I must survive... I must survive...
At that moment, the parchment scroll had only one thought.
It was terrified; it believed that the man who had imprisoned it in the hidden city truly wanted to kill it…
If it cannot provide a reason for that man to keep it, then death is certain to await it...
Moreover, this process won't be too slow.
The parchment scroll kept turning in his mind.
It is said that when a person is about to die, their enormous potential is unleashed.
At that moment, the parchment scroll suddenly thought: "I am willing to acknowledge you as my master!!!! I will be loyal to you!!!!"
"The parchment scroll said loudly."
Only by offering attractive enough conditions can a man possibly keep you.
What's wrong with acknowledging that man as the master?
Compared to this moment, feeling the fear of life slipping away year by year,
The parchment scroll only felt that as long as one could survive, even if it meant using unethical means,
Anything is better than death.
"Recognize a master? How do you recognize a master?" Gu Mu clearly hadn't considered this.
Ever since he discovered that the parchment scroll was sentient, he regarded it as an evil object and felt that it should not be kept. He never thought that it could recognize a master.
The parchment scroll sighed softly. To put it simply, it meant he had sold himself.
If I don't explain, I might lose my life.
So the parchment scroll patiently said, "Once you make a deal with me, you must abide by it. This is the rule of Heaven, and no one can defy it."
The parchment scroll tells the truth.
If Gu Mu didn't have a system, the parchment scroll's statement about "anyone" would be entirely correct.
“Even I must abide by it,” the parchment said quietly. Is this the legendary case of being sold out and still counting the money for the other party? “Among the rules set for me, besides allowing others to use my power to make deals with me and capture sacrifices for me, there is another rule, which is that I can recognize someone as my host.”
This is just like the program set when a system is first created, which must be followed.
The parchment scrolls must adhere to these rules.
Therefore, even though its consciousness in Gu Mu's mind is being erased by the system, it has no way to be extracted from Gu Mu's mind.
Because these are the rules, it cannot defy them.
"I'm not sure I can beat Zhang Banxian in this candidate competition. If I don't rise from candidate to become the biggest villain and fall into Zhang Banxian's hands, I might end up with a similar fate, or even worse. So, it's better to acknowledge you as my master now and save my life," the parchment scroll said leisurely.
Fortunately, it was still a child and didn't have that indomitable spirit.
However, the consciousness and system of the parchment scroll cannot be integrated into Gu Mu's mind, otherwise the system will treat it as a virus and automatically erase it.
So Gu Mu asked, "Can you acknowledge this hidden city as your master?"
He wasn't sure if the parchment would die if it acknowledged him as its master.
Of course, whether the parchment scroll is dead or not is irrelevant. The key issue is whether the scroll's consciousness will diminish its effectiveness, which is what Gu Mu is concerned about.
Moreover, having the parchment scroll acknowledge Yincheng as its master would greatly minimize the trouble for Gu Mu.
Hidden City is completely under Gu Mu's control.
The parchment scroll recognized Gu Mu as its host, but Gu Mu was unsure whether such a bloody and evil thing would turn against him in the future.
But acknowledging Hidden City as the master is a different story.
The Hidden City can be controlled by the system, so even if there's anything wrong with the parchment scroll, the system will detect it immediately.
Even if there is any backlash, it will only affect Hidden City and won't harm Gu Mu.
This is also why Gu Mu wanted the parchment scroll to acknowledge Hidden City as its master.
The parchment scroll wrinkled at its four corners, looking troubled.
It's already quite pathetic that it has chosen a human as its host.
But that person didn't want it to recognize him as its host; he only wanted it to recognize a city as its host.
“But it is possible…” The parchment scroll readily replied: “It’s not very harmful, but extremely insulting.”
However, it quickly reached a deal with Hidden City.
I have no idea how the parchment scrolls were made.
Soon, Gu Mu could sense that a parchment scroll had appeared beneath the Hidden City.
He can sense the consciousness of the parchment scrolls and manipulate them through his consciousness.
