Contract (4)

When everyone started to turn around and rush to leave the field, suddenly the saintess eyes lit up, the saintess released a pressure which made me feel almost the same as the woman in the white room, although this pressure not as strong as the woman in the white room but this was enough to cause fear for ordinary people.

Those who tried to turn around knelt under the saintess's pressure, the five people who chose not to leave the field began to have difficulty catching their breath, I tried my best not to kneel, resisting the pressure exerted by the saintess

God dammit! I had a feeling this would happen!

Once again the saintess raised her hand, from the gangster's back, a thread of light came out and then the thread was held by the saintess. Saintess pulled the thread, golden light began to emerge quickly from the gangster's body following the thread of light that saintess pulled.

For some reason, the gangster man's face and skin turned pale and then his hair turned white very quickly, I looked at the gangster man's face and I felt that the gangster was gone.

A black shadow appeared under the gangster's feet as many hands came out and tried to pull him underground, those hands had faces in their palms and those faces had various frightening expressions such as wide smiles with eyes bulging out.

The gangster didn't have any expression as if nothing had happened, when half of his body started to be sucked into the ground, a very large finger came out of the shadow where the gangster was sucked in, this finger had sharp nails that almost resembled a sickle.

The finger dived sharply towards the gangster's head, the spike penetrated the gangster from head to body and quickly forced the gangster into the shadow, the shadow began to disappear along with the gangster's body which had disappeared into the shadow.

"What... was that" Fear began to overtake me, my body became stiff seeing the incident happening right before my eyes, then I looked at the saintess with a wary gaze.

Silence and horror occurred simultaneously. People started vomiting and crying, overwhelmed by the gruesome events unfolding before them, I don't know what kind of life they lived in their world but this seemed to be their first experience seeing people killed in such a disgusting way.

Hmm? You wonder why I didn't vomit in this situation? You ask if I have ever seen something similar? Well, it could be said that I often see human deaths that can be called "disgusting", for example a person's body being separated due to a malfunction in the teleportation device and when my sister...

...Nevermind

People started to look at the saintess with frightened expressions, then the saintess spoke

"Your life is in my hands, if you do the same thing that person did then your fate will be the same as him." The saintess looked at us with shining eyes and a frightening aura

"Do you guys want to live?"

People started to get scared and looked at the saintess with trembling eyes.

"So cooperate with me, I promise not to do that if you agree to cooperate with me, nod if you agree."

The Saintess spoke about it in a gentle yet intimidating voice, the frightened people instinctively started nodding quickly.

"Good"

The saintess's eyes returned to normal and the pressure the saintess exuded began to disappear, at this point we had no choice to bargain, our only choice now was to follow everything the saintess said.

"Since everyone agrees, I will immediately make a contract with you so that something like this doesn't happen again in the future."

People started to give up, the expressions on their faces looked like they had no hope left.

Saintess snapped her fingers, suddenly something like a blue hologram appeared one by one in front of everyone. This is like the system in fantasy novels that I often read, do people in this world also use the system?

It seemed like the saintess understood what people were thinking, so she explained

"I designed this magic to look like something you call a System."

There was a man who spoke in response to the saintess' words, hope starting to appear on his previously gloomy face.

"T-then, is there such a thing as a status window!" The man exclaimed with excitement

I closed my eyes, a mix of embarrassment washing over me as I heard the man's words.

Kugh!... I don't know why hearing it makes me feel very embarrassed, I know you guys get excited because you hear the word system but don't you feel embarrassed saying it with your own mouth?

In contrast to me, hope began to appear on the faces of these people who were previously afraid, they began to clench their fists as if waiting for an answer from the saintess, even the five people who had not turned around to leave the field showed on their faces that they were expecting the same thing.

What a quick change of heart! Did they forget that a few minutes ago they witnessed a man die in a tragic way? What's with this strange atmosphere? Am I the only normal one here? Or am I actually weird?

"I will give you what you want as long as you agree to the contract I proposed."

"I'll agree to it! Hurry up and tell me!"

"Is there really a system in this world?"

"right?, I'm so excited!."

Not long after the saintess finished speaking, people started to get excited and agreed to the contract even though the saintess had not yet discussed the contents of the contract.

We're F*cked up! don't they know how dangerous it is to agree to a contract where they haven't even been told what the contents of the contract are? I think I see several people who have the same thoughts as me.

For some reason, I felt there was something strange in the saintess' words, I felt like this was planned.

I looked at the saintess suspiciously and it seemed like the saintess noticed my gaze and smiled.

"But before that, I will tell you the contents of the Contract."

Saintess smiled then writing appeared on the system screen.

"...this is"
