The last headhunter

Chapter 58 Deterioration
"Shadow. Are you kidding me. What on earth are you trying to do?"

The young man took a few steps back vigilantly, distanced himself from "Dreagu".

"We have always believed that there are many, many things hidden in the shadows of people. Those things that are usually despised, those filth and weakness in human nature, those ashes born in moral suffering and distortion of hope, will be deeply cherished by people. hiding in the shadows."

"So, quietly feeling the shadow of a person can help me understand him well. I am particularly interested. What has become of you now? Dear Headhunter?"

shudder.It seemed that every cell in the body was whining.As an assassin in ancient times, Dleagu must know much more truths than the young man.There was a threatening blade hidden in his words, but it was impossible to guess what the exact meaning was between the lines.This is what the young man worries about the most—everyone hides secrets from him, weaving riddles one after another into a huge net.

But he didn't have any way to deal with it.The road ahead is bumpy and mysterious, and what qualifications do you have to pursue the truth when there is chaos?
"I don't know what you're talking about. If you have already entered your host's memory, it is absolutely impossible not to know the story about me."

"Yeah. But you know it very well in your heart, right? Those are the most superficial 'impressions' and cannot form a comprehensive 'concept'. What's more, how can he know what you are carrying?"

De Leago specially emphasized the word "he", as if he didn't have any sense of identity with this body, and even felt a little disgusted.This is more similar to the contempt of the strong for the weak, and the collapse of the spirit and dignity of the weak.Higgs intends to use this method to tell the "somewhat ecstatic" teenager that you don't have any qualifications to rival the gods.

The boy was lost in thought.He couldn't answer the Ancient One's question.He even felt that he was not qualified to refuse in any form, because he alone could easily crush anyone including Jeska and Michelle.

All this. Is there really room for refutation?

"If I don't agree to you, you can probably take coercive measures. Why don't you do that?"

"Because, it was ordered by Mr. Higgs. You are still useful. I can't do any harm to you before purifying the curse infection of O'an City. You see, even that lonely god still treats you Such a person has mercy."

"Higs he-"

"Our recovery is only short-lived. Therefore, I don't want to waste too much time with you on this issue. It's fine if you don't want to. Your secret will be revealed sooner or later, when that plan is completely exposed to the world. Said To be honest, I don't think you have the confidence to deal with it."

The chubby black figure cast a cold glance, his figure swayed slightly and then disappeared without a trace.The boy only felt that his forehead was wet with cold sweat.Kurster's oppressive force was far greater than the threat he faced in the tavern that day.Fortunately, he didn't continue to press today, otherwise the boy really didn't know how to end it - if he kept refusing, he would not give Higgs face, and if he finally compromised, who knows what kind of secret chips they will use to blackmail and control themselves?
After much thinking, it was impossible for the teenager to make a decision so quickly.

Breathing is finally clear.The depressive feeling of constriction is suddenly as fluffy as bread.This also made Jie Shika, who had been tense all the time, heaved a sigh of relief.The three shadows united to kill the last group of zombies. There was no suspense in this battle. But it did not make people feel the slightest peace.

"This is not a battle won by us. It is based on charity, it is based on possession, and it is Higgs' trick to manipulate believers to gain their spiritual support. I cannot accept this result."

Jessica was a little downcast.For him, the victory of the battle cannot make him feel any excitement.

"This is more like some kind of curse. Even if the three of them are really willing to endure such an experience, I can't imagine it for us who have witnessed it with our own eyes. Even if we die in a glorious way, it is better than being a humble puppet of the gods." live like that."

"However, at least the most desperate result did not happen. You are all still alive."

Michelle stroked her beard and stood there feeling disappointed.What he saw seemed to remind him of many things.

"As long as you are alive, isn't it the most important thing? Just imagine how many innocent people died under this city, and they can't rest in peace after death. Although the Kursters are evil and fierce, they made this battle finally end in suffering. Survival That's what matters."

"Even if it is played in the palm of your hand like an ant?"

Recalling the encounter with Higgs in the underworld, the young man couldn't help asking such a question, which caused the two of them to be silent for a while.When they met at that time, the boy entered the hallucinatory afterimage of the temple as a "chosen hero".He never dreamed that Higgs would trample on his dignity like this—without any real power, all three would return to mortals after the influence of the promotion faded.Is there any meaning to such temporary complacency?
Lord Riel.I can not understand.Is that the future you are leading me to?

------

After the battle, clean up the battlefield.

The three Kursters had restrained their sharpness, but their profuse death energy was still extending outwards like tentacles baring their teeth and claws.They sat quietly on the broken stone pier, watching the young man and his party trying to open up the road among their broken arms and limbs, but they just played with the blade in their hands indifferently.

They didn't hold much enthusiasm for this relatively short spiritual journey.Slaughtering these unconscious zombies will not bring him any sense of accomplishment.In contrast, only the secret about the teenager is attractive.When the glory of the headhunter has long faded and the human race is dying, can he really, as the prophecy said, be able to take on "such a great responsibility"?

Who knows
When he was bored, the corner of Kursk's mouth, named "Lucivir", twitched mysteriously.

"What did you think of?"

De Leago stroked the glove.

"I found something extraordinary. Have you done any research on Lipani, that holy tree town?"

"Of course I know that the original owner of this body went there to ask for help. I also met a hypocritical villain who pretended to be profound and used magic to hide his state. There is no point in asking them for help, it is just a futile struggle."

"Hmm. Here's the interesting part. I guess your slave made an 'agreement' with a mage?"

Agreement
Squinting his eyes, De Leago thought of many pasts.Poor Colin Manch stepped into the teleportation array excitedly, thinking that he could easily obtain the extremely precious golden seed, but he stepped into a trap and was teleported back to this hellish battlefield.Before depriving his soul and taking this body, Isa de Leago could clearly hear the roar of pain, despair, and loss from the sad man.

"Yes. I remember. Even though time has passed for thousands of years, the selfishness and hypocrisy of human beings remain unchanged. What do you want to say when you mention that long-lost agreement? Do you want to show mercy to this stupid believer?"

"That's not true. I feel that it can make a big fuss."

"The last sliver of kindness of a hypocrite. If you can grasp it, it will definitely have a miraculous effect."

The last of the Kursters was the Soul Reaper of Delter, named Ishaan.Both he and Lucifer are famous for their outstanding perception ability, and they are commemorated in the Assassin's Book.And the eldest brother Dleagu is a reckless man who focuses on fighting. Because of this, he can't detect the "interesting things" in the two populations.

"Don't hide. Talk quickly. I don't think it will take long for these guys to clear the way."

Before the words fell, an imperceptible crack appeared in the corner of the space.The violent red storm is filled with lightning and thunder, and if it passes through this layer of clouds and mist, it seems that it can lead to another space.

"See it. This is the space magic that returns to Lipani's big library. The woman kept a hand. The whole battle is his test against Colin Manche. If he can win, this magic will wait for a while Automatically cast the spell, expecting to surprise the poor thing. But in fact, it’s more like a shock.”

"It should have been a very large range - I could take this boy and others to go to the location of the golden seed. I compressed it into a small crack, which can only accommodate one person. I don't think I need to say more Come on, big brother."

Lucifer bowed slightly, making way for Dleague.

"Do it well. Let this be an unexpected gift from our king."

People who pretend to be decent, appear in decent places, see the same kind, and be seen, this is the society of conspirators.

When the crack was closed, it seemed that something warm broke apart in the heart.
