Tiffa, who had returned to the demiplane laboratory, rushed to the room immediately. Selian, who was being restrained by the ether doll Tiffany to avoid secondary harm from self-mutilation due to confusion due to excessive pain, At this moment, she was in a semi-fainting state in pain, and her black and gray skin was covered with sweat, as if she had just been fished out of the water. The dark elf girl seemed to have no strength to even scream, only her body was constantly shaking. While twitching, it was obvious that he was not completely out of pain.
"Is the contract punishing you?" Tifa immediately checked Selian.
"I think so~ Miss Tifa, before you came here, I have tried many methods, including analgesics and magic, but none of them can reduce the pain in her body. I can't even make her fall asleep."
The ether doll Tiffany quickly explained the situation to Tiffa. The dark elf girl suddenly woke up and seemed to be restricted by some restrictions. Well~ to be precise, she didn't dare to talk to herself. When she mentioned that she seemed to have discovered this When there was a small loophole in the contract, there was obviously a slight change in expression on the girl's face, but then right in front of him, the girl fell down as if all the strength in her body had been drained, and then she screamed as if she had been tortured by countless tortures in the world. The sound rang out.
I have tried many methods, but none of them work. I can't even find out why the dark elf girl is in so much pain. Her muscle tissue is normal, her internal organs are in normal condition, and her blood flow is normal. It is not caused by curses or drugs. It can be said that her whole body Every cell up and down is normal, and the only abnormality detected is probably that the neural circuits in the girl's brain are violently active. In theory, this violent activity of neural circuits should only occur when the body is seriously injured. This phenomenon occurs, but it is obvious that the dark elf girl's body is intact now, and logically this situation should not occur.
The soul contract that binds the girl┉┉
The only thing Tiffany could think of was this possibility. The soul could influence the body to stimulate the body to cause pain, or send false pain signals directly to the girl's brain, so that even if the body was not harmed in any way, this seemingly inhumane state would occur. The pain is as painful as a thousand tortures, and when the brain, which is the largest signal source, betrays the body, no drugs or magic can work unless the brain stops signal activity, but that is something only the dead can do.
Tifa, who quickly checked Selian's body, nodded: "You are right. It is indeed the contract that is sending a large number of false pain signals to her brain. In this way, there is no way to stop it unless it is signed. The other party to the contract took the initiative to stop the contract."
"Yarin~ Do you want to kill her?" the aether doll Tiffany asked in a low and contradictory tone.
"I don't think so. Although this eldest sister's physiological functions have suffered some disturbances due to the pain, the pain is still at a level that is not life-threatening. It should be just a punishment."
Tifa can confirm that the pain on the dark elf girl is decreasing. Although the girl still seems to be tortured and can only make intermittent moans, the twitching body is gradually calming down, but the subsequent punishment of the contract is still continuing. .
"Uh-huh┉Uh-huh-huh┉Hmm┉"
Seeing the half-conscious dark elf girl making low moans of pain, Tifa thought for a while and tried her best to use the power of the Star Child to ease Selian's spirit. Although it could not completely eliminate Selian's pain, at least it could It can alleviate the pain a little bit.
"Miss Tiffany~ You said before that you discovered a loophole in the contract, and then she started to suffer?" Seeing that Selian's condition had improved, Tiffany couldn't help but ask the ether doll beside her. .
"Yes, to be precise, it was when she turned to look at me and seemed to want to say something." The ether doll Tiffany thought about it carefully and said: "┉I wonder if my words have arrived. What mechanism, or is it that the other party to the contract did this deliberately to keep her secret?"
"I think it may be some mechanism by which the big sister triggers the contract. To be honest, this contract is really special."
Gradually, Cillian's body that was still twitching finally calmed down. Tifa also slowly withdrew her strength. After all the trouble, Cillian fell asleep again, but this time it was not due to contract restrictions. The reason is that fighting with the pain exhausted the girl's physical strength. Upon seeing this, the ether doll Tiffany stepped forward and took off Cillian's clothes, used magic to create hot water, and carefully used a towel to wipe Cillian's sweat-wet body, while Tiffany was worried. Sitting aside without saying a word, she watched Tiffany take care of the girl. Although she only contained a little bit of the power of the Star Child in her body, and although she did not fall from the sky but was born in flesh and blood, she was very important to him. The dark elf girl in front of Yan was like a family member, the only person with whom he was connected in this strange world.
