Chapter 243 Split the Hospital
The Iron Knight's situation attracted everyone's attention.
Before this, the Iron Knight's cold, taciturn but fighting ability were deeply rooted in people's hearts, and no one thought that she would fall at this time.
No external force is present now.
There was no other possibility that the Iron Knights would suffer serious damage except for something happening to the Pope.
In the live broadcast room, the audience was no less shocked than Xu Zhiyan and his companions.
[What's going on? Did someone launch an attack? Or did the dog system arrange some new random method, such as making the player faint randomly? ]
[What are you thinking, above? Fainting randomly in a place like this? Why don't you just let the system draw lots to randomly kill people?]
[It's the Pope. Something happened to the Pope! ]
[But the two of them were so far apart, why did the Iron Knight get into trouble? ]
On the other side, the battle between the Pope and the mad dog has come to an end.
Sezier was lying on the ground, bleeding from the wounds on his body. His arms were chopped off and broken into irregular pieces.
The young man holding the double-edged knife was still standing.
Xinan's condition was also very bad. The wound on his chest, which was obtained in sacrifice to make himself one with the weapon, cracked during the fight. If it weren't for the status blessing, he would be dead now.
At this moment, he was looking curiously at the body of Sezier that he had just cut off.
Just like the Pope seeing a mad dog being sacrificed, he was puzzled when he saw the human tissue still showing after the blood was drained from the body.
"strangeness."
"Why haven't you changed yet?"
As he said this, he swung the double-headed knife and cut off Saizier's shoulder.
The Pope, who was lying on the ground with a weak breath, reacted slightly to the pain. His expression was not one of fear, but only of displeasure.
"Do you think... you can kill me?"
His internal organs were damaged and blood flowed from the corners of Sezier's mouth, but he smiled instead.
“Hahahahahaha…”
"You don't really think you can kill me!"
He laughed so loudly that tears and blood flowed out together, and he looked extremely terrifying.
"I will not die."
"As long as Zoffy is still alive..."
A mixture of pain and excitement appeared on Sezier's face. Probably wanting the mad dog to give up, he roared out his last trump card.
"When I suffer a life-threatening injury, my fate will be linked to hers."
Although the Iron Knight would be affected to a certain extent, he knew very well that the Iron Knight would definitely choose armor. Even if he fell into a short coma, he would not be injured by basic monsters. In this dungeon, except for Xinan, no one else would kill indiscriminately...
"As long as the Iron Knight survives, I won't die!"
He spent years strengthening the Iron Knight's body, equipped his Iron Knight with the best weapons and equipment, and paid double the money when Xu Zhiyan blackmailed him...
Everything that Sezier did to benefit Zoffy was just to make this "insurance" more secure.
And today is the time for the Iron Knight to come into play.
He rolled his eyes and smiled.
"Physical pain is nothing to me."
As long as he doesn't die, he can live forever. The worst that can happen is that he will just have to change his body!
Xinan was stunned for a moment.
But he didn't ask any more questions.
Then, he continued to move the knife as usual, one cut after another, trying to cut the guy in front of him into pieces.
…
When the audience's attention returned to Xu Zhiyan again, the Iron Knight had woken up from his brief coma.
The dim light was obscured by the figure, and Zoffy punched subconsciously.
"Bang--"
A huge impact force came, and before Jiang Huaique could see clearly, he was knocked away by a punch, and his whole body was embedded in the monster wall.
This action stunned everyone around.
Looking at the big hole created by the smash, Xu Zhiyan, who was standing up to take out his pocket, was still frightened. Jiang Huai was waiting for the place where he had squatted before.
How come the Iron Knight is still so energetic even though he is unconscious!
"Brother Jiang! Are you okay?" Yu Xiu quickly stood up, ran to pull out the Jiang Huai partridge from the pit in the wall, and cleaned up the monster at the same time.
"Cough... cough cough... grass!"
Jiang Huai Que is stupid when he stands up.
"Are you fucking sick? I should have let you die there. You've almost smashed my fucking brain."
He cursed and glared at the Iron Knight who had sat up, veins bulging on his forehead.
"Fuck, we just saw you fainted and wanted to check on you. Damn, there are monsters all over this place, who knows if you'd get into a stampede. If I had known earlier, I would have just let you die here."
