Chapter 1162 Contract (rolling over and biting the tail)

“Is this the sealed witch?”

To be honest, when Duanmuhuai and Sharon walked through the snowy mountains and came to a cave and saw the so-called "witch", Duanmuhuai was speechless. After all, even Duanmu Huai didn't expect such a scene.

What appeared in front of them was a stone statue that looked like a woman. A long sword that did not look like a normal weapon penetrated the chest of the stone statue and nailed it to the wall.

"No...that's it? Is this also called a seal?"

Duanmu Huai walked to the stone statue and looked at the stone statue in front of him carefully. When he first talked about the seal, in Duanmu Huai's opinion, he should put the person in the coffin, and then at least put some runes on it. Something like that... To be honest, what kind of seal is this?

"This can't be just a stone statue...or a stone that looks like a human."

Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and knocked on the stone statue in front of him. What's going on with this sword? Will the one who draws the sword become the king? Is this the setting?

 In any case, just pull out the sword and you will know.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also stretched out his hand and grasped the weird-shaped long sword.

 “Click.”

 Could it be a similar situation here? You play me?

 “Woo————!”

"This demon has completely lost its mind and has no way to answer your questions. Just kill it as we said in advance."

 “Boom!”

However, before he finished speaking, Duanmuhuai suddenly grabbed the witch and moved aside. Then he saw a figure passing by her, and then kicked him on the rock wall.

　　　…………”

 No, it’s that simple? What can this thing seal? If there's an earthquake, I'm afraid the seal will be lifted directly.

“I have something to ask you, I wonder if you can...”

 Similarly, you should not allow others to object to your own judgment. As long as the trial court determines that it is one of the three, no matter who defends or opposes it, it will be meaningless to the trial court.

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's eyes were slightly cold. Although the overall goals of both parties are consistent, when it comes to the specific level, it is obvious that neither side will give in. As Duanmu Huai said, the judgment of aliens, heretics and demons is made by oneself as the judge, not by what others say.

"Are you a witch? Can you understand me?"

 Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai was shocked.

 “Woooo…!”

 The hard rock wall instantly made a huge depression under the opponent's attack, but Duanmuhuai obviously didn't care about such a trivial matter. He just stared at the person who suddenly launched the attack and asked.

 “But you saw it too, didn’t you?”

Just when Duanmuhuai looked confused, he saw the stone statue that had slipped on the ground suddenly jumped up with a roar like a wild beast, and then its right hand turned into a sharp claw and clawed directly at Duanmuhuai. Come over here!

The opponent was very fast, almost as brave as a cheetah, but Duanmuhuai just glanced at it, and at the same time stretched out his free left hand, and easily grabbed the wrist of the stone statue. Then he raised his head and stared at the stone statue in front of him...well, it didn't seem to be a stone statue, but more like a petrified person?

Um?

Wait, this reminds Duanmu Huai of a TV series he watched before. In the village, whoever can draw the sword is the brave man who saves the village. As a result, all the people who drew the sword in front of him were deliberately acting out, and in fact they didn't draw it at all. When the last honest man went to draw the sword, he put his hand on the hilt, and the sword just slipped out...

"I haven't judged her yet. At least for now, she does not meet the characteristics of an alien. As for whether she is a heretic or a demon, this is a matter for me as a judge to decide."

"Didn't you say that I would be the one to inquire about her? Miss Sharon?"

That's right, the person who suddenly launched the attack was none other than Sharon, who came from the Star Church and had been acting friendly with Duanmu Huai before.

Sharon repositioned herself and stared at the witch caught in Duanmuhuai's hand.

To Duanmuhuai's surprise, the sword seemed to have been inserted incorrectly. He gently pulled it out and was pulled out from the stone statue. The stone statue also slid down the rock wall and collapsed to the ground.

Hmm... the same goes for the Star Church opposite.

 From a certain perspective, colleagues are really enemies.

“Is this really okay? Depending on the situation, I will also consider you to be a demon-possessed person who is bewitched by the devil.”

 “Let’s do this to each other.”

Duanmu Huai sighed silently.

“Don’t think that I don’t know what your Star Church wants to do.”

Yes, Duanmu Huai knew it very well, because during the previous discussion, Sharon had said that she could give the devil's bounty to herself, but the condition was that the devil's body must be taken away by her - to be honest, The moment she heard this request, Duanmuhuai was already wary of Sharon.

“You said before that only demons can harm and destroy demons. So, how did your Starry Church destroy demons?”

Yes, the answer is very simple. After all, there are many radical judges in the Tribunal who like to play this trick of "learning from the barbarians and improving their skills to defeat the barbarians". To be honest, Duanmu Huai knows without guessing that the Starry Church wants to destroy the demons. What to do with your body?

