Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag
Chapter 170 The Contract Crisis Deepens
Damn it, this guy is really troublesome!
I rubbed my throbbing temples, the childish yet domineering voice echoing in my mind, and my anger surged.
The spirit fruit is a treasure I painstakingly cultivated in my space. Each one contains powerful energy and is my trump card.
It actually asked for everything! It was outrageous and insatiable!
But can I refuse?
The thought of the pain it caused me by recklessly draining my energy sends chills down my spine.
That feeling was as if my soul was being torn apart and my body was being hollowed out; it was worse than death.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.
The "price" it mentioned is definitely not something I can afford.
My gaze fell upon the lush orchard in the space, where plump, round spiritual fruits gleamed with an alluring luster, and their rich aroma filled the air, tempting my taste buds.
They are like tiny suns, radiating vibrant vitality.
I poured so much effort into cultivating these spiritual fruits, intending to keep them for future needs. Now, am I just going to hand them over to someone else?
No, I am not reconciled!
I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails dug deep into my palms.
It felt like being choked by fate, unable to breathe, yet utterly helpless.
I closed my eyes, my mind racing, trying to find a solution that would satisfy both sides.
This way, I can satisfy the mysterious creature's demands while protecting my interests to the greatest extent possible.
Perhaps I can give it some spiritual fruit to appease it first, and then slowly look for a way to break the contract.
If I could break this damned contract, I could be completely rid of its threat.
But if not...
My heart sank, and the painful experiences of my past life resurfaced before my eyes.
I must never repeat the same mistake!
I opened my eyes. I will never let this mysterious creature lead me by the nose!
I cautiously communicated with the creature in the space using my thoughts, "I can give you some of the spiritual fruits, but not all of them." I tried to keep my voice calm and devoid of any emotion.
"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you!" The voice appeared again, still with that arrogant tone. "However, I won't let you off the hook. You'd better listen to me!"
A strong sense of oppression struck again, my head throbbed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on my forehead. I clenched my teeth tightly, trying to suppress the dizziness.
I know full well that I am not strong enough to contend with it.
I must be patient and wait for the right opportunity.
"How much do you want?" I tried to keep my tone calm.
"I want……"
Before it could finish speaking, a knock came at the door, interrupting our conversation.
"Who is it?" I asked impatiently, but secretly I breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's me, Gong Lin." Gong Lin's deep voice came from outside the door.
I quickly got up and opened the door. I saw him holding a file folder in his hand, with a hint of fatigue on his face, but his eyes were still firm.
"I have news from Researcher Sun," he said, handing me the file folder.
I eagerly opened the file folder, inside which was a research report on soul contracts.
Although the report did not find a way to terminate the contract, it did offer some suggestions on how to control its impact.
Seeing this, a glimmer of hope ignited in my heart.
Following the report's advice, I began to adjust my breathing and focus, trying to control my emotional fluctuations so that the mysterious creature wouldn't notice my weakness.
Strangely enough, ever since I started adjusting according to the methods in the report, the annoying voice in my head has actually quieted down, and the tearing pain has lessened considerably.
"How are you feeling?" Gong Lin asked with concern, his eyes filled with worry.
"Much better." I smiled at him, my heart filled with gratitude.
"That's good." He reached out and gently stroked my hair. "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'll be with you."
His words were like a warm current flowing through my heart, dispelling my fear and unease.
Looking into his determined eyes, I was deeply moved.
“Let’s go to the training ground.” I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.
"Okay." Gong Lin nodded, took my hand, and we walked out of the room together.
In the training ground for superpowers, I practiced controlling my superpowers again and again, following Instructor Zhao's guidance.
Although I am still somewhat weak, I feel full of strength.
Because I know that no matter what happens, Miya Rin will always be by my side.
"You seem to be in much better spirits today," Professor Zhao said, looking at me.
I smiled and said nothing.
"Keep it up," Professor Zhao encouraged.
I nodded and continued practicing.
After training, Gong Lin and I left the training ground together.
"How are you feeling today?" Gong Lin asked.
“Not bad,” I replied. “The effects of the contract seem to have weakened somewhat.”
"That's good." Gong Lin smiled. "If we work together, we can definitely overcome this difficulty."
I looked at him, my heart filled with hope.
Suddenly, my phone rang; it was a call from the company.
"Hello." I answered the phone.
"Mr. Miao." A slightly familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Is there something you need?" I asked.
"Let's call a meeting with senior management and shareholders tomorrow," the other party said before hanging up.
