Chapter 8, Starting Today to Become a Demon

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

The boy, no longer bleeding, barely lifted his eyes to look at Su Mo in front of him, and within his left eye, a faint hexagram pattern could be seen.

"Send me back to hell, isn't it Earth? After all, I am an intruder..." Su Mo furrowed his brows slightly. This summoning was extremely perplexing and truly baffling.

A breath of the legendary superior being came rushing towards me

In sandbox games, it is a fundamental quality of a player to open the map before undertaking tasks

Stop

This time, Su Mo did not allow the young man to fend for himself. He opened the car door and walked to the trunk, retrieved some medical supplies and bandages, then approached the young man, removed his hand from his forehead, and treated the wound that had appeared due to the impact.

If Su Mo refuses, then this contract will naturally not be established. As a demon, he cannot remain in this world and will be sent back to hell.

After signing the contract, as the true contractor, Su Mo completely replaced the position of that demon, essentially transforming from a counterfeit to an authentic product. Upon completing the contract, the place to which he returned naturally became Earth

Indeed, the contents of the contract are not so simple; it stipulates a multitude of tasks that the demons must perform for the signatory of the contract—summarized, it is "I am your loyal hound until I devour you." The core principles are: "1. The master is always right. 2. If the master is wrong, refer to the first principle"

It seems that the terms of the contract need to be revised, Su Mo thought to himself

Clearly, he has mistaken this strange steel monster for Su Mo's true form

Although he is only thirteen years old, he is nonetheless a young nobleman, and he possesses a certain degree of composure.

Aside from the rather unfortunate aspect of having to sacrifice one's soul after fulfilling a wish... However, to be fair, Su Mo still possesses a considerable amount of such things as souls

As the contract was established, a burst of light erupted from the floor of this dimly lit room, revealing a massive hexagram magic circle slowly fading away

At that moment, a series of crisp footsteps reached Su Mo's ears, indicating that someone was approaching this place

The modified black car belonging to Su Mo indeed exudes a certain fierce and domineering aura, which is quite normal for it to be regarded as the embodiment of a demon by Telandon. Moreover, from his statement, it can be inferred that the productivity or technological level of this world is not particularly high

Fortunately, this contract has not been fully established; only the boy outside the car, as the "master," has signed the contract. Su Mo, however, has not; he merely perceived the contract through some magical power and has independently mastered the language and script of this world

You say that the summoner is a cute girl, which is acceptable

As an intruding substitute, Su Mo was not naively optimistic enough to believe that the power of the contract would be intelligent enough to send him directly back to Earth

That kind of large wound—treating it has no effect at all, with a cavity the size of a bowl on the chest. How should such a fatal injury be handled? Should we stuff it with cotton?

Are all demons masochists? How could they possibly sign such a master-servant contract? It seems that hell is not an easy place to survive; one has to endure such hardships just to earn a meal. Looking at the contract before him, Su Mo clicked his tongue in disapproval

This room, although spacious and elegantly decorated, has no windows, only an iron door, exuding a chilling atmosphere, resembling more of a cage than a bedroom. It seems that this Trandon has also been imprisoned, attempting to summon a demon, intending to perish if unsuccessful.

A cheerful voice accompanied by the sound of the door opening reached Su Mo's ears: "My dear little darling, I have brought new clothes for you again today"

At least there is no such thing as a car

As for the option of rejecting the contract and being sent back to hell, this choice was completely outside of Su Mo's considerations. Having finally gained the opportunity to break free from the shackles of Earth and to enhance his own strength, Su Mo would not let this chance slip away under any circumstances. Moreover, even if he wanted to return, the contract clearly stated that he would be sent back to hell, not to Earth.

Upon hearing this sound, Trelan's body trembled slightly, revealing an expression of painful memories. He then shouted angrily at Su Mo: "Kill her!"

Su Mo directly interrupted him, "I can roughly guess your situation without you saying anything. It's nothing more than a revenge story, with just one main quest. The key now is to unlock the map; if the map isn't even opened, how can we complete the quest?"

However, it is not entirely without any clues.

"Moreover, do not let your true form be revealed." Terandon Wobbs turned to the vehicle that had been summoned to this world for reasons unknown and spoke.

He was contemplating whether he should learn how to create a magic circle that could summon demons, as this was simply the perfect template for the most loyal and hardworking subordinates in the world, never betraying and enduring hardships

The power of the contract only provides Su Mo with the language and script of this world; regarding the specific circumstances, Su Mo is completely unaware and naturally must first learn some details from Tlandon.

