Chapter 239: Faust (1/2)
Mephistopheles, referred to as Mephistopheles. The name of the devil and demons in Faust Delhi.
Although the name was indeed in line with the devil's usual style, he didn't want to accept it so much.
Whether it is no.1 or number one, or even the pronouns given to him by others, the devil has never used them as names.
Because the devil doesn't need a name.
If he wants to, in such a long time, he can choose a name for himself.
But why does he need a name?
The name is a kind of **** to him, admitting that owning a name is like having a certain bond with the world, like forgetting the scars burned by the flames on the altar, forgetting the past that was buried behind the broken copy. It will also give him weakness.
The devil doesn't need and doesn't bother to have a name.
The devil paused for a while, but smiled: ”If you want to call me by this name, then of course it can be your name alone, my magician.”
But if it's a magician, it's another matter.
This is the connivance of the devil alone.
Unfortunately, the magician who has lost his memory does not seem to know the meaning behind this sentence.
That's right, Zong Jiu not only didn't know, he even wondered why the devil had identified his identity so accurately.
Could **** creatures also watch magic in front of the TV?
The man condescendingly looked at the white-haired youth who made no secret of his vigilance in front of him.
Judging from the friendship background provided by the main system, it is the time when the magician had just experienced a car accident and had an accident with his hands. In other words, the magician at this moment is still the energetic and world-renowned great magician. After just experiencing the upheaval of a car accident, there is still hope in his heart that his hands can recover, and he can even entertain himself without falling into the abyss of gloom and despair.
However, the magician who entered the thriller trainee competition at the beginning has had his hands crippled for several years, has undergone numerous operations, large and small, and has tasted how many times he has been hovering on the edge of hope and despair, even the warmth of love, and finally walked completely In the darkness, I lost interest in this world, and went to the extreme of reason and madness, relying only on the critical point of chain maintenance.
Compared to the always cold and calm magician he has always known, the magician in front of him seems to be much greener and immature.
Memory is the root of a person. If you lose the memory of an important period, it will indeed cause a big change in your personality.
But this does not seem to be a mere sealed memory.
The main system distorted the time in the magician's memory, allowing him to return to a younger personality. Just like when the devil was suppressed by the Judgment Day copy to the little devil's personality, the difference is that the little devil has the memory of the big devil, but only has the personality that belongs to the little devil. The magician reversed time, sealed the memory, and returned to a specific time point. He has never experienced the pain of seeking a famous doctor for no cure, and there is still a glorious look in his eyebrows.
The devil immediately understood the point of the matter.
The main task of the magician should be to retrieve this lost memory and time.
Suffering is also a necessary lesson in life. Only through experience can you understand it.
The magician shared the past of the devil, and now it is time for the demon to share the past of the magician, which is quite reasonable.
The devil liked it very much, and he was very happy to stab in the magician's past, um...then taste this little magician who looks very delicious.
Perhaps it was this demon who seemed to be inconspicuous, whose gaze was too explicit, to the point that Zong Jiu felt that he would be eaten up in the next second, so he took the lead to break the silence.
”In that case, Mephistopheles, can you fulfill my wish.”
Zong Jiu emphasized the accent on the name ”Mephistopheles”, as if he had caught some life-saving charm, he would tie up his thorns all over as a warning.
This is the devil from hell, and any human being has no chance of winning against him.
Countless literary works have recorded the cunning and insidiousness of the devil. Undoubtedly, trading with them can get things that humans can't even think of, perhaps wealth, or something else. But this is tantamount to seeking a tiger's skin.
Like Faust in ”Faust”, he did not choose to betray the devil in the end, tore up the agreement to sell his soul to the devil after death, and fell into the arms of God instead.
Faced with such a powerful existence, it is of course normal to be vigilant. Since the real name of the devil is very useful on the parchment, of course Zong Jiu has to let the other party know his subtext.
...Although all this is really ridiculous.
From a determined materialist magician to a magician who successfully summoned the devil from hell, Zong Jiu felt that he needed to calm down.
”Of course, little magician. If it's just to restore your hands, I'm happy to do it for you.”
The devil glanced at the thick plaster and bandage on the white-haired young man's hand, and he was instantly happy.
The main system has simply and rudely reversed the time in the magician's memory, but in fact the time of this body has not changed, even the length of the silver hair is the same as when the devil played with it not long ago.
In other words, the magician's hands are all right at all.
Just knock off the plaster and remove the bandages, and it's just as alive and well, even better than before. Because these hands have long been strengthened to the top in the main system.
But will the devil say it?
He looked at the sullen face, the white-haired young man who was obviously a little nervous, and the corners of his mouth curled up wickedly.
”However, it can be, but... my dear contractor, there is a price to pay for summoning the devil, are you ready?”
”What's the price?”
