After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 74: This Kid Has Some Skills (Fourth Update)

After Zhang Chi's remarks, Gu Youyou and Zhang Chi established a series of equal and unequal treaties.

The equal treaties include principles of mutual assistance, non-aggression, and each taking what they need.

According to the agreement, Gu Youyou is obligated to help Zhang Chi overcome any difficulties. When Zhang Chi needs assistance, she must lend a hand. In return, once Zhang Chi has the strength, he must also rescue Gu Youyou.

These are the terms of the equal treaty, but there are even more terms for the unequal treaty.

During the period when Gu Youyou controls the body, all actions must prioritize Zhang Chi's interests. Major decisions require Zhang Chi's consent.

At any moment, Zhang Chi's safety takes precedence over everything else.

During their time together, all the benefits obtained belong to Zhang Chi personally.

After Gu Youyou is freed from captivity, both parties can negotiate the dissolution of their partnership. However, even after the dissolution, Gu Youyou is still not allowed to harm Zhang Chi's interests in any form...

In short, as a lawyer in his previous life, Zhang Chi is skilled at drafting articles.

Gu Youyou agreed to some of the most difficult and seemingly unimportant provisions, but she didn't pay much attention to them.

You don't even read carefully when signing agreements with lawyers, really.

Just wait to leave with nothing when you get divorced!

Zhang Chi thought that his intelligence was not inferior to the Demon Race, but he didn't expect the Demon Race to be so good at deceiving.

Their agreement is not just empty words; they have sworn to the heavens.

This kind of oath is more powerful than any legal provision.

If you violate a legal provision, you might just have to pay some money in a lawsuit.

But if a cultivator breaks a sworn oath, it means death.

And if you violate it, you won't just be struck by lightning from all directions; the heavens will definitely not spare you.

Playing around is one thing, but don't joke about the heavenly principles.

So, when Zhang Chi made his oath, it was ruthless. Things like being torn apart by five horses or having his soul scattered were just the beginning.

Zhang Chi started with a barrage of lightning strikes, followed by a wave of swords piercing his heart, and then eternal damnation after death, with his soul enduring daily torture and never being able to be reborn.

That was truly ruthless, but in reality, Zhang Chi only had one violation: refusing to rescue Gu Youyou when the conditions were ripe.

But...

When would the conditions be considered ripe? Zhang Chi would decide.

In simple terms, he would never violate the agreement.

And Gu Youyou was swept up by his oath and had to make a similar oath.

The main point was to never seek survival and never seek death.

Once the oath was completed, Zhang Chi could finally relax completely.

Although there was now a Demon Race soul inside him, this Demon Race had already signed a contract of servitude, which meant that he was the boss and she was the employee.

Isn't that unfair?

Learning that Gu Youyou could only control the body for four hours, Zhang Chi generously waved his hand and said, "I'll quickly make a few more wishes so that you can gain control for six hours."

Only working eight hours as an employee?

How can that be?

Let's arrange for twelve hours.

Long Yan, who was pretending outside the formation, naturally had no idea what was happening inside. However, when she secretly came to see Zhang Chi at night, she noticed that he seemed relaxed and as if something good had happened.

"You seem very happy?"

"It's nothing, just been cooped up for too long, finally able to go out, so I'm a bit happy."

Long Yan couldn't help but shake her head.

This guy is smart, but his mind is too restless. He's not a good candidate for cultivation.

Cultivation requires a calm and composed mind. He can't even handle a few days of confinement; it's destined that he won't achieve great things.

He needs to temper his temperament. No wonder his master forbade him from leaving.

Long Yan silently labeled Zhang Chi in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

She recited an incantation and reached out to grab Zhang Chi, but he quickly wrapped a piece of cloth around his hand and pulled away from her.

Long Yan couldn't help but complain, "Are you disgusted by me?"

Her delicate jade-like hand, others didn't even have a chance to touch it, but Zhang Chi, he actually showed such disgust.

Long Yan felt insulted.

Zhang Chi, this shallow man!

"Miss Long, please don't misunderstand. I already have a partner, so I must remain faithful to her."

"Hmph, how pretentious!"

Long Yan could only suppress her anger. She had originally planned to use her escape technique to accompany Zhang Chi, but now she was no longer in the mood. She took out a purple talisman from her storage ring and slapped it on Zhang Chi's shoulder, saying, "Come with me!"

Other people's purple talismans were life-saving items, but hers was a means of transportation.

One could only say that she was willful because she had money.

This was the extravagance displayed by a wealthy woman without even thinking about it. Zhang Chi was impressed.

The two of them sneaked away, leaving Sword Sect and heading to the Zhou family's ancestral home.

During the day, Long Yan secretly passed on a message to the two elders, asking them to cooperate with her actions.

So at night, Elder Feng personally guarded the Zhou family's ancestral home and didn't stop Long Yan and Zhang Chi from entering at all.

This was also a lesson learned by Long Yan.

She revealed her hidden identity to the two elders, so that if anything happened to her, the Dragon Transformation Palace wouldn't be completely unaware.

Zhang Chi didn't care at all about how Long Yan coordinated and arranged things. As long as he could successfully investigate, it was enough.

The scene was extremely brutal, but currently no one was collecting the bodies of the Zhou family. According to the investigation requirements, the crime scene had to be preserved as it was, while a sealing formation was set up outside to prevent the bodies from decomposing.

Zhang Chi carefully examined each body and finally came to a conclusion.

"The killer is a skilled swordsman."

"No kidding, I could tell at a glance."

"Not only that, the killer also has OCD."

"What kind of illness is that?"

Long Yan had never heard of this term, but Zhang Chi straightforwardly took out ten neatly arranged spirit stones from his storage ring and placed them in a neat square in front of Long Yan.

"How do you feel?"

"What do you mean?"

Long Yan didn't understand.

Then, Zhang Chi took away one of the neatly arranged spirit stones and replaced it with an irregular one.

"Now look again, what do you feel?"

Long Yan: "..."

No matter how she looked at that irregular spirit stone, she found it annoying. After looking at it for a while, she became particularly irritable.

Seeing the change in her expression, Zhang Chi knew that she understood.

"This is OCD. Everyone has it to some extent. When they see something irregular, inconsistent, or asymmetrical, they become irritated.

And this killer is an extreme case of OCD. The position and depth of each of her strikes are the same.

It can be seen that she is a skilled swordsman, overpowering everyone present. Her killings are like art, one strike is fatal, precise and elegant.

So the killer definitely won't be someone who neglects their appearance. They must have a proper appearance in their daily life, and their living area must be very clean and tidy. The arrangement of furniture and books must be neat and orderly."

Long Yan: "..."

Although she also concluded that the killer was a skilled swordsman, she only relied on her intuition. Zhang Chi, on the other hand, spoke with reason and found more clues about the killer.

This guy may be a bit shallow, but he really has some substance!