Rubbing his chest where he was punched, Jiang Huaique staggered back.
But this time, even though he cursed, he stood much more cautiously and did not approach the Iron Knight easily.
Hearing these words, the Iron Knight was slightly stunned.
“Thank…thank you.”
She was a little helpless in thanking him, and it was obvious that she was also a little confused by this sudden situation.
But then, the Iron Knight had no time to care about anything else.
A severe pain came rushing over me.
She felt as if her body was breaking apart, with countless sharp blades and knives scraping at her bone marrow, and even her internal organs were twisted in pain.
However, when she lowered her head, she saw her intact body.
As if he had thought of something, the Iron Knight endured the pain as if he was being cut into pieces, and stood up by supporting himself on the ground.
"Your Majesty the Pope..."
She looked around, her eyes filled with confusion and fear.
This was the triggering of the deepest bond between her and the Pope. At this moment, the two of them had empathy, and she took on some of the pain that the Pope was experiencing.
After realizing that the Pope was in danger, the Iron Knight didn't care about the players in front of him. He said goodbye to them and left in a hurry.
Xu Zhiyan, holding hydrogen peroxide and bandages in his hands, looked at the Iron Knight's hurried back, feeling lost.
"Hey, I thought I could sell my friend something. She's really rich and generous."
Jiang Huaique, who was standing by, couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing this.
"Xu Ba Pi, are you okay?"
The Iron Knight is the Pope's subordinate, and the Pope wants to kill Xu Zhiyan. At this critical juncture, this guy is still thinking about making money?
"Jiang Jiang, don't be so angry. The old iron man is quite nice. It was thanks to her that I was able to complete the last round of tasks quickly and well. Don't hold grudges." Xu Zhiyan waved his hand indifferently.
The Iron Knight is very principled.
Although it is unclear why she would work for the Pope, this does not prevent Xu Zhiyan from wanting to steal the Pope's girl.
Jiang Huaique rolled his eyes. He had a hundred curse words in his mind but didn't know which one to say first.
Then he asked about Xiao Liu.
However, before they could finish their conversation, the Iron Knight's hurried figure appeared in front of them again.
"Why are you in front of me?"
There was a hint of shock in her voice.
“…”
Xu Zhiyan and Jiang Huaique were both silent.
The maze magnified the Iron Knight's lack of direction, making her feel helpless.
Only Yu Xiu was honest and shook his head to explain: "We are resting and not moving around."
"Thanks."
After expressing his thanks, the Iron Knight turned around and left again.
Ten minutes later.
When Xu Zhiyan and his companions finished resting on the spot and began to shake the unconscious Xiao Liu, the Iron Knight got lost for the fifth time and returned to this place.
Looking at the dumbfounded Iron Knight, Xu Zhiyan suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Huaique with contempt: "Jiang, you are not...so directionally challenged, are you? It's okay, Dad, I won't tell anyone. When the dungeon is out, you can treat me to a meal as hush money."
Jiang Huaiqie was furious and rolled up his sleeves, wanting to beat up his unlucky teammate.
"You're the one with a fucking poor sense of direction. When she walked with me, she wasn't this bad at direction!"
Xu Zhiyan did not dodge, but smiled and leaned close to Jiang Huaique's ear, and asked in a low voice: "One question, can you beat her?"
His expression was relaxed, but his voice was solemn.
Jiang Huai realized that his teammate, the King of Ideas, seemed to have some new plan. He glanced at the Iron Knight who was leaving again, recalled for a while, and replied in a low voice: "She is in a very bad state now."
After fainting, the Iron Knight's condition began to decline sharply.
Just now when they met again, even though they were far away, he could hear the Iron Knight's heavy breathing, and her footsteps became heavier. After the power was gone, this indestructible armor actually hindered her.
"Now, we're fifty-fifty."
"But in a little while, I can kill her."
Jiang Huaique has never been a naive person. He is not afraid of killing, nor will he show mercy to the other party just because they have said a few words to each other, because in the infinite game, being soft-hearted will only put people in a passive situation.
Xu Zhiyan nodded, expressing his satisfaction with the answer: "Very good, you are worthy of it, Daddy's love for you is not in vain!"
"Xu Baopi, if you don't talk too much, you will die!"
