Yang Shuo's mind was now blank. He vaguely remembered that he had used healing magic to deplete his physical strength, and then fainted directly on the ground.
It won’t be long before Yang Shuo is discovered, and then he will be discovered and executed directly.
Just pitiful...
No one takes care of Nuonuo anymore.
With such complicated emotions, Yang Shuo had a hazy dream. He dreamed of the person who signed the contract with him that day, whose face he could not see clearly. He only vaguely saw that there were many terrible and hideous creatures beside the other person.
Those monsters looked different, but their aura was extremely terrifying, just like the ocean, its depth was impossible to detect.
Yang Shuo swore that he was not dreaming, because he could still remember clearly everything he had experienced. After that, the words the other party said made Yang Shuo's pupils shrink, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
The other party only said one sentence, which was: "Do you want to become the master of this land?"
Yang Shuo's previous dream was just to live a good life, have a full meal, and then stay by Nuo Nuo's side and not let her suffer any bullying.
It would be a lie to say that Yang Shuo had no ambition. In this land, who doesn't want to be stronger? After all, only with strong power can one protect the people and things he wants to protect.
However, at that time, Yang Shuo just wanted to become a professional at best. But after obtaining the healing technique and possessing the abilities of a professional, his mind began to change slowly and involuntarily.
Even Yang Shuo didn't know why he came here to kill the Great King and the Second King. Perhaps it was because of his background in healing surgery, or maybe it was because his long-term repression finally erupted, making him forget his fear for a short time, and thus came to this completely unfamiliar land.
Yang Shuo found that his thoughts had changed. He originally thought that as long as he had food to eat, everything would be fine. However, as he continued to be bullied, he felt that it would be safer for him to become a professional.
But now...
The kings and queens who used to dominate the slums were killed by themselves because of sneak attacks. You know, the other party once boasted that they had worked together to kill a professional.
Professionals are different from ordinary people, but even so, they were killed by thugs like the big and small Wangs.
The man in black in the dream asked himself if he wanted to become stronger? In order to save Nuonuo, Yang Shuo naturally said loudly that he wanted to gain strength.
The other party did not deceive him. After that, he indeed possessed power that ordinary people could hardly imagine. He became a true professional in one fell swoop and even had the ability to treat corpse poison. Now, the other party appeared again, and the first thing he asked was whether he wanted to become the master of Devil City
what does that mean
As long as I agree, then I may really become the leader who dominates everything here. At that time, no one can bully me anymore. Anyone, even the upper class who is high and mighty and superior to this area, will need to live under my nose.
More importantly, Nuonuo no longer has to worry or be scared, and no longer has to eat moldy and smelly food. She can live here happily like the children in the city, like a little princess.
Thinking of this, Yang Shuo finally stopped hesitating. He mustered up his courage and stared straight at the blurry black shadow in front of him: "I am willing, but... I have nothing to give you. I have already given you everything, including my soul."
"Ha ha… "
The black shadow suddenly sneered, and his voice seemed full of mockery for Yang Shuo's fear: "What are you thinking about? That's right, just like you said, you have nothing now, even your soul belongs to me, why are you still making an embarrassed expression?"
"You have to know one thing. Everything you have now, even your successful revenge, was made possible by healing. If it weren't for healing, your rib injury wouldn't have healed. You should have fallen to the ground and slowly died with your enemy."
Yang Shuo had some tricks up his sleeve, trying to get some information out of the other party, but it was obvious that the powerful being did not take Yang Shuo seriously and immediately exposed his plan.
Thinking of this, Yang Shuo hurriedly lowered his head, blaming himself for being too reckless. This was an opportunity he had finally obtained. If it slipped away from him because of his talkativeness, then he would be truly helpless and would not have any chance to become stronger.
The black shadow continued, "However, since you asked, I can tell you some of the ultimate goals. You have only one goal, and that is to help me kill the commander-in-chief of Devil City!"
"Great Commander..."
Yang Shuo seemed to have heard something out of the ordinary and shook his head instinctively. He simply couldn't believe what he heard.
The other party actually wants to kill the commander-in-chief himself. How is this possible
Who is the Grand Commander? He founded the Devil City. It can be said that the Grand Commander is the most respected person in this city. Even the people in the slums, whose lives are hard enough, are still grateful to the Grand Commander.
If the commander-in-chief had not been fighting the enemy on the front line and established this stronghold in such a terrible wasteland, people like Yang Shuo living in the slums would have been overwhelmed by zombies or insects long ago.
Even if you are not killed immediately and escape to the outside world, you will be targeted by terrible creatures. At that time, death may even be a luxury.
Although the commander-in-chief did not care too much about the lower-class people, he would still give them some comfort items every once in a while. For example, the pair of quilts that Nono used to keep warm were given to each family by the commander-in-chief himself.
Yang Shuo was still vague about the commander-in-chief, but his various experiences were closely related to him.
Both publicly and privately, Yang Shuo could not betray the other party so easily. However, just as Yang Shuo was hesitating, a series of familiar voices appeared beside him.
"Why? You don't want to? You have to know that meeting me is a great fortune. If you rely on your own energy, even if you can get a bite to eat in this devil city, that is still a very small number."
"Without me... you are nothing. What this world lacks most is kind people, but those inhumane guys account for 60% of the human population."
"If you refuse me, I will not bother you again. As for the healing technique you learned, I will give it to you as a reward."
"And if you accept, then it proves that we have reached a preliminary consensus. My goal is to become the leader here, and the commander-in-chief as you call him. This land is finished, and there is no hope at all."
"As the commander-in-chief, the other party's plan is good, but the means are still not strong enough. If you were the master of this place, how would you punish the monsters rampaging outside the city walls, or the criminals roaming in the slums? You watched those people destroy everything around you. As a man, as a man who is now called a professional, you now... really don't know what you want?"
