Zhan Shen: It’s Just a Sacrifice, How Can I Become a Villain?

41: The deal between Chen Muye and Song Zhong!After the ordeal of this incident, everyone was exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Soon, only Chen Muye was left in the basement.

”Song Zhong...”

Chen Muye muttered to himself, his memories drifting back to Chapter 38.

Inside the Forbidden Territory, Black Impermanence.

Song Zhong and Chen Muye sat on the ground, conversing amiably.

”You really didn’t lie to me. You’re quite normal when you act normal,” Chen Muye said.

”See? I told you I’m amiable! But your teammates seem to treat me like a big villain!”

Song Zhong scratched his hair, ”I have a grievance I can’t express, and it’s driving me crazy!”

Chen Muye looked at the ”harmless” Song Zhong and suddenly felt like punching him.

But after thinking about it, the other party was a Sea Realm master, so he suppressed his inner impulse.

Impulse is the devil!

”I want to discuss a transaction with you. I wonder if it’s possible?” Chen Muye stated his purpose.

”A transaction? Heh heh heh... tell me about it. There are no deals that can’t be made, only chips that don’t meet expectations!”

A glimmer of excitement flashed in Song Zhong’s eyes.

Anything that could make Chen Muye speak up must not be simple!

”I want to ask you to look after Lin Qi Ye?” Chen Muye said, enunciating each word.

”Huh?”

Song Zhong hadn’t expected Chen Muye’s request to be this!

”You want me to be Lin Qi Ye’s nanny?” Song Zhong joked, ”Aren’t you afraid I’ll break him?”

Chen Muye shook his head, ”The new Night Watcher training camp is about to start. I just want to ask you to help look after him until he graduates from the training camp!”

”Training camp? Isn’t that hosted by you Night Watchers? Aren’t you at ease with that?”

Song Zhong naturally knew the subsequent plot development, so he was a bit confused as to why Chen Muye would do this.

Chen Muye shook his head, ”You know, I’m actually a dead man, but recently, I’ve always had an uneasy premonition, and at this time, the notice for the training camp just arrived!”

”And you understand, the training camp’s location is in Cangnan City. At that time, it’s inevitable that some unsavory characters will mix in. Of course, maybe I’m overthinking it, but it’s always good to be cautious!”

Song Zhong looked at Chen Muye, not expecting this guy’s intuition to be so sharp.

”Heh heh, Chen Muye, then tell me, what is your price?”

Greed flickered in Song Zhong’s eyes, like a hungry wolf in the night.

Chen Muye spread his hands, ”To show my sincerity, you name your price, as long as I can do it!”

Chen Muye had only approached this with a ’let’s try’ attitude, so he simply let the other party name the price.

”Are you sure?” Song Zhong asked with a smile.

Chen Muye nodded solemnly, ”If you can protect Shiva’s Grudge, giving it to you isn’t impossible!”

Song Zhong shook his head, ”I already said before, I’m not interested in that thing right now!”

Then, Song Zhong stood up.

”I’ve never seen what Hell looks like in all my life!”

Chen Muye’s expression changed.

He had not expected the other party to make such a request!

”So, your condition is...”

”Heh heh! Let me visit Hell, and I’ll agree!”

”This...”

Chen Muye hesitated. Hell was suppressing Shiva’s Grudge. Once an accident occurred, it would cause irreparable losses!

”What? Regretting it? Don’t worry, I won’t do anything, just take a walk around!”

Chen Muye gritted his teeth. Compared to Shiva’s Grudge, Lin Qi Ye was clearly more important.

After all, Shiva’s Grudge had come for Lin Qi Ye back then.

He nodded, ”I agree!”

”Heh heh, aren’t you afraid I’ll go back on my word?”

Chen Muye shook his head, ”Perhaps you act erratically, perhaps you’re a complete scoundrel, but there’s one thing you’d never stoop to do, and that’s breaking your word!”

Song Zhong grinned, ”I’ll take that as a compliment!”

And so, he stepped past Chen Muye and entered Hell!

Song Zhong’s decision wasn’t a whim; he had felt the agitation of Youzu Shentu’s bronze coffin.

These days, are all these old fogeys so fond of playing dead?

Ever since Song Zhong entered Chen Muye’s Forbidden Territory, that bronze coffin had been transmitting a thought: Enter Hell!

Song Zhong didn’t know why! But since it could make Youzu Shentu so agitated, it must be something extraordinary inside.

Of course, he had also considered forcing Chen Muye, but ’Puppet’ could only control physical actions, not consciousness.

And Chen Muye’s situation was the same as Zhao Kongcheng’s; both were people who had died ten years ago.

The other party’s body could not react with his ability.

From another perspective, Michael’s Miracle seemed to have no effect on Song Zhong.

So, if Chen Muye reacted violently and refused to open his Forbidden Territory, Song Zhong really couldn’t do anything to him.

But now that the other party needed his help, it was much easier.

Song Zhong entered Hell!

Although it was currently incomplete, a grand and ancient aura still broadened Song Zhong’s horizons.

”So, this is what Hell looks like?”

The throne at the top was somewhat dilapidated and desolate, but its majesty remained.

The desk in front was empty; Song Zhong did not see the legendary Book of Life and Death or the Judge’s Brush!

And on the wall, a fresco depicting the transformations of Hell was carved.

It was just that, perhaps due to Hell’s incompleteness, those Hell transformation frescoes were very blurry, but the oppressive feeling they gave off was still strong.

”Tsk tsk! This should be considered a work of art, right!”

Song Zhong, as if by some strange impulse, walked forward and touched the painting.

The moment his hand touched the image, it disappeared!

What the heck! What’s going on?

The sudden change caught Song Zhong off guard.

Song Zhong looked at his hand, ”So evil? Is this still my hand? It couldn’t be ’Match-3 Game’ possession, could it!”

Song Zhong retreated to the center of Hell, looking at the empty wall.

”Youzu Shentu, this isn’t what you wanted, is it?”

Dead silence!

No one responded to Song Zhong.

”I can’t believe it, you’re an art collector!”

Song Zhong said again, but still no one responded.

”Damn it, at least give me a hint. You’re making me look bad. Coming in and stealing other people’s stuff, you might not care about your face, but I do!”

Song Zhong had an expression of ’hating iron for not becoming steel,’ ”I’m telling you, if they call the police later, I’m not taking the blame for you!”

After speaking, Song Zhong strode away.

Much later, in Song Zhong’s System space, Youzu Shentu’s bronze coffin emitted sounds of banging against the walls.

A voice came from Demon Star Houqing’s coffin, ”Heh heh, Shen Tu, you’ve been taken for a thief!”

”Nonsense, how can something from one’s own home be called stealing?”

”I told you long ago, this kid isn’t a good person. Why don’t we team up and get rid of him?”

No sound responded; the System space returned to calm.
