Benjamin found that he could get carried away too easily.
God help me? Think too much! Looking at his experience so far, God will not help him. God hates him, hates him to death. If God really wanted to help him, he wouldn't have left him in such an unfortunate body.
He also forgot that among the three major misconceptions in life, there was "I can fight back" - he had committed it once.
So angry...
Just now he was expecting Michelle to show up, but as a result, Michelle really showed up. But before she appeared, the curse struck first, and Benjamin fell to the ground. He didn't even have the strength to pick up a pistol and aim at Michelle, let alone think about counterattack.
So insidious!
"I don't want our meeting to become so unpleasant, but I have no other choice. After all, you already have the ability to kill me." Michelle said quietly, as if telling a story to a child, " I just want to remind you that I am a mage, you are also a mage, and the church is our real enemy. If you side with the church to deal with me, you will regret it one day."
Benjamin wanted to curse her, but the pain from the curse made him almost unable to speak.
"Don't worry, this pain will end quickly. Everything is just to remind you." Michelle obviously knew that Benjamin could not speak, and continued, "Find a way to open the treasure house, and I will undo the curse for you. . If I really have ill intentions towards you, I can take away your gun and bullets now, and you will have no ability to resist at all."
As she spoke, she walked to the bed and picked up the pistol that fell on the floor.
Benjamin, who was struggling in pain, instinctively reached out to the silver in Michelle's hand, just like a traveler dying of thirst in the desert looking at the oasis not far away before dying.
Seeing this, Michelle chuckled and handed the pistol into Benjamin's hand. Benjamin desperately tried to hold the pistol, but his trembling hands did not obey him at all, and the pistol fell to the ground again.
I only heard Michelle continue to say: "But I will not take them away. Except for the things I want in the treasure house, I will not take away anything that belongs to you. This is my sincerity for the transaction. I hope you Be able to trust me.”
I believe you are paralyzed! Benjamin couldn't say it with his mouth, so he could only roar in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly felt light all over his body, and the pain from the curse stopped. His heart lifted, and he immediately jumped out of bed, picked up the pistol, and the shooting interface quickly unfolded in front of his eyes.
However, when he raised his head and wanted to take aim, he found that Michelle had disappeared.
An empty room, an empty corner, he was the only one in the room, and it was as if Michelle had never been there.
Benjamin raised his pistol and was silent for a long time.
Finally, he put down the hand holding the gun and sighed.
It’s still the same thing.
He collapsed onto his chest, staring blankly at the ceiling, feeling a sense of despair. Every time he thought that Michelle had brought him enough psychological shadow, however, the next time Michelle would always bring him more pressure.
Did she install a camera in her room? Did she install a listening device on herself
Otherwise, why would she act like she knew everything
She is already so powerful, why not just kidnap Claude and let Claude tremble while handing the entire treasure trove into her hands
Why didn't she just blow up St. Peter's Basilica? She had to strip off all the clothes of the bishop and hang them at the city gate, and whip them for eighty-one days to satisfy her wish, right
Oh shit…
After scolding Michelle inside and out, Benjamin gradually calmed down.
He couldn't let Michelle lead him. His despair and anger were the results Michelle wanted to see. He had to calm down and think carefully. Only by analyzing Michelle's behavior clearly can you defeat her.
think carefully…
What does Michelle's appearance today mean
Benjamin knew very well that she was here to demonstrate.
Why did she come to demonstrate
Because she was afraid.
After the emotion subsided, Benjamin's thoughts slowly became clearer.
She was afraid that the next time she appeared, she would shoot her to death without any reason. Therefore, she had to run in front of him and do this so that he would be afraid of her and not dare to shoot her with a gun. But why should I be afraid of her? If you really want to talk about it, the mage who was half disabled by one of his shots in the outer city is definitely infinitely stronger than Michelle!
Benjamin can't be afraid of her. This is like a psychological game. Whoever gets scared first will lose.
