Bab 1023: Section 1023: Devil's Contract!

```

Giant Li's expression was calm when he discussed the price of human life; he showed no hesitation or disquiet.

Shen Yue didn't argue.

This was the truth, cruel as it might sound, it was indeed the truth.

The buying and selling of lives had always been interwoven in the history of humanity, never ceasing, yet humans had always been covering and hiding this truth.

"You must have heard of the tale of the devil's contract," Giant Li finally said.

Shen Yue's heart quivered slightly, "Is the idea of buying lives derived from the devil's contract?"

According to legend, people sold their souls to the devil and then fell into damnation to enjoy worldly pleasures, but in the end, their souls were seized by the devil, condemned to eternal damnation.

Shen Yue thought of this story and immediately considered—it was a fabricated tale, and yet it might well have a basis in reality.