Breaking away from the solemn conversation instantly, Jiang Huaique's mouth twitched, and he raised his fist to hit Xu Zhiyan.
With Jiang Huaique's fighting power as a foundation, when the Iron Knight came back again, Xu Zhiyan stopped him.
"My friend, are you looking for the Pope?"
He gave a kind smile, making himself look more sincere.
"You probably can't get out by yourself. If you are willing to pay me a little, I can take you out of this area..."
Seeing the Iron Knight's eyes fall on him, Xu Zhiyan coughed lightly.
"The basic package costs 100,000 points, and I will take you out of this area. The intermediate package costs 200,000 points, and I will not only take you out of this area, but I will also try my best to help you find the right path. The advanced package costs 500,000 points, and I and my teammates will do our best to help you find the Pope."
Seeing that the Iron Knight was about to say something else, Xu Zhiyan put his finger to his lips.
"Shh, I'm not finished yet."
"If you are willing to give me an additional one million points on top of the five hundred thousand, I will give you a mysterious gift. I'm not sure if you will be satisfied with it, but I am quite satisfied with my gift anyway."
Without waiting for the Iron Knight to answer, Jiang Huaique looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Xu Baopi, are you an idiot? How could you..."
"I'll give you one and a half million."
The Iron Knight's words rang out at the same time, forcing Jiang Huaique to swallow the remaining words.
What's going on! How could anyone be fooled by Xu Zhiyan!
He looked at Xu Zhiyan, then at the Iron Knight, his eyes swinging back and forth between the two. This huge deal was completed too easily, and suddenly Jiang Huaique realized that maybe he was too poor?
In this way, the Iron Knight and four other people set out on the journey to find the Pope.
In the live broadcast room, the audience had similar senses to Jiang Huaique.
[I want to know now how rich the Iron Knight is. ]
[You shouldn't ask how rich the soldering iron is, you should ask how rich the Pope is. It's normal for auxiliary players to want to make some money! ]
[One million and five hundred thousand, my god, that’s one million and five hundred thousand points!! Converted into real-world currency, that’s thirty million!]
[This may not be a huge sum for a brander or a small millionaire, but it is really high for me. Damn it, is this the difference between human beings? I want to be rich too! ! ]
[…Hey, but what should Xiao Baiwan do? If he really finds the Pope, won’t he be killed by him?]
[Is it okay to just not find it on purpose? Damn, you see, the soldering iron is really a good person!!!]
[The soldering iron is real. I cried to death.]
In the picture, Yu Xiu is walking at the front of the team.
Because he was lucky, he took on the responsibility of being a guide.
In the middle of the team, Xu Zhiyan briefly handed the task of dragging Xiaoliu to the Iron Knight.
Seeing that the other party was not good at speaking and just obeyed the request, Xu Zhiyan ignored Jiang Huaique's shocked expression and followed the Iron Knight, asking him questions indirectly.
"My friend, how did you get to know Boss Sai? How much did he pay you to work so hard for him?"
The Iron Knight is indeed in bad shape.
If it were any other day, she might have chosen to refuse in silence, or even to decline verbally, but today, the painful experience bound to her soul made her irritated.
"Xu Zhiyan, I will not betray the Pope."
She rejected the olive branch bluntly and clearly without showing any mercy.
"If I betray the Pope now, aren't you afraid that I will betray you in the future?"
In the Iron Knight's opinion, no matter who hears this rejection, they should give up and leave immediately.
Who knew Xu Zhiyan was so thick-skinned.
Hearing the rejection, he was not angry, but nodded seriously: "I'm not afraid, of course I'm not afraid! If someone offers a higher price than me, it's normal for you to be poached!"
"you……"
The Iron Knight was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
The atmosphere became awkward.
Seeing this, Xu Zhiyan calmly moved on to the next topic.
"So besides money, Saizier gave you something else, right?"
A strong and loyal fighter like the Iron Knight is not easy to find. He was curious about the past of Sezier and Zoffy.
"I know you changed your name. You were not called Zoffy before you entered the Infinite Game."
"You checked me?"
There was a hint of coldness in the Iron Knight's voice.
"Don't be angry. You are ranked so high, it's normal to sell your information on the black market. I just happened to buy a copy." Xu Zhiyan quickly distanced himself from the matter.
