Laws of the Insect Hive

There was a faint red eyeball in the hazy black smoke, and Rafael stared at System silently.

It didn't pass anything, and seemed to be waiting for System to speak first.

System was also silent, calmly looking at the evil god in the dream.

But after waiting for an hour and still not seeing any response from the other party, System finally did not calm down.

System asked the evil god, What are you looking for me for?

Compared to the evil god who has slept for tens of thousands of years and has a lot of time, System's time is precious, and he is also very dangerous in his sleep. Even if his body is covered with [Plague Slime], he is vulnerable to abyss creatures. attack.

However, System obviously underestimated the shamelessness of the evil god.

Rafael's red eyeballs flickered with strange light, and an inexplicable message entered System's mind, some similar to his spiritual message, but not at all.

I didn't come to find you, but you who longed for strength took the initiative to find me.

Rafal's message is very real, and his tone is like a statement of fact.

If System hadn't been the party involved, and he knew clearly that he had kept everything about Rafal far away, he might have thought that what Rafal said was true.

But just when System came up with this idea and complained about Rafal's shameless behavior in his heart, System suddenly felt a little dizzy...

Ding! You gain status [Raphael's Whispers].

The dizziness disappeared quickly, and System also became awake. He felt a sound in his ear just now, but he couldn't remember it at all.

I came to find you? System asked Rafa doubtfully. He felt that something was wrong with his spirit, as if he had forgotten something, and Rafael in front of him had no respect for him. Answering the question, after waiting for a while, System seemed to have figured it out and continued: It seems that I really came to you, but why should I look for you?

In the dream, the evil god did not answer him, the strange red eyes just looked at him quietly, as if waiting for System to find out the answer by himself.

The doubtful System felt more and more wrong, and habitually flipped through the video files in the [Tools Menu].

Unlike the image that listens to the sound of the world, which cannot be recorded, everything that happened in the dream created by Rafael is completely recorded in the image data, and even the thoughts in his heart will be completely recorded.

Ding! The abnormal state [Whispers of the Evil God] has disappeared.

Soon, System knew that he was bewitched by the evil god, and the [murmur of the evil god] (5/5) disappeared the moment System learned the truth.

System looked at Rafal's red eyes, but the other party did not continue to bewitch him, nor did he do anything else. System speculated that Rafael did not have the ability to read minds, and did not know that he had broken free from the bewitchment at this time.

System knew that if he showed that he had seen through the bewitching of the other party at this time, there was a high probability that the evil god would continue to bewitch him, or make more threats to him.

As long as these [plague slimes] are still there, the evil god Rafal will haunt him, and even if he escapes this time, there will definitely be another time.

After some consideration, System decided to follow the trend and honestly trade with the evil god. Anyway, these [plague slimes] will lose their activity after seven days, and trading with the evil god will not cause him to lose too much.

Before, System had never wanted to deal with the evil god, because he was afraid that the evil god would entangle him, but now that the evil god was entangled with him, System did not have so many concerns.

Great Rafael, the god of plagues and curses, I implore you to grant me the ability of [Shadow Incarnation]. System immediately asked the evil god for the incarnation ability he had always wanted.

With this incarnation ability, System can accept most of the abyss calls without hesitation, go to different main planes, learn and master more knowledge, and can understand the world more fully.

After receiving System's request, Rafael finally gave System's response and put forward the conditions for the sacrifice.

System must sacrifice all his [Plague Slime] in exchange for the [Shadow Avatar] ability.

This is an obviously unequal deal.

With the combat power he gained from these hundreds of tons of [Plague Slime], he could easily defeat the flying dragon of the extraordinary rank, but only for one [Shadow Incarnation] ability, System could clearly feel that he was trapped.

But he was being bewitched by the evil god at this time, and he had no other choice than to accept the deal.

It didn't take long for System to even leave the dream, and the sacrifice had already begun.

...

Just like that, when System, who had finished offering sacrifices in his sleep, woke up again, he just fell from the sky into the swamp on the ground.

System's hundreds of tons of [Plague Slime] had disappeared because of the sacrifice, and a black animal skin book with purple patterns appeared beside him.

This book is very familiar to System. It is the book he obtained from the rat-man wizard Lance to communicate with the evil god Rafael. It was this book that allowed System to have the first contact with the evil god. .

System remembers that at that time he asked Shava to put the animal skin book back into the rat man wizard's lair. Later, when the rainy season came, the animal skin book was estimated to have been soaked. Things are forgotten.

Now it seems that this book is not simple, System remembered the strange statue of Rafael in the half-plane temple, the appearance of this book is inseparable from the shadow temple, maybe Rafael has secretly paid attention to it. He has been a long time.

With a helpless sigh, System knew that his plan to find the tyrant slime would not work in a short time.

System quickly felt the [Shadow Avatar] ability that he traded with Rafal, and opened the [Tools Menu] to check this ability.

...

[Shadow Incarnation] (25/25): A special ability granted to System by Rafal. Create an external avatar with certain combat abilities by consuming experience points, vitality, and shadow energy.

...

Exceeding System's expectations, System thought that the evil god Rafael would at most give him a ten-level [Shadow Avatar] ability.

But he never thought that the evil god had given him an extraordinary ability.

System suddenly remembered the information he had received when he first contacted the evil god, and the sacrifice of the evil god followed the principle of equal exchange.

That is, as much as you sacrifice, you will get as much.

Perhaps the evil god asked System to sacrifice all [Plague Slime] in exchange for his abilities, which means that he is buying and selling strongly. It is clear that System only needs to sacrifice a small amount of [Plague Slime] to obtain a low-level [Shadow Avatar]. , but Rafael did not disclose any information in this regard.

However, after the real deal, System did not suffer too much loss.
