As the images unfolded in the flames, the laughter of the broken goat head echoed continuously in the dark space, creating an eerie atmosphere that was oppressive and terrifying. Every corner seemed to reverberate with the chilling laughter, as if countless eyes in the darkness were watching everything.
Van Loon's parents were clearly startled by this sudden change, as if they had never anticipated such a situation. However, in their fearful and uneasy eyes, Van Loon saw a hint of determination and resolve. They exchanged a glance, conveying an unspoken understanding and perseverance. Finally, they solemnly replied in unison, "Our souls."
goat head once again let out a mournful laugh, seemingly amused by their response. Its laughter seemed to come from another world, filled with mockery and ridicule. It looked at them and said with a smile, "Hahaha, how amusing! Two insignificant souls, trying to exchange for a new life! Did you really think such a trade could get you what you desire?" Its words were full of contempt and disdain, as if toying with the two humans before it.
Van Loon's parents were clearly embarrassed by the mockery, but they still looked firmly at goat head, their eyes showing an unyielding determination. Their hands were tightly clasped together, as if giving each other support and courage. However, their determination seemed to have little effect, as goat head's mocking laughter continued to echo in the room, and the image in the flames began to slowly blur until it disappeared.
The smile of the night shadow appears particularly eerie and indifferent in the pitch-black environment. His eyes shimmer with an almost fanatical light, as if reveling in the shock and loss of control of Van Loon. His smile is filled with a cunning and playful meaning, as if he is admiring the carefully orchestrated drama.
He sneers at Van Loon, a cold arc forming at the corner of his mouth, seemingly enjoying every moment of tragedy and despair. He slowly says, "Do you understand now? Your life was obtained through the exchange of your parents' souls and a goat. Your existence has always been a product of a transaction. Hahaha!" His laughter echoes in the darkness, carrying a sense of indifference and cruelty, evoking an unprecedented fear and despair.
Van Loon felt a kind of shock and confusion that he had never experienced before. His heart was filled with anger and helplessness, unable to understand everything before him, unable to accept such absurd and terrifying facts. He sat on the ground, holding his head, as if trying to drive these unacceptable facts out of his mind. However, no matter how hard he tried, those terrifying images and the mocking words of Night Shadow seemed deeply engraved in his heart, making it impossible for him to forget.
Night Shadow looked at Van Loon's collapse, seeming very satisfied and happy. His laughter grew louder, as if mocking Van Loon's ignorance and helplessness. He seemed to be enjoying it all, enjoying the collapse and despair of Van Loon's soul. A cunning and ecstatic light flashed in his eyes, as if foreseeing more suffering and pain in Van Loon's future.
However, at this moment, Van Loon suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter echoed in the darkness, filled with a sense of helplessness and self-mockery. Shaking his head, he said in resignation, "These two... why are they always so foolish? They actually sacrificed their own souls in exchange for me, a child. Utterly foolish." His laughter was mixed with a blend of bitterness and helplessness, as if mocking his own fate.
Yet, within Van Loon, countless doubts and shock were also churning. Every word spoken by Night Shadow felt like a heavy blow, striking his heart fiercely. His parents had sacrificed such a great price for him. He looked at Night Shadow before him, the incomprehension and shock in his heart turning into helpless calls, "So what now? What do you want to do?" His voice was filled with despair and a thirst for knowledge.
The corner of Night Shadow's mouth lifted into a smug smile, seemingly enjoying the scene before him. He slowly rubbed his hands, his eyes filled with calculation and cunning. He slowly said, "It's simple, I have to fulfill the deal between me and your parents, to take back their souls." His words were filled with indifference and ruthlessness.
Van Loon trembled suddenly, looking at Night Shadow in horror. He couldn't believe that Night Shadow would reclaim his parents' souls at this moment. He urgently said, "No, you can't do this!" His voice was filled with anger and unwillingness.
The night shadow seemed to enjoy Van Loon's reaction. He looked mockingly at Van Loon and said, "What's wrong? It's not like it's your soul being taken back. Besides, it was your parents who volunteered for this deal. You can't blame me." His words were full of sarcasm, as if mocking Van Loon's ignorance and powerlessness.
A strong sense of anger and unwillingness surged in Van Loon's heart. He looked at the night shadow with determination and said, "They sacrificed their souls for me, so I can also offer my soul to balance this deal!" His voice was filled with an unyielding and resolute strength.
It seems that the night shadow has been amused by the response of Van Loon, and a strange light flashes in his eyes. He slowly walks towards Van Loon, as if wanting to take a closer look at the young man in front of him. The corners of his mouth curve into a playful smile, seemingly full of anticipation for what is to come.
