191: The Secret of the Devil Contractor

"A tool to complete a mission?"

When Gu Qinghan heard this, he immediately realized something.

He needed to kill Contractors to complete his mission, but could these Contractors also kill Professionals to complete their missions?

However, the Professionals they needed to kill must have special requirements, otherwise, killing a random group in the Gathering Place would be enough.

The bespectacled man frowned slightly, but dared not speak again.

By this point, nearly thirty people had revealed their Contractor identities. Zhu Wenfu looked around and suddenly sighed.

He rubbed his temples and slowly asked:

"I'll ask one last time, are you a Contractor?

I don't want anyone among my people to hide anything from me."

Zhu Wenfu's words this time already carried a hint of coldness.

Gu Qinghan looked at the people around him and slowly condensed a line of text in front of him:

"I am a low-level Demon Contractor."

Zhu Wenfu glanced at him, seemingly unsurprised by this result.

Gu Qinghan somewhat wanted to make a move now, but it seemed these people could provide him with some secrets that only Contractors knew.

Immediately, he could only choose to continue lurking.

Besides Gu Qinghan, one other person revealed his Contractor identity.

Zhu Wenfu nodded. He looked at the Contractors who had already revealed their identities and said:

"Everyone, show your demonized state to prevent anyone from falsely claiming to be one."

One person's face immediately turned pale. He said stiffly:

"Leader, actually I'm not a Contractor yet, but I definitely will be in the future."

Zhu Wenfu smiled at him, not saying much more.

Everyone displayed their demonized forms one by one. When it was Gu Qinghan's turn,

he successfully bluffed his way through using the power of the empress veil.

By the end, Gu Qinghan could already pinpoint all the Contractors present.

He memorized the appearances of all these people, then felt Zhu Wenfu beside him suddenly stand up.

At this moment, the hypocritical smile on Zhu Wenfu's face had completely vanished.

He looked at the Contractors and suddenly revealed a cruel smile:

"Everyone has been hiding for so long, today I'll give you a small gift.

Everyone here who is not a Contractor can become a stepping stone for you to complete your missions.

Of course, there are many monks and little porridge, so let's not make it unpleasant."

One second after he said this, the Professionals' expressions changed drastically.

They never expected that Zhu Wenfu intended to keep them here forever!

The Professionals instantly tried to run outside, but they were directly stopped by the grim-faced Contractors.

Most Professionals were inherently crushed by Contractors in a one-on-one situation.

Most of the people present were Contractors, and the scene instantly became incomparably bloody.

"Leader! I'm just not a Contractor right now, but I will become one later!

I am truly willing to die for you, please believe me!"

The Professional who had previously impersonated a Contractor suddenly ran to Zhu Wenfu, crying and hugging his leg.

Zhu Wenfu stroked his head and said with a smile:

"You are truly a clever dog, you guessed what I was going to do.

But no, everyone except the Contractors must die today.

Gu Qinghan is lurking in our Gathering Place, he must never know our plan.

So, go to hell."

His body quickly transformed into that strange state from before, and numerous tentacles pierced into the man's body.

The man's expression changed dramatically. He immediately drew his weapon, cut off two tentacles, and quickly retreated.

However, the severed tentacles were like leeches, drilling directly into his body.

The man's body visibly stiffened. He still wanted to fight back, but found that his body seemed somewhat unresponsive.

The hotel conference room, which had been perfectly calm, suddenly became as terrifying as a living hell.

Some Contractors acted with ferocious expressions, but there were still some Contractors who sat quietly in place.

Yang Dongcai leaned next to Gu Qinghan at this moment and suddenly chuckled:

"I knew you weren't good news. What mission did your master assign you?"

Gu Qinghan glanced at him and casually made one up:

"Torture and kill 20 female Professionals."

Yang Dongcai clicked his tongue, an expression of 'so that's how it is' on his face, and said:

"No wonder every woman sent to your room before was played to death, so that's why."

At this moment, the screams in the room had gradually subsided, replaced by the cheers and howls of a group of Contractors.

One of the Contractors wiped the blood from his face and said with a grin that had split to his temples:

"It feels so good not to have to hide. I used to feel like a rat."

Zhu Wenfu returned to his previous state and said:

"Not anymore. I just checked, there are no Contractors with the same type of demon among us.

This is very good, then we can all cooperate instead of competing."

The group of people sat back in their seats, completely devoid of their previous restraint.

Gu Qinghan looked at everyone in the room. These people, or rather, Contractors, had lost all human emotion.

Even he, after witnessing the tragic scene just now, felt his stomach churn.

It should be known that Gu Qinghan had definitely experienced many fierce battles from the apocalypse until now.

Yet, these people faced such a bloody and terrifying scene with only exhilaration and pleasure on their faces.

Gu Qinghan felt that they had most likely been influenced by the Demonic Power and had begun to enjoy the thrill of this slaughter.

Moreover, it was not difficult to deduce from the previous conversation that Contractors of the same demon seemed to have a competitive relationship.

However, Contractors of different demons seemed to have no such concerns.

At this moment, Zhu Wenfu spoke again:

"Alright, it's time for business.

Actually, my plan is very simple: you lend me a portion of your Demonic Power to make me stronger.

I can currently only obtain a little more than one-tenth of my master's power.

If I can reach one-third, I can temporarily allow my master to descend upon me.

At that time, whether it's Gu Qinghan or the military, they will all become objects for us to manipulate."

At this point, a Contractor suddenly interrupted Zhu Wenfu's words:

"Leader, now that we are in a cooperative relationship, I'll speak plainly.

Your master is a mid-level demon, but most of our masters are merely low-level or even inferior.

With such a difference in bloodline, we can't even get these Demonic Powers back.

Not to mention how much our Demonic Power can boost you, we don't actually get any benefits, do we?"

Zhu Wenfu glanced at him, the killing intent in his eyes undisguised.

However, he did not make a move, seemingly having some reservations.

He looked at the people around him; most of their expressions were also suspicious and frowning.

Zhu Wenfu took a deep breath and said:

"Don't worry, you won't be helping me for nothing.

My master's mission was quite complex and had been prepared for a week, but it was ruined by Gu Qinghan.

However, I can help you complete your missions one by one, and then you can give me a portion of your Demonic Power.

That way, it's a win-win, isn't it?"

Everyone exchanged glances, finally revealing a knowing smile.

Gu Qinghan, meanwhile, was analyzing the information he had just gained while maintaining his disguise.

From the behavior of both sides, it seemed that Contractors could not fight each other.

At least, that's how it appeared for now.

Moreover, if a Contractor could obtain one-third of their master's power, they could temporarily allow the corresponding demon to descend upon them.

Previously, he had also wanted to obtain some information about demons, but under interrogation, he could only get lies.

But now, having become one of them, the information he understood gradually increased.

However, if he waited any longer, this group of people seemed about to disperse.

Should he make a move?
