  Chapter 75 Signing the Contract

  As the meeting ended, the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps stood up and returned to their respective rooms with solemn expressions.

  Everyone's steps seemed a little heavy, as if they were carrying a heavy burden on their shoulders.

  They had faced countless evil spirits and powerful enemies before, but Dio's abilities were beyond their imagination.

  Time stagnation, life control, body temperature taking away... these abilities are like myths, making it difficult for them to fully digest and understand them for a while.

  Lin Yi and Ubuyashiki Yoya looked at each other, then stood up at the same time and walked towards the outside of the Demon Slayer Corps' base.

  When the guard saw the two people, he wanted to step forward to ask, but was stopped by Ubuyashiki Yoya with a gentle wave of his hand.

  A few minutes later, Lin Yi and Ubuyashiki Yoya came to a quiet little pavilion.

  The environment here is elegant and it is a good place for conversation.

  "Since you are here, sir, there is no need to hide. Come out." Ubuyashiki Kazuya's voice echoed in the air, breaking the silence around him.

  As soon as he finished speaking, the leaves in the jungle trembled slightly, as if responding to his call.

  Then, a blond man walked out from the bushes, and his appearance broke the surrounding silence.

  Dio walked to the pavilion calmly, his eyes swept over Lin Yi and Ubuyashiki Yoya, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  "You two are in such a good mood that you are waiting for me here." Dio's voice was low and magnetic, as if it could attract people's attention.

  He slowly walked into the pavilion and confronted the two men. An invisible contest quietly unfolded.

  Yu Hu and others thought their actions were secretive, but they were nowhere to be hidden under Dio's insight.

  Sealing the room actually exposed their whereabouts, and Dio easily followed the clues and tracked them here.

  Dio sat upright on a stone chair, facing Ubuyashiki Yoya and Lin Yi. He looked relaxed, but his heart was full of vigilance.

  Ubuyashiki Yoya gave him a feeling of being unfathomable. Although his perception told him that he was just an ordinary person, his sixth sense kept giving him warnings.

  "Interesting, you are much better than those scum in the Infinite City. How about coming under my command? I can guarantee your eternal youth." Dio's words were full of temptation, and his voice seemed to have some kind of magic that made people fall into it unconsciously.

  Ubuyashiki Yoya shook his head slightly and rejected Dio's recruitment.

  "No, for me, immortality is not what I pursue."

  When Dio heard this, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

  He obviously did not expect that his temptation would be rejected so easily by Ubuyashiki Yoshiya.

  However, he quickly regained his composure. Since Ubuyashiki Yoshiya rejected the invitation, Dio did not waste any more words.

  Dio turned his head towards Lin Yi, looking at him with a playful smile on his face, as if evaluating this new opponent.

  "Are you the one who's hunting down that guy Wu Han?" Dio's tone was filled with a hint of ease and curiosity, as if he was talking about an interesting trivia.

  He did not forget that ever since Wu Han summoned him to this world, he had been shouting that there was a hunter chasing him.

  Now it seems that Lin Yi is most likely the hunter responsible for dealing with Wu Han.

  In Dio's perception, Lin Yi is an elusive existence.

  His aura was like a bottomless black hole, and any attempt to explore it would be ruthlessly swallowed up by it.

  This feeling of being unable to see through made Dio feel wary and fearful.

  Dio is an extremely cautious and cunning enemy. Without fully understanding the opponent, any rash action may lead to unpredictable consequences.

  "So what?" The black and white rose in Lin Yi's hand seemed to sense the fighting spirit of its owner and began to tremble slightly.  

  "Well, I don't want to bother with your business. I came here this time for other things."

  "Boy, don't you feel that this world is strange?" Dio asked, staring at Lin Yi closely, as if he wanted to discover something from Lin Yi's face.

  When Dio lifted the hidden curtain, Lin Yi put away the black and white rose in his hand.

  He already understood Dio's intention of coming here.

  "What is your purpose?" Lin Yi asked directly.

  Dio didn't beat around the bush and answered directly: "Blue Bana."

  Lin Yi was not surprised to hear this answer.

  Among all the treasures in this world, this is probably the only thing that can attract Dio's attention.

  "Okay." Lin Yi readily agreed to Dio's request and drew up a contract with the help of the power of Samsara Paradise.

  "In exchange, I need you to help me kill Wu Han, even if you don't do anything."

  Dio nodded indifferently. To Dio, betrayal was something he was already very familiar with, and he and Wu Han only had a cooperative relationship, so there was no question of betrayal.

  As he spoke, Lin Yi used the power of Samsara Paradise to quickly draw up a contract.

  This contract specifies in detail the rights and obligations of both parties, as well as the serious consequences of breach of contract.

  The parchment slowly floated down from mid-air in front of the two of them, with densely written terms and restrictions on it.

  Dio read the contents of the contract carefully, not missing any details.

  When he saw the lower right corner, a sneer appeared on his lips.

  Dio tapped the blank lower right corner of the parchment. There was an inconspicuous black spot there, as if it had been accidentally printed there.

  This is not a typographical error.

  If you enlarge the black dot in the lower right corner, you will find that it is actually a sentence. The content is simple, but extremely important: "Lin Yi does not need to comply with the above content."

  This contract seems fair, but it is actually a one-way contract.

  It can only restrain Dio from attacking Lin Yi, but it cannot restrain Lin Yi from attacking Dio.

  If Dio signs the contract without reading it carefully, he will be in an extremely passive situation.

  Seeing Dio's actions, Lin Yi did not show any displeasure or surprise, and re-drafted a contract.

  This time, the contract was clean, without any black spots or other suspicious marks.

  Dio took the contract, read it carefully twice, and signed his name only after confirming that it was correct.

  The parchment spontaneously combusted the moment the signature was completed, and turned into a wisp of green smoke that disappeared into the air. At the same time, a mysterious force appeared on the two of them, which was a sign that the contract had taken effect.

  "You can do whatever you want with Wu Han when the time comes. When the job is done, give me the blue Bianhua."

  "No problem. We are still enemies right now, so don't alert them."

  Dio stood up, his figure gradually became blurred in the jungle, and finally disappeared in front of Lin Yi and Ubuyashiki Yoya.