"I also bought what the Pope did in the real world from the black market."
The Iron Knight relaxed a little.
Once you enter the rankings, there will be countless eyes staring at you, which is normal.
Then, under Xu Zhiyan's persistent pestering, she finally became impatient and revealed some information.
"The Pope needs me."
"Before that, I was someone who was not needed."
She spoke vaguely about her past and was very calm about the suffering that had become a thing of the past.
Zoffy has three older sisters and one younger brother.
Before she met Sezier, she was a superfluous presence at home.
"My family only spoke to me when they needed money, but that was all in the past. When they knew I might have a terminal illness, they blocked my contact information."
She downplayed what she had experienced and compressed it into a few short sentences.
“My terminal illness could be fake.”
“But it got me out of a lot of stuff.”
Zoffy didn't mind Sezier's misdiagnosis. Before she met Sezier, she always felt that the meaning of her life was to send money to her family, or to be sucked dry.
She wasn't as determined then as she is now.
"The Pope gave me a new name and showed me a wider world."
It also gave her a new meaning to live.
Xu Zhiyan listened quietly.
Although the Iron Knight did not elaborate, he still vaguely outlined the Iron Knight's life in the real world before entering the Infinite Game.
Throughout her not-so-long life, she lived for others from beginning to end.
"Then have you ever thought that one day you can live for yourself?" Xu Zhiyan's question was not sharp, but it caused a brief silence.
After a while, he heard the Iron Knight's answer.
"If there is an afterlife, I would like to live for myself."
Zoffy's voice remained firm throughout, even though she was suffering from pain that others could not bear.
"But now, I need to repay His Holiness the Pope."
She is the Pope's most loyal sword and the Pope's indestructible iron wall.
After listening to this, Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips and said nothing.
Suddenly, Yu Xiu, who was clearing the way ahead, shouted in surprise: "Brother Xu! I found the dog hair! Xiaoyi should have stayed nearby!"
On Yu Xiu's palm lay a tuft of long golden hair.
This means that Jin Sheng had passed by here before.
Xiaoyi, as Jinsheng's life animal, does not shed its hair. It is obvious that Jinsheng forcibly pulled the dog's hair and left it as a signal.
“Maybe Brother Jin and Xiaoyi are just ahead!”
Yu Xiu was very excited.
Xiaoyi had not been able to find them before, so he was very worried and suspected that Jinsheng had encountered some trouble. You know, although this is a maze, with Xiaoyi here, they should be able to find them easily.
Xu Zhiyan turned his head to glance at the Iron Knight, then looked up at the intersection where he saw Goumao.
Something is wrong.
Isn't there too much dog hair? Wouldn't it make a small bald spot on Xiaoyi's head?
Where does this road on the right lead to? What is the meaning of Jin Sheng leaving this tuft of dog hair? Is it a danger or a clue? All of this is unknown now.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Xu Zhiyan cleared his throat and spoke to the Iron Knight first.
"My friend, I think this place shouldn't be that dangerous. It will be good for you to find our teammate first. He has a dog that can help you find the Pope in the maze faster."
After thinking it over, Xu Zhiyan decided that he should follow the route marked by Jinsheng.
Now he has two great fighting forces, the Iron Knight and the Male Mother, sitting beside him. If Goumao represents danger, then it should not be a problem for these two to join forces. If he represents Jinsheng and walks over here, then it will be a good opportunity to gather all the teammates!
No matter how you calculate it, it’s not a loss.
However, when the five people walked in here, the smell of blood became stronger.
A strange and ominous premonition surged into Xu Zhiyan's heart, and the feeling that he was going to be unlucky again made him hesitate in his steps.
In the live broadcast room, the audience probably didn't expect that there could be someone in the world who could be so unlucky.
[Fuck! I take it back! The Pope's luck isn't that bad.]
[Is Xiao Baiwan really the spokesperson for Lucky F? 】
[There were so many roads, but he chose the one with dog hair...]
[Awesome, but Mad Dog is still making slices of the Pope. In a sense, Little Million has completed the deal with Branding Iron.]
[Hahahaha, this is such a huge loss of money, Xiao Baiwan has lost a ton of money! ]
[Indeed, Mad Dog is already at the end of his strength. After the Iron Knight goes up and kills Mad Dog, Little Million will be in trouble.]
