Chapter 13 Don't Want It

Fang Yue was a bit dazed at first, then frowned and pondered carefully.

Then, he paced back and forth, took another look at Bai Xiaoya downstairs, and fell silent for several minutes. When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with determination.

"It seems that if I don't accept your contract, Bai Xiaoya will definitely die!"

"And I might regret it for the rest of my life for missing this opportunity to gain extraordinary power!"

"So, my decision is..."

Fang Yue suddenly reached out to his lips, bit his fingertip, and pressed it directly onto the parchment.

With a flourish, the color of the blood went from dark to light, completing the signature on the contract in one go!

There were two huge characters, almost occupying one-eighth of the area of the parchment.

Seeming to realize its gaffe, the blood-colored characters disappeared almost instantly.

What appeared next was...

[My name is Fang Yue, it's the evening of September 3, 2050, and I rejected the parchment's fair contract.]

[45 minutes later, Bai Xiaoya died.]

[After that, the security group came, the investigation company came, and private detectives came, but none of them had any impact on me. I lived a period of peaceful life.]

[More than 2 months later, on December 1st, I died.]

[At the moment of my death, for some reason, my mind always recalled the night when the parchment gave me the opportunity to gain extraordinary power, and I was filled with remorse.]

[If... if I had believed the parchment's words at that time, it would definitely not have been this result!]

These words were like those of an elementary school student who had been bullied and dared not retaliate, so he could only grit his teeth and curse others in a notebook, filled with resentment.

Moreover, the words appeared very quickly, filling the entire parchment at once, as if afraid that it would be too late to vent this anger.

But Fang Yue was stunned.

Wait!

Why do these last two paragraphs look a little familiar?

Didn't you use this paragraph when I first picked you up?

Is your vocabulary so low?

I thought you, a parchment, would be very cultured and artistic!

Fang Yue curled his lips, ignoring the parchment's words.

At first glance, the fair contract doesn't seem to have any problems.

The parchment can't not be called parchment, right?

Then I don't need to protect it, which means the contract is void.

But I must desperately protect the parchment, and the parchment only needs to help me through danger?

What level of help is this?

What level of danger is it?

Also, how much lifespan does burning the character's lifespan consume? If the character's lifespan is gone, what will happen to me in reality?

None of these are explained. If it's not clear, wouldn't I be taken for a ride?

Although Fang Yue hasn't participated in formal work, he has read many of his classmates' labor contracts when he was about to graduate, and he knows how to analyze the pros and cons of contract legal details. He is a cultured person! Otherwise, why would he graduate from university!

Furthermore, Bai Xiaoya's imminent death does make him feel a lot, but not to the extent of risking his own life.

A person he knows is about to die in front of him, and he is powerless to do anything.

This feeling is indeed depressing and painful.

But Fang Yue knows himself. After a while, he will gradually forget about it. When he mentions it in the future, although he won't say 'Who?', 'Not familiar!', 'Bai Xiaoya, just a landlord's daughter.', he will just reminisce and feel sad.

Time will smooth everything out!

As for danger... in the past twenty years, except for the time he encountered the parchment, nothing really seemed to have happened.

People are prone to impulsive behavior when they are emotional.

Fang Yue was very emotional before, but the parchment's opportunism diluted that emotion and calmed him down instead.

He looked at the words on the parchment, snorted twice in his heart, and suddenly held the parchment in an unscientific posture.

"Parchment, you may know me very well, and can predict my future cause of death, and even the trajectory of my life."

"However, you don't know what I, Fang Yue, like to do most in my life!"

"What I, Fang Yue, like to do most in my life is..."

The blood-colored words of the unfair contract began to shed blood.

Fang Yue asked again, "Are you angry?"

The contract content of the unfair contract also changed from gold to blood red.

Fang Yue continued to ask, "Are you angry..."

The blood-colored words on the parchment began to vibrate violently, as if with a vibration effect in the text effects.

It seems very angry, but... I refuse!

Still that sentence, I, Fang Yue, like to say no to those who think they know everything!

The parchment was silent again. The words faded away, and then, as if gnashing its teeth, one word appeared after another.

[Shameless Contract: I, Fang Yue, will do my best to protect the parchment's safety within my ability. In return, the parchment will desperately help Fang Yue through any danger!]
