[Description]: “Jack was stingy, cunning, and deceitful. He made a deal with the devil; when the devil came to collect his soul, he forced the devil never to take his soul with a trick. After Jack died, his soul could neither ascend to heaven nor descend to hell, thus his ghost had to rely on a small candle to light his way and wander between heaven and earth.” This originates from an ancient Irish legend.

Miser Jack is a very dangerous fellow, only seeking to gain without giving, even with a contract he would try every means to make the Contractor pay with their life. His energy system is close to that of mutant creatures, presented in the template of mutant creatures for convenience.

“Miser” Jack.

This must be the thing inside Matvey’s body, Shao Zifeng muttered the name to himself.

If he remembered correctly, the pumpkin lantern used during Western Halloween originated from this man’s legend.

He had various speculations about that mass of dark energy, but he never guessed it would be this fellow.

This isn’t scientific at all.

Wait.

Thinking of Mr. Karen’s diary, and his own conclusions from it, the existence of “Miser” Jack suddenly seemed quite reasonable.

The situation seemed a bit tricky.

However, this was also an opportunity.

Shao Zifeng touched the lynx ring on his finger, his eyes flickering with excitement.

…

“Oh? Someone’s following us. What are you still hesitating about?”

“Miser” Jack, looking at the approaching Qiuqiu, turned his head and politely said to Valery, “Just tell me your wish, and I can help you fulfill it.”

“Like this.”

Pop!

“Miser” Jack snapped his fingers, the pumpkin lantern he held surged with light, casting a ghostly green glow.

In Valery’s astonished gaze, numerous tentacle-like apparitions suddenly stretched out from the void.

“Roar!”

The dark gray tentacles tore at the flames covering the gigantic dragon, climbing upward along its legs.

Under this harassment, the dragon roared and struggled constantly.

“Have you decided?”

“You see, dealing with mutant creatures of this level poses absolutely no difficulty for me.”

Miser Jack’s beguiling voice rose; Valery, focused on Qiuqiu, did not sense his strangeness.

If he looked at “Miser” Jack again, he would find that Jack’s figure had become even more ethereal, and his complexion had grown paler.

Even the ghostly green flame within the pumpkin lantern had dimmed significantly.

Watching the hesitant Valery, “Miser” Jack grew somewhat anxious.

Yet, he kept blaming the previous contractor, Matvey.

If it weren’t for that guy’s overly strong will for revenge, he wouldn’t have been trapped inside the body like a dairy cow, constantly drained of life energy.

After the last contract was completed, not only did he not gain extra life energy, but Matvey even extracted quite a bit more from him.

This almost caused him unable to reassemble his body.

For “Miser” Jack, this was a disgraceful humiliation.

Therefore, he now urgently needed to sign the next contract to absorb more life energy.

“Roar!”

Watching the fire dragon struggle under the dark grey tentacles, Valery gritted his teeth.

“I want to leave this place, can you do that?”

After much consideration, Valery decided to try it.

He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, and getting something meant paying a price.

Thus, he tentatively mentioned a trivial wish, thinking he could afford the cost of it.

“As you wish.”

“Miser” Jack was very excited, snapping his fingers again.

An ancient sheepskin scroll phantom appeared in mid-air.

On the dirty sheepskin scroll, written in blood were strange symbols that Matvey did not recognize.

At the signature place, it was densely packed with countless fingerprints.

“Please leave your fingerprint here.”

The moment he saw the sheepskin scroll, Valery felt some hesitation.

But with things as they were, he hardened his heart, bit his thumb, and pressed it on the phantom of the sheepskin scroll.

The moment Valery’s blood touched it, the sheepskin scroll started burning from below.

Green flames carrying unspeakable power made Valery increasingly uneasy.

“Miser” Jack took a deep breath and showed an intoxicated expression, “Mr. Valery, the contract is sealed.”

After saying that, his face revealed a sinister smile and transformed into a puff of black smoke that burrowed into Valery’s forehead.

Valery only felt a chill on his forehead as a blood-red mark of a goat’s hoof flashed by.

He stood frozen on the spot, receiving the content of the contract.

Suddenly, his expression turned fierce.

“Bastard!!”

“You actually dare to deceive me!!”

His eyes were bloodshot, and his furious roar echoed in the snowy plains’ cold wind.

This contract was anything but fair; no matter how minor his wish, he would eventually pay with his life.

At that moment, Valery started shouting uncontrollably and furiously, venting his anger.

“Mr. Valery, the contract is now effective, and I will expedite your departure from this damned place,”

“I must say, Mr. Valery’s life energy is indeed strong; I can hardly wait to get it,”

“Miser” Jack’s voice resonated in his heart, filled with joy.

As soon as he finished speaking, Valery felt his legs disobey him, covered in dark grey runes.

“You want my life!” Valery gritted his teeth: “We’ll both go down together then.”

Saying this, he abruptly pulled out the whistle to control mutant creatures, carelessly placing it to his lips and blowing into it.

“Boom!”

In mid-air, the fireball struggling among the dark grey tentacles suddenly contracted, with strands of purplish-red particles entwined in the flames.

“Roar–”

A dangerous aura exploded forth!
