The son of the devil, born black, super black.
This was something Luo Chong couldn't decide.
Putting aside the matter of the life force field for now, it was time to activate another function of the devil's left eye: the Soul Devouring Space.
"Still need a person's life energy to activate it, little master, do you agree?" Bubble asked.
"Agree, let's activate it."
Luo Chong nodded and prepared himself for the burning sensation in his eye socket, but after a few seconds, he felt no pain. Instead, a cool sensation surged in his head, and he naturally 'saw' a special space that wasn't very large.
A circular platform with a diameter of six meters, the ground was engraved with incredibly complex strange patterns and characters, hinting at some mysterious laws, which Luo Chong couldn't understand at all.
At the center was a demonic head with a fierce face. It seemed to be motionless one moment, and the next, it appeared to have changed slightly, different from what he had just seen.
It might just be an illusion...
The circular platform was surrounded by thick fog, gray-black and extremely dense, layer upon layer. Luo Chong's 'vision' couldn't penetrate it at all.
"Is this platform the Soul Devouring Space?" Luo Chong asked softly.
"Yes," Bubble replied. "However, it's just in its most primitive state. As the little master's strength increases, you'll need to feed it more life energy for it to gradually expand and become larger. For now, it's enough."
Looking at this cylindrical enclosed space with a diameter of six meters and a height of about six meters, Luo Chong had a sudden idea and immediately asked, "Besides being able to grab living people to devour, can non-living things be brought in?"
"Of course," Bubble answered. "If non-living things couldn't come in, how would you handle the clothes and items in the pockets of the prey? They would naturally come in with the prey."
"That means..."
Luo Chong was overjoyed, his eyes filled with boundless anticipation and excitement, instantly forgetting his previous indignation: "This space is equivalent to a storage space, can it be used to store things?"
"Of course."
Bubble gave him a look of disdain, rarely seen: "If a powerful magical tool like the Devil's Eye didn't have the most basic storage function, that would be ridiculous, wouldn't it?"
As a devil, she had seen all kinds of storage tools in hell and didn't find anything noteworthy, but for Luo Chong, such storage tools from fantasy novels were like super magical items in reality.
"Such a large space, how much can it hold? In the future, I won't need to hire a moving company to move house..."
With these thoughts in mind, Luo Chong picked up a water cup from the table and thought: Go in!
It was effortless. After activation, the Soul Devouring Space was officially recognized by its owner. All Luo Chong had to do was think, and he could send things in or take them out.
Go in!
Come out!
"Ha ha ha ha..."
In just a few seconds, Luo Chong tested it more than ten times, the glass cup disappearing and reappearing in his hand...
Then, he tried with his backpack, old clothes, flashlight, computer chair, and even a wardrobe over two meters tall, which he could smoothly send into the Soul Devouring Space. However, the wardrobe was too heavy. When putting it in, he only needed to touch it lightly with his palm to do it silently, but when taking it out, due to his lack of strength, he couldn't hold it, and it crashed to the ground with a loud thud, nearly breaking it and almost crushing his left foot.
Seeing Luo Chong crazily trying to put various things in and out of the space, Bubble found it quite boring. She sat on the computer desk, swinging her chubby legs for a long time before finally saying, "My little master, stop playing, it's so boring. Let me tell you, as long as the object's volume doesn't exceed the Soul Devouring Space, no matter what it is or how heavy it is, it can be stored."
"Okay, I understand."
Luo Chong was extremely excited. Getting such a treasure, it would be strange if he could remain calm. He asked her, "The life energy of three humans has been used up by you, the True Sight Eye, and the Soul Devouring Space. It's impossible to activate any other functions. What do you think we should do next?"
"Of course, go out and find more targets to hunt, devour more life energy to strengthen your body."
Bubble said loudly, "Little master, don't be so unmotivated, okay? Even without the demon lord's order to kill ten people in three months, you should try to collect as many souls as possible. On this planet, there are lots of money, beautiful women, and precious jewels waiting for you to take, but the prerequisite is that you must become strong as soon as possible."
"I'm not unmotivated, okay?"
Luo Chong sat on his single bed, sighing softly, "An hour ago, I was just an ordinary street vendor, a nobody who didn't even finish high school. Such a big change, I need some time to adapt, right?"
"When will you adapt?"
Bubble pouted, muttering, "Bubble hopes to see you make a lot of money so she can enjoy life in this world. Being stuck in this small room is too boring."
"Let me think..."
