Suddenly, Chen Zhao thought of an idea.
An extremely risky idea!
Demonic crystal!
If he gave the demonic crystal to the gang leader, he might have a chance.
But he couldn't let him eat it whole.
Chen Zhao took out the demonic crystal and looked up at Morgery. "Do you have a hammer?"
"For what?"
"Yes or no?" Chen Zhao didn't explain.
"Find him a hammer."
Morgery turned to leave. A moment later, he found a hammer.
Chen Zhao didn't know if the demonic crystal was indestructible, but he had no other choice.
Chen Zhao lifted the hammer high up.
But just then, the Grim Reaper suddenly approached.
"You want to use this to save him?" An unfamiliar voice rang out in Chen Zhao's mind.
Chen Zhao tried to use his own thoughts to reply. "Yes. Is there a problem?"
"Give me the demonic crystal and I'll let him go."
"This demonic crystal is more valuable than him," Chen Zhao replied.
"But if he dies, you'll die too."
"Are you the Grim Reaper? Why do I feel like you're more like a demon? "
"I'm indeed a demon. The Grim Reaper is just a name you humans give me. More accurately, my race is called Soulbringers."
"Demon? A demon I know said that no demon has entered the human world in a thousand years. "
"Do you know other demons? We Soulbringers are demons too, but we don't live in Hell. We live in the crack between Hell and the human world. "
"Then how do you send souls to Hell?"
"We're not responsible for sending souls to Hell. Fallen souls will fall into Hell themselves. We Soulbringers only attack special souls, like his."
"What's special about him?"
"He's a bad guy and a good guy. There's light and darkness in human nature. We bring him to the crack and peel off the useless parts. We extract the remaining parts and refine them into the demonic crystal in your hand. So, if you're willing to give me the demonic crystal, I'm willing to let him live."
"You can decide whether he lives or dies?"
"I can't, but I can decide that he won't die now. He still has life. As long as you don't kill him directly, he still has a chance to live."
"I can only give you half. He's only worth this much."
"Deal," the Soulbringer replied readily.
With that, Chen Zhao's hammer smashed down, shattering the demonic crystal.
It seemed that this thing wasn't very hard. Chen Zhao picked up the shards.
Then, when the two of them were not paying attention, he handed half of the demonic crystal fragment to the Soulbringer.
"Are you still not leaving?"
Chen Zhao really didn't feel comfortable with a Grim Reaper beside him.
"Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. I won't break my promise. I'm just telling you that your surgery will be successful, but he will still die of a gunshot twenty minutes later."
Chen Zhao shuddered. "Who did it? Morgery? "
"No, it's a female."
Chen Zhao's eyes sparkled. Should he tell him?
Chen Zhao raised his head. He looked at the boss and then at Morgery.
"Was your gunshot wound caused by a woman?"
Morgery immediately pulled out his gun and pointed it at the back of Chen Zhao's head.
"How did you know?"
"Before I came in, I saw a woman on the street. That's why I asked. Do you think it's normal for a woman to walk around in this kind of place at this time and in this kind of weather?"
The boss' eyes sparkled. "I owe you one."
"No need. I'm just responsible for my patient."
Chen Zhao started removing the bullet from the boss' chest. The Soulbringer never left.
"I'm occupying this street now. If you need me, you can find me again."
"Is there a Grim Reaper in every street? No, a Soulbringer?"
"That's not it. We exist between light and shadow, and we will only be attracted by souls with complex personalities. We won't be bound by territory. It's just that there are a lot of these complex souls in this street, so I occupied this place."
"Does that mean that as long as you're here, you can decide anyone's life or death?"
"We can't decide anyone's life or death. We can only sense the scene before a person dies. For example, I told you the cause of his death just now and you told him to avoid this kind of death. If it's a person without vitality, then no matter what you and I do, we can't stop his death. No, more accurately, the demonic crystal can."
"Huh? Demonic crystals can extend a person's life? "
"Yes, but there are two sides to everything. Demonic crystals can extend a person's life, but they can also destroy the human body's functions. Just like you doctors often say, overdosing is the same. The human body can't handle too many demonic crystals. Only demons can swallow demonic crystals directly. If you want to use demonic crystals to extend a person's life, then grind it into powder and give it to a person in small doses. It's best if you give it to an old person. If you give it to a young person like you, then the demonic crystal will destroy your body's functions and make you extremely weak. You'll need a long time to recover."
"I understand."
Chen Zhao carefully removed the bullet and stopped the boss' bleeding at the same time.
"Your life is saved."
Right now, the boss was still very weak. He nodded slightly. "Thank you."
"I need to get my share of the reward and leave this place."
Morgery paid. Three thousand dollars, not a penny less.
Chen Zhao didn't want to stay here anymore, but the Grim Reaper would leave with him.
"If I need your help in the future, how can I contact you?"
"If you're in this area, I'll sense you. Whether you need me or not, I'll come and chat with you. If you need me to go somewhere else, you'll have to make an appointment. Also, if I leave this area, my sense of death won't be as strong. If the target is already targeted by other Soulbringers, I won't be able to sense death. Only one Soulbringer can sense each person's death."
"Let me ask you a question."
"What?"
"If I'm in danger and I want you to protect me, can you do it?"
"I can't save you, but I can make their deaths come earlier."
Chen Zhao felt that the Soulbringer's ability was the most suitable for his profession.
At least, it was much more useful than Beelzebub and Raymond.
"Oh, do you have a name? Or who do you belong to? "
"Death doesn't have a name. Plus, we belong to any demon king."
"Then I'll give you a name. It's too awkward to call you Grim Reaper or Soulbringer. Of course, it's fine if you don't want to."
"Give me a name? Of course not. You're the only human who wants to give Grim Reaper a name. "
"Since you're all black, I'll call you Blackie."