Meanwhile, a burning sensation appeared on the back of Su Mo's left hand, revealing the same hexagram pattern. The laughter of the boy outside the car turned into a scream as he covered one of his eyes and fell off the hood of the car

He remembers that a long time ago there was an anime that told the story of a noble young man who summoned a demon to begin his quest for revenge

Indeed, it is true that the master who signs a contract with a demon is quite happy. However, for Su Mo, who was inexplicably summoned as a "demon," seeing this contract does not bring the same joy.

If this conjecture holds true, it would be a matter of mixed feelings for Su Mo. The positive aspect is that arriving in another world offers him the hope of enhancing his own strength, as opposed to entering the "End of Dharma Era" on Earth.

Telandong raised his head, looking at Su Mo with a strange expression, clearly bewildered, as he evidently could not understand Su Mo's words

This is not absolute; if the strength is sufficient, one can withstand this punishment. Alternatively, finding a loophole can also allow one to evade the penalties of the contract

The current situation seems to resemble that story quite closely

He is indeed not very skilled at dealing with wounds, as for him, minor injuries do not require treatment and heal on their own

This time, Su Mo's feeling before being summoned to this world was exactly the same as the last time. However, this time he encountered someone summoning—so Su Mo replaced a certain demon's position and appeared here

"My parents were killed by someone..." Terandon said, lowering his head and speaking in an incredibly somber voice

Although it may not be felt at present, if Su Mo were to engage in any actions that violate the contract—such as harming the youth outside the vehicle—this vanishing power would impose punishment on Su Mo

This is the power of this contract

How to choose, Su Mo will naturally have a correct, or at least relatively correct, judgment in her heart

However, the one before me is simply a youth exuding an overwhelming aura of youthful exuberance!

As the footsteps drew nearer, the expression on Trelan's face grew increasingly ferocious. To put it in an ancient saying, if looks could kill, the person approaching outside the door would already be dead

For Su Mo at present, the power of the contract is almost absolute—he has been summoned here, and naturally, he cannot withstand the power of the contract. As for loopholes, Su Mo, who has just come into contact with the contract, will need to spend a considerable amount of time to possibly find even a small one, and whether it can be utilized is still a question.

If Su Mo's conjecture is correct, his appearance here should be due to the "Doomsday Tyrant"! That poison can make a person completely disappear; it is likely not just killing someone, but rather sending them to another world.

He tied the boy's head into a giant zongzi, and Su Mo stopped with satisfaction

The severity of the punishment is determined by the extent of Su Mo's violation. If Su Mo intends to eliminate that youth, the power of the contract will impose the same punishment—death

"Is this your appearance in the human world? Not bad, I am quite satisfied. At least it is sufficient to serve as the butler for the Wobbs family," said Classmate Trandon, the last and only heir of the Wobbs family, as he gazed at Su Mo and spoke slowly

Looking at the irrevocable contract, Su Mo reluctantly accepted it and left his name—or rather, his mark—upon the contract

"This is not the main body, it is a mount," Su Mo said casually. "It is the happiest time to explore the map, so please give me a slightly detailed introduction to your world."

Improve all the disordered and inhumane treatment clauses in the contract one by one, except for the most critical and essential elements that cannot be changed, all other "loyal dog content" will be completely deleted with a wave of Su Mo's hand

With a creak, the not overly heavy iron door was pushed open

Fortunately, the content of the contract is not entirely unmodifiable; otherwise, Su Mo would have no choice but to opt for a one-day trip to that unknown hell

The hatred is overwhelming, young man. It seems you are trapped here. Speaking of which, could this fellow be that so-called parallel entity of Xia Er?

As for the concern, being summoned as a "summoned beast" is something that even a normal person would find difficult to accept

The demon's "high moral standards" do not imply that hell would be a good place. Despite possessing "immortality," Su Mo does not believe that suddenly throwing himself into a completely unfamiliar hell would be a correct choice

Looking at the twisted face of the boy outside the car, who was grinning menacingly, Su Mo felt a pang of toothache. Where is the promised cute little girl? All those anime are deceiving!

The moment Su Mo wrote his name, he felt a unique force wrapping around him as the contract was signed, only to vanish immediately after.

Telandong's hearing is quite good; upon hearing the sound of footsteps, the expression that had originally settled into calm suddenly changed, and with a fierce look, he said to Su Mo: "Go kill her! Kill them all!"
