Black Robe Begins: I release evil ghosts in the world of American comics

"Blood Queen?" Lin Ying seemed to have heard of this name, but couldn't remember it for a moment.

Edgar adjusted his mood, quickly returned to normal, and began to explain.

"That is a witch who was born in the era of King Arthur. She is proficient in all kinds of witchcraft and is quite powerful. She had a conflict with Walter Company many years ago. Shortly after that, you entered the company. I didn't notice you at first. , until by chance, I discovered that you actually have the mark of witchcraft left by her. So..."

"So you sent someone to assassinate me? Is this the misunderstanding you said? Since you are cooperating with the devil, you should be able to read my memory. Didn't you try to find out the truth?"

"Of course I tried, twice, and even the projection tentacles of a high-level demon were not found. There were two possibilities at the time. One was that the Blood Queen deliberately sealed the relevant memories, and the cost of forcibly cracking them was Too high. Another possibility is that you may have just come into contact with the Blood Queen's power, and there is nothing to crack. Of course we don't have the time and energy, and we can't let you exist, so I just..."

"Kill me right away, right?" Lin Ying's tone contained a hint of murderous intent, "Edgar, don't you think it's too much? Just because of a small possibility, I only have one life!"

"Sorry, I was hasty, but I had no choice at the time. Don't worry, I will pay enough compensation for this misunderstanding." Edgar nodded slightly awkwardly.

Today, Lin Ying finally figured out why his predecessor was assassinated, but strangely, he did not find any information related to the Blood Queen in his predecessor's memory.

But this does not mean that the predecessor has nothing to do with the Blood Queen. Perhaps, those related memories are sealed in the black crystal in his consciousness.

Just like the secrets on the three floors below the sage, he wouldn't be surprised if there were huge secrets hidden in the five black crystals behind.

But this reminded him that when Sage was done, he could try to crack the next black crystal.

"What compensation can you give me?"

"As I said before, you can choose reconciliation or cooperation. If you choose reconciliation, then Watt Company will have a complete ceasefire with you, and I will also restrain the people of the motherland who are furious because of Ryan and prevent him from causing trouble to you. . Of course, if you want, you can come back and directly replace Stannie's position. The Sage Research Center will be fully open to you. Every month, you can get the second-generation Extremis virus equivalent to 20% of the actual production. If there are new If it’s a product, you also have the right to call it first.”

"Obviously I don't want to go back, so let me tell you what you need to do."

"Actually, you don't need to do anything. You just need to promise not to be an enemy of Walter Company again."

Such generous and lenient conditions were unheard of and completely beyond Lin Ying's surprise. But this may not be a good thing. At least it shows that the so-called adult is very optimistic about him.

But as a weak human being, being favored by an overly powerful demon itself means excessive risks.

"What if I choose to cooperate?"

"It's very simple. In addition to the above conditions, you are also qualified to accept the test. If you can pass the test, you can directly take my place and even directly receive the reward from that adult."

"Who is that adult?" Lin Ying asked curiously.

Edgar covered his heart in awe, and replied solemnly: "My name cannot be mentioned. You will know it when the time is right. You only need to know that he is a real ruler of hell, with supreme power." With his power, he can control hundreds of millions of demons."

At this point, Lin Ying was already sure that the man Edgar was talking about must be a hell lord.

Although demons that can reach the lord level are rare, there are always a dozen or twenty in the Marvel and DC series alone.

The planet inhabited by humans has its own troubles, and human souls seem to be fundamentally different from other creatures. Therefore, in the world of American comics, there are not as many troubles as here.

For demons who are naturally fond of souls, there are many who have never forgotten this planet.

"Then can I ask, what are the tests?"

"You will be sent to various places to complete the tasks assigned by the adults until you are approved by the adults."

"for example?"

"Eliminating some of the enemy's spokesmen, or disrupting their plans, that sort of thing."

"No need to sell your soul?"

"Whether it is reconciliation or cooperation, this step is not needed, because I believe that the rewards it provides will definitely satisfy you. Of course, you can also choose to become a believer of the adults. As long as you have a soul contract, I guarantee that your strength will be at least It can be improved tenfold.”

Lin Ying refused to sell his soul without thinking, "Let's forget it. I will choose reconciliation first, and let me think carefully about whether to cooperate or not."

He considered that he still had tasks given by the system, and if there was a time conflict, he would probably focus on one and miss the other.

Rather than causing trouble when the time comes, it would be better to eliminate this possibility from the beginning. As for now, just deal with it first.

"No problem. My lord has said that I can't force you. He also believes that you will figure it out on your own. I have information about the first mission here. You can use it as a reference or give it a try."

"You said."

"No matter what your choice is, after listening to what I say next, you must not leak it, otherwise it will be regarded as breaking the agreement, and that adult will also regard you as an enemy. Lin, do you understand?" Edgar said deeply He glanced at Lin Ying and issued a warning.

Lin Ying nodded in approval, and then Edgar told the mission content.

"There was a guy who died ten years ago. He was collected by the adults because his soul was somewhat special. But recently, he suddenly escaped back to the world and stole something that the adults liked very much. The first task is to get this guy Catch it back and have that thing..."

A soul that can be favored by a lord-level demon can even escape from hell and return to the world in soul form. You can tell with your butt that it is definitely not a good thing.

Lin Ying frowned and asked, "What kind of special method?"

"My lord didn't say anything."

"You don't even explain the mission clearly, but you want me to work hard?"

Faced with the question, Edgar smiled and said, "How else can it be called a test? It's a little difficult to deserve the attention of adults, isn't it?"

Lin Ying wanted to slap him in the face, "What is that thing? I can't tell you?"

"I only know that it is a purely handmade revolver. It is said to date back a hundred years and is a perfect work of art."

"That's it?" Lin Ying obviously didn't believe it. Even if a dignified hell lord really has a hobby of collecting, what would a soul who escaped from hell want a pure handicraft?