[But the soldering iron seems to be in poor condition. I don’t know if it’s my illusion. ]
The blood prompted several people to slow down.
Only the Iron Knight's steps remain firm.
When the few people turned the corner and saw the scene in the space, almost no one could believe their eyes.
The Pope's arms and left leg were cut into small pieces and scattered around.
But he is still alive.
The rest of his body was almost completely soaked in a pool of blood. Judging from the amount of blood, there was not much blood left in this body. Although Saizier was weak, his expression remained calm.
He was not afraid of physical pain.
He knew clearly that he would not die.
Xinan was holding the knife without moving.
As if he was tired of cutting, he stopped after one end of the double-edged knife pierced into the Pope's abdomen, with a hint of unwillingness in his expression.
They both noticed the person coming at the same time.
The Pope suddenly laughed.
"Mad Dog! It seems like Lady Luck is on my side!"
The mad dog's body is not far from death, so it should be more than enough to kill Zoffy even if he is in poor condition.
"As long as Zoffy is alive, I won't die!"
He coughed up blood while laughing, but when he saw the figures of the other people appearing behind the Iron Knight, his expression paused for a moment and he was a little stunned.
"Bang!"
The Iron Knight subconsciously let go of her hand, and Xiaoliu's head hit the floor with a loud bang, but she couldn't care less at the moment, and didn't even have time to say a word.
The next second, a figure in steel armor rushed forward.
"boom--"
Xinan was knocked out!
Before the Iron Knight could kill the mad dog, Xu Zhiyan winked at Jiang Huaique.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Huai Que, who had not taken any action since entering the split maze, also jumped into the battlefield!
He maintains very good physical strength and condition.
"Kill them all?" Jiang Huai asked.
Now is the best time to kill the Pope and the Iron Knight.
Although he didn't hate Zoffy, if he let these two go, there was a chance that the Pope would continue to hunt down Xu Zhiyan.
Of course, the lives of his teammates are more important than the Iron Knight's life!
As for Mad Dog, this guy is notorious for his madness and indiscriminate killing. If he can kill someone here, it would be considered as getting rid of a harm to the people.
But it all depends on Xu Zhiyan's intention.
Jiang Huaiqie has absolute trust in his teammates.
When seeing the miserable appearance of the Pope and the dying mad dog, Xu Zhiyan was no less shocked than anyone else.
But he reacted quickly.
"Half dead, just restrict movement."
The smoke and dust cleared, and Xinan, who was knocked away, did not stand up. Only the figures of Jiang Huaique and the Iron Knight fighting were left on the wall.
Although the Iron Knight said nothing, her anger was almost overflowing at this moment.
Sparks flew when their weapons collided, and the sound was deafening.
Xu Zhiyan took two steps forward, scratched his hair, and said a little embarrassedly: "My friend, our deal is basically done."
All he had promised was to find the Pope, nothing more.
He took two or three steps to the side of the Pope, crouched down close to the Pope, and gave him a thumbs up: "Lao Tie is a very good subordinate. She will not betray you no matter how much I offer."
"……Oh."
Saiziye snorted coldly.
"So look at this, how much would it cost to sell this subordinate to me?"
"???"
Saizier was dumbfounded.
He didn't understand why Xu Zhiyan was still thinking about stealing his girl at this time. Every time he met this bastard, he would refresh his perception.
"Get lost." He squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
Xu Zhiyan shrugged indifferently and started asking about other things. The sound of fighting became his background music.
"Have you ever met Jin Sheng?"
"boom--"
The Iron Knight and Jiang Huai Partridge fought fiercely.
"That's the one with the little golden retriever. His dog is very smart. It is said that he has finished learning pinyin and has started to memorize English words."
“clang!”
The sickle and the metal dagger collided violently.
"Boss Sai, why don't you say anything?"
"Bang-bang-bang-"
Xu Zhiyan leaned over and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Do your followers know about the bad things you did in this world? For example, you deliberately dragged people into the game after misdiagnosis."
Although he would rather make this matter public so that the victims can know the truth.
But these people have already entered the infinite game...
Xu Zhiyan couldn’t imagine whether these players who were forced into the game and hovering on the line between life and death would collapse when they learned that they didn’t have a terminal illness and could have lived an ordinary, normal and stable life.