“Based on my standards as a judge, your approach is also heretical.”

“But how many sacrifices are necessary to save humanity from the demonic threat.”

"I agree with this, but there are things you should do and things you shouldn't do. Self-righteous self-sacrifice is likely to lead to more serious depravity. Heretics who gradually fall into the abyss of depravity on the grounds of protecting mankind, Don’t tell me that your Starry Church has never seen anything like this.”

 Just kidding, there are a lot of people like this in the Tribunal. Duanmuhuai doesn’t believe that the Starry Church’s consciousness is higher than that of the Tribunal.

"......Then, isn't it the same for you? You were deceived by the devil's rhetoric and thought you could control the devil's power, but your soul was devoured. There are many such people in the records of the Star Church. few." "…………"

The two sides looked at each other, and the air became tense, and then Duanmu Huai sighed silently.

 “It seems that our cooperation is going to end here.”

“What a pity. I thought we would be like-minded partners.”

As she spoke, Sharon clenched her fists.

"It seems that only one of you and me can leave here."

 “I don’t think so, Miss Sharon.”

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai opened his hand. At the same time, a loud bell sounded from somewhere.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　————!

The next moment, Sharon felt the scenery in front of her suddenly change.

The originally dark and narrow cave suddenly changed. The next moment, what appeared in front of Sharon was a solemn, luxurious and pure white space. The hall, which was full of sacred atmosphere like a great cathedral, appeared in front of me, with golden bells hanging on the tall pillars around it. And Duanmuhuai stood at the top of the steps, staring at Sharon.

On both sides of Duanmuhuai, there are two male lions standing. They look like they are carved from stone, squatting on the stone seat, with a pair of wings spread behind them, and their front paws are on the gold and white. On the shields that complement each other. If the two male lions weren't staring at Sharon eagerly, she might have thought that this was just some kind of sculpture.

 But now...Sharon didn't know what to say at all.

 “This, what is this...!”

 “Come, mighty unicorn.”

Following Duanmuhuai's call, Sharon saw a pure white creature covered in gold and silver, with mane and long horns as bright as the sun. It was like a gorgeous creature that came out of mythology and appeared out of thin air, blocking her. in front of.

"this……!"

 At first, Sharon thought it might be some kind of demon, but she soon realized that her guess was unfounded. As a devout believer in the Star Church, Sharon could clearly feel the extremely sacred aura coming from the creature in front of her. She had only experienced this feeling in the great church of Star Church, but even then, it was far inferior to what she felt now.

“It is both a rare and famous horse and a missionary of faith. No one should try to get on its horse’s back—because that horse already carries the mission given by God.”

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai looked at Sharon.

“If you stop here, I can let you leave here, Miss Sharon. So, how do you choose?”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　————!

Following the sound of Duanmuhuai, Sharon heard another scream, and then, a big bird with pure white head and shining wings fell from the sky and landed on the stone pillar next to it.

　　　…………”

Looking at the scene in front of her, Sharon fell into silence. After a moment, she spoke.

 “The Starry Church will not give up.”

"I understand, but I think you should also know that the Inquisition has its own practices."

　　………Then, I hope we won’t meet again.”

 After saying this, Sharon jumped back suddenly, then quickly turned around and left, disappearing into the depths of darkness. Seeing Sharon leaving, Duanmu Huai waved her hand, and then saw the Holy Shield Celestial Lion, the Mighty Unicorn and the Elegant Bird beside her also disappearing.

"Fortunately, the other party is not that stubborn, which is a good thing for me."

As he said that, Duanmu Huai lowered his head and looked at the [Evil-Destroying Holy Light] he had just taken out from his hand... Well, if Sharon were any more stubborn, she would be dead.

Of course, this does not mean that this card has no use.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at the witch standing behind him, watching him warily.

Hmm, after seeing the scene just now, it’s normal to be wary of yourself.

　　　…………”

But what Sharon said makes sense. In any case, the devil's rhetoric is really troublesome, and Duanmuhuai himself is not the kind of person who likes to use his brain, not to mention that this is a clone, which means that Duanmuhuai cannot use it like his original body. Shadow's ability copies the opponent's intelligence.

 In this case, it seems that there is only one way.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai looked at the ancient book at hand. If he remembered correctly, there should be a part in this ancient book that could force the devil to answer questions?

So………

Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at the witch in front of him who was shivering like a small animal being stared at by a wild beast.

 “Do you want to sign a contract with me?”

Then, Duanmu Huai spoke.