Stroking the blue gemstone on the necklace, this gemstone that came to this world with him also recognized the power contained in the dark elf girl. It is an indisputable fact that the power of the Star Child is contained in her body, even if it is weak and incomplete. It’s just that this power should originally belong to Tiffany!
Tifa closed her eyes slightly and rested her head on her knees to think. When she first saw the dark elf girl, she drove the girl's mental projection back because of her nervousness and fear. The process was a little rough, but then she also Undoubtedly, he was happy. It was the first time he saw a being with the same power. Even if the other person's power was very weak, it at least showed that he was not alone in this world, bearing the fate of a sacrifice. He and he had people who could understand each other. A confidant.
But now it seems that apart from the deceased Tiffany, he is still alone. The dark elf girl is not a child of the star. She just accidentally inherited a little bit of the power of the child of the star from her blood. But there is one strange thing. Except for herself, Apart from that, Tiffany should be the only one who is also a child of the Star. Although Tiffany once had a very close relationship with the White Dragon King Yalin, Tiffany did not give birth to a descendant from the beginning to the end, so now How did the dark elf girl inherit Tiffany's star child power from her blood
I can’t figure it out┉┉
Sighing, Tiffany stopped thinking about these issues that could kill millions of her brain cells. Instead, she thought of another thing: "Miss Tiffany, you just seemed to say that you knew the loopholes in this contract. ?"
The ether doll that had just wiped Celiane's body was stunned for a moment, then turned around and nodded: "Yes, is there any problem?"
"What a loophole." Tiffa suddenly regained her energy and came to Tiffany.
"This~Actually, I'm just speculating. In fact, I'm not sure whether it's correct."
"It's okay, can you tell me?"
The ether doll Tiffany also learned how powerful the soul contract is from Tifa. As a star child who can resurrect people from the dead, the ether doll inherited Tiffany's thinking mode and part of her memory and knowledge. It is very clear that there are really not many things in this world that cannot be eliminated by the power of the Star Children. Except for gods with a large number of beliefs that have created powerful divine power and demons in the twisted void that live with the power of the abyss, there are probably Only things like the True Name Contract that are connected to the rules of the world cannot be erased by the power of the Star Children, but now there is one more thing.
Although strictly speaking, the contract imposed on the dark elf girl cannot be erased by Tifa, the child of the star, but if the contract is to be forcibly terminated, the contract itself will kill the weaker party as the price of the forcible termination, which is The protective mechanism contained in this contract itself made Tifa have to take action. Although Tifa had once thought about whether to terminate the contract at all costs, anyway, even if the contract killed the dark elf girl, she would be resurrected afterwards. She would be fine, but this idea was denied by Tifa herself.
Back to the topic~ If we want to compare the two contracts, the mandatory connection between the True Name Contract and the rules of the world makes any power including the Star Child powerless to it. If the power of the Star Child can erase everything, then the True Name Contract is an existence that transcends everything and possesses The 'absolute' nature cannot be tampered with by any force. Although the contract on the dark elf girl is powerful, it is not as absolute as it is. However, compared to the real-name contract, which is so rigid that once signed, both parties must act in accordance with the contract stipulations word for word. This contract is temporarily called a soul contract. The contract seems to have some kind of intelligence. The contract itself seems to be able to think and analyze every move of the signer and automatically determine whether the signer has the intention to violate the contract rules. The contract also automatically filters and eliminates in many aspects the attempt by the weak party to take advantage of the contract. The possibility of a small vulnerability unless the vulnerability is large enough.
A closer look at the seemingly harsh and rigorous real-name contract reveals that if it is not extremely strict, it actually has many loopholes to exploit. However, the automatic analysis and elimination program of the contract has repaired some of the loopholes, which makes people helpless.
The ether doll Tiffany saw these characteristics of the soul contract, and also found that although the soul contract has a thinking and analysis mechanism, the thinking and analysis ability of the contract itself is not high. Simply put, the essence of the soul contract is still a more complex one. A sophisticated program, its automatic analysis and thinking capabilities are limited. For example, the dark elf girl tried to leave with a teleportation spell just now but was unable to succeed because she was suppressed by the mystery in the demiplane laboratory. The dark elf girl here does not have it either. It is regarded as a breach of contract by the contract, which means that what the signer does or does not do in his mind and actions is important. As long as he does it but fails due to external factors, it does not count as a breach of contract.
"I think the white dragon who took this child hostage has not weaved a watertight contract rule. In my opinion, at least half of the initiative in this contract is on our side!" Tiffany, the ether doll, said confidently said. (~^~)