He didn't want to be the one who caused the victim's mental breakdown, but he also felt that the victim should know the truth, so he came up with a compromise - posting the information on the black market and selling it.
The asking price is low and the name won’t be too conspicuous.
It is difficult to have the best of both worlds. Xu Zhiyan is not a savior, nor does he want to be one. Whether the Pope's victims can buy it depends entirely on their fate.
Sezier listened but did not answer.
But the situation is obviously not good now.
His condition seriously affected the Iron Knight, especially his chopped-off hands and feet. The feeling of emptiness and severe pain made the Iron Knight's movements slow down, and he was supported by his amazing willpower.
Soon, the Iron Knight realized that as her strength faded, the heavy armor became a burden to her.
After failing to dodge the attack and being hit hard by the scythe, she took a few steps back and reached out to throw away the helmet of her armor.
“Bang—”
Jiang Huaique looked at the Iron Knight who took off his helmet and suddenly stopped what he was doing.
He was waiting, waiting for the Iron Knight to get rid of all the burdens - of course, she couldn't get rid of the biggest one, the Pope.
After a moment, the Iron Knight went into battle lightly equipped, with only a short sword in his hand, which was a matching attack weapon for his armor.
Jiang Huaique did not hesitate. He waved to call Yu Xiu over, threw the sickle in his hand into Yu Xiu's arms, and took the opponent's A-level prop dagger.
The Iron Knight did not attack.
The two reached a strange tacit understanding.
Jiang Huai made a knife flower, but before attacking, he couldn't help but say, "Your weakness is related to the Pope. If you choose to give up on him, it will be difficult for me to defeat you."
He was very confident in the Iron Knight's abilities.
If Xu Zhiyan wants to kill the Pope, then this may be the Iron Knight's last battle.
But the Iron Knight has a different view on this.
"These powerful forces come from the cultivation of the Pope."
Without the Pope and those permanent enhancement skills, she would not have become as strong as she is now, so abandoning him is a paradox for her.
"You are a respectable opponent."
The two looked at each other, and a new round of fighting began.
Xu Zhiyan squatted beside Saizier, acting as a qualified spectator.
After more than ten minutes of fighting, the battle came to an end.
Jiang Huaique turned his face away and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
His dagger pierced the Iron Knight's chest, nailing him to the ground.
Without looking at the Iron Knight again, he returned to Yu Xiu and took back his sickle. His expression was solemn and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
Xu Zhiyan could tell at a glance that Jiang Huaique was sulking because he defeated the Iron Knight when he was weak. Although he didn't understand why the other party was angry, it did not hinder his next plan.
"Is it over?"
He stood up and clapped his hands, with a gentle smile on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Stepping over the Pope's mutilated body, Xu Zhiyan came to the side of the Iron Knight.
"My friend, I didn't want things to turn out like this, but don't worry, Jiang Jiang has beaten you like this, I won't recruit you again."
Xu Zhiyan's tone was always relaxed.
He fished out the golden lynx.
The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the Iron Knight's heart.
Zoffy's expression was not calm, there was still pleading in her eyes, but the blood loss and weakness made her unable to utter anything.
Xu Zhiyan hesitated and did not pull the trigger. Instead, he turned around and asked the Pope.
"Boss Sai, I have a question. If I tell you that if you sever your fate connection with Lao Tie now, I will let Lao Tie live, would you be willing to do so?"
The Pope gave an irrelevant answer.
"I'll give you one million points, just don't kill me."
The Iron Knight used up his last bit of strength and begged sincerely, "Please, please let the Pope go."
Xu Zhiyan listened to the voice behind him and his expression gradually fell.
He walked quickly to the Pope and nudged his cheek with his golden lynx, his tone full of doubt: "Are you not even willing to make assumptions?"
At this point, Sai Qiye concluded that Xu Zhiyan would not let him live, and snorted coldly.
"…How much money do you want to let me go?"
In his eyes, this was the only way to impress Xu Zhiyan. As for the Iron Knight, the vitality that had been drained away would never be returned, and the Iron Knight was already useless.
If he manages to escape this time, he will have to find a new loyal subordinate.
Ah, loyalty like that of the Iron Knight is not easy to train, and such good qualities are always accompanied by other human qualities that disgust Sezier.
Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips, looking somewhat unhappy.
"People like you really don't deserve the money." He couldn't help but sigh: "Two portions? Including my friend's?"
"No, myself, she's of no use to me."
Sai Qiye didn't want to pay double the money. He even thought of Xu Zhiyan's previous suggestion: "Or you let me go, and I'll let her follow you in the future."
As he said this, he looked at the Iron Knight standing beside him.
"You can do anything to her."
The place where the battle just took place was not far away, and Sezier could see Zoffy's face.
His Iron Knight is still so obedient.
After hearing these words, Zoffy even nodded when Sezier looked over.
"As long as... I can keep His Holiness alive, I am willing to give everything."
Hearing this, Saizier felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his chest.
In the human body, an organ called the heart is contracting tightly, as if it is experiencing great pain.
The experience was very strange for Sezier.
He glanced again at his Iron Knight.
Zoffy is not considered pretty. She has ordinary facial features and even her eyes are lifeless when you first see her. She looks like one of the countless puppets displayed in a collector's cabinet.
Now being stared at by those eyes again, Sezier couldn't help but recall the first time he met Zoffy.
Ordinary humans who were in a daze, wearing clothes that were washed so much that they faded but were very clean, were very panicked when they heard the diagnosis of a terminal illness, and Kali didn't even have money to buy medicine...
Weak and panicky, weak-willed, and at a loss.
No matter from which perspective, he is an ordinary human being, and during the conversation, the other party expressed that he did not want to live anymore.
Sezier remembered that he was a little surprised at the time, but he was a fair man. He was training his men, and he treated everyone equally and gave psychological hints to this simple human being.
'If you can't find the meaning of living, please don't die for the time being. You can try to regard me as the meaning of your existence.'
He gave many such hints.
But it is very difficult to cultivate a qualified loyalist.
After the first round of mental suggestion, the Pope mentioned the name change because he did not like the patient's name containing "Di".
When did you notice each other again?
It seemed that after a certain copy, he had just given a younger brother an SS-level item, and this guy died unexpectedly. He was very anxious at that time. He didn't understand why humans were so stupid that not only did they die, but they also lost his things.
In the end, the thing was not lost, and Zoffy took out his armor.
Sezier still remembers that day, the other person's eyes were bright and his body was covered with scars, so she returned the props.
"This is something important to His Holiness the Pope."
It's so strange, he obviously didn't do anything. He just deceived the other party, gained their trust and gave them psychological hints, and then used his own experience to modify the other party's beliefs, so that this confused soul would focus on him instead of the family.
'I will be the person the adults need.'
'You need a strong loyalist, and I will strive to be that person.'
At that time, Sai Qiye just thought that this human was a little interesting, so he simply gave the thing to Zoffy and took the person with him...
Zoffy took everyone by surprise.
As she said, she grew up little by little in the copy and eliminated all the incompatible things in her personality.
No, that's not right.
Why does he remember it so clearly?
Xu Zhiyan frowned, seeming to be in a dilemma.
He walked over to Zoffy.
"He gave you to me, for himself."
The Iron Knight did not speak, but the expression on her face became much gentler. In her eyes, sacrificing herself in exchange for the Pope's life was a great deal.
But in the next second, Xu Zhiyan still aimed the Golden Lynx at the Iron Knight.
"I promise you, I won't kill the Pope."
"Bang--"
The sound of gunfire echoed in the small space.
The Pope's thoughts were pulled away from his calmness, and he looked at Zoffy in disbelief.
The blood spread uncontrollably along the Iron Knight's body. Before she died, there was still a smile on her face, as if she was happy to be able to exchange her life for the Pope's.
“Dead…dead?”
Saizier's voice finally trembled.
When Xinan sliced him before, no matter how much pain he felt, or even if he was defeated in the battle, it didn't break his defense.
When the Iron Knight really died in front of him, he was stunned.
His name is the Pope, and he needs a perfect loyalist. Over the years, he has personally sculpted the docile and confused Zoffy into the firm and steady iron knight he needs.
Countless memories of Zoffy came flooding back to him.
Those little things she did wholeheartedly for him, those tears that Zoffy shed when she tried hard to hide her weakness and change her personality, every frame was engraved in his mind like a knife.