Luo Chong lowered his head, pondering carefully. A few minutes later, he made a decision: "Okay, I've chosen my first target. But before that, there are some trivial matters that need to be handled properly."
"No problem, Bubble will help you!"
Bubble waved her trident and immediately became excited.
Such a little devil, her responsibility was to constantly tempt and seduce her master, regardless of whether it was good or bad. The most important thing was that the little master should become strong as soon as possible, making her life more exciting...
Half an hour later, Luo Chong went out, first to his stall at the seaside scenic area. Since he didn't set up the stall today, his spot was naturally empty.
"Luo Chong, are you okay?"
A few familiar stall owners immediately gathered around. Uncle Wang, a warm-hearted person with good relations in the area, asked with concern, "Those three guys didn't beat you up, did they?"
"No."
Luo Chong shook his head, deliberately showing a dejected and listless appearance, and sighed softly, "Uncle Wang, Sister Zhang, you've seen it. They come to cause trouble every few days, each time worse than the last. I really can't continue here, and it might even affect your business."
This wasn't just polite talk. If they came and defecated here every few days, Luo Chong would have to endure the disgust and clean it up, and the surrounding stalls would also feel disgusted and discouraged. Business people are especially particular about such things, even for a small business like a street stall.
After two months of interaction, Uncle Wang and others had seen Luo Chong's difficulties. Honestly, if it happened to them, they wouldn't be able to continue such a business.
Uncle Wang probed, "Luo Chong, do you mean you don't want to continue this stall?"
"Um."
Luo Chong nodded and replied, "I want to transfer it and find a place where they can't find me to work honestly. Uncle Wang, the person I offended is very rich, and we ordinary people can't compete with him."
"Yes, yes, the poor shouldn't fight with the rich, you should indeed hide for a while."
Uncle Wang spoke frankly, "If this continues, if those guys stab you, you'll really be in trouble. Luo Chong, I agree with your decision. If you really want to transfer the stall, I can find a buyer for you within a week. The transfer fee should be at least 30,000 yuan."
"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Wang. Please help me with this. When it's settled, call me, and I'll come to handle the procedures."
Luo Chong agreed quite readily.
Don't underestimate these stalls at the seaside scenic area. In fact, many people are looking for such opportunities. Two months ago, his mother had to seek help and connections to get this stall, spending over 20,000 yuan. So, the 30,000 yuan transfer fee Uncle Wang mentioned was quite reasonable.
With the Devil's Eye, his life would no longer be ordinary, and he couldn't continue to run a street stall.
Moreover, on the surface, he was being forced out by Baldy, Red Hair, and the others, making him a victim. In a few days, if their relatives reported them missing to the police, even if the police came to him, he would have a reason to defend himself: "I'm the victim, I hope they suffer, but as an ordinary person, I don't have the ability to make them mysteriously disappear..."
Yes, that's how it should be said.
After entrusting Uncle Wang with the seaside stall, Luo Chong took the bus to the city's electronics market.
The purpose of coming here was to buy a stun gun!
Although stun guns are prohibited, they are almost openly sold in the electronics market, openly displayed on the counters.
However, the less powerful ones are mostly in the shape of flashlights, while the more powerful ones are kept in cabinets.
The prices are really cheap. A plastic 'flashlight' can discharge several thousand volts and costs only 90 yuan; a metal one is slightly more expensive, over 100 yuan, and can discharge several hundred thousand volts.
If it reaches a million volts, one shock can knock down a large man and even cause heart stoppage, brainstem nerve paralysis, and respiratory arrest, which can be life-threatening, especially for those with weak bodies, like heart disease. One shock could even kill them.
So, for law-abiding citizens, this thing shouldn't be used without reason, but sometimes, women who work night shifts and walk at night can carry one in their bags. It's better to harm the criminal than to be harmed by them.
Of course, if you lack courage and drop it when you take it out, and the criminal grabs it, the consequences could be...
This can't be judged by right or wrong, it varies from person to person. After all, a kitchen knife is used to cut vegetables, but it can also be used to hurt people.
In the United States, guns are not banned, and the more decent and honest people can easily buy various firearms, which are much more powerful than stun guns, yet they don't live in misery.
So, the tools don't create evil, it's the human heart that does.
Luo Chong spent over a thousand yuan to buy three of the best quality and highest power stun guns, the kind that can knock down a large man with one shock.
The next step was to find a target, but he had to subdue the target and make them lose their ability to resist before grabbing them into the Soul Devouring Space of the devil's left eye.
For now, Luo Chong had no way to buy more powerful weapons, so he could only use stun guns...