I looked at my phone, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in my heart...
"What's wrong?" Gong Lin noticed my unusual behavior and asked with concern.
I shook my head. "It's nothing, the shareholders are asking for a meeting tomorrow."
“I’ll go with you,” Gong Lin said.
I looked at him, my heart filled with warmth, and said, "Okay."
Just then, a colleague passed by, saw me and Gong Lin standing together, his eyes darting around, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated...
The next day, I walked into the company with a heavy heart. The air was filled with a depressing atmosphere, which was completely different from the usual hustle and bustle.
I keenly noticed the glances the employees were casting at me—some were filled with doubt, some with curiosity, and even a hint of...
hostility?
My heart sank; it seemed things were more serious than I had imagined.
"Mr. Miao, you've arrived." Secretary Lisa's voice trembled slightly. I noticed that her hand trembled slightly as she handed me the documents, her eyes darting around, and she didn't dare to look me in the eye.
I took the document, my fingertips touching her cold fingers, and a mix of emotions welled up inside me.
Opening the document, one is greeted by the company's recent performance report. The bright red numbers are glaringly obvious, like wounds that reveal the predicament the company is facing.
I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.
"Notify all department managers and shareholders that a meeting will be held in the conference room in ten minutes." My voice was calm and firm, leaving no room for argument.
In the conference room, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.
I looked around, taking in everyone's expressions.
I know they are all waiting for my explanation, waiting for me to give them an answer.
“I know there have been some rumors circulating about me in the company lately,” I said, getting straight to the point. “These rumors are affecting morale and the company’s development. I’m here today to address this issue.”
I presented the new incentive plan that I had prepared beforehand and explained every detail of the plan in detail.
I saw that as I explained, the doubts on their faces gradually disappeared, replaced by a glimmer of hope.
“I know this plan will be difficult to implement,” I paused, my tone becoming even more determined, “but I believe that as long as we are united, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties and restore the company’s former glory!”
As soon as I finished speaking, a round of enthusiastic applause rang out in the conference room.
Looking into their hopeful eyes, I felt a surge of strength within me.
I know that my efforts have not been in vain, and I have successfully stabilized the situation within the company.
As he stepped out of the conference room, Gong Lin was waiting at the door. "How did it go?" he asked with concern.
I smiled at him and said, "It's all set."
He reached out and took my hand, a warm feeling spreading throughout my body. "I knew it, you could do it."
Looking into his gentle eyes, a sweet feeling welled up in my heart.
However, at that moment, I felt a familiar dizziness wash over me, and that childish voice rang in my mind once again...
"I'm hungry……"
Back in the office, that childish voice echoed in my mind again: "You lied just now!"
My heart tightened, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head.
“I didn’t lie,” I tried to remain calm, “I just didn’t tell the whole truth.”
"Hmph! You think you can fool me like this?" The voice was full of sarcasm. "I'm warning you, if you dare to do this again, I'll absorb your energy twice as much!"
My body trembled violently, as if an invisible force had choked me, making it difficult to breathe.
I felt dizzy, and everything in front of me became blurry.
"You..." I gritted my teeth, trying hard to control my emotions, "What exactly do you want?"
"What do I want?" the voice asked with a hint of mockery. "I want you... to completely submit to me!"
My vision went black, and I almost fainted.
A wave of intense fear and despair washed over me, almost suffocating me.
I clenched my fists tightly, my nails digging deep into my palms, feeling the excruciating pain as I tried to stay awake.
No!
I can't give up like this!
I must find a way to break free from this demon's control!
Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Gong Lin walked in.
Seeing that I was pale and looked flustered, he immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened?"
I opened my mouth, wanting to tell him, but I didn't dare to say it.
I'm afraid. I'm afraid he'll distance himself from me because of my special circumstances, afraid he'll treat me like a monster, just like everyone else.
“I…” I hesitated for a moment, then shook my head. “I’m fine, just a little tired.”
Gong Lin looked at me, walked over, and gently pulled me into his arms. His embrace was warm and strong, giving me a sense of security.
“Don’t worry,” he whispered in my ear, “no matter what happens, I will be by your side.”
His words were like a warm current flowing through my heart, dispelling my fear and unease.
I hugged him tightly, my heart filled with gratitude.
“Gong Lin…” I looked up at him, “I…”
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain, as if my soul was being torn apart.
I couldn't help but let out a painful groan, and my body went limp...
"Miao Qing!" Gong Lin called my name anxiously, "What's wrong? Miao Qing!"
I……