How strange.
Sezier didn't understand why his heart ached.
It was a void that was even more unacceptable than the lost body, and a strange emotion that made him panic began to spread in every corner of his body.
"Well, she's dead. Her life in exchange for yours. That's fair."
Xu Zhiyan's voice was still so light, and his face was filled with a comfortable smile after making a huge decision, as if he had solved a big problem.
This kind of Xu Zhiyan made Saizier feel unfamiliar.
"You...you are actually so cold-blooded?"
"Do you want to listen to what you are saying? Who sold Zoffy to me, just to save his own life?" Xu Zhiyan found it a little funny.
"She is not a teammate to you. She is a handy item to you. Since you can give her to me at will, why should I treat her as a teammate? How can such a good thing exist in the world?"
He seemed to have heard a joke and was laughing so hard that his whole body was shaking.
In the huge space, only Xu Zhiyan's voice was echoing. After he finished laughing, he spoke lightly to Sai Qiye.
"She has paid back what she owes you."
From now on, all matters concerning Zoffy have nothing to do with Saizier.
Ignoring the Pope who was immersed in shock and a little regret, Xu Zhiyan quickly walked to the corner where Jiang Huaique had just fought, squatted down, and patted Xinan's face.
"Still alive?"
He met a pair of light-colored eyes.
"My killing quota for today has been reached, so I won't kill you either." After saying this lightly, Xu Zhiyan grabbed the double-headed knife on the ground.
This was the second time he had gotten his hands on this weapon.
"Can you still get your knife?"
Xinan stood up shakily and took the knife in silence.
Xu Zhiyan smiled and motioned Yu Xiu to get his dagger back and clean up the battlefield.
"Okay, I only promised Zoffy that I won't kill Saiziye, but I have no right to interfere with any grudges or hatreds between you two."
He looked at the mad dog's almost fatal injuries and said nothing more.
Saiziye came back to his senses and looked at the silent mad dog. He suddenly felt not so angry anymore. He didn't even pursue the text trap set by Xu Zhiyan.
Zoffy's death left a void in his heart.
In a trance, he felt that it would not matter if he died with them.
When Xu Zhiyan walked past Saizier for the last time, he was a little puzzled by his calm expression.
"Boss Sai has such strong self-regulation ability? Has he accepted reality so quickly?"
Perhaps he suddenly realized something and calmly accepted his death. Instead, Sezier opened his heart to the profiteer in front of him.
"I suddenly feel that dying with Zoffy isn't a big deal."
After saying this, Sezier felt that he had been redeemed.
The empty space seemed to be filled with something.
He didn't quite understand, but he didn't hate the feeling.
Xu Zhiyan glanced at Xinan who was staggering towards him, frowned and sneered, then squatted down and whispered in Saiziye's ear in a voice that only they could hear.
"Want to die with your buddy? That's hilarious."
"In fact, I have a skill. People killed by me in a dungeon will not die. Instead, their memories will be erased and they will be resurrected in another place."
"The Iron Knight will forget you. When she wakes up, a new life will be waiting for her. Go to hell by yourself."
After saying this, Xu Zhiyan no longer lingered and strode forward.
He is not a good man.
How easy is it to die contentedly?
Left standing where he was, Sezier's eyes rolled slowly, as if he couldn't understand what the other party meant. Wouldn't his Zoffy die with him?
"Xu Zhiyan you——"
However, before he could finish, the sharp double-edged knife fell on his neck, cutting off a lot of flesh, including his head...
Regret and unwillingness reached their peak at this moment.
But it's too late.
Sezier didn't understand why he was sad. He seemed to have some other human emotions, but these things came too late, so late that he only realized it when Zoffy died. Or perhaps, if Zoffy hadn't died in front of him, he would never understand it in his life.
The head being separated from the body caused the memory to become confused.
The pain in my body continued to come.
His Zoffy will not die.
His Iron Knight will forget him.
He was the only one who would die here, from beginning to end.
The cut body began to soften and become transparent, no longer able to maintain the appearance of a human body.
Above the mess of corpses, Xinan looked at Xu Zhiyan's departing back without saying a word.
at the same time.
The second floor of the safe house was in chaos.
The morgue, which had not been used since it was opened, welcomed its first 'resident'.
