Chapter 171 The Devil’s Helping Hand
"So," DeWitt did not dispel the barrier. He stood up and looked at the Mirror Master with a frown on his face, and asked, "Are you the...demon?"
"Devil - it's just a title," Mirror Master's voice was smooth and grainy, as light as a snake's scales scraping against a rock: "I hope you won't be bound by the stereotypes in knight novels."
"You definitely won't show up for no reason," DeWitt took a few steps forward and used his body to act as a buffer for the three people behind him. He had never felt more uneasy than at this moment. His heart beat hard against his chest, and breathing and speaking became uneasy. Wen Wen: "Please tell me if you have anything to say."
"As you can see, I have a deal with Emma Grossman," said the Mirror Master: "And you are obviously dissatisfied with Emma's condition. I am also dissatisfied. I hope to get her soul as soon as possible." , but according to the conditions I need an agent.”
DeWitt expressed his doubts with silence.
"Many people always set conditions when making transactions that they will never let me show up again. They are eager to add the condition that they are not allowed to receive compensation in any way. It is very... disturbing," Mirror Master said: " And I think you're suitable to be such an agent - think about it, you're asking for payment from someone who wants to kill you... isn't that very dramatic?"
"Mind telling me what the deal is all about?"
"I want to survive on my own terms, I want to surpass the magic power of wizards throughout the ages, I want to never be controlled again, after completing the three conditions, I can no longer appear in front of her and collect payment from her in one night. "
There are no foolproof conditions in front of the devil. DeWitt agreed. He asked: "I agreed, is this a deal?"
"Oh, DeWitt, DeWitt," Mirror Master shook his head and sighed: "You should be glad that this is not a deal."
DeWitt was silent again, and he asked: "What are your plans after the transaction is completed?"
Mirror Master raised his eyebrows, with hidden anger flashing in his eyes. Only people of his level could understand the origin of this anger. In the end, he did not express anything, but said normally: "Plan? I will be in this world If I find more people to trade with, there will always be someone who will trade with me.”
DeWitt nodded slightly and said, "I agree."
"I see that you are not using your full strength," said the Mirror Master: "Keep it up. When I leave, the two people behind the material world will end the battle. You must respond to her requests and make her satisfied. At her happiest moment, Tell her you want to receive payment, she will say there are conditions for receiving payment, and I will meet the conditions..."
A moment of contrast, from heaven to hell, the violent change of emotions will not bring any positive stimulation to the soul, but the Mirror Master does not lack such a soul with evil nature at all. He just wants to see a person's emotions change from one to another. Changing from one extreme to another can make him feel happy. When he appreciates Emma's soul in the collection in the future, he can think of the scene at this moment and savor it carefully - this is the evil between God and man, this is Dewei The most hated evil.
"I'll do what you say," but DeWitt said, "You... just watch the show."
"I don't like your attitude and tone very much," Mirror Master stopped smiling. He said coldly with some suppressed emotion: "I will only give you this one chance."
DeWitt lowered his head, as if he was timid and admitted his mistake.
Mirror Master moved the corners of his mouth arrogantly, raised his hand wrapped in dirty cloth, and patted it gently.
He disappears and Emma appears.
The point is that only Emma appears, and there is still a trace of the smile on her face that is identical to that of the Mirror Master.
Hermione's breathing became rapid, and she felt uneasy.
Harry asked sharply: "Where is Professor Dumbledore!"
Emma didn't bother to answer this question. She thought the answer to this question was too simple, and she didn't want to say a single unnecessary word. If the black matter that covers the sky is attracted again, she will kill people.
DeWitt re-established the protective barrier. He did not do what the Mirror Master said. He skipped the steps to let Emma get what she wanted and prevent Emma from continuing to kill people. He directly raised his voice and said: "Emma ! The transaction is completed! I will collect the reward for you!"
This result did not satisfy the Mirror Master, and he missed Emma's emotional changes, but he still completed the part he was supposed to do - turning day into night, showing 1 moons in the sky, and 1 moons in the sky. Under the light of the moon, an ugly painting appeared at the top of the center, as if someone had nailed the painting to the night sky with thumbtacks. An ugly sun was drawn on the painting - I'm afraid this thing is an omelette. No one refuted it, but the word "sun" was scrawled on the omelette image.
"Take her soul," Mirror Master's voice echoed in the air for everyone to hear: "Just like you did before."
Emma obviously still had something to say, but DeWitt didn't want to wait for a moment. The intervention of the Mirror Master made Emma lose the ability to resist, so he reached out to Emma and held it empty, completely absorbing Emma's secret source. It turns into an illusory blue bead, held between the index finger and thumb, and held flat at the same level as the eyebrows.
"You didn't do what I said, and I gave you a chance. I didn't argue with you last time," the mirror master reappeared, waving his hand like opening a curtain to remove the night, the moisture and coolness of the night. The breath instantly transformed into the warm breeze of the day. He stretched out his hand displeasedly, waiting for DeWitt to come to him, put the beads in his palm, and said: "So it won't work this time, I'm afraid you have to - Give me your soul in a way that satisfies me.”
What is the way to satisfy him?DeWitt felt there was no need to think about it, so he just turned a deaf ear. He stared at the bead, looking at Emma's soul screaming inside. At the same time, after listening to the Mirror Master's words, he felt that there was nothing to talk about. No one knew what he was thinking. .
"Do as he says," Hermione begged with a tone of voice. She felt very bad. She felt that DeWitt would not do as he said. She also felt that DeWitt did not have the ability to fight against the Mirror Master. He had no soul or axiom. After being put aside, the strong feeling in her heart reminded her of the scene of DeWitt's death, which made her mouth dry: "Hurry up..."
Harry didn't care whether trading souls was evil, he was more concerned about where Dumbledore was now, how his friends were now, and he was thinking about how to fight the Mirror Master.
"Emma Grossman... is indeed a damned person," DeWitt said, "but I still think you should disappear more than you."
A strange smile appeared on Master Mirror's face. This smile was full of contempt and unreasonable ridicule. He said: "Interesting, it seems you have your own plan."
"I don't know what you are, but I just know that I am a human being," DeWitt said. "So even if Emma Grossman died, I would not give you her soul."
Then he used his fingertips to crush the secret source orb made of Emma's soul, and challenged the Mirror Master with his actions.
