Lin Zhongtian asked with great interest: "Is there such a thing?"
Li Yun nodded and said, “But after carefully investigating Zuo Yu and Zuo Yu’s family background, I stopped.”
Lin Zhongtian asked in surprise: "Are you feeling guilty?"
Li Yun shook his head and said, "The reward is too little, you need to pay more."
Lin Zhongtian: “…”
Li Yun continued, "As a former assassination target of mine, I probably know him better than you do. I know that he is not a tough guy who can quickly support his family business after his parents' sudden death."
Lin Zhongtian asked: "So you suspect that I am a time traveler?"
Li Yun nodded: "Yes, I have also investigated the cause of death of Zuo Yu's parents. Although there is no evidence, I don't think Zuo Yu can survive in that situation, unless... he has a new soul in his body, just like me."
"Of course, this is just one of the reasons. The more important reason is—"
Having said that, Li Yun turned his head and looked at the statue of the golden-armored god standing in the corner, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Lin Zhongtian glanced at the golden-armored general and asked in surprise, "Do you know of his existence?"
Li Yun nodded: "I didn't explain it clearly. When I went to New York, John had already met the elders and returned to New York. I also learned the news about the golden armored man from him."
In the original plot, John Wick was wanted in New York. After breaking out of the siege, he found the leader of his tribe, the Russian Gypsies, and exercised his rights as a member of the tribe. With the help of the tribe, he escaped from New York and came to Casablanca, where he found the manager of the Continental Hotel, Sofia Azwar.
For some reason, Sophia and John made a blood pact.
Faced with John's request, Sophia had no other choice but to find a way to help him meet the elders as he requested. The elders are the symbol of the highest power of the high table and the only ones who can solve John's dilemma.
Finally, after going through a lot of hardships, John met the elders, and the elders agreed to forgive John, but he had a condition.
At this point, the plot has changed. In the original work, the elders' condition was for him to kill Winston, the hotel manager who disobeyed the organization. However, in this world, due to the incident of the Golden Armored God, the judgment on Winston was temporarily shelved, so the elders' condition became to find the Golden Armored Man and the organization behind him and destroy them.
John agreed to the condition. To show his loyalty, he cut off his ring finger and gave the ring on it to the elder. Then he left the desert and returned to New York.
But the reward on his head had not been withdrawn, so before returning to the mainland hotel, he was still hunted by many people.
Li Yun took action at this time, and he also learned the news about the man in golden armor from John during a short rest time.
Similarly, the changes in the plot are also one of the reasons why Li Yun is certain that there is another time traveler.
Lin Zhongtian asked curiously: "Then how did you know that the man in golden armor was with me?"
Li Yun said calmly, "My friend is an astronomy enthusiast and has many telescopes at home. I often use them to look at the sky when I am free, and I happened to see it flying in the sky."
What do you mean by coincidence? It must be that after he became suspicious of Zuo Yu’s identity, he deliberately observed Zuo’s manor!
Lin Zhongtian rolled his eyes, but did not say anything to expose Li Yun's lie.
Li Yun was also very tactful. He knew that no one liked being spied on, so he quickly changed the subject and looked at the golden armored general and asked, "So what exactly is it, a robot? Or Iron Man's suit?"
Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, and without him making any movement, the golden-armored general beside him slowly turned his head.
Looking at the pair of eyes inlaid with white jade, Li Yun felt horrified and subconsciously reached into his arms, but stopped halfway.
Lin Zhongtian put the gold coins in his hand on the table, glanced at him, chuckled and said, "The last time I let him go out for a walk was a week ago. You saw him a week ago, why did you come to see me now?"
Finally coming to the most crucial topic, Li Yun took a deep breath, stood up, slowly reached into his arms, took out a blood covenant badge and placed it on the table, looking at Lin Zhongtian solemnly.
"For the sake of our fellow countrymen, help me rescue my friend. I owe you my life."
“That’s what I told you!” Lin Zhongtian laughed and said jokingly, “With your personality, if it wasn’t a matter of life and death, how could you rashly appear in front of me, and even accept my invitation and come to my territory—”
"So, you ended up getting your friends into trouble, right?"
Li Yun stood silently in front of the desk without answering, but pushed the blood covenant badge forward.
In his previous life, he suffered from hereditary Asperger's syndrome, which has the same social barriers as autism, and difficulty in verbal communication. Many words were organized in his mind but could not be expressed. It was for this reason that in the 17 years of Li Yun's previous life, he had no friends except his blood sister.
Although Li Yun in this life is still psychologically affected by the influence of his past life, he has no physical obstacles.
The killer who was willing to take him in despite the pressure of a one million dollar reward was the first friend he made after becoming a normal person, and the only friend he had in his two lives combined.
Lin Zhongtian looked at him with interest for a while, then suddenly reached out and pushed the blood contract back.
Li Yun's eyes suddenly dimmed. He silently put away the blood contract and turned to leave.
Lin Zhongtian smiled and called him: "Hey, where do you want to go, Mr. Li? I didn't say I won't help you. After all, we are from the same hometown. It's just such a small matter, I am embarrassed to accept your blood contract - you want to save people, right? Sure, I will give you money, people, and even use my connections to cancel the bounty on your hotel in the mainland..."
Hearing this, Li Yun frowned and suddenly asked, "What do you want?"
Lin Zhongtian curled his lips and asked, "Why do you have to make a request? You are my fellow villager and you asked me for help. I happen to have the ability to do so. It is reasonable for me to help you. You have seen too much darkness in the world and have begun to doubt the sunshine. You regard everything as an exchange of interests. Little do you know that there are still many good people in this world..."
Faced with such heartwarming words, Li Yun remained very calm and seemed unmoved at all.
Seeing that he was not buying it, Lin Zhongtian changed the subject and said, "Okay, to be honest, I just thought it would be fun to help you take revenge on those assassin brokers, so I agreed to your request..."
Li Yun frowned and said, "Just because it's fun?"
Lin Zhongtian asked back: "Isn't that enough?"
Li Yun recalled the scene when he met the Queen of the Forest, and couldn't help but nodded and accepted this reason.
In his heart, Zuo Yu was indeed a mysterious person who acted without scruples and whose thoughts were difficult to guess.
Thinking of this, Li Yun sat down again, picked up the blood covenant badge, and decisively pierced his thumb, leaving a blood mark.
Lin Zhongtian shook his head and said, "I've already said that this is not necessary."
Li Yun pushed the blood contract over and said in a deep voice: "Without the witness of a third neutral person, the blood contract will not take effect. Just regard it as a promise from me. No matter what happens in the future, I am willing to help you."
After that, Li Yun paused and asked, "How are you going to help me?"
Lin Zhongtian pushed the blood contract aside and said without raising his head: "Simple, investigate the location, gather people, and then kill them."
Li Yun looked at Lin Zhongtian in astonishment, frowned and asked, "What if the other party gets wind of it and hurts my friend?"
Lin Zhongtian raised his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, they don't have the ability. Besides, with your personality, who else would think that I would be willing to help you except you and me?"
"Even if I really break in through the main gate, they will have to wonder for a while whether they have offended me in some way..."
The muscles at the corners of Li Yun's eyes twitched when he heard this. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. But in the end, he found that he was unable to refute. It was indeed not very harmful but extremely insulting.
