Shinji starts the countdown:
"5—"
"4—"
"3—"
"2—"
"1—"
"I, I choose, I choose the second one."
It is better to live a miserable life than to die.
At the last second, Hero Yeyama finally made the choice that Shinji wanted.
No, he couldn't make any other choice. Everything was under Shinji's control.
Shinji spent so much time, playing the role of the god of death and making deals, not just for fun, but to create the most appropriate environment and give full play to the effectiveness of suggestion magic.
Suggestive magic in the conventional sense is a required course for every qualified magician. The purpose of learning this magic is to deal with the aftermath or take precautions in advance when the mystery is witnessed by ordinary people or is likely to be witnessed.
For example, when Shinji made a fireball and was seen by passersby, Shinji would use suggestion magic to hint to the passersby - you didn't see anything. For another example, when Shinji was carrying the "Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid" through security check, he hinted to the inspector that "everything is normal".
All magic must follow a big premise - magic originates from mystery, the fewer people master it, the stronger it is. Conversely, the weaker it is. As you can imagine, as a magic trick to popularize magic, the effect is naturally not very good. A magic trick that makes the other party become your slave probably only exists when the magic trick is still magic.
In modern times, every magician can resist suggestion magic. Even for ordinary people who have no resistance to magic, the suggestion content should be as simple as possible, so as to ensure the effect and duration of the suggestion magic.
There is no magic that lasts forever, and the same is true for suggestion magic. Most of the suggestions are not realized by the recipient. It is not because suggestion magic is ineffective, but the expiration time is after the memory fades, that is, it is forgotten. If it is not forgotten, a situation similar to Sakura remembering the night when her fate changed will occur.
Of course, this does not mean that complex suggestions cannot be sustained. After all, suggestion is nothing more than the manipulation of the human mind, and there are more ways to manipulate the human mind than magic.
Language, environment, and even any unintentional changes in the human body will have an impact on people's minds. By making good use of these factors, the effect of suggestion magic can be greatly enhanced. How to make good use of these is a secret of the magic family.
Of course, for an ordinary person like Yeshan Yingxiong, Shinji does not need these secrets. It is enough to make him struggle on the brink of fear and death, break down his mental defenses, and make him have no doubt about Shinji's words.
Now that the foreplay is complete, it’s finally time to officially give the hint.
Shinji pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Choose the second one. I thought you would choose the first one, so that I can save a lot of trouble. But since you have agreed, I will let you live a little longer."
"Thank you, Lord Death." Ye Shan prostrated himself on the ground again.
"Don't be too happy too soon." Shinji suppressed his disgust and snorted coldly, "In terms of your human charges, the death penalty has only been changed to a suspended death sentence. You don't think you can squander the rest of this time as you please, do you?"
"Sir—" Ye Shan was really about to collapse this time. Even the God of Death would not play tricks on people like you.
Shinji remained unmoved and continued, "Since I didn't take you away, I naturally can't take Tachibana Kaori's soul. But both of you will become my subordinates in the near future, so there are some things I should tell you."
"Please give me your instructions, sir."
"I'm not afraid to tell you that the soul of that girl named Tachibana Kaori is very good. No matter which god she follows, she can become the agent of God's will - an apostle. As for you, you can only be a low-level errand boy, a jailer in our hell, or a 'little devil' according to your country's culture; the hierarchy of the gods' world is much stricter than that of humans. If she wants to punish you, there are countless ways. And after your soul is under my control, it is impossible for you to reincarnate or die - do you understand what I mean?"
Hearing what the God of Death said, Ye Shan's face was once again covered with cold sweat: "I, I know I was wrong, please save me, God of Death."
"Foolish human, why don't you understand? No matter which god it is, no one will like ignorant people who don't work hard and only pray to God. Only when people work hard, will God lend a helping hand." Under the effect of suggestion magic, this sentence was like a red-hot iron, directly piercing through the eardrum and deeply imprinted in Ye Shan's mind.
"Ming, I understand. Please tell me where Tachibana Kaori is. I will go and ask for her forgiveness right away."
"It's true that you're stupid. What's the use of verbal forgiveness? Whether you're forgiven or not depends on your performance. One of the most important tasks of an apostle is to evaluate souls. I'll give Tachibana Kaori the method in advance. If she sees your changes, I think she'll forgive you. Of course, you can also take revenge on Tachibana Kaori while you're still alive, but you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."
"No, I don't."
"Just don't dare?" Shinji increased the intensity of his hint.
"No, no, I never thought about it." Ye Shan immediately changed his words.
"Haha, it looks like you're going to be punished for lying to the god of death."
Shinji said as he lifted up Hayama's body with the long handle of his sickle and carried him on his shoulders. Then he opened the window of the room and flew out.
At this moment, all the doubts in Ye Shan's heart disappeared, leaving only fear and submission.
He shouted: "Lord Death, Lord Death, please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again. I will never dare to do it again."
"Shut up, or I'll throw you down."
Shinji casually swung the sickle blade, and Yeshan was so frightened that he was speechless.
"Don't worry. Since I said I won't take your soul for the time being, I won't let you die. I'm just teaching you a lesson."
This was also planned in advance by Shinji. It was the last scene of the script. It could not only make Hayama believe in his words, but also allow him to vent his anger for Tachibana Kaori.
The punishment was to hang him on the cross on the roof of the chapel of the high school department of Liyuan Girls' College.
Don’t you like JK? Don’t you like girls with pious faith? Let you get close to them!
He flew all the way to the chapel, put the top of the cross through Ye Shan's pajamas, and came out from the back of his neck, like a piece of bacon hung on the beam to dry.
Originally, Shinji planned to prepare a rope and tie Hayama to the cross directly. But then he thought, isn't this the image of Jesus' crucifixion? Although as a magician, he has no good feelings towards the church, but no matter what, Saint Jesus is a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger than the scumbag Hayama Hero, so Shinji finally gave up this plan.
However, he did not expect that even without the crucifixion image, in the eyes of the church, this was still an insult to the Lord. Just as Shinji knocked Ye Shan unconscious with his backhand and was about to leave, he felt a strong breath.
