Mental fluctuations spread, and Gao Ling's voice sounded, as if he was venting his emotions.
"Stupid insect, feel the taste of supreme terror. I want you to understand that if your words and actions are inconsistent, you will have to pay a heavy price. This price is to lose your soul and your life!"
The energy octopus shouted at the stiff Richard, and then shrank its whole body, reducing its size to less than 1% of its original size. It suddenly burrowed into Richard's open mouth, like a water snake burrowing into a hole, and quickly disappeared behind Li Cha. Check the depth of your throat.
The next moment, Richard's body began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, like an inflated balloon. His expression was full of pain, as if the flesh, blood, internal organs and even soul inside were being swallowed by the high spirit.
However, just when the body expanded to nearly twice its size and seemed about to explode, the trend slowed down. A black shadow flashed in Richard's open mouth. Gao Ling, who had gotten in before, seemed to have discovered something was wrong and hurriedly rushed out. come out.
At this moment, with a "pop" sound, Richard closed his mouth, as if closing the door of the cell, sealing the energy octopus inside his body.
The pained expression on his face flashed away, and Richard looked a little amused.
Sure enough... Things like Gao Ling may be powerful, but in terms of fighting intelligence, they are no match for "despicable humans"... Therefore, a simple flaw in the battle can easily fool the opponent... This is not just once or twice. You can learn it by being easily deceived... The other party still has a long way to go...
Richard used his extraordinary power and controlled his body to return to its original shape little by little. Then he pressed his lower abdomen and said, "Mr. Gao Ling, just now you didn't want to talk to me about fair trade due to emotional reasons. Now I think... maybe you can calm down inside me." Now that we’re down, can we talk?”
"Talk? I will have a good talk with you after I get out!" Gao Ling made a sharp sound like an awl as his consciousness fluctuated.
"But you can't come out, so you can only talk inside my body." Richard said without changing his expression.
"impossible!"
Gao Ling roared, and Richard's lower abdomen suddenly bulged, then his chest bulged, and fist-sized bumps bulged up on his side ribs and back - Gao Ling pounded wildly inside Richard's body, trying to find an exit.
Richard raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing. He held it with one hand and saw that the exposed skin of his entire body lit up, with dense golden magic lines appearing on it - Richard had surprisingly transformed his body into a specialized A container for capturing high spirits.
As his thoughts turned, the magic lines were activated, energy fluctuations like water lines appeared on Richard's skin, and his whole body was dyed with a layer of light gold. The bumps that swelled up after that were forcibly calmed down one by one under the action of the magic lines. No matter how hard the spirit in the body tried, the body remained unchanged at all.
With his back straight, like a statue, Richard stood firmly on the ground and said slowly: "Mr. Gao Ling, if I say you can't come out, you really can't come out. For other things... I may have deceived you. But this thing really didn’t deceive you. So, for your freedom, you’d better consider fair cooperation between us again.”
"Are you cheating... It turns out that you call inconsistency between words and actions cheating..." Gao Ling whispered, as if he was absorbing some new knowledge, but then he did not compromise and said coldly, "Even so, I will not agree to your promise. .
You have indeed temporarily trapped me and made me lose my freedom, but you also paid the price with your own freedom. My life is extremely long, and I can definitely afford to spend it with you. At worst, I won't be able to get out of trouble until you die in a few decades or hundreds of years.
On the other hand, if you want to trap me, you must ensure that you use your full strength at all times. Are you willing to do this for the rest of your life? "
After hearing this, Richard smiled lightly and responded indifferently: "Why not?"
"you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. If you really insist on not cooperating, Mr. Gao Ling, although I don't want to, I can only continue to trap you in my body as you are. To be honest... In this state, I am not affected at all. It’s as big as you think…”
"Because, what's trapping you is just one of my many bodies..." A voice sounded, and after taking over the words, another Richard - exactly the same Richard - suddenly appeared in the sky in the sinkhole, speaking slowly. Arriving close to the first Richard.
The second Richard smiled and said: "It takes up one of my bodies. Although it is a bit of a loss, it is acceptable. I still have enough bodies left to do other things. In addition, if my body dies, I cannot trap you. When the time comes, I can also replace the new body in time to ensure that you, Mr. Gao Ling, are always trapped. How about this, are you satisfied, Mr. Gao Ling? "
Gao Ling: "..." After hearing this, there was a long silence.
After a long time, Gao Ling admitted defeat and said: "Okay, cheater, I admit that you are very well prepared, so let's talk about the transaction. What exactly do you want to do? First of all, I want to tell you, I can't Let you study for ten years! Because the soul you sacrificed is not enough to make me pay such a high price. In fact, although the soul you sacrificed is rare, it only allows me to stay in this world for a month at most. .”
"One month? Okay, just one month." Richard suddenly became eloquent, thought for a while and decided, "You stay in this world for a month and cooperate with me and my men to conduct simple research. The research is over. I will let you return and give you a soul that is no weaker than before as a sacrifice. How about that?"
"Seriously? Aren't you deceiving me again this time?" Richard's attitude changed so quickly that Gao Ling couldn't help but be suspicious.
Richard said seriously: "I'm sure."
Gao Ling was still suspicious: "When you say a month, you mean the same thing as me - it refers to a month in your current world, right? That is, the sky rotates thirty times day and night, without any external influence in the process. And I promise The timing starts immediately, without any pause, delay, or slowdown, right?"
This is really being deceived out of experience... After listening to Gao Ling's words, Richard couldn't help but admire the other party's caution... However, he did not think about deceiving the other party again, because his original purpose was to study Gao Ling for about ten days. time.
After all, things like Gao Ling are not tin wood. As an extremely advanced, extremely mysterious and extraordinary life, it is not easy to cooperate with the research for more than ten days. The reason why he mentioned the "ten years" deadline was just to leave room for bargaining. It was a complete surprise that the other party agreed to one month.
It seems that, as expected, weak high spirits like this who have never been deceived are easy to talk to, but those powerful ancient high spirits cannot.
Thinking about this, Richard responded: "Yes, Mr. Gao Ling, it is the month you thought of. If you have no objection, we have reached a consensus."
Gao Ling: "This..." I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it.
"Okay, we have reached a consensus, happy transaction." Richard said directly without waiting for Gao Ling's reply.
After saying that, he left the first body that had sealed Gao Ling in place, and the second body flew away from the sinkhole and entered a passage outside the sinkhole.