However, there is another question, why didn’t Michelle take away all of Benjamin’s belongings
Because she was bluffing, pretending that she wasn't afraid at all, to scare Benjamin, but in fact...
Eh, no... does she need to bluff
If she just took everything away, she would have no ability to resist at all, and there would be no need to scare her. She left the gun behind, which increased her own risks. It was very possible that due to an oversight, she slipped away and was shot instantly by Benjamin.
Why did she do this? There seems to be no use except pretending, or is she just trying to create mystery
"Why? Why didn't she take away the gun and the bullets?"
Benjamin's thinking got stuck before it became clear.
"Didn't I say that? This is just to show sincerity. You are really not good at it. You treat your kindness like a donkey's heart and lungs." At this time, the system suddenly appeared again and said this with a tone that saw through everything.
"..." Benjamin was too lazy to answer.
If it was true as the system said, then he would be eager to do so!
The so-called transactions are based on equality between both parties. But as long as Michelle still holds his life in her hands, they cannot be equal, and there will be no so-called fairness in the transaction.
He can help Michelle get the things in the treasure house, but what happens after he gets them? If Michelle does not lift the curse for him, but continues to threaten Benjamin with the curse, what can Benjamin do? Then make a cow or a horse for Michelle? Then he might as well die.
It was too passive to hope that Michelle would find her conscience and lift Benjamin's curse after getting the treasure trove. And honestly, too young and naive.
Therefore, Benjamin could only delay and lengthen the battle line, waiting for Michelle to reveal her flaws and deal with her. Or put it off until you can think of other ways to get rid of the curse.
Another delay...
My heart is so tired.
He had only been relaxing here for a few days when these things came over him all at once, making him breathless. I have to practice Tai Chi with Michelle here, and I have to be careful about the church over there. He felt like a bomb that was about to explode if he wasn't careful.
Coupled with the military training that Claude threw at him, how could he have the energy to learn magic if this continued.
By the way, the church…
Damn it, church!
Suddenly, Benjamin seemed to have thought of something very important, and sat up from his bed.
"Um... didn't you mean that when I was rescued by people from the church last time, they extracted my memory." Benjamin's tone was extremely serious, and he said to the system, "Can you quickly create another memory now? , since I returned to the Reese family, most of it is true, but all the parts related to Michelle and magic have been deleted, and it is a memory that the church will not doubt after reading it."
Whenever magic is involved, the church acts in a very domineering manner. He was worried that after tonight's experience was reported to the Paladin, the bishop would be unhappy and send someone to extract his memory again. He had to prepare himself first.
In his memory, those were things that the church could not know.
I was lucky to have escaped last time. If he really wanted to do it again, he would be dead!
"Oh my god, how can I do this? You're making things too difficult for me!" The system seemed to be frightened by Benjamin's words and replied without hesitation.
"It's not that difficult. Just copy the file format that Benjamin memorized before, create a new file, and then input the memory we compiled into it. When the church people come to extract it, you can transfer it to him, and that's it! "Benjamin didn't dare to give up, and tried to recount it from a perspective that the system could accept.
He really had no other way to deal with extracting memories except relying on the system. Therefore, no matter how unreliable the system was, Benjamin could only let it forcefully create a memory.
"Well... after hearing this, it seems that it can really be done." Fortunately, the system thought for a while and finally said this.
"Then start quickly. I'm worried that after the Paladin reports the situation, he will find me tonight." Benjamin urged again. Ever since he realized this, he had always had a very bad feeling in his heart.
Faced with this kind of thing, he still had to prepare early, the sooner the better.
He felt that he was really clumsy. He just thought of something like "I have to practice Tai Chi with Michelle here, and I have to be careful about the church over there." But this time, he was really caught in the middle. Unable to move.
However, he soon discovered that the power of his crow's mouth was far more than that.
Because three hours later, people from the church really came.
