Until Gu Shen finished speaking, there was no response from the Ruler of Truth.

These words are of course not meant for the dead Pluto. Death is like a lamp going out, and so is Pluto, even though the will he once laid down is still scattered in the river of Hades.

It's just that Pluto couldn't hear a word of what Gu Shen said.

"Don't you want to say something?"

Since the devil didn't speak, Gu Shen simply took the initiative to ask.

"What do you want me to say?"

The devil said calmly: "Now that I'm in your hands, I should say something you like to hear... Well, I agree, understand, and fully support your choice."

"I'm very curious about what the last guy holding the ruler did."

Gu Shen said calmly: "You don't know anything about it, do you? Since you can call it 'Styx', you should know something."

"..."

silence.

The inside of the ruler is extremely quiet.

If you use your spiritual power to penetrate and sink, you will see that in the large space where light and shadow intersect, the devil is sitting lazily on the throne, seemingly sleeping with his eyes closed.

It has the right to remain silent at any time.

Obviously, the devil doesn't want to talk about the past he experienced in this ruler.

And Gu Shen, who had just completed a transaction, could not use "black silver" to threaten him at this moment. At least for the next ten days... he had to fulfill his promise and give the devil "freedom".

"Okay." Gu Shen shrugged and said, "Don't you just want to make the next deal?"

The word transaction has an inexplicable magic.

The devil, who was sitting sideways on the throne, raised his eyebrows. He raised his head and said in a gloomy tone, impatiently: "Gu Shen... don't think of me as a fool. I know what kind of person you are."

Cunning, insidious, despicable, shameless...

This young man calls himself "the devil" in his heart, but in this unequal transaction relationship, he is the one who is more like the devil!

trade?

I'm afraid that if the sky falls, Gu Shen won't really trade with him.

Originally, it was still trying to achieve the purpose of the transaction by relying on inducements, opportunities, and coercion on certain specific occasions.

But now it has given up these ideas.

Because it completely confirmed that Gu Shen is the kind of guy he hates the most, the guy who is extremely cautious and afraid of death... In matters such as transactions, even if there are even a little bit of opacity and the details that may bring risks are not clear, Gu Shen will

Won't agree.

This is a long game.

This is true for Gu Shen.

The same is true for the devil.

"We've already started trading, haven't we? That's a good sign."

Gu Shen follows the temptation, and he wants to ensure that his relationship with the devil is close enough and far enough away...

Close enough to be useful at critical moments.

Far enough away is for your own "safety".

Several confrontations, several games.

He gets to know the devil better and better, and the devil also gets to know himself better and better.

It would not be a good thing if this guy no longer takes the initiative to bring up transactions one day... Maybe one day in the future, Gu Shen will encounter a huge crisis that is difficult to resolve.

At that time, the devil may not try his best.

To it, the word loyalty is like shit.

It would be best if this ruler could have another owner, and it was someone who was stupid, impatient, and eager for power!

In these transactions, the conditions offered by the devil are so tempting. To put it bluntly, it is the imbalance between supply and demand on both sides.

Gu Shen needs to adjust this balance, neither missing nor relying on it.

"What do you want to say?"

The devil spoke quietly, not interested in Gu Shen's words.

"I think you should know what the previous owner of the ruler, 'Pluto'... was going to do." Gu Shen thought for a moment and said slowly: "That's right, right?"

It's not hard to guess.

The devil kept silent about the events of twenty years ago.

Obviously, this is because he does not want to know the secrets of the previous master... But if you think about it carefully, Pluto left the Ruler of Truth in the East Continent and set off to the [Old World] on his own. He has obviously planned everything.

How could the devil not know anything about it?

"Sorry, this is not part of the transaction we can carry out."

The dark shadow on the throne gave Gu Shen a rather unexpected answer.

What he wants to do to test Pluto...is considered a "non-tradable thing"?

Gu Shen was slightly surprised.

He smiled and calmed down: "Oh? So you also have things that cannot be traded... I thought that as long as you can afford the price, you can agree to all transactions."

"I hope so."

The devil also smiled, but just sneered: "Unfortunately, some things are priceless. It's not that I don't want to trade, but that I can't trade. You should have figured it out clearly. The so-called trading rules are very simple. You

Pay the price, I fulfill my promise, and use soul and spirit as the medium to ensure that both parties

No one can break the contract. Therefore, what I promised will definitely be completed. However, even if you give me everything, I can't help you kill the light throne on the mountain. After all... I am just a person living in the ruler.

A lonely ghost, rather than a true god who is great enough to rewrite history."

This sentence, at the end, feels quite desolate and lonely.

But Gu Shen never did this.

When it came to the Throne of Light, he suddenly realized that these few minutes had been too quiet.

"The River Styx is a bit too quiet... Has the God of Light successfully arrived?"

Gu Shen had already swam out for a long time in the Black River. The surroundings were pitch black. Even if he was Pluto, he could not see anything at the bottom of the Black River.

It's not because there are rules or anything blocking it.

But at the bottom of the "River Styx", there is only death.

No living thing can survive here.

The "will" left by the previous Pluto in this place was only a spiritual toxin full of obliteration, erosion, and infection...

"This is tradable content."

The devil said quietly, "Do you want to know the situation on the other side of the Black Snow Mountain? I can tell you, but I want more freedom. At least for the next thirty days, you cannot use 'black silver' to block this ruler.

Perception.”

"Sorry, I don't want to know."

Gu Shen smiled slightly, declined politely, and then said leisurely: "Although I don't know what happened in the Black Snow Mountain, I guess that the arrival of the God of Light will probably fail... Even if it succeeds, the God of Light will not be able to step into the River Styx for a while.

, otherwise you would not be as calm and calm as you are now. Think about your previous performance in the Black Snow Mountain, if the God of Light was behind my butt, you should have been eager to raise your eyebrows."

The devil's face was shrouded in black mist, and his expression could not be seen.

But he was really angry. After listening to what Gu Shen said, he couldn't hold it back and hammered the armrest of the throne hard.

This young man is completely out of touch with common sense.

Not only in the matter of "transaction", my mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and in nine out of ten sentences on weekdays, I am thinking of ways to get my own information... As a nihilistic spirit living in the ruler space, it is really

Not so thoughtful.

As long as there is a similar rhetorical game, it will definitely fail miserably.

Seeing the reaction of the devil in the ruler, Gu Shen felt more at ease and confirmed the general situation on the top of the mountain.

He swam towards the boundless netherworld of the Black River and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't want to know what Pluto is going to do. When it comes to the past, you don't have to be so nervous."

The devil turned a deaf ear.

It has gradually understood that getting along with Gu Shen is completely different from getting along with the previous ruler owner.

A common tactic from the past.

And some familiar routines were of no use to Gu Shen.

It must change itself and at least... play a relatively fair game in terms of transactions.

The first step is to prevent Gu Shen from getting "information" from himself. The reason why the transaction is called a transaction is because the employer who paid the price has to make a "purchase", and Gu Shen got too much from himself for free.
